We at Appstruck like reviewing iPhone apps. In fact, we love it. Getting down to the nitty gritty, laying it bare, showcasing the best and most interesting for our readers, so they don’t have to plow through deep space just to find a decent app. Really, researching applications is tedious, but great. But, let’s not forget ... Read More
Sports Week Wrap-Up (0)
2/05/10 •
It’s Sports Week on Appstruck, so what’s the first sporting app I choose to write about? Bowling. And, later? Air Hockey. That’s right, folks, you’re looking at a bonafide chick/geek. I can almost hear some testosterone-laden, gym rat jock grunting, “Huh, bowling. That’s not even a sport. What a chick!” But, enough with the stereotypes: ... Read More

O M G. I never thought I’d say this, but I love this sports game. And, it’s a football game. I’ve reached a milestone here. Of course, let’s be reasonable here: it’s not a true football game, in the sense that a true football game would actually require you to play football. BackBreaker Football by Natural ... Read More
Real Tennis 2009 (0)

Yesterday I discussed how much fun bowling can be, but today, I’ve shifted my focus to tennis. Aside from golf, I can’t think of a more uptight, frilly, steeped in aristocratic breeding, white sport than tennis. The sport just oozes British accents and white shorts, polo shirts, matching terry head and wristbands, and an immaculately ... Read More

I know what you’re thinking right now. Bowling? Really? That’s the best you could come up with? Well, no, I have plenty other apps up my sleeve, but let’s remember: bowling is a legitimate sport. Created some time in the 1800s, in the 1950s and 60s bowling alleys became immensely popular in the United States, ... Read More

When I still lived with my parents, in my teenage years not too long ago, I once came upon a book my brother brought home from school, a curiosity, because he rarely brought home anything at all. It was a book like any other, of the young adult vein, and without so much as a ... Read More
Surviving High School (0)

It’s the first day of school and you’re a new student, freshly transferred and awaiting peer approval. Hmm, sounds like me in High School. With its relatable moniker, Surviving High School is an appealing game for tweens, teens, and young adults alike. A pivotal milestone in anyone’s life, High School is more easily romanticized with that ... Read More
Balloonimals (1)
11/13/09 •
In carrying with the kids app theme for today, I’ve decided to finally review Balloonimals. I love this app. It’s amazing. Whenever I show off the iPhone’s capabilities to those unfamiliar (e.g. my mom), I tend to whip out Balloonimals because it’s quick, graphically flashy, and interactively beautiful. It’s the stuff that makes you weep it ... Read More
Doodle Buddy (1)
11/05/09 •
Who doesn’t love to doodle? I still have the blue crayon doodle of my boyfriend hanging on my fridge that I mocked in my review for Adam’s Art back in June. Several months ago I reviewed a great kid’s app by the name of Adam’s Art that entailed coloring and otherwise painting motions, with the end ... Read More
