DotMemo is as basic as any app can get. The problem, however -- and this crops up a lot in apps developed to take on that "simplicity before functionality" mantle -- is that DotMemo is too simple, at least for most people jotting down notes while on the go.

The idea behind the app is very simple. Open DotMemo and you are greeted with a white screen that says "note here." You tap the white space and can start typing. That's it. There are arrows to move your cursor back and forth on the screen (… Read more

The Picture Match Game is yet another matching game with a short timer attempting to capitalize on the success of other games like Bejeweled or Candy Crush Saga. The game, which provides very few prompts or rules, features hard-to-see images that are supposed to be matched and a grueling, unforgiving timer. It's not only nothing like those other games, but is a frustrating, ultimately boring game that you will probably give up on before you ever properly defeat the first level.

Upon installation you can choose between either Beginner or Advanced levels. Beginner is a smaller map, but is … Read more

At first glance, Bunny Hill looks like a winner. It has the cute but accessible design of a modern iOS classic and the character is immediately lovable. Shaped like a block … Read more

The very name of Air Missile Commander calls to mind classic '70s and '80s arcade games like Missile Command. The comparison is apt, as this game takes many of its gameplay elements from the basic "destroy before you are destroyed" style of play that was popular in that era. It has a few flourishes, however, and despite a relatively simplistic interface and graphics, Air Missile Commander becomes a fairly fun game as you progress in levels.

The idea of Air Missile Commander is simple. You are given 100 missiles and must direct them at the tanks on screen. … Read more
