Featured App: Papa Pear Saga

by Leave a Comment

Papa Pear Saga is a game made by the same company who also made Candy Crush (King), and it’s just as addicting. With so many matching games very similar to Candy Crush, Papa Pear is something a little different and very fun.

It does involve “lives”, you have 5 and every time you lose a game, you lose a life, then the timer counts down to receive more. You also have the option of in-game purchases (with real money), such as power ups, or gold bars to help you move along a little faster and easier. If you’ve played these types of apps before, you know all about it. Most of them now a days all work pretty much the same, but I do recommend this game, it is really fun.

Try to make each Papa Pear shot bounce on as many objects as possible. Land a Papa Pear in each Barrel to advance to the next level.

Instructions

  1. Try to make each Papa Pear bounce on as many objects as possible to earn points.
  2. Try to land Papa Pear in each Barrel and advance to next level, new levels means more things to bounce on = more points.
  3. Try to catch all multiplier pegs because this will increase your multiplier and thereby your score.

You can play Papa Pear on Facebook, Google Play, and at Papa Pear Saga.

If you go to PapaPearSaga.com it says the game will soon be coming to iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android devices.

Facebook App: Bitstrips

bitstrips comic

If you’ve been on Facebook lately you’ve probably noticed comic strips like the one above taking over your news feed. They are from a Facebook app called Bitstrips. You create your avatar by choosing from a variety of different looks such as face, hair, clothes, and even make-up. Once your avatar is complete you can start making your comics, using them as status updates and greeting cards. You can also add your friend’s avatars that they have made and make silly comics. There are many other features in the app, like changing wording, positions, create thought bubbles and many more.

It may seem like a new thing, but Bitstrips was actually created in 2012, and the reason for it’s recent popularity is because they updated it to be an iPhone app as well.

I think the avatars have a great deal of detail and look just like the people who create them. It’s a fun way to update your status and talk to your friends on Facebook, so check it out if you haven’t already right here at Bitstrips.

Hack Makes Chat Heads Persistent Throughout iOS

by Leave a Comment

Chat Heads was recently brought to iOS but it wasn’t quite the same as the Android version which allowed for the ‘Chat Heads’ to be visible even when the Facebook app isn’t open. Facebook mentioned that they couldn’t do the same for iOS due to it being too locked down.

It didn’t take long though for someone to Jailbreak hack this thing apart and make it happen, well sort of. It’s a bit buggy at the moment but appears that having ‘Chat Heads’ be persistent throughout iOS is possible if you have a Jailbroken phone and the people at the Verge show us how.

Featured App: Whims

by 2 Comments

Whims is a social media app similar to Instagram, except instead of photos, you create text.

Whims Detail

You start off by signing up and making a profile. Then you pick a style sheet, they give you so many to choose from. A style sheet has a theme based on people, such as Harry Potter style. There are two types of font in that style and three color options. You can choose which specific words you want to change to the second font choice, if at all. Other options are, alignment, text size and text spacing.

Afterwards when you click “create” there is another option called “add texture”, this will give your background a different look. You can choose from no filter, crumpled, rust, stationary, vintage, water spill, and notes. These can be layered all together and the more you click, the more intense the texture becomes.

Once you have perfected your design, you can add a comment or tags and share on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, text message, and email. This will post to the Whims page, but there is an option to save as a “Private Whim” which will only save the image to your phone.

I love this app because it has so many beautiful styles for free, unlike other apps that make you pay for packages and different fonts.

Download for free from the App Store
