The Tuesday best of - Word games for iPhone and iPad
Tuesday is here. It's Tuesday everyone. Okay, real talk, does anyone know what Tuesday is actually for? Has anything important ever happened on a Tuesday? Look back through your history books, and I bet you'll find that literally zero things have occurred on a Tuesday. Anyway, here at AppSpy on Tuesdays, we like to buck the trend by trying to do something interesting. It usually involves rounding up three of the best games in a genre. And that's what we're doing today. And we're having a good long look at word games. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to swoop over to the App Store and download them. And if you think there should be other games in the list, w…
The Monday Musing - Three genres that need the mobile deconstruction treatment
Oh my word it's Monday already. Dark and dreary Monday, cowering in a corner and scowling at anyone that dares to ask it how it's doing. A forgotten thing, lonely at all times, scorned simply for existing when it does. Poor Monday. But Monday also means it's time for a Monday musing. And this time around I thought we'd have a look at genres that could do with a sensible mobile deconstruction. We've seen it a lot recently, with games like Clash Royale and Wagers of War – titles that are taking the core ideas of a genre and then squishing them into mobile-sized packages. With that in mind, here are three other genres that I think are ripe for the squishing process. You might agree, you…

The Thursday Find - Brainful
Hi there, and welcome to another edition of Harry starts the first paragraph of a feature with something weird about the day.

Ah Monday, the greyest of days. Speaking its name out loud feels like ash in your mouth.
