MOBIDEV: Best and Worst Android Application


BEST:
1.     











 Airport Mania 

Airport Mania is a popular mobile application in Android and iOS devices. One of the reasons that users keep downloading this application is because of the challenging and unique game mode it holds. The user interface of Airport Mania causes a huge factor to users because it represents a cute and bright graphics. The sound track of the Airport Mania is also an additional point for the application; it matches the game mode perfectly. Airport Mania has a lot of gameplay. For your airport you can buy new plans, upgrade them with in flight movies, or work on faster terminals. You can also sell some of your upgrades to help you buy new ones.

2.












      Fruit Ninja

 I consider Fruit Ninja as one of the best android app I have played because of its addicting game play. The user interface is simple, yet the main game mode keeps it interesting for the user to play as long as he wants. The objective of the game Fruit Ninja is to slice every fruit without slicing any bomb. The bad side of this game includes the slow game updates compared to iOS. Nevertheless, this is the kind of android mobile application that I always look for.

3.     

        














Angry Birds 

The most recognized game application is Angry Birds. This application is worth its title because a lot of people are hooked in this kind of game play. The good part of the application includes the increasing complexity in levels which challenges the users and sharing score points. The bad part of Angry Birds Application is the different game modes that the application consists. The gameplay is quite simple: you have to launch birds at stationed on or within various structures by using a slingshot. The goal is to destroy all the pigs on the playfield either hitting the pigs directly or damaging the structures, which would cause them to collapse and kill the pigs.



WORST:

           








     









Pocket God

 Pocket God is not a recommendable application because the game play is too common and the user interface contains colors that are irritating to the eyes. As you can see in the picture above, the characters and color combination of the app makes it less amusing. According to the reviews available in the internet, the application force closes on some devices such as Sony Ericson and HTC. I haven’t experienced any force close yet I don’t support this application mainly because of the objective of the game.















  



GBAAndroid

GBAAndroid is a Game Boy Advance emulator for android platform. It contains issues in the application such as slow in loading different programs. The application also does not support android V2, V3, and V3.1 which is a major disadvantage. Force close or Crash issues are also present in this application.  





















Tatttoo Mania

   I don’t seem to like Tattoo Mania application because it is too simple. In my opinion, the application is useless and there is no point downloading it. Basically, the purpose of this application is to trace the marks or tattoo to be used by the random character and once it is finished, the game is over. Although the user interface of Tattoo Mania is quite good compared to other applications, still the main point of the game is not very entertaining.
