Everybody these days seems as if they’re always busy. To gain some karma, I’ve decided to put together this article with some of the most useful iPhone applications I found that will help you boost your productivity level to the max. 1. Appbox Pro Appbox Pro for the iPhone is a haven for a plethora [...]
If you cast your minds back to January 2009, you might remember the introduction of a little thing called Pocket God. Created and designed by iPhone development studio Bolt Creative, Pocket God came at a time when the App Store really needed something new. Something, fresh. The game took the usual list of gaming rules and regulations and threw them out the nearest window, leaving behind a virtual world which you controlled truly under your own terms.
It’s fair to say since the introduction of the iPhone, mobile Safari has had a tough time with users. From the intermittent crashing issues back on firmware 1.1.3 to lack of caching of pages in tab view, people quickly felt that they needed a replacement, one which would more over mirror that of their desktop browser on their Mac or PC. Up until now though, these replacement browsers, on the iPhone at least, have come in the form of existing independent developers looking to make the odd quick buck trying to flog different overall browsing experiences to the App Store crowd.
With the 140,000 apps in the App Store, there are endless games available to users. There are also countless games available in the various other categories of the App Store. However, what makes Addicus unique and so awesome, is that it is really more than just a game. It is first and foremost an educational tool that can help people of all ages brush up on their basic math. While you do that, you actually manage to enjoy a fast paced and highly addictive gaming experience. Yes, the developers of Addicus somehow managed to create a math lesson that can actually be a lot of fun. Now, that takes talent.
I’m sure most of our readers enjoy eating ice cream (who isn’t?). Scoops for iPhone is not about eating/drinking Ice Cream, but about having fun with ice cream, something I’m sure most of you have only dreamt of doing. Well, if you have $1.99, you can, thanks to this great game! Scoops is made by [...]
There are many possible reasons an iPhone app would be a hit. There are apps that receive a lot of hype from the blogesphere mainly because of their developer, there are apps that provide a truly new functionality to your iPhone, such as VOIP calls for example. There are games that are just so fun, you can’t put them down, and then there are apps like Spear Fishing that give you a close to real life experience of what it would be like to explore the deep parts of the ocean and actually go spear fishing.
OK, I never thought I would write the words “iPhone” and “frisbee” in the same sentence and definitely not in a title, but that day has come, and it is not a joke! We have seen various apps designed to make the process of sharing information an easy one. When you are at a party or social event of any kind, the last thing you want to do is take out your phone and start typing in details every time you meet someone with whom you want to stay in touch.
Each mobile platform has major advantages and disadvantages. BlackBerry has email, but it also lacks application memory. Android has openness on its side but it also comes with some UI issues. The iPhone has its fabulous UI but it lacks flexibility. It is always fun to download an app that enhances your phone in such a way that it takes one of the major down sides of your platform and flips it on its head. This is the case with Flipside for BlackBerry.
Do you like the iPad? It’s one of those questions I’ve been asking myself ever since Steve jumped up on stage and announced the thing a week ago today. Sure, we could just fob the thing off as a big iPod touch, like might I add most of the world is doing right now. Or, we could embrace it and think about what this means for the App Store and it’s customers heading into the future.
Since the App Store’s launch back in July 2008 we’ve seen an absolute explosion in both novelty and full-featured music based apps. From the very company who started it all off, MooCowMusic, showcasing their versatile suite of instrumental based apps, to game-changing studios like Amidio Inc with their digital contribution to the mobile DJ’ing experience, TouchDJ (which kinda doubles as a mobile Garangeband), and of course new players to the game, like RockStar Games and their celeb-endorsed Timaland title, Beaterator.
