iHandy Level

Price at time of writing FREE.

Price FREE

Look I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this. There isn't much you can say about a spirit level.

This popular app (as advertised on TV too) has had thousands of downloads and thousands of ratings.

The variation between 1 and 5 stars is huge. The overall verdict being pretty evenly split between awful and excellent.

However, if used as the developer states, it certainly isn't a bad app.

Used "out of the box" the level may not be 100% accurate so the developer added a calibrate option so you can use a known accurate spirit level to rectify this. The accelerometer in every mobile/touch may differ slightly in it's initial setting so it is sensible to give this option. (I'll ignore iPad as I can't see anybody seriously using an ipad as a leveller). I have to say I haven't used calibrate and I found the initial level accuracy spot on, but perhaps I'm just lucky?

Some have said "If I want a level I'll go to my toolbox". Well yes, but if you only want a quick guide for a shelf you may not wish to go out to your shed/garage in the pouring rain or snow.

Graphically it's fine. How much glamour can you give a bubble for heaven's sake?

And hey it's free which can't be bad these days.

As far as I'm concerned this is a functional app from a developer who has been honest about how to use it properly for best results.

Scramble 2 by Zynga

Price at time of writing Free-59p (approx $1)

Scramble 2 by Zynga is quite possibly the most popular word app available.

It's a simple "find as many words in a grid as possible" concept. But what makes it stand out is excellent presentation and additional features.

The game itself is, at the moment, free. But I'd advise going for one of the paid options (pathetically small price) to give you a few "Scramble Points" to get you going. Scramble points are accrued the more you play and allow you to unlock new theme backgrounds and achievements to enhance gameplay. With most themes costing a mere 20 points a 100 points game purchase option gives you good variety to start off with.

In options you can choose from a 4x4 grid or 5x5. Most people opt for 4x4 as it makes a good size for competitive online matches.

You can play on your own, challenge a friend with a grid you've played, you can "pass and play" or you can do what most people do and play online against many others.

Zynga claim you can compete against hundreds of others online. That is not a false claim. Many, many, games run at the same time. From hundreds and hundreds of games I have never played a game with less than 20 players, I would say it averages 30-40 and I've played games with as many as 500 competitors.

There's the occasional disconnection from the server but it is very rare in relation to the time spent connected.

You can upload your own custom icon (perhaps a pic of yourself?) If a user has an inappropriate picture all users can report it and it is immediately blanked out and reviewed by Zynga.

Facebook connectivety just adds to a great experience enabling you to compete with your social network Friends.

Each "Theme" has a series of achievements to aim for and there are also other goals to aim for such as long words, and "podium position" awards.

Word selection is either by tapping letters in order and then pressing the final letter twice or by "drag and release". Personally I prefer the first option. The board can be rotated, if you think it may help, by putting two fingers on oppostite diagonal edge letters and twisting clockwise or anticlockwise. This doesn't actually change the order of letters but it sometimes helps to spot a word you've missed.

With 3 minutes available to get as many words as possible from your random grid it's totally addictive button-bashing at it's best. If you get your trophy for 1st place, believe me, you will feel you earned it!

10/10 and available here

Next generation iPod Touch with Camera??

A Vietnamese website called Tinhte has published pictures and video of what looks like a next generation iPod touch with camera. This is the same website that leaked the pictures of the fourth-generation iPhone. The iPod touch in the picture and the video looks like a prototype running on some kind of a hardware testing software. It has exactly the same physical dimensions and design as the second-generation and third-generation iPod touch. Read more....

Mac Rumors notes that the prototype does not appear to be a particularly new creation, as its serial number indicates that it was manufactured in June 2009. Also the "N18" codename found on a sticker on the back of the device indicated that the unit is indeed a third-generation iPod touch prototype, and not representative of an upcoming revision to the product. If you recall similar 2 iPod Touch prototypes with camera had showed up on ebay recently.

iPod Touch With Camera Pictures Leaked

Well well well! iPod Touch with Camera was leaked yesterday in Vietnam. Looks like this iPod Touch has 2.0 MP Camera but it is not a production model. Meaning that there could be some drastic changes, for example Camera MP? Who builds 2.0MP camera now days? Also aluminum look on iPod Touch started to be a bit, boring. We are not sure if this iPod Touch is fake but according to many sources, the serial number that was attached it could be very well be 2009 third generation iPod Touch.

