App of the Week: Draw Something

If you have an iPhone you may have heard about the latest craze in the app world. Draw Something is an addictive guessing game much the same as Pictionary where you can play with friends or with strangers to guess each others drawings in order to earn coins, which in turn can unlock more colours to draw with.

I heard about the app a few days ago and instantly got hooked. I have quite a few games ongoing. The best part is that you can carry on your day and just go onto it to take your turn when you are free.

The app is available for free, although I decided to pay 69p for the upgrade as it also gave me 400 bonus coins which allowed me to get two sets of colours. It also means I don't have to click through ads when I play, although it is possible to play with the free app.

You don't have to be an amazing artist to play the game, stick men are welcome and it is usually better to be creative with your pictures rather than trying to be completely accurate. I am extremely competitive and have managed to reach 45 on one game so far.

I would definitely recommend this game to anyone as it is a great way to pass the time. A word of warning though, it does get addictive fast!

App of the Week #2

As promised, here is my second app of the week post... This week I discovered a free SIMs game on my iPhone and have been a bit obsessed with it since.

I loved playing the game on Facebook a while ago but got out of it when I was no longer constantly attached to my laptop! This is perfect! Yes, it is not without blips, after all it is a FREE app! However, it is great if you are bored and want to escape from 'real' life for a bit...


Do you have an iPhone? Are there any great apps you would recommend?

App of the Week #1

I thought I would test run a new post I was thinking of doing each week... I have been in love with iPhones ever since I got my first one a couple of years ago, and I usually have it constantly in my handbag or pocket. It is really good for a variety of reasons (of which I will not bore you with now), but one of the best things has to be the huge amount of apps available to download. I only ever really download free apps, I don't usually see the need to spend money on the ones that charge, and there are some amazing free apps out there.

This week I have got a little obsessed with Fashion Story which is a SIM like game where you run your own fashion boutique.

A screen shot from the game... as you can see, not very far into it!

I used to play a couple of bakery and cafe games in the same style and like to play on them when I am bored (not that often these days as Cameron is constantly on the move and I am often out and about). It can get addictive which is why I deleted the other games, but if you are looking for a fun free game to pass the odd few minutes away then I would definitely recommend this.
