10 Entertaining Apps for your iPhone

If you’re new to the iPhone or simply bored with what you already have installed, check out these nifty apps that are quirky yet entertaining. Some are oldies but goodies, while others are simply apps you must have at least once in your life!

For the bored commuter

Temple Run

Turn, jump and slide your way through ancient temples while collecting coins along the way so you can buy power ups. Then cheat death by purchasing elite power ups with the riches you’ve hoarded. Temple Run is the go-to game for the bored commuter – you’ll want your ride home to last longer.

For the compulsive Facebooker

Fat & Aging booth

Nothing left in your life that isn’t on Facebook? Treat your Facebook friends to a photo of yourself – when you’re fat.

We don’t mean you have to eat a hundred cheeseburgers. Use FatBooth, and see what you’d look like if you weighed fifty kilos more! If that scares you, check out how you’ll look like in fifty years with AgingBooth.

For the retro-game addict

Jetpack Joyride

Relive days of yore with this quirky side-scroller, in which you are one man with a jetpack, and lots of enemies to kill! Collect coins and rain hellfire down on enemies in cute, science-fiction inspired areas. It updates regularly to suit the seasons – the latest update was for Christmas.

For the alcoholic

iBeer

Do you constantly find yourself reaching out for a mug of ice cold beer? Curb those cravings with iBeer, the iPhone app that utilises the phone’s sensors to their maximum, and lets you drink beer! For the non-drinkers, you can choose from coffee, milk, chocolate, water and cola. The fancy ones can drink champagne.

For the kid who never grew up

Gun Builder

At some point in our lives, we’ve all doodled our own versions of fantastic, kill-all guns in our jotter books. Those days have returned with a vengeance. Build and fully customise your own guns, with endless possibilities. Accessorise, then personalise them, and keep them sleek and shiny in a rack 

For the girl gamer

DragonVale

A girl could headshot folks all day on BattleField 3, but when it comes down to it, she really just enjoys management and sim games. Breed and raise dozens of adorable dragons on a magical, fully customizable, floating island! You can also make your dragons compete with others. Forget Skyrim and its lonely single player. This is the ultimate dragon-filled social experience.

For the really bored person

Milk the Cow

Milk the cow as fast as you can, ignoring stares from curious commuters as you pull on realistically-drawn teats!

For the eBook reader

Cyanide and Happiness

iPhones are a little too small to read eBooks on, especially if you prefer not to go blind. Read a webcomic instead! The Cyanide and Happiness series has its own app, and there’s no surprise it’s already become the #1 Paid App in Entertainment. C&H are just that good.

For God

Pocket God

Just kidding, this is really more for the fan of games like Black & White. Concept and gameplay remains the same, save for the uber cutesy graphics and the addition of episodes, instead of free-for-all village-stomping.

For the everyman

WhatsApp

It’s an app. It’s entertaining. Millions of people around the world depend on it. Need we say more?
