So Deepak Chopra has a yoga app. Wait, you don’t know who Deepak Chopra is? He’s only one of the most esteemed leaders of alternative medicine, known in this country for bringing Ayurvedic medicine to the limelight, and who, to this day, is unfortunately criticized greatly by stringently Western-based doctors who lack an open mind ...

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

French Women Don’t Get Fat, The Okinawa Diet, The China Study, Dr. Atkin’s New Diet Revolution, and The Best Life Diet are but a few of the the most notable diet books from the last decade, each one acclaimed in its own right, each one later lambasted, and each ...

Here’s a short, rhyming story about me: There once was a girl named Jackie, who watered her plants til they were tacky. She stayed up all night, feeling something wasn’t right, and thought to herself, “I wonder if they get too much light?” It wasn’t very clear, no, not at all, why her plants shed ... 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
Foodictionary :: International Food & Beverage Translator (0)

This app by Magenta Itd immediately piqued my curiosity. Why? Because it’s a food app. You could say it tantalized my tastebuds, involuntarily made me salivate, that I caught a whiff of interest from its delicious title, Foodictionary. A dictionary on food – could it possibly get any better? Before even opening the app I ... Read More

I think reading is tantamount to many good things in life, not just knowledge and literacy, and it has, for quite awhile now, unfortunately been backsliding in favor of more immediate gratifications, like computer games, tv shows, sports, simply hanging out with friends. All of these are good and well, but it always strikes me ... 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

Awhile back we reviewed an excellent navigational and local-discovery app by the name of SOHOinmypocket by AppFury. When covering that app, not only did I have memories of the east coast and my days in New York, I was amusingly reminded of that now, almost defunct toy I would play with in my childhood, of ...

I Need A Muse (5)
3/23/10 •
Here’s an interesting app I came across recently, one that provides a service I have yet to find elsewhere in the App Store: I Need A Muse. The developer, Gautch, had the objective in mind to incite creativity for the writer, to spur his imagination when it came to creating characters. The app covers a ... Read More
