Review: Flick Home Run!

The concept of this game is simple…Flick the ball that is thrown (pitched) at you with your finger and make a home run. Sound simple?

Well, as with other ‘flick’ based games, the controls of this baseball style game are simple but getting the timing and accuracy right is crucial to determine if that home run is even remotely likely.

The further you hit the ball, the more points you get, extra points are rewarded for popping balloons in the sky and even bouncing off cars and houses if you manage the home run.

BluePrint 3D – a challenging 3D puzzle game.

BluePrint 3D is a great, unique puzzle game. With over 270 levels to work your way through this motion puzzle game will keep you busy playing for hours.

When you first begin a level, you will be greeted with a mixed up blueprint picture. The idea is you figure out what this image is and match up all the lines and dots until you have the completed image in front of you.

To create the pattern you need to rotate the image with your fingers, I found two thumbs on either side of the screen worked better. Once you do this, if you are doing it the right way the image will start to show itself. Keep rotating until you solve the puzzle. When you do the screen will flash and the picture will be shown.

If you want a world clock, weather, alarm clock and the added beauty of a live 3D simulation of planet Earth then look no further than Living Earth HD.

Once you start the application you are presented with the globe that can be rotated by swiping horizontally. This allows you to see where the sunlight is appearing and where darkness has fallen and a recent live view of cloud cover.

     

A quick press in the bottom left hand corner determines your current location and gives you the location’s time and weather. Press the time at the top will list all your saved locations and clicking on the weather details at the bottom presents you with a 5 day forecast or view 2 hourly forecasts for next 24 hours.

Spotify has been providing an excellent alternative to traditional ways of buying individual albums with an impressive streaming service that allows you for £9.99 (UKP) a month to download whatever you want as long as you keep paying.

Spotify has it’s own very competent iPhone app for free but SpotON has just launched and one of the early third party apps which utilises Spotify’s CORE services to provide an alternative way to use your Spotify account and listen to music.

     

SpotON Radio’s aim is to allow you to search for artists from either your Spotify playlists, from SpotON’s Top 100 list or a general search and create stations of that artist and most crucially similar sounding artists utilising the recommendation engine at the EchoNest.

There are so many apps available now for the iPhone that many go unnoticed. Which is a shame, there are a lot of good ones out there, InstaFrManager is one of them. Now I know the name of the app is not the best. In fact it is quite a mouthful but if you can get past that it is a very useful app.

Instagram is a hugely popular social photo sharing app. Once you start posting and building up a following it is very hard to keep up with who you are following back and who is not following you. This is where InstafrManager can help you.
