5 Apps Worth Downloading this Week

iOS Applications are probably one of the world's most downloaded pieces of software.  I'm here to give you guys the top 5 Apps that are worth downloading this week.  I'll be covering Temple Run, Rail Maze, Drag Racing, Amazing Breaker and Evernote.

If you would like me to ever review an application and possibly have it in this serious, please suggestions/sponsor them to me by contacting me here.

Temple Run (Free)

Temple Run is a great action filled adventure game for your iOS device.  Basically, it's a never ending running game that's very simple to learn and will be addicting for weeks to come.  I hope you enjoy running away from big monkeys or chimpanzees.  For a never ending game, the graphics are amazing that brings the frames to life with some 3D animations.

Features

  • Simple swipe and tilt controls that are easy to use and just feel right
  • Level up your character and use crazy powerups
  • Original 3D running mechanic combining turning, jumping, sliding and tilting - the first of its kind!
  • Play as 7 different characters!
  • Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements
  • Incredibly fun, just one more time, endless game play!

With a perfect 5 start rating in the iTunes App Store, I would highly recommend this application to all ages.

Rail Maze (Free)

"Rail Maze is an amazing puzzle game that will give you so many different options, you'll be busy playing it for hours."

If you're into games that really put your mind to the test, Rail Maze by Spooky House Studios is probably a perfect match for you.  The object of the game is to get the train from begin to end by turning around tracks and avoiding obstacles and bombs.  It's a great puzzle game for all ages.  While the game play might sound a bit corny, I promise you will become addicted in a matter of no time.

Features

  • 100+ puzzles
  • Tunnels
  • Bombs
  • Pirate Trains
  • Super long trains
  • Global online scoreboards by Scoreloop
  • 4 Game modes: Labyrinth, Build Railroad, Snake, Longest Railroad

With a current rating of 4 stars in the app store, you know it'll be a good choice.  Game play is simple to learn but will take days to master each puzzle.  I would also recommend this application to all ages.  This application is also available for a small purchase of $0.99 for the pro model.

Drag Racing  (Free)

Being a guy that has racing in their blood, of course I'm going to choose this application for this week.  In this game, you won't even notice that hours that have just ticked by while you're playing this game.  Of course, if you're not into cars, you may not enjoy this realistic drag racing game.  With over 50 cars ranging from imports to all american muscle, you will always find a car that suits you and your personality.  The game play is all about racing the opponent and trying to win.  Isn't that how all racing games are played?  Graphics aren't leading edge, but they are still very beautiful.

With so many features and so little time to type them all, I'll just leave you with this.  World Records will be making its way to this application.  Wouldn't you like to say you have one of the fastest cars in the game, world wide?

Like I said, this game might only suit those who are truly into cars but if you are not, don't knock it.  Give it a try and you might find yourself a new and expensive life hobby!  Just stay out of trouble with the law and speeding.  If you would like to avoid seeing advertisements during your game play, a small fee of $0.99 will eliminate all ads.  With an under rating of 3 1/2 stars, this application deserves more respect and I would recommend to all ages.

Amazing Breaker ($0.99)

Interested in a game that may be more addicting then the popular Angry Birds, check this out.  The basics of this game is to toss bombs and destroy a glassy textured shape.  It sounds weird but I'm not so sure how to exactly describe it.  You will just have to check it out and take my word on this.  This application puts your mind to the task as well as steady hands and good eye judgement.  Who doesn't like blowing things up in HD Quality graphics?

"It's definitely a must-buy if you like challenging puzzle games"

Features:

  • Full high resolution Retina Display graphics
  • Addictive "Aim and Shoot" gameplay
  • Game Center and Achievements and OpenFeint
  • 80 Awesome Levels
  • More levels coming soon...
  • Easy to learn but hard to master
  • Explosive Excitement (literally) - create cascades of exploding crystals

If you're skeptical about spending a misely one dollar, you can always download the free version which lets you try out 20 levels so you can get the hang of the game.  Honestly, take my word and just spend the buck.  For a well deserved 4 1/2 stars, I again, highly recommend this application to all ages.

Evernote (Free)

If you are anything like me, you love to be organized.  I have found Evernote to be an extremely helpful tool to help me stay organized while I brain storm and take notes.  Evernote lets you take notes on your iOS device on the go and it automatically syncs up with your computer if you have Evernote installed on your computer.  Evernote is also available for BlackBerry and I believe Android.  It's not only for notes because it lets you have the ability to snap pictures and take audio notes.  There are so many fantastic little features to help you stay organized.

Features:

  • Create text, photo and audio notes
  • Auto-synchronize your notes to your Mac, PC, and Web
  • Magically makes text within snapshots searchable
  • Mark notes as "Favorite" for quick access
  • All notes include geo-location information for mapping and search

If you aren't an organized person, you should really consider starting out and using this application.  It's very simple to use and master and it will always look pleasing to the eye.  Evernote uses a great style when you're typing and saving notes.  Once you get organized, you will see a bit more ease in your life goals.  Trust me!  With a 4 1/2 star rating, why not try to get organized!  Perfect for all ages but best for the business man and school student.
