  • Hedronism by CouchWorld Games

    The guys over at CouchWorld Games (also the makers of Shards [App Store], which we’ll be reviewing shortly) have come up with a puzzler which uses a concept not too dissimilar to that behind the original Rubik’s Cube [Wiki]. Hedronism relies on your logic and your ability to assess spacial direction.

  • Air Sharing: The last piece of the Jigsaw … Or is it?

    Since the introduction of the iPhone and iPod touch back in mid-late 2007, there has always been one feature which was noticeably absent from them both. It was apparent it was needed in order for the devices to become successful in the enterprise, and it was apparently highly requested for inclusion. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, Apple didn’t find it to be a priority, and consequentially it didn’t make the final cut into iPhone OS.

    So what was it? What was this deal-breaking feature? – The ability to mount them as removable drives. Now, with the App Store in full swing, Avatron Software have officially filled the gap.
    Cue, Air Sharing … (more…)

  • Quick Glance: Squaresville by Rusty Ross

  • Now offering iPhone Icon Design

    This Information is Now Out of Date. Please See RFlyGD.com for the Latest.

    There is one major selling point which can be the difference in your App Store application turning over £670 a fortnight for you, or £4.50 a month. What is this selling point? – it’s icon. With the introduction of the App Store, and hundreds upon thousands of applications being submitted monthly, your application may sometimes get lost, or not get noticed as much as you’d like it to be.

    In an attempt to make you and your application stand out from the crowd, I’m introducing … iPhone icon design from RazorianFly.com. (more…)

  • A Brief Look at: Brightkite for iPhone

    I have to admit I’d never heard of Brightkite until the application hit the store yesterday (is that bad, should I have known what it was? :/). I’m sure this was one of the intentions of the developers, to get the word out, so I’m not too worried, I’ll just pretend to be one of those new guys – you know the ones … I’ve gathered it’s a fairly popular social networking client which aims to use location API’s to let everyone know where you are, and if you choose, what your doing …

    I was accepted into the beta phase and received my invite from them late last night.

  • In Partnership with “The Apper”

    A couple of weeks ago, James Foote of The Apper contacted me requesting a uniquely designed icon for his debut app ‘The Apper: News and Reviews’. In return for designing the icon, we asked James to include RazorianFly’s content in the application! … (more…)

  • TVPlus: Record to your Sky+ box. Wirelessly – [Updated]

    Released just a few days ago, this is definitely one for UK and Ireland. TVPlus is in fact the first application on the store to offer and integrate Sky‘s ‘Remote Record’ functionality. What this means is, you can be out and about with your iPhone (or iPod touch), and as long as you have access to a Wifi connection, your one tap away from sending a ‘record’ request for your favorite movie or TV show, to your Sky+ box at home.

    Sound sweet? – Well it is, for the most part.
    However, there are a lot of downsides which go with it … (more…)
