Navy Patrol: Coastal Defense is Free!

On January 8, 2010, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

PRICE: FREE (App Store Link)
While it might not have the shortest name, Navy Patrol Coastal Defense is free!  The Open Feint enabled game appeared in the Appvent Calendar in December (you know, the thing that filled up my iPhone with great, free games?)

Navy Patrol Coastal Defense is a fun defender game (similar to the flash game Canyon Defense.)  I would recommend taking a quick look while you can check it out for no dollars!

From IGN:
Don’t be fooled into thinking Navy Patrol: Coastal Defense is just another tower defense game. While it does use the basic formula, the addition of deployable, timed power-ups gooses Navy Patrol with some much-needed extra strategy. If ICS Mobile can keep up with the promised updates and refine the menu system, Navy Patrol will be an on-going treat for tower defense fans.

Facebook 3.1.1 for iPhone Released – Adds Contact Sync

On January 7, 2010, In iPhone Apps, by admin

PRICE: FREE (App Store Link)

Facebook App for iPhone was just updated to 3.1.1 from 3.1 yesterday.  This fixed a minor bug with syncing.  Here is what 148apps.com had to say about the 3.1 update:

Facebook has debuted version 3.1, the next major release to the software. Thankfully, this version adds full support for Apple’s Push Notification Service, meaning you can now setup the app to notify you of various types of status alert. Not to add more the in-app interface, (heck – the app is overflowing with functionality!), the guys at Facebook have decided to oust the settings for notifications to iPhone OS Settings. Simply head over to Settings > Facebook. Configurable notification options include the ability to setup push alerts for Messages, Wall posts, Friend requests, Friend confirmations, Photo tags, Events and of course, Comments.

LinkedIn iPhone App 3.0 Launches

On December 30, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

Professionals who both own iPhones and are members of LinkedIn are in for a treat. LinkedIn for iPhone 3.0 has been released, and the new app (which remains free) represents an improvement over the old one in almost every way.

The most obvious change comes in the form of a fresh user interface. Adam Nash, Vice President of Search and Platform Products at LinkedIn, explained in a blog post, “We’ve worked to bring the most common and important features to the top of the application, to make it easy to get what you need as quickly as possible. We wanted to make sure that even if you only have thirty seconds to spare, you can get something done.”

WorldMate brings Push Notification to Already Great Travel iPhone App

On August 5, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

Price: FREE (link to App Store)

This is a phenomenal app that syncs all your travel data seamlessly. The Gold edition ($19.99) features push notification of things such as flight changes or itinerary confirmation.
This app brings all your travel information to your iPhone in a beautiful manner. Check it out!


From Techcrunch:

“WorldMate begins winning you over in the itinerary building stage. It offers a couple of ways to automatically build it for you. One way is to enter the info directly on WorldMate.com. The second is by email—manually, or using an Outlook toolbar. WorldMate is able to parse confirmation emails from over a hundred travel agencies, airlines, hotel chains, and car rental agencies. Once it has automatically pieced together all of your trip details and stored key data such as confirmation numbers, phone numbers and seat numbers, the itinerary is synced over-the-air to the iPhone app.”

Whole Foods Market Recipes App is Elegant, Powerful – Free

On June 26, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

whole-foods-market-recipes-iphone-appPrice: FREE (link to App Store)

Whole Foods Market launched the new Recipe app for iPhone and iPod Touch.  This is a simple, elegant application that allows one to search for recipes based on dietary restrictions, as well as by main ingredient.  These are some really great features that other iPhone recipe apps don’t feature.  There are many people for whom this will make shopping trips much easier, as you can choose from recipes such as Low Fat, Gluten Free or Dairy Free.

From AppCraver:

As awareness in food preparation, such as gluten-free foods or diabetic-friendly dishes, and an appreciation for natural and organic foods grows, it’s not surprising to see so many companies responding in kind. Whole Foods Market has developed an app for iPhone that is designed to help those interested in preparing meals and dishes from natural and organic foods, with or without dietary preferences. Whole Foods Market Recipes is available for iPhone (3.0 only) for free and is actually an impressive recipe app for anyone.

TripIt’s Travel Organizer App for iPhone – Free

On April 12, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

tripit-iphone-screenshotPrice: FREE (link to App Store)

This is a service I use fairly regularly.  It allows you to forward the confirmation emails from your travel providers to the TripIt.com and they will automatically add the details to your itinerary.

From TUAW:

Tripit.com imports and interprets your itineraries from airlines, hotel chains, ticket outlets, and other travel companies. When you receive an itinerary from one of these providers, you forward it to a special Tripit email address to have it translated into a trip plan automatically (the site supports hundreds of travel providers, and the translation from email into structured itinerary is really quite amazing). You can share your travel plans with friends or colleagues via LinkedIn, and see when your fellow travelers are heading to a city near you or when their plans align with yours.

That collection of trip plans is what you view with the Tripit.com app. The app is linked to your Tripit.com account, and displays a day by day list of flights, car rentals, and other events that make up your trips. Each event can be opened in further detail to show information such as arrival and departure times, confirmation numbers, and more. Links for airport codes bring up Google Maps of the airport vicinity, and other links can check your flight status with a touch.

WebApps Finder makes iPhone web apps relevant again – Free

On March 16, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

webapps-finder-screenshotPrice: Free (link to App Store)

If you were around for the first iPhone, you remember that everything that Apple didn’t provide came in the form of a web app.  And they were pretty awful.  And then the App Store cometh from Apple.  And it was good.  All of a sudden, web apps were a thing of the past.  Why would we need to be limited by apps of the web when we could have apps of the store?

Well, we all turned our backs on the poor little web apps, but some of those gangly teenagers grew up to be hot.  And WebApps Finder is sort of like the “where are they now” to our yearbook.  Seriously, have you checked out some of these new and improved web apps?  It’s worth it.

WebApps Finder provides an App Store-ish interface that features some web apps while providing categorical listings for the others.  

Know of any good web apps?  Leave them in the comments.

Yahoo! Releases Inquisitor App for iPhone – Free

On March 9, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

yahoo-inquisitor-iphone-screenshotPrice: Free (link to App Store)

Inquisitor for iPhone — a new app from Yahoo! — searches.  Easily.  As much as I hate to admit that any search other than one that rhyme’s with “oogle” is valid, Yahoo’s release of Inquisitor for iPhone is really easy.

The application uses suggested keywords, similar to a normal, web-based Yahoo search, which is really handy on a mobile device like the iPhone.  The app also acts as a “search-enhanced browser,” with the destination site loaded within the application itself.  You can then go back to alter a search term or look at a different result.

You should definitely check this one out to see how you like the user interface compared to Google Search App for iPhone.

TED Conference App for iPhone – Free

On March 7, 2009, In Apps, iPhone Apps, by admin

The TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is truly a gathering place of great ideas. Attendance to this annual conference is basically by invitation only and features a series of talks by some of the leading thinkers, creators and innovators. Basically, this is the conference I dream to attend!

For years, none of the TED Talks were ever shown outside the conference, but that changed a few years ago, with the addition of the TED videos on their website as well as on iTunes.

Now, you can get them on your iPhone or iPod Touch with the TED App for iPhone. If you are stuck at the airport or on a bus, you can feed your brain. The videos are good quality on both wifi and 3g.
