Digical – Review

Digical – Review I know people aren’t fans of the “Alternative” app. On the surface Digical looks like another alternative app. But when you open it and start using it, you’ll realise its a sleek, easy to navigate app, with some great features and a fantastic widget gallery. With its recent jump to the stable V1, the app is a lot more polished since I last review it. ...[Read More]

CloudMagic – Review

CloudMagic – Review Can anyone remember K9-Mail, that used the be the one app you always downloaded. CloudMagic is taking over that mantle and I feel should be the next big mail client. People have even mentioned including it in Cyanogenmod version, which personally I agree with. To be honest the only thing I don’t like is the name, doesn’t make you think mail client, but apart f...[Read More]

Betasphere HR700 Twist Bluetooth Speaker – Review

Betasphere HR700 Twist Bluetooth Speaker – Review Picture the scene, you have an HTC One X, your devilishly handsome husband has a HTC One with those great speakers, what’s the solution? The solution is the Betasphere HR700 Twist Bluetooth Speaker. This black, matte finished speaker has great sound, looks great and easy to setup. My wife was ecstatic when she played with this, the spea...[Read More]

Cover beta – Review

Cover beta – Review Cover is now out of closed beta, and has moved to open beta via the G+ community. Droid Horizon were in the first wave of testers and I have to say I was very surprised by the performance and overall functionality of this app. There is room for improvement, but this app has a lot of growing room and could be a very powerful app to have in your arsenal. When you first load...[Read More]

HTC One Mini – Review

HTC One Mini – Review Thanks to our good friends at Clove, we have had the chance to use the HTC One Mini exclusively now for 2 weeks and thought we’d share our thoughts and feelings on the HTC Ones little brother. We’ll try to break things down into what we think are the key areas when buying a phone. We also have a HTC One in the office, and will be using it to compare features and s...[Read More]

Switchr – Review

Switchr – Review Multitasking is what Android is about. But the whole process of picking a running app has always been clunky. You have to tap the dedicated button, or double tap for Sense user and then select the app you want to run. Or you can then open the draw and pick the app you want. But if your in the mood for a change then Switchr is the way to go. This app throws in an easy to use ...[Read More]

Wake the Cat – Review

Wake the Cat – Review As a fan of zombie games, Wake the cat appears on the other end of the spectrum. The premise of the game is, that the cute little kitten wants to play with a ball of wool. But because it waited too long, its fallen asleep, and so has granny! This means its up to you to get that ball of wool to the kitten and wake the cat. Wake the cat includes up to 60 levels, each one ...[Read More]

Dead Trigger 2 – Review

Dead Trigger 2 – Review Sometime ago Madfinger released, what would become a very well known game, Dead Trigger. The graphics were immense, the controls were easy to pick-up and the gore factor was just right. The issue in the end was that it just became too repetitive, and it become clear that just throwing hoards of zombies at people was not going to be enough. This was why I was exited to...[Read More]

Plants vs Zombies 2 – Review

Plants Vs Zombies 2 takes all we loved about the first game, plants and zombies and mashes it up with some brand new game modes, new plants, new scenes and a new way of thinking. The best thing is its free to download, but unfortunately not to play, most of the game’s content, levels and plants can only be gained by paying through the nose, or playing this game a lot. The prices vary, unlock...[Read More]

Sense 5.5 – Review

Though its only a .5 increase from the original Sense 5, this update solves lots of niggles I and others had about the system. I have been using the update for around a week, so have noted lots of changes and improvements. Let me know in the comments if I’ve missed anything and I’ll add it. The first addition is the integration of Google+, this theme runs through the whole OS. But you ...[Read More]

Convert Everything – Review

Convert Everything – Review Imagine having a very smart maths guy in your pocket, that you can pull him out at any time to convert meters to feet, or US shoe sizes to UK, or grams to kilos. Well unfortunately we are still waiting for that shrink-ray to be made, so for the time being we will use the next best thing Convert Everything. This app uses a huge list of options in an easy to use for...[Read More]

Clash of Clans – Review

Clash of Clans – Review There will come a time, where you find a game everyone says is “addictive” and that they “cant put it down”, and when you play it, you actually cant stop playing it! I found this with GTA V and I have also found it with Clash of Clans. This game is very heavily based around IAP and though this makes it hard to progress without spending a dime, ...[Read More]
