Mr Reader
Mr. Reader has both style and substance. The interface is intuitive and clean, and background updating makes it very fast. The app allows for a great deal of feed management and has a thumbpad for easy navigation. Like most readers, there is support for offline reading via the likes of Instapaper and social network integration, but Mr. Reader even allows articles to be sent to a Kindle, Mac and more.

A critical darling, River of News focues on simplicity. The key feature, "infinite scrolling" allows readers to navigate their feeds using simple gestures in a clean interface. The app syncs with Google Reader in real time, has extensive social network integration and just looks good.

Basketball games have had a fairly checkered history on the iOS. With the notable exception of the stellar 
Visually, the game also isn’t going to turn any heads. While it does work as a reasonable facsimile for the sport, it lacks the detail to be able to distinguish players from a distance. Further compounding matters, the framerate dips into the single digits in order to animate dunks, signature dribbles, or fancy moves with any sense of grace. It is almost as if the game were built to utilize hardware that doesn’t exist in the iPhone 4, or even the iPad 2, which I used to check my first impressions – the same issues are prevalent, even on the newer, faster device.
Even more disturbing is the frequent visual glitches that plague the game. It is not out of the question to come out of a time-out only to find the audience completely missing, players lacking faces, or even having the entire basketball court completely missing. The title reeks of being rushed to market without the proper opportunity to completely Q/A the end product.

Flying Defense is a mix between a castle defense game and Angry Birds in that the gamer must fling their soldiers out of a cannon and hit oncoming monsters. The enemies aren’t really monsters in the Halloween ghoul sense, they’re more like flies on steroids with red eyes. They look quite menacing.
After they are thrown, they have to walk all the way back to the cannon to be thrown again. For the short and fast character this is no problem, but for the other two it is as they walk slower. To help, there is assistance available from power ups – including fast shoes for faster walking, snow to freeze the enemies in their tracks and lighting to slow them down as well.

As the name suggests, iAudition enables users to record and edit audio files wherever they are. One of the neatest functions is the ability to send completed files as MP3s directly to anyone via email or FTP site. Such functionality immediately makes iAudition a much faster app than those that rely on a PC connection to convert and send files.

Whether it’s deciding who gets to ride shotgun, or who gets the last piece of pizza, rock paper scissors plays in integral part in most friendships. Still, in our age of social media and digital connections, why bother using hands and fingers to play? Why even be in the same room (or ZIP code, for that matter)? Age of Monsters is a game where friends can challenge each other to asynchronous rock, paper, scissors battles from their iOS devices whenever they want. Each battle is also depicted as an epic face-off between two monsters selected by the players.
The animations are amazing and easily the best part of the game. Watching how all the different monsters act and react is very entertaining. The lack of an option to play a match with a random opponent severely limits the game’s playability though so players should make sure to share the game with their friends if they plan on playing it much. The game looks great, it’s simple, and the matches are satisfying. This game is worth a look for a few minutes of fun here and there.
