Some people can never settle on just one wallpaper for their home screen. Wallpaper Changer can give you a new wallpaper whenever you want. It can even schedule your wallpaper to change at certain times. It works like a charm, but can only use images already on your phone, and doesn't come with new images to choose from.

The fact that this app doesn't download wallpapers for you means it won't make you go over your data limit with random downloads, but it also means you're stuck with the pictures on your phone. It can't … Read more

Not every photo-editing app has to take itself seriously. This fun app has several powerful features to speak of, but the main goal is to have silly fun with your photos. Photo Wonder adds faces, props and all sorts of other bizarre goodies to your mobile gadget's photos. It's a nice novelty with enough variance to not get too dull too fast.

The app sends plenty of bad grammar and pop-over ads your way while you're trying to work. The editing canvas itself provides plenty of room and features for you to make edits. While Photo Wonder … Read more

When putting your phone into your pocket, you can accidentally activate the camera on the lock screen. This will run down your battery and can heat up the phone, especially if the flash happens to be on. For any Jelly Bean user with these reoccurring issues, Lockscreen Policy comes to the rescue.

Since Lockscreen Policy is a simple and light program, it downloads instantly. The user interface is virtually nonexistent, as the program runs in the background. The application simply adds an extra option in the settings menu to disable the camera application and widgets from the lock screen. This … Read more

The iPad is a perfect device for taking and sharing notes. There are dozens of apps available that provide this exact functionality, so ClassMateLite is only one of many options in a very crowded field. This is partially what makes it so hard to recommend the app as a viable solution for note taking. The app is designed to look and feel like a notebook, but the actual interface consists almost entirely of large, often stretched buttons, an awkward text input and blocky instructions.

While the app has only a handful of features, it took us some time to find … Read more

Taking its cue from those arcade video games from the '80s and '90s, Third Blade modernizes the approach for the App Store audience to great effect. Built on classic mechanics and featuring plenty of weapon upgrades, enemy stomping and combos, Third Blade is both intrinsically pleasing as far as game design goes and slightly frustrating due to its still-not-updated graphics, suspect Free/Paid model and garbled story.

The game is simple enough. Cut scenes feature animated characters decked out in weaponry traversing the world, fighting off worm-like creatures. The game itself is a classic side-scrolling beat-em up. You tap the … Read more

Although it's possible, configuring daemon by editing its PLIST file can seem obscure, and reading all the documentation can by overwhelming. To save you the trouble, LaunchControl for Mac lets you access all the documented p-list keys and apply them with relative ease. All the rules come with a clear explanation of their effect and expected values.

With LaunchControl for Mac you can use either an abstracted, more graphical interface or toggle on the expert mode, which will then let you see a more familiar PLIST editor to directly edit values for each item. The selected action will then … Read more

People who are disappointed in the Google Maps Internet interface might want alternatives for viewing maps online. eMaps for Mac allows you to operate a different interface, although the lack of any additional features ultimately makes the program unnecessary.

Available as a free trial version, there is an option to buy eMaps for Mac for $10. The trial version had no noticeable limits. The program's small size led to a quick download and, while there was no native installer, it did initiate and start quickly. There were no instructions or support readily apparent. The interface has an intuitive design … Read more

A camera integrated with the iPhone makes it a perfect tool for facial recognition and analysis tools, and as the power of the iPhone's camera has increased, so, too, have the number of functions available. Face Analyzer is an app that claims to offer a basic analysis of a child's face when his or her picture is taken with the iPhone's built-in camera. The setup and use of the app is fairly straightforward, but the actual purpose and presentation of results can be confusing based on the initial description of the app.

To start, analysis takes some … Read more

Contrary to what the name implies, this game isn't a side-scrolling running game. Instead, you'll take control of Pomo, a supersmart puppy who is trying to return a lost compass to his owner. Puppy Run is a pretty easy puzzle game, but its cute graphics and loads of levels should be enough to keep a lot of players happy.

The paid version of the game offers 100 levels. There is a free version with significantly fewer levels, but all of the fun and no ads. In Puppy Run, you'll use and sometimes dodge obstacles to help you … Read more
