Review: BookBuddy for iPhone

In its current iteration, this app for keeping track of your book collection shows some promise, but it still feels like an incomplete work in progress.

Review: Sportacular Pro for iPhone

Sportacular used to be among the top sports scoreboard apps in the App Store. But recent updates have made it a bloated offering with increasingly frustrated load times. And the paid version of the app suffers from the same weaknesses.

This companion app to the well-regarded desktop personal finance offering doesn't offer a lot of features, given its steep price tag.

Among the trio of "text sim" soccer games reviewed here, Football Manager Handheld 2010 is an absolute blast to play. Championship Manager 2010 Express can't match Football Manager for depth, but it's fun in its own right. Soccer Manager lacks the polish of the two other games.

Review: GameTrac for iPhone

It's simple to enter and track your stats with this app, which does a pretty good job charting your progress at sports and leisure activities. But GameTrac is less adept when it comes to keeping cumulative totals. And it's rather limited at what it will display.
