Facebook Application Review of Gadzooku

My Pet's Sudoku on Facebook??


Hi my friends, I know I've been absent some time but now I am back to provide you the Latests Facebook Applications Reviews. So let's get started.
Todays Facebook Review is about the new application called Gadzooku. Gad..... What??, yes... that's exactly what you get when you mix the classical and well known Zudoku you mix it a little bit with colors and cute Pets.

Well basically this Facebook application is a simple Zudoku game with an interesting twist, instead of numbers to be ordered we have some little cute pets which are waiting anxious for their respective place inside the board. There are four different levels easy, medium, hard and Expert. Also we have the option to solve the game automatically just to see how we should have done it.



The design of this Facebook Application is very colorful and fun, and the little pets are very very very cutes. So if you are looking to wash the face of your old Sudoku so as to still play but feeling that something changed for good... this Facebook App is for you.

My qualification for this application is 4 out of 5... I am a big fun of Sudoku and animals and when two passions are melt together the results is just amazing.

Facebook Application Review of cooleCard

Why expensive design programs, when you can do it in FACEBOOK for free??

Hey my Facebook funs, today's Review is about the Application called cooleCard. This useful user friendly application is, as it's name reveals is an Application to make/design/create Greeting Cards, design inside the universe of Facebook.

Once we install this interesting Application we can either get started with the creation of Cards, or take some time to go through the tutorial that explains every little thing of the Application in detail.

Basically what we can do is create unique Greeting Cards, either by using/modifying a template or from scratch. Also if you are in the mood of sharing your creations with the Facebook community you can design a template and share it with your friends. (some Templates)


What's good in this application is that there are almost no restrictions at the time of making the Greeting card, so if you want to add videos to your design you can do it.... music?? also possible... text... piece of cake. Look my great Greeting Card design!!!



Once the design is done there is one last thing to do with the Greeting card, and I must confess while writing this Facebook Review, that this last step is a very good idea... you have to decide either if the Greeting Card will be Public (it means that everybody will be able to see it), or exclusive only for those whom we really want to be able to see what we have done.

So basically that's the whole application, the design and tools provided by the application are very good and easy to use. The qualification of this Review is a 4.2 our of 5.

Facebook Application Review of Send Love

All you need is Love.... FACEBOOK singing

Facebook Application - Send Love
In times like this when Social networks are playing a strong Role in human relationships... and lot's of times they are becoming the place where to meet new people, applications like this offer a fast and simple solution for those who want to express their love in the digital era, and here goes one example in today's Facebook Review.

The name of this nice and simple to use Facebook Application is "Send Love" , and as you can imagine the purpose of this app, is to spread love to all your friends... and maybe lovers... Why not??? inside Facebook.


So here goes the explanation for this Facebook blog. Once we install the application we find ourselves facing a big window with lots of love symbols to be send. Once we select one we select to whom this beautiful present should be sent... and that's it. It couldn't be easier. The amount of articles allowed to send will increase when we achieve a certain number of deliveries, going from level 1 to level 2 and so on.



In the main window there are also two tabs where we can see our received items, and sent items. Every time we send an item we can also send a customized message with it and ... that's pretty much the whole Application.

The qualification of this Facebook Review is 3.0, it's a nice application with nice pictures and the name sends good vibes. Enjoy it and never forget to send love, somebody will smile you back for sure.

Facebook Application Review of iWanna

iWant this and this and this in FACEBOOK it's all listed.

Today's Facebook Review is about the application called iWanna developed by Giftabular. If we wanted to tag this new application it would definitely fit in the group of " Problem Solver Applications" ... and the reason why I say this is because this simply app can be a great solution for one of the biggest problem that we all face, when it comes to Birthdays/anniversaries....


That's right, this interesting Facebook Application is about listing the things that we want to buy or receive as presents so all our Facebook friends can see this, and if they want... chip in...WHAT???, yes that's right, once you listed all the things you would like to have/receive people can go through the list and buy it for us or simply contribute so as to bring that dreamed article closer to our reality.

The use of this application is very simple, once we install it we browse around some articles, and when we find something that we want to add to our desired articles list (My wish - tab) we simply click on the Wanna! button, add a name for the wish..., let's say my Birthday so as to let people know that you want that article as a birthday present, and that's it.


