Dark Sky (.99) by Jackadam is a unique weather app that focuses only on one thing: rain (and snow). While this may not be as big of a deal for hot and dry areas, it is pretty useful in other areas that actually do get storms quite often. This originally started out on Kickstarter and [...]

Spellsword ([substring:0:500] Spellsword ($0.99) by Everplay is as addictive as they come.

There is the story of a sword that is [...]

Flight+ ( Flight+ ($2.99) by International Airport Flight Track Technologies is a beautiful companion for your travels (separate iPad version also available for $4.99).

Whoovie (Free) by Whoovie is the app for movie nerds. Let’s face it — movies are amazing.

#todo (0:500.99) by Landasia Soft is a “smarter” way to look at task management. Yes, I’m aware that there are a lot of todo apps out in the store, and they pretty much do the same thing. However, #todo caught me by surprise because it’s a bit different from what you have normally come across. [...]
As a writer here at AppAdvice, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve gone through my fair share of plain text editor apps on both the iPhone and iPad. As Shawn Blanc said, “You can’t throw a rock at the iTunes and Mac App Stores without hitting a minimalistic writing app.” Yes, there are [...]
