"If there is an app for that"

Movie and TV Junkies Will Love Tubi TV

May 18, 2016 by macjeff

Tubi TV makes it easy for you to stream popular movies and TV shows on your iPhone or iPad.

Featuring over 40,000 movies and shows, this free app from adRise Inc. includes an impressive catalog that’s sure to keep you entertained for hours on end.

Concept and Functionality:

Tubi TV is designed to be your go-to app for streaming content directly to your device, and we have to say that it achieves this goal pretty well.

You won’t find recent releases or epic blockbusters in the lineup, but the app features many shows and movies that aren’t available on other popular streaming services.

Like many other streaming apps, Tubi TV is designed for easy navigation and a positive user experience.

With Tubi TV it’s incredibly easy to peruse all of the content that the app offers, and we were surprised to see how many categories and subcategories there are.

Whether you’re looking for something basic like dramas or movies for a specific purpose (fright night, extreme adventures, etc), you shouldn’t have any problems with finding something to watch.

As you read above, Tubi TV offers all content for free. The app does include video ads within content, but this really isn’t any different from watching regular Tubi TV.

A few ads are a small inconvenience in exchange for an amazing catalog of over 40,000 movies and shows.

Features:

We’re big Chromecast fans here at TheiPhoneAppReview.com so we were a bit disappointed to see that Chromecast isn’t supported in Tubi TV. Cordcutters are likely going to be interested in what the app offers and streaming sticks are a major part of the revolution to break free from cable and satellite companies.

Other than that, Tubi TV includes an impressive number of features like a streamlined media player and a queue for keeping track of everything you want to watch.

Value:

Tubi TV is available to download from the App Store for free and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad. We didn’t see any in-app purchases, so there doesn’t seem to be an option to subscribe to a service and remove advertisements.

Overall, Tubi TV is definitely an app to try if you’re looking for a massive amount of free movies and television shows.

Tubi TV – Watch Free Movies, TV Shows, Drama, Comedy & Horror videos requires iOS 7.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Switch Things Up With Color Switch

May 18, 2016 by macjeff

The whole world is obsessed with Color Switch. But, does this game deserves all the attention? Is this the best game of the year so far?

Maybe not THE best, but it is still one of the best. With its addictive gameplay, interesting obstacles, upbeat music and colorful surroundings, Color Switch has conquered the iOS devices of more than 50 million users.

This is maybe due to intensive but relatively smart marketing the developers do on Facebook, but still it is a number that needs to respected.

Let’s see the features, design and concept of the game.

Design and Concept

The game has extremely unique design and concept that was new to the market when the app first launched.

Now, there are many clones and copies of the game that simply want to cash in on the popularity of Color Switch. When people copy you, that guarantees that you are doing something great.

So, the design and the concept of the game I outstanding and that is the base of the app’s success. The gameplay requires from you to pass through the circles with the ball at the right time and through the right color.

But things get a lot harder as you progress, and we think that the gameplay should’ve been little easier.

In this way it can get frustratingly hard at the beginning. But on the other hand, maybe, that is making the game more addictive.

Features and difficulty

You must control the ball pass it through the circles and different shapes and avoid all obstacles.

In the game there are several powerups that will largely help you when the going gets tough. You need to explore these powerups yourself, however you must watch out, if you touch or try to pass through other color, you will lose the game and return to the start.

Since recently there are new game modes and over 50 new levels and 3 new balls added. So, if you know about the game and you think you have mastered it you have a new challenge. These features in combination with the gameplay are making the game irresistibly addictive. The music and the sounds play large roll in this as well.

In terms of difficulty this game is somewhere in the range of medium and hard games. It’s not too hard, but it can really get frustratingly difficult at some point.

Is that level of difficulty a good thing or a bad thing? You be the judge. All we can say is it gave Color Switch, and previously Flappy Bird (the original king of difficult games) worldwide attention and success.

Conclusion

With the smooth design, lovely ball jumping physics and overall with the interesting concept and idea, Color Switch is still the game to beat this year and it is still the most cloned game at this particular moment.

But let’s face it, no matter what, it’s all about the game and this game is fun, enjoyable and addictive.

Color Switch requires iOS 7.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. A small expedited fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

As was rumored yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook during his India trip announced an accelerator program for iOS developers. The facility is expected to open in early 2017.

According to a press release issued yesterday, the iOS app design and development accelerator will open in Bengaluru, the home of India’s startup scene.

The initiative will support engineering talent and accelerate growth in the populous country’s iOS developer community, which counts tens of thousands of programmers that write iPhone and iPad apps.

"India is home to one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial iOS development communities in the world," said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

"With the opening of this new facility in Bengaluru, we’re giving developers access to tools which will help them create innovative apps for customers around the world."

Apple’s team will instruct developers on best practices regarding iOS development, helping them hone their skills and transform the design, quality and performance of their apps on the iOS platform.

Weekly briefings will provide one-on-one app reviews for developers, support and guidance on Apple’s Swift programming language and more. According to developer placement firm Toptal, jobs requesting Swift rose 600 percent in 2015.
