    Color Dash! is an exciting fast-paced games that challenges you to think quickly and concentrate on the task at hand.

    Free through the iTunes Store, this game makes you think on your toes.

    Features:

    Color Dash!, as indicated by its name, is app where your quick recognition of colors is essential for success.

    However, you’re thrown for a twist in this clever game, by Hari Pingali. Even though your job is to correctly match the word color to the color block, the actual word itself is often spelling out a different color which really distracts your mind from its task.

    For instance, while the font coloring that you need to match is blue, the letters of the word itself might read “red.”

    As simple as this sounds it’s actually an impressively tricky game, particularly when paired with a need to work quickly.

    Different challenges such as constantly moving locations of colors within the game keep things fresh even when you’re feeling like an “experienced” player.

    Playing Color Dash! is a smooth operation; I found that the app didn’t lag at all as I worked towards trying to make high scores, although my brain definitely felt like it was lagging at times!

    As a whole, this app offers an entertaining way to challenge your brain.

    Color Dash! iPhone App Review

    Color Dash! iPhone Game

    However, while Color Dash! is a fun game conceptually, it’s a bit lacking in visual appeal.

    This is not just because the colors are very glaringly bright (it’s understood these colors are an essential part of the app) but it’s more an issue of an overall non-impressive usage of layout and fonts.

    Specifically, the typography within the app feels old and dated–and not in a classic, vintage way.

    The layout of Color Dash! is not intuitive; navigating through Color Dash! should be a seemingly simple task, but the in-app navigational titles aren’t as clearly descriptive as ideal.

    While this is definitely a fun game, it’s not one that will attract players through its graphics.

    Value:

    Color Dash! is an entertaining game. It’s simple to grasp the concept of, but it does make you think differently than your mind is naturally inclined.

    Mastering it takes a focus and concentration.

    The fact that it’s a free game definitely also adds to its appeal–anyone can download it to try it out risk-free. However, as mentioned previously, the visual appeal of Color Dash! is somewhat lacking; the graphics are much less exciting than those of many other quick-thinking apps on the market today.

    We expect this game to improve over time with more appealing graphics and a much improved user-friendly navigational system.

    download (4)Color Dash! requires iOS 6.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

    Learning how to get along with others is one of the most important skills you can develop as an adult. However, it never hurts to have a little assistance when it comes to gaining insight on your relationship with a friend or coworker.

    That’s where PersonalityMatch comes into play.

    PersonalityMatch is a fantastic personality app that uses the Myers-Briggs personality system to help you determine your personality type and see how it correlates with others.

    Concept and Functionality:

    Even if you’ve taken the Myers-Briggs test in the past and you know your personality type, PersonalityMatch, by Online Commerce Group BV, is worth checking out. It’s fun to use and doesn’t exhaust you with an endless set of questions.

    The built-in quiz took me a couple minutes to complete and my results matched what I’ve received before.

    Unlike other personality apps that tend to nickel and dime users, PersonalityMatch provides a wealth of information right out of the gate. You can easily see a detailed breakdown of your personality type and what each characteristic means.

    This is fantastic for anyone who has never taken the test before and would like to see a breakdown of each characteristic.

    The real reason it was developed centers around the ability to compare your personality type with someone else to see how compatible you are.

    This can be done with ease and the app rates your compatibility on scale of 0% to 100%. The higher the number, the more compatible you are.

    As you can probably imagine, PersonalityMatch is loaded with awesome features to help you understand yourself better.

    Along with in-depth details on your specific personality type, you can even connect with friends and see how you compare with them once they’ve taken the test for themselves.

    PersonalityMatch even features a career path analysis, but unfortunately it’s locked unless you pay $2.99. This isn’t really a huge drawback, though, because not everyone will be concerned about finding the right career.

    However, students and professionals who are looking to make a change will definitely find the information in PersonalityMatch useful.

    Personally I wouldn’t take it as serious career advice, but you may stumble on something you wouldn’t have otherwise thought of and get some real value from its assessment.

    Value:

    PersonalityMatch is available to download from the App Store for free and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad. Aside from the in-app purchases for extra features, you don’t have to worry about ads. As I mentioned above, the value of additional features totally depends on your situation.

    Overall, PersonalityMatch is a fantastic personality tool to help you understand yourself better and see how compatible you are with others.

    You’ll be able to gain insight into your relationships and analyze why they work the way they do.
