Apple’s free app of the week: TextGrabber

June 16, 2016 by macjeff

Apple on Thursday updated its App of the Week promotion with the productivity app TextGrabber. This means that for the next 7 days, you’ll be able to download the popular OCR translation app for free on both iPhone and iPad—a solid savings of $5.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with TextGrabber, it easily and quickly scans, translates and saves your chosen text or QR-codes from virtually any printed material. All you have to do is take a picture, and TG handles the rest.

From the App Store Editors’ Notes:

Capturing printed words and magically morphing them into easy-to-edit digital text is TextGrabber’s bread and butter. But we love it nearly as much for the sci-fi cool factor of being able to instantly translate Italian restaurant menus, French Salon magazines, and Japanese graphic novels into our native language.

And here is a video of the app in action:

TextGrabber is available in the App Store for free.

Crashing Season Is a Hilariously Entertaining Game for iOS

June 16, 2016 by macjeff

Every once in awhile a great game comes along and it keeps you coming back for more and more, long after the first few minutes of gameplay.

Games like this are rare, but they renew our faith in the creative abilities of iOS developers.

Crashing Season is a brand-new game that’s very fun to play and a breath of fresh air in an otherwise crowded and cluttered category.

Featuring many levels, colorful characters, and a unique gameplay scenario, Crashing Season, by Koukoi Games Ltd., is hopefully on the right path to becoming a huge hit in the community.

Concept and Gameplay:

I’ve played hundred, if not thousands of iOS games during my time as a reviewer, but very few of the titles I write about survive on my devices past the review period.

Crashing Season is a game that I’ve continued to play long after I’ve reviewed it, and I find myself starting a quick game throughout the day just to break up the monotony.

The goal of Crashing Season is to guide one of the five animal characters around various levels using the left or right side of your screen to steer them. You must attack enemies using blunt force and the environment around you.

Whether you want to knock out foes with a direct hit or unleash a flurry of chaos by crashing into a pile of rocks and launching them towards the bad guys, you’re free to play the game how you like.

When it comes to graphics and audio, I found Crashing Season to be pretty top-notch. Visuals are cartoony but detailed, and I fell in love with the background music and sound effects. I think both artistic factors definitely contribute to making this game easy to get lost in.

Features:

Crashing Season currently offers a small handful of worlds for players to journey through, each featuring a few levels and a final boss to conquer.

The one thing I really like about games that are level based is the fact that developers can frequently release updates brand-new content, keeping the game fresh.

A unique gameplay feature of Crashing Season is multiplayer mode, where you can go head-to-head against others around the world for glory and bragging rights.

Multiplayer is the only incredibly fun and amusing, but it’s a great way to keep playing the game even if you beat all of the levels.

If you enjoy character customization, Crashing Season features that, too. You can purchase various accessories and boosts for your characters using in-game currency is earned by leveling up.

Value:

Crashing Season is available to download from the App Store for free and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad. The game is free of ads, but you can choose to purchase currency packs if you want to speed up the process of unlocking characters and accessories.

Overall, Crashing Season is an incredibly fun and entertaining game that I can’t recommend enough.

All of the different features come together to make a game that’s both challenging and humorous. I definitely suggest giving it a try.

Crashing Season requires iOS 8.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
