Review: Send stubborn malware, toolbars, and junk packing with FreeFixer

FreeFixer can fix problems other tools can't touch, but it can "fix" your system good and proper, if you don't know what you're doing. This powerful tool removes stuff. It can, and will, remove things your PC needs if you tell it to, so knowledge is key. Unless you're sure something needs to go, don't delete it. Instead, use the link to get more information online. FreeFixer automatically whitelists many safe items on its servers, but it can't tell a good program from a bad one, if it's not in the … Read more

Review: Fisheye Camera for Instagram offers that macro effect

You can get good, but not great, results with Fisheye Camera for Instagram, which suffers from some flaws that will make you think twice about its usefulness.

Though this application has Instagram in its name, it has no relation to this online photo sharing service. The only thing Instagram related is a button that allows you to share photos taken with this application via the Instagram app if you have it installed. When you open Fisheye Camera for Instagram, you'll notice it gives the super wide angle feel you'd get with a real fisheye lens. You can adjust … Read more

Thermometer 1.04 Review

Applications that function as simple tools are all over the market. Thermometer is a very basic application that allows the user to find out what the outside temperature is. While this may seem like an easy task, Thermometer fails to deliver a quality application worth downloading.

The application downloads and installs quite easily and doesn't occupy a huge amount of space on the device. It does seem that the program is rather large, however, considering its very basic functionality. Upon opening Thermometer the user is greeted with a blank white screen with very hard to read light gray lettering. … Read more

Vintage Camera 1.04 Review

There are thousands of camera applications available in the Play store that offer legitimate alternatives to the stock camera application. Vintage Camera, however, is not one of them. It proved easy to use, but produces low-quality images and has limited features. Most users may find this application amusing at first but this isn't really an app with staying power.

The installation runs easily and the overall operation of the application is intuitive. While the user interface is simple, it lacks many features. The main screen consists of a viewfinder and a scrolling menu for the various effects. Eight different … Read more

Enjoy fast gameplay and compete with your friends with Stick Run

The running-game genre has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. These action games are typically fun, fast-paced, and great for mobile devices because they do not usually occupy very much memory. Stick Run is a great and unique example.

Stick Run loads and installs very quickly. The attractive, stylized graphics are simple yet appropriate for the game. Colors are vibrant and the contrast is great, making everything easy to see. The controls are easy to use and are very … Read more

Zombies are for blasting on the Zombie Frontier

The premise of Zombie Frontier is no mystery: Search-and-destroy missions aimed at greasing as many zombies as you can before you run out of ammo and are eaten (don't let that happen). The walking dead deserve no mercy, so you don't need to show them any by letting them off the hook when you're away from your screen. Feelingtouch's free Android app lets you waste time and zombies simultaneously from anywhere you and your phone happen to find yourselves.

Zombie Frontier starts out as any good shooter should, at the Weapons Store. Beginners get a M92F … Read more

Max your memory

MaxMem from AnalogX is a simple program that maximizes the amount of physical memory available to your system at any given moment. You configure how much memory you want available under certain circumstances, and MaxMem will passively monitor your system's resources, freeing up memory as needed.

When it's running, MaxMem lives in the System Tray; right-clicking its icon calls up a menu with selections for configuring and running the program. We clicked Config, and the Configure dialog appeared. It has sliders for MaxMem's three memory-freeing functions, each of which accurately describes its behavior, too: Minimum, Periodic, and … Read more

Simple screenshots

There is a plethora of screen capture utilities out there, and there's only so much these programs can do to differentiate themselves from one another. Moo0 ScreenShot is one more among many, neither particularly impressive nor disappointing. If you're looking for a basic screenshot program, it's certainly worth checking out.

The program's interface is plain and intuitive, with a drop-down menu that allows you to choose whether you want to save your screenshot as a JPeG, BMP, GIF, PNG, or ICO file. You select the location where you want to save the captured image and then … Read more

Fails to impress

This very basic alarm clock claims to offer users a little extra jolt to wake them up in the morning. After putting it to the test, we were left still snoozing at its performance.

Get Up offers an extremely plain and, thanks to a few spelling errors, unprofessionally designed user interface. You have to input the day, month, and year to set the alarm, along with the specific time, which is in military style. There aren't any options to set the alarm for multiple days; you can only set it for one day at a time. You also won'… Read more
