Cell phone users are often on the move and this explains the large number of applications geared towards helping travellers wherever they go. One of the most successful travel programs available for handheld computers is this free guide to the subway systems in over 300 cities worldwide.

Métro has a very basic interface which can be a little tricky to read if you haven’t read the user guide. Once used to the controls, though, the average user will have no further trouble with this program. Use it to plan journeys, guide you between subway and railway stations, or to help you find places of interest such as museums in the city.

With frequent updates meaning you don’t need to worry about out-of-date information, Métro provides an impressive degree of information for a small application.

Bowling is great fun for all the family but when you can’t get to a lane you don’t have to miss out on the action, thanks to Ultimate Bowling Fighter.

Bizarrely, this Ultimate Bowling Fighter adopts a kind-of Street Fighter style approach to the sport. You choose from four characters from around the World and must travel the globe to battle it out against the others to be crowned kingpin.

The graphics in Ultimate Bowling Fighter are colorful and well drawn, although if you’re looking for a realistic bowling sim you’ll probably get annoyed by the silly animations and wacky sound effects.

Playing Ultimate Bowling Fighter is a breeze and is done using a gauge to control direction and power. With three game modes to choose from (Solo, Tournament and Multiplayer) Ultimate Bowling Fighter will have you gripped for quite some time.

As far as mobile arcade bowling sims go, Ultimate Bowling Fighter is probably the best you’ll find.

If you like Poker but can’t quite pull the right face at the right moment perhaps you should be looking for a similar yet slightly simpler card game. And that card game could be Croker. Instead of numbers in Croker you play with pictures – frogs, pigs, dice and baskets of fruit. It’s the way the French play, apparently.

As with Poker the aim of the game is to make the best possible hand from five cards and like Poker the possible combinations include pairs, three of a kind, a full house or four of a kind. Each time the cards are played a round of betting occurs until players are ready to show all their cards and see who’s won.

The animated cards are very colourful and you get to play computer opponents but there are only two levels of difficulty easy and hard which is a bit annoying.

If you like Poker you’ll have fun with Croker, and if you like cards games with pigs and lightbulbs you’ll probably really enjoy it too.

Many of us want to lose weight but few of us have the motivation to keep up our diets. iFitOne offers a way of tracking your weight loss in great detail over time.

iFitOne is certainly a comprehensive tool, allowing you to take care of every aspect of your weight loss program. You start by filling in a profile in which you outline details about your current physical state. You then define a target weight and dimensions that you want to hit, and the date by which you want to reach it.

From then on iFitOne is all about tracking your progress. There are daily logs for you to record what you eat, your mood and your current weight and measurements. All this information can be entered quickly and simply without the need to key it all in manually. iFitOne even lets you enter activities into your daily logs to track your exercise regime.

The data you enter in iFitOne every day can be used in a number of different ways, whether it’s to generate graphs or to examine your daily goals and whether you’ve met them. It takes a little while to get accustomed to the iFitOne interface because windows seem to pop up all the time and there are lots of options to navigate.

However, if you want some assistance in getting into shape, iFitOne makes for a convenient assistant.

If you’re a fan of puzzle games and are bored of the same old formats then Hexxagon Labs may make for a refreshing change.

Kind-of an Othello with hexagons, Hexxagon Labs sees you tackle a series of mind-boggling quests over a series of complex levels. The aim of the game is to fill as many of the spaces on the board as possible by moving around strategically and capturing enemy pieces.

It’s pretty straightforward to get a grasp of the rules of Hexxagon Labs if you’ve played Othello before, but if you haven’t then there are a few tutorial levels to help you on your way. It’s all great fun, and the inclusion of scientific facts along the way helps add to the enjoyment factor.

Hexxagon Labs is well presented – the graphics are nice and colorful and the sounds are chirpy if not a little annoying. The only real problem with the game is that there just aren’t enough levels, and the control system is slightly fiddly.

On the whole though, Hexxagon Labs provides a fun way to kill some time.
