I text like a manaic and use this app a lot. It is easy to use. You can't do some stuff like customize alert sounds but that's fine. Its free...what do you expect. Also would be great if I could password protect the app to keep it away from prying eyes. :-)

I will give Google props for coming up with a pretty decent merchant discovery app. They couldn't buy Yelp so they had to develop their own thing. And thiy've done a nice job. What I like about this app is it pulls information from Yelp, Urbanspoon and Google's own reviews. I rather have an average rating of a place with more people rather than less. You can also rate places you visit and the more you use the app the better Google's recommendation engine will steer... Read More

It would be nice if I could press a button and have a map with my location and the place I want to visit popped up along with directions. Still, pretty good. Close

i'm a sucka for tower defense game and this one is a pretty good one. this has all the hallmarks of td games including placement of tours and upgrading. a nice part about this is you need to think on 3 levels: land, air and sea. it's this tri-complexity that makes it compelling, challinging and fun.

In this app you defend earth from attacking aliens and at your disposal are all sorts of weapons like vulcan cannons and spiral grenades and the cool tri-vortex bombs. The graphics are smooth (the developers says it operates at 60 frames per second) which is pretty solid. The boss battles are intense and lengthy but I'm not sure that is necessarily a good thing. Vibration is supported so if you get hit you will feel it which is nice. Crystal, chillingo's proprietary leaderboard,... Read More

Vibration is supported so if you get hit you will feel it which is nice. Crystal, chillingo's proprietary leaderboard, is available which is always a plus. The other reviewers are right that this game is fast-paced and the controls a bit on the unruly side. A decent game but some improvements need to be made to make it better. Close

You gotta admit the technology is pretty cool. You point your iPHone at your feet and a soccer ball reacts to your kicks so it appears like you are juggling. Love the technology but don't really like the app too much becaus after you do it for a few minutes the fun wears off. I hope other developers continue the push toward augmented reality apps and create cool ones where maybe you interact with other folks somehow.
