In this little cardio trainer app you will be able to have a permanent partner who will help you to achieve all of your fitness goals, especially when it comes to running and jogging. You will be able to use this app for all of your running needs, also if you ride bikes you can use this.  It is also great for any avid hikers that want to keep track of their routes, and also any other type of workout. You will be able to use the ghost mode where you race against tracks that you have already done. There is also a pedometer that reacts in real time meaning that your GPS will be right there along with you as you are going along. You can record the path you are on, the pace that you are running at, and you can also track the amount of calories burned and upload data to the website. There is also a mode where you can record your voice input as well as an autopause feature if you get distracted.

Conclusion:
This app is a great way to start getting into shape.  How many people first start out saying they will exercise but when they don’t keep track of it or hold themselves accountable they find that these goals and ambitions quickly slip away.  If you don’t stay on top of things and organize them they usually fall apart.  Now with the help of the CardioTrainer app you can track your progress and stay on top of your exercise to help you meet all of your goals.  You can look at the history page to motivate yourself and watch yourself progress through the different stages of fitness.  You can also be competitive by looking at the high scores feature to see where you rank among other athletes out there.  You can also use the app to do a bit of uploading so that all of your workouts are online.  This way you can share them with friends and family over Facebook and other social networking means.  You can use this app to keep track of not only your running and jogging, but also any other type of workout that you may indulge in throughout the week.

This app has been given a really good rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Bonsai Blast

Bonsai Blast is a puzzle shooter game.  When I started playing it instantly reminded me of Heavenly Sword. Yes, they are very different games but both of them can be described by just one word, beautiful. It is another group the colored balls game, however it’s the most original game of the genre.

There is so much stuff going on in this game it could be a proper game for PS3. You have an old arrow shaped cannon that shoots marbles of different colors. A heavy rock is pushing down a bunch of different colored marbles down a road. You have to prevent the marbles from falling into a hole with a spinning Yin-Yang sing on the top, by shooting the properly colored marble into at least 2 marbles of the same color. When they disappear you get points and/or power ups (sometimes even power-downs in a form of a black cloud that makes your cannon not function properly).

The cannon can teleport from one platform to another to get a better vantage point. Power-ups come in a form of the elements;  wind (makes the marbles go back where they came from), rain (washes away some of the marbles) and in the form of fire balls which destroy any marble, light balls which destroy a few marbles but in a beautiful sparkly way, and earth balls, which destroy all marbles of the same color.

All levels are available in the free version of the game. The levels are grouped into chapters that have the most Zen names, “Morning”, “Afternoon” and “Evening”. Some levels are similar in terms of the kind of maze that is used, but they are different in terms of design.

It has simple but incredibly beautiful graphics. You’ll notice right away from the menu that this game is not like any other game. The music, the sounds, the beautiful gardens with magical Sakura flower petals blowing in the wind and just the whole concept of the game is amazing, beautiful and harmonic. I think they had a Feng Shui professional on the team, because this game just radiates perfect balance.



Smooth gameplay and animations, along with the beautiful Chinese ink art inspired graphics makes this one of my all time favorite android games.

Caligo Chaser

Caligo Chaser is a hack and slash RPG game by Korean developer recently ported to Android platform. The game features best graphics I have ever seen on any mobile game of this genre. Controls are what you may expect on the touchscreen device, left thumb contols movement with joystick and right thumb hacks, slashes and uses magic skills. You also have to navigate game menu using your left D-pad and right buttons (big one for OK, small one for BACK) which is something you need to get used to since it is not intuitive for touch screen device, but items in the menu are so small there is no way it would be useful otherwise.


You start off in Emporion town, where you will see various NPCs, a bridge and two exits into wilderness, where you can’t go yet. You will need to do some talking first! Your character is Private Knight, and there is a big story to follow on how you got there and what your agenda is. You will notice that NPCs with exclamation (or question) mark (!,?) above their heads are the ones you should talk to, in order to get the quest, some item or training. Completing quests is what makes you advance through the game.


After some talking with banker, who wants his 100,000 Leone (gold coin currency) back, Alex, who seems to be your mentor, and town trainer, you will be able to go out of the city. In the first town, there are two exits, one is to the south and the other all the way on the east side. Don’t make my mistake and go to the latter, mobs there are just too much for you at this point. Proceed to the southern gate.


The map in this game is huge, you will go through several cities, which makes it more RPG than hack and slash game because you will spend quite some time in cities looking for some quests and what not.



When you enter the combat area you will be approached by creatures from left and right, after cleaning one screen you move on to another. As you move forward the mobs seem to get stronger and stronger. When you clear the whole stage you have 30 seconds to pick up what’s on the ground (leone,various items) and some bonus stashes fall from the sky for you to hack on. If you get killed you will be resurrected, if you have the scroll of resurrection that is. After each major fight you will get a ranking which will be stored on paper, for your later reference I guess.


After a few quests, you will get the skill stone which gets you a special skill in the combat. There are plenty of various skills in the game, so you become some sort of wizard if you chose to allocate skill points to spirit and intellect. Each level-up you get to spend 5 points on your masteries such as strength, dexterity, luck, stamina, spirit, or intellect, which is pretty basic for every RPG game.

Fruit Ninja

Fruit Ninja is genuinely beautiful casual game with simple yet addictive game-play. Your game will take the role of Ninja in this game, slicing various juicy fruits as they appear on the screen in 3D. It was recently brought to android platform and is insanely popular.


There are two modes to play, Zen and Classic. In Zen mode you have 90 seconds and in that time you need to slice as much fruit as possible and get as much points for that. Slashing 3 or more fruits at once doubles your points. In classic time this doesn't matter, what matters is precision as you have bombs flying around that you don’t want to slice and also if you miss 3 fruits, you are over!


Execution of the game is quite nice, it’s 3D graphics are beautiful and smooth. Background music is what you may expect, relaxing Asian tunes. The game navigation is given more charm by adding slicing elements into it; for example to chose game mode you need to slice appropriate fruit.

The game also features a  rich achievements scheme, where for certain actions you get rewarded with a badge. This is worth mentioning because social layer of this game is present with OpenFeint and you can compete with your friends to see who scores higher and gets most achievements. With achievements you unlock new blades and backgrounds which you can change in Dojo.

Overall the game looks and feels great, and deserves the attention it is getting on various platforms.

Smart Keyboard


Not every Android handset is created equal. Despite the recent trend for 100 per cent touchscreen devices there’s still a lot of interest in those phones with physical interfaces, namely Qwerty keyboards.
Even the most dedicated touch-screen evangelist will admit that you can’t beat having proper keys under your digits and typing on the stock Android virtual keyboard can sometimes be a frustrating task.
That’s where Smart Keyboard Pro comes in. It’s not really an application but a new virtual keyboard.
