Earth Day! 20 Green iPhone Apps for the Ecologically Aware (0)
4/26/10 •
Can you believe the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, in a time when having an ecological mindset was correlated more with wearing birkenstocks and eating – the horror – foods not provided in a colorfully designed cardboard box? The environmentalists of this era are often dramatized as hemp-wearing hippies who tied themselves to ... Read More

My boyfriend and I have our respective addictions – I have my daily desires for yoga, running, reading back articles of The New Yorker, eating peanut butter on celery and drawing comics of an inconsequential nature, while he enjoys swinging clubs at the driving range, playing guitar, and listening to The Mother Hips. But, our ... Read More

I love meaningless games. I had my tea this morning, black tea, with milk and honey – the only way to drink tea – walked the dog, had a hearty breakfast of homemade buckwheat granola and almond milk, a handful of kale chips from the night before, and my daily vitamin D and fish oil, ... Read More

There haven’t been too many apps lately that have caught my eye. There are so many apps out there already, plus new ones being made for the iPad, not to mention the Android system of apps – it’s simply overwhelming. And, half of those apps – hell, three quarters – are pretty lackluster, or just ... Read More

With so many games in the iTunes Store, it’s easy to overlook plenty of more obscure, lesser-known games that, in many ways, prove to be more thought-provoking or original. There are already hundreds, if not thousands of block-breaking or bubble-popping games, so much that I don’t even want to experiment with any more now that ... Read More
Intel Postcards from the Future (0)
4/01/10 •
When Appstruck received a review request for Intel Postcards from the Future from Skyrockit, we didn’t quite know what to make of it. An e-card… from Intel? Was it actually created by Intel? Or, why would Intel want to sponsor some kind of postcard app, which frankly, feels a little dated? E-cards really became big ... Read More

Here’s another game that shot to the top of the Most Downloaded list on the iTunes Store. Surprisingly enough, it’s not a game I would expect to reach the top of any list, but then again, I tend to stray from most hunting style games (though I admit a certain fetish, as a kid, for ... Read More
Simon: Classic (1)
3/25/10 •
I just had to review this game. I was born in 1984, and while erring a bit on the too-young side to truly appreciate, say, the classic Atari, or The New Kids on the Block, maybe even acid-washed jeans, midriff t-shirts and neon yellow shoelaces, it goes without saying that I’m a product of the ...

We’ve all heard of Pandora, right? It’s a fun device that creates playlists for you according to your individual tastes in songs, artists, or genres. It uses its cool musical technology to figure out underlying beats and riffs, tempos and so forth inherent to, say, “Sky Blue Sky” by Wilco, and then filters out other ... Read More
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2010 (0)
2/24/10 •
In light of the recent controversy over the loss of certain scintillating, titillating apps in the iTunes app store, we rejoice over our continued access to the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition on the iPhone. It may seem odd that the Swimsuit edition is still available, given the picketing outrage of many a feminist, but ... Read More
