MATERIAL (BETA)

There are plenty of apps out there that claim to provide you with the news you're interested in. MATERIAL does the very same thing, except it automatically picks up on your interests from your Facebook and Twitter activity, and then instead of bringing you news from the biggest sites, it expertly grabs interesting content from smaller sites you may not know existed. As you continue to use social media, your MATERIAL will evolve to your tastes.


RBS 6 Nations Championship App

After England kicked off its Six Nation campaign with a win, this is the official app to see you through the rest of the tournament which is complete with pre and post-match coverage including live commentary, highlights from the game, in-depth stats analysis and it even supports French and Italian for our oval ball lovers overseas.

Painting a bright future for Android gaming, the Unreal Engine 3-powered demo now adds a Benchmark feature which will show you how capable your device is running the graphically impressive app.


7X7

The slick puzzler which is all about matching more than five coloured squares to clear them from the board, makes life more difficult by throwing on random squares after each unsuccessful move to make the task more difficult. Visually it looks the part but most importantly you’ll find yourself glued to it after a few games.


FlipaClip

One of the standout apps from the Samsung Galaxy Note S Pen App Challenger, the flipbook movie maker has now broken free from the Note shackles. Letting you make the animated flicks frame by frame, you can pick how many frames per second you want to use, and with the S-Pen draw more accurate pictures to bring to life. You can share flicks to Facebook and YouTube and then wait for the Likes and the comments to start streaming in.


Sky+

Already available for the iPad and iPhone, Android owners can now turn their smartphone into a touch screen remote and enjoy complete Planner manager management when away from home. As well as being to swipe to pause, play and rewind, you will also be able to delete six month old HD episodes of Eastenders clogging up the set-top box even without interrupting Walford’s finest as they play out on the TV.


Pitfall!

Activision has marked the 30th anniversary of the Atari 2600 classic by giving the game a reboot for smartphones and tablets with 3D graphics, Temple Run-style gameplay and a frantically switching camera angles that makes the modern makeover worthy once again of its exclamation mark.


Flipboard: Your News Magazine

The news-reading app which turns all your feeds into a glossy digital magazine has only recently landed on Google Play and the latest update brings support for the Daydream Android 4.2 feature which means when you dock your device, you can see the latest stories floating around your screen as it charges up.


Nike+ Running

It’s taken a while but having been an exclusive for iPhone users and Android customers on 02, the running tracking app is now available to download for everyone (well, almost). If you have a compatible device you can use your phone’s GPS and accelerometer to record run data and with the UI given a much needed refresh also see runs in greater detail with intergration for Nike’s Fuel Points system.


BT SmartTalk

Xbox SmartGlass


Microsoft’s second screen experience turns your Android smartphone (or tablet) into an slick remote to navigate around the Xbox 360 dashboard and interact with movie, TV and the new Xbox Music app. Gaming is surely where the true potential of SmartGlass lies, but currently only a handful games are compatible which include Forza Horizon and Dance Central 3. It's a start though and we expect to see more of SmartGlass in 2013.

Curiosity


The first app offering from former Lionhead lead designer Peter Molyneux and his new 22cans studio, the aim of the Curiosity game (or social experiment) is to chip away at the cube to reveal the top secret contents. Molyneux says Curiosity is a test of the ‘psychology of monetisation’ which is clearly aimed at some pretty pricey in-app purchases to help you get closer to solving the mystery that lies beneath the layers.
