Review: Total Agenda

Matt Demers April 29, 2011 30

One of the things that's always frustrated me about Google Tasks is that it's mercilessly tethered to other Google services. You cannot access it by itself; it's either present through Gmail, Google Calendar, iGoogle or throwing https://mail.google.com/tasks/...

Review: SpeedX on Android

Matt Demers April 25, 2011 26

Even though I've upgraded my aging Milestone to an Atrix, I still don't use my phone that often for gaming. Aside from a few puzzle games, there just seems to be a lack of titles that hold my interest. I'm not the type that likes to play games for long stints...

Review: Robot Unicorn Attack

Matt Demers April 22, 2011 37

The Internet's given us a great many things, including a boatload of Flash games with which to waste our time. Last year, when there seemed to be a bit of a lull with them in favour of Facebook games like Farmville, one glorious product emerged: Robot Unicorn...

Review Double Shot: Catch and I Journal

Matt Demers April 5, 2011 12

It's not often I tackle two apps in the same review. However, today's a bit different: the apps I'm looking at, Catch and I Journal, are meant to be used together. Catch is note-capturing tool similar to Evernote, while I Journal is a journaling tool that uses...

Review: Meganoid for Android

Matt Demers April 4, 2011 31

One of the things I've enjoyed about my new Atrix is the ability to play more games at full blast, so to speak. There's a distinct difference between my overclocked-to-hell-and-back Milestone and this dual-cored beast, and it really shows when you run some...

Review: ZDBox for Android

Matt Demers April 2, 2011 83

Previously, I had a lot of different tools to do what ZDBox does all at once; I'd use 3G Watchdog to keep an eye on bandwidth, Battery Indicator for battery percentage in my notifications bar, Advanced Task Killer if the situation arose, etc etc. While these...
