In the age of smartphone applications, it's easy to understate the value of the humble SMS, but text messages account for the majority usage of mobile phones. Even though most tariffs have a reasonable allowance for SMS, the limits are still within sight for heavy users. What's more, on a per-byte basis, SMS is very expensive. This is where Whatsapp steps in, offering an Internet-based SMS/MMS alternative, which doesn't limit the amount of messages you can send or even which part of the world you're sending them to.

Time to break open the oldie game ideas from Lunasoft as they ask "how long can you keep your toy paper plane flying through the air, avoiding the obstacles in your path?" This is a simple idea that's been addictive (for me) in other versions. How does Paper Plane compare?
Time to grab your pop-corn and prepare to hide behind the sofa. Yes, the iconic zombie movie, “Night of the Living Dead”, is now available as an app for Symbian. Please, no jokes about Symbian itself now being a member of the living dead! We've already seen e-books sold as self-contained applications, so can video translate into the same business model? Read on to find out.
We reviewedAlawar's Farm Frenzy last year. Well, the farmyard madness is back with Farm Frenzy 2. Sequels are always difficult to get right though. If you're a mobile gamer looking for a frenzied challenge of screen bashing and resource management, with a dash of cuteness; then you should read on to find out more!
I've long been a fan of sports simulations, bringing outdoor games and activities into the virtual world of your always-with-you smartphone. So, even if you're stuck on a train or just lying in bed, you can still go driving, for example, whether in a car or on the golf range(!) Mobile Darts aims to take that most unathletic of sports and bring it in similar virtual form into Symbian smartphones. Which it does, at the expense of introducing an unexpected level of ability frustration...
Physics is everywhere, whether you realise it or not. Everything we do involves it, and our environment is determined by it. Yes, Physics is a rather important part of life. As such, today's review is of Physics Reference, a pocket guide to life, the universe, and everything, or is it? Read on to find out.
Having trouble getting off to sleep is something that afflicts many of us from time to time and there as many remedies as there are people willing to proffer their opinion. One such which is surprisingly effective is something monotonous or relaxing to listen to, which is where Sleep Machine comes in, a free application by the Pico Brothers.
Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Look, this is going to be painful, maybe you should just stop reading now. You see, last week there was a bit of a scuffle in the AAS chat room, because Pipe Mania had shown up in the Ovi Store and we all wanted to review it. I got the short straw (I just didn't realise it at the time). Put together by AppsOnGo, this doesn’t appear to be a licenced version of the game, and while it does have the same starting point as the traditional PipeMania, it rapidly goes horribly wrong.
Smartphones have replaced many of our everyday items, the wristwatch, the calculator, and even the Dictaphone. If the latter applies to you, then you’ll be interested in this review; especially if you think the Symbian (Sound) Recorder isn’t good enough for your needs. Recordoid Lite is a high quality sound recording application, but does it have what it takes to survive in the social media generation? Read on to find out.
WeatherBug is a big name in weather - just look at their apps for every other platform and browser known to man. And now it's on Symbian too, courtesy of the ease of app development that is Qt. For all Symbian^3 phones (and a few S60 5th Edition ones which you've been brave enough to install Qt onto), WeatherBug is a fairly comprehensive solution, whatever your forecasting and meteorological needs - and it's totally free, which always helps!
