GarageBand for iPad review
GarageBand for iOS is a major achievement in music apps. It’s an all in one app that lets you record audio, process a guitar signal and even play your iPad as an instrument with minimal skill necessary. It’s a dream come true for musician’s on the go and a great place to put all of your musical ideas. There’s really no comparison on the App Store. Apple has hit a home run with GarageBand for iOS. Let me tell you why.
Appletell reviews iSlice: Cut It Up! for iPhone, iPod Touch
iSlice: Cut It Up is a strategy type game in which you try to reduce a large object with moving balls inside to a smaller object that still contains the balls. The graphics for the game are quite interesting and refreshing, and it is certainly quite addictive. This sprouts from its simplicity as well as from the gameplay.
Appletell reviews Real Racing HD for iPad
Firemint hit it big with Real Racing for iPhone, and now they’re back with Real Racing HD. This racing game is looking better than ever on the much larger display of the iPad. It has all the features you’ve come to love in the regular version, but with bigger and better graphics. If the iPhone version is feeling cramped to you, or you just want to race on your iPad, this is the answer.
Appletell reviews The Red Carpet for iPhone, iPod touch
Do the Oscars really get you excited? It’s tne night where we finally recognize the people that entertain us on the silver screen, and don’t they deserve it? Probably not, but if you’ve seen all of the movies up for nomination from the past year, you likely want to share your opinion with the world. As the old saying goes, there’s an app for that: The Red Carpet app. Oh, and you can also win $1,000,000.
Appletell reviews Empower Your Parenting for iPhone, iPod touch
There are not a lot of physical pieces to this application. What it does is give you advice to help you raise your children to be “socially acceptable.” Now, I know my kids did not come with a manual. I would venture to guess yours did not either. Some pieces of being a parent are “hard coded” in us humans, though. I would not send my 3-year-old son to pre-school in a dress. I would not let my 12-year-old daughter go to the mall unaccompanied. I like to refer to these things as common sense. Sometimes, though, we do need a little help. Sometimes, we can use a new idea of which maybe we have not thought.
Appletell reviews Textopolis game for iPhone, iPod touch
The idea of Textopolis for iPhone and iPod touch is to use the letters of the city (level) that you are on to spell as many words as you can. There are a total of 30 cities available, and to get to the next city you must get at least 10% of all the possible words. The words must be at least four letters long. Let me say that I spell like a 4th grader, so the fact that you can use plurals is a great help for me. That also means I have not been able to advance to the harder cities in the game such as Ulyanovsk, or Saskatoon.
Appletell reviews Sneezies for iPhone, iPod touch
Sneezies is definitely a unique idea for a game on the iPhone, and iPod Touch platform. The point of the game is to get as many of the “Sneezies” to sneeze as possible. This is done in a chain reaction kind of way. You place one sneeze at the beginning, and must cause a chain reaction to get as many Sneezies to sneeze as possible, therefore popping their respective bubbles.
Full review after the break.
Appletell review: Guitarist for iPhone/iPod touch
Guitarist is an app developed by Moo Cow Music that attempts to be your on-the-go guitar. It’s not going to replace your real guitar, but it might help you seize the moment when creativity strikes.
Since the iPhone has multitouch, using it as a guitar simulator makes sense. There is one striking negative about this app, and I want to get it out right at the start. Since you’re only working with a piece of glass, there is no tactile feedback. It should be noted that this is not a problem with the app, but a limitation of the device itself. If you can get over this one point, then you’ll love this app.
Apple changes App Store review policy
As recently as yesterday, Apple made a much needed improvement to the App Store. The change is subtle, but necessary. Developers of non-free apps everywhere will rejoice when they hear that users are now required to actually own an app to be able to review it. I say non-free apps, because there really is nothing more »
Appletell review – DataCase, wireless storage utility for iPhone and iPod Touch
If you’ve been waiting for the right program to allow your iPhone to store files, your wait might be over. DataCase is out of beta and in the App Store. If early reviews on iTunes are to be trusted, this might be the best wireless storage solution yet for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
We reported earlier on Veiosoft’s decision to delay the release of DataCase from the originally planned launch date of July 28. Veiosoft wanted to release an app as close to bug-free as possible. I think they’ve done a great job.
