Weather Pod

Weather Pod brings a refreshing experience to the whole ‘weather app’ theme, with a stunning display and many clever functions. The app has somehow achieved an applaudable fine balance between simplicity and advanced intelligence, with a cleverly integrated user interface that navigates and animates your weather details at demand.

Weather Pod lets you:

• Check your current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, precipitation and visibility.
• Predict the current probability of it raining (or snowing, sleeting…) in your current location.
• Check your weather forecast for the next 3 days ahead.
• View the sunrise and sunset times for your location.
• View the current moon phase data.
• Check the historical temperature statistics for your location.
• Check for any weather alerts within or near your location (the app will also notify you if any weather alerts are present).
• View a realtime satellite radar map for your location.

Weather Pod is quite literately a breath of fresh air. Weather discovery no longer needs to be a chore, as Weather Pod makes weather both fun and interesting.

Weather Tune

The app store has lots of weather apps… Some good, some okay, and some with annoyingly long titles! (developers – you know who you are!). The trouble with having many weather apps, obviously means that in general most of them are very similar in appearance & function… Well not always – Weather Tune has arrived on the app store, bringing a whole new meaning to what we’ve been used to with the standard ‘weather app’.

The first thing that you’ll notice when using Weather Tune is the alternative appearance  - almost like a custom built weather station/radio clock, obviously a lot of thought went into the development of the user interface to make it appear quite ‘uniquely’ pleasant & pleasing on the eye. Beyond the appearance is where the fun begins, I was amazed how each of the app’s features was so well integrated within the layout.

Getting down to the features, Weather Tune comes with:

• A ‘current’ weather display – showing data such as current weather conditions, temperature, humidity etc..
• A global weather news feature, updated regularly with the latest world climate news.
• A storm tracker map feature, showing any tropical storm or hurricane currently occupying the US states.
• A selection of online radio stations, when selected they cleverly activate a ‘glowing’ radio display on the app’s interface.

To sum weather Tune up in one word would be.. ‘impressive’.. I admire the unique approach that this app takes & the fusion of weather & music do really sum up the app’s title. A great addition for any iPad user.

Fourganize offers a fast-paced and social trivia experience unlike any other available for iOS users. Based on ranking (or “fourganizing”) 4 answers in a list, instead of the traditional multiple-choice format, with Fourganize you will never the same question twice.
Incorporating unorthodox, modern questions into many of the 13 categories available at launch, Fourganize is a great alternative to the many boring, slow trivia games in the App Store. Categories include “Video Games”, “Internet”, and even a “Food” category, in addition to more traditional categories like Geography, History, Baseball and Basketball.
What separates Fourganize from the rest of trivia app pack is it’s social features. In addition to simply challenging a friend, Fourganize’s online play is based on “jackpots”. Users can create a “jackpot”, and specify a category, entry fee (in-game coin currency), and end time. If the decide to make the jackpot public, anyone in the world can pay the fee and try their best to get the top score. When the jackpot expires, the winner gets the entire pot of coins. This allows players to ascend the world coin rankings and get themselves listed in the top 100 very quickly.
Aside from public jackpots, players can opt to play against all of their Facebook friends, or simply create a 2-player heads-up challenge. And the end of every game played in Fourganize, players are notified of the score’s ranking locally, among their own friends, and worldwide.
As players earn coins from winning jackpots, and answering questions perfectly in practice, they can spend their new coins on unlocking powerups (such as hints, a lifeline from Google, or combo multipliers), unlocking premium categories, or simply entering more jackpots

Sparkling Poker

Sparkling Poker has a unique gaming concept: one device (preferably an iPad) is used as a game table, while each player uses their own iOS device to play. Through bluetooth, so no internet connection is required, you can play anywhere.

As the game is presented on the iPad but not played on it, it is an ideal game for Airplay as well. So you can sit with many people on the couch, have the game table presented on your television, and everyone plays while holding their ‘cards’ (on their iPhones or iPods).

The game is completely free, only if you run out of chips during a tournament and don’t want to wait out while the game finishes, you can purchase additional chips if you prefer.

The only drawback is that you need quite a few iOS devices to play; at least three (for a two player game) and possibly six (for the maximum of five players).

The game plays well and is a lot of fun. The concept of playing with a local group of friends, while looking each other in the eye, is unique. Try the game out if you have enough devices among friends.
