Cool to be Clever: Edson Hendricks – Agio Studios

If you are a history buff and enjoy story telling in a first person factual way then this app has great appeal for you. There are many retrospective videos, interviews, reports, and personal theories related to the processes that eventually led to the invention of the Internet. There are great stories about creative thinking, about imagining that which isn’t and those involved with the core process of invention. At one point Edson speaks of the realization that they had no idea they were on the path to uncovering one of the most significant discoveries in the history of mankind.

Pinterest …ed in knowing what all the fuss is about ladies?

Pinterest – Cold Brew Labs

Apparently Pinterest is every woman’s dream!

Before we even delve into the review of this app you should know we made it a point to have one of our male associates review it. The thinking being the longer we could keep the women staffers in the dark the better as this platform seems to be so engrossing to the female persuasion all else stops. This would be very detrimental to us as the women in our lives run everything in the first place so we can’t imagine what would happen if they knew Pinterest was in the house. Now the cats out of the bag.

Pinterest wisdom well spoken

With that said the app delivers just like the platform. It rolls everything up in a nice tight bundle and smells better than the scented potpourri in the halls. This is not just another platform hoping to jump on the social media bandwagon, Pinterest has hit the ground running and is currently the fastest growing social media in history. It appears to be a combination of both Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. In a sense that users are able to view pictures in a scrapbook format neatly categorized according to their preferred niche areas.

Some pins to admire

Essentially, this means users can pin up their interests for other users to view. Thus the name of the app, Pinterest.

To join Pinterest, users have to obtain an invite from an existing member. Unfortunately at the time of this review, an invite was not granted and so this review will focus on the aspects that are available for all to see.

Great for showing off the gowns

Think of Pinterest as a message board similar to the many different niche forums scattered across the internet. Replace the threads within with posts similar to that of Instagram, and sort them in a format similar to Tumblr’s scrapbook design. After that, add in Twitter’s timeline method of presentation and you have Pinterest.

Pinterest Home sweet home

Despite being a social network, there really is not much social interaction on this app. Pinterest serves more as a marketing tool, drawing viewers and audiences to products whether intended or not. As a relatively young site compared to the heavyweights in the industry, the success and appeal of Pinterest remains to be seen. In the meantime, why not give it a go and see how you like it for yourself?

Pros:

Very organized layout for presenting images.
Simplistic design means no complex buttons or tabs to navigate through
Twitter and Facebook integration

Cons:

Invite-only

Rating is a strong 5

Kaptain Brawe – It’s A Brawe New World: G5 Entertainment

Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World (Full) – G5 Entertainment

Kaptain Brawe App Review by Slapapp

Kaptain Brawe – A Brawe New World is an epic based adventure play where a space cop Kaptain Brawe needs to rescue two alien scientists. This engaging as well as humorous gameplay has been developed by G5 Entertainment. ‘Kaptain Brawe- A Brawe New World’ runs on devices using Apple’s iOS Version 3.0 or later (iPhone, iPod touch and iPad).

Kaptain Brawe App Review by SlapApp for G5 Games

The game starts with how humans have progressed and made their presence in space by exploring new planets and other objects in the universe. Inter-space travel has resulted in space hijackers and kidnappers, and space police to control them. The game makes you the super confident and brave space cop, Kaptain Brawe. My mission was to rescue 2 alien scientists who had been kidnapped. It all sounded very serious but as I progressed the storyline became quite entertaining.

The game has been set in 4 unique planet surroundings. There are over 40 different locations in the gameplay with amazing graphics for each. So there I go jumping into the spacecraft.

Kaptain Brawe App Review by SlapApp

Kaptain Brawe keeps switching between three characters – Brawe, Luna and Danny as he meets up with numerous other personalities. These include characters in the form of space pirates, secret agents, interstellar government and so on. The storyline goes through space conspiracy, quests and general chaos.

Kaptain Brawe App Review by SlapApp

I could play in 2 game modes. Hard Mode – I had to choose between the hand and the magnifying glass to interact with objects on screen. Casual Mode – The hand and magnifying glass were chosen for me and there were lots of hints provided. The question mark icon proved very useful as it showed all intractable objects on the screen. Even the exits are visible as arrows on clicking the question mark. The journal at the bottom left of the screen showed a list of tasks I must finish.

Kaptain-Brawe-App-Review-by-SlapApp

The look and feel of the game is similar to the point-and-click adventure games such as Telltale games. The initial download is free but once I finished the tutorial part, a payment of $4.99 has to be made to continue the play.

