Touch Chaos – iPhone App Review
Touch Chaos – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Touch Chaos (0.99)
Version – 1.2
Review – “Find out just how fast your fingers can be!”
If you’re looking for a good way to get used to touching exactly
where you want to on your iPhone you may want to check out Touch Chaos. The basic idea is that you see randomly colored balls flying around the screen, and you have have to touch certain colors as quickly as possible. It may sound simple, but as you get further in, and the balls get more active it gets pretty crazy!
The main menu when you open up Touch Chaos is really simple. There are three buttons: Play, Scores, and Tutorial. The tutorial is just a text-based 
explanation of how to play the game. To be honest though most people wouldn’t even need it because the game itself is extremely simple.
Once you’re ready to get started just touch the “Play” button. You’ll be taken to a blank screen with 3 or 4 balls on it to start with. Around the edge of this screen there will be a border that is the color of one or more of the balls on the screen. Your objective is to touch all of the balls that are the same color as the border. Be careful though because the border does change quite frequently!
For every ball that you touch correctly you get points. If you touch a ball that is the wrong color it will turn black and start counting down from 5. If you do not touch that ball within 5 seconds then it will explode and you lose. You will also randomly see black balls like this fly in from the edge of the scree and you’ll need to make sure that they don’t explode either!
At the very beginning there are not very many balls and they all move pretty slowly, but that changes 
very quickly! In the upper left corner of the screen you’ll see a number that represents how many points you’ve accumulated in your current game, and in the upper right corner you’ll see what level you’re currently on.
When you finish a game you’ll see a summary of your performance. It shows you your score, level, how many 
balls you touched, how many times you missed and your Accuracy! From this screen you can choose to play again or go back to the menu.
One thing that I would really like to see added to this game is some kind of global high-scores feature. While it is definitely fun to compete against yourself and to see how high you can score, it’s hard to beat human competition! With that said, the high score feature is pretty simple and it keeps track of your scores quite well!
Overall this game is just a lot of fun, and best of all it’s the kind of game that you can really pick up and play for just a few minutes! Whether you’re looking for a quick game to pass some time, or you just want to work on your touch accuracy, I’d encourage you to give Touch Chaos a look. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Tetrapped – iPhone App Review
Tetrapped – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Tetrapped ($0.99)
Version – 1.0.1
Review – “Familiar shapes in a new type of puzzle game!”
Tetrapped is a puzzle game that is designed to really make you think. There are no timers or score, it’s just how many moves will it take you to solve the puzzle! The basic idea is that you are given various shaped pieces inside a box and you have to move them 
around each other to get a certain piece in a certain place. While it may sound simple, it can be extremely confusing!
The man menu screen is simple, and yet creative. The main menu is made up of 4 blocks of various shapes that make up your menu options. To get started just touch the “Play” button at the top and you’ll be taken to a tutorial the first time that you do so. Once you finish the tutorial you’ll be taken to the first level. The game defaults to a 6×6 board the first time that you play but there are two other sizes: 7×7 and 8×8 that make it more difficult!
Every time you start a new level you’ll see the “target” block start out where it goes and then move somewhere else. Once that block is in place it is surrounded by some other
blocks of random shapes. At the top of the screen you’ll see a box that shows how many moves you’ve made and your best score on that level if you’ve already completed it.
To play the game all you have to do is grab the block you want to move and drag it where you want it. You can only move blocks in one direction in 1 “move,” but they can be moved in any direction. The levels are all designed to make you think, and some of them are actually very easy if you think a little outside of the box.
There are three buttons at the bottom of the screen that will take you back to the home screen, allow you to select a new level, or restart the current level you’re working on. Whether you bring up the level select from in-game or through the option at the main menu, you’ll be given a list of the different board sizes to choose from first, and then you’ll be taken to the list of levels for the on you choose.
There are a few basic options that you can set under the “settings” button from the main menu of this 
game. They include the ability to turn certain sound effects on/off, change the color scheme and reset your stats. There is also an option to turn “Auto Advance” on/off. This will send you straight to the next level when you finish when it’s on, or just stay at the finished screen till you do something if it’s off.
The basic concept of the game feels somehow familiar, but at the same time new. One thing that seems to be
missing is a “competition” factor. It would be cool to be able to see the minimum number of moves that are required to solve a particular puzzle. This would give you a number to shoot for and would make the amount of moves that you solve a puzzle in mean a little more.
While I have played a couple of other games that use a concept similar to this game, the “Tetris” shapes really add a new twist that I had not seen before. There is plenty of challenge in this game and it has hundreds of levels that will test your patience for hours on end! The game is currently available for $0.99 and I would definitely recommend it if you need something to pass some time, or if you just enjoy games that make you think.

