For those who need a cheatsheet when contacting technical support, EtreCheck for Mac quickly creates a list of vital system information. It looks a bit dated, but couldn't be easier to use.

Clicking the downloaded file immediately opens EtreCheck for Mac. There did not appear to be any technical support or user manuals available, but the application's single feature and automatic operation made this unnecessary. The program, itself, is a basic menu with a dated appearance that creates a list of system information. This includes information on the operating system, processor, memory, and log-in items, among many others. … Read more

Eye Color Changer goes so much further than red eye removal to make your eyes look any color in the rainbow. Eye Color Changer's effect looks a little cartoony and bizarre at times, but that's probably the effect most people are going for.

This app's menu could use some major editing, itself--it's quite the eyesore. It houses eight buttons, but only two of them actually go to features in the app you really want to use. The rest beg you to rate the app and download more of the developer's apps. If you can find … Read more

If you just need to view (not edit) documents, Office Documents Viewer is a free download that lets you read just about any sort of Office file. It's ad-heavy, but it certainly works in a pinch.

The most prominent aspect of the reader is that it sticks animated ads in any file you try to read with it. They usually don't get in the way, but it's still annoying. Office Documents Viewer displays text and HTML files smoothly, but it has to convert other files before they show up. This can take a long time if the … Read more

Ruzzle Free features fast gameplay and includes integration with social networking platforms. This game is rather easy to play but was still challenging.

Ruzzle Free installs very quickly but does require registration to play the game. Users can register with one click via Facebook or they can enter their information, manually. If you take the route through Facebook, all your contacts will be added to the permission list. This game offers an easy-to-use interface. The main screen allows the user to start a new game, continue with old games, or view previous scores. When the user starts a new game … Read more

Brickbreaker-esque game Bubble Worlds will keep you busy through hundreds of levels, even though they all feel the same. Bubble Worlds is polished enough to win a few fans, but the difficultly level goes from zero to 60 too quickly. It's enough to turn a lot of gamers off.

In this game, you shoot bubbles to try to free trapped bananas. When you match three or more bubbles of the same color, they pop and send any connected bubbles flying. It sounds bizarre, but it's actually easy to figure out. You'll be able to breeze through most … Read more

One of the newest video creation, editing, and sharing apps is Directr, an app that takes the entire concept of mobile moviemaking to a different level--one that cinephiles will absolutely love.

The core interface of Directr is very similar to other photo and video sharing apps. You can connect with Facebook or create a new account, and the home screen shows all of your friends' movies, the community's movies and your sharing options. The big draw here, though, is the movie creation function. Tap the center button and you're given dozens of prebuilt storyboards that you can use … Read more

VideoUpLink for Mac helps users who take frequent videos for sharing with friends to quickly upload them. While it allows the user to save some steps required for this process, it is of little additional value.

VideoUpLink for Mac provides a free trial version, which restricts the uploads to personal Facebook pages. The unrestricted version costs $9.99. The program downloaded quickly and its installation was seamless. The application did have technical support available, and a basic Help menu provided initial user instructions. The main interface is sparse, but easy to navigate, with buttons on the top for uploading and … Read more

More people are moving a good percentage of their computing to mobile devices, yet there are very real limitations to what these devices can do. From downloading and saving files to uploading your files via standard forms, it is often more difficult to interact with Web sites on a phone or tablet than on a computer. That's where iUploader Free comes in.

iUploader Free is a proprietary Web browser that allows you to upload files to Web sites using standard upload buttons on those sites. By loading files into the iUploader folders, you can then upload those files--in whichever … Read more
