Review: LingoPal - Fun Multilingual Phrasebook

July 3, 2009

It would be great if I was charming, confident, and authentic when speaking other languages, but I’m not. Good thing there’s LingoPal then. This useful little app features translations of common things you might need to ask as well as authentic-sounding recordings in 41 different languages. I don’t know how all the speakers in the [...]

Review: Animals? for iPhone

July 1, 2009

It’s a good feeling when you find a cool new iPhone app, and it can also be pretty lousy when you find an app you had high hopes for that turns out to be quite crappy. My daughter now has her own iPhone (my old V1 with phone service turned off) and is getting [...]

Review: mAdvNote on iPhone

June 30, 2009

mAdvNote is a cute little app with a less-than-catchy name that lets you insert pics, doodles to audio and text notes on your iPhone.
The app touts itself as a productivity tool yet I felt more like playing around with its features rather than recording any serious ideas. The interface is easy to navigate around and [...]

Jukebox Music Quiz for iPhone

June 24, 2009

I must confess - I’m no gamer. Which is a blessing in disguise for me cos’ when I DO get into games I become a die-hard addict (yes, I HAVE spent a lifetime on Tetris and Sudoku). I usually resist, but not always.
Still, when the latest offering by Swipe Interactive was released this past week – [...]

Multi-Photo Email replaced by Photos + Mail in 3.0

June 21, 2009

Ah, Multi-Photo Email: do you remember that time that I used you to send multiple photos via e-mail? You were so brave and so strong, and you handled more than five images at a time for a mere $0.99 on the App Store. You were a very dear friend to me for a very long [...]

Review: ESPN ScoreCenter for iPhone

June 15, 2009

ESPN is a mainstay for me in terms of my TV watching habits. I regularly tune into (or record) SportsCenter, PTI, the NFL Live and Baseball live shows, live events, and some of the ‘Classic’ type material as well.
Seeing any ESPN app hit the App Store is interesting to me, and ESPN ScoreCenter [...]

The easiest way to listen to audiobooks on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Best of all, we offer over 2,000 FREE audiobooks with more being added daily.
