People love sending virtual gifts to their friends and family, either through Social Networks or via eGreetings cards. But there’s a new kid on the block, with a new world-first mobile service demonstrating how there is clearly a desire for ‘real’. Now you can send real little treats to help mark a special moment with increased sentiment. The app is called ParcelGenie, and allows you to ping a pal a prezzie, instantly. It’s like an enhanced form of text messaging, enabling you to attach a real little gift!
Whether it’s a buddy’s birthday, whether someone’s a little under the weather, or whether you want to say thank you, or just be awesome, enter ParcelGenie! The service is easy to use, very clever, and is no hassle and inexpensive. Now, let me tell you how it works: after opening the app, you are asked to select your country. You are then presented with a whole host of gift goodies. Simply select a friend from your phonebook, select a gift, add a message if you like, and ‘ping’ – it’s gone. You can even pay on your phone bill so very fast and convenient [Read More…]
The iPhone isn’t just a place to hold fun applications, it’s also an important tool for serious use too. One industry that the iPhone has really revolutionised is the medical profession, and it’s apps like RespCalc Medical Calculator that are helping hospital staff every day.
RespCalc Medical Calculator is a medical calculator that can calculate everything from an individual’s Body Mass Index to a dosage of medication. The app works very smoothly, after choosing an equation, you’re brought to a new screen that starts with various input fields and radio buttons for the equation’s variables. These are all very clearly delineated and easy to use, and the equation auto-completes once they’re all placed [Read More…]
The Jewel Frenzy iPhone app from Inzmore combines addictive match gameplay, unique graphics and a little something extra for a stellar iPhone app experience. If you’re looking for a challenging new app with a lot of charm pay close attention to my iPhone app review of Jewel Frenzy.
In Jewel Frenzy the idea is to collect matching gems. Basically, the player needs to tap on a block of 3 or more of same color gems. Sounds easy? No! What makes this even more difficult and challenging is the presence of a 90 seconds timer. Match fast, pick up bonuses, special gems and earn mega points [Read More…]
Very few genres have been more overplayed on the iPhone, and sadly, most of them just don’t stand up to par. Thankfully, though there are still the occasional gems to be found, including one of our more recent finds, Tanks and Turrets 2, by developer Gordon Roberts. The app brings a wealth of quality strategy and gameplay to the table, creating an atmosphere and title that we appreciated immensely, though Tanks and Turrets 2 may not be the most original app you play all year. For our full thoughts on this brand-new strategy game for the iPhone, check below beyond the break [Read More…]
For me, going to the movies used to be quite the online ordeal. I’d look up the few theaters nearby, search through their listings, read the synopsis and reviews, and because I’m a preview fanatic, I’d typically search YouTube for the trailer before deciding whether or not to go check out the film.
Now that I have Kinema on my Touch, the whole process is much faster. Developed by AppSequence, Kinema is a creative app that keeps a track of the upcoming releases, movies that are currently running in theatres and next week openings. This app is extremely easy to use. Once you select a particular movie, you’ll see the rating, length, fan rating, and a short synopsis. If you’re like me, you’ll tap the play button to watch the full trailer. And if you want even more info on the film, just tap “movie details”, where you can read a full synopsis, see the cast and director, and browse through fan reviews and ratings [Read More…]
I remember the moment clearly when I decided on a whim during a lunch break to get new pair of glasses for my eyes to achieve the Johnny Depp look―big mistake. If only I had the iGlasses iPhone app (free) to virtually try on the trendy glasses, it would have saved myself a lot of heartache and two-month savings.
Developed by Green Cloud, iGlasses gives you the freedom to put glasses on any photo in your camera album, or take a fresh one to make your picture pop with some cool shades. After selecting a picture, tap any glasses icon in the bottom panel to add it to the picture, swiping the bottom panel will give you tons of extra glasses for your pleasure [Read More…]
