Even though it displays no color, doesn't play videos or holds photos, this is the true "classic" iPod. Just your music and ear buds. No distractions.

New reviews coming soon!

Sorry,

I haven't updated this blog in months! I'll be posting new content soon and moving the blog to Posterous, which gives me a better space to work on my reviews and overall content.

I hope to share more content soon--

At the moment, my twitter account is down but I'll be creating a new one soon.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the 30+ reviews I have so far.

Cheers

Sorry

Sorry for the lack of updates.

Busy time!

Birdhouse review

Birdhouse by Sandwich Dynamics

Current Price: $3.99

Reviewed at v1.0.1

Birdhouse is a notepad for Twitter. What it does is "houses" your tweets for later publication. In other words, with Birdhouse, you can draft your tweets, save them for later, and publish them when ready.

Birdhouse has a clean interface yielding high ease-of-use. You can use the application for multiple Twitter accounts if you have more than one, and unpublish tweets that you posted from Birdhouse through the app. You can also "rate" your tweets according to how much you like it at that moment, until you reach the 5-star rank. You can also view created and modified times for the tweet as well as delete tweets on the main tweeting page.

Should you want to backup your tweets, you can do through email. You may set up a default email address to which your tweets will be sent, or email an entire list of tweets from your drafts and history pages. Additionally, the history page tells you the time and date you published a certain tweet and from there, you can unpublish as well.

With Birdhouse, you can draft as many tweets as you want and save as many tweets as you want. While you can publish tweets however, be aware that this app is meant to complement your current Twitter client on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It doesn't intend to replace your main Twitter client, only add to it with a particular function.

This app is very easy to use, but one thing I would like to see is yfrog or twitpic support. For example, if you're at a Bon Jovi concert, you draft a tweet saying "I'm at the Bon Jovi concert" but in actuality you're just heading there. When you are at the concert, you snap a pic, but can't add it to your Birdhouse draft. What a shame!

...........But in all seriousness, picture support is something I would like to see in future updates.

This app costs $3.99 and is very well-executed. It's not an essential function for every Twitter user, but for those who do need the functionality of this app, Birdhouse is well worth the price.

Posting

If you notice inconsistencies within my posts, it's because I'm experimenting with formats to make reviews more current & comprehensive. In place of a direct link to iTunes, I'll place a link to the developer's site, if available. This will make learning about these apps easier to do. I've got a bevy of changes, posts, and updates to make, as well as a few giveaways. Stay tuned & keep reading! :)

More Cowbell! review

More Cowbell! by Maverick Software
Current Price: $0.99
Category: Music
Reviewed at v1.4
More Cowbell! was the first cowbell application that made its way to the App Store.
In this simple music app, play five instruments to your heart's content: the cowbell (of course), maracas, triangle, tambourine, and sleigh bells. When you start up the cowbell, you'll hear the favorite SNL phrase, "I gotta have more cowbell" and then you start playing from there. You can tap to play any instrument, or shake to play if enabled. All instruments have clear, good quality sound effects, making this app, perhaps, useful at weddings when you'd like to make a speech, Christmas, when singing your favorite holiday tune, or dinner time, when you need the family to come on down and eat.
This app has a simple to use format. Yyou'll press the info button at the bottom right to adjust settings and change instruments. View scoring, settings, and other Maverick Software apps when you hit that info button.
With this app, your "Cowbellometer" is measured. Keep on playing to get a higher score, so that you can enter the World Cowbell Rankings and Cowbell Hall of Fame in time. You can also tune your instrument pitch, shake sensitivity, and set voice warnings and cowbellometer. These settings allows users to customize their Cowbell experience.
Overall, More Cowbell! is a fun, simple music application that offers no more & no less than what it intends to do. Check out More Cowbell! today and experience the App Store's first cowbell application yourself.

Liquid review

Liquid by Robert Casperson

Current Price: $0.99

LE Available

Reviewed at v2.2

Liquid is a relaxing, easy to use entertainment app & fluid simulator. Choose from a dozen water colors and background tetures, adjust the speed and sound of the liquid, and even apply custom photos to the background.

Similar to Koi Pond, Liquid allows you to interact with the fluid surface. Tilt your device and the water will flow in that direction. Tap the water to make it move, or simply lay the device flat for stagnant motion. The sounds make this app even more realistic and riveting.

It's fun to choose a colored water and watch it flow beneath the background, whether it be stone or wood or a personal photo. There isn't much to the app besides being a fluid simulator, but I feel as if that's the point.

If the sound of water relaxes you, Liquid might be what you need. It offers a lot of customization options, is easy to use and a pleasure to look at.

Delicious Memory review

Delicious Memory by mSprocket

Current Price: $0.99

Reviewed at v1.0

Delicious Memory is a simple, no-nonsense matching game that is totally sweet.

The game is straightforward: set up your game board dimensions, them match up the desserts. There are 20 delicious desserts presented in the app, and your moves are counted. Complete your matches and see your high score.

There is also a two player mode. You need to share the device, because it plays in P1, P2 order. It makes the game a bit more challenging.

This app is very easy to play and is sure to please the little ones as well.

While Delicious Memory isn't unlike any other matching game for the iPhone, it IS deliciously illustrated, making it fun to test your memory. You're also able to change the dimensions of the game, making Delicious Memory shorter or longer to play. It's evident that the developers put effort into making this app simple yet fun at the same time.

Among the delicious memories art red velvet cake, pecan pie, banana splits, pastires, and chocolate-covered strawberries. Yum!
