GoDaddy iPhone app gets updated, adds the ability to manage your domains

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

GoDaddy originally released their iPhone app back in mid-October, and although the app was nice it was missing one key feature — the ability to manage your domains. Well thankfully there was a new update to the GoDaddy Mobile app rolled out last night. The update brings the app up to version 2.0 and with

Mac Users: Keep track of your App Store spending with the App Store Expense Monitor

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

A while back I came to the conclusion that I have spent (as of May 21, 2009) a total of $143.70 on iPhone apps. And since then I have only added to that amount, but now there is a new tool that will make it a little easier to keep track of how much you

3D Aquarium App Review: Fish Feeding Frenzy

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Each person has their own personal preference of pets. Personally, I’m a dog person. However, I have had the occasional hamster, lizard or fish. Most people end up buying pet fish because they’re under the impression it’s a quick, cheap and easy way to enjoy the benefits of pet ownership. But those people quickly learn

The Inferno Challenges Mind and Soul

Monday, December 28th, 2009

The Inferno is an excellent puzzle game that may force you to touch up on your medieval history.  While the plot is closer to that of an action/adventure game, it plays more like a typical puzzle game with darker undertones. You play as Middle Ages poet Dante ; who is aided by his friend Virgil (a classical Roman poet) on your quest to rescue your beloved Beatrice. It turns out she was murdered by her husband after learning of your affair with her – which of course has landed her a court date in Hell. You must find and rescue her before her sentence is handed down. In order to pull this off, you must work your way through the circles of Hell by collecting lost souls and avoiding the beasts, ghosts, and other creatures who try to ruin your path. The Inferno requires skill in quick thinking, patience, and careful planning. To control Dante there are two directional pads on either side of the screen: one for vertical movement and the other horizontal. This arrangement takes a bit of getting used to, although if you don’t like it just head to the settings menu and switch to a four-directional control pad; available on either side of the screen. Dante’s movement in gameplay is not as fluid as it could be, though it does make sense given that the gameplay involves carefully moving through the mazes one square at a time. After a bit of time with The Inferno you should adjust to the controls pretty easily. After conquering each level The Inferno will mock you with snarky phrases like, “You are going to love dying” or “Here’s an easy one.” Virgil gives you a pretty good tutorial on how to maneuver through the circles of Hell. The first few scenes are pretty easy, with little to no enemies. But as the game progresses there are bridges that disappear after you walk on them, fireballs, spikes, and mazes to work through. In order to pass each level you must collect innocent souls, which are represented as glowing orbs. Dante informs you that some of them are from unbaptized youth (didn’t your grandmother tell you to get baptized?) Once you have collected all of the souls for a level, then the portal to the next one opens. The Inferno is an excellent challenge with great screen response and a good pace of difficulty. It should satisfy puzzle game fans and lovers of Medieval poetry. rating: 9/10 app_name: The Inferno © AppCraver , 2009. | The Inferno Challenges Mind and Soul | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

AT&T to New Yorkers: No online iPhone sales for you

Monday, December 28th, 2009

In what seems to be a pretty strange move, and one that does not yet have a clear answer as to why — AT&T has stopped online sales of the iPhone for those located in New York City. Of course, this does not mean anyone affected cannot get an iPhone, it just means they would actually

Memory Stick App Review: Share and Move Files

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Computers have come a long way since they first appeared on the scene way back when. They use to be mammoths, taking up whole rooms or building and requiring a massive power source. However, now the majority of us carry around computers in our pockets and plug them into the wall to charge them. One

ShowAnytime Provides Power Point Portability

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

ShowAnytime is an app with potential and for a few remaining hours is made a bit better by being on sale. If the ability to put Power Point presentations on your iPhone or touch is appealing to you, ShowAnytime is a basic way to achieve your goal. It does have its limitations, but the potential for Power Point portability coupled with a way to display the file directly from the device has appeal. ShowAnytime supports .ppt and .pdf files, and because the ability to wirelessly transfer .pdf files exists in several apps, it’s really all about the .ppt support. Coincidentally, I recently had an instance where ShowAnytime could have come in handy had I discovered it earlier. My son created a presentation for a school project and suffered a bit of transfer and display issues between his computer at home and the one at school. I tested out ShowAnytime with his recent presentation and not only was the wireless transfer quick and easy, ShowAnytime includes a built-in pointer. Granted, you can’t transfer the file from the app to another computer, but with the proper cables you’d be all set to display on a TV screen, smart board, or other display. ShowAnytime does come with limitations, such as only supporting “PNG,” “WMF,” “JPEG” and “BMP” image files. The developer clearly states the app’s limitations, also including no support of complex AutoShapes and flowcharts, animation, and the estimated size limit restrictions. ShowAnytime is designed to deal in a 2 to 4 MB range for most users. Once your file is loaded, you can easily connect to a screen with a composite AV cable and then control your presentation with a simple swipe. Notes that were added to the slides can be seen on screen below the slides on your device, while only the slide itself is displayed on the connected screen. Dot and arrow laser pointers are included for ease of presentation. All in all, it’s a relatively straightforward and simple to use application. With an awareness and full disclosure by the developer of ShowAnytime limitations, it’s left up to the user to find the potential. Having had no end-user problems myself, I would definitely recommend grabbing ShowAnytime if there are any simple Power Point presentations in your near future. In fact, I’m pleased to have found it and am encouraging my kid to use it for his next school project. * ShowAnytime was on sale for $1.99 through December 25. However, it’s still showing in the App Store at the sale price. Hurry over, and you may still catch the deal! rating: 7/10 app_name: ShowAnytime © AppCraver , 2009. | ShowAnytime Provides Power Point Portability | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !
