nuTsie Top 100’s by Year

Pros:

-Very user friendly

-Wide range of years, 1948-2009

-The option to buy the song you’re listing to

Cons:

-If you have bad service, song will cut out

I’ll be honest.  This is my first review of an app, so I felt it fitting to review one of the first apps I downloaded.  I bought it the second day I had my iPhone, and believe me, I am a frugal shopper when I look at apps.  So when I saw nuTsie’s Top 100’s, and for only $1.99, I figured it would be a good deal.

What I didn’t realize was how far back this thing goes!  Do you like Johnny Cash?  Elvis?  How about Ella Fitzgerald?  Nutsie goes back all the way to 1948, and finishes up at 2009.  That is 6,100 songs at your fingertips.  For $1.99, people.

It’s very simple to navigate, simply scroll to select your favorite year of music and let the music take you back.  Oh, what’s that, this song reminds you of bad memories from high school, getting a wedgie in the parking lot while someone’s car radio blasted “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera?  No problem, simply skip to the next song.

Essentially, nuTsie is a radio type app, like Pandora.  You can skip songs, you can purchase the song directly from iTunes, and you can even go to the YouTube music video while still in the app.

However, for you to enjoy the music to the fullest, you have to be in an area where you get full service, or at least a strong wireless signal.  Otherwise, you will be singing a capella at the top of your lungs to Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” when the music suddenly cuts out.

Overall, this is a good app for the cost.  Unfortunately, if you like alternative music that isn’t mainstream, you’re not likely to find many songs here that you’ll enjoy.  But I do have to say that this is an app that saves me from buying songs on iTunes, but keeps me guessing.  You never know when you’ll hear a song that you love, but you completely forgot about.

4.5/5
$1.99

Navy Patrol: Coastal Defense is Free!

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.

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.
