Pet First Aid review

Pet First Aid by Jive Media LLC

Current Price: $4.99

Reviewed at v1.0.0

Pet First Aid is your comprehensive source for medical emergency care for your pet(s).

This app has 14 categories of articles available:

• Emergency situations
• Heart & Breathing
• Fundamentals
• What's Normal
• Disaster Preparedness
• Bites & Stings
• Bloat & Torsion
• Burns 
• Eyes, Ears & Nose
• Fractures & Sprains
• Head & Spinal Injuries
• Heat & Cold Injuries
• Poisoning
• Wounds

Each category features detailed articles, linking readers to related terms definitions, videos (which are clear and have excellent audio), and illustrations, all of which are available without connection to the web, making this app perfect for on the go emergencies. 

You're also able to add Pet Info on your pet, with veterinarian details, identifications, allergies & conditions, and more. This creates a profile for your pet and helps you better understand their needs. 

I would say that this app is lacking in this category and that category--but it's not. It's so thoroughly detailed and loaded with pages and pages of articles and useful content. This is an easy-to-use, informative application perfect for any pet owner.

Find an Apartment review

Find an Apartment by Alexander Mobile, LLC

Current Price: $0.99

Reviewed at v1.0.1

Find an Apartment is an app that aids you in your housing search. Browse apartments through Apartments, HotPads, and more.  Narrow down your search criteria by adding number of bedrooms, bathrooms, distance, and more. These specifics helps make your search more precise.

Once you've searched, view the listings and easily scroll through the plain-text results. View pictures, price, add listings to favorites, and share listings. 

This app is easy to use, but the interface could be more attractive. It's plain, and while that doesn't matter much in terms of usability, sometimes it can making searching more entertaining. 

I received adequate results for my searches in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some users have listed issues with having no results in their city, but I know the developer is working on this.

In short, Find an Apartment is an app that does what it says--find you an apartment. It's easy to use, and will come in handy for those looking at locations on the go.

Finger Memo review

Finger Memo by Aesthology, Inc.

Current Price: $1.99

LE?: YES

Reviewed at v2.2

Ever feel like the notes widget on your iPhone/iPhone just isn't enough to jot something down? Enter Finger Memo by Aesthology, Inc. This app gives you the freedom to draw, write, and scribble anything you'd like on an unbound canvas. It's memo freedom!

Write or draw your notes on a new blank canvas (size can be changed with setting) and it will post straight onto the memo board. A nice touch, and great way of viewing old notes. You can email notes and even dial a number (too bad I can't use this function on my iPod Touch =[). You have the freedom to rearrange your board, and even set a pass code to protect your memos. 

Delete memo's as if you were deleting apps. An 'x' will appear at the top right corner, allowing you to free up your memo board easily. You can also export your illustrations into your photo album. 

Finger Memo is easy to use and a great app for need to produce memo's more productively. In the future, I'm hoping to see more customization options, such as color and fonts. 

There is a lite edition (LE) available, so try Finger Memo out today, and go from there.

short hand review

short hand by LizzardWerks

Current Price: $0.99

LE?: NO

Reviewed at v1.0
short hand by LizzardWerks allows you to quickly and easily type and send out messages thanks to personalized and pre-loaded abbreviations (i.e. thx - thanks). If you are on the go and need a way to send out messages quickly, short handwill come in handy.
short hand allows you to email, tweet, and send notes by using short hands (abbreviations). In your message, simply type your abbreviation, and the app will automatically change it to your desired word/phrase. It's a useful app when you need to send a quick snippet via email, Twitter, and so forth.
This app will probably not be needed by all users, but short hand will save time for users who are constantly messaging and on the go.
In future updates, short hand will add to its "Send Options" list, and I'd like to see Blogger on there. =] It's guaranteed that over time, considering the newness of this app, that it will appeal to a broader range of users. You can also draft messages for later with or without using short hand phrases, so it has the potential to streamline all your social networking accounts in future updates.
At $0.99, short hand is a unique app that will help you communicate easier and faster. Visit LizzardWerks.com or the App Store to learn more about short hand.
