50 Miles Price: Free iPhone News Item by TheiPhoneAppReview.com

50 Miles Racing Game

50 Miles is an action-packed street racing game for iPhone and iPad. The game is published by Gamejuice and made its debut on the App Store on March 29, 2016.

Gamejuice describes the game by saying, “50 Miles is a racing game to traverse a continent. The downtown, beach, snow path, wet path, and dark mountain path continue without loading. You can enjoy endless speeding if you have enough fuel. Everything is prepared such as nitro, booster, cargo, and slipstream for a great number of thrills.”

Most racing games feature a set start and finish point, but 50 Miles is designed differently because the player’s only limitation is the amount of gas in their fuel tank.

Game Switch , InstaWeb: Web to PDF Converter, Article Cleaner and Reader , Notes.xls tiny spreadsheet (Excel edition) and more

iPhone:

Game Switch puts two simple arcade games at your fingertips. The app conveniently resides within Notification Center. All you have to do is add it as a Today widget by scrolling to the bottom of the screen and tapping the “Edit” button. The next time you swipe down, tap on the game screen to go for a high score in Color Pong or Flappy Ghost.

Memory is a colorful note taking app. Swipe down to create a new entry, and tap on one of the colored circles to categorize it. Each entry is automatically timestamped. You can then sort your entries by color or display them all at once. The app also includes search, Touch ID support, and a Today widget.

Universal:

InstaWeb allows you to convert any webpage into a PDF for later use. Point the built-in browser at any webpage and tap the PDF button to capture it. The captured webpage must be named before it's converted. InstaWeb also features a nifty option that allows you to remove the clutter and just save the text from the web page. The app includes the ability to organize PDF documents within folders, share them via AirDrop or email, or store them in Dropbox, Evernote, SkyDrive, Box, or Google Drive.

Notes.xls is like having Excel in your pocket. You’re able to use it to calculate daily expenses, track bank accounts, construct budgets, or deal with any other numbers you come across. If you already use Excel on a daily basis, you’ll be happy to know that the syntax formulas work exactly the same. The app also includes two columns, gesture controls, the ability to insert and delete rows, and the ability to share spreadsheets via email.

Take a good look at the board while it is lit up because the lights will go out! You must then match elements to create electrical currents that will briefly illuminate the board, disintegrate the elements, and turn them into gold. While the board is briefly illuminated from creating a match, you will have another chance at seeing where elements are located and how they’re aligned. If you wind up not getting a good enough look, you can use a hint. The game includes three modes, loads of ways to upgrade your gold producing machine, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Toca Band’s cast of characters are available at the bottom of the screen. Just drag and drop them onto the stage to have them perform. Each section of the stage causes the character to play in a different way, allowing for some crazy combinations. The app includes 16 characters to choose from, and 48 sound loops.
