Primrose Bakery ★★★★☆ ($3.99 / App Store) for the iPhone is a cupcake specialty cook book app. Recipes are straight from the actual world famous Primrose Bakery cupcake shop located in London. The app shows in a very beautiful pastel colored user interface with delicious picture how to bake 70 cupcakes, layer cakes and other similar sinful desserts. The clever utilization of the proximity meter of the iPhone allows for touchless page turning while cooking by a simply wave of the hand. This is the ultimate cupcake app for anyone with the only thing keeping it from a 5 star app is the lack of U.S. conversions, nothing an update can’t fix - which has been promised by the developer.
Pocket Body: Musculoskeletal ★★★★☆ ($29.99 / App Store) for the iPad is an interactive atlas of the human anatomy. This medical and reference app is an anatomically accurate human character with nine layers of musculoskeletal, neurovascular, and internal organ graphics in great visual quality along with details of each part. An exceptional buy if you’re a medical professional, student or just interested in the human body in a very specific and thorough way. Pocket Body: Musculoskeletal is the closest thing to a cadaver you can get without actually having a dead body, or the mess.
Super Crossfire HD ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a high-octane top down shooter with a twist. Combining an already great retro game to modern graphics and gameplay, Super Crossfire is one of the most intense and addictive space shooters on the iOS. The spectacular and explosive visuals mixed with the uptempo electronic music and crushing sound effects makes this seemingly simple game into a sophisticated yet easy to get into game. There is also an engaging upgrade system, excellent replay value and the unique vertical warping to make Super Crossfire a must have iOS game.
Call of Mini: Double Shot ★☆☆☆☆ ($1.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a top down dual joystick co-op zombie shooter game. On the surface and at first glance this is a pretty nice game. But after a closer look you will realize this is a shallow, extremely repetitive and greedy game. The cute and nice graphics with a fairly robust upgrade system (of which will cost you real money to fully upgrade) is not enough to warrant a purchase on this game. The game play works great but each level is literally the same as the last with the only difference being more baddies. Even though this is a paid app, there are ads specifically placed in places by the navigation buttons so you can click it by accident and much of the game can not be completed without actually spending real money. This is one of the worst examples of a greedy developer. Shame on you Triniti.
Agenda ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a minimal and gesture heavy calendar app. Connected to the iOS’s built in calendar, Agenda is stripped of all unnecessary elements without losing functionality. The end result is a beautiful and highly accessible calendar with a very intuitive gesturing system maximize speed. Similar to Calvetica, this app focuses on minimalistic design, clean simplicity and ease of use with great results. If the built in calendar app is not good enough for you, Agenda is definitely one of the best ones in the App Store.
Vegas Mate ★★★☆☆ ($1.99 / App Store) for the iPhone is a Las Vegas tourist guide. Despite the ugly and outdated user interface, the amount of hotels, casinos, restaurants, shows and nightclubs with extensive details makes up for that. Vegas Mate has user reviews of all the events and venues from real people, photos (not professional) and a map system that will come in very handy. For a “Vegas” app, you would expect a lot of flash but its still worth it for the usable information it contains.
