iAR: Timeloop

Steven T. — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:14:08 +0000

With a completely original plot, this week’s review, Timeloop.

Basically, the plot is that you are a robot janitor who’s stuck in a lab that’s running out of oxygen. Luckily, there’s a time machine that can bring you back into time while still being in the same place (you can be in two places at once). To put all of this in simpler words, it’s a redesigned obstacle course. Controls are simple, tap on a place to move Nik (robot janitor) and tap on tools to use them. Tap the orange button in the corner or shake your device to activate the time loop. I personally love puzzle games because of the brainpower you need to solve them (figures, I have so much brainpower ). This game was enjoyable to play but once I got along to the harder levels, it started becoming annoying. The problem? Time limit. Time limits stop you from putting real thought into a puzzle. Sure it’s a real challenge but there should be an option to turn time limit off for beginners. Controls are pretty good, graphics are above average, game keeps you entertained (if you like puzzles), the only flaw keeping this game from being almost perfect is the timer. The game is definitely worth 99 cents for the game play you get out of it.

My overall rating? 9 out of 10 stars!

iCTR: O.L.E.D!

Douglas M. — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:59:40 +0000

This week’s theme review is our very own, iPwnAge’s O.L.E.D. theme! As a matter of fact, I am extremely glad that I am reviewing this wonderful theme, thanks to our very own Chris.
O.L.E.D. is a nature based theme, the backgrounds of the Springboard changing continously in a matter of seconds. Although O.L.E.D. is a new theme, it is developing and will be better than ever. The backgrounds of each icon bring freshness, of the bright and sunny colors. I highly recommend this theme, and it is not hard to find!
In order to get O.L.E.D. , you must have our new and updated source – http://repo.ipwnage.com. Then, go to “sections,” and scroll down to the iPwnAge application and O.L.E.D. will be there! Here, are some images of the great O.L.E.D. :

Notice how the backgrounds change!

My Overall Rating? 9.4 out of 10 stars!

10 Billion Songs Downloaded. And Counting.

David L. — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:00:12 +0000

(EDIT- Louie Sulcer, a 71 year old man, was the one, whom, at the opportune time, downloaded the 10th Billion Song) Isn’t that something?

Ah. Yes. I do hope you followed Chris’s advice on buying songs right before the counter hit 10 billion. Apple hasn’t released who won yet, although soon as they do, we’ll update the post. I continued scrolling down only to see the top 20 songs purchased ALL TIME. It kinda’ made me freak, because; for some odd reason, Miley Cyrus was there. Her song “Party in the U.S.A” was labeled the 20th most bought song since iTunes debuted. Here are the top 20 songs sold.

Yeah. That’s what we said.

iAR: The Dog

Neel B. — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:40:23 +0000

Well, since I have totally lost hope in the upcoming jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS 3.1.3, I am now in charge of the App Review department, and the next app is, “The Dog.” This app is what you think it is, you start off from a choice of five dogs, Beagle, Yorkshire Terrier, Boxer, Labrador, and a German Shepherd, in my case, a Boxer. The dog variety is not so great, and I’m hoping they’ll add more choices in the next update, but hey, you never know what’s in the next update. You start off with the basics, training the dog, buying food, and how to take it for a walk. One thing that is really confusing is the white backround, I mean, everything is white! You have a floating couch in the middle of NO WHERE! That’s one big thing that they should change, but probably won’t happen. The Dog, in my opinion, is not so entertaining, well, I’m a guy, maybe some 8 year old girls will enjoy it, but not some dude. I’ll say one thing though, walking the dog is pretty fun. The graphics in this game are great, but they’re also a bit choppy. In “The Dog,” I have learned a few ways to treat a dog, which I think was helpful in some way. My opinion is that I think this game can have a bit more variety, all I do is feed my dog, take him for a walk, put him to bed, and then it’s all over again, but sometimes there’s a twist. Since I’m an ex-owner of a cat, I’m not a fan of dogs, I’m just waiting for “The Cat.” This app sells for $4.99 in the App store.

My Overall Rating? 7.4 out of 10 stars!

iCTR: Glasklart

Douglas M. — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:48:43 +0000

This week’s theme is a special theme, almost as special as last week’s iBox Carbon. Glasklart is an amazing theme, not only does it have a Springboard design, but it is a package that
comes with wallpapers, a variety of icons for each application, alternate arrow slider (meaning the words “slide to unlock” do not appear when hitting the sleep/wake button), and even a dock flow!
Many quirky aspects of Glasklart include an invisible background for the icons, midnight blue bubbles for text-messaging, and many more.

With Glasklart, the wallpaper for the Springboard is not necessary, as a matter of fact, I highly recommend that if you install Glasklart, you apply “transparent dock,” and your own wallpaper (any image) to the Springboard by applying “user wallpaper.” This is because, since the icons are transparent, you can have a better view of your wallpaper. Though, Glasklart does not support all of your icons with a design, it covers most of them and it is extremely appealing.

If not, Glasklart is definitely in my top 3 of favorite themes of all theme. Maybe as good or even the same as iBox Carbon.

Here are some images I would like to compare for you.

This is what I recommend by using your wallpaper as your Springboard background which looks A LOT better in my opinion than this:
