4The ultimate stalkers' app
Foursquare Review
by on October 1, 2010
See where your friends are and find out where they’ve been – that’s the basic premise of Foursquare. To many, location-based services are just a license for stalkers but to some apps like this have a genuine use – enabling people to see the places their friends rate highly and share experiences.
The main problem with Foursquare is that it needs your friends to get involved too – if they’re not signed up to the service, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll want to use it. There’s also new competition for Foursquare in the shape of Facebook Places – a similar tool but one that has the advantage of being integrated with the social network site (though Foursquare can also post updates to your Facebook wall).
The Ovi version of Foursquare is one of the slicker Nokia apps we’ve seen and it’s all very similar to versions on other handsets. This app certainly makes it easy to share your location and other information but, unless your friends and family are also Foursquare converts, you’ll find it of limited use.

Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.

Vivi In Stile - Peroni
Full of style and a surprising amount of substance

iPhone
pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
