Notif Pro – Review
Notif Pro – Review If your memory is anything like mine, you’ll appreciate Notif Pro. It’s a handy app that allows you to create and place custom reminders in your pull down notification bar. I’ve used something similar in the past when I was back on Gingerbread, but it wasn’t anywhere near as polished as Notif. One of the reasons I love notification bar...[Read More]

Google Edition Rom for the HTC One – First Impressions
Google Edition Rom for the HTC One – First Impressions For the average HTC One owner, theres not a lot of stock Android roms around. Sure theres the CM Nightlies and some unofficial ASOP releases, but thats not what we crave. So you can all imagine my absolute delight to discover that just one day after the GE editions of the One and S4 were released there were two GE roms in the XDA ...[Read More]

Google Play Game Services. Some thoughts.
I hadn’t really meant to write an editorial but felt the need to share my thoughts on the new service Google rolled out recently. I’m checking every title now to see if it has real-time multiplayer, leaderboards, achievements and cloud saves. As I check, I see more and more adding the new features, which is awesome. We haven’t really seen many killer real-time multiplayer games ...[Read More]
Sketchbook Squad – Review
Tilt your phone to move the player, the more you move it to the left or right, the faster your super hero will jump/move in that direction. Use the platforms, rockets, and super soda cans to climb as high as possible. Avoid lasers, robots, meteorites, choppers and other hazards. In true Orangepixel style this game can be a bit more challenging then the other games in this genre! Looks and p...[Read More]
Editorial: Why a Nexus S4?
As usual there were a lot of rumours around what might be announced at this year’s Google I/O, and as usual most of them where wrong.

Google Play, commenting and feedback – Editorial
Google Play, commenting and feedback I’ll be honest, I’m not sure why but I very rarely leave reviews on Google Play. I honestly don’t know why but from today, I will be more keen to. I’m sure most Google Plus users have seen which apps/games/icon packs, I’ve plused. I usually just do this after I download whatever it is I’m looking for but if it turns out not t...[Read More]
