2Free inter-mobile messaging. Where's the flaw in that?
WhatsApp Messenger Review
by on July 12, 2011
WhatsApp Messenger is a messenging app that’s available for Nokia, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or Wi-Fi (when available) and enables you to send messages with friends and family. The key sell here is that there’s no cost attached, but we found ourselves not using the app – it’s just not as simple to use as text messaging. And, while the cost of text messaging is still high for some customers, such as those on Pay as you go deals, for most of us on contract texts are free or near-free. So WhatsApp Messenger, while a good idea in principle, is actually a little useless in practice. While some proprietary messaging apps – BlackBerry Messenger for example – have been successful, that’s normally because they are deeply integrated into the user experience. Unfortunately WhatsApp Messenger doesn’t fulfil this criteria and as such is rather limited in usefulness.

iPhone
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.

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.)
