iTunes Radio is Apple's free music streaming service. iTunes Radio is currently available only in select countries at the moment. If you're in one of the lucky countries, here's how the service works:



iTunes Radio is located in the iOS Music App.  So the first thing you'll want to do is, launch the Music App.

Then tap the Radio tab. If you've never used the service before, you'll see a Welcome screen. Press Start Listening to begin.

You be shown Featured Stations, and can set up your own Stations. Stations are the channels of music, of either a Band or Genre you like to listen too.

To add a new station press the "+" button. Then you can either search for particular band or choose a genre.

Once a song starts playing you can "Star" the song, saying you like it, or you can skip to the next song. If you really like a song, you can also buy it, buy pressing the dollar amount on the top of the screen.

If you pick a Band station, you will not only get songs from that band. iTunes will also play other songs that is similar and thinks you'll like.

Buy pressing the "i" button on top, you can access settings. From here you can "tune" the current station to either "Hits", "Variety", or "Discover".

Also you are limited to the amount of songs you can 'skip', for a time period, per station.

Also note that iTunes Radio is ad-supported, unless you have a current iTunes Match subscription.

Monopoly is a old favorite, board game, best known for the game lasting hours! Well this new iOS version of the game, should fix that problem! This new version is, Monopoly Millionaire. The aim of this game is not to get the other players bankrupted, but to be the first player to reach 1 Million Monopoly Dollars!

This is a much faster-paced game. This version is also features new game-play features. You can,  "Trade properties on the sly, force powerful land-grabbing deals..." Basically you and your opponent can steal property from each other... I'm still working out the new features.  

If you've played any of the other Monopoly games on iOS before, this one keeps the familiar game-play interface, but with some new graphics.

The Chance and Community Chest squares have all new cards to offer. You can get a card that allows you to just say no to rent, roll the dice to get a chance to win at the casino... There's also this new 'Fortune' feature that I'm not really sure what it does, but I think it's like the Community Chess cards...

Player-able Monopoly pieces on this game as also now upgrade-able. The pieces include; A plane, Boat, Car, and Bike.

Property squares in the game includes names; Paradise Island, Ski Mountain, Sunshine Bay, Showtime Blvd, Movie District, Adventure Park, Dream Avenue, Aqua Park Resort, and many more...


If you feel the game is over too quick, you can change the end goal to 2 million. Or if the game is too easy to win, you can change the difficulty settings.

This new version will take a few games to get used to. There are quite a few changes, that the old players of the game may be confused with.  
Few issues with the game. For one, the computer seems to always take the first turn. Also the computers roll of the dice is also good, while mine is always either a low number or one that will land on property of other players. Seems a little rigged at times. Also with the U.I. (user interface), I'm not a fan of the game-log-text displaying over the game-board, the writing clashes and is hard to see and read at times.

In conclusion. The game is okay. If you already own a Monopoly iOS / Android game, I don't think there's a need to rush out and go buy this one, but if you don't - it's a nice game to start your Monopoly collection.


MONOPOLY Millionaire is priced at $2.99 for iPhone, $4.99 for iPad & $0.99 for Android. You can buy the games from the App Store and Google Play Store.