Once the article is listed as one of our wished articles, our Facebook friends are informed that a new article has been added to our wish list, and that's the moment when social networking starts doing it's magic. Because all our friends can chip in to contribute to buy the product.

One great thing about this application is that even though our friends help doesn't reach the %100 of the price of the article we can always add the difference so as to redeem the products. So if you take this into account you can always list expensive products and everybody can chip in as much as they want and leave the rest for you.

Regarding the payments, everything is done through paypal, reliable and fast, and there are no extra costs if the payments are of $10 and above. the only bad thing that I found about this Application is that all the product selection has to be made through the amazon code of products and sometimes this way of browsing is not the most comfortable one(specially while writing this post in this Facebook blog). So hopefully through time this will be modified to a fully visual window of products so as to find something and click it without thinking about codes. But overall and besides this small detail this is a great Application.

My qualification of this Facebook Review, is 4. out of 5, I am planning to make my birthday list of presents through this Application and like this avoid receiving all those presents that sometimes are very expensive but far away from what I really wish to receive.

Facebook Application Review of Outfit Factory

Facebook and Fashion walking together


Todays Facebook Review is about the Application called Outfit Factory which is a fun and interesting application for those who are in love with fashions, and the help seekers that every time they open their closet.... start calling friends or family members to ask for advice to match their cloth.

Basically this Facebook Application is about creating different types of Outifit matchings, yes... you read right, out of a very interesting list of cloth articles you can create different types of matchings so as to test your ability as a fashion designer or clothings guru/assistant :)..

Anyway, the idea is fresh and new out of all the different type of Facebook Applications that were Reviewed on this Blog, and that is for sure a plus.

The quantity of articles from where to make the matches is very wide, and you can browse them either according to color, or brand. Once you make your pick, let's say on the type of shoes you want to use for your matching, you click on the picture so as to make it appear on your personal Mannequin. When we finish selecting all the articles, we can name our grouping, and tag it under some Fashion style.

You can also use this Facebook Application so as to make some matching to our friends, so you can be a sort of adviser. Also there is a ranking with the most voted matchings and their creators.

So this is all for this Facebook Review, my qualification a 3.8 out of 5 I think that all new ideas are always welcome for Facebook users that little by little get tired of getting invitations to install the same type of applications over and over again.

Facebook Application Review of Pokey!

He is like real, living inside of FACEBOOK

I am just Amazed, today Facebook Review is about the Application called Pokey!. This new Application is maybe one of the best examples of interaction between Facebook Interface and Flash Animations.

Spokey, is Basically one out of the tons of Facebook Applications were you can adopt a virtual Pet. The quality of the graphics and animations are outstanding, something that yet after making already more than 50 Facebook Reviews for this Blog, I ' ve never seen.

Once installed the Application Pokey!, we will see out little and cute dog behaving like a real dog. Sitting, moving his head, and scratching every once and then. We can feed it, throw him the frisbee which he will run to fetch it, and also tell him to bring the bones back to us.

What's really amazing of this application is as I said before the quality of the animation and it's realism. This Application also offers some features to provide social interaction between the Facebook users, such as petting other's people Dogs, and getting extra bones for our beauty when we invite some of our friends to install the applications.

Some good things about this Facebook Application, rarely seen are the ones listed before installing it, things such as not forced friends invitation, no advertising neither spaming for those who fall in love with their cute pets.

My qualification is a 4 out of 5, this Application is one of a kind, and I really hope as the writer of all this Facebook Reviews to find more applications with such a high towards graphics and animations.

Facebook Application Review of Draw a Pig

Pigs taking control over FACEBOOK.

I know what you are thinking right now!!, a Facebook Review of a new Application called Draw a pig, and my answer will be why not??, after all in this Facebook Blog we had made Reviews of all types of applications and this one might have some entertaining twists.

So here we go with the Facebook Review of this Application called Draw a Pig.

When we open this application we find ourselves facing a drawing box where we have to proove ourselves how good we are on drawing. Once our little pig, or thing in my case is drawn, the application will scan the piece of art and will make us some questions regarding the way we decided to paint the pig.

After this short questionaire, a whole profile of the pig will be shown, relating those things to the creator of the pig and his personality. So this is the whole application, nothing more and nothing less. In my case the personality description matched incredibly well with my personality and that's the reason why I decided to make this Facebook Application Review.

My qualification is a 3 out of 5, my pig looks really bad, but who cares, it mathces my personality!!! : -)
