Review: Cover Photo Maker for Facebook Free customizes your cover photo

Cover Photo Maker for Facebook Free lets users easily create their own custom Facebook cover photos. While a few features were off limits in the free version we tested, we were still pleased by the number of tools available to us and their ease of use.

First, to get started with Cover Photo Maker for Facebook, you'll need to choose a layout from a pretty large menu. We opted for the three blocks, side by side. Tapping each block gave us access to our iPhone's albums, where we selected a picture. With just the touch of your fingertip, … Read more

Review: Zombie Piano delivers a fun concept in a not-quite functional package

In Zombie Piano, tap the keys on the onscreen piano and zombie sounds will emanate from your iPad in an approximation of that tone. The concept is funny to a degree, and while it almost certainly is an attempt to capitalize on the current popularity of zombies in pop culture, it fails to provide enough of an engaging experience to hit the mark.

To be certain, Zombie Piano is not a serious app. You are not supposed to be able to make music with this app and it's not surprising that the zombie sounds barely sound different from each … Read more

Review: Bill Reminder Free BillManager helps you track your payments

If you're buried under a sea of bills, this app might help you dig yourself out. Bill Reminder Free BillManager will remind you when it's time to pay any bill you tell it to. It's nowhere near as helpful as a full budgeting app or even Google Calendar, but it does what it says on the box.

Bill Reminder Free BillManager lets you create multiple templates and bill reminders for days or months. Sadly, you can't set bill reminders to reoccur on the same day every month. You have to create them every single month, which … Read more

Review: Find the strangers in Hidden Objects Wilderness Free

Hidden Objects Wilderness FREE lets you find all sorts of silly things in a decent looking wilderness setting. It's a little too easy and rather unattractive, but it's fine if you're bored and just need a simple distraction.

When you first launch this app, you're hit with weird ads for other mobile games. It takes a few taps to get them to go away. The entire game has some of those unresponsive quirks, actually. Though the game promises "hauntingly beautiful" rainforest landscapes, they look like bad cardboard cutouts. The whole thing is incredibly cluttered … Read more

Review: Deck out your phone with Beautiful Widgets Free

Beautiful Widgets Free has stunning, useful widgets that all conform to a sleek theme. However, the app locks most of its useful settings and options behind a paywall. It's not too expensive, but you might prefer a free alternative.

The free app lets you preview slimmed-down versions of the app's 12 different widgets. These include weather, battery life, and other settings displays. They certainly live up to the beautiful name, but most of the options to adjust them to fit your phone require a $3 upgrade. If you don't pay up, you can't do much outside … Read more

Review: Balance your checkbook using Simple Checkbook Ledger Free

Simple Checkbook Ledger Free provides the experience of managing funds with a ledger to those users who miss that method by offering a virtual copy of the old-style, paper checkbook register.

The installation of Simple Checkbook Ledger Free goes quite easy. Once the small application has been downloaded, the user follows a step by step procedure, entering in all the accounts they wish to create a ledger for. After the initial registration the app works just like the original. Columns are provided for the check number, date, description, and the amount. With the click of a button the ledger automatically … Read more

Review: Learn how to multiply using Times Tables Trainer FREE

Times Tables Trainer FREE is an application that makes learning multiplication tables a little more entertaining. It is a themed application that encourages kids to learn multiplication tables and have fun at the same time.

Times Tables Trainer FREE is an incredibly well executed, yet easy-to-use program. Once the app installs it opens a basic interface. The main menu consists of a start button and a settings button. Once the start button has been pressed the game begins. Starting with level one, which covers all the one multiples, the application goes up to level 10. In order to pass a … Read more

Review: View disk space, manage mounted volumes with FreeSpace Tab for Mac

As a basic snapshot of available and used disk space, FreeSpace Tab for Mac works well and easily integrates into the Mac operating system.

Once initiated through the applications folder, FreeSpace Tab for Mac starts, but has no menu to speak of. The application installs a small icon on the Mac's top menu bar. Clicking on this brings up a drop-down listing of all available drives. A bar also visually represents the space used and what remains. This is clear and easy to read, and most Mac users will have no problem finding their way. Outside drives can also … Read more

Review: Control backups with FileFort Free Mac Backup Software for Mac

The lack of options in native backup utilities means some Mac users may look to outside programs for more features. FileFort Free Mac Backup Software for Mac adds flexibility to backups, as well as some useful options, and would be a helpful utility for many users.

FileFort Free Mac Backup Software for Mac is free, but it attempts to install other programs from the developer, including an Internet tool bar, during setup. There were no problems during download, but the user must accept a lengthy licensing agreement to operate the program. User instructions were not obviously available, but there is … Read more

Review: Mobile Document Viewer (Free) is an ad-heavy, basic reader app

If you just need to view (not edit) documents, Office Documents Viewer is a free download that lets you read just about any sort of Office file. It's ad-heavy, but it certainly works in a pinch.

The most prominent aspect of the reader is that it sticks animated ads in any file you try to read with it. They usually don't get in the way, but it's still annoying. Office Documents Viewer displays text and HTML files smoothly, but it has to convert other files before they show up. This can take a long time if the … Read more
