Web Ranker for iPhone: A Must Have for the Web Enthusiast

Web Ranker for iPhone: A Must Have for the Web Enthusiast

The iPhone platform has many advantages over other mobile devices. There is of course the ultra simple user experience, the unprecedented multimedia features, the seamless iTunes/iPhone synchronization, and much more. However, for me, a BlackBerry user, the primary reason I ever pick up my iPod Touch is functionality. One can claim that BlackBerry has better email support, or that Android has better Google integration, but there is no denying that we have never seen a mobile platform offer so much functionality in one device.

Cardio Trainer for Android: A Comprehensive Workout App

Cardio Trainer for Android: A Comprehensive Workout App

Last week I decided to start working on my fitness. After I finished downloading the right music to my phone, I wanted to find an app that will help me measure how much I walk. After looking in the Android market, I found this cool app – Cardio Trainer, by WorkSmart Labs, which really surprised me with all its capabilities.
The CardioTrainer is a GPS-based workout tracking application which records your workouts, including: steps, distance, pace, calories burnt and of course your track. You can see your real-time position on a map and your exact route (via Google maps).

Want To Go To le Louvre in France? There’s An App For That Too!

Want To Go To le Louvre in France? There’s An App For That Too!

Some of you may not know it, but I am from France, and more precisely from Paris. There are a few things that Parisian are particularly proud of, but two monuments automatically spring to mind: the Eiffel tower and le Louvre. I haven’t as of yet found an app relating to the former (if you think you have a great idea post it on appboy!) but there is one for the latter.
As far as I can remember, the group responsible for Louvre has always been at the forefront of the new media. I remember a time, where you could visit the museum on a computer. I am not even saying online because it was at the time when multimedia was in it’s infancy and windows 95 merely a project!

Linkedin for iPhone Might be Better than the Site Itself

Linkedin for iPhone Might be Better than the Site Itself

When it comes to the professional social network, Linkedin, I was a late adopter. For years, I had an account, but never touched it. I could not stand the website’s interface and never really got the point. While Facebook and Twitter were a natural fit, Linkedin never really spoke to me. However, when one day, I finally decided to spend some time and make my Linkedin profile more presentable, it wasn’t long before it all became very clear to me.

Featured Developer: Get Set Games: The Hard Work Pays Off

This week we interviewed Matthew Coombe from a small mobile development company in Canada called Get Set Games. These guys are true gamers and have been in the gaming space for a decade, something that obviously gave them a big head start when they began developing for the iPhone. Their game, Addicus, is a number-based puzzle that incorporates a simple and fun concept with great graphics and entertaining bonuses, which will get you hooked in no time.

eBuddy for iPhone is a Solid and Free Contender

eBuddy for iPhone is a Solid and Free Contender

One of the most talked about advantages of the iPhone platform is its tremendous number of available apps. One can argue that they prefer Android’s openness or BlackBerry’s email integration, but there is no ignoring the iPhone’s edge over the other platforms, which comes in the form of 100,000 apps and counting. But a question many people are now asking is “why does anyone need 100,000 apps for their phone”?

iShoot Turkey: Amusing and Technologically Advanced

iShoot Turkey: Amusing and Technologically Advanced

I came across iShoot Turkey for iPhone among the top free games on the app store. As I was downloading it, I thought to myself that this is going to be another one of those download and delete kinda games, you know, the ones I download, play with for 20 seconds, decide are ridiculous and pointless, then delete. I was wrong.

Paper Toss for iPhone: I Dare you Not To Smile

Paper Toss for iPhone: I Dare you Not To Smile

No matter how many times I play games on the iPhone/iPod Touch, I never get enough of the graphics some of these games have. Call me old fashioned, but the fact the a game on a tiny mobile device can look so real and resemble a real life situation so much, is truly astounding. I have seen Paper Toss for iPhone in the top downloaded apps of the App Store for as long as I can remember, but I never bothered to download it, till today, and as I write this review, I am still smiling.

Interview: Philip Chu; They Don’t Make Em Like They Used To

Interview: Philip Chu; They Don’t Make Em Like They Used To

This week’s interview is with an “old school” developer in the positive sense of the word. We are not talking a 15 year old kid, who learned how to develop for iPhone last month, we are talking a hardcore developer, who has been at it for, as he puts it, “a couple of decades”. The sign of a truly talented developer, is the ability to adapt one’s self to the latest technologies, which is exactly what Philip Chu did. Here is the interview.
