Units – Unit Converter for your iPhone: A Converter for (almost) everything

Unit converters are amongst the most popular apps in the Store – there is certainly no shortage of them. For this app the developers have obviously paid more attention to functionality, rather than design. The application features a very classic look and is based on older calculators. However, it is the functionality that counts, and not the modern look.

This is where Units has quite a lot to offer – even if the clothing sizes are missing. Besides the classical conversion features you may calculate the dioxide emission of your car. This is definitely not something for everyday use, but a nice gimmick. Another fine option: simply shake your iPhone to go back to the initial screen. Also, while you are inputting values the app automatically starts to convert, so there is no need to push any additional buttons to get to the final result.

Conclusion:
This is a comprehensive converter that offers a no-frills design, but works with almost all units.

Plus/Minus:
+ Good range of functions
+ Easy to use
- No iPad version
- Design takes getting used to

This is not a ball game: A recommendable game

Welcome to the circus – that is what you will be reminded of when you look at the scenery of the game “This is not a ball game”. The principle of the app, which wants to impress with colorful graphics, is simple: it is your job to throw balls at stands that feature glass boxes. If you are able to knock the stands over, you have met the challenge.

However, it is not as easy as it sounds: there are lots of new obstacles and elements, including ramps, which make the whole thing quite tricky. Plus, there is a variety of balls, each one with a different ability. If it turns out that you are not that successful in the game, you have always the option to obtain new balls via in-app purchase.

Conclusion:
The simple mechanics of the game – it is played with just one finger – let you quickly gain an understanding of how it works. A lot of the fun is being provided by the bright visual effect.

+ Universal app
+ Game Center included
+ iCloud-Sync included

Fast & Furious 6

A new Drag Racer just in time to coincide with the latest release of the Fast & Furious movie (starts May 23rd). The graphics are great and the characters are modeled very successfully after the ones in the movie. You are participating with a variety of cars in illegal races through the City of London. The fastest one wins.

A tutorial explains what you have to do with your vehicle – push the start button and off you go. The control works intuitively: you need to shift the gears at just the right moment, drift into curves by pushing a button and are able to perform a little sprint towards the end of the race. Every time you win a race or complete a mission you receive money for upgrades, which can be spend to tune or repair your cars.

Conclusion:
The Racer is very reminiscent of the game hit “CSR Racing”. However, because of the terrific graphics and option to drift into curves the free download is definitely worth it. Tip: you might prefer repeating races, rather than doing in-app purchases.

Plus/Minus:
+ Universal app for the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad
- Game does not run on the 3rd or 4th generation of the iPod touch
- Expensive in-app purchases
