60 Second App Review – photomath
Price – Free Ads – No IAP – No Rating – 9 Moving on from yesterday’s MyScript review and expanding on it to bring more complex maths to the small screen I have been looking at photomath.

60 Second App Review – MyScript Calculator
Price – Free Ads – Yes (although I have yet to actually see any) IAP – No Rating – 8 I cant remember ever owning a mobile phone that didn’t come with a calculator app pre installed.

To catch the eye or even be considered useful a calculator app really needs to offer something b...[Read More]
60 Second App Review – Sunrise Icon pack
Price – Free Ads – No IAP – No Rating – 9 One of my pet hates with themes or icon packs is when the developer/designer goes a little crazy with a single colour. It’s always nicer when they use colour intelegently instead. For me thats what Sunshine does, it uses tones and a general theme to create a look and feel. With around 600 custom icons all of the most popular a...[Read More]

The free version of the game ...[Read More]

What it does is allow you customise the navigation bar on your device without resorting to rooting. The first choice you make is the colour you want your navigation bar to be. You can select it to a single unchanging colou...[Read More]
60 Second App Review – Y Music
Price – Free Ads – No IAP – Yes (voluntary donation) Rating – 8/10 One of the biggest bugbears of listening to music on YouTube (yes, that’s what the Y stands for) is the screen off, sound off problem. Even backing out the app is enough to pause playback. To address this issue and a couple of others, Google started a subscription service called YouTube Red. Red leader...[Read More]
60 Second App Review – Gladiobots
Price – Free Ads – No IAP – No Rating – 8/10 Games that let you control robots in battle have been around for years.

60 Second App Review – VOVU
Price – Free Adds – Yes IAP – No Rating 6/10 Puzzle games can be very hit and miss on mobile. Striking the right balance between too simple and seemingly impossible is a hard thing to achieve.
