Appletell reviews Choose Your Own Adventure – Return to Atlantis for iPhone, iPod touch

Yes, I used to read Choose Your Own Adventure books. Of course I did. I was in grade school when the series launched, so I was there at the right time. And although I used to own quite a few of them, I have no idea where they ended up. The attic at my parents’ house? A garage sale? Donated to a fund raiser? I’d like to have them back, because I think they’d be fun to read to my own kids now. Assuming that’ll never happen, I guess my iPhone will suffice.

Magnetism Studios has released the Return to Atlantis Choose Your Own Adventure book for the iPhone, and they’ve done so faithfully. The original cover remains. The illustrations remain. Even the “This book is different from other books” warning remains. Fans of the series will be thrilled, but what about everyone else? If you’ve never chosen your adventure, is this book worthy of your App Store dollars? Well, in the spirt of things, I’ll let you choose.

Appletell review – FileMagnet for iPhone/iPod touch

FileMagnet is a wireless data storage app for iPhone and iPod Touch. It is one of a few applications that share many of the same features, but the same purpose—to store and view files on your iDevice. But is FileMagnet the best choice among these apps?

I’ve reviewed DataCase in the past, so this isn’t the first file storage app that has graced my iPhone. DataCase is an amazing app, there’s no question there. But FileMagnet does essentially the same thing for less, has unique features, and outperforms DataCase in some circumstances.
