5Track pretty much anything and log the route online so you can recollect those strenuous days
SmartRunner Review
by on May 31, 2010
Annoyances first: to log trips and runs you need to register at smartrunner.com and if you don’t upload them, you won’t be able to review the logs.
That aside SmartRunner pretty much makes you that, it’s a finger-friendly trip logger that will track your location via GPS and let you know how long, how far, how many calories and where you’ve been.
There are a good number of apps that do this already but none quite with SmartRunner’s slick presentation.
It’s also not limited, catering for running, walking, cycling, driving or almost any activity you like. Its large start/stop/pause button is thumb-sized and it has a lock option and happily tracked us around town from our back pocket.
The front end is clear and easy to use and as we’ve mentioned the app isn’t designed to review the logs it creates. The idea is you do this via the SmartRunner website, which is free to join and also offers a number of paid-for services. We found it accurate and easy to 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.
Android
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.)
