Asphalt 5

Warning! Racing cars can be hazardous to your health!

Especially if you’re playing Asphalt 5…the coolest, funniest racing game available for mobiles and tablets. You can choose to drive any of the 30 dream cars, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, in 12 locations, such as St Tropez and
Aspen, and challenge yourself in any of eight racing formats, such as Drifting, Cop Chases, Time and Last Man Standing.

You can download the free version of GameLoft’s awesome app but you should rather spring for the (rather expensive) Pro version. You won’t be sorry!

The graphics and accelerometers in smart phones bring Asphalt 5 to life and make it a very seriously addictive gaming app.

You have been warned!

Living Earth

Living Earth is an awesome app for keeping track of times and weather around the world. If you have business colleagues, friends or relatives in another country, you can select their town to know their local time and weather
conditions at all times.

The app features an HD spinning Earth graphic that allows you to zero in on chosen locations or even to view the world in various formats such as current and forecast clouds, temperature, or wind renditions. It also highlights current storms and allows you to zoom in over them. Living Earth is published by Radiantlabs.
