Dailymotion Windows Review
Dailymotion Windows Review I’ve long wondered why YouTube doesn’t have some real competition.

However, as it stands, when you ask somebody about their favorite place to watch cat videos and clips from famous movies that […]
Subway Surfers Windows Review
Subway Surfers Windows Review Every time you look through an app store, it seems like a lot of the same old familiar faces pop up. You see all the classics such as Spotify, Angry Birds, and Snapchat.

Flixster Windows Review
Flixster Windows Review Movies are an incredible thing. They prove that, with a ton of money and some simple ideas, you can create some pretty entertaining content. However, I’m not very good at actually making it to the theatre. Maybe it’s because I just never had an app that showed me theatre times and locations. […]
2048! Windows Review
2048! Windows Review I can openly admit that I’ve never been all that good with numbers.

But what if they tried to make math fun? Well, […]
Crossy Heroes Windows Review
Crossy Heroes Windows Review Ever since the release of Crossy Road, it seems like everyone wants to create their own version of the game.

Apps Missing From The Windows Store
Apps Missing From The Windows Store I’ve written many articles about how Windows Phones have missed the boat when it comes to certain big name apps.

PacMaze Windows Review
PacMaze Windows Review A prevalent theme in my app reviews has been finding and calling out ripoffs.

Twitter Windows Review
Twitter Windows Review I still remember when Twitter was just getting big. It was some competition in the news with Ashton Kutcher to see who could get the most followers. Simpler times.

Netflix Windows Review
Netflix Windows Review Netflix is one of those things where the name is synonymous with something. Like how when you search something online you generally say you Google it.

Ice Hop Windows Review
Ice Hop Windows Review I feel like I’ve reviewed an inordinate amount of games involving penguins. There was that one game with the penguins in it. And the other game with the penguins in it. And that other one. The point is, I’ve done a lot of penguin-related reviews. All of this is to say […]
Zedge Windows Review

Vimeo Windows Review
Vimeo Windows Review When you think of free video streaming apps, what do you think of? And no, I’m not talking about Hulu. I don’t think they have anything for free anymore. Do they?

Steps Pedometer Windows Review
Steps Pedometer Windows Review Fitness seems to be all the rage these days.

How To Use Sticky Notes (Windows)
How To Use Sticky Notes (Windows) Note taking apps are a great way to stay productive on the go. Sure, it would be nice to play Angry Birds or Flappy Bird or Bird Birds on your phone while you’re on the bus, but why do that when you could be working? Everyone knows working is […]
How To Use Drum Set Pro (Windows)

Adventure Story Windows Review
How important is the name of something? Well, pretty important I must say. In the world of games, titles are meant to be informative ways off telling us a little bit about what the game will be about. For example, you can naturally assume that Crossy Road is about, well, crossing roads. And that Candy […]
AE City Jump Windows Review
I think we’ve all had dreams of jumping around from building to building. Maybe not even just jumping, but swinging. Almost as some kind of man….spider.

How To Use Evernote Windows

250k Timberman Windows Review
Ahh the life of a lumberjack. Growing a beard, wearing flannel, and harsh, taxing physical labor. OK maybe that last part doesn’t sound too great. But everything else would be fun. Plus those flannels look very comfy. Which would just make me want to nap all day. Anyways, haven’t you ever wanted to live that […]
250k Chefs Burger Windows Review
Who doesn’t love a good burger? I know this is a controversial point of view, but I’d honestly rather have a juicy cheeseburger than a prime cut of steak any day. (Please don’t form an angry mob. I don’t need another one of those.) In fact, I must say a nice double cheeseburger with some […]
Battletank.io Windows Review
Recently, I stumbled on and reviewed a game called Slither.io, a popular app along all formats.

Well, since that game […]
Angry Gran Run Windows Review
Endless runners are a popular genre for good reason. One of the main reasons is that there’s plenty of different chances for worlds to be explored and seen.

Alien Rain Windows Review
Many people ask if I believe in aliens. Well, not really, but just play along. Personally, I believe they do. But they look just like us, talk just like us, and have a society very similar to ours. Except they have gills. That’s pretty much it. Now is there any point to this opening other […]

Pokemon Go Should Come To Windows Phones
Pokemon Go. It’s the two words you’ve been hearing over and over since the game came out. It’s the game you’ve seen everybody play as they look at their phone while walking down the street. As opposed to all the other apps they used to use while walking down the street. However, the game has […]

No More YouTube App On Windows Phones?

WhatsApp Now On Windows Phones
WhatsApp Now On Windows Phones Once again, I’d like to take a moment to talk about major apps coming to Windows Phones. I’ve spoken in the past about how getting major apps such as Pokemon Go would be very beneficial to Windows in terms of switching over people from Android or iOS. But I won’t […]
Pics Art Windows Review
Photo apps have become immensely popular in the past few years. Perhaps it’s because the cameras on phones, along with photo sharing systems, have grown so much. Or it’s for other reasons. I’m not in the mood for researching app market analytics at the moment. While we all know the major photo applications such as […]
Beer Pong Champion Windows Review
Beer pong is a very strange game. You set up cheap plastic cups, fill them with beer (if you’re a younger reader pretend I said “milk”) and then throw ping pong balls in them. And, if you’re unlucky enough to be playing against somebody that’s good at it, you’ll end up drinking a nice mix […]

Crackle Windows Review
Streaming television services have gained plenty of popularity over the past few years.

My Piano Phone Windows Review
Musical mobile apps are a very fun thing to use. Well, they’re especially fun if you actually know how to play an instrument. However, they’re still pretty enjoyable to mess around with if you’re not a musical prodigy. Plus, didn’t that guy from the Gorillaz record an album totally on his phone using one of […]
Penguin Village Review
What is it that’s so likeable about penguins? Is it their basic adorable appearance? Is it the fact that they generally look huggable? Is it the fact that they know how to dance, as accurately portrayed in the documentary Happy Feet? I’d say yes to all of those. And that’s why we see so many […]
