Who Knew?
Cost: FREE
I love free apps. I like the pay apps as well, but there’s just something about the free ones. Well, first of all they’re free and that makes me happy. I’ve found some that are nothing but flash without substance, mostly advertisements. A friend introduced me to an application yesterday called Facts. I love those Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader books that you can pick up at any book store. There’s all kinds of random facts about people, science, old laws, among many other things.
Facts is just that; full of all kinds of random facts that will brighten even the foggiest of days. The very first one that popped up under people yesterday was that women blink twice as many times a day as men do. I find that both hilarious and interesting. To top everything off with this app is that it has thousands of these things ranging from history to superstitions. There’s only one small thing that bothers me with it. The pictures at the top of each fact is random and repeats a lot. All the facts are different, so this is just a minor issue.
You have nothing to lose, except that it’s free only for a limited time. I’m sure that with each update, the facts will be renewed or new ones will be added. I recommend this app to everyone!

Quite possibly the most fun you will ever have with a word game. I really can’t say enough good things about this game! There’s not a single downside to Wurdle. Drawing ideas from a crossword puzzle, Semi Secret Software has made a masterpiece of one player goodness. Think of it as Boggle on speed. You have a timer, and you need to find or make as many words as possible. There’s even online leaderboards which makes it that much more addictive. For under two bucks you can’t go wrong, unless you can’t read, and in that case you’ll never know what I say about this game anyway! If you just want a great casual game for your iPhone, buy this app. If you’re looking for a good time, buy this app!
Just when you think that the force can’t get any stronger, you get a game like this. With excellent in game visuals and touch gameplay Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is an excellent game for the iPhone. This is one of those games that shows the power of iPhone, and compared to the Playstation Portable and the Nintendo DS, this game looks great. You don’t have the freedom that you do on those games, but the people who buy this app for their phone are buying it for their phone, not a game system. Now for the bad… the game is short, real short. The Force Unleashed, when compared to the PSP and DS versions is cheap in price at $9.99. I was surprised at how short it actually is but just the fact that you get to see Starkiller slash with a lightsaber is enough to replay over and over. In other words; if you love Star Wars as much as I do, then buy this game.
