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

It’s hard to think of Sports without thinking of Sports Illustrated. It’s kind of the go-to resource for many a sporting fan, like Forbes is for business people, W is for fashion mavens, and US Weekly is for gaudy gossip (I had to throw that one in). And, who can forget the famous and much ... Read More

After playing yesterday’s Real Tennis 2009, I developed a hankering for some real tennis. If there’s any sport I truly enjoy watching, or actually look forward to, it’s tennis. There are plenty of sports-tracking apps in the iTunes Universe, but I heard some good things about CBS Sports Mobile. Naturally, I thought I’d give a ... Read More

Some of you may be thinking, “a weather app? Are you serious?” Alright, so compared to yesterday’s Survival Guide, the WeatherBug app seems a little trite, a little less mind-blowing. But, as any outdoor enthusiast knows, preparing for whatever weather lies ahead is tantamount to a good trip – and your safety. With the way ... Read More
iPhoners: New Gamers on the Horizon (0)

Now this is a game. Back in August I reviewed Doom Resurrection and Terminator Salvation with the idea that these two games would really impress upon iPhone users the true gaming capabilities of the iPhone, especially the iPhone 3GS. True, like any full-length game, these games were flawed in many respects, but prior to them ... Read More

When I was in high school my older brother was my source of gaming news – what was new, what was the latest tech, and what game he was just aching to buy. He had a tendency to lean toward the Quake Series, with a dash of Unreal and Half-Life when those debuted, which in ... Read More

Last week I took a brisk walk in my neighborhood park – a delightful park here in Petaluma, called Helen Putnam, with rolling, golden hills and panoramic views – with a friend of mine. As we panted and talked rapidly between sharply inhaled breaths, the sun licking the beaded sweat from our foreheads, my friend ... Read More

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 ... Read More

It’s springtime and the air is rife with the chirruping and tweeting of birds. Only these high pitched twitterings may actually be emanating from all the iPhone users who check Twitterific, an app that happily chirps, cheeps, and trills in the likeness of a bluebird, cardinal, or robin when you access your personal feed.
