IFTTT stands for “IF This Then That”.  This app enables users to create “recipes” which consist of a trigger (This) and an action (That).  If the trigger is set off, the action is taken.  A trigger can be anything from “when I am tagged in a Facebook photo” to “when I take a picture on my iPhone”.  The actions range from “send me an email” to “update a spreadsheet on Google

Of all the sports apps out there, to me this one is the most important to have.  If you consider yourself a sports fan and don’t have this one, think again.  ESPN ScoreCenter is the app to have for all sports info.  You need to know what the score of the Knicks game is?  You want to see where the Yankees are in the standings? Well that’s a bad example because the Yankees are

I would like to start of by welcoming everyone back to the iOS App Center.  I did miss you all.  I have not posted since September for a myriad of reason, most importantly because I got a job.  But don't fret, I didn't forget about this blog and now we are back in business.  One of the benefits of having a job is that I now

Apparently I am wicked late getting into this game.  I downloaded this and was really pumped about it and showed my brother-in-law who informed me that it had been out since 2010 or even earlier.  So while I am still going to review this game/app, I understand that many of you may already have it and are way better at it than I am. If you are in that group, bear with me on this

Holy $#!& this app is hilarious. I gotta give props to my friend/editor for pointing this one out to me. Before I tell you about this, I need to warn you that this app is pretty useless and idiotic, but made me, my family, and a bunch of my friends laugh till our stomachs hurt. Brace yourself for some sheer stupidity. VidRhythm is a simple, yet enjoyable app that takes just a few minutes

Zynga has done it again! Well sorta. I’m not really sure yet. They are still riding the wave of two player turn based games with their newest additions to the “With Friends” lineup. Gems with Friends is unlike the others of its kind. Almost all of the other “With Friends” games are based on a popular board game. As far as I know, Gems is not.  I am having a hard time explaining how you play

We have made it through the week of photo apps.  I know it's quite sad and you may feel nostalgic.  Lets reminisce for a second... The week got off to a strong start with a photo editing app called SnapSeed.  This app lets you add customizable filters or tweak individual settings like brightness and white balance to manipulate you images.  Next, we head over to

It's here!  The last day the week of photo apps.  All of the apps this week up until now can truly be considered photography apps.  This one is not technically in that category, but I think it fits in just fine.

If you haven't heard of Instagram, it's probably time to get out from the rock that you're living under.  Since the release just about two years ago, this app has become THE photo editing and posting app.  I have already given you ways to take new photos (Photosynth), edit previous taken photos (SnapSeed, Pic Jointer, & TouchofColor), and sell your photos (Foap). &

TouchofColor free sounds pretty much like what it does.  I thought you would be able to add colors to your pictures, but instead you take colors away.  All but one color that is.  That's right, TouchofColor free is a color accent application. For those of you who do not know what color accent is, you can remove all but one color so that the whole photo is black and white with, say

So far this week I have given you ways to edit your photos, sell them, and even take panoramic pictures.  Today's app falls in the photo editing category, but not in the way you might think. Pic Jointer is a photo collage creation app.  You can add up to four photos at a time to create beautiful collages to enhance your pictures.  Customizable features include: the color and

Just a quick update! I am sad to say that SnapSeed, while still an incredible app, is no longer free, making it the first app I have reviewed that you must pay to get.  Keep an eye out for another sale and I will do the same.  If you see a sale, comment on this post and I will help spread the word!

Many people, myself included until recently, walk around with either a wallet stuffed or a key ring full of loyalty cards and other fobs (love that word).  I had one for groceries, one for the gym, a few for stores, and   one for the movies.  I got so sick of having these things in my wallet and on my key chain that I took them off and left them in my drawer at home.  Whats

As far as messaging apps go, I am usually not much of a fan.  I always felt like sending a text was easier then going into some app to send a message.  Why did I need to have more than one way of messaging people? All of those thoughts were before I downloaded and started using Voxer.  Now I use it for pretty much anything besides a normal text. "Voxer is a Walkie

So I just got a text from a friend telling me to download a new app called Trivial Free.  He said its a decent trivia app that is in the same game style as the "With Friends" and "With Buddies" games.  Now I didn't think much of it since the last 3 or 4 apps recommended by my buddy were just awful.  But, as he assured me this one was legit, I downloaded it and started a

Zynga is the creator of the well known apps Hanging with Friends, Scramble with Friends, and most popular game Words with Friends. They have recently added Matching with Friends to their lineup as well. All of these games can be played against friends, as you can connect your Facebook account to the game, or random opponents. Please note that all of these games both have free and paid versions.
