Dots is a very attractive and ultimately fun twist on the classic Match 3 genre of mobile games. Using familiar tropes such as the 60-second time limit, high score tracking, and multicolor game board, it's immediately accessible, but just different enough to be engaging beyond the initial playthrough.

As expected, Dots places dots onscreen in a number of colors. You have to drag your finger across them in order to take them off the screen. The five-second tutorial covers this nicely and prepares you for the 60-second high score run. Try to match as many adjacent dots as you … Read more

Supiki English Conversation is a smartly-designed and expertly-crafted app that combines game-like elements with the conversational tools of the iPhone to teach English. The app works very well in many situations, but is often limited by the steep price of upgrades and the lack of control over which lessons you can use. For those that fully invest in Supiki, it offers many fun surprises that dabblers may not have the chance to experience.

When you start using Supiki, you can access a handful of lessons for free. Other lessons will unlock as you complete the initial ones, but because of … Read more

WiFi Photo Transfer makes the process of moving images between iPhone and desktop as easy as a few quick clicks, streamlining a once-frustrating process. For whatever reason, moving images between an iOS device and your computer has long been an unnecessarily complicated process. For those with a Mac it was okay, but for PC-users, in iTunes, it required a third-party software or direct transfer of the images. WiFi Photo Transfer removes that extra layer of difficulty and allows you to move photos with a few, easy-to-follow steps.

WiFi Photo Transfer makes it possible to bypass transfer issues and simply access … Read more

Wunderlist is a fantastic example of streamlined, intuitive design being used to provide a powerful, feature-rich experience for productivity junkies. While other GTD and list-keeping apps can cost a small fortune for iOS, Wunderlist is free. Despite that, it operates much like a paid app and works seamlessly on your device, Mac, or PC.

Wunderlist offers a number of features, but its core attraction is list creation. When it opens, you will need to register for an account or connect via Facebook. From there, you can start creating lists and on those lists you can create tasks. The pull-out side … Read more

Air Keyboard is a very useful app that can expand the functionality and control you have over your desktop or laptop computer with a few quick taps. It's not a perfect app, though. Setup can be a major headache and the performance can lag depending on the connection you have between phone and device; but when it is finally working properly, it's very handy.

After setting up Air Keyboard on both your phone and a desktop PC or Mac, you can turn both apps on and allow them to connect. This process can be finicky at times. There … Read more

There are so many photo editors out there for your iPhone that it's hard to keep up--and we've tested a lot of them. There are many that proved to be powerful tools for customizing your iPhone pics; however, there are just as many that have failed to impress us. Sadly, Pro Photo Layout is yet another photo editor that falls in the latter category.

We realize that many free apps come with strings attached in the form of ads, but while some publishers are able to design around ads so that they are unobtrusive, others don't and … Read more

Webcams are nothing new, but we were intrigued by the idea of one that delivers live video from our iPhone directly to the Web. Unfortunately, a poorly designed interface prevented us from fully experiencing Mini Webcam's potential.

Mini Webcam opened with a fairly straightforward display, at least at first glance. Your Webcam's name appears at the top and you have the option of changing it. In our case, it pulled our iPhone's name (which was our own) and displayed it. Swiping your finger pulls up the rest of the app's settings, which include adjusting the app'… Read more
