FirstClip sounds like a dream app. It is supposed to enable us to “search, play and download videos” from any site where videos are provided in an MPEG format. We are allowed to add up to as many sites as we want in order to search for videos on it. The app has a simple and easy to use interface. There is a single search tab where we have to type in the video that we want. While we are typing, the search generator throws up a list of suggestions to help us find what we are looking for.

There are many match-3 puzzle games in the App Store, but I bet there are few as sweet as this one. Blue Ice Cream has all sorts of ice creams that we have to match according to type. They are bright and colorful and look so tasty I could well lick them off the screen.
The game also comes with several features to make it more interesting. We cannot simply gawk at the tempting delights the whole day, but sell more ice creams than the target for each day to win the game. And of course, the more we sell, the Read More...
It is amazing what the iPhone can do as a utility app. It can now wake us up at a specific location we want it to courtesy Wake Me There. This app from Moshe Shitrit also ensures that we just don’t wake up to come boring alarm sound, but any music that we choose.
The basic premise of why this app is so needed is because it is location-based and not time-based. So we don’t have to worry about dozing off while travelling and waking up too soon or too early, or worse, completely missing our destination. Wake Me There works Read More...
Quotes may be short, but those few words can be deeply motivational and inspiring. And especially if they are from someone we respect, they can have a more profound impact. Carol Addassi has taken her appreciation of Vernon Howard’s words to a new level by bringing it to the iPhone to share with all of us. Be Free Now is an application that consists of 621 quotes by Howard, presented in a very pleasing and easy-to-access interface.
There is a button right next to the instruction button that opens up to more information about the author himself. If we are not Read More...
When I think of the game of chess, I envision hours on end of Zen-like concentration and patience in making the right moves. But it is quite a different picture with Speedchess from Process Holding. Here, speed is the name of the game that I would associate with ‘slow’ previously. The rules remain the same though, and there is no shortcut to success but through some quick response of the grey matter.
Perhaps one of the reasons why this version of the game on the iPhone can be played quicker is that there are only 30 squares instead of the standard Read More...
Now, this is quite a unique little one; we have seen so many driving games come and go, but I haven’t seen a doodle driving game yet. Doodle Kart Lite has all the fun of a standard driving game, with some doodle fun and extra surprises thrown in.
We can choose to race alone and let ourselves be the competition. Or if we are in the mood to battle it out, we can race against the computer or take part in a championship. There are Easy, Normal and Hard levels in the championship and CPU races.
The tracks are an interesting part Read More...
AOL, MSN, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Jabber, ICQ, MySpace. I’m sure that most of us use a few if not all of these IM networks. And even for those of us who do, here comes along an application to help us keep connected to all of them, and more. It is quite an irony, but it can prove to be a headache trying to connect to services that connect us to people. And that is hen IM+ Lite steps into the picture to relieve us.
I like the simplicity with which we can start using it. There is no Read More...
Alpine Crawler World has survived the ultimate gaming test in my book – the waiting test. I started playing this game while waiting for a doctor’s appointment the other day, and got so engrossed in it that the usual boring wait passed by in a jiffy.
The features in Alpine Crawler World will make any gamer proud of having it on his device. There are four racing cars to choose from and drive on three different and exciting terrains. The terrains have 10 levels each, so that’s plenty of action on the road less travelled. Both male and female drivers are Read More...
The best thing I like about this application is that it is the real stuff, not the cheesy or gory kind. We are talking about horror stories here, and I am so tired of the modern day zombies and vampires and simply mutated creatures. The saying that old is gold is so true; the classic horror stories dished out in 100 Horror Stories, Sounds and Scares sends chills down the spine like no pansy little story can.
The application does not only have stories but also sounds to add to the experience. We can listen to them anytime or while reading Read More...
One look at Bella Boo and you know that she is in anguish. Or the fact that she is a vampire fairy might as well account for that dead-pan and yet haunted expression. But seriously, if anyone is having their land invaded by wicked monsters, it would lead to one tormented appearance, right?
We, the gamers, surely cannot simply stand by and watch the helpless little fairy even though she is a vampire> be bullied by those evil creatures. What we can help Bella do is to trace a loop around the enemies with the trail that she leaves behind her. Read More...
If you are a good driver who knows how to take the best short cutes, you could be an ace at this game. But then there is just not one but three cars to control in CarMaze, so it could prove to be a little tricky. In this puzzle game from Hitesh Patel, we have to direct the cars to their respective exits which are similarly colored.
We have several items to do this as we chart out a route for each of them. There are colored arrows that can change the course of the car with the same color, and Read More...
I know that this is supposed to be an application for kids, but even though I am not one, I totally loved it. Tales2Go also comes under the Education section, but it is pure entertainment too. If listening to stories is not entertaining, then what is? And it is not just any story, but any story of our choice that we want to listen to from among the hundreds of stories included in this application.
The range and number of stories is mind-boggling, to say in the least. We can choose which one we want to listen to according to several Read More...
