Since the birth of rock and roll in the 1950s, up to its culmination in the early 60s (God bless The Beatles!) and so on, discovering and listening to new songs everyday has become a natural inclination for music lovers. Music  had become a big instrument for social and cultural movement, and was touted as one of the most expressive art forms ‘til now. Some people listen to music as if their whole lives depend on it. I can relate to those people because I owe much of my job to the songs that I listen to—I cannot ever write a single article without some music on.

And as music continues to progress, with range of different music styles morphing into another genre of progressive rhythms, searching for the obviously good songs can be a bit of a hard work. For fans of the ear-shattering riffs and for groupies who spend most of their lives stalking rock bands, or rock band hotties for that matter (eyeroll), a new iOS app called Band of the Day will help your fixation of looking for the best music that has yet to become a mainstream favourite in the airwaves. Band of the Day will introduce you to new bands every day and will even allow some free streaming to serenade your eardrums more. With bands ranging from alt rock, progressive rock, grunge, indie rock, and psychedelic rock genres among others, looking for your daily dose of rock n’ rolla won’t need an encore! Read more

Are you addicted to applications? Hurrah! Whether you are aiming for a casual game, lifestyle, entertainment, photography, or music application, then here’s a warm hug for you! I welcome you to the club, the App-aholics Club if there’s such a thing.

Speaking of which, I bet you are also one of those people who are hopelessly wishing for some spare pennies that can be used to download paid apps. Am I right? Well, there’s no need to be ashamed of it because just like you I do feel the same thing. I’ve been reviewing apps for quite some time now and I cannot deny the fact that I’ve been seeing some great paid apps which I definitely want to try and store on my device. Unfortunately, because I’m quite living on a tight budget, I have to control myself from purchasing those apps and just pray that their developers will visit our website, Applatter, and give me with some promo codes. *Haha! Way to go, Lavinia! Go on and beg for some luck.*

Disclaimer: I am not really begging, rather I’m teasing you guys. Just hoping that my prayers will be answered soon.

Voila! Who could have thought that my request will be answered too soon. That was really fast! Thanks to my fairy godfather, if I may say, the AppTurbo team. My dilemma is now somehow solved because of their one-of-a-kind application that really caught my attention. This is indeed my lucky day! Wait, let’s change that… This is indeed our lucky day! To all app addicts who are dying to try some paid apps without spending even a single penny, let me introduce to you this magical app which we will all definitely love. Presenting App of the Day.

Are you looking for a game that can be the perfect buddy on a lazy stay-in at home or at the hotel? Get your Android devices ready and download PlayCreek LLC’s action puzzle game called Magic Wingdom!

is a puzzle game that lets users draw and trace different lines to make the colored eggs bump into their color family. It’s fun to actually watch the eggs roll toward the center of the field because that’s when you know that chaos in the game is ensuing.  Actually, if I’m being honest with myself, I enjoy this game because of the chaos. As the game becomes more complex and the player gets all hilariously panicky, that’s when the real entertainment is making itself present.

I know I’ve been saying this a lot, but really, the phrase “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going” really applies to the idea of this incredibly addicting app. The harder the game gets; the rougher the player becomes. Read more

We love making fun of our friends’ photos in Facebook. We all go through the absurdity of tagging our unaware friends their pictures which show them being crazy, or not in their best Vogue-ish poses. As much as we love making fun of things, and ridiculous stuff about our bffs’ own business, we still keep in mind that some things need to be done with caution and maybe, a little guessing game. Sometimes, we even tag them things that will remind them how inane they are because we want to make them laugh. That’s just the coolest thing about life. We can make fun of things with the people who know us more than we know ourselves. The joy of having to share stuff with friends are just priceless, and endlessly satisfying.

And if you are like me who loves to surprise her friends with pointless chuckle-worthy pictures and stuff, then you better check this app called Picture Me Something. You get the gist. Picture Me Something, like Draw Something and other apps coined with “something”, will allow you to connect and goof around with your friends about the funniest photos through your mobile phones. The best thing about Picture Me Something is that, it’s such a familiar app—too familiar that there’s really no learning needed—that it spoils your giggling pleasure in no time. With the use of Facebook integration and sharing of private or non-private photos, Picture Me Something will leave you boisterously chortling with your friends and make them laugh at themselves silly!

Make way for the swine invasion, everyone! It’s here and it’s definitely taking the world by storm. No, I’m not referring to the swine flu or the foot and mouth disease—mind you, nobody wants to make way for that I’m sure. So what am I really getting at, you ask? Well, it’s none other than pig-filled applications for your smartphones! Game developers has this knack of using gentle creatures to create some uncanny and devious characters, don’t you think? Ehem, Angry Birds. Speaking of that passé application, pigs were there too! Only they were green and odd-looking, but they were still pigs. Nonetheless, dear readers, I have excluded them in this list because I’ve decided that weird green pigs is not going to make the cut.

Ergo, the applications that I’m about to share with you all ham and bacon lovers has pigs as its main star—protagonist and antagonist alike. Don’t worry, I assure you that they are all pink, fat, and normal-looking.
