London Evening Standard Review
by on October 12, 2010
At a time when a lot of newspaper apps are being charged for, we thought it seemed odd that the London Evening Standard’s Bada app was free. However, the paper itself is now given away gratis, so why not the digital equivalent? Like the print version, the app is intended to give a different type of ‘flavour’ each weekday. The app has its main subject areas along the top of the screen, but the layout is slightly odd as this is quite a large strip.
There’s an ad below, so it’s only because of our Samsung Wave’s large screen that it feels like there’s much content on the screen. We’d like to see a future version of the app have a revised layout. Other than that, the app does a fine job, arranging content in columns from which you can tap through to the main story. You can also share content via Facebook and Twitter too.
An essential app for Londoners, certainly.

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.)
