Daily iPhone App: Curved

by Kelly Hodgkins (Apr 22nd, 2013)

I have a soft spot for image editing apps that let me add some flair to the photos I take with my iPhone. One app that has made its way into my permanent tool bag is Curved. As its name implies, Curved Text on Photo lets you overlay multiple layers of curved text on your iPhone and iPad ...

Daily iPhone App: ListBook: A list app with location based reminders and more

by Matt Tinsley (Apr 19th, 2013)

NoIdentity's ListBook (US$1.99) is a straightforward list compiler that looks great and has some well-implemented features to help you get on top of all those lists and things to get done. The list maker lets you compile numerous lists and add items (or to-dos / tasks) to those lists. To ...

Daily iPhone App: Fish Out of Water! makes a gorgeous splash in a shallow pool

by Mike Schramm (Apr 18th, 2013)

Halfbrick Studios is one of the most popular developers on the App Store, so much so that I can guarantee you've played their work before: Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride are their two biggest titles. And now, the Australian developer has released a brand-new iOS game, called Fish Out of Water, ...

Daily iPhone App: YoWindow for iPhone is a cute, useful weather app

by Dave Caolo (Apr 17th, 2013)

YoWindow for iPhone ($0.99) is a super cute weather app that combines information with good looks into a handy little utility. I've been using it for about a week and, while it won't satisfy hardcore weather junkies, those who simply want to know, "What's it gonna be like?" should enjoy ...

Daily iPhone App: Artkive helps you save your child's artwork for posterity

by Mike Schramm (Apr 16th, 2013)

I first learned about Artkive last week at an event here in LA, put on by Technori and designed to show off some of the best startup ideas in the City of Angels. The company has been around for quite a while, and has picked up a whole lot of buzz from mom bloggers and the parenting industry ...

Daily iPhone App: Daedalus Touch

by Steven Sande (Apr 15th, 2013)

If there's one thing bad about being a tech blogger, it's that you're constantly exposed to new and exciting hardware and software. More often than not, a first glance at an app turns into a buying opportunity, and the next thing you know you've spent anywhere from $0.99 to "a big amount" on ...

Daily iPhone App: It's called Lumber Jacked, and it's okay

by Mike Schramm (Apr 12th, 2013)

I first saw Lumber Jacked earlier this year at GDC. It's from Everplay Interactive, the folks behind the great Spell Sword, and while they're currently working on a followup to that one called Ace of Blades, Lumber Jacked is a smaller project they decided to deliver in the meantime. It's ...

Daily iPhone App: Dungeon Hunter 4 is a hack-and-slash that asks for cash

by Mike Schramm (Apr 11th, 2013)

I got to see Dungeon Hunter 4 in action a few weeks ago at GDC, and now the app is out and available for free on the App Store for you to try out for yourself. I'm torn on this one, unfortunately. On the one hand, this is an excellent game -- the graphics are extremely well done and the ...

Daily iPhone App: Lie Swatter has you swatting lies for fun with friends

by Mike Schramm (Apr 10th, 2013)

Developer Jellyvision is best known as the company behind the great You Don't Know Jack series -- they've made nearly every version of the best-selling trivia video game, including the really great iOS iteration. Lie Swatter is the latest game from the company, and while it's not related to You ...

Daily iPhone App: JetSet Expenses

by Steven Sande (Apr 9th, 2013)

Capturing expenses can be a real burden on business travelers; I personally can't count the number of times where I ended up paying for something rather than being to have a company foot the bill, simply because I wasn't able to find a receipt or didn't log an expense somewhere. JetSet Expenses ...

Daily iPhone App: Ms. Splosion Man splodes out onto iOS

by Mike Schramm (Apr 8th, 2013)

I'm a big fan of developer Twisted Pixel -- their console games are always terrific, with the original Splosion Man being one of my favorites. Now, the company has teamed up with developer Iron Galaxy and publisher Microsoft to bring the sequel to that one, Ms. Splosion Man, to iOS, and the ...

Daily iPhone App: Badland is a gorgeous alien journey

by Mike Schramm (Apr 4th, 2013)

One of my favorite things about the App Store is that it can offer some completely original and crazy ideas. Developers do have to get approval from Apple to be published, but that approval doesn't require a game to make sense or be clear, only that it works as advertised. Badland is one such ...

Daily iPhone App: bit Dungeon is a retro RPG done well

by Mike Schramm (Apr 3rd, 2013)

bit Dungeon arrived on the App Store a little while ago, and if you missed it then, you'd do well to try it out now. Quite a few games have used the old 8-bit, top-down RPGs as a rubric, but bit Dungeon is probably the best example I've seen of all of them. You simply go from room to room, ...

Daily iPhone App: Letter Rush puts a new spin on spelling games

by Mike Schramm (Apr 2nd, 2013)

Word games are probably my least favorite genre on the App Store at this point -- I think they're overused, and many companies these days are just kicking out half-baked spelling games in the hopes of reaching a large casual audience. But Letter Rush, put together by a former Zynga studio, is ...

Daily iPhone App: Alien Hive might help evolve your brain

by Mike Schramm (Apr 1st, 2013)

I am not sure whether I like Alien Hive or not, and I'll explain why in just a second. But last week at GDC, whenever I had a free moment to play games on my iPhone, I found myself pulling out Alien Hive and playing yet again. So I think that's more than enough reason to recommend it to you ...
