It’s nice to see an app like KIDFIT, which encourages children to 
not only move, but teaches them proper exercise techniques. It’s a shame, though, that the app’s interface doesn’t cater to that same audience. While it offers a wide variety of exercises, it crams up to 10 on the screen at one time, making it a challenge to select the one you want. The videos are a good idea to supplement the sometimes too-technical instructions, but the aspect ratio seems stretched, which can be distracting.

App review: Green Eggs and Ham
GREEN EGGS AND HAM is an impressive, loving adaptation 
of the children’s classic. It brings the book to digital form in whimsical fashion with easy-to-grasp controls and well-voiced characters. Oceanhouse Media has previously successfully transitioned several Dr. Seuss works into apps, including One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and The Cat in the Hat, and they haven’t lost their magical touch.
App review: Plunderland
Plunderland is a side-scrolling game, like early Sonic or Mario 
titles, that always keeps you moving forward. The premise is pretty basic: Sail from port to port, pillaging as you go, battling the English army, sharks, sea monsters, and (if you choose to engage them) island natives. It’s simple to learn, graphically appealing, and lets players interact with the environment to an impressive degree (much like Pocket God).
The movies meet Foursquare
Foursquare, a location-based application that rewards points and badges to users, is one of the fastest growing iPhone apps on the market. 
Now, another company is taking the framework of that technology and blending in films.
Miso focuses on the films you’re watching on your iPhone/iPod/iPad, awarding avid users who check in and share their favorite shows badges tied to genres and sub-genres of film and television.
