In this post i'm going to explore the vast iOS App Store to find the best Apps for you to download....

HEADS UP 

Heads up is my favorite party game on the App Store. Its amazing to play with friends with guaranteed roll on the floor laughing! This game is inspired by Ellen Degeneres's Game "Celebrity" which features on her talk show. You can choose between many categories including "Accents" (A personal favorite) ; "Act it out" ; "Animal Sounds" and "Icons,legends & Stars. The Game displays a word or name on the screen and gives you an allocated time to get another person to guess the word. Front-Facing camera support means you can capture the funniest reactions and share them with the world! (Which is very funny.) Watch Ellen as she does a Tutorial... Available for iPhone and iPad

STAMPSY

Social Media Apps are booming, with hundreds of Facebook want-to-be's im really exited to see something totally unique and original. Stampsy is a platform to share your media content be it a photo , artwork or writing, this app showcases you work in a form called "Stamps."Stamps really bring your content to life. Stampsy is easier to use, with palettes of colours and a grid to help plan out your stamps. After you publish it your stamp gets its own unique URL code which you can share with people.

MUSYC

Don't read music note, but love music? This is the app for you! No knowledge of music needed. All you do is drag your finger across the screen to make music. Different in-app purchases means you can spend hours not to mention many dollars on this app. Musyc is a original and unique app that is perfect for any music lover. Creating music has never been this easy. Its seems almost 'magical' the way the songs come together.

ASPHALT 7 : HEAT

Asphalt by Game loft comes back with "Asphalt 7: Heat" a more graphically intensive game with circuits that look very true to reality. The game is my favorite Street-Racing game available on the app store with over 60 different cars. However, I do warn you that the game is VERY heavy on RAM so I advise you to close all background applications before hitting the circuit. The improved multiplayer feature makes it easier to race with your friends and family. Asphalt 7 is the best Asphalt yet!
Available for iPhone and iPad

5 Gadget Gifts Ideas for Mothers Day.

As you know national mothers-day is this sunday and if you are anything like me , you have either forgotten or are going last-minute gift shopping. So here are a few GADGET GIFT IDEAS!

1. AMAZON KINDLE PAPERWHITE

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite in my opinion is the best E-Reader on the market with a stunning new Kindle Operating system which is simple and easy to use (perfect for mom). The 6' E-Ink screen is touch screen with quick (almost unnoticeable refreshes) and a new built in reading light so that mom can finish her cliff-hanger murder mystery at night. The Kindle paperwhite has an amazing 8 week battery life , perfect for traveling and just plain day-to-day use. With over 6 fonts and different font sizes for mom to pick from. With the new WhisperSync feature , you can buy books for mom on your iPhone (or any iOS; Android or Windows device) as well as read them yourself. Mom is guaranteed to love this light-weight E-Reader.

2. IPOD NANO 

If your mom loves music, this could be the answer. The new iPod nano has a stunning new design. The simple OS is based on the 2.5' multi- touch Screen. The form-factor of the nano is small enough to fit in mom's pocket or handbag and big enough to use comfortably. Mom could easily load her music, an audiobook or even the audio copy of the Qur'an/Bible. The nano comes with pre-loaded apps (Music, Video, Radio, Photos, podcasts and Fitness.) At present the iPod nano doesn't have any App Store or ability to load more apps onto the device. Mom can also store pictures of her children or even grandchildren. The Nike Fitness+ app means that mom can go for a morning jog/walk listen to PowerMusic on the way and have a look at stats like how far she walked, how many calories she burnt. It is an amazing way for mom to keep in shape and track her progress doing it. Mom will definitely love     it and if she doesn't i'm sure you will!

3. APPLE MACBOOK AIR 11'

If you are really looking to spoil you mom this mothers day or just kissing up to her - The Macbook Air is a perfect entry laptop into the Apple Mac world. Mac OSX is a simple software that allows users to customize the size of apps so that mom can see them easily however buying a macbook itself can be pretty expensive as well as extra costs for software like Office for Mac (R1200). The macbook is slim and light-weight. An amazing companion for work or hobbies.

4 . SONY S-FRAME WI-FI SERIES

What better gift than to remind mom of all the good memories  you've had. The Sony S-Frame is the best way to do that. Mom can view pictures from a SD card, the devices memory or even your Facebook profile (which could or could not be a good thing). The Sony S-Frame can also give you the weather, your Facebook updates and the date. A easy and cheaper alternative to printing and framing pictures. The S-Frame automatically organizes and plays your pictures on the amazing screen out of the box. mom doesn't have to spend hours setting up it, she can enjoy amazing slideshows from day one. 

Mom will love it!

5. SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the perfect way for you and your mom to keep in touch. the S4 runs Android Jelly Bean 2.2 with Samsung's Touchwiz UX which is both the easiest and most customizable software out there , whether you mom is 30 or 90, I can guarantee she will love this amazing software! I'd definitely recommend it, I think its better than the iPhone 5. The S4 makes it easy for mom to communicate, keep healthy and fit (using the S'Health app). I would suggest if you go for this option you should buy yourself one too! (if you don't have one already)
