After launching the app, you're given a slideshow of featured stories--strangely, you can't go to a story by tapping on it, but instead need to hit the Features button to get access to full stories. Even with this oversite, the columned layout of the stories in the Featured section makes browsing for music news incredibly easy and enjoyable. A swipe upwards lets you move further down the page so you can view more stories, and a tap on a story brings it up in a pop-up window for easy reading. Muzine is great for perusing the latest headlines, but you also can create a custom news feed that only shows your favorite artists. Simply search for artists via the search button, then touch "Read on My News" in the upper left. Now you'll have a custom feed of stories that only relate to your favorite artists. If you just want to look at all the news and info for a particular band, perform a search using the name of the band, touch the name from the search results, then you'll be brought to that bands info page. Here you can read the latest news, view the band's biography, look at photos, watch videos, see tour dates, and more. The app also has a Similar button, so you can discover artists and news stories that are similar to your favorites. To round out the feature list, Muzine offers a social component where you can view other users' favorite bands and news stories.
You'll need to register to connect with other users of Muzine, but once done (from within the app), you also can take advantage of the app's syncing capabilities that let you sync your prefs to multiple devices. Overall, if you want to get the latest music news or just want to follow your favorite artists, Muzine offers a nice layout for reading, new ways to discover music, and a place to check out what your friends are listening to.Dyson Dc40 Operating Manual lets you play a 2D version of the megapopular game Minecraft, using many of
the same sounds and graphics--so much so that we're surprised it's still available in the iTunes App Store. Mojang's Minecraft has achieved a huge following for its open, sandbox style of gameplay, letting you manipulate every block in the world. Once you've gathered the right materials, you can make picks for mining, axes for chopping down trees, torches so you can see at night, and a whole laundry list of other items. Dyson Dc40 Operating Manual offers a similar experience, but all in 2D. For those who have played Terraria (another game that closely resembles Minecraft in many respects), Dyson Dc40 Operating Manual feels a bit like a Minecraft-skinned Terraria. But other than the 2D, this gaming experience is all Minecraft. It has the same sounds, and the blocks (such as blue diamond blocks, black coal blocks, and orange iron blocks) will be immediately recognizable to Minecraft players. Though we're excited to play a Minecraft-like game on iOS, the control system for Dyson Dc40 Operating Manual seems unnecessarily complex. You have buttons on either side for hitting blocks, a place-block button on the left, and a jump button on the right. To move you use an invisible directional pad on the left side of the screen (left and right), and you'll need to swipe on the right side of the screen to aim your character. This aiming system is where it gets a little confusing: though it's probably necessary to have it for aiming at specific blocks, what ends up happening is that simple movement won't turn your character around, so you'll end up walking backward a lot just to get where you need to go. This is not a huge problem, but it does mean that you're required to move to each block, aim at it, then start mining--a time-consuming and less th