Energy4You – iPhone App Review
Virion SD: Fight Viruses and Race the Clock
Virion SD: Fight Viruses and Race the Clock is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $.99 Score: 7/10 By M. Schusterman
The problems I had with this game weren’t so much the game itself, but the lack of instruction and intuitiveness, which is quite contrary to how it’s described. Virion SD, designed by Stigmergy Games, is supposed to be a game in which you fight off a mutating virus. What it comes off as is more of a timing game that isn’t quite as challenging as I’d hoped.
The app opens to three players numbered 1-3, which you can change and upload a personal picture to. Tap one to see the selection of levels, all of which are locked but the first. Tapping that first level takes you to an image of a brain divided into sections. Tap the first to start.
What you’ve got is a globe with one arm, and later, many arms, sticking out of it. The end of each arm has a certain shape. Various pieces fly randomly around the screen, which have shapes that fit the arms like puzzle pieces. Tap a shape to freeze it, then line it up with the arm (which is moving). Once you’ve got all the arms lined up with a piece, tap the globe and the arms sort of suck the pieces in. Depending on the level, that could be the end, or you could be faced with more arms.
The music is thumpy and interesting, but the graphics are the same for each part of the brain, and I lost interest quickly. What frustrated me was that I had to research outside of the iTunes page and the game itself to learn how to do certain things. For example, there’s a time limit on each level, but no exit or pause button. I thought there was none, and the only option to stop was to exit the app. Then I read on the Virion “Hints” page that you can quit (not pause) a level by swiping five – not four – but five fingers on the screen. I’ve never encountered an app with a five finger swipe, yet no four finger swipe, and it strikes me as very counter-intuitive.
Something else I wondered was what was the point of having a timer if I never know how many legs are going to keep sprouting out of the globe. Once you’ve successfully lined up pieces with the arms, a number briefly appears in the center of the globe. It turns out this number tells you how many legs are left – something that is not actually explained within the game.
Overall, it’s not a bad game, and there are a lot of levels. However, I don’t feel it delivered the tension and excitement promised, and it was a bit confusing in the beginning.
Virion SD [iTunes link] requires iPhone OS 4.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

Audio Class Notes Free – iPhone App Review
Audio Class Notes Free – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Audio Class Notes Free
Version – 1.0
Review – “Take notes the easy way for free!”
I found that one of the most irritating things in college was trying to keep up with some of my professors taking notes. There’s just so much information in some classes that sometimes it’s hard to decide what you need to write down. If you have one of those classes you may want to check out Audio Class Notes Free on your iPhone or iPod Touch!
When you open up the app the first thing you’ll see is a menu with three options. You can “Record a new file,” “Play A Recorded File,” or view and edit preferences in the “Options” menu. Inside the options menu you’ll see buttons to select the recording quality, 
remove all data from the app, and to add/remove “Classes” which is how all of your recordings are organized!
Once you’re ready to start recording you’ll need to make sure you’ve set up the class that you’re recording notes for, and then touch the “Record a new file” button. To start recording just touch the “Record” button in the upper left corner. At any time you can pause recording, or when you’re finished just touch the stop button stop and save it. You’ll be asked for a name for the recording, and if you don’t give it one then it will be named “Recording #?”.
Once you’ve recorded your class notes to review them later just touch the “Play A Recorded File” button. You’ll be given a list of all the files that you currently have. You can remove items from the list by swiping and touching the “Delete” button that 
comes up, or by touching the “Delete Mode” button in the lower right corner and using the “-” buttons to the left of the recordings.
To play a recording just touch it and you’ll open the the playback screen. From here you can not only listen to your recordings, but you can also tag certain parts so that you can quickly find them later. This is extremely easy to do, my only comment would be that there really needs to be a way to delete “tags” just in case you add 
one in a place where you didn’t want it, or you named it wrong.
All things aside this is a very useful app, and I was very impressed with how well this app was able to pick up people’s voices, even at a distance. Best of all though it’s totally free! The only thing you’ll have to deal with are the ads that you see at the top of the screen. They are not obtrusive though, and if you choose to view them they are Apple’s new “iAds” so you don’t have to leave the app to check them out!
If you’ve been looking for a voice recording app similar to this one, there is no reason that you shouldn’t at least give this a try. While there may be apps out there with a few extra “bells and whistles,” it is very doubtful that you’ll be able to find a better, easier to use app than this one for free. So what are you waiting for? Click the link below and check it out for yourself today!

