If you have an iPad or an android mobile, you are sure to have downloaded plenty of fun applications onto your phone.

If you regularly download applications, then you will know that there is an application for almost everything these days. For example. those who like playing games at OnlinePoker.com on their PC are sure to enjoy the Casino and Roulette 3D web apps available for the iPad, while a journalist would benefit from downloading the Sky News app. For those fitness fanatics out there, this blog post will show you some of most popular healthy living applications available.

Yoga Stretch

If you want to tone up, then thanks to Yoga Stretch you can enjoy a yoga class from the comfort of your front room. To begin your workout, you simply choose from the wide range of soothing background sounds, before following the voice prompts and images for each pose. You can even create a custom session to suit your skill level.

One Hundred Push Ups

The app provides a six week training programme which gradually and steadily helps you to develop your stamina and strength. The big challenge at the end of the programme, is to pass the 100 push up test.

Run this

Scoops – iPhone App Review QuickHitter

Dan — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 22:29:26 +0000

Ice cream falls from the sky, it’s everyone’s dream. Can you avoid the healthy alternatives as your cone approaches the moon in this simple motion controlled game? Is this game full of unhealthy levels of win? Check out our 30 second review.

Is it worth your time?

Try It-I really like the fact that you can play the game while drinking a coffee. The game is simplistic and straightforward but what more are you looking for in a free game?. Keep it on your phone to kill one minute per play and you’ll be happy. Plus it’s got ice cream and hamburgers. Yum!

Racing Live! – iPhone App Review

Dan — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:33:41 +0000

Do you enjoy the smell of burning rubber? Do you like 3D racers? Well we hope you don’t like them that much as we review Racing Live! a car racing based never ending menu selecting time wasting MMO where you’ll wonder where the time went and why you aren’t playing something better.

Is it worth your time?

Deny It-The game has been overrun by Jailbroken iPhones with unlimited Prestige Points. It will ruin your experience at higher levels in the game. There isn’t enough interactivity in this game. Aside from a few sound effects, it could be anything other than a racing game.

This game will keep you coming back, but not for the right reasons, so we rate it: Winless
