She receives an invitation to take part in the race I mentioned above, and since money was always a problem for her, she figured it was worth a shot.

It’s your job to solve the mystery of her childhood and get the prize.

Featured Play Store Newbie: Bobbit for Twitter [Social]

by Robert Nazarian on
tagged

I know there are a lot of Twitter apps out there, but here’s another one to throw into the mix. Bobbit for Twitter, created by Sparky Mobile, is a thematic live wallpaper that features your Twitter feed. Bobbit offers 6 different themes: city, night, show, forest, farm, and green. Each wallpaper features a scenery that many would find attractive even without the Twitter feed. Tweets are shown individually in a caption style along with a bird that flies in and out of your home screen. For example, in the city theme, the bird flies in and lands on a tree with each tweet. Tweets are displayed for about 5 seconds, then the bird flies off, and of course flies back with the very next tweet. If the tweet includes a link, you will see another bird flying overhead with a browser globe hanging by a rope. All you have to do is swipe down on the globe, and the link will open via your browser of choice.

Featured Play Store Newbie: Turn your Android phone into a server with Servers Ultimate [Tools]

by Robert Nazarian on
tagged

If you have an old Android phone laying around and love to tinker, I have a really good app for you to try. It’s called Servers Ultimate, and it was created by XDA member Themuzz. What it does is turn your Android phone into a server, and you have your choice of 10 dfferent types: DLNA, DNS, Dynamic DNS, Email, FTP(S), Proxy, SMS Gateway, Time, HTTP(S) and/or (secure) WebDAV. It doesn’t stop there because you can run multiple instances of the same server type and the same time.

This means you can set a streaming media server with the DLNA option, share files via FTP, set up your own web server, or even host your own email server. You’re probably thinking you need to be rooted, but guess what? You don’t. Themuzz says there are way too many features to list on the Google Play Store page, but hit the break to see what this puppy can do.

Slices is a new Twitter app developed by OneLouder, the makers of Tweetcaster, and aims to make your tweeting easier and more robust. Two core properties stick out to me when deciding what app I’ll use: beauty & functionality. To say Slices meets my expectations would be a huge understatement. OneLouder has provided just enough beauty to draw in the user experience and functionality that both Twitter pros and newbies alike will be satisfied.

Featured Play Store Newbie: Dr Panda’s Hospital – Vet Game [Education/Toddlers]

by Robert Nazarian on
tagged

Here’s another app for the toddlers. It’s called Dr. Panda’s Hospital – Vet Game and it’s all about playing doctor. I don’t think I ever met a child who doesn’t like to play doctor. Add in some animals and you’ve got something that will most likely keep kids pretty busy and hopefully learn a thing or two. Dr. Panda’s Hospital is best with kids between 2 and 6 years old. Your child gets to be a vet for 8 different animals, and it starts in the waiting room where patients come in one by one. Your child can bring the animals (patients) to beds, and with the help of the UI, figure out their medical issues and perform simple procedures to get them better. Now when I say procedures, I’m not talking about open heart surgery, I’m talking about things like giving shots, measuring blood pressure, applying band aids, and brushing their teeth.

Each patient is considered a “mini game” (10 in all) and your child will receive stickers for completing each mini game. I think in some ways this game not only teaches children a little about medicine, but it will also help them feel more comfortable at the doctors office. Dr. Panda does a great job in educating children while at the same time reducing their fears of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. I know my son doesn’t get too excited about going to the pediatrician, but after playing a game like this, he’s more likely to look forward to it.

You will also be happy to know that Dr. Panda is certified by the kidSAFE Seal Program, which is only awarded to those apps and websites that meet their 5 “core safety rules.”

Full list of game features:

  • Receive a fun and basic introduction to health, anatomy, and to the medical world
  • Cure stomach, eyes, ears, mouth and teeth
  • Measure blood pressure
  • Apply ointment to treat chicken pox
  • Adjust broken bones
  • Retrieve swallowed items
  • Laugh while delivering injections
  • Sort equipment into Dr. Panda’s medical carrying case
  • Keep waiting room and patient rooms clean

Dr. Panda is only $1.99, but you can also try out a Free version to see how you like it. The Free version is limited to 4 animals and 3 mini games, but it’s enough to get you started. Check out the screenshots and video below then hit one of the download links to get started. You can also like their Facebook page to learn about new releases and promotions.

Featured Play Store Newbie: Task Radar [Productivity]

by Robert Nazarian on
tagged

There are a slew of apps in the Google Play Store for managing your tasks or to do’s, and for those of you looking for something different, you might want to try Task Radar. It’s only been in the Play Store for a few days and is already getting solid user reviews. Task Radar was developed by SockMonkeySolutions, the same folks who gave us Gift Wizard. It’s touted as the first AI to do list. With a simple shake of your phone, Task Radar will automatically re-order your tasks based on priorities and dates. Another feature that I’ve never seen before is the ability to look at all your incoming deadlines through a radar-like screen.

Task Radar’s UI is gorgeous as it’s developed with ICS guidelines and there are plenty of options when creating a task or to do. Each task gets a deadline date and an impact as is none, low, medium, or high, and each impact is represented by a different color. You can also type in more details about the task and categorize it as work or home. You can view your work or home tasks separately or together. As far as alerts go, you can set each individual task as off or set it to alert you at 8 and 1 hours ahead of the scheduled finish time or 24, 8, and 1 hours ahead.

For a better look of how Task Radar works, check out the video below:

Task Radar is free, but they do have a paid version for $5.01 that removes ads. Just hit one of the links below to get started.

Featured Play Store Newbie: Bomb The Zombies [Game-Casual]

by Robert Nazarian on
tagged

Right off the bat, let me tell you that this game is a lot like Angry Birds, but there are some differences that make it very fun to play, not to mention it has a 4.5 rating in the Google Play Store. In this game each level consists of a structure with a few Zombies. Your goal is to toss bombs on to the structure in the hopes of knocking it down and thereby killing the zombies, much like Angry Birds. The big difference is the tossing. In Angry Birds you toss the birds in a horizontal fashion by aiming high or low. In Bomb the Zombies the bombs are placed in front of the structure so you can aim high or low, but you also need to aim to the right or left. This is all done with a swipe of your finger.
