Where do you go in order to get away from the
hustle and bustle of modern life? Some of us love to slope off to the local Spa
for some serious unwinding and watery frolics, whilst others can chill down by
simply listening to their favourite band. But what happens when you’ve only 10
minutes of opportunity staring you in the face? It would be awesome to have a
button that we could press to bring an instant state of relaxation, but that
isn’t available as far as we know. So how about some of those relaxation Apps
that seem to be all the rage at the moment? Are they really that good or just a
load of hot air trapped inside a sexy Smartphone cover? We’ve got hold of two
of the latest iOS Market Apps for this article and promise an unbiased review
for your pleasure – so please sit back and relax!
Zen Bound 2 Universal By
Secret Exit Ltd - $2.99
This App will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and
iPad and it requires iOS 4.3 or later for smooth running. Okay, this App is
actually a game, but it brings some serious beauty to the table and is actually
very relaxing indeed. You will be amazed by the intricate graphics that kind of
draw you in without really letting you know. You can easily waste half an hour
in Zen Bound 2 and will definitely feel a lot more chilled after you finally
turn off. The aim of this game is to wrap a rope around various wooden objects
and the overall affect is very easy on the eye as well as allowing the user to
wind down nicely. It probably sounds like a load of tosh, but don’t knock it
until you try it. Zen Bound 2 will definitely work its Eastern magic on most of
you lucky souls.
TanZen Free By Little
White Bear Studios – Free
This App will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and
iPad and will require iOS 5.0 or later for smooth running. Surprise surprise,
our second iOS relaxation App is another game! TanZen is a very clever
combination of cool gameplay and chilled soundtrack, the 2 really work well
together and you’ll soon be drifting away on a cloud of smiles! The puzzles
will certainly offer a challenge to the most tightly wound mind set and as they
start to make sense, your mind will begin to relax. TanZen Free has 54 puzzles
onboard and some of them are downright complicated, but you’ll get them
eventually. The paid version contains 567 of these bad boys and only weighs in
at a measly $2.99. The reviews of this little App have already been rolling in
and you will soon see why. Just try the free version for a few weeks and we can
guarantee that the $2.99 version will soon be on your wish list – Awesome!
1,2,3 iOS and Relax!
So there you have it, both of these beauties
offer a sweet and safe retreat from this busy world…lovely!
