AirDroid Free AirDroid is an already massively popular Android management application that lets you control your device via your web browser. Incredibly easy to set up, it is a powerful and useful tool for managing content on your Android. You can view pictures, send and receive SMS text messages, install and remove apps, manage contacts in addition to a whole lot more. Very powerful and intuitive, AirDroid is also free!

Poynt Free Poynt is a majestically designed and highly functional local-search application that provides a multitude of connections wherever you might be geographically. Whether it be a restaurant, a movie, a person or any other local business, Poynt is a slick and customizable solution. Now, I know you might be thinking ‘ this is just like Google Places’ and I wouldn’t blame you, but Poynt does a whole lot more, and all within one superbly polished and intuitive application.

Tiny Tower Free, In-Game Purchases Tiny Tower is a retro tycoon game which puts you in control of a tower block. Build new levels, start businesses, keep your tenants happy and build as high as you can get! The graphics are incredibly basic but the game literally oozes charm and compulsive playability. I’m completely addicted to this gem of a game, so read on and let me give you some details.

Carnival of Horrors Free, In-Game Purchases Carnival of Horrors is a typical tower defence game, very akin to the likes of Plants Vs Zombies and Pumpkins Vs Monsters. You create a set of towers in order to thwart the oncoming baddies. These baddies start with fluffy ghosts and quickly level-up to evil clowns, scary bears and all kinds of other side-show freaks. Simple-yet-challenging gameplay is complimented by an eerie soundtrack and massive replay-ability. It’s a game that should be in every ‘Halloween Games’ list from this day forward.

ProfileComfort ~$1.34 ($0.99 On Sale in AndroidTapp Store!) ProfileComfort is a useful and functional profile creation app. Most of us lead relatively busy lives where we find ourselves in a variety of situations; whether it be work, the cinema, a funeral, a school play or a variety of other circumstances. In many of these scenario’s your Lady Gaga ringtone might not be particularly popular. It’s probably the ultimate of 21st century problems, but one which can be managed easily and simply through profile managers such as ProfileComfort. Share Android App Review

Snowflakes Live Wallpaper Free, $1.49 (Available in AndroidTapp Store!) Snowflakes Live Wallpaper is, well, a live wallpaper that features snowflakes. For many people, especially perhaps at this time of the year, this sounds like a great idea to give your Android a scrumptiously winter feel- in which case this will be right up your Christmas Tree. If not, however, and the thought of cute snowflakes littering your home screen makes you snort with derision, just hold fire there Scrooge, there’s a while lot more under the hood… Share Android App Review

Hand in Glove Free Hand in Glove is mind-numbingly brilliant idea, and perfect now that the weather is getting colder. In a nutshell, the app lets you control basic phone functions with the hardware buttons; i.e. volume control rocker. This is therefore ideal if you are wearing gloves and need to answer a call quickly.

Learn Irish Premium Free w/ Ads, $2.50 for Lite+, $5.65 for Premium ($4.99 On Sale in AndroidTapp Store!) Learn Irish Premium is a functional and fun language application that lets you gradually learn some basic words and phrases in Irish Gaelic. It’s extremely easy to use, with playable audio files to help you understand how a word or phrase is pronounced, and there are both spellings and phonetic spellings to help with comprehension.

CardSharing Free CardSharing is the undoubtedly 21st century way of swapping contact information. Replacing the notion of having old-school cardboard business cards, the app instead allows you to create your own card in-app and then share it in different ways. Perhaps the coolest is the way it can create a quick QR code that your contact can barcode-scan for immediate information download. Very cool.

BoggleDroid $2.99 BoggleDroid is your new-age rip of classic table top game, Boggle! Just like the original you’re under a timer to get as many word combinations as possible. However, as mobile apps go, you can challenge players across the globe or against another player on the same device. Lets get into some good word game fun! Share Android App Review
