Weather Maps, Moto X Mayhem, Google Mobile, Globall and Awesome Facts…

Weather Maps – (Requires Data Connection)

It’s that time again for another week of Top 5 Apps! The Weather Maps App is great if your living in the UK. Just like the weather on TV the App shows the full map of the UK and shows radar information including rain, cloud, snow. It shows sun too not that we get much of it in the UK The App even shows temperatures and wind information exactly like the forecast you see on the BBC weather website and News.

The App shows you radar information for the next 5 days. Overall this is a great app to see what is going on over the whole of the UK all on one screen. Also the data seems much more precise than the information given on the standard Weather App.

Moto X Mayhem App

Moto X Mayhem is a great game that takes full advantage of the accelerometer. The idea is to get to the end of the course without crashing the motorbike. You touch the right side of the screen for Throttle (gas) and the left to brake. But you need to tilt the iPhone in the direction you want the rider to lean. Going up a hill while leaning back will cause you to fall off or leaning forwards while going down hill will cause the rider to go right over the handle bars! There’s several courses and for 59p its another great coffee break game!

Google Mobile App – (Requires Data Connection)

This next App I have has been out for a while but it’s really useful. Google is taking over the world and it has it’s sights set on Apples iPhone with the latest Google Voice app being banned from the App Store we are lucky this hasn’t! The best part of this app is the search, click a button speak into the microphone for example, “Apple iPhone 3GS” and the Google App will instantly search for these terms and list you the results all within seconds if not milliseconds. If only Apple had integrated this into Safari! The app also links you straight to GMail, calendar, docs, tasks, reader etc so all your Google related apps can be found within one place.

GloBall App – (Requires Data Connection and GPS for Advanced Features)

GloBall is another game which can get very addictive, so be careful! The idea is to tilt the phone to roll the ball and break blocks! Sounds rather simple! However there are enemies who want to eat you up so you need to either avoid them or get a power up in order to squish them! Whats great about this game too is there’s a lite version available. As you know I’m all for apps with lite versions as it allows you to try the game and see if its for you or not! If you like it though definitely upgrade to full for the 59p as you get more levels to play. Another great feature is you can submit your high score to the world and even your location so you can see whether you dominate in your city, country and then the world! Download the lite version and see what you think!

Awesome Facts Apps

My Final App of this Week is a bit a fun. If you want to broaden your mind, and learn some interesting facts then this is the app for you. Interesting, amusing and some odd facts like, ” “Seven Lego sets are sold every second worldwide”, can be found in this app. I will inform you don’t use these “Facts” as 100% true as some may be false, but it’s good to know for a laugh and also many of the facts seem to be based on the US. There are several Awesome Facts on the App Store this is Awesome Facts Free.

So that’s another week of fantastic apps for you to try. If you have any apps you want me to check out Tweet me (@marksblog) , add a comment, e-mail me just get in iTouch! (See what I did there! )
