IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AlphaDigits names five top class mobile apps based on the reviews during the month of June 2014. Ocean Hunt lets players become the ultimate fish hunters in an ocean environment. DRIVE.NET is an app that takes you anywhere you want to go. With Foam Roller Techniques, take charge of your health by learning about your body. Laura's Star and the Dream-Monsters seeks the help of her star to locate her brother's missing dog. Antigen is a retro-style shooting game.

Long Island, New York - Mobile app review publisher AlphaDigits has named the top rated apps for June 2014.

AlphaDigits names five top class mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. This website has now released the names of top rated mobile apps for the month of June.

Ocean Hunt (5/ 5): Won-O-Soft has taken its turn in coming up with an app that will let players become the ultimate fish hunters in an ocean environment. Using a spear, more than a little bit of strategizing and timing, players will have to catch fish in the ocean and reel them in, all within a specific time frame. This highly addictive and fast-paced game promises hours and hours of fun and enjoyment.

DRIVE.NET (4.8/ 5): We all have something we are passionate about, and for those who simply cannot get enough of cars, there is DRIVE.NET. This is an app that runs on both iOS and Android, is free, and takes you anywhere you want to go. You can join communities of car lovers based on models and years, or you can join a community that focuses on cars built in the early 1900s. Whatever your passion, DRIVE.NET can provide the forum to let you immerse yourself in car heaven.

Foam Roller Techniques (4.3/ 5): If you�ve had enough of visits to the chiropractor or expensive appointments with masseuses, all to take the pain away, then the Foam Roller Techniques app by Solid Jade Inc. is exactly what you need. For a small one-time fee, you can take charge of your health by learning about your body, where the sources of pain start, and how to roll them away with a foam roller.

Laura�s Star and the Dream-Monsters (4.2/ 5): Laura�s Star and the Dream-Monsters features Laura and her brother, who seeks the help of her star to locate her brother�s missing dog, Tommy. Laura�s star comes to the aid of Laura and her brother, turning his bed into a flying ship, taking them to the City of Dreams to find the lost toy dog. The app brings the story to life with over 60 animated scenes that tell the tale of search to find lost Tommy.

Antigen: In a retro-style shooting game that takes one back to the days of arcade play in the 80s, Antigen is a game that puts the duty of disease control in your hands. You become Chief Scientist of Antigen Labs, pioneer of combat nanotechnology. Only you have the solution; and the world is depending on you. The game is offered on iOS 4.3 and newer, and works on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
