Just a heads up...(Blocked app)

Just a heads up to everyone...

If you're a user of the Opera web browser, check out their wid=gets section.

They offer a widget called 'Blocked,' which is in the app store under the same name. I'm pretty sure the developers are the same, but I could be wrong.

It's basically the same application, but for Opera. If you're interested in Blocked (which is currently #35 in the App Store), check it out!

More Toast! review





More Toast! by Maverick Software

Cost: $0.99

Reviewed at v1.4

More Toast! by Maverick Software is a fun, silly, hunger-enducing app. More Toast!, to put it simply, is a toaster simulator. You select from a variety of toast types: bread, english muffin, bagel, waffle, toaster pastry, and strudel pastry and toppings: butter, jam, peanut butter, jam, cinnamon sugar, syrup, cream cheese, honey, nutella, icing, whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries. Whew! That seems like quite a list, doesn't it? Well, the app sure has come a long way since when I first downloaded it for free. Maverick has devoted plenty of time to improving the app and for the past few months has been updated frequently with new toast types and toppings. I commend Maverick Software greatly for the app's expansive improvements to the graphics, user interface, and variety of items available. 

However, along with the updates, came a new price of $0.99. That is not expensive by any means, but of course a step away from being free. 

With this application, you can make toast, apply toppings (if you please), and eat your creation. You could also save your toasted goody right within the app itself then send it via email, make it a contact pic, or background pic. 

While this application is simple and repetative after multiple rounds of toast making, it will definitely provide you with enough entertainment to get through your next class, lecture, or even your next meeting! With the amount of updates that app has been receiving lately, More Toast! is a definite bang for your buck.

Graphics: 4/5

Sound: 3/5

Welcome to App Updates

Welcome to App Updates!

I've owned a first-gen iPod Touch for a little over a year now. I love browsing the App Store and discovering all it has to offer. While I am limited in terms of what apps I can use because of my device, I try to take advantage of the features my iPod Touch does have and use them to the fullest. 

In my blog I'll be reviewing new apps, existing & updated apps, as well featuring content from other sites that I find interesting. 

Enjoy!
