It’s a great file manager and document viewer, not the best out there, but decent enough.

Connect and Pop: Classic Connect Four – and more – on your iPhone or iPad!
When I was a kid one of my favorite games to play was Connect Four, the classic game where you connect four of one’s own discs of the same color next to each other vertically, horizontally, or diagonally before your opponent.

Review : Fingstar for iPad
I’ve tried a few apps that attempt to be “twister for your fingers”, but the best one I’ve used by far is Fingstar. The level of detail and thought that went into the app is top-notch, the game play is easy at first and gets plenty harder as you go, and it can be played alone or in a group. It’s a very successful modern approach to the old classic with a twist. Read on…
