PowerLine – Review

PowerLine – Review There are a variety of apps, which allow you to keep tabs on what is being used by your phone. You can get a widget for your memory, a notification app for your battery. But these all have the problem of being hidden as soon as you start to use another app. If I’m playing a game, I want to see what memory and processor usage is happening. Some apps do offer this kind...[Read More]

Car Park Control – Review

Car Park Control – Review Now I don’t drive, but it sure looks fun! Well that was my impression after the marathon gaming session I had with Car Park Control. You get the opportunity to crash cars, hit those annoying pedestrians and not have to wait for roadworks. Car Park Control is an incredibly easy game. All you do is draw a path for where you want the car to car. This style of gam...[Read More]

Shooting Club Zombies Attack – Review

Shooting Club Zombies Attack – Review I’m not sure what zombies have done lately, but it appears that more and more games are tasking you with killing them. A lot of these lots of big guns, running around for ammo and hiding in a corner while you reload. Shooting Club Zombies Attack puts a different spin on the zombie shooter, by combining it with a sniper game. Your put way out of ran...[Read More]

HTC One Clear Poetic Case – Review

HTC One Clear Poetic Case – Review There is a saying that goes along the lines of “You’re just going to put a case on it”. This means that it doesn’t matter about the shape and look of the phone, because you’re going to put a case on and hide it anyway. The HTC One offers a fantastic body and was the main reason I went for it over say the S4. But I covered it up...[Read More]

Holo Ten Music – Review

Holo Ten Music – Review There are a variety of music services out there at the moment, but they all have one flaw; the fact it needs a data connection when you’re listening on the move. If you’re on the train or away from a data connection, you may still want to listen to the current top ten. This is where Holo Ten comes in, this app is a hefty 32mb app due to the fact you are do...[Read More]

DigiCal Calendar & Widgets – Review

DigiCal Calendar & Widgets – Review Calendar apps are a dime a dozen. However, most of them look and feel the same and all offer the same strengths and weaknesses.  However, DigiCal has surprised me, by providing a great service. DigiCal is a Calendar app in perfect sync with Google Calendar. Unlike other apps, it’s actually put a lot of thought into providing an user-friendly ...[Read More]

Umano – Review

Umano – Review Umano, is a news reader with a difference, it actually contains news readers! Obviously marketed at commuters, this apps will read out news articles to you as you walk up to the station. This was originally a iphone only app, but the development team said they realized that Android should be a priority after a marketing stunt where team members boarded for San Francisco with f...[Read More]

HTC One 4.2.2 – First Impressions

HTC One 4.2.2 – First Impressions Hooray! Finally we have 4.2.2 on the HTC One. I am not using the “Official” version of this update, i’m using the ARHD version, which for the time being is stock but with a few tweaks here and there.  The first thing that got me, was the change to the internal storage, it creates a new space and when you first log on all your music and imag...[Read More]