Checkout these pictures and me know what you think about it in comments:

 

Anyway, real or not real model, release date of iPod Touch 4.0 is expected to be in June for WWDC Apple Event.

iPad/ iPod Touch Games - Iron Man 2 For iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad

Iron Man 2 for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad comes complete with 9 levels of play, upgradeable suits with various enemies to battle. You will first presume the role of Tony Stark, Iron Man and have the alternative of playing as War Machine in later missions. The game begins with simple tutorials designed to help you learn the game’s controls such as weapon’s targeting to flying around the city. Your character will come outfitted with repulsor lasers and missiles. As you complete each mission’s objectives, you’ll gain experience points which you can use in between missions to upgrade your character’s attacks, shields and combinations.

You begin the fight in New York and move to different locations such as third world villages and even underwater. Mission objectives will basically call for you to defeat all enemies or to go to a waypoint and defuse bombs. Bomb defusal is a built-in mini-game which will require you to slide puzzle pieces around to match the image you are given.

The graphics and animated sequences are truly stunning in Iron Man 2. I really enjoyed my time flying around New York City’s landscape, only to be interrupted by enemy drones who insist on killing my character. The “ground pound” sequences, where Iron Man lands on the ground and cracks the concrete around him also adds to the wow factor of the game. The music and sound effects used within the game completely immerses the player in the entire hero experience. Both Iron Man and War Machine are easily controlled using an onscreen joystick and buttons, which appear large enough on the iPad’s screen to allow for easy access.

Gin Rummy

This ipod touch app recently got an update. I saw my wife playing this game, so I started to play it too. I can't believe how fun and addictive it is. Anyways, it is just another game to have fun playing.

I still use my ipod touch everyday for listening to music, but honestly my enthusiasm for this gadget has been reduced. I think it is because it lacks the ability to do things that I later found out after using it.

At one point, I was interested in getting the latest version and go to a 32 or 64 GB, but I don't value it as much as before and think there will be better gadgets to use in the future.

The Times Spelling Bee

Price at time of writing £1.19 How good do you think your spelling is? (approx $2)

Well this app by The Times can test your spelling at three difficulty levels easy, medium and hard.

The app has been open to some criticism because certain words (e.g. there and their, hear and here) sound the same and because certain words are difficult to hear and identify because of bad pronunciation and the accent of the speaker.

The first point, similar sounding words, has been dealt with as effectively as possible. This is done by a series of clues you can run through to establish which word you are looking for. This works quite well in practice.

The second point the developer has tried to deal with by saying they have resorted to the narrators with the clearest voices. It is better, but it is by no means perfect and it can still be difficult, even with the ability to play the spoken word over and over, to work out what is being said.

I have to be fair here and to point out the clarity is better if you use earphones, but that isn't always practical.

If I look at my stats on this app it's amazing to see how many times I have eventually lost only because I couldn't identify the spoken word, not because I couldn't spell it, even on easy! "Nether" is one example - I heard "never".

As regards to the stats this relates to your performance only. No multiplayer and no online integration has resulted in this being a good, but not outstanding app. The price point quoted above could also be seen as expensive compared to other word games.

For those who wish to improve their spelling this is still a fully recommended application. With the thousands of words in it's database you will always be fully tested. Believe me hard mode will test with a vengeance those who think they can spell really difficult words..... I'd never even heard of proselytise let alone know how to spell it!

The Times Spelling Bee is still an app "with potential" to be a top rated app. At the current time though whilst it does stand out as being the best spelling app available it could certainly be a darned site better with more functionality.

Doodle Jump app review

Price at time of writing 59p (approx $1)

Doodle Jump is a pick-up-and-play delight. Simple, yet effective, graphics yet a very unique game which requires little explanation.

The aim? You have a little "Doodle Man" who jumps from block to block up the screen. You have to guide your little doodle friend on and on up the screen. You will be hindered by brittle landing blocks, enemies and much more. You will be aided by power ups like springs, rockets and again much more - but only if you land on them. Miss a block and plunge back to earth and it's game over!

From the main menu screen, at the bottom, you can scroll through the "theme selections" which are available for the game. Themes change not only the background but also the helps and hindrances you will encounter in your game.

As you progress up your screen which resembles a sheet of graph paper you will pass lines together with a username indicating where others have failed. It is great to sail past the height others have achieved.

The app has both Facebook and Twitter integration allowing you to boast about your latest high score. Alternatively you can use the app to mail challenge to a friend.

I don't thing Doodle Jump is an app you will play for hours on end. It is, however, a app you will return to time and time again to try and beat your previous high score because it's so infuriating if you just miss it!

9/10 and extremely well priced here
