American Football iOS Game 'Touchdown Hero' App Review

Touchdown Hero by cherrypick games is a light, fun, and yet challenging, American Football game for iPhone and iPad.

Touchdown Hero is a endless runner style game  where you are a one-man team dodging the opposition team as you run the field scoring touchdowns every few meters. The goal, last as long as you can and score as many touchdowns as you can.

Touchdown Hero features an old school pixeled graphic birds-eye-view camera angle, different colored uniforms to unlock and collect, different playing fields and weather conditions, a slow-motion feature where you can think of strategy while pretending that you can slow down time, and a new 'King of the Rings' game mode where your aim is to collect rings on the field while dodging your opponents.

Touchdown Hero is FREE to download (features in-app purchases and advertisements) for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch and iPad) from the App Store.

The Best 8 Ball Pool Game For iPhone, iPad & Android Devices

A few months ago I was looking for the best pool game for iOS and Android devices. In this search, I found and reviewed the app 'Shark Party Pool', and wasn't very impressed with the game. There was a lot of connection issues, the game used coins and was stingy about giving them out.

Recently I came across another game which has been out since Feb. 2013. It's called 8 Ball Pool™ and it's by Miniclip.com.

8 Ball Pool claims to be the "World's #1 Pool game", and I'd believe it. This game features online modes. You can play as a guest, or sign-in through Facebook, or use your Miniclip account to play. You can verse other players from all around the world.

8 Ball Pool does use coins (in-game) to play the game. There is a low paying round of only 25 coins. And with daily free spins to win more coins, and with wining coins - if you win games, you'll have more than enough coins to play a lot of games per day.

There are 1-vs-1 matches, or tournaments. The play modes are unlocked by your game level.  There are a bunch of in-game purchasable items, like cue sticks, and power-ups available to buy with your coins, or with real money, but they are not necessary.

You can challenge your friends, if you play using the Facebook or Miniclip login methods.

The games graphics are pretty good. The physics seems about right... I have seen a few connection issues, but they usually resolve themselves.  You get a profile, which contains stats on your performance. I'd like to see maybe more different stats added, other than just win/loss ratios.  The game is fun, and addicting. As I mentioned earlier, you really don't need to spend real money to play. The game provides enough coins, in my opinion.

This is the best Pool game I've played on a iOS device. Highly recommend it to anyone else looking for a quality, fun, online pool game.


8 Ball Pool™By Miniclip.com is FREE to download, and is available for iOS (Designed for iPhone and iPad) and Android devices.

runtastic Heart Rate - Measure Your Heart Rate On Your iPhone / Android

Did you know you can measure your heart rate on your iPhone! Well you can. I've been a fan of the app Instant Heart Rate by Azumio, but it's been a while since any update or new feature and improvements and the app doesn't even support the iPhone 5's taller screen...

Recently I found this app Heart Rate by runtastic and it may very quickly become my new favourite heart rate measuring tool.

To measure your heart rate just place you finger lightly over your phones camera and light. The measurement is fast and seems accurate.

The app looks cool and has some nice animations.

But the real nice thing about this app is the history feature and the way you can save your measurements.

When saving your result you have the options of selecting a category from either: General, Resting, Before Sport, After Sport and Max (During Sport). You can also select how you are feeling and add a note. 

In 'History', you're shown a graph and you can sort though the categories to only see results for example; when you were exercising, or maybe only when you were resting - so you can get an idea of your averages in each category.  

If you want to get social with your heart rate measurements you can upload to runtastic.com, email, or share on social network sites Facebook and Twitter.

While this is not a medical product (and should not be used as one) and this may not be one hundred percent accurate, it's a cool fitness app and a fun way to measure and keep track of your heart rate.

Available on: iOS (iPhone) and Android

Price: Free / PRO unlimited version $0.99 U.S.
