App Review: TweetBot

Published by on April 8th, 2012 | No Comments »


As you all know, I’m a huge addict to Twitter. Since I have purchased my iPhone 4S, I have become even more of an addict since I have the capabilities to Tweet a lot quicker, on the go. I’m always up for trying new Twitter clients since the official Twitter client for any iOS device is a bit lackluster.

I have tried multiple applications and I think I have finally found my favorite one. For $2.99, you can also experience this amazing application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Enjoy my overview of TweetBot. If you enjoyed this video, please Like and Subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

App Review: Draw Something

Published by on March 20th, 2012 | No Comments »


Draw Something has easily become one of my favorite applications on an iOS device. It’s extremely fun and addictive. I’ve always been a fan of thinking games and this one tops them all. Since the release of Draw Something, it has landed the #1 spot for free apps, paid apps and #1 word game in over 80 countries. If you ask me, that’s a pretty big achievement. To summarize Draw Something in one word, Pictionary.

Below are the “Addictive Features” as stated on the description of the App Store.

  • Play with Friends on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch!
  • No Drawing Skills Required!
  • Color Craze – Over 50 Vibrant Colors!
  • Turn-based Gameplay
  • Leaderboard
  • Bombs
  • Push Notifications
  • Much more…

I would highly recommend this application to anyone with an iOS device. I believe you are also able to download this application on an Android device. If you are interested in starting a game with me, my username is TechJohnson.

App Review: Temple Run

Published by on January 22nd, 2012 | No Comments »


Temple Run is an amazing endless running game. Simple put, it’s a game that you have to run away from apes, avoid obstacles and see how long you last. It never ends so the length of the game is endless. The graphics on this app are mind-blowing. The best part about this application is that it’s free! I highly recommend it! 5/5 starts…that’s perfect.

The following is from Apples App Store for their description:

FEATURES

★ Simple swipe and tilt controls that are easy to use and just feel right
★ Level up your character and use crazy powerups
★ Original 3D running mechanic combining turning, jumping, sliding and tilting – the first of its kind!
★ Play as 7 different characters!
★ Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements to compete with your friends
★ Incredibly fun, just one more time, endless game play!

Bejeweled Blitz App Review

Published by on January 10th, 2012 | No Comments »

Bejeweled Blitz is a fast passed puzzle/thinking game that is based around the original Bejeweled. See if you can beat your high score or your friends high school in under 60 seconds. Bejeweled Blitz is a very addicting game that is free in the app store.

I found myself addicted to this game for over 3 hours in one sit down.  Talk about completely zoning in on a game.

Drag Racing App Review

Published by on November 2nd, 2011 | No Comments »

If you like cars and racing and you have an iOS device, you will fall in love with this addicting racing game called Drag Racing. It’s a free application that you will literally play for hours on end. You can spend money to remove the ads and get more RP points but it’s not a big deal. If you can race well then your RP points will go up. For those of you who get annoyed with ads, it’s only $0.99 to remove them.

The graphics are absolutely stunning for an iOS game and the game play is phenomenal. I would have to give this a perfect 5/5 stars! Highly recommended and great for all ages.

Brain Fit Application Review

Published by on September 13th, 2011 | No Comments »


Brain Fit is a very addicting iOS application that makes you think. The basic premise of the game is to get shapes into a rectangle in the highlighted section of the map. It sounds really simple but once you get farther into the game, things get difficult! Have a blast while you pull your hair out of your head thinking of the best solution to the puzzle. I hope you like puzzle games!

Facebook Messenger App Review

Published by on August 17th, 2011 | No Comments »

Facebook has released an application that MAY actually compete with BBM and Android texting. With this application kill texting all together? It’s a possibility but not likely.

Facebook’s Messenger Application allows you to simply chat with friends on Facebook and even friends from you contact list (I believe). It doesn’t stop there, you can also send photo’s through this service. Don’t believe me? Try it out for yourself. The application is free. All chats should be in real time, in theory. If not, the easy use of iOS lets you refresh.

Tour of a Geeks iPod: Summer 2011

Published by on August 16th, 2011 | No Comments »


I stole this idea from David Di Franco when he did a “Tour of a Geeks iPad”. You can find this video at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/3fslack

Instead of completely stealing his idea with the iPad, I’ll start it up with my iPod Touch. The main reason is because I don’t own an iPad, yet :(

I hope to do this every season so expect more videos like this. Enjoy the video and if you have any questions about an application, don’t hesitate to ask!
