WEEI (Boston) Mobile App

Platforms: iPhone, Android, Blackberry

Did the shake up of WEEI’s afternoon roster take you by surprise? Do you feel you should have savored you last few moments with Dale Arnold, but were travelling too much, had a work IT admin that frowns on excessive streaming? Now, you have a way to stay connected to what was once the highest rated sports talk radio station in the entire US, and thus, the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins. You could probably follow the New England Revolution too – but really, who cares about MLS. In addition to near constant streaming of the greatest sports teams in the country, you can also read columns and blog posts  penned by WEEI’s ever growing collection of The Hub’s greatest sportswriters. The app also has a significant video library should you need even more entertainment. This free iPhone app is perfect for those who cannot get enough coverage as all your teams march towards yet another championship season.

You won’t be able to quell your desire to play Quell…

Platforms: iOS, Android

Quell, available on iOS and Android, is an imaginatively simple yet surprisingly deep little puzzler from indie developer Fallen Tree Games. In this little zen masterpiece, you must move droplets of rain on a window to pick up tiny pearls that dot the playing level. As with the physics axiom – an object in motion will stay in motion – a rain drop will continue across the screen unless it hits something. While blocks can impede your little ball of water’s path, many levels are littered with spikes, which split your drop and end your turn. However, Quell, unlike many other puzzlers, does not have a clock and has unlimited replays. Finally, Quell’s soundtrack is quiet and smooth, very soothing after a long day at work. Quell is currently free and Fallen Tree Games has recently published a sequel, called Quell Reflect, which retails for a tiny $1.99.
