Pounce takes the solitary out of Solitaire, according to its developer, Double Apps . It’s a multiplayer card game that goes by many different names including Nertz, Canfield, Blitz, Grouch, Peanuts  and Nerf.

Transylvania Adventure is Ideal iPhone Adaptation of a Classic

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

If you missed last year’s Halloween special when Transylvania Adventure was offered for free, fear not – the game is still available for a mere $0.99, which in the App Store is the next best thing. For those who remember Transylvania from years gone by, Transylvania Adventure is the iPhone adaptation made possible by RetroVenture in collaboration with Antonio Antiochia, the original author, and Kenneth Roe. The adaptation is superb, melding the retro look and feel with the user-friendly iPhone interface. Those who are too young to remember the early computer game as it was, Transylvania Adventure is an old-school text adventure with retro graphics and provides a nice break from modern games. Using simple text commands to elicit actions, players navigate an eerie landscape in search of the Princess Sabrina. Meeting with foes of the supernatural variety, including a werewolf, vampire, and goblin, you’ll need to decide which way to go, what to explore, and when to run away. You’ve only got until dawn and you must be wary of the werewolf.(…) Read the rest of Transylvania Adventure is Ideal iPhone Adaptation of a Classic © AppCraver , 2010. | Transylvania Adventure is Ideal iPhone Adaptation of a Classic | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

Dreamwalk is a Bargain Hunter’s Dream

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Just released this week, Dreamwalk is touted as “ the mobile treasure hunt ” and in essence, that’s pretty much what it is. It sort of equates to commercialized geocaching, but it’s really a pretty simple concept. Dreamwalk uses GPS technology to show users where prizes, or “treasure,” is waiting to be discovered. If you decide you want to don your pirate hat and go in search of said treasure, you can use your iPhone as the treasure map and claim a prize of your own. A first of its kind, Dreamwalk has the potential to revolutionize mobile marketing while giving bargain hunters and freebie lovers a whole new experience. If you’re wondering where the prizes come from, they are supplied by the various participating businesses. The current estimate of available prizes is a couple of thousand across the US, ranging from free fries and coffee to video cameras and a Nintendo Wii. Still in its early stages, developers at Dreamwalk Pty. Ltd. are setting the stage for more and more businesses to get involved and grow the number of available prizes. This particular feat shouldn’t be difficult to accomplish given that businesses can quickly upload prizes to Dreamwalk’s global map through the Dreamwalk website , and offering something for nothing is a great way to get customers in the door.(…) Read the rest of Dreamwalk is a Bargain Hunter’s Dream © AppCraver , 2010. | Dreamwalk is a Bargain Hunter’s Dream | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

Strategic Board Game Lovers Unite! Boardz is Online Play

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Boardz is an iPhone app that contains four classic two-player strategic board games – Chess, Go, Shogi, and XiangQi. It is designed to work over a network connection and seeks out other players as opponents. If you’ve tried Chess With Friends, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how Boardz plays out. Being a game that supports online play, always a bonus in my book, Snarl Software’s Boardz is an app to watch. Working in its favor is the graphical design. Each board game and relevant game pieces are well designed and display decently on the screen, which in reality is only a fraction of the size of an original board. Sometimes shrunken down board games simply don’t look right or feel right, but the games in Boardz are authentic enough. With primarily tap to move control, taking your turn is simple and straightforward and with a back button included, undoing a move before submitting it is simple enough too. Setting up a user account is fast and easy and you can begin searching for matches in mere minutes.(…) Read the rest of Strategic Board Game Lovers Unite!

Manage Voice Memos with Smart Recorder

Monday, March 1st, 2010

If the native Voice Memos app doesn’t have enough features to satisfy your recording needs, then Smart Recorder may be a good option. There is greater depth, editing options, and a pretty cool method for transferring your recordings to a computer via a Wi-Fi network. Like Night Recorder , Smart Recorder has a long list of features that makes it far easier to save and share recordings. To create a new recording, simply create a new session and hit the record button. If you stop it too early you can append the audio with additional voice data. Each recording can be renamed, tagged, and identified by a photo. There are also buttons for skipping through the recordings quickly and speeding or slowing down the rate of playback.(…) Read the rest of Manage Voice Memos with Smart Recorder © AppCraver , 2010. | Manage Voice Memos with Smart Recorder | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !
