App of the Week: Clash of Clans

Doodle Jump. Cut the Rope. Tiny Wings. These are just some of the many memorable titles in the iOS app Hall of Fame, but none have been taken up with such passion and enthusiasm at our school as Clash of Clans. This sprawling virtual kingdom of castles, dragons, elixirs and orcs has taken the high school by storm, claiming a tight-knit coalition of players around the school who join together in small groups to battle as a clan.

If you’ve ever felt like that photo you posted on Instagram of your dog playing fetch didn’t fully show how cute it is, now there’s an app for that. Vine is sweeping the school and the app store as the latest social media app by sharing short video clips to stay connected.

App of the week: Fun Run

Will all the unnecessary violence and insane critter sprinting of Fun Run lead to an addiction, or is this game another forgettable title? Fun Run is a two dimensional thriller designed by DirtyBit that puts you in the body of a furry critter competing for the chance to be crowned victor at the end of a 90 second sprint across a happy terrain. The game can be played in a solo-practice mode, or for social gamers in a full-on competitive mode.

App of the week: Wanelo Shopping

I may not have a Tumblr, but I’ve seen enough to know what the average teenage girl’s account contains: inspirational/funny quotes, One Direction gifs and really cute clothes that don’t seem to exist anywhere at Forever 21. While Wanelo Shopping may not be able to get Harry Styles to show up at your doorstep, this popular app can definitely bring those unique, Tumblr-worthy clothes to your closet.
