Glow Doodle Jump App
Fun! Great on 3GS and iPhone 4! Very basic control. Uses accelerometer. Game plays in portrait/upright view. A smiley face ball drops into a maze that moves vertically and you have to tilt your iPhone left and right to roll your ball left and right as the maze scrolls upwards! This is the first game I have ever seen that really shows what the accelerometer can do! Super smooth action that's addictive, colorful, fun and fun. As you progress the scrolling gets faster AND eventually random power ups pop up. These power ups are accessible only of you choose the right path! Get it!!!
Super KO Boxing 2 Free App
Awesome! On iPhone 4 and 3GS! Nintendo 16 bit first person boxer but with OVER the top controls and bright colorful graphics!!! Controls are basic and right on! Games is also easy, almost too easy! Characters/foes are a riot!! Must have! I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall quality, being as critical and picky as I am. And free!
fring: Video Calls + IM App
On iPhone 4. Uses 3G facetime. BUT works 1 our of 10 times. Then you have to close app...not only close it, but also close it via multitask. Then reopen, still may not work. I tried over 50 times to get Fring to work. No success. Tried 50 different ways with no luck at all, errors, network not available, ug!!
When it did work, was horribly choppy! No, not because of 3G.
Tango is the best app right now! Works fast! And works 9 out of 10 times!!
Downloads App
Um. How can I say this without Apple pulling the app.....
Get it now! It's well worth the $1.99!!
Basic rundown:
When you open app, a safari browser opens "inside" of the download app, kinda like a shell.
You can goto any site and DOWNLOAD about anything...
YOUTUBE video downloads.....Once you select the video, dont play it, just press and hold ANYWHERE but not on the play arrow!
And a (secret shhhh) menu will pop up with 3 options, choose download! Ignore the "save" option at bottom of browser!!! It will ask you to log in!
After your "feeding frenzy" is over.......and after your vids are done downloading....
Then sync with iTunes, be sure to look at the bottom of itunes on your PC, this app should show at the bottom WITH your downloads! EASY! iTunes will now allow you to move those downloads around and save them to the "automatically add to iTunes" folder or anywhere else you want them to be!. Then sync with movies itunes to get your vids onto your device....
OR
Once you have downloaded your vids/music, there is an option to "add to photos". Once you add the music/video file to your camera roll (yes your camera roll!) you can then sync your pics(like you would normally, I use XP camera wizard) to your PC and the mp4s will be dumped onto your pooter with your pics, mixed in !! Then you can still drag and drop the mp4 into the "automatically add to iTunes" folder!
BE WARNED! Unless you have unlimited data be careful! When you download, it uses data!! No way around this!! This app is a download manager!!! Use wifi if needed!!

Denmapl Be sure to read again, I have revised the instructions to explain of the secret menu option for downloading !!
Mr. Number Reverse Lookup and Contact Backup App
Worth the buck! Simple interface! Enter in any phone number on the keypad and the app will produce the name associated with that phone number but no address. It works Att least 7 times out of 10 which is better than any Internet/online service, unless you wanna pay big bucks/monthly fees that most charge.
I have Att and it quickly associated my CELLphone number with my full name., the account holder.
I do however think this app uses some type of caller Id system to see what name is associated with the phone number you enter.
It also was able to work with my fathers business, home and cell...

ToonCamera App
Very very basic point and shoot. Super easy! Decent quality. The icon used for the app is identical to how your pic will look, but from your selected material. The colors are bright! Again look at the app icon and this is what you'll see..Soon there is to be an update movie option soon, can't wait!!
Cartoon Wars-Gunner App
Fantastic game! Great basic controls! Basically you are a small stick figure that is cartoon like with very fluid movements, shooting arrows left and right only, at oncoming bizarre foes in a side scrolling environment! Excellent graphics, sounds. Some foes take more hits to kill than others. Some have swords, arrows or machetes. Very well designed. I really liked the cartoon story, illustrated with colorful music and graphics!!
Hanoi App
Ok. This game is brilliant. No frills. Less than 1mb! FREE. Start off with 3 stones stacked, object is to restack them on the far right space, using a total of 3 marked spaces. Largest rock on bottom, smallest on top. Is fun, but only problem is the fact that once you discover the pattern, it's not as hard......none the less very relaxing. As I played time seemed to no longer exist and I became connected with my iPhone 4. Soon I was able to manipulate the rocks, with my chi. Soon after I shaved my head and began chanting.....
FatBooth App
Fun. Lives up to it's promise by making a persons face, fat. Choose from existing or take a new pic. As with most apps on this genre, transferring to PC loses quality..... But looks awesome on iPhone 4...

