Throw Out Those Scraps of Song Notes, This App Will Get You Organized – iPad App Review

Any songwriter will be familiar with this scenario: I’ve got worn out notebooks full of ideas for songs stuffed in every drawer in my house. I’ve got stacks of crumpled paper with two or three lines to an unfinished chorus and my phone message pad has random chord progressions scribbled all over it.

Songwriters tend to stop the world for that moment when the inspiration hits, but often times, the inspiration is short lived and all you manage to do is get a half a song scratched out onto a napkin. Even worse, when you tell your band mates about the song you came up with, you realize you forgot that scrap of paper and don’t remember what you wrote. VCVCBC by Okeedoke Studios tries to organize the creative process by giving you a place to scribble down your ideas and a way to share it with band mates.

Autodesk has been very busy lately. Not only did they release the 3D image creation app, 123D Catch a couple of months ago, but they’ve also been hard at work updating their art apps to support Retina display technology. Today, the company unveiled its newest addition to the Sketchbook family, Sketchbook Ink.

Sketchbook Ink is a vector drawing app that allows artists to create fine detail, independent of resolution to produce stunning, high-resolution ink-style artwork. High-quality images can also be printed from the iPad and final artwork can be exported at optimal sizes through email, dropbox or iTunes file sharing.

Let Your Peeps Tell You What Time It Is- iPad App Review

By | May 19, 2012 | No comment yet

Back in January of 2011, when the Mac App Store first opened, one of the first apps I downloaded was Swackett. Not only is it a useful weather app with local and national satellite radar, but it is adorable too. When I found out that the makers of that hip forecaster released a version for the iPad, I was giddy like a dancing stick figure. Peepometer is everything I wanted a Swackett app for the iPad to be, and more.

This is not just an optimized version of the desktop app. Peepometer actually looks a lot different. The only thing that remains the same as Swackett is the “Peeps” and the settings. Peepometer also includes an attractive clock, a barometer, a compass and much more. The app is designed to look like a mechanized looking glass with a sleek, black, stainless steel background that Steve Jobs would have been impressed with.

Ravensburger’s Scotland Yard Gets A Digital Makeover- iPad Game Review

Thirty years ago, the world was introduced to a complex board game with lots of secrets, detective work and frustrating guesses. That game was Scotland Yard. To celebrate the game’s diamond anniversary, Ravensburger has released it in digital form. Pick it up while you can. It is on sale for $4.99 for a limited time.

The game starts with players choosing either Mister X or a detective. If you’ve never played the game before, the tutorial is an absolute must. I never played Scotland Yard, but I have played a more modernized version of it called “Letters to White Chapel,” so the tutorial made a lot of sense to me. Brand new players may not understand how to win, but after a few games, the details become clear.

Arena RPG Spellsword Updated With All New Control Options

Spellsword is an arena-style combat-based platform RPG that’s a whole lot of fun. It’s very similar to the hit game Super Crate Box, where the goal was to demolish hordes of enemies just for the sheer fun of it.

Spellsword is more of a retro-style RPG, with loot and character improvements, but it’s essentially the same game. Each level is a small area with a few obstacles (jumps, spike balls, and more) where you will defeat wave after wave of enemies in non-stop combat.

Cubis Creatures is an Addictive Match – Three Game You Won’t Want to Miss

There are a lot of match three games in the App Store, so there’s no denying that it’s an over-saturated genre. As an app reviewer, I’ve played quite a few of the match three games in the App Store, so believe me when I say that Cubis Creatures is refreshingly fun.

Cubis Creatures isn’t your average match-three. For one, it’s got a great theme with colorful graphics and adorable monsters, and it’s also done in 3-D, so blocks can be added from the bottom, the side, and sometimes underneath.

If you’ve been on the lookout for a platformer that presents a serious challenge, you’re in luck, because This Could Hurt is the game that you’ve been searching for.

I’m not kidding – this is one of the toughest iOS games that I’ve played in awhile, which is going to sound odd when I say that it’s also got some of the simplest gameplay around, because you can play it one-handed with a single finger on the screen.

You Thought Kal Warden Already Saved The Universe? So Did He – N.O.V.A. 3 iPad Game Review

By | May 15, 2012 | No comment yet

One of the reasons I decided to upgrade from the iPad 2 to the new iPad was the promise that Apple’s tablet would be fast enough and have good enough graphics to play console-quality games on it. While the third-generation iPad does meet the standard, I had yet to play a game that fit the caliber until now.

Gameloft’s newest first-person shooter (FPS), N.O.V.A. 3, not only proves that the iPad can handle the action, but that developers can make the grade if they just put some work into it.
