There can’t be many users who haven’t given their iPad a whirl as an eBook reader, even if it’s only to enjoy Winnie-the-Pooh for free via iBooks; and we would imagine that the majority have found it to be a pleasant reading companion.  However, books on the iPad don’t begin and end with iBooks, as

myExpenses iPhone App Review – Casual Calculation

Monday, July 19, 2010

0 Comments

Using a budget calculator is probably a regular entry on New Year’s resolution lists, but if you’re anything like me, such a well-intentioned promise goes right out the window the minute you hit the sales.  Besides, updating a program like this on a desktop machine takes too much time/may intrude on those precious moments logging

Canoe Slalom App Review – It’s Splashing!

Thursday, July 8, 2010

Not being a canoeist, the first thing that springs to my mind when talking about the narrow single-person boat is Deliverance, a film rather oddly described by some canoeing sites as ‘the ultimate canoe adventure movie!’  Well, if that’s the way canoeists describe Deliverance, then I don’t think I’d fit in very well down at

We gave Qwak 5/5 when we reviewed it a while back and still play it religiously today, so we were keen to try out the newly released version 1.1 update.  It brings with it a tweaked difficulty level, a continue game option, a wealth of new control options and an autofire. While we never found the
