In short; A generic review site that screams “average!”
CONTENT;
“App Data” is an iPhone/iPod Touch App Review Blog. Although the blog claims to offer reviews on not only apps but also cases and other products, this are seldom seen. The first thing I see is a sticky post welcoming me, with a “click me for a random post” button that doesn’t actually take me anywhere. The reviews are very detailed and informative. If I were looking for reviews for apps, this would be an excellent place to go to.
However, a lack of variety and so many posts could scare me away.
RATING; 3.5/5
DESIGN;
Red text – eye burning red, that is – is terrible. I really don’t see why so many people use it so terribly. The crew at App Data would be much better off using the default black coloured text or creating a workable colour scheme, because at the moment the default red and default blue aren’t working too well. The moving header is nice, and the colours used could help steer “App Data” into a colour scheme.
There are several clear graphics in the posts, obviously required in a review blog. But the colour of the text is a big turn-off.
RATING; 2.5/5
OVERALL;
There’s really not much else I can add to this [fairly short] review. “App Data”, while having great reviews, is just a generic review blog with very little to make me want to visit again. It also suffers from colour scheme problems, and needs to sort that out immediately.

Anyways, on with the show! Mind you, this is my first review since I reviewed The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga in November.

“Project XV VII IX Official Dev. Blog”, or “DivumDev” as I will be referring to it in this review, is a developmental blog about Phi’s upcoming RPG Game, “Project XV VII IX”. As you would expect from a blog of this nature, there are updates detailing the progress of the developments in the game which include screenshots from the game, headshots of characters and detailed descriptions. Mixed in with the updates are posts about Phi’s life. I enjoy reading Phi’s posts – his writing style, albeit casual, is easy to read and get used to, and often makes me want to beg for more.
The pages are straight-forward. One page details the first beta testing event for the game whilst another shows you how to become a beta tester. A further page lists the revealed characters in the game, each having their own subpage while the last has a few polls. However, if I were a newcomer I would be clueless as to what this project was. Apart from a four sentence summary of the blog on the sidebar, there is very little information as what it is. An “About” page, letting visitors know more about the creator and the game, is also a necessity.
Score: 4/5
DESIGN;
The overall design of DivumDev is very pleasing to the eye. There is a clearly visible colour scheme – sky blue, going hand in hand with the name “DivumDev” [Divum is latin for sky]. The header is magnificent and the colours used throughout the blog are wonderful. Even the colour of the links seem custom tailoured to suit the blue of the blog. The text on the sidebar, however, is a bit on the small side. An increased font size would work well.
The screenshots and other graphics appearing throughout are also eye pleasing.
Rating: 4.5/5
OVERALL;
“DivumDev” is a well-rounded blog with great content and marvellous design to back it up.
