Finish for iPhone aims to help even procrastinators get their stuff done

By Rene Ritchie, Wednesday, Jan 16, 2013 a 2:32 pm

I've joked that to-do apps are like gym memberships -- something people throw money at out of guilt and good intentions, but seldom follow through on using. Finish by Basil, just released for the iPhone, aims to to help with that through a combination of good design and the understanding that failure often is an option. In fact, Finish is crafted precisely with procrastinators in mind.

Dome skin for iPhone review

By Georgia, Monday, Jan 14, 2013 a 8:13 pm

I love Domeskins. They're like skins but are thicker, giving them an almost 3D look and feel. I have been using them for a week and, at first, I put them on because of the beautiful look and matching wallpaper. Almost immediately after that, I came to appreciate Domeskins for the wonderful feel and extra grip they provide for my iPhone. With Domeskins, when I place my iphone on a surface, it will stay in place and I don't have to worry as much about it sliding to its doom, or being nudged into oblivion. It just stays.

Quento for iPhone and iPad review

By Leanna Lofte, Monday, Jan 14, 2013 a 4:13 pm

Quento is a fun little math game that is a great challenge for all levels and ages. The objective is simple: use the available numbers and operations to get the indicated result with the indicated amount of numbers. However, not only are you restricted to the available numbers and operations, but you have to be able to create the expression by dragging your finger over them in one swipe -- and order of operations matters!

Hundreds for iPhone and iPad review

By Leanna Lofte, Friday, Jan 4, 2013 a 2:45 am

Hundreds is a new puzzle game by Semi Secret Software where the goal is to make enough of the circles in each level to grow to at least 100 points total between them. But here's the catch, when a circle is growing, it becomes very volatile and cannot make contact with anything while being grown. If a collision occurs, it's game over.

Pudding Monsters for iPhone and iPad review

By Leanna Lofte, Thursday, Dec 20, 2012 a 12:44 am

The makers of the highly addicting Cut the Rope game have released a new puzzle adventure called Pudding Monsters. Just as cute and just as addicting as Cut the Rope, Pudding Monsters is destined to also be a huge hit. The goal is to help the adorable little Pudding Monsters (I think they look more like Jell-O) save their friends from the cold-hearted fridge owner by getting them to stick together.
