    Hands-on: GolfSense iPhone and Android swing tracker review

    By 15 May 2013

    Golf is a beast of game to get right. Even after countless hours of practice on a range and years of games on a course, you can still end up shanking a ball into someone's back garden, with little understanding of what went wrong. So anything that can...

    App of the day: Don't Steal My Banana review (iPhone)

    By 14 May 2013

    There's a lot to be said for monkeys, particularly ones wearing shades. That's the prime reason that we downloaded Don't Steal My Banana, an app in which you need to hold a line of defence by lobbing fruits to fend off a variety of hungry mammals whom,...

    App of the day: Domo: The Journey review (iPhone)

    By 7 May 2013

    We've seen some interesting computer game characters in our time, but Domo is definitely up there among the strangest. Think of a giant, toothy Weetabix-like sprite with legs and arms and that's your lead character right there. He's on the chase to track...

    App of the day: Traktor DJ review (iPhone)

    By 3 May 2013

    DJing has gone from a pursuit that cost thousands to one that can cost as little as £3 if you buy Traktor DJ for the iPhone or iPod touch. That's not to say that if you buy this app your phone will immediately ring with an offer from a superclub in Ibiza,...

    App of the day: Ridiculous Fishing - A Tale of Redemption review (iPhone)

    By 30 April 2013

    We know what you're thinking: Fishing as a computer game - how can that be good? Ridiculous Fishing really proves its name's point: it has guns, guts and, er, hairdryers. But it'll hook you in in no time - this is as classic a game app as they come. Ridiculous...

    App of the day: Iron Man 3 review (iPhone and Android)

    By 29 April 2013

    Most movie tie-ins apps are usually terrible. This one isn't, which is a good thing too because Iron Man 3 is awesome and you will likely want more of the same the moment you leave the cinema. Thankfully all you need to do is whip out your smartphone...

    App of the day: G.o. Jump review (iPhone)

    By 23 April 2013

    Games are like movie productions these days, so when a title such as G.o. Jump harks back to "the good ole days" and focuses on simple yet addicitive gameplay in a bold-coloured, single-screen environment it's a breath of fresh air. Inhale it, go on....

    Hands-on: Twitter Music for iOS review

    By 22 April 2013

    It came as no surprise when Twitter on Thursday launched Twitter Music, an app for iOS that helps users find what music their friends are listening to based on social recommendations. It’s an interesting concept by the folks at Twitter, who just released...

    App of the day: Pilot's Path review (iPhone, iPad)

    By 8 April 2013

    Exploratory helicopter games haven't really existed since Nuclear Strike finished the Strike series in 1997. Pilot's Path could be accused of being more of a nod to the yet-older Desert Strike game, albeit minus much of that title's "strike" action. If...

    App of the day: Sprint Driver review (iPhone)

    By 2 April 2013

    Take one bike, the open road and a bunch of hazardous trucks, lane-swerving police cars and, er, trails of collectable coins, pop it onto a gyro-controlled Apple device and - boom - we have Sprint Driver. The tilt-to-control mechanism game is not so much...

    App of the day: The Croods review (iPhone and Android)

    By 27 March 2013

    Rovio, the studio behind the much-loved Angry Birds, has now applied a bit of its magic touch to a movie tie-in app. The Croods app, which launched alongside the Dreamworks-produced animation, is rather good.  As you would expect from a Rovio title,...

    App of the day: Puzzle Retreat review (iPhone)

    By 26 March 2013

    Puzzle Retreat may not have the most imaginative name in the world, but its variety of puzzles are brain-taxingly imaginative right from the off. If order and deductive logic are your thing, or you just want to train those brain cells and frustrate your...

    App of the day: Weight Watchers review (iPad/iPhone)

    By 25 March 2013

    A new year normally means a new start. Better person, better body, more organised. Well, for about five days until you realise that actually, doing nothing and eating the contents of your entire fridge is a far more satisfying experience than running...

    APP OF THE DAY: Tic Stac Toe review (iPhone)

    By 19 March 2013

    Some games are undeniable classics. Noughts and Crosses, Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect 4, Four in a Line - whatever you happen to call the line-em-up game - there's a smart little app called Tic Stac Toe which adds a third dimension to the game. As if a flat,...

    APP OF THE DAY: Pope Election 2013 review (iPhone)

    By 13 March 2013

    We get that this isn't necessarily for everyone, but if you are a bit of a Pope fan, then this app could prove invaluable. It acts like a one-stop shop for all news, images and general gossip about the 2013 papal election. It is also laid out really well,...