VEVO App
Using iPhone 4 (was) running 4.0.1, app would crash, every single time.
Crash at launch, or crash while launching a video.
App would crash to the Springboard every single time. I tried deleting and reinstalling with no change..... Sorry, that's the best I can say as I have not redownloaded it again.
Did not try app on 3GS yet....

Pigeon Squadron App
Awesome game! Ever wanted to be a pidgeon and poo on targets such as cars? People??? No hplds barred! A ton of great targets! Game ia not just a "fly around" and poo game! Uses accelerometer very well and response is dead on!. Bright colorful! Huge replay value!
CinemaFX for Video App
Excellent app. MUST HAVE video app! Quality lens affects for your videos. Very very food lens such as 70s, technicolor, 1920s, 8mm vanilla, wwII, along with basic lens such as b&w and sepia. Well over 40 lens affects!! Yes, quality affects not just generic colors. You can render in 270p, 360p, 540p or 720p. If you have the patience, video shot with any of lens affects rendered in 720p look PROFESSIONAL!!!!! Not kidding.
SYSTEM Manager for iPhone & iPod Touch App
Works great on IPhone 4! Very "pretty" interface. Offers typical task manager info. Well worth a dollar....

Real Racing App
Ok. This game is amazing! Controls are dead on target! Game looks and plays PERFECT on iPhone 4. Graphics are the best I have ever seen!!! All this on a small screen?!?? Well worth $5! High replay value.
Bing App
Great! Much "prettier" search engine that....Google! Works awesome on iPhone 4!
Adobe Photoshop Express App
Honestly.....
App is handy for only a few of features. A quick fix for rotating a pic you have saved on your camera roll. Also for cropping and flipping.
There are other "basic" options (not worth downloading for). Like 6 different borders and 7 lens affect (rainbow, Andy Warhol, b&w, etc.) I expected more from Adobe. But it is free! You want lens affects? Super Camera 2: All-in-1 for .99 is really great for iPhone 4 owners!!! A must have!
SAS Survival Guide App
Great survival guide, but, "save your money for the actual book."
The plant sketches are, so so. If you were out in the wild, there is "some" great tips.
Tips like, "seek shelter". We KNEW that one already lol!
Realistically, my Iphone 4 battery would go dead watching the videos included if I was in a "survival" type situation. Then what good is the SAS Guide?

There is ALOT of survival info in this App, but MOST of the info is hard to understand. Its as if they took the ENTIRE SAS guide and crammed it onto this app without much thought.
I downloaded it then deleted it for lack of "decent" laymans terminology and subpar sketches...
Tango Video Calls App
All I can say is, I can't believe this app is still on the App Store. If you wanna use Facetime on 3g? This is it! It works. It works very good! Somehow Tango is tied to the Iphones dialing software. None the less, it works great! Only on 3G though. Its the BEST facetime 3G app on the App Store. Also, I experienced ZERO video/dropped calls while using this.
If your signal drops below 3 bars, the quality does suffer greatly.....

Blipped App
Not quite there. Even after logging in to Blippy, why do I have to search for myself to review my purchased items? Not a big deal, once you do find yourself it is easy to enter your review. I did like the 2 tabs though!
If you can call it a review. 139 character limit netted me 20 whole words to write a review from the app on my Iphone 4. There simply is not enough character allowance for someone to explain their purchase. I had to log on to the full site to write this.
Whats worse? I typed my 20 words and the "comment" button grayed out on me?!? Whats even more worse? If you accidentally touch ANY of the radial buttons at the bottom, you have to again, search for yourself to go back to your purchases.
It needs:
>A back browser button type key in case we go to a screen on accident
>Increased character allowance<<<<<<<<
>A dedicated menu after logging in for my account, so I don't have to search for, "me". When I logged in, I was in shock to find NOTHING pertaining to my actual account.
>Added code to take advantage of the Iphone accelerometer. This is a must!

I will say this is a MUST HAVE APP for Blippy as a company, especially for all the new iphone owners! Has great potential! Once the kinks are ironed out, I would LOVE to spend more time on Blipped. On the go, this would allow me the time to review the HUNDREDS of Iphone Apps I have downloaded (that I have NOT reviewed yet) and will be downloading in the future!
