Readers’ App Reviews – November 2014
Check out some apps made by fellow readers in November 2014 – including a wacky shooter, a coloring book for kids, and more! By Ryan Poolos.
Coloring book: Cat’s adventure
If you’ve got kids or love just coloring Cats, this is a great app for your iPad.
There are more than 20 adorable cats dressed up just for you. Each picture comes with only the colors you need to complete the page. The app is aimed at the younger crowd, so it also keeps your colors in the lines for you automagically.
Kids will love their creations when they’re finished so be prepared for show and tell. :]

TweetSpeak
There are plenty of things to listen to on your iPhone. But for us Twitterphiles something has been missing, until now.
TweetSpeak will read your Twitter feed aloud to you one tweet at a time. Its completely hands free, just start it and you can background the app and carry on. Its got settings to adjust read speed and supports four different languages.
TweetSpeak is great for catching up with Twitter while you’re driving home or cooking dinner.

White House Fence Jumper
When someone jumps the fence at the White House, its a national affair. And how better to handle it than a giant cannon?
Its not just protesters going over the fence though. The aliens are here and we must stop them! Its up to you to man the last cannon and take down anyone trying to make it across the lawn.
The country is counting on you. Your parents are counting on you. And that guy on the skateboard doesn’t look human. What are you waiting for!?

Honorable Mentions
Every month I get more submissions than I can handle. I give every app a shot, but I can’t write about them all. These are still great apps made by readers like you. Its no a popularity contest or even a favorite picking contest. I just try to get a glimpse of what the community is working on through your submissions. Take a moment and checkout these other great apps I didn’t have time to showcase properly.
