Even Checking the Weather Can Be Fun with Outside for the iPhone

If you’re still using the limited default weather app for the iPhone, it’s time to move on. You’ll find hundreds of weather apps on the App Store (there’s even a whole category dedicated to them) and they all do a pretty good job of telling you the weather conditions. There is, however, one app by Robocat stands out from the rest. Outside ($2.99) is a beautiful weather app which displays the current weather conditions as if you are looking out a window. Watch a review of the app after the break!

System Panel for Android App Review

There are a lot of task killers in the Android market. In fact, just a few months ago, the most popular apps in the Android market were task killers. That was until Froyo came out and provided better memory management on the system side. That doesn’t mean a task killer isn’t needed, it just means that the task killer you are using needs more features. System Panel is just that, but on the expensive side of the market, at $2.99.

You send something from your web browser directly to your phone. What is the point of Chrome to phone? It is a simple concept. When viewing a web page, map, YouTube videos, numbers and text currently selected, you can send it directly to your phone.

Wunderlist for iPhone – The Gem Under The Trash

Wunderlist for iPhone – The Gem Under The Trash

Task management apps are a dime a dozen. Some specialize in list making, others in check lists. Some sync with there own servers while others allow cloud access. Here is my problem with most Task Management apps, the price. Don’t get me wrong, apps like Things work really well and offer lots of great functionality but the price for iPhone app plus the cost of the desktop app really add up. I recently stumbled upon Wunderlist and man, it has really blown me away. The best thing about its price tag is that it’s free!

If this new app, Word Lens, does not convince you that mobile technology is changing the world, well then, I don’t know what will. The app is now only available for English to Spanish and vice versa, but other languages are on the way.

Kids Eat Free for iPhone – The Cheap Way To Dine

Eating out can be expensive. If you have kids it is even pricier. Lots of restaurants offer deals for kids such as kids eat for free days or
kids get a free drink. The problem is knowing what deals are available in your area and what day or days they are good for. The iPhone is information at your fingertip quickly, with that said, I cannot believe it took someone this long to develop an app like KidsEatFor. What’s even better about it is that it’s only $2.99, so it pays for itself back in just one meal!
