Foursquare app review
Ovi already has official Twitter and Facebook apps, so it’s about time we had some representation from one of the (relatively) new kids on the social networking block.

Grimm’s Rumpelstiltskin app review
Grimm’s Rumpelstiltskin Many parents are already handing over their precious iPads to their offspring on car journeys and other trips, simply to keep them quiet. However, Grimm’s Rumpelstiltskin is an app for kids that is much better for using together. It’s a version of the fairy tale of the same name, reimagined as a pop-up […]

Plane Finder AR app review
Some apps are pure novelties, but using technology that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. Plane Finder AR is just such an app. In a nutshell, it lets you point your iPhone camera at planes flying in the sky, to find out where they’re going.

Justin.tv app review
Justin.tv is one of the increasingly popular live video-streaming services, which let webcam and smartphone owners broadcast live to the world. Until now, its iPhone app has only let you watch livestreams from the Justin.tv site, leaving it lagging behind rivals like Ustream and Qik.

Doodle Cam app review
iPhone users are well used to the hand-drawn ‘Doodle’ aesthetic, thanks to the success of the Doodle Jump game – and hundreds of imitators. Doodle Cam applies the idea to the videos and photos that you shoot on your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4.

WWF Panda Collection Tin app review
Virtual items are all the rage in social games online – think about the millions of tractors being bought every day on Farmville. However, they’re starting to venture onto iPhone too, with WWF Panda Collection Tin being an example designed with charitable intent.

Many Telegraph readers would expire into their cocoa at the thought of the august newspaper being presented electronically on a tablet device. However, younger readers – there are some, really – will be chuffed at the launch of its all-new iPad app.

Tesco Groceries app review
It’s strange to think that a decade or so ago, the idea of internet shopping was still distrusted by a lot of people. Even those who were happy to flash their credit cards for Amazon books and eBay items often pooh-poohed the idea of buying food or clothing online.

Addicted to Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me? Fancy yourself as a participant? Hopefully you’re not dislikeable enough. But if you’re planning a Come Dine.. style round of dinner parties with friends, the show’s official app will be really useful.

Given the outpour of rage that accompanies any new mobile platform launching without copy and paste facilities, it’s a wonder the likes of Apple and Google haven’t included something like Smart Copy as standard.

8pen app review
Not so much an app as a new way of interacting with your phone, 8pen is a bold new alternative to virtual keyboards. The developer makes the case that today’s touch-typing solutions are awkward and unnatural (no arguments here), and that 8pen is the result of starting completely from scratch.

Skype app review
At long last, the undisputed king of Voice over IP (VoIP) has arrived on Android. We’re not sure why it’s taken so long, and handset compatibility still isn’t stellar (it works on our Milestone but not our Galaxy S) but it’s here and it’s as polished a communication tool as ever.

7digital app review
While Amazon MP3 provides the closest thing to an iTunes for Android, the platform’s uniquely open nature means it can host a fair few worthy alternatives too. 7digital is just such a service, offering high quality MP3s with no DRM restrictions.

ShopCreel app review
The princely sum of £3.99 sounds like a lot for a simple grocery list app, so I was expecting great things from ShopCreel. Unfortunately, it’s a rather confusing, inflexible and – dare I say it – ugly offering.

We’ve tinkered with full iPhone music sequencer apps, and enjoyed the social aspects of apps like Leaf Trombone and Ocarina. 120 BPM falls somewhere in between: it’s a powerful music creation app, with impressive social features wrapped around it.

Skyfire web browser (iPhone) app review
iPhone browser app Skyfire proved so popular on release, it ‘sold out’ – meaning so many people used it, the server strain forced its developer to remove the app from the App Store. However, with a return promised soon, it’s well worth stumping up for if you get the chance.
