For all those die-hard fans of what is indubitably one of the best medical comedy-dramas of all times, Scrubs Lite should come as a delightful surprise. Is the application worth your time? Find out in today’s review.

As much as we love Android, we don't always love the stock keyboard Android devices come equipped with. We've tested a lot of alternative keyboards for you, and you'd think that by now we'd call it a day—but no, because in the world of Android there's always something newer, bigger and better just waiting to be discovered.

Today we're reviewing Smart Keyboard PRO for you, a virtual, highly customisable keyboard and multi-language dictionary for your Android phone or tablet. Is it a worthy alternative to the stock keyboard?

Many of you know and love Swype. The name speaks for itself: Swype literally allows you to enter words by swiping your fingers across the screen. Sounds great, but the problem is that it isn't so easy to get one's hands on Swype. The good news is that there are plenty of good – and sometimes great – alternatives out there—and SlideIT Keyboard is one of them. Let's take a closer look.

Even those of you who wake up every morning jamming to this song may enjoy a little harmless military real-time strategy gaming from time to time.
And if you like Tower Defense games, the tropical setting of Apocalypse Now (minus all the weird stuff that goes on in the jungle—'the horror'!) and RTS games for mobile devices, be sure to read on, because today we’re reviewing Tropical Stormfront for you, a new game for Android that combines all of the above.
 

No way—my battery can't possibly be dead again? I couldn't count the number of times I've uttered that sentence in disbelief and frustration. Luckily, I soon became wise to smart applications that help maximise battery life using personalised settings. JuiceDefender Ultimate is said kind of application, and according to its Market description it is both easy and intuitive to use and extremely efficient when it comes to power saving. Let's take a closer look then, shall we?

Switch is an airplane racing game that has a relatively simple concept: navigate a plane with the goal of keeping it in the air for as long as possible, and don’t crash into any walls. Sounds too easy? It’s not, because the plane keeps accelerating, so a few white knuckle moments are guaranteed—but does Switch have that ‘I’ll get you hooked’ addictive factor?

We’re on a roll with presenting blockbuster hit games this week—yesterday is was World of Goo and today its Fruit Ninja time. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will have heard of it, provided you are a gaming fan, of course. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case in the fruit salad. Fruit Ninja has been downloaded 250 000 times already (for Android and iOS).

Is it worth the hype?

World of Goo is one of the most popular and beloved indie games there is (if you can call this kind of smash hit an indie game). And, joy of joys, a version for Android was recently launched.

I had heard so much hype about this game – if you want the AndroidPIT inside scoop: our lovely office manager Inga told me that her eight year old daughter spends hours playing this on her tablet, and my fantastic colleague Valentyna from the Russian team confessed that she has stayed up all night, hooked to Goo – that I caved and decided to try it out for myself.

Do you know that delicious sensation of sinking into bed after a long day and just drifting off to sleep, letting all your worries slip away? And how good it feels to wake up fresh and well rested the following morning—especially if that following morning happens to be a Saturday?

Whether you’re a sleep hog or night owl, I’m sure you’ll agree that getting enough rest is absolutely essential to feeling and looking your best, and that not getting enough sleep can make you cranky at best and ill at worst.

So what’s the best way to catch some ZZZs, and what’s the right amount of sleep for a person? I recently read an article about people actually paying dear money to have professionals calculate their circadian rhythms for them. If you’re interested in sleep cycles but don’t want to dole out wads of cash, check out Sleep as Android, an application that promises to both monitor your sleep cycles and wake you during phases of light sleep thanks to its integrated alarm clock.
 

Oh, the sheer satisfaction that taking care of a to-do list entry can bring! Yes, sometimes ticking something off a list can make you feel as though you've actually accomplished something, no matter if it's something as menial as remembering to purchase all of the items on your grocery list, or finishing a big work / school project. I don't know about you, but I love my to-do and task lists, and when I see how much I have managed to check off said lists at the end of the day or week, I always feel like giving myself a little pat on the back.

We've tested a lot of to-do and task list apps for you, but that won't stop us from continuously prowling the Market and our App Center, always on the look-out for a new task/to-do list app that will help make our lives that much simpler. Our latest discovery: Tasks N Todos - ToDo List Mgr. Find out what we make of it in today's review.
