Recently, I downloaded the free app Braineo by Veriunique Productions, Inc. It is a fun memory game. The object seemed simple enough: study the picture, answer the questions, and get points. However, I soon learned it was harder than I thought. The questions were rather specific such as, “What color was the largest light bulb?” [...]

I don’t review a lot of “lite” versions of apps, but I freakin’ love Family Guy so I had to try this one out!
Family Guy: Uncensored Free opens up with a little intro from Brian and Stewie where they call you a jerk for being too cheap to buy the full version and then encourage [...]

I really don’t like to slam free apps too hard, but it’s just gotta be said: Santa Lite is so bad it’ll make you hate Christmas!
The game comes with no instructions whatsoever, but you’re supposed to tap the gift icon to drop presents into the outstretched arms of children passing beneath the sleigh. By the time [...]

Sapus Tongue is a great example of how production values, accelerometer movement, and hilarious sound effects can make an otherwise idiotic game a lot of fun to play.
Your sole mission is to fling Sapus the frog or Monus the monkey as far as humanly possible. I dunno what these poor animals did to deserve such abuse, [...]

Don’t be fooled by Xmas Link Up’s bizarre app store icon! Why they’re using an emo version of McDonald’s Grimace to represent this app is beyond me, but it’s actually a pretty fun Christmas-themed game.
If you’ve ever played Fuzzle you already know what to do: line up at least four matching tiles to clear them from [...]

3D Fireworks is a pretty cool visual show that’s probably best suited for desk jockeys and frequent fliers on Air Bud. The bored office slave with a recharging cradle could let it run all day like a screensaver, and the bored stoner could just stare at it nonstop until the pizza guy finally shows up.
This app has [...]

When BarnacleJive Software asked me to review Marriage Calculator my first instinct was to respond with the letters L-O-L, but then I figured it would be a good excuse to call my recently-married friend in New York and grill him about marital details that are none of my damn business. I called him alright, but calculating [...]

iDream is the third… and hopefully the last… “sound machine” to get reviewed here. The other two are aSleep and Ambiance.
The best thing I can say about iDream is that it isn’t terrible! That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement, but the reality is that it does basically the same thing as aSleep and Ambiance but [...]

BiiBall 3D Lite is the free version of a pretty kickass 3D game. The object is to navigate your BiiBall through an obstacle course without touching the walls or hitting any obstacles. Movement is controlled entirely by tilting your iPhone this way and that, and you can also tap the screen to shoot obstacles out of the [...]

Dashbuster Free is the “lite” version of Seventy Nine Lines’ online rental queue manager. It works with both Netflix and Blockbuster Online, and since I only use Blockbuster that’s the only part of this app I’ll be able to talk about here.
Dashbuster Free is great if all you need to do is change the order of [...]

Most people have played games similar to PegJump either on the iPhone or on an actual piece of wood with golf tees stuck all over it… the idea is to clear a board (except for the last peg) by jumping other pegs out of existence.
Moopf took this simple concept and wrote an entirely new rulebook for [...]

I’ve played very briefly with a couple of other iPhone drawing apps and my best work could have been described as kindergarten finger paintings from hell. Granted, I’m not what you would call an “artist,” but I’ve worked professionally as a web designer and I think I’m fairly qualified in the area of graphics software. I haven’t given those other [...]
