Best and Worse Android Applications

Best Apps:
1. Fruit Ninja

Fruit ninja is an exciting game that composes of an environment that looks like a chopping board and various/numerous fruits fly up in the board needing to be sliced into multiple debris. Each slice will earn you points that accumulates along with the amount of slicing that you do and combos (Multiple fruits in one slice). The game itself is very entertaining due to the fact that it is thrilling to see yourself excessively slicing through fruits. Interface wise it fully uses the whole screen of each phone and Game Wise, really thought out game concept which made the game a hit by popular demand.

2. NinJump

I don't get tired of playing this because even though the objective of the game is to just reach as high as you can at the same time kill the enemies who will try to bust your way up. It is so easy to play, just tap the screen for the character to function. The graphics is simple but still attractive maybe because of the colours they used.

3. Twitter

A very useful app when you have a wifi or a 3GS enabled device. Twitter can be used already as a messaging tool by just tagging your friends to the message content that you plan to send. Also, it shows the trending topics around the world, which is very useful when you need news or updates on anything. The interface in the android device has all the interface items in their twitter website, thus its fully useful. Functionality for me is 9/10. A must-have application in the android market.

Worst Apps:
1. TicTacToe

A game that is playable on a piece of scratch paper. If they plan to do an application similar to this, they should integrate interesting side games or something more innovative and fun. This game's rating for me 2/10.


2. Falling Ball

A very simple game where you need to avoid the falling balls by tilting your device. The game would have been better if they used better graphics, the user is only represented by a stick man and the background is very plain. The user interface is not appealing for me. Furthermore, I think they should add more spice to the game by adding more features like bonuses and such. Overall, I would rate this game a 2/10.

3. Toilet Paper Pull

I really think that this game is too useless. The objective of the game is to see how fast can you pull the toilet paper. The graphics is also not appealing for me because the color combination doesn't match. My rating for this game would 1/10.
