Absolutely the best app I have on my iPhone! This one can really save lives - truly a jewel in a sea of useless apps! Here you can find very easy-to-follow instructions how to protect yourself and your family from major disasters, as we've seen in Japan - that can struck anywhere! Highly recommended A+++++! And the support is just great, they're adding new content as I speak!

Love this app! Very nice graphics, great shooting and cocking style - just like real life! Definitely a highly recommended app - it's even FREE!

Love the simplicity, and the great, interesting facts included!

Dead Space

I confess that things have been hectic the past few days, so I have only played this briefly today...but I am thoroughly impressed by both the gameplay, controls and overall production. The game isn't without a few hiccups. The sound died on me for no apparent reason and at one point I was stuck and out of ammunition. Restarting to a previous checkpoint, I arrived there with all my weapons still on me...including one I hadn't discovered at that checkpoint previously. Perhaps the checkpoint is physical and not a jump back in time. Really loving the audio and support, so I can't wait to get back to it.

Infinity Blade

This is a superb release using the Unreal game engine and I'm amazed it runs so well on my iPhone 3GS. The game play and controls are great (I was worried it was going to be overly complex or involved a virtual game pad to move the character around) and for the most part, I'm not doing too badly in the fights. I do feel that more explanation on equipment, purchasing, moving up a level and what happens when you die could be provided...I'm mostly going along with the flow and buying when I think I need to, but I don't really know if I'm on the right track or not. A great balance of challenge and success also....I'm really enjoying the tough parts and the times I get to move on.

Firstly, I think having a support page that is on FaceBook is not a great idea for those of us that don't use FaceBook...yep, there's still some of us left! This is a great app (an unofficial app if you will) for accessing TradeMe, although I think the interface needs some cleaning up at times. The opening screen feels more web page than iPhone app. The buttons at the bottom of the screen don't always seem to get you back to where you want to go...or rather take you back to where you just were. This is a bug with my on iPhone app I it seems repeated here. The developer seems quite open about issues and what is coming next, so I think this is an app to keep an eye on...although, I can't wait for TradeMe to bring out their own official app!

VLC Media Player

I'm over the moon that the VLC player now works on the iPhone. It saves so much time that used to be spent converting files, such as AVI files, and transferring them to the iPhone. The VLC player is simple in its use but works superbly. It makes me wish that both iTunes and the iPhone played these files natively. To add files you simply select the VLC app in iTunes (with the iPhone selected) and drag and drop files into the documents area in iTunes. Files are then transferred immediately.

Cut the Rope

Yet another addictive app similar to the Angry Birds app. This game is superb and addictive and has sold millions on its first few days. The game centres around cutting ropes to get an object to an end point. It's difficult to describe, but well worth the $1.29

London Tube

You know you are getting old when you dig out your old, treasured "London A to Z" out of the bookcase for travel to the UK...and can't read the Tube station names on the back...so buying this app was the best thing I ever did. Not that I used many of the features of the app. This thing has features galore that I confess I didn't use...including the superb augmented reality feature, but this was due to the fact that I wasn't using 3G data on my phone. The "Boris Bikes" as they are known (bikes you can hire from racks all around London) are now also part of this app, so it's great to see that they are bringing in new features all the time. I also didn't pull live train or station reports in with the data disabled, so what I used was inbuilt from the get-go. I found I used the main map and the route planner the most. In virtually all situations it was perfect, although at the end of my time in London, I need to meet my lovely niece in Shepherd's Bush. Travelling from St John's Wood to there, it told me to go North and then change to an overland train, when in fact going South and then West on the Central Line was much easier....but either trip would have been about the same. Given the incredibly cheap price of this app, I have no doubt that many tourists and Londoners must be making use of it. I was very, very pleased and know I'll never live without it when travelling in London again.
