WEEKLY IPHONE APPS ROUNDUP – TOP 5 APPS FOR APRIL 8

Top five iPhone Apps
Luke Patrick

It is been a hectic week here at the iPhone App Review, as we’ve been swapping our luggage to a server a lot more effective than Optimus Prime. But did we neglect our app reviewing duties as we took the virtual U-Haul out of town? Heck no! In reality, we covered a ton of wonderful apps this week.

Our week here at the iPhone App Review featured a lot of games and blistered thumbs: With The Blobs! we showed you just how enjoyable tilt mazes can be on iOS, which we quickly followed up with Zoombie Digger, a zombie-based tower-defense that genuinely puts the enjoyable back in Undead Revolution. Lastly, if angry mobs just aren’t your style, we featured the exceptional tilting fun of Rotate a Shape.

We also capped the week off with some wonderful ways to get at your files, like SongBox Player for listening to your DropBox music while on the go, and Bdrive for just about everything else. And last, but surely not least, we showed you how to get at your inner Brit—and your UK customers—with iBizz Organization.

All that reviewing, and yet we still aren’t at the Leading five iPhone Apps for April 8! There is a sneak peek at our very first app on the list below, but hit us up after the break to see what our full leading picks had been the week were:

Atari’s Greatest Hits

 

Atari’s Greatest Hits – Free

Topping the charts this week is Atari’s master collection of retro games, Atari’s Greatest Hits. If you discover your self wishing the iPhone had a bit a lot more Pong in it, then your long wait is finally over.

This iPhone app is the official, gold-stamped offering by Atari, and inside its bosom you’ll locate all your favorite classics: Asteroid, Battlezone, Gravitar, Star Raiders, Pong, Missile Command, and a lot of other people. The app is free, but you’ll have to pay for games via in-app purchase—thankfully not in quarters, although.

 

Angry Birds Rio

 

Angry Birds Rio – $.99

We’re totally digging what Rovio has accomplished with Angry Birds in the series’ latest incarnation, Angry Birds Rio. The app has been given a graphics overhaul, with a ton more sprites, two new episodes, and—of course—a whole heap of extra levels for you to fling your way via.

The game is only a buck in the AppStore ($2.99 for the HD version) and at that cost, we believe it would be darn tough to pass up the 120 levels Angry Birds Rio is sporting. We weren’t fans of the in-game ads, but then once more, absolutely nothing is perfect—not even Angry Birds. The game looks gorgeous on the iPad, iPhone, and iTouch, and with constant, high quality updates, Rovio has when again reaffirmed why Angry Birds is now an iOS classic.

Tiny Wings

Tiny Wings: – $.99

Although not debuting this week in certain, we are still big fans of Tiny Wings. This absolutely gorgeous app is the creation of a certain Andreas Illiger, and if Angry Birds leaves you itching for a bit a lot more avian gameplay, you’ll find a second home in Tiny Wing’s hill-studded action.

The game has you as a huge bird with small wings who only wants to fly. Thankfully, the nearby scenery is filled with ramp-like hills aplenty, letting you skip along to collect points as you race toward other levels in advance of the impending night. It is stellar stuff that we found particularly gorgeous on the Retina Display, and at a dollar in the App Store, Tiny Wing’s feathers will definitely tickle your value bone.

Facebook App

 

Facebook App – Free of charge

Also fresh out this week is a brand new Facebook update for the iPhone and iPod Touch, which we had been total suckers for in our review. We’re large fans of Facebook, what can we say? But if you are like us, you’ll appreciate the two new features the update brings: Unfriending on the go, and the capability to check into parties, events, games, etc. It adds even far more functionality to a fantastic—and totally free—app that you are already utilizing.

With the current update, you now have the alternative to unfriend a person whilst checking into their party, bringing social irony to a entire new level.

Karaoke Now 2.

 

Karaoke Now 2. – Free

And finally, hailing from the wonderful, snowy north, Canadian developers TriceraSoft brought us Karaoke Now 2. this week, which turns your iPad, iPhone, or iTouch into a full-blown Karaoke machine. Forget lugging around massive speakers, track folders, and heaps of CD Gs: Now your iDevice can totally free up your hands for even far more mic-time. With an extensive—and we mean extensive—track collection to choose from, Karaoke Now 2. means you’ll in no way have to party with out Karaoke once again. I mean, only if you want, although. Karaoke Now is completely free of charge in the App Store, though purchasing songs—which can be accomplished with credit packs—will set you back at least $3.99.
