Big Fish Unlimited Review

I absolutely love being able to promote local companies, and when it is something that my daughter and I enjoy, it is even better!  That is why I could not be happier to be reviewing another product from Big Fish Games, a Seattle company!  Last time I reviewed a specific game for them, but this time I get to tell you about a phenomenal service they offer that both my daughter and I love.

Big Fish Unlimited  is a service that this company offers that allows you to play a new game every day.  That's right!  I don't know about you, but I get bored easily if I have to play the same computer or smartphone game over and over again.  I am always on the hunt for new games, but I never know which game is good unless I download it and try it out.  And invariably, I find I don't like it, and I am on the hunt again.  My daughter has the same trouble.

What if there were a service that offered the best games for one flat rate per month?  You can play over 100 games on your PC or Android  (yes, I am quite partial to the Android platform),  and with that kind of selection, how can you go wrong?  And the price is only $7.99 a month.  You probably know from experience that buying a computer or Android game is often $3 or more per game, so even if you only play three games per month, you have already saved a bundle.  It honestly couldn't be easier!

My daughter and I were able to sign up for a free trial, and my daughter got right into playing games.  I honestly could not tell you what games she played, but I know it was fairly easy for her to navigate and find games that she liked.  She is the gamer in the family, so I didn't get a chance to actually play games, but I did check out the service.  I was fairly impressed with what I saw, and I saw many games that I wanted to try out.  The only problem we ran into was updating the flash player on our PC, but that was a relatively easy fix.  And it needed to be done, anyway.

Now, in case you are not familiar with Big Fish Games, let me fill you in on a few of the facts about the company.  As I stated before, they are based in Seattle, and their computer games are loved and player in over 150 countries.  Their customer service is top notch and is available in ten different languages.  The company was founded in 2003, and it is known all over the world as the premier casual gamer site.  In addition to its base in Seattle, it also has four other offices around the world.  You can find their games on several different platforms including PC, IPhone, Ipad, Kindle, Android, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS.

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the avid PC or /Android gamer in your life, look no further than Big Fish Unlimited.  How wonderful it will be that your gift can keep giving all year long (or as long/short as you like), and they will have that monthly reminder of your generosity.

The company gave me a free trial to this service in exchange for my honest review.  I will be financially compensated for my review, but I was not asked to provide anything but an honest review.

Phone Fetcher Product Review

PhoneFetcher takes the stress and hassle out of a person's day, by allowing you to always know where your cell phone is!

No more digging in our purses to find a ringing phone and missing calls! No more leaving your phone on some remote table or countertop!

No more forgetting phones, and leaving them places (home, office, restaurants, cabs etc.), only to have to backtrack to find it. No more mini panic attacks!

PhoneFetcher attaches to a purse, back pack, gym bag, baby bag, belt loop, etc. on one end,

and the other end attaches easily to the earphone plug of a smart phone, mp3 player etc.

PhoneFetcher is made on a stretchable bungee cord, which allows texting and viewing without having to disconnect the phone. When the phone is removed from the bag, we leave our PhoneFetchers hanging out of our bag to alert us as we leave, that we do not have our phone with us.

Phonefetcher is as easily removed from your phone as an earphone is, and comes in 8 fun colors!

What a unique product!  And very smart.  It is clear that this comes from a busy mom, and with Mother's Day coming up, this would be an ideal gift for mom.  Or even for the graduate!  That day is fast-approaching as well.

What did I think of it?  I enjoyed it immensely.  I didn't actually use it for my phone.  The reason is that I have a little purse that holds it in place.  I would definitely have used it for my phone if I didn't have that.  And here's why.

I used it for my MP3 Player!  Yes, I was so happy to learn that this could be used for ipods and mp3 players, and it was extremely useful.  The little end part goes into the spot where the headphones would go on the device.  And it fit perfectly! 

Why would I need this for an mp3 player?  I generally work out after I get off work, so my mp3 player sits in my bag, and I usually spend all this time digging through my stuff.  I usually have to take everything to get the mp3 player out of the bag.  In using this product, I clipped the other side of the cord to the handle on my workout bag. When I went to get my player,  I was amazed how easy it was to find.  I just followed the cord!

The company would like me to let you know that the silver chain model is coming out soon.  This will make the cord sturdier and much more stylish. My problem is that I need more of these.  I need one in every purse, every pocket, etc. 

When this product is used for a phone, I think that you would find that most want to like the product (even if they do not really like it). I can't tell you how many times I see people walking with a phone in their hand (and no strap or any restraining device.  And how many times does the phone end up on the ground and possibly cracked or damaged beyond repair?  The Phone Fetcher can help you out big time!  

Please watch out for a giveaway of one of these items in a little while because the sponsor has agreed to give one away.  You definitely will want to win one of these fantastic phone fetchers.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Bag It! Cell Phone Game Review

Well, this is a first for me, I must say.  I have reviewed lots of things, but a cell phone game?  You have to be kidding--no, I am not!  I got the amazing chance to review a cell phone game called Bag It! 

I am not an avid cell phone or video game player, but you might be able to guess who it--my 8-year-old daughter!  I have had an Android phone for years now, and I recently upgraded.  My Android is amazing--I have a Samsung T-mobile Sidekick, and it is very reliable.  My daughter thinks it is her phone, and she is constantly trying new games.

The first problem I had was downloading the game.  I am honestly quite tech-savvy, but sometimes things do not work right.  I used my g-mail address, and I was sent the game.  But I could not get it to download!  Here's a hint for anyone who ever struggles with downloading attachments on your phone.  Do not go to your mail app--go to your phone's browser.  I tried it yesterday, and it downloaded very quickly!

Once downloaded, I was pleased with the graphics in the game.  It also was an easy-to-understand game.  I absolutely hate cell phone games that are difficult to understand or play.  This one is pretty good.  The whole premise of the game is to fill up grocery bags with items without breaking any of the items.  I did well on the game, but as you can guess, my daughter did better!  I will say it is not for young children--there is a challenge involved.  But children as young as eight can definitely play it.  In fact, they will leave you in the dust!

This is an engaging game, and I am glad that we have it.  I enjoy the fact that it is easy to complete levels, but you are able to go back and try to increase the score you had.  No chance of beating my daughter's scores--especially for me!

I am impressed with the professionalism of the company.  When I had issues, I was treated with respect.  I would definitely look for more apps from this company in the future--Hidden Variable.

And watch out, readers, for a giveaway to soon be coming!  You won't want to miss out!
