Spider Crush Forage- Game Review (Android)

Hi everyone,

So I have never reviewed a game before, so this is something new for me. I love playing all sorts of different games. I especially love ones I can play on my phone or on a tablet, they are a great boredom buster for on the go.

The game I am going to review for you today is called Spider Crush Forage. This game is free (this game does give you the option to make in-app purchases) to download and is currently only available to Android users. You can download for free on the Google Play store. Also, if you are a spider lover, this ones for you.

I love puzzle games, so when I found out about this I was really excited to try it. It is really quite addictive by trying to complete the level with the amount of moves given to level up. Also, if you can't complete a level and you loose your lives, it keeps you coming back to try to complete the levels. There are 50 levels to try and beat.

I love the colour scheme and the brightness. I also love that the sound effects aren't in your face. I love that when you make a good move or get a chain of good moves it says things like 'delicious' and 'tasty'. It makes you want to try and do those moves more as you know you are doing well. When you match more than 3 tiles, you get a special tile. The more squares you match the better the special tile.

Another thing I like about the game is the 'wheel of fortune' feature. Everyday it offers you a free spin. There are lots of good perks you have a chance of winning. There are prizes such as '+5 lives' and '15 seeds'. Seeds can be used to purchase more spins on the wheel.

There are a few areas for improvements from me. One is the spiders running all over the tiles of the game board. It can get a little annoying, but I guess this is part of the game. Another is that I would like the spiders on the tiles to be a little bolder and clearer. The last point I will make is, I wish it was available for Apple users, that way I can play on my mobile.

Other than that, I am hooked. I really enjoy playing this game.

Do you like puzzle games?

I hope you all have a happy Halloween!

Itsatashathing: an app called Vinted

Hi everyone,

Today I want to talk to you about an app called vinted. This can be downloaded from the apple and android app stores. You don't have to download the app as you can use it via a computer.

Vinted is an app where you can buy, sell and swap clothes. A little while ago vinted introduced being able to sell men's clothing, children's clothing, intimates and beauty products. I love Vinted as you can list for free and you will only get charged a small selling fee if you sell an item.

I have been on Vinted for over a year now and have sold, brought and swapped many items. I currently have a total of 77 items for sale. There are a large community one the site of what we call 'Vinties'. The Vinted community is lovely and you talk to one another via the forums.

Forums have different categories where you can create discussions about different topics. There is also a people and relationships category where you can seek advice from the community anonymously. 

My username is tashah.

I will go through a few things you can see on the app:

-Favourite items: favourite items (as you can see I have many) means when you like an item but may not have the money for it or want to explore other items, it gets put there so you can go back to it later. It's a bit like making a wish list.

-Personalisation: pretty self explanatory. Here you can change your size preferences, brands you like and follow and 'Vinties' you follow.

-Balance: again self explanatory. Here you can see when transactions have gone through how much you can withdraw or spend on Vinted. You can also see you pending balance from transactions you have made and are waiting for others to receive.

-My orders: here you can keep track of items you have sold or items you are waiting to receive.

-Bundle discount: bundle discount is a great incentive for other 'Vinties'. If you have this turned on (like I do) if someone has seen multiple items they like they can ask to do a bundle. They will then receive it at your discounted price. Discounts can be as little as 5% and as great as 50%.

-Invite friends and find friends: you can invite friends through email, Twitter or Facebook and find friends through Facebook and you mobiles address book.

-Holiday mode: if you are going away for a few days and won't be able to send items you can switch this on to avoid making people unhappy. You can even just switch this on if you want a break from selling items.

At the bottom which you can't see are settings, about Vinted and help centre.

Vinted also have their own social media accounts including a blog. (UK sites).
