HaikuReview – HTC One M9
Metal-wrapped body
Same as the one from last year,
But still beautiful.
Stainless steel is slick,
Probably ought to buy a case
Or get insurance.
Last year’s five-inch screen
Same look, same feel, same smartphone?
Almost, but not quite.
With last year’s model
Ultra-Pixel camera
Was not a big hit.
So now it is gone.
Now twenty MegaPixel,
For amazing shots.
Camera on front
Uses those Ultra-Pixels
For those selfies (sigh).
User interface
Is much more intuitive,
Using location.
When you are at work
The phone will respond to it.
Stop Candy Crush Now!
When you are at home
Everything auto-updates.
Candy Crush away!
Phone is still too big.
Wasted space due to logo
Makes one-hand use tough.
A decent upgrade,
Although Samsung got more press
It’s worth Checking Out.
HaikuReview – Subway Surfers (iOS and Android game)
Simple Gesture Game
Left Right Jump Roll, Tons ‘o fun
Couple minutes gone
You have daily goals.
False sense of accomplishment.
What am I saying?!?!
Goal: Jump over trains
Had to get the super shoes
Bounce High! Achieve Goal!
Goal: Bump into Trains
Can’t get caught and still hit ten
Bang Bang! Got that one!
I love simple games
Need only a few moments
Fun at fingertips
Achievable Goals.
In app purchases option,
But are not required
The best part of all.
This will make you want to play.
Two words: Hover Boards!
Try subway surfers
And join the world tour today
Everyone has time
