Every now and then an app comes along that is a bit different from others in the App Store. Retro Recall by AppCreatives is one of them; it’s a simple iPhone app, yet very interesting and engaging. If you enjoy history, lived through the ’80s and ’90s, or just appreciate those decades, you will enjoy Retro Recall. Whether you live in the U.K. or the U.S., there is a version for you.
The app displays a picture and the name of something from these decades. It may be a TV show like “Home Improvement” or “Hollywood Squares,” or games like Trouble and Clackers. The idea behind the app is to trigger your memory and bring a smile to your face as you reminisce about pop culture of the time.
Retro Recall provides more than just a memory. Each image has more information with links to either Wikipedia or YouTube. There is also a sharing feature, where you can send your memories to your friends on Facebook or by email. You also can mark and recall your favorites right in the app, so you can always go back to find the item.
As you scroll through the images, each one is random and you never know what is next. This taps into your curiosity, and works as an interesting time filler for those moments when you don’t want to engage in an action game or get lost in a book.
If you are looking for something that is unique and interesting, check out the newly released Retro Recall in the App Store for $0.99. The delightful memories are well worth the price.
