App Review: The Treasures of Mystery Island

Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Graphics are great, the storyline is interesting, the replay value is high (20 episodes, over 12 mini games, and trophies), and there’s a lot of unique elements to this game, plus there’s a feature to create multiple files/players.
Cons: Unfortunately the game did crash on me a few times while trying to either create or switch players/files.
Overall: I found myself playing this game for hours and even after I beat it I went back for more. Its a great app!

You can check out Mystery Island in iTunes for $3.99.  Click here to be brought to the app store page.

Viva Flip Hexe Case

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros:: Very soft inside on both front and back, simple classy look, elegant and stylish. Very high quality fit and finish, linen style texture with a copper type color.
Cons: Chrome Bezel still exposed.
Overall: The Viva Hexe Flip Case is a high quality case with great fit and finish.  Great screen protection and a very soft interior. The Essential Case has a great feel in the hand and is starting to convert me to a flip style case lover.  The cutouts are all spot on although the camera hole will seem a bit small at first but it does not interfere with picture taking.

This case can be purchased directly from Viva Cases for $26.90 by clicking here.  be sure to check out all their other offerings.

Monster Turbine In-Ear Headphones

Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Fantastic audio quality, strong mids, clear highs, powerful (not hard hitting) bass. Leather carrying pouch.
Cons: No inline microphone, can be uncomfortable to use.
Overall: Great pair of headphones, highly recommended for $100. The only genre I found that these did not excel at is classical, for any modern music these will definitely please you. Due to the overall length of the drive enclosure it can  rub against the back of your ear making them uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Review: CaseCrown Flip Shell Case

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Great design and overall look, provides nice amount of protection, & it’s inexpensive.

App Review: Graves Robber

Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: great graphics, smooth gameplay, lots of action
Cons: Overwhelming with all the controls, items and enemies.  Normal price is a bit higher at $4.99
Overall: Overall the game feels complicated.  There are a lot of items on the screen, tons of zombies coming at you and reloading can be troublesome at times.  At the current sale price $.99 it’s a great deal, you can spend a good amount of time playing this game, but it’s not a quick pick up and play game, it is a bit more involved.  If you’re looking for a 3D RPG with 1st and 3rd person views, this is the game for you.  Get it directly from the itunes app store here.

AT&T Navigator powered by Telenav

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Very accurate, simple easy to read user interface, powered by a respected name in the navigation industry; Telenav, live traffic alerts.
Cons: Maps not stored on phone and is real time over the cellular network so if you have no cell service you are out of luck, subscription based at $9.99 a month if you choose the monthly billing, charged to your AT&T bill.
Overall: AT&T Navigator performs quite well on the road and is extremely user-friendly and pleasant on the drivers eyes.  I thoroughly enjoyed using this application and service but there are a few things that are a bit of a concern.  First, as mentioned above, the maps are dependent on cellular service which means no cell service equals no navigational application, the other is the monthly or yearly subscription fee.  At $119.88 a year if you choose monthly billing or $69.99 for the yearly subscription you can purchase a navigational app with maps loaded on your phone and only pay a one time fee.

This app performed very well and if you don’t mind the cons, is a very viable well thought out navigational unit.  Learn more about Telenav by clicking here and visiting their website. You can access the application in the iTunes App Store by clicking here.
