Plan Your Next Fishing Trip with WFN Fishing Log

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

If you love to fish, and you have an iPhone, you’re likely already obsessed with WFN Fishing Log . On the off chance that you’re not, this is the new app on offer from WorldFishingNetwork.com, the online community/compendium of all things fishing-related. WFN Fishing Log aims to be a one-stop fisherman’s log book, with tools to help a fishing trip along, from the planning phase to the post-trip bragging. When the app is started, the splash screen will display the four basic functions of the app: My Trips, My Albums, My Maps, and Tools. My Trips is where you store all the data of a trip, sort of like a personal diary. The formatting is taken care of, so all the user has to do is upload photos, write notes, document the fish caught, and put down other useful data for future reference. The app design is very polished and streamlined– location, for example, can be selected by using the built-in GPS.

SporTracker iPhone App Review – Keep on Runnin’

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

I’m not Mr. Sport.  I find the idea of running when you’re over the age of 12 uncouth, I never use the word ‘ripped’ in connection with anything other than a piece of paper, and am convinced that anyone ‘pushing their body to the limit’ is either all talk or looking for a quick route

monCarbone HoverCoat iPhone 4 Case Review and Video

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

I remember buying a real carbon dashboard insert for a previous car and it costing well in to three-figures, but it was worth it for the stylish looks and vague association with the high-tech world of motor racing. Why is carbon fiber so prevalent in motor racing?  Because it’s lightweight and very strong, which also makes

Listen in Real Time With Talk Stream Live Internet Radio Player

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Thanks to the Talk Stream Live app by talk Stream Live, LLC, my son’s spring season soccer practices will be a blast! First off I must admit, as a listener and also a broadcaster , that I love Internet radio. What I don’t like is having to be tied to the computer all the time to listen live to my favorite shows. I have spent many an hour sitting at the park while my son is at soccer practice wishing that I could listen to one of my favorites while watching the practice. Instead, I’d listen to music or some older show I’d already downloaded onto my iPhone. That was until I discovered Talk Stream Live . Talk Stream Live is designed to allow you to listen to Internet radio talk shows live on your iPhone, iTouch and iPad. When you activate the Talk Stream Live app you immediately see a list of Internet radio shows currently streaming live—and also some replays.

Dark Knight and Inception Movie Apps Released

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Before you shrug this off as being about another pair of movie tie-in games, read on a moment, as these new apps contain the films themselves rather than a game!  Released by Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, Inception and The Dark Knight App Editions are an innovative entry into the world of movies-on-the-go. Here’s how it works:

Solve Puzzles and Ogle Ladies with Shanghai Party Girls

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

To the credit of Shanghai Party Girls , a new app for the iPhone, it’s not just a hastily-thrown-together collection of pictures that were obviously culled from a Google image search. No, Shanghai Party Girls is actually a kind of game. While the official iTunes description says it’s a series of “jigsaw puzzles,” what you actually get is a mosaic-style puzzle game. Thirty pictures of sexy Shanghainese girls have been scrambled, and you have to shuffle around the tiles to put them back together before the timer runs out. Now, to be fair, the thirty pictures of sexy Shanghainese girls were probably just taken from a Google image search. If all you want to do is look at these more or less tame, nudity-free pictures of people you will never meet, then save yourself the download and head over to Google. If you want to just play a little mosaic game, but you don’t want someone to glance over your shoulder and assume that you are a total creep, then you might also want to steer clear of this game. The App Store is loaded with free alternatives. Now, if you’re one of the few who desperately wants to see scrambled pictures of sexy girls, and you want to solve little puzzles, and you also want to listen to repetitive techno music—congratulations! Someone finally made an app just for you. Read the rest of Solve Puzzles and Ogle Ladies with Shanghai Party Girls AppCraver.com, 2011. | Best iPhone Applications | Top iPhone Apps  

Entertain and Embarrass Your Friends with Super Friends!

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Super Friends! the app is not to be confused with the campy animated show from the 1970s. Instead, it’s an irreverent social media Q & A game, similar to countless to Facebook applications. The method of play will be familiar to many, and easy-to-understand for just about anyone. After the game is opened and configured, it will display one of 400 random questions about one of your friends, selected at random. Answer the question in the funniest, most interesting way you can, then post the answer online for your friends to see. Since Super Friends! feels so much like one of those Facebook applications that’s constantly begging permission to post to your wall and access your private data, what’s the advantage of making Super Friends! into its own separate iPhone app? First of all, Super Friends! has set its sights on a target slightly broader than Facebook. If you’d like, the game will be limited only to Facebook, but it’s also possible to play and post answers directly to Twitter, or even to play with contacts from your Apple Address Book and then share your answers more directly. You can make your answers as public or as private as you like. The game has other virtues, too. Read the rest of Entertain and Embarrass Your Friends with Super Friends!
