THIS HANDY UTILITY exists as
a menu bar item in Finder that you
can drag files into to share them
quickly or just stash them there until a time of
need. You can add your favourite apps to the
dropdown grid and it comes with a selection
of pre-installed actions, including a URL
shortener and AirDrop integration so you
can drag in files and folders from any app and
share them with other Macs on your network.
The powerful multitasking engine allows
you to run multiple tasks at once and you can
see how they are progressing by glancing at
the animated menu item. It also comes with
a powerful scripting API that allows you to
modify any of the existing actions or create
new ones. It’s a great time-saving device that
is very easy to use.
THIS CASUAL PHYSICS-BASED
fighting game challenges you
to choose a wrestler and climb
the rankings by knocking a succession of
progressively tougher opponents out of the
ring. It all seems hideously random to begin
with; you just float around the screen trying
to bat your rival over the ropes. There are
special moves to be used, however, and clever
movement will allow you to perform Irish
Whips, Power Slams and Pile Drivers to daze
the other wrestler to make deposing them
much easier. Special moves also earn you
coins that you can use to modify the stats of
your wrestler. It’s good fun to dip into but it
needs a two-player versus mode to keep you
interestedforlongerthana fewdays.
A great idea that is executed very well. But it
does require a subscription for the long-term.
Verdict
Fun for a few minutes but the seemingly
mindless action soon gets boring.
