Review: Seconds to New Year App

By on 12/17/2011 in Apps for iPad, cool ipad apps, Featured iPad app, iPad 2 Apps, iPad Apps, iPad Best Apps, new ipad apps

The holiday shopping is over at my house. We’re starting to relax and slide on into the string of U.S. holidays coming in the days ahead. Namely, Christmas Day and New Years Day. Joe Allen has developed a great New Years countdown app for iPad that he just released on December 15th. This iPad app is called Seconds to New Year. 

I don’t know about you but I pretty much take my iPad everywhere I go now. No really. For example, I went to the grocery store and used the free wifi to surf while shopping. At my son’s basketball games it’s with me in the bleachers. We’re going to a big neighborhood New Years eve party and I’m going to break out this seasonal iPad app to be the official time keeper to ring in the new year.

Review: Persuasion Game App

By on 08/12/2011 in Apps for iPad, Featured iPad app, iPad App, iPad Apps-Games

It is wonderful to see classic board games be redesigned into apps for iPad by iOS developers. We’ve discovered another one of these gems that was just released on the app store called Persuasion Game. The Persuasion Game is a universal app that is fun to play and that we found captivating from moment we tapped to open it on my iPad 2.
We don’t review a lot of game apps for iPad but found this one to be unlike anything we’ve seen in this app store category. The premise of the game is fun especially since it involves self-discovery, which if we’ll be honest, is a favorite human pursuit. The Persuasion Game app is simple to learn and even comes with a “how to play” tab on the opening screen of this universal app. (screenshots below the break)

Persuasion Game is played on a colorful Continue Reading →

By on 06/29/2011 in Apps for iPad, Best Apps for iPad, Best iPad 2 Apps, Best iPad Apps, Featured iPad app, iPad 2 Apps, iPad app-Social Networking, iPad Review, ipad tablet, new ipad apps, Top iPad Apps

Facebook on the iPad has not been the most innovative experience we had hoped for although we expect a new release soon. However, we’ve discovered a really cool iPad app that integrates with your Facebook profile called MyLine. MyLine pulls your entire Facebook timeline of your history and displays it on your iPad stylishly. Once you log into your Facebook account on MyLine you’ll immediately be dazzled by the elegance of this app by the Kopper Creative developers. The layout is visually pleasing and the navigation through all of your Facebook content works smoothly.
The app design allows you to quickly see your recent Facebook wall posts, status updates and photos which are stacked neatly on your iPad display. Browsing through your wall posts with a swipe is the way Facebook should be experienced. When I first bought the iPad i tried to do all of my everyday stuff on my iPad but eventually I just went back to using Facebook on my Macbook Pro. MyLine iPad app has renewed my excitement about using Facebook on the iPad again. With a tap and a swipe I can see my wall posts, status updates,events,check-in’s and leave comments all in a real-time viewing experience on MyLine. Continue Reading →

Review: Buncee Pro eCard and Greeting Card Creator

By on 06/23/2011 in Best iPad Apps, Featured iPad app, iPad 2 Apps, ipad 2 apps review, iPad Review, new ipad apps, Top iPad Apps

The touch interface with the iPad is changing how we work, play and connect with one another. My favorite iPad apps are the ones that inspire and energize me to create something. Buncee Pro is an iPad app that is all about expression and sharing. This iPad 2 app encourages you to express yourself using your personal photos, drawings and saved images by creating high quality eCards. This fun iPad 2 app has a giant library of backgrounds and clip-art ready made for you to easily lay the foundation for your eCard creations. Using all the tools included in this iPad app allows to create beautiful collages and greeting cards with photos from your image library. What I like best about this fun and creative iPad app is how easy it is to quickly produce your first eCard.

The Buncee Pro iPad app has 80 unique quality backgrounds and over 150 clip art choices for all your design needs. The first time we opened up this fun interactive iPad 2 app we enjoyed just exploring all the different backgrounds. In Buncee Pro you can also freehand draw using different pen sizes, opacity levels and there are 20 different color options. I also was impressed with how you can stylize your photos and edit them to look black and white or sepia toned. Buncee Pro for iPad takes advantage of the touch interface so that you can drag, pinch and zoom to rotate and resize your images with ease. We think you’ll really like your high resolution finished creations so much that you’ll share them with all your friends and family and even use them as your iPad wallpaper. You can also sign up for a free account at Buncee.com for additional tools and more personalized sharing options. Buncee Pro is available on the app store for .99 cents by clicking here.
