MotionX GPS Lite

Rating:
MMMMM - Matters!

Until Apple gets busy with their upcoming GPS application, we must look elsewhere. One place to look first is the people that bring you MotionX Poker and MotionX Dice. The programs are wonderful, and they decided to step out of the game/dice area and move towards GPS. Their GPS application, entitiled MotionX GPS Lite, is equally phenominal and happened to make it to the first page of my iPhone.

Game maker MotionX has just released GPS Lite, a free iPhone3G GPS app which provides a number of features normally found on a dedicated handheld GPS device. GPS Lite has five screens: The GPS status screen provides your current position and signal status. A stopwatch screen provides stopwatch features plus speed, distance, average speed, and elevation change.

The navigation screen shows a simulated compass and bearings and headings. A track screen displays your current track, but on a white background, rather than a map. A waypoints screen shows start and stop points and other user - settable waypoints.

GPS Lite takes iPhone3G GPS to a new level, but does not offer turn-by-turn navigation. This is a “Lite” version so I went searching for the paid version and did not find one, so it seems likely a paid version with even more features is on the way. However, I am not quite sure what else they could bring that’ll make it better than a five-star app. We’ll see…

This app is a great app and Apple should think about looking towards them to see exactly how a GPS app is suppose to be. Occasionally, I felt some lag, but and the other day, it crashed on me. A simple restart of the iPhone cleared that up in no time. So, go try out the application; you are bound to love it!

App now available in the App Store
Price: Free

Pros:
Track elapsed time, speed, distance traveled, and average pace.

No turn-by-turn directions…yet

Birthday apple app

This application allow you to send any type of birthday gifts to your friends and family members.

You will be able to customize your own unique looking gift cards and other fabulous looking birthday thanks. This might as an virtual gift, but it can use to give, that person you want to wish a happy birthday, he/she a good impression on who you are. Virtual can be use to express many positive side of you. Just keep one thing in mind, no matter how good and how nice the gift you created, it can not be use to replace the real physical gift; buy he/her a real gift as well.

Don’t let the simplicity of this app fool you, it is quite capable. Grocery IQ includes over 130,000 items in its’ database and you can add items to it as well to create a truly customized shopping list. Creating a shopping list is easy, all you have to do is start typing the name of the item and the app will instantly start searching for it. For example, if you type in “apple,” apples comes up quickly with a selection of 25 varieties to choose from—we didn’t even know that many types of apples existed!

This app can help you create a list with little chance for error, so if you send someone else to the store to purchase items that you need, you won’t get 20 cell phone calls from your volunteer shopper repeatedly asking you what it was you wanted exactly. It would help even more if you could add a picture.

Although we really liked this program it does have a few limitations; it can’t save lists, it doesn’t estimate price or allow you to enter a price and it would be nice if it would date purchased items.

For simple, one-time list creation or light shoppers, this program is excellent. It’s easy to find items and add special items. However, if you like to track costs and maintain multiple shopping lists, this app will just not do it for you. However, for 99 cents, we feel this is a good value and it delivers the features advertised by the developers.

Over 5,800 Drink & Cocktail recipes at the tap of your fingertips. Now you know what bartenders are putting into your expensive drinks. Drink & Cocktail Recipes databases typically cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. We’re giving it away to you for a low fee. Probably for less than your usual bartender’s tip.

Features:
* Add favorite drink recipes to your favorites list
* Browse through all of the drinks easily through an indexed list
* Use the search bar to easily find a specific recipe
* Search for drinks by ingredients!
* Jump to a drink category and find related drinks
* Or take a little risk and find yourself a random drink.

=============
Note from Developer: If you can’t afford to pay 2 bucks for the app, not to worry! A free version is available on the appstore as well and has ALL of the features of the pro version. The only difference is that it does contain banner advertisements.
We hope it’s a reasonable charge at $1.99. Think of it as a 2-bucks “tip.” Enjoy folks!

Like that kid from Jerry Maguire, the precocious application WeirdFacts, by Jens Beuckenhauer, volunteers odd facts for the iPhone user’s amusement. A Random Fact button at the bottom generates hundreds of weird facts on a notepad on the screen.
WeirdFacts offers up tidbits that are silly and strange, and often fascinating, like “Cats cannot taste sweet things” or “A full 7% of the entire Irish Barley crop goes to production of Guinness.” (I’d be curious to know how much American income goes to purchase of Guinness.)
Some of the facts in WeirdFacts are useful, such as “Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.” Others are just strange, “On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.” The best one I encountered in WeirdFacts for both ick factor and interest? “Alfred Hitchcock didn’t have a belly button. It was eliminated when he was sewn up after surgery.” Weird, indeed.
While pondering missing buttons, I realized that a back button to review previous weird facts would be convenient. Luckily, the likelihood of flipping through and encountering the same fact twice isn’t too rare. My WeirdFacts app started each time with “A cat has 32 muscles in each ear,” again and again because it is the fact of the day, which apparently the

WeirdFacts

changes daily for you. Repetition of other facts occurs, but new ones are included frequently to keep the rotation fresh despite repeats.
WeirdFacts is a fun novelty, likely a kid-pleaser. Its easy to imagine little ones enjoying learning facts like “Moths don’t have stomachs.” And if it’s true (which it is) that “Einstein couldn’t speak fluently by age nine, and his parents thought he might be retarded,” then there may be hope that this funny, frivolous app could, in fact, be a brilliant and fulfilling one!

