Review: WeBe for the iPhone [iPhone App Reviews]

January 19, 2010

WeBe is an iPhone app that is hard to review. On the one hand, it is extremely well-designed and executed. It works almost flawlessly. On the other hand, its usefulness is questionable. If nothing else, WeBe exceeds in being delightfully simple. WeBe turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a wireless mouse. That’s it, plain [...]

Review: bjango’s Consume usage monitor for iPhone

January 6, 2010

Don’t be fooled by Consume’s icon: this usage monitor has nothing to do with pie. There isn’t even a pie chart anywhere in the app, and trust me, I’ve looked. No, Consume is actually a phone and internet plan counter, and it shows you all of the relevant account information on cards (similar to the [...]

Review: Mercury Web Browser trumps iPhone’s Safari

December 26, 2009

As much as I like having access to the web through the iPhone, and I wonder whose brilliant idea it was to set up Safari to hijack as much real estate on the screen as it does. Why do I need to see the address window while navigating the web when space is limited to [...]

Review: Gmail Push for iPhone

December 23, 2009

I’m a huge fan of email. It can collected, collated, archived, sorted, searched, forwarded and best of all without a literal paper trail.

December 17, 2009

After I first got my 3Gs and began traveling, I yearned for a consistent time piece on which I could rely to awaken me in the morning. Fumbling around with cheap alarm clocks in various hotels often left me annoyed – especially when the time was inaccurate and I neglected to notice. Before my iPhone, [...]

November 25, 2009

Well this is a surprise: Rogers is actually doing something useful for its customers in the form of a free usage tracking application for the iPhone. I just downloaded the app earlier this morning, but there’s not much to it, so it’s easy to pump this quick review out.
First of all, it doesn’t work on [...]

Quick Review: Clocks – Multi Time Zone Alarm Clock for iPhone/iPod Touch

November 18, 2009

Let us for a minute consider time zones. A necessary evil to be sure, but frustrating for those who either travel far away or who need to communicate with those who are. What time is it in Jakarta? Does Iraq observe daylight savings time? I need to call home at 7am, what time will [...]

Review: Tlert 1.05.1 for iPhone

November 7, 2009

[Jailbreak required]
Tlert, like Elert, is a notification app for messages on the iPhone. With Tlert installed your text messages will no longer pop up in a big, obtrusive box, but rather as a cuddly little bubble (in the colour of your choice) on the top-left hand of the screen. As a handy dandy bonus, Tlert [...]
