Lets Make a Burger!

The fine folks at G5 Entertainment have a trilogy of burger-making time-management games that I thought would be fun to review and contrast.  The series starts with Stand O’Food, continues with Stand O’Food 3 (free and full) and then adds Success Story.  The reason I list them in that or...

Virtual City Playground

In my last review for Virtual City 2, I mentioned that I was disappointed that their release of Virtual City Playground for the iPad had not been released for the Android.  Well, it seems that the incredibly awesome folks at G5  had a surprise in the works (just for me?) and have just released the [...

DeskSMS

DeskSMS is a utility application that I am absolutely in love with.  It allows you to send, receive, and reply to SMS messages in a number of ways from your computer.  The advantages to this are huge.  Is you work doesn’t allow you to “play with your phone” in the office, or if you...

SwiftKey 2

As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently upgraded to the Android platform.  There are a lot of reasons for the switch, but one reason was that I wanted a larger screen allowing for a larger keyboard.  When I first got my Android, I tried several. I still have four on my phone [...]

Theology

This is likely to be my last iPhone review since I upgraded to an Android phone a month or so ago.  I’ll be posting some thoughts and comparisons about that later, but thought it fortuitous that my last iPhone app review is for, perhaps, one of the very few apps that would tempt me to [...]

Go800

If you are like me, sometimes it is a whole lot easier to remember someone’s email address or Twitter ID than their phone number or, in some cases, even their name.  I know a Bill, for example, that has a very unique email address and when I see him, his online ID comes to me [...]

3D Twist and Match

3D Twist and Match is a $0.99 arcade game for those folks that are good at thinking in 3D space.  You know the ones I’m talking about.  It was those folks that got those wooden 3D puzzles for Christmas and thought someone must really love them instead of wondering what they had done to deserve...
