Living Earth HD
Living Earth HD is an absolutely stunning app to use. It’s universal so one purchase will get you a copy for your iPhone and iPad. It has 3 main features: World Clock, Alarm and Weather. What set’s it apart from other Weather, Clock apps though is the “Living Earth”. When launching you are presented with a 3D rotating earth not only does this show global coverage but also accurately shows where in the world it’s night-time and daylight. You can also manually rotate the Earth around or select one of your pre defined locations to instantly go there and get access to the current Weather,...
oneSafe
oneSafe is a universal app for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad etc. It promises to keep your private information safe using 256 bit AES encryption. oneSafe is competing in an already overcrowded niche app market against some real heavyweights such as 1Password/LastPass/SplashID and many others etc. When you first launch oneSafe you are offered to set up a pass code. I like how this is presented with various methods to choose from including a pin code to a unique swipe gesture. And if one method isn’t enough you can opt to have two login methods before anyone can get in. Where oneSafe differentiates itself from its main competition is...
Agenda Calendar
Agenda Calendar 2.0 has just been released and with it brings a universal iOS app compatible with both iPhone and iPad’s. Agenda is a beautifully hand crafted calendar app. The app focuses on keeping it simple whilst managing to execute the balance of form and function extremely well. If you just want a simple way to manage your events then Agenda has you covered. The layout is uncluttered and therefore really simple to follow. But if you need more advanced calendar management Agenda still has you covered with the ability to sync effortlessly with Google, Exchange and MobileMe calendars. One of the things I like...
Grazing – Web Browser
Grazing is a new universal web browsing app for iPad and iPhone’s. I haven’t tested it on the iPad yet so this review will be focused on the iPhone v2 of Grazing. When I heard about grazing I was intrigued. You have to be confident in your product to go up against a native app such as Safari and most browsers I have tested have failed to live up to or provide a better experience than Safari for iPhone/iPad. Grazing is about the closest to a full web browser experience I have come across in any browser app to date. That in itself is quite...
360 Browser
360 Browser is a universal iOS app for iPhone, iPod TOuch and iPad’s. I personally find safari on iPhone more than adequate for my browsing needs however 360 browser does offer a lot of additional useful features such as tabbed browsing, firefox sync, download manager, ad block and many others. The interface isn’t bad at all though it does have some quirks, and with the huge amount of additional features packed in the browser involves some what of a learning curve to get the most out of. Which is fine as this browser is clearly geared towards power users who want more than just basic...
Night Stand HD
I will probably get boo’d and hiss’d for this but I have a hard time trusting my iPhone and the various clock/alarm apps I have in waking me up. Having owned Nokias for years users will know the alarm just works. Even if you turned the phone off the alarm still worked. The same can’t be said for the iPhone and the various clock/alarm apps. I have tried many and only return to one that is Night Stand HD, so far it’s the most accurate and hasn’t yet let me down. It has the best looking interface without being a chore to navigate, multiple and...
Download Meter
Download meter offers advanced monitoring of WiFi and GPRS/3G usage. If you want to keep track of your usage and need more than the basic usage counter included in the iPhone then Download Meter is the app for you. One of the most common questions we get asked is how to monitor data usage to avoid being overcharged and until now we haven’t had the answer enter Download Meter. The options are pretty self explanatory but includes a well written tutorial that cover the basic and advanced features should you need any guidance. The first screen offers a quick overview of your GPRS/3G usage in...
EcoCense
With the costs of running and maintaining a car continuing to grow it’s no wonder so many people are ditching gas guzzlers for smaller more efficient vehicles or switching from petrol to diesel and in some cases even electric cars.
