You can watch movies on your iPhone, so it only makes sense to be able to watch TV channels on it as well. SopCast Lite promises to deliver broadcast audio and video to your iOS device, and while we can certainly entertain ourselves for hours by watching strange television from abroad, SopCast Lite failed to let us add our own channels.

SopCast Lite opens with a list of channels to peruse, all of which come from Asian origins. We tapped the CtiNews channel from Taiwan to watch. It took a few seconds to load, but soon enough we were able … Read more

Once you open the application, you will be presented with a simple and well-designed interface. There are only three buttons on the main menu. The first button is labeled … Read more

Looking for more options regarding what you can listen to and watch on your Android phone? All Formats Player supports many different file extensions. However, it offers slightly buggy performance and it has access to your exact GPS location and phone calls though there's no real need for it.

All Formats Player offers a straightforward interface with four main links: Explore, Audio Files, Video Files, and Settings. It adds MP4, AVI, and other more obscure format support to your phone and lets you easily browse by file or by folder depending on how you organize them. When it comes … Read more

When it comes to iOS games, we tend to prefer the simple ones that require strategy, but with simple gameplay. After a quick read-through of Airport Scanner's description, we jumped at the chance to review it because of its simple premise: As a TSA officer, you have to watch an X-ray scanner to identify harmful items and prevent them from being taken onto the plane. But a cluttered design and barrage of pop-up tips and lessons made the game more annoying than fun to play.

Airport Scanner doesn't have any kind of Help feature, but, thankfully, the game … Read more

Simple, slightly addictive, and quite competitive, this app reminded us of Pong, the game that revolutionized arcade gaming in the early 1970s. Even though Air Hockey Deluxe resembles Pong in style of gameplay and is in general quite fun, it shows some imperfections that could easily be fixed by the developer.

Interface of Air Hockey Deluxe offers no advanced options or specific game settings. It simply provides you with one-player and two-player options. The one-player option will put you against an AI, while the two-player option lets both players play on the same screen. The controls of the game don'… Read more

Emoticons make using punctuation marks so yesterday. To really show your friends how you're feeling, you need full-color smileys. You're sure to find a smiley face to fit your mood with Emoji 2 Free, but whether it'll actually make it to your recipient is another story.

We realize that Emoji 2 Free is a free app, but the barrage of ads for other apps was a little much. We're talking pop-ups, banner ads, and full-page ads that take over your entire screen; it wouldn't be difficult to accidentally tap one of them while browsing for … Read more

Zombies are the craze now in television shows and movies, so why not game apps? Running Dead lets you battle the undead on your iPhone. Its sharp graphics and fun gameplay will make it an enjoyable addition to your game library.

Before getting started, you'll have to create a username and set your privacy options (we turned our public profile off). You'll also have to choose which weapon you want from the armory and which character you want to be, though some weapons and characters require extra coins. The Options menu lets you select a game layout to … Read more

The zombie craze is everywhere: movies, television, and even large-scale events. MakeMeZombie aims to bring the zombie fun to your Android device, but it could use a few more editing options.

MakeMeZombie is fundamentally a photo-editing app. Though its interface could be more straightforward, we found that the process was actually very simple after a bit of trial and error with the various buttons. You upload a picture from one of your galleries and mark the photo to identify the eyes of the person you want to apply the effects to. You can then apply various texture filters that provide … Read more

If you want to get more out of Instagram, the popular site for photo-sharing and socializing, InstaTalks adds the ability to chat live with other Instagram users. The only drawback is that it doesn't indicate whether your Instagram contacts have the program as well, which is required for you to chat with them.

You'll immediately feel at home with the interface of InstaTalks, which shares the blue-and-white theme of the Instagram site. Its clean, professional design make it easy to get started. While there weren't any unique features on offer, InstaTalks includes most of the typical chat … Read more
