Review: iCarousel places thousands of images at your fingertips

iCarousel offers a quick, intuitive image search tool for your iPhone that takes only moments to set up and that works instantly for any search. The interface is designed to resemble the carousel-style sliders in iOS, but ironically loads and moves faster than most of the apps Apple integrates this feature into. The result is a fun-to-use app that has a number of instantly accessible uses.

iCarousel is a relatively feature-bare app. When it opens, select your search term and hit the button to populate a carousel of images. It takes only a second or so for the carousel to … Read more

Review: PhotoTribe creates a shared photo network with intuitive controls

PhotoTribe creates a personalized network of individuals with whom you can share photos and videos from your mobile device, all of it done very smoothly. While other apps allow you to share images and videos easily, few offer the kind of security and personalization that PhotoTribe does. While it is necessary for every member of the Tribe to have a PhotoTribe membership, the benefits are numerous.

The first step in using PhotoTribe is to create your account--you can either sign up directly or log in with Facebook. From there, you can create a new Tribe, decide who can add people … Read more

Review: Internet Designer is a stylish app, but won't replace other calendars

Interior Designer offers a solid project management solution for businesses involved in interior design that also looks great. It lets you color code different employees and contractors and connect with your customers. However, it doesn't completely outdo other popular calendars in regards to general features.

This download sports a very modern layout that lets you manage multiple employees and tasks at once. The only way to organize them is with color-coding; you can't overlay multiple calendars over each other. Only one person can manage the calendar, which is nice for oversight but makes multitasking hard. Luckily, anyone can … Read more

Upon startup the user is prompted to enter the registration code, purchase the full version, or continue in demo mode. The layout is very straightforward, but has a quality feel to it.

Review: What's the Logo tests your pop culture and brand knowledge

What's the Logo asks you to identify one of dozens of different logos at a time, within a hangman-style interface. The game is fairly limited, but it is fun to play for anyone that enjoys testing their pop culture knowledge, and the relatively loose format for game progression makes skipping logos very easy. The result is a fun, but ultimately forgettable app with only limited appeal for long-term play.

What's the Logo has a very basic design, low-resolution graphics, and a mechanic that is too familiar. Where it makes up for all of this is with the sheer … Read more

Review: The Bible: Free Book for Kids presents Bible stories in a fun way

The Bible: Free Book for Kids is a good app, with solid production values and fun, colorful presentation of classic stories; but it is often bogged down by its trial limitations. With too many ads and upgrade buttons onscreen, combined with often confusing menus and options, it could easily become a frustrating experience for the young children it is designed to entertain.

The Bible: Free Book for Kids presents many major stories of the Bible in colorful, narrated, and animated vignettes that can be played, read aloud, or narrated by the app. This provides a number of ways by which … Read more

Review: Instapull takes images from Instagram to your iOS device

There are millions if not billions of photos on Instagram, and Instapull allows you to take any of them and store them on your iOS device, quickly and easily. The app has a very simple interface and while it takes a minute to set up and requires a connection to your Instagram account, it works very quickly to download your files off of the Web-based network to your device.

Whether you want an offline backup for your Instagram photos or would like to download images from someone you follow or whose pictures you enjoy seeing, Instapull is a decent app. … Read more

Review: 4Sync lets you store all of your files and music in its spacious cloud

4Sync offers more space and just as much style as most of the popular cloud-storage apps. It is a little costly to expand, but it's hard to beat 15GB of storage right out of the box. If nothing else, it's worth having around to keep a few dozen photos or CDs from clogging up your hard drive.

This app gives you a very beefy 15GB of storage, which is three times what Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud apps give you. It not only works on your computer, but on your tablet and smartphone, as well, thanks to … Read more

Review: Color SMS Text Message Friends adds highlights to your texts

Color SMS Text Message Friends lets you send texts in color, but your friends need to have the app installed, as well, in order to see the colorful messages. If you can convince your social circle to add it, then you might get a kick out of this application.

When you first start using Color SMS Text Message Friends, only a handful of its colors and about half of the available fonts are unlocked. If you want to use them all, you have to surrender a dollar. The app's layout is a little plain, but it does make inputting … Read more
