Review: 4Sync lets you store all of your files and music in its spacious cloud

4Sync offers more space and just as much style as most of the popular cloud-storage apps. It is a little costly to expand, but it's hard to beat 15GB of storage right out of the box. If nothing else, it's worth having around to keep a few dozen photos or CDs from clogging up your hard drive.

This app gives you a very beefy 15GB of storage, which is three times what Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud apps give you. It not only works on your computer, but on your tablet and smartphone, as well, thanks to … Read more

Review: B-Folders Secure Organizer encrypts your personal data

The app boasts some neat features, including the ability to take … Read more

Review: Rip DVDs to your hard drive for backup with Mp4DVD for Mac

Those with large DVD collections may want a program to back them up on their computer hard drives. If so, you'll pass on Mp4DVD for Mac, which didn't work well for us.

Available as freeware, Mp4DVD for Mac downloaded quickly and installation did not require any user interaction. It also didn't include any user instruction, and technical support did not appear to be available. Fortunately, the user interface was easy to use, albeit dated. The program asks the user to drag and drop a DVD icon into it for ripping. There are no options available for file … Read more

Harlem Shake Creator Lite 1.0.8.4 Review

Want to get in on the latest YouTube fad but don't have advanced editing skills? This fun app can help you create a Harlem Shake video in just a few minutes. Harlem Shake Creator Lite works surprisingly well compared to similar apps you'll find in the Play store. It's riddled with ads, though.

The app asks you to opt-in to an ad service that hits your phone with browser and status bar ads. You can opt out and still have the app's full functionality, though. There are obtrusive ads in the app itself, too. If you … Read more

Apathy's software is really about speed and productivity, not sloth.

Like Apathy's other not-so-apathetic wares, Quick Cliq is extremely lightweight and completely portable. Quick Cliq's design goal is to enhance your productivity by … Read more
