App Review: Super Stickman Golf

I'm sure that I am not the only smartphone user who enjoys neat little games on their device, and with offerings such as Angry Birds and Doodle Jump there is a benchmark. Super Stickman Golf fulfills that for me. It is a part of feint gaming so you can log on and compare scores with your friends. The premise is simple enough, if you like golf but aren't 'technically able' like me then this should feed your thirst.  There are beginner, intermediate...

App Review: Pimp Your Lockscreen

As I have said before, iPhone's are terrible for customisation. There are many apps that have tried to change this, and failed. Personally, I have tried many of these apps. I came across 'Pimp your Lockscreen' about 3 weeks ago. I thought it would be different from the others, but yet I was once again let down. I found the app to simply contain wallpapers for the home-screen.As this is a paid app, I thought it would be much better. There weren't...

Hardware Review: MacBook (2008)

The All White Finish Looks Great. Doing a quick hardware review for you guys, had a couple of emails inquiring about my computer so thought I would oblige. I am currently operating the old-shape MacBook running Mac OS X. It has a 2.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core 2 processor supporting the 1GB of ram available. It has 120GB's of hard drive memory, although the stats aren't outstanding the operation is still smooth. As I rarely run any programs that...

App Review: Steam

An example of the store. Valve studio recently released an anticipated official Steam app. For those who aren't aware of what Steam is exactly, it basically is the program upon which most PC gamers run their titles. Of course the app is fairly limited, only allowing quite primitive functions. But you can message on it, buy games, add titles to your wishlist and monitor friend activity. It is (not surprisingly reminiscent to the Xbox Live application...

App review: Visidon Applock (free)

With Android 4.0 including facial recognition for unlocking apps, until it was released for me I have decided to try out a similar feature that comes with the product 'Visidon Applock'. The concept is very simple: When you go to open a protected app you will be prompted to point the camera at your lovely face and allow the app too 'read' it and, if it matches the pictures you've captured in the database, then you'll be in! This feature proves...

App Review: WhatsApp Messenger

WhatsApp has always been in the top 25 apps of the week since I can remember. Due to this, I thought I would give the company my 69p and download this cross-platform chat application. I've had this app for a few months now, and I'm bitterly disappointed. In my opinion, it's the same as any other cross-platform chat app, such as 'Kik Messenger' which is free. Its user face compares to the one of the original 'Messages' application. It is really simple...

App review: Go Launcher EX (free)

Go Launcher EX is for customization addicts. The downloadable Market themes change more than just icons: they...
