Apps rush: Foursquare, Roodie Noodies, VeggiePlaces and more

Foursquare for Windows Phone 7
Social location service Foursquare has been revamped for Windows Phone

A burst of 8 apps for your consideration

Magic Safari

Magic Safari styles itself as a location-based game for kids. The idea: they take photos of their current location, and then have to spot 3D animals inserted into the shot.

VeggiePlaces

iPhone app VeggiePlaces is a global guide to vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants, cafes, hotels, guest houses, pubs and shops, with location-based features.

EDGEBobby2

EDGEBobby2 might not look like an amazing game from its screenshots, but expect iOS developers to pay it close attention. Why? It's the work of developer Edge, whose boss Tim Langdell has attracted widespread criticism for his trademark claims regarding any game with the word 'Edge' in its title. Long accused of not releasing any games in recent years, now he has.

Roodie Noodies and the Rubbery Rings

The title doesn't sound like the sort of thing Steve Jobs would allow on the App Store, but relax: this iPhone and iPad game is entirely innocent. Aimed at children, it involves dive-bombing beach creatures.

Loky

Privacy apps firm Loky has teamed up with dating site Illicit Encounters for an Android, BlackBerry and Symbian app to help spouses keep their extra-marital affairs secret, hiding calls and text messages from view.

Gadget Show Live

The UK's Gadget Show Live has got its own iPad magazine, blending embedded video footage from the TV show with editorial coverage of the gadgets and people who attended the recent exhibition.

Stay Lit Music

Stay Lit Music appears to be the first Google Music Beta app for the BlackBerry PlayBook, in the absence of an official client for Google's new cloud music service. Although available in all countries, we're guessing it'll only work fully in the US.

Foursquare for Windows Phone 7

Foursquare has revamped and relaunched its official Windows Phone 7 application, using version 2 of the social location service's API.