To sum it up, Kaptain Brawe – A Brawe New World is a challenging yet humorous gameplay about finding items, questioning characters and combining everything perfectly to solve puzzles. It has a brilliant soundtrack and I felt as if I was watching an old adventure flick. The amazing graphics combine hand-drawn backgrounds with 3D character models. The game scores in the retro look and feel but for new age kids who are used to playing modern adventures with full voice casts will get disappointed. The company needs to bring in more innovation for a longer app life.

2360: Battle for Cydonia

Rich DeBell — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:45:17 +0000

2360: Battle for Cydonia by Brisk Mobile Incis straight up addicting fun! I can’t believe how much the iPhone and iPod Touch systems are revolutionizing the gaming experience! Time an time again I get blown away by the wide range of quality apps of all categories available to us now to enjoy in the palm of our hands. Enough praise of the iPhone alone though….what I’m getting at is 2360: Battle for Cydonia is another home run hit iPhone app game. From the story line to the game-play, Battle for Cydonia keeps you involved and interested from the start.

The story line in 2360: Battle for Cydonia, is based off of a concept similar to the popular Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Total Recall. In it you are part of a rebellion fighting to claim their fair share of the Mars colonization. There are 21 missions, some of which are quite lengthy and challenging. The missions themselves offer a fair amount of diversity. Some are more the run-of-the-mill collect this object, destroy this target– while others also include escort and base-defence as well as a few others to keep things interesting. Throughout the game you’ll need to invest in upgrades for your Mech both to help improve you’re armor and weaponry.

2360: Battle for Cydonia differentiates itself from similar games with its unique use of the iPhone’s multi-touch feature, both allowing you to navigate the battlefield and shoot weapons at enemies from different directions all at the same time. You direct your Mech by dragging your finger around and fire your weapons by tapping on enemies. Allowing the user to navigate the Mech by dragging paths frees you to fully concentrate on what’s important; blowing up aliens of course.

Battle of Cydonia is a fun, challenging game that can provide you with hours of entertainment. I recommend adding it to your app arsenal! If you’d like to take it for a free test run then be sure to checkout 2360: Battle for Cydonia Lite!

Version Reviewed: 1.0.3

Requirements: iPhone or iPod Touch; iPhone OS 2.2 or later

Poo Log

Ryan Johnson — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:59:50 +0000

Everyday each of us spend a little private time dropping a deuce….some more than others. On a good day you pass on a monster mister clean that smells good (to you), gives you a poorific head tingle, requires little to no wipeage, and with any luck it might even break the surface! On a bad day you might be executing frequent courtesy flushes, while performing your best impression of a New

Years Eve fireworks show. Why such extremes? Could it be that our poo is telling us something? Well, with the help of the poolicious Poo Log app for iPhone, you can finally learn what your poo is telling you!

Poo Log, created by AvatarLabs, is based on the best selling book “What’s Your Poo Telling You?”, and is full of poo-centric features that’re sure to bring out the poo lover in all of us. Crammed inside the app are a built in journal, timer, a clever mix of poo humor, tidbits of poo trivia, and driblets of real poo-based medical information. It even tracks and graphs your poo so you can see how your bowl movements vary over time! It’s poopified theme, pooptastic humor, and brain satisfying poo trivia ensure that your next poo, no matter what kind it is, will be an enjoyable experience.

The moment Poo Log opens it’s built in poo timer starts ticking. It quietly and unasummingly counts down the time it takes for you to ”doo” the deed! If you want, you can stop and start the timer at any time just by touching it. It’s up to you what you want to do from here. You can press the POO LOG button and review your history of poos by month and day, you can press the POO PASTIMES button and test out your poo trivia and medical knowledge, or you can check out the POO GRAPH and view your latest poo trends.

Personally I recommend going straight to POO PASTIMES. I found the questions both humerous and fairly challenging. I was also rather suprised with the depth of trivia questions. I’m not sure how many total are in the app, but I played for 24 minutes straight and didn’t see the same question twice. No matter which option you select, make sure that when you’re done with your dirty business you press the NEW POO button. It’s there that the date, time, duration, total score, and description of your poo experience are captured. Classify your poo by selecting from descriptions such as Delivery: Epidural please!, Couple of pushes, no grunts, and Smooth like butter, baby. You can even add notes if you’d like to remember a little something special from your recent blooper!

What can I say? Poo Log is a pretty unique and interesting little app. If you fancy yourself a discerning poo-er you’ll certainly enjoy it. We didn’t experience any bugs or issues while testing. The only thing we noticed was one measly little typo in one of the POO PASTIMES answers. False was spelled “Flase”. If you’ve been looking for something unique to help pass the time while on the pooper, why not get something that’ll help you learn what your poo is telling you! Go pinch yourself off your very own Poo Log from the App Store today!

