Manage Your Medication with ‘Pillboxie’ for iPhone [Review and Giveaway]

If you take a lot of meds, you know how much of a pain it can be to manage all of your prescriptions. Unless you've got a steel trap for a memory, it can be difficult to remember when to take all of the different pills in your medical arsenal.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was an easy to use, pretty app for managing your meds on the iPhone? The developer and designer of Pillboxie (who is also a registered nurse) thought so too. If you're a pill popper, this one's for you...

Verbs for iPhone – There’s Finally An IM App That Apple Would Be Proud Of

There's a new iPhone IM client on the block. Verbs, by #include tech software, is a simple and beautiful IM app that looks like it was designed by Apple itself.

There are a ton of IM apps on the App Store (IM+, BeejiveIM, fring, AIM and Yahoo! Messenger to name a few).  I've used many, and honestly, most of them look pretty awful. I was so excited when I saw the Verbs design mockups several months ago, and the app recently received an update in the App Store that makes it definitely worth reviewing.

While I'm not someone who constantly relies on instant messaging to communicate, I do see the benefit of having a solid IM app on the iPhone for occasionally hopping on Google Talk. The good thing is that Verbs has more to offer than just good looks...

Dring – Beautiful Ringtone Creation On The iPhone [Review and Giveaway]

Apple has been allowing ringtone creators on the App Store for several months now, but there has yet to be an app that stands out from the rest. We've talked about creating ringtones for the iPhone before, but there has yet to be a really elegant and simple way to create ringtones straight on the iPhone.

Dring, by Wake Apps, is the newest addition to the ringtone creator catalog. Dring is "cream of the crop" caliber when it comes to quality of design. The app is truly gorgeous. Every pixel is fine-tuned and perfectly placed; everything feels smooth and responsive.

Besides good looks, Dring has all of the features that a good ringtone app should have. Creating ringtones is a beautiful breeze with Dring...

This news is a great thing for app users around the world. You now have the opportunity to receive codes for apps that developers wish to share for free...

More Apps Giveaway: Star Walk and Solar Walk

App Review + Giveaway: Protector – The Planes [Sponsored]

Protector: The Planes is the fifth incarnation of the game in the series. The series first showed its face face in 2008 with Protector. Since its first release the PC version has been played over 50 million times on the PC and Protector 4 is ranked in the top 25 best games at Kongregate (over 30,000 flash games). So being the 5th down the line, but first on the iPhone, iPod and iPad (iOS 3.1.3 or later) it's already got an excellent track record.

What is it?

For those of you who've never heard of the series, it's a medieval and fantasy

based tower defense game with great emphasis on upgrades (outside of the level) and strategic placement of the units. In short, it's a medieval/fantasy RPG style tower defense game. I've got to tell you, this thing's huge. With 32 maps, 40 enemy types and 20 hours of game play, hope you have some sick days left from work, this game is gonna take a while to finish.
