Review: Instashare streamlines moving files between iOS devices and your Mac

Instashare manages to stand out among the increasingly crowded number of file transfer and backup apps on the App Store. That alone makes it worth downloading for anyone with multiple iOS devices and desktop computers, but it also works seamlessly when sharing files with other users. While there are some hiccups in execution and we noticed some small performance issues, this is one of the better options currently available for what it does.

Instashare requires you to have the client installed on any device with which you want to share. However, unlike other clients, Instashare is designed to be integrated … Read more

Review: Dual Browser provides a unique dual-screen browsing experience

Dual Browser is designed to show two pages at once on your iPad's screen, a function that can be quite handy if you are filling forms or working on a Web site. On one hand, the interface is unique and intelligently designed; on the other hand the browser fails to provide some of the more robust features that iOS Web browsers have become well known for, weakening the overall experience.

Dual Browser opens, appropriately enough, in dual browsing mode. Both of the browsers onscreen (when in portrait mode) are a decent size, especially on a full-sized 9.7" … Read more

Review: TrashTimer automatically removes trashed items after designated time

TrashTimer for Mac adds to your privacy by automatically removing deleted content from the trash after a set period of time. This application offers a great amount of control over how and when the trash is deleted.

Review: Black & White Master easily customizes photos in black & white

Black & White Master takes one of the most frustrating components of photo editing on the iPhone and makes it as intuitive and easy to do as possible, using swipe and touch gestures built into the app's interface. It is not the best photo editing app on the App Store, but certainly a very fun one to use.

Black & White Master performs exactly as it sounds, allowing you to turn your photos into black & white images (or take new ones in black & white). When you open the app, you will select or take an image, and … Read more

Review: Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face is short on features

Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face lets you create funny videos by replacing or adding your own mouth and voice to pictures. The app was put on this earth to entertain and it succeeds; however, you're limited to only three pictures and certain features in the free version. To unlock the other faces and features, you'll have to pay.

Funny Movie Maker opens with three unlocked faces: a blonde who is missing a face, a strawberry with eyes, and a picture of Benjamin Franklin. Like we mentioned earlier, if you want to use another template, you'll … Read more

Review: Send texts with Hi SMS, an iPhone-style app

Hi SMS offers a nice skin for your texts, but it doesn't have many of the features you probably need from iPhone's app. It's a decent way to transition from it, though.

As you might have guessed, this app is designed to look exactly like iPhone's text-messaging inbox. There is one thing keeping it from doing that exactly--the ads. They're nowhere near as bad as some apps, but they wouldn't appear in an iPhone app. They tend to get in the way if you have a smaller phone, too. Since Hi SMS is only … Read more

Review: Round your screen's corners using Displaperture for Mac

Displaperture for Mac is supposed to bring back the look of older operating systems, but all it does is allow the viewing screen's corners to be rounded.

This small and rather basic application is free, which isn't surprising given its limited functionality. A small menu appears after startup that contains a picture of a Mac screen and a short explanation on how to use Displaperture for Mac. Check boxes allow the user to round any of the screen's corners. Removing or adding marks to the check boxes immediately removes or adds the edges. A slider allows changes … Read more

Review: Photo Talks adds bubbles to your photos

Adding text bubbles to a photograph usually involves an overly complicated editing program such as Adobe Photoshop, or at the very least, Paint. Thankfully, there are now a few applications that serve this specific function. Photo Talks is one of the better offerings on the market. It gives the user tons of options and allows them to customize pictures effectively.

Users will have no difficulties installing Photo Talks. It downloads quickly and is fairly light on the device's resources. The main screen opens very quickly and the program seems very stable. The user interface is well designed, featuring brightly … Read more

Review: Dragon City Mobile lets users build cities and hatch dragons

Combined with notifications and a powerful processor with online connectivity (meaning social sharing), games like Dragon City Mobile are ripe for explosive popularity.

Dragon City Mobile is one of the finer made city management games on the App Store. While not wholly different from many of its contemporaries, it is fun to play and incredibly deep in terms of content. The goal of the game is to generate resources, build habitats and buildings, and then hatch and grow dragons. Players must feed their dragons, which requires the creation of farms to grow food. Every resource in the game is limited … Read more
