Review: ooVoo provides online video and conference call options

ooVoo for Mac's basic interface and features make it a good option for those looking to use their computer for video and conference calls over the Internet. The program also performs as a functional IM client.

The program is available to load for free, but some additional calling features require payments. For example, the application allows up to 12-way calling for free, but users must pay per caller above that number. Installation completed easily, as did account sign up, which walked the user through the process. Once initiated, ooVoo for Mac automatically signs the user in every time the … Read more

Review: Words Crossword Puzzle pares down the crossword experience

Words Crossword Puzzle provides a unique spin on the crossword puzzle that is at times challenging, and in many ways frustrating, but potentially rewarding for the right audience of word-puzzle lovers. Instead of supplying clues, Words Crossword Puzzle asks players to move a pile of letters into blank spaces to finish words already onscreen, in a sort of half Sudoku, half crossword variant.

The app starts with 30 puzzles, available in five languages, with the goal of taking a certain number of letters and placing them on a crossword grid to finish words that are already started. The challenge comes … Read more

Review: Yahoo! Weather is a slick, well-designed app

Yahoo! Weather is a fast, responsive, and ultimately very fun to use weather app from the online content guru. Designed to be sleek and easy to use, Yahoo! Weather presents all of the information you need in compact, pull-out menus that can be hidden for quick reference or pulled out for reams of information about the weather in any number of cities.

Yahoo! Weather opens with a static tile for your current location with the temperature and current conditions. If you slide the screen with your finger, however, you can reveal the forecast, details about the weather, wind speed, a … Read more

Review: Tic Tac Dino Clash offers a digital interpretation of the chalkboard game

Tic Tac Dino Clash is exactly as it sounds--a dinosaur-themed version of tic tac toe, but where it could have enhanced the game it merely replicates it and the results are passable at best. The basic mechanics of the game are intact, but the menus, setup, and general interface are all messy and hard to navigate, while playing against the computer borders on pointless.

Most reading this know the goal of tic tac toe--match three in a row on a 3x3 grid. Tic Tac Dino Clash allows you to choose between playing a human or computer opponent, and you can … Read more

Review: PictoShare streamlines photo sharing on an iOS device

PictoShare is not a social sharing tool; rather it streamlines sharing images between your device and that of another iOS device owner. It works well, finding devices with the same app on a wireless network and allowing you to share them with a couple taps onscreen, but it does little more than the already built-in PhotoStreaming or one of the many other apps that will share more than just images.

When you open PictoShare, you can choose an album and then any specific images that you want to share, and choose a device on the network to which you are … Read more

Review: Photo Reflect adds numerous effects to your photos

Photo Reflect combines a number of popular filters into a single interface to help you create varying levels of reflection in your images. The result is an effective photo filtering app that falls short in other areas, such as sharing and additional editing tools. For those who want finer control over the reflections added to their images, it is a useful app; but for many others, it is a single function app that likely won't be opened too often.

The app opens directly to the editing screen where you can take a photo or choose an existing one from … Read more

Review: MotionCamera Motion Detection Camera makes taking group photos easy

MotionCamera adds a timer to your camera so you can get in on the shot, but is not as easy to use as it could be. Still, you can take group photos more easily than is otherwise possible with the relatively limited photo tools already available on the iPhone.

When you open MotionCamera you can choose the duration of the delay between 0.1 to two seconds. Even with two seconds to get in front of the camera, it often isn't enough for most people. That's why MotionCamera only starts counting when it detects motion. So instead of … Read more

Review: EyeFly3D Img promises 3D image creation and viewing

EyeFly3D Img is designed to display and help you create 3D images on the iPhone, but whether due to technical limitations or early software bugs, it does not work properly in its current form. While existing photos show up in the sample folders and you can see how the process is performed to create them, neither of the functions--display or creation--quite works as intended, and the effect is disappointing.

When you first open EyeFly3D Img you can choose between viewing the sample 3D images or creating your own, both requiring the thin film from EyeFly3D to turn your iPhone's … Read more
