  • Front Runners is a Great Combination of Endless Running and Politics

    Reviewed by Sarah Hanlon

    Whether you’re into politics or just enjoying the show from the sidelines, you may need to take a break from it all.

    Front Runners is a casual endless running game that is a great way to relax, have some fun, and take a much needed break from the current political hoopla.

    Developed by UX Fit, Inc., it features numerous hysterical cartoon images of famous political candidates and the opportunity to compete with other players around the world.

    Concept and Gameplay:

    With 2020 being a major election year in the United States, it’s without surprise that politics are a big talking point right now with many folks on either side getting angry and uptight.

    Front Runners is your chance to relax and chill as you experience its entertaining and comedic twist on the political process, which is actually pretty refreshing.

    You can play as a variety of political candidates, most of which you have to unlock one way or another. This endless running game requires you to swipe up, down, left, or right to dodge obstacles such as the media or even the Coronavirus.

    While running and avoiding obstacles you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the west coast.

    As you’re running, you’ll collect votes that can be counted towards your position on the leaderboard or used to purchase additional items like candidates and uniforms.

    However, you’re going to need to run for quite a bit of time seeing as the price for purchases is a bit steep. The better you get at the game, though, the more votes you’ll earn with each run.

    Features:

    The first thing you’ll notice when you start this game is the well-done fun colorful cartoon graphics. They perfectly match the spirit and tone of the game.

    But perhaps the best part about Front Runners is the actual gameplay itself. It’s pretty straightforward and simple – don’t hit anything and you’ll get a high score.

    The main reason why I really enjoy games like this is that you’re allowed to zone out and focus on just the game.

    This is a great “pick up and play” game that you don’t have to labor over and think much about. You may even get so good that you surprise yourself with new high scores!

    Along with additional candidates, you can also unlock a new map in Front Runners by spending gold coins.

    These coins are purchased with real money and can also be used to resume where you left off if you end up hitting something. If you don’t want to spend money, you can choose to watch an ad instead.

    Value:

    Front Runners is available to download from the App Store for free and is supported by ads.

    Though you can purchase coin bundles, it doesn’t look like there’s an option to turn the ads off with payment.

    Overall, Front Runners is a very fun endless running game regardless of your political leaning and even if you’re not into the political scene at all.

    The gameplay and graphics are great and it’s actually pretty challenging to get a decent high score. I certainly recommend giving it a try.

    Front Runners requires iOS 10.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

  • Metapho is THE Tool Every Digital Photographer Needs

    Reviewed by Sarah Hanlon

    The old cliche “A picture is worth a thousand words” is true, not just because photos can capture incredible moments, but because they also contain valuable information called metadata. 

    Metapho is an incredibly useful tool published by Zininworks, Inc. that allows you to read and edit an image’s valuable metadata in a clear and detailed way.

    Whether you’re a photographer or someone who wants to take control of their privacy when sharing photos, this is a very powerful app.

    Concept and Functionality:

    When it comes to photo apps, the main thing I look for as a reviewer is ease of use. This is primarily because users are often editing multiple photos and there’s nothing worse than having to waste time switching between menus.

    Though Metapho breaks down a ton of data for each photo, I was thrilled to see how easy it makes it to transition between individual images, albums, and even documents.

    The emphasis is clearly on simplicity of use as a viewer for photo metadata such as date, file name, size, camera model, shutter speed, location. You can adjust photo info one at a time or perform batch operations.

    Normally I save the part about upgrades until later in the review, but I’m switching it up for this one. While Metapho is a free app to download, you can only view photo metadata; you can’t remove metadata or change dates,  locations or share without upgrading.

    Features:

    Metaphor iPhone App

    Metapho is pleasantly full of surprises when it comes to extra features. For bulk photos, the app allows you to select batches of images so you can easily swipe through them in the detail screen.

    If you choose to upgrade and unlock editing, you can edit and remove information in bulk, as well.

    Documents contain valuable metadata, too, and can be explored in the Documents tab in Metapho. This is especially important for anyone who manipulates and/or shares sensitive documents on their device.

    Value:

    Metapho is available to download from the App Store for free, but as I mentioned above, you’re initially restricted on what you can do within the app.

    The price to unlock everything is $3.99.

    Usually I would say this isn’t a bad thing, but I think the app would benefit from having a trial feature that allowed you to edit a limited number of photos so those who are unfamiliar with manipulating metadata could see the value in upgrading to the full editor.

    Overall, Metapho is a very powerful app that’s great for casual users, photographers, and anyone who shares photos online. 

    Metapho requires iOS 13.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
