Recently, Tinder has made headlines for being the top-grossing app in all of the App Store. While the app has been widely popular for enabling online dating without any barriers or stigma, monetizing its users has been a challenge that has taken a significant amount of time to get right.
The most recent update made to the Google search app includes the ability to see what the current trending searches are. Although trending is a feature that is commonly associated with social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, the integration of this to the search engine is regarded as a shrewd move that resembles Facebook mimicking the “story” feature of Snapchat. Despite being similar in nature, there are significant differences between the two features that blur the line on whether or not they are similar enough to be regarded as a copy.

Titanfall Assault is a bold attempt by Respawn Entertainment, Nexon, and Particle City to transfer the mech-filled, parkour-powered FPS action of Titanfall to mobile devices.

Earlier this month, I set out to recommend a list of keyboard apps, but as I kept trying more and more of them, only one truly stuck out to me: Cheetah Keyboard.
Guns of Boom was quite a surprise when it hit the appstore. A tight, tongue-in-cheek multiplayer FPS with one hell of a gameplay twist – an automatic trigger!
Loner is a unique experience. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than yet another infinite runner (or, more specifically, an infinite flyer) with a minimal art aesthetic. It’s not until you play it that you really come to appreciate what Loner has to offer. Rather than being an intense test of reflexes, Loner is… relaxing. You’ll find a lot of apps on the marketplace that swear they can help you calm down, but Loner actually does a marvelous job. It’s not perfect, but Loner is an amazingly satisfying way to take the edge off.

In Downgeon Quest, you’re just an average peasant dealing with a particularly infuriating varmint. It flees to your basement, having stolen something from you.
One of the most popular games ever to be invented, Tetris, has taken on many forms in the past to include new challenges, modes, and styles. As a classic game that requires players to fit blocks of varying shapes into a row in order to gain points and survive, this notion has evolved from a simple, single-player game to one that can encompass many players battling one another simultaneously. With this, another game that has emerged in the app space that closely resembles this type of gameplay is Bee Nest Puzzle which takes a creative spin on the original Tetris.