Arkinvade – iPhone App Review
Arkinvade – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Arkinvade ($0.99)
Version – 1.02
Review – “Creative twist on Brick-breakers”
When I got my first iPhone, one of the first games that I looked
for was a “block-breaker” game. Since that time I have seen a lot of these games. While most of them are fun, after a while they all feel kind of the same. While at first I wasn’t sure if I liked it, Arkinvade definitely has a different feel to it. From the way the ball reflects off the paddle down to the large 
variety of power-ups and creatures attacking, the game manages to stay interesting.
The first time you start up Arkinvade you’ll want to link it to your OpenFeint profile if you have one. This will allow you to compare your scores with friends and people all around the world. There are also several achievements that you can work to get and show off as well.
The main menu was a little bit confusing at first, there is a play button in the center of the screen with the OpenFeint logo just below it. At the top of the screen is where it gets a little confusing. There are 6 little buttons that were a little bit hard to see at first. There’s not much description on them, but touching them will bring up various menu 
options that cover everything from the control scheme, to the sound effects and and options to restore a game that you have previously quit out of.
Once you’re ready to get started just touch the play button and you’ll be taken to the main game screen. The default control scheme is to use the accelerometer to move your paddle, and all 3 controls schemes have little buttons in the lower right and left corners to make the ball start moving. The other two control schemes either give you 2 directional buttons or allow you to control your paddle by touching and dragging it.
The object of the game is, as expected, to destroy all of the blocks on the screen. As you play the game you’ll find that some blocks are destroyed in one hit, while others may take several. Throughout the game you’ll also find large green blocks that release bad guys when they are destroyed. The bad guys fire bullets that freeze your paddle for a short time and come after you just like the bad guys in Space Invaders.
One thing that I noticed as I was playing this game is that the physics seemed a little different than you would expect in most of these games. If the ball is already moving from left to right pretty fast and you 
bump it with the left side of your paddle, the momentum that the ball has effects it a lot more than in most games that I’ve played. This makes the game interesting and adds a little more challenge to it as well.
The best thing about this game though is the variety that has been added to the gameplay. There are tons of different power-ups that do all kinds of things from making your paddle bigger, giving you more than one ball to destroy blocks with, set your ball on fire and make it literally cut right through all of the blocks, and even give your paddle firepower temporarily. Beware though because not all of the icons you see will help you. There are a few that will make things more difficult and/or even kill your current life.
Overall, I think that this game has the potential to be a real top-seller if just a few small issues are addressed in future updates. The first is that the game really needs a screen that shows
you all of the icons that you can collect and tells you what they do. It’s a little bit frustrating to grab an icon that you’ve never seen before and have it kill you.
The second thing is that the game needs better support for continuing your game. It took me a while to even figure out that it was possible. This could be easily remedied by either asking the user if they want to continue their previously exited game, or by adding quick-launch multitasking that brings up the app where you left off. Although just changing the menu a little bit and making it more obvious what options you do have would work just fine as well.
With that said, the game is a lot of fun once you get everything figured out, and it is currently available in the iTunes App Store for just $0.99. If you’re a fan of brick-breaking games, this is one of the most engaging games I’ve played of that type. If you’re still reading this I’d encourage you to click the link below and check it out in the App Store today!

iPhone App Review: 1-Click Flashlight
iPhone App Review: 1-Click Flashlight is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
One of the most surprisingly useful things my iPhone 4 has is an LED flash. It’s actually terrible as a flash, but I really quickly found myself opening the camera app in order to use the flash as a flashlight. It was only a matter of time before flashlight apps started springing up on the app store.
One app in particular I like is 1-Click Flashlight, a stripped-down flashlight app that does one thing and does it to perfection: give you light.
The LED light comes on within seconds after tapping the icon, and a tap to the otherwise black screen brings up a big blue button. You may think touching the blue button turns the light off but no, you would be wrong. Depressing the blue button causes the LED light to strobe, for the occasional impromptu rave.
This is the app, folks. Touch that and you got strobe.
Those of you with toddlers also know that a strobe effect is always a big hit, though be careful. Strobes are known to trigger seizures in those that are susceptible.
One of the subtly brilliant things about this app is that it does NOT have an off button, and the reason why is that the iPhone hardware already includes one: the home button. Rather than waste screen real estate or user-interface overhead on drawing an off button, the developers just put the built-in feature of iOS to work for them. When you quit the app, the light turns off.
Another small but priceless feature is that the app retains the strobe state when you quit, so if you left it in strobe mode it will be in strobe mode when you start the app again. I’m not sure why you need an LED strobe light so much but hey, there it is.
I should point out that this app replaced my previous flashlight app of choice, which in comparison had a screen cluttered with graphics, buttons, and useless information; and it didn’t really offer anything beyond what this one does.
All in all, 1-Click Flashlight is a terrific slimmed-down flashlight app that doesn’t waste resources on giving you things you don’t need.