In life there are weird facts and funny practices that defies logic and lateral thinking and these are things worth knowing to have a good laugh or a big smile. 2000 Awesome Facts is an application developed by Nikolay Nachev that contains 2000 of those random facts to give a good time to iPhone users.

Did you know that until the killing of President John F Kennedy, it wasn’t a federal crime to assassinate the President? Weird right? But it is true. 2000 Awesome Facts contains this kind of shocking, funny and surprising facts that would keep you and your friends entertained.

You’ll find most of the facts funny, but at the same time they would expose your ignorance about the funny side of life. Of course there are also some important information that you’ll love to try on your friends. Ask your friends, how many seconds are there in a year? Watch their dropped jaws and tell them the exact seconds in a year. You’ll find all the forgotten or ignored facts in this application. The app is a blend of history, geography, science, art and all thing that you can imagine.

2000 Awesome Facts is the largest random facts database that you’ll find in the App Store.

The application has a very simple interface; you need no instruction to start using the application. When you open the app, one random fact would appear, from here you can either tap or scroll on the screen of your iPod touch or iPhone to go to the next fascinating fact.

Whenever you open the application, one random fact would appear. The chances of 2000 Awesome Facts opening up with the same fact two times is pretty rare. The black background of the application and the big white simple fonts makes reading convenient and easy.

Flip out your iPhone anytime to read out pieces of funny facts that we all love to hear to cheer up people around you.

Update of the application would add more and more of those surprising facts.

iHunt 3D by John Moffett is a cool game for getting the feel of a real deer hunt. You can play either quick or full hunt. In quick hunt, you get to pick your difficulty and the season that you want to hunt in before starting your hunt.
In full hunt, you earn money buy hunting deer. You can then use the money to buy things in the shop or to upgrade your gear. You also try and get up to a higher level of experience as a hunter. The deer you shoot are worth more or less depending on how many shots it took you to take it down and the size of the deer.
To locate a deer, use the look mode to scroll around the level. Once you have located a deer, you can double tap to go into fire mode where you can look through your scope and shoot the deer.
My only complaint is that when you are in scope mode the view is not completely stable. It shakes around making it hard to get a lock on the deer. Overall, iHunt is a great game with cool 3D graphics.

Features:
- Realistic 3D landscape
- Highly detailed buck and doe models
- Super smooth animations
- Adjusts the lighting based on the time you play
- Two modes: quick hunt and career mode
- Hunting store to purchase new ammo and equipment
- ‘Bullet-tracking’ when you fire!!
- 4 different seasons

I would love to see the next update of iHunt because iHunt is all about hunting deers, I want to see more activities besides just hunting deers.

I would like to see deer attacking back at you when you missed a shot. Would that be cool that you have to backup a little bit when you missed a shot because the deer is running toward you trying to take you down? I think that will be a great idea because the player will get emotionally attached to that game due to the fact that player needed to do something else than just shooting.

We all played and loved the first version of StickWars but it felt a little unfinished , now with the release of the new update many of the issues have been addressed and new features have been implemented.
The game has a more polished feel now , the menu offers some setting , you can adjust the amount of blood that the little stickmen gush out ,you can adjust the game difficulty ( a great plus) and you can enable or disable the shake feature for when releasing the suicidal bombers.
Another great new feature are the wizards that you can train for your aid , with them you can mind control an attacking stickman by double tapping him or launch a devastating meteor by tapping the screen with two fingers.
Now that you have these new units, to balance things out the designers have added extra enemies in the form of devastating Siege Engines. These can only be destroyed by a bomber or by a meteor from a wizard.

What’s new:
- Game is now called ‘StickWars’.
- Adjustable difficulty levels.
- Adjustable amounts of blood.
- Online high-score rankings.
- Bug fixes.
- Interface improvements.
- Archer upkeep halved.
- Added wizards and repairmen.
- Decreased shake sensitivity for bombers. Also added option to disable shake to release bomber.
- Added a button on screen to release a bomber.
- New enemy! The Siege Engine is immune to your finger and must be killed by a bomb, a meteor, or archers.

I always loved to play stick wars on the computer, now to enjoy one of the most popular game on my hang is more pleasing than anything else. Not just stickwars brings entertainments, but it also can release your anger and spirit at the same time. When I was playing stickwars, I always put everything behind myself, and I just enjoying the game play and have fun.

No good can come of this, but if you’re in need to a quick and unreliable way to test your spouse’s fidelity, then the $8 Agile Lie Detector for the iPhone might work.

Allow me to repeat myself. No good can come of this.

The Agile Lie Detector uses voice stress analysis to judge a speaker’s words in real time. And while you admire the 3D spectrograph with no real clue what it means, a simple “lie meter” will indicate just how much your kids really like your chili, your mom didn’t mind changing your diapers or your wife…well…that woman is a saint just to be with you. Maybe you DON’T want to know if she’s just in it for the chili. Maybe you should just take her smile for what it is, a smile, and be thankful it’s there at all.

Do you ever watched “Lie to me”? It is a really nice show to watch.I tend to investigate that depicting lies is quite funny. It is even better when trying to tease someone’s words around when they lied because they needed to make up more lies to cover up their previous lies in which at certain point, they will hesitate. How entertain could it be if you know someone is lying to you, and you tried to go with the flow without letting them notice what you were planning to do.
