Display Recorder

Display Recorder lets you make actual video & audio recordings of what is happening on your device's screen, much like pressing the home and on/off buttons make a screenshot - a picture of what is happening on your screen. Before this app, the only way to do a screen recording was if you had a jailbroken device. Although the app does acceptable recordings of apps such as Safari, Mail, Maps etc., it does not work with most games, such as Angry Birds, Doodle Jump etc. It's FPS (Frames Per Second) rate is also low, at around 5 FPS. The app can also record audio while recording the screen, however if you open an app such as Music, and play a song, the audio will be cut out and the recording will be just of the screen. I think that the good features of the app ultimately outweigh the features lacking, especially considering that this is a brand-new feature for non-jailbroken iOS devices. The app is in it's 1.0.0 version, and is available from the App Store for $1.99.

Temple Run: Brave

Recently, Disney and Imangi released a game based off of Temple Run, one of the most popular games for iOS, and a highly-anticipated movie from Disney entitled 'Brave'. Gameplay is exactly like the of the original Temple Run, with the added feature to shoot targets on either side of the screen with arrows. Doing this will give you an extra coin bonus, which you can spend in the in-game store, to buy power-ups, different outfits for your character, and other upgrades. The game, in it's current 1.0 version, can lag a lot and run slowly, but this will very likely be improved in a future update. Temple Run: Brave is available for all iOS devices on the App Store for 99. cents. Personally, I prefer the original Temple Run over the game's successor, however it is fun to have different obstacles and scenery, as well as a new character, for a change.

Snoopy's Street Fair!

This has got to be the app that I use and love the most! Snoopy's Street Fair is a game where you own a fair that has all of the peanuts gang in it, including favorites like Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Pigpen, Lucy, and of course Snoopy and Woodstock! You can purchase stands and games for your fair that are run by different characters. Charlie Brown wanders around the fair talking to you and the others, while you can call on Snoopy to do things like collect eggs in an Easter egg hunt, clear leaf piles, or play games that can earn you xp which will get you to the next level! Every time you level up you unlock new things that you can buy. There are so many things that you can do, that I can't even begin to describe it all! This app if available for free on the app store, but there are some in app purchases that you can make to get special items. If you are a fan of Snoopy and the rest of the peanuts gang, then you will absolutely love this app! You can also collect comic strips and trading cards about the peanuts gang! Post in the comments if you get this, and I will be happy to add you as a friend.

Request a Review!

Is there an app that you want us to try out and review? Let us know! Just post the app's full name and price. We will review it, as long as its not extremely expensive. Thanks! :D

100 Floors

100 Floors is a puzzle/problem-solving game, where the object of the game is to advance past as many "floors" as possible. There are many things that you may do in each of the floors to advance, including tilting your device, tapping on-screen, and using the volume buttons. If you have played the game 'Doors', you will find many similarities between the two games, which are both free from the App Store.

Tilt to Live

I absolutely love this app! It is an addicting game that is available on all the apple devices. Tilt to Live is a game where you are a cursor, and there are lots of little red dots that chase you. If one touches you, then it's game over. You can destroy these dots in many different ways, including freezing them, exploding them, electrocuting them, shooting them, and burning them! There are many other weapons that can be unlocked as you advance in the game. The game had 5 different modes of play, which are classic, code red, gauntlet, frostbite, and viva la turret! Classic is the easiest one, in which you have to destroy the dots and survive as long as possible. In code red, it is exactly like classic but it is much harder. Gauntlet is a challenging obstacle of red dots in which you have to get through without touching any of them. Frostbite is when frozen dots fall down from the top of the screen and you must destroy them with fire before they get to the bottom. If they do, they will thaw out and come after you! Finally, there's viva la turret: my favorite. In this mode the only weapon you have is a turret, and you must shoot dots as they come near you. As you shoot more, your multiplier goes up and you get more points! This app is compatible with game center and has its own leader board, so you can challenge your friends to beat your high score! This app is available for $2.99 on the apple app store. It's a little pricey, but I assure you it is well worth the fun you will have. If you get it, tell us your high score in the comments section!

System Monitor with Battery Max

This app is quite useful to me. I use it often because it shows many different things about your iPhone, iPod, or iPad that you might not have known. One thing is that it shows the total data storage used up on your device. Another thing it shows is the current battery level and how long it will take to recharge your device. There are a few other things it shows, but the most important one is how much your device is slowed down by apps running in the background. There is a certain amount of space that is used on your device for the background apps, and the more that is used, the slower the device will run. The line will move into the different colors depending on how slow your device is running. As you see in the pictures, my bar was in the red because I had a lot of background apps running. I closed some of them and the bar went to yellow and eventually to green. My device ran a little faster after that! If your device is slow and you want to see what apps are slowing you down, then this app is for you! It is available on the app store for $0.99, and it has also been featured on the app called app trailers.
