 As you can probably guess from the name of the app, Flick Kick Football is an app that revolves flicking a football into the net using your finger on your iOS device. Developed by PikPok, whose archive of applications for iOS devices are based around flicking a ball, you know what sort of quality of game you are going to get if you have played any of their other apps. There are Tottenham and Chelsea versions of this app along with a rugby version for all you rugby fans out there.

Google Chrome

Having been requested for a long time, Google finally have brought their highly successful Google Chrome web browser to iOS devices. Chrome was first released for Windows at the end of 2008. Since then, it has been the browser chosen for many computers all over the world. As of May 2012, Chrome is used by 33% of browser users, more than any other browser. As Android is owned by Google, Android users got to have Chrome on their devices first, but now Google have decided not to single the huge mount of iOS users out.

Blow the Safe

Blow the Safe is supposed to be a strategy game. Having played the game and read several users reviews, I am starting to question this. The idea of the game is similar to the hit TV show, The mllion pound drop with the excepton that there are no questions and you have to use your instinct which in this case means guessing. You start with ten sets of 100000 points and have to place each set in the safe of your choice. One of the fours safes is safe to put money in and the other three have explosives in meaning that they will destroy them points. After each round you will carry the remaining money through with you to the next round and you will then repeat the same process over and over again. The aim is to see how many points you can have after seven rounds and then ths will be your final score. 

Where's My Water?

Developed by Disney, Where's My Water? is probably their breakthrough app on the App Store. With an original character and an original idea, this app has certainly caught the eyes of many iOS users. This is definitely one of those fun apps that can have you addicted for hours on end. Though there are some frustrating levels this will not put you off playing, which is always something that is hard to do when developing an app.

DancePad


DancePad is new to the App Store and is brought to us by Jennifer Lopez and Moonshark inc. J-Lo is known worldwide for being a pop sensation. It is Moonsharks first app on the App Store. The idea of DancePad is similar to the likes of Tap Tap Revenge and Rock Band, in the sense that you have to tap the area that is being shown on the screen while music is playing to the beat. 



The Amazing Spiderman


There cannot be many people on this planet who are yet to discover Spiderman. Spiderman is not only a childhood hero, as he is hidden in the lives of most of us. With what is the fourth motion picture Spiderman movie, The Amazing Spiderman brings a story looking at a different angle from what others have brought in the past. Having seen the film myself, I believe it will be one of the blockbusters of the year. Now to be released simultaneously with the movie in the cinema, Gameloft have produced and iOS app relevant to the movie. This game takes place after the movie, so has an original storyline.
