Five Summer Apps You Simply Must Have

The sun is out and the weather is warm, but that doesn’t mean that you have to spend all your fun out in the sun and away from your deep-lying gaming habits. The reality is that thanks to smartphones and tablet devices, you can now enjoy the best of both worlds as you slip your sunglasses on and relax in the sun, all the while enjoying the top picks of the summer on your handheld device. Here are five apps you simply cannot afford to miss this summer.

Star Walk 2
The next-gen sequel to the best-selling Star Walk, its successor has made incredible waves on the app market since its release in late August. Still considered to be a hot new addition to the app store, the stargazing tool allows you to embark on a fluid and free-flowing adventure through the stars, all the while picking up vital information and constellation names and groupings. Simply pointing your smartphone device into the sky will have you feeling like you are walking among the stars.

Drink aware: Track and calculate units
With the summer months bringing holidays, fun and festivities aplenty to the table, the likelihood is that you will be consuming a fair amount of alcohol! But, with the drink aware tracker, you can help keep track of exactly how much alcohol you are consuming and make sure you are not going over your limits! There’s fun and then there’s too much fun, and this app will help you keep yourself from tipping yourself over the edge!

32Red Casino
We wouldn’t usually recommend a gambling app as the interest is more of a choice rather than a simple pick up and play a game, but several reviews have made us change our mind. This is the website that met our expectations and gave the site such a favourable review, while the app also represents good value for those who want to earn a quick buck while lying in the sun making the most of their vacation.

Modern Combat 5
When a game needs an internet connection, several iPhone specifications and a lot of memory, you know it is going to be a strong force on the app market and that’s exactly what Modern Combat 5 is. Think of it like Call of Duty, only for your smartphone and with graphics that have a depth comparable to that of the highest calibre shooters. The storyline will grip you, but in truth the game will have no trouble hooking you in for the long haul.

Crazy Taxi: City Rush
We have saved the best until last as Crazy Taxi arrived on the app store this August. The game was a hit classic for fans of arcade gameplay and lower generation consoles such as the PlayStation One and Two. Nostalgia alone makes this game a must-have and given the fact the game is free to play, this one has truly wet our appetites! Car crash chauffeuring is at its finest on this fantastic game for people of all ages.
