The iPad is a perfect device for tracking and interacting with weather forecasts. As a result there are quite a few weather apps on the App Store. While it may not suit those who want very basic information, Intellicast HD provides a wealth of information about the weather in your area.

For the most part Intellicast HD is a very good app. It opens quickly, displays all of the information you need up front, and the ads are non-intrusive. The home interface is a satellite map of your location (if you enable GPS), but unlike some other weather apps, it … Read more

At first glance, InstaThis HD appears to be yet another barebones free image editing app for the iPad. However, while the app does limit what you can do in the free version, there are quite a few functions available that allow you to do everything from creating multi-image montages to editing and adding effects to those images.

When you first open the app, you'll be prompted to upgrade to the paid version, which features dozens of additional filters and editing tools. However, the free version is quite robust on its own, allowing you to use any of the app'… Read more

Stay Alight! (iPhone|iPad) is a destruction game that is somewhat similar to Angry Birds, but in this game, you play as Mr. Bulb and it's your job to take out the monster microbes.

Instead of flinging objects like you would in Angry Birds, with this game you're shooting an energy projectile that bounces off walls. So to get the best trajectory and power, you'll need to both think about where your targets are and how the projectile will bounce through the level to hit as many monster microbes as possible. Like many games in this genre, … Read more

There are quite a few file transfer tools on the App Store. The concept is simple and the technology makes the execution easy enough. Enter a URL on your computer's browser and you can access your iPhone or iPad while the app is open. You can then move files back and forth with relative ease. In these core functions, iFileExplorer HD performs very well. The load time is near instant, the transfer speed is fast, and file access is simple.

However, iFileExplorer HD goes above and beyond similar apps with additional features that make it well worth your attention. … Read more

In the Digital Age, receipts are more frustrating and harder to keep track of than ever before. They get lost easily and are time consuming to record and file away. So anything that helps to digitize them faster and consolidate them into a single storage space is a useful tool. Receipts HD is just such a tool, providing a number of options for saving, scanning, and recording your receipts. There are some severe limitations, but if you are in the app's target demographic, this tool could be very useful for you.

At first glance, Receipts HD looks needlessly complicated. … Read more

Another Dragon HD is a unique, interesting game with a cute art style and plenty of features to keep you addicted for days. There are some issues, of course, ranging from occasionally unresponsive controls to a lack of clear direction after the first couple of levels. Those things aside, this is a very unique and well-executed game with music that fits the ambiance of the setting, characters that look at home in the game world, and a fun and occasionally funny art style that works quite well.

The idea of the game is simple. You are a dragon rider and … Read more

Drag the Rope Maze HD Free is a puzzle game that requires you to drag rope in various directions without retracing your steps. While we were intrigued by the game's premise, the actual gameplay was confusing and difficult to maneuver.

The first thing we noticed with Drag the Rope Maze was that English is obviously not the developers' first language; some of the wording a bit awkward and difficult to understand. For example, the directions stated, "Once you tie the rope, different way will appear." Huh? Thankfully, a hand pointed us in the direction we need to … Read more
