Wonderful Day: daily task management made easy

Life is busy. It’s easy to put off or even entirely forget about daily goals, particularly the dull ones such as going for a run or tackling your five-a-day.

QR Pal: the next generation of mobile scanning

As far as barcode scanners go, QR Pal is a cut above the rest. On first glance, it appears to be little more than yet another clone of an ever popular mould.

Thundersword across the Sky, MEDL Mobile’s latest iOS gaming release, features a hulking, muscle-clad Viking type, who hurls his sword in the air as soon as you tap play.

Between purpose-specific apps, such as selective colour, and the jack-of-all-trade alternatives, namely Photoshop Express, it’s difficult to decide exactly which application is right for your specific needs. For [...]

Light Guardian – How long can you survive?

Light Guardian recently lit up the AppStore as the first application from new indie developer, Lukas Penkava.
