Super Paper Pool One Side Software recently got in touch with us and asked if we would like early access to their upcoming game, called Super Paper Pool, a mash-up of mini golf and billiards. I have to admit, I don’t tend to game all that much on my Androids, but I do keep a few on my devices, one of which is a pool game, another other a golf game, so this one appealed to me straight ...[Read More]

Our friends at mytrendyphone.co.uk recently sent us a Betasphere Audio Beacon HR-120 Bluetooth Link to review. It arrived yesterday, in understated cardboard packaging, with just a few pictures and the bare minimum of information on the box, and the CSR®/aptX® logo on the back, so I hopped online and did a little searching and found very little info on it. Similar results when search...[Read More]
This app has been out for a while, and I’ve been meaning to do a review since I started using it, but I never managed to get around to it until now. If you have an Onkyo network ready stereo or surround receiver and an Android device then you really should be using this app. I love it, use it daily with my TX-8050 (much to the annoyance of my neighbours, I suspect), and wish al...[Read More]
There are a few apps in the Play Store for mixing music on your phone or tablet, but as far as I know, this is the first Holo themed one. It’s also the cleanest, most user friendly mixing app I’ve tried. It’s basic, there are no pitch controls, no scratching, no fancy effects, and no record function, but that’s why it works. Simple and practical. And it’s free. Though...[Read More]

You still have a few options…There are several Bluetooth gadgets out there that will give you wireless audio streaming, you’ll be sacrificing some sound quality, though if you use low bitrate .mp3 files rather than .flac’s you probably won’t notice. Especially if you’re only s...[Read More]
Another quick and simple recommendation, the Belkin Merge Sleeve for 7″ Tablets If, like me you’re not into keeping your tablet in one of those Swiss Army style cases that can turn into stands or keyboards with a few simple twists, but prefer a simple bumper case, and yet would like some extra protection from scratches and the like when you bung your tablet into a rucksack, then you ca...[Read More]

Bluetooth headsets are pretty common these days, there’s something extremely convenient about not having to deal with wires or worry about wear and tear on 3.5mm ports. Sound quality takes a hit but for many the trade-off is worth it. Do a search for BT Headphones and you’ll find plenty of budget one’s to choose from. Enter Bluedio , with their Bluedio TF800 Bluetooth Ster...[Read More]
When it comes to music players for Android we’re pretty much spoiled for choice, just type “music players” into search on the Play Store and you’ll see what I mean. We all have our favourites, and it’s probably safe to say that many of us have had more than one installed at any given time. I know I’ve sometimes had up to 6 or 7 on my devices, looking for that perfect player, but never actually set...[Read More]
