App Review – Skirt Alert.

Today’s App Review is Skirt Alert by Wikibros. They say there is an App for everything but this one had me laughing so much. Crazy concept aside it is actually a really good idea. How many of us go out wearing skirts and end up freezing our aaaaaankles off? This App is the perfect solution…

Today’s App Review is Barefoot World Atlas by Touch Press. All I can say about this App is one word. WOW! Never have Atlases been so fun. I never had many happy memories about World Atlases and actually relied on the old computer game ‘Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago’ to get me around…

App Review – Flight Track Pro

Today’s App Review is Flight Track Pro by Mobiata. When taking a trip I always try to find the best deals and in many cases this results in connecting flights. There is nothing more scary than one flight being delayed and not knowing if you will make the next flight and that is the primary…

App Review – Dreamdays – Countdown to the days that matter.

Today’s App Review is Dreamdays by Yao Liu. We all have reminder Apps and calendars but it is hard to find a good countdown and I really like counting down to events. I usually just used browser based countdowns after trying and failing with some Apps but then I found Dreamdays. Dreamdays comes with some…