Summertime

Ryan Johnson — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 03:28:35 +0000

Summer, summer, summer time, Summertime! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely hate daylight savings time (DST)! Why? Because I ALWAYS forget it. It’s no sweat in the fall when you gain an hours sleep, but in the spring when you lose an hour; pure hatred!

Well, one thing’s for sure, this year daylight savings time won’t be as traumatic thanks to Summertime! Summertime, an app created by Oliver Drobnik (A.K.A – Dr. Touch), is your anywhere anytime DST calculator. No matter where you live in the world, all you have to do is fire this bad-boy up and it tells you exactly how many days, hours, and minutes until the next DST switch! It even gives you helpful hints like “You can sleep an hour longer”.

Summertime isn’t jam-packed with fancy bells and whistles. It does all of it’s voodoo magic behind the scenes. Each time you open the app it taps into the iPhone’s ginormous internal timezone database and figures out whether or not DST applies where you live, and if it does when it takes place. Whether you live in the U.S. or in Europe, Summertime knows all of the magic dates. And, for the persistent mom inside all of us, Summertime has an email feature built right in so you can send all of your friends and family a reminder of the upcoming time switch! Think about it. You’ll be a hero! Ok, ok…that might be a stretch.

Alright, so what do you get when you download Summertime. Well as mentioned, you basically get one-touch access to the exact day/time/minute of the next DST switch, and the ability to send reminder emails. Yeah…I know it’s not something that you”ll use everyday, but I guess it serves it’s purpose twice a year. We definitely think this app would be best positioned as a free app instead of a paid. However, if a few more gizmo’s were added to it we think it’d do just fine as a paid app.

So, you might be wondering what gizmo’s we think would take it up a notch. Well, we’d love to have the ability to change timezones from within the app, so if you’ve got friends and family on other continents, you can more easily send them a reminder. The way Summertime works currently is you can only send reminders for the timezone that your iPhone is set to. Another feature that would really spice it up would be the ability to schedule reminders. If you could setup in advance your email distro list, select their time zone, and auto send reminders when the time is right, this app would rock! Nonetheless, Summertime does exactly what it says it does, and it does it very well. No issues, no bugs, just super quick access to current info for the next upcoming DST. If you’re looking for a DST reminder then download Summertime today!

BREAKING NEWS: 100,000 Apps in iPhone App Store

Ryan Johnson — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:48:11 +0000

October 27, 2009

Remember when the iPhone App Store first opened in July 2008 and the big news was that there were 500 apps available for download? I was so excited that I ran around the office spreading the good news. My uncontrolled excitement was quickly trampled by an overwhelming amount of naysayers. As they clicked away on their clam-shell phones and whirled the little ball on their BlackBerry’s they looked at me as if they were disgusted that anyone would suggest to them that there was something else better out there. Within an instant they had dismissed the App Store as nothing more than insignificant and childish. Not willing to take no for an answer, I tried to win them over by showing off a few shiny new apps. I’m pretty sure I showcased the same cliche apps as many of you did. I waved my light-saber, poured and drank my virtual beer, and I rolled my Super Monkey Ball around to showcase the amazing accelerometer based controls. I looked up from my iPhone with a huge grin on my face eager to see that I had one them over. They looked at me with a blank and unamused stare, followed by brash statements and questions: “What would I do with apps on my phone? I don’t need any of that silly stuff. Even if I did, I’d never ever use it. I would definitely never pay for anything like that! It’s a phone. I don’t use my phone for anything else but making phone calls! Who in their right mind would actually care about this kind of stuff? Certainly not me!”

Well, looking back I guess I have room to say I told you so! It’s been amazing to see how quickly the iPhone App Store has blown up! From the day it was launched it’s popularity spread like wildfire and before you know it 500 apps became 1,000, then 5,000, 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, and 75,000. And now another huge milestone has been reached. Today the popular blog Gizmodo announced that the App Store has officially broken the 100,000 app mark. The unofficial tally of approved apps is 101,843, of which 93,000 are currently available for download.

The numbers are nothing more than staggering. It seems like just yesterday that Apple announced the 100,000th download. Since then we’ve seen the app download dial whirl uncontrolably like the winds of an F5 tornado, spinning it’s way to the previously unimaginable number of 1 billion downloads. So much for that measly billion. Apple now acknowledges they’ve reached the 2 billion download mark! Incredible! What’s next?
