Review: Rage Face Photo animates your photos

Rage Face Photo allows the user to apply cartoon faces over a photograph to achieve an entertaining result. With very little drawbacks, this app delivers a fun, high-quality application at no cost to the user.

The only drawback to this application seems to be its bloated size. At almost 18MB it could take awhile on slower connections. The installation beyond the download is quite fast. Rage Face Photo opens quickly and doesn't seem to use a lot of resources. Once the clean and intuitive UI is opened, the user needs to select a photo they wish to edit. This … Read more

Review: Boulder Happy Hours alerts users to happy hours across the college town

Boulder Happy Hours is a very useful--though fairly rudimentary--app that alerts users to happy hours in their fair city. If you live anywhere near Boulder, it is definitely worth a download.

The Boulder Happy Hours app is designed to show the happy hour information for every bar and restaurant in the Boulder area. When you open it, you'll find three menus: one for featured happy hours (usually showing only one), one for every location in the database, and one to call a cab, which is a very nice addition for any app focused on drinking. For each location, you … Read more

Deca Color Sudoku 1.2.0.0 Review

Sudoku on its own is a very complex game. All but the most mathematically inclined put extensive mental energy forward to complete even moderate Sudoku puzzles. So the very concept of changing the game to use something other than numbers is enough to cross the eyes. But Deca Color Sudoku manages to do it right, presenting an engaging, mind-bending variation on the classic puzzler that works well.

The idea is very simple. Instead of nine numbers, Deca Color Sudoku uses nine colors. The same rules as traditional number-based Sudoku apply: match up the colors across all 18 rows and columns … Read more

Windows Controller does your windows, and much more, with hot keys

Windows Controller uses hot keys to control open windows on the desktop, but to describe it like that is sort of like calling Office an e-mail client or Photoshop a drawing tool. Like those other programs, Windows Controller does so much more than it seems at first blush. And, also like those other programs, Windows Controller is shareware, meaning you can try it for free (for 30 days) before buying it. Where Windows Controller breaks ranks with big-box (and big-bucks) programs like Photoshop or Office is in price; at $7.99 for the full version, Windows Controller costs about the … Read more

Play bare-bones, classic blackjack on your iPad

There is a wide range of gambling and card game apps on the App Store. While actual gambling is not permitted through apps, the scope of simulation varies substantially. Some are very complex with Game Center support and matching features while others are bare-bones, offering only a pure rendition of the original game. Such is the case with BlackJack for Millionaire. Upon starting the app, you will find no menus, only an option to start playing. Place your bet and your hand is dealt. You can then choose a new card, stand, double down, surrender or split. If you've … Read more

Stay focused with CinemaDrape

Today's desktops are as wide as the prairie, but nowhere near as lonesome. In fact, they can seem downright crowded, and never more so than when you're trying to concentrate on a particular window, such as an embedded video surrounded by flashing banner ads.

Hellogramming's CinemaDrape can help you with that. This simple portable freeware is sort of like a negative screen capture tool, but instead of copying the selected area of your screen, it blacks out all the rest, leaving only your Focus Area visible. If you like watching movies online but hate seeing the controls … Read more

Fire up a more social browsing experience with Torch Browser

An all-in-one Web browser is nothing to sneeze at, but Torch Browser isn't going to pry you away from Chrome or Firefox. While it has options that make sharing and social media a breeze, Torch Browser just isn't unique enough to win people's hearts. It lags in performance and its major features aren't worth making the switch.

Torch Browser tries to carve out its niche by being an all-in-one Web browser. This means it can be a media player, a torrent downloader, and a place to combine all of your social networks. However, it doesn't … Read more
