If you had finished collecting Power Rangers in the iOS and Android game, 'Saban's Power Rangers Dash', you now have a few more to go back in and collect. In a recent update, the game has added the six 'Power Rangers Megaforce' Rangers!

Here's a tip to collect the new Megaforce Rangers - go the the store and buy with "Purchase by Point" for 100P each - then when asked which season you'd like the Ranger from, choose 'Megaforce'.

Power Rangers Dash now features nine different seasons of Power Rangers, including; Mighty Morphin (minus the White Tiger Ranger), Wild Force, S.P.D., Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, RPM, Samurai, and the latest team, Power Rangers Dino Charge. Here's still hoping they add some of the other classic seasons like; Dino Thunder, Zeo, Time Force, and In Space - to name a few.  

Power Rangers Dash is FREE to download from the iOS App Store and Android Google Play Store. 

Google has today released it's YouTube Kids app internationally for certain countries outside the U.S.A. at the moment including; the UK, Ireland and Australia. YouTube Kids launched in the USA nine months ago.

YouTube Kids is a free app, designed for kids aged 5 and under. The app is designed to exclude content that may not be appropriate for a young audience - however YouTube notes that not all videos are manually reviewed.

When setting up at app, parents can choose whether they want to allow search. If you allow search, kids can search through millions of videos on YouTube (with restrictions). With search off, only the videos on the apps home screen and recommendations will be shown. However the security that keeps search off is four written numbers that the apps asks you to type in. So, if your kid can read numbers...  

The app is divided into four sections: Shows, Music, Learning, and Explore. Videos that can be expected on the app are favorites like; Thomas & Friends, Hi-5, Banana's in Pajamas, Sesame Street and more.

Also it's important to note that this app is not advertisement free. YouTube writes that the app "...contains paid ads in order to offer the app for free. Your child may also see videos with commercial content from YouTube creators that are not paid ads."

Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile by The Pokemon Company is now available for iOS & Android. Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile is a freemium puzzle game that was first released on the Nintendo 3DS.

Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile features a puzzle game where battle wild Pok�mon by lining up three or more Pok�mon from the grid below.

The game features "lots of stages and lots of Pok�mon", with additional stages and Pok�mon planned for future updates.

In the game, you can move around Pok�mon in a grid to line up matches of three or more. The more combinations you make, the better your score. You also have a limit to how many moves you can make to defeat the Pok�mon you are battling. After defeating the Pok�mon, you have the chance to catch it. Some Pok�mon are easier to catch than others, but how many moves you had remaining will also play a factor. If you fail to catch a Pok�mon, there will be a option to purchase a 'Great Pok� Ball' to improve your chances. This costs in-game coins.

The game has a very 'cutesy' look and feel. Most of the problems, and downsides to the game are; your lives. They are not really lives, more like a token to play. It'll cost you one heart every time you play a stage. The max hearts that recharge is five. So, game play is quick and far between - as recharging takes a while.  You can always purchase more hearts in the game.

The other problem is the in-game coins. Together with the hearts, these two factors really hurt the game-play. You earn coins by playing and battling Pok�mon. Coins can be used to purchase special power-ups or Pok� Balls. The amount of coins you win is pretty low and it'll take a while to save up.

When you combine low capture rates of a lot of Pok�mon, making replay and purchasing Pok� Balls often required, the lack of time you can play for in one go, and the low payout of coins - the game to me feels like it pushes in-app purchases - if you want to have a good time playing.  This is often the problem with freemium games. I just don't know at this time, how far and how long you can really play for without feeling like you need put real money into this game. Maybe you won't ever need too. I don't know. I believe in-app purchases should enhance your game play experience, but not feel needed to play - and win. Let me know what you think, in the comments.





-> View Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile on the iTunes App Store for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad's or the Google Play Store for Android devices.

Pok�mon is set to release a match-3 style puzzle game, like Candy Crush Saga, Candy Mania, Bejeweled, Angry Birds Fight!, and so on... for iOS and Android devices, sometime later this year (2015).

In Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile, players will clear areas and battle wild Pok�mon by matching up Pok�mon of the same to create attacks, which you use to battle and defeat the Pok�mon, before you run out of moves. You can then try and catch it!

Game features as stated in the trailer (video above):

"Match 3 or more Pok�mon to launch an attack."
"Rack up combos to deal lots of damage."
"Catch wild Pok�mon and add them to your collection."
"Create your own team and gain experience as you play!"
"Use items and Mega Evolution for powerful effects."  

There does seem to be a mixed range of Pok�mon between new and old, judging from the trailer. It will feature the old favorites like; Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and of course Pikachu. Also, Pok�mon will gain experience and can evolve.

Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile will be FREE to download, most likely with in-app purchases - available on the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store - sometime this year.
