Adventures of Poco Eco: Lost Sounds for iOS – Review

Once upon a time, games in iOS were deeply criticized for being bad, annoying, In-App-Purchase generating machines. This was largely accurate, and remains largely true today. But in 2014, a game called Monument Valley punched a hole right through the theory that iOS games had to be this way to succeed.

iHome iB37 Color Changing Over Ear Headphones – Review

I love iHome Audio. They have built themselves a nice brand. I admit I had a slightly negative bias against them as “budget” — always finding their stuff on clearance at Big Lots. But I have been pleasantly surprised in the recent past with their speaker and headphone offerings, such as the iHome iB37 over-ear headphones.

Macally Apple MFI Certified Car and Home Chargers with Detachable Lightning Cable for iPad & iPhone – Review

When I received these two items, I figured, “It’s going to be tough to review these as separate units.” And I was right. The cables are exactly the same, except for color. They both work perfectly interchangeably and also in your computer of choice. The real difference between the two products is the charger. And the color — we can’t forget the color.
