The app for November 27th is “Wallpaper”. Dude this app is SWEET!! When you first open the app is gives you a little warning that your wallpaper is about to be shared with everyone. If you decide to continue, a copy of whatever your wallpaper is when you tap continue is put into a pool with everyone else’s. This is where is gets really cool, it then scrolls through everyone else’s wallpaper showing a new one every 5 seconds or so. But, it gets even cooler (if that is a word)…if you see a really sweet wallpaper that you want to put as your wallpaper, just tap on the image and select “use as wallpaper” and it sets it as your wallpaper!! However, it does replace your current wallpaper so if your wallpaper is a picture you took that is no longer in your photos make sure you really want to replace it. There are a few things I can think of that would make this app even better… [Read more…]
Piano Update 1.4
YAY!! This update to Piano is exactly what I have been waiting for!!! I’m sooooo excited. The weird staticy noise is now gone and the piano sounds great! I can even play more then one note at a time. Sean is really on the ball tonight…great job!
Piano Update 1.3
There has just been an update in installer.app to today’s iApp-a-Day – Piano. The update vastly improves the sound of the piano…instead of the video game tones you once heard…it now sounds much more like a piano. I did find that you can only play one note at a time now. Before the update you were able to play two notes at the same. And for some reason I am still getting the weird staticy noise every time I play a note. But, I like the update…I much prefer the new sound of the piano…good job Sean.
iApp-a-Day – Piano
The app for November 26th is “Piano”. This is a fun little app. It opens to a screen of a piano, just tap on the keys to hear the tone. However, you will not hear the typical piano sounds, according to the developer, the sound is straight out of classic 8-bit video games. The only issue I have found with this app is that you can get some weird staticy noise if you tap the key quickly…it sounds better if you hold the key down for a second or two. Other than that…very cool…one even the kids would like!! Screenshots:
iApp-a-Day – World
The app for November 25th is “World”. When you open this app it brings up a picture of the world. As you watch, it shows pictures from around the world. A little red icon moves to indicate where the picture was taken from. To add your own picture just tap on the screen. I think this is a very cool idea…the only I problem I see with it is that wherever you tap on the screen, that is where it says your picture was taken from. So, if you tap on Antarctica, without knowing how the app works, and then take your picture…when your picture comes up it will say you are from Antarctica. What would be really sweet is if it used ip addresses and tracked it that way. Here are some screenshots:
iApp-a-Day – Bard
The app for November 24th is “Bard”. If you have played hangman then Bard will be no problem for you. Well, I take that back…since all the puzzles are Shakespeare’s prose. To choose a letter, tap on the prose you are trying to solve. Select the letter you want and tap “Could Be.” If you would like to look at the puzzle again without picking a letter, tap “Not To Be.” Each time you choose a letter it takes it out to of the option list…so, you don’t choose the same letter twice. If you pick a letter that is not in the prose it starts to build an image of a Bard (according to wiki a Bard is a professional poet from back in the day). You can only get 6 letters wrong before the game is over. Whether you have won or lost a screen pops up with a little saying and the option to play again. Below are some screenshots:
iToggle 1.0.4 from modmyifone
iToggle is a lot like Services. It allows you to turn on and off services on your iPhone. iToggle lets you do a lot more than Services – Phone, EDGE, Bluetooth, WiFi, SSH, Socks Server, Tinyproxy, & Auto-Lock.
iApp-a-Day – Leftover
The app for November 23rd is “Leftover”. SURPRISE!! I can’t tell you how surprised I was to open my installer and see tomorrow’s app already there!! But, according to the developer, he put it out early for all of those who will be up bright and early to go shopping!! YAY shopping! I think this is a very cool and useful app (especially for tomorrow). The app opens to a screen giving you the basic gist of the app. To starting using the app just tap the screen. Next, you will need to add a category and the amount allocated to that category. My category is going to be Black Friday and my allocated amount is going to be $1000.00 (because rumor has it iMacs are going to be half price)!! [Read more…]
iApp-a-Day – Songbird
The app for November 22nd is “Songbird”. Today’s iApp-a-Day is in celebration of Thanksgiving. It opens to a gobbling turkey hopping around the screen. It then plays tracks out of your iTunes. You can go to the next random track by tapping on the turkey. This is very similar to another app called iPowerHour which plays 60sec clips out of your itunes for one hour. If you like this app you might want to check out that one too!
iPhoneSynth
With the new modmyifone.com source comes new apps. iPhoneSynth is a looping musical synthesizer. You can adjust note, octave, length, cuttoff, resonance and tone type. This is a great app to annoy others with :)
Here’s what it sounds like.
RainbowLight
This is a new app from the ModMyiFone source. If you use the app Light you will love this one too. The app opens to a blank screen, just tap the screen to get a color to come up. You can then change the color of the screen by dragging your finger vertically (top to bottom) on the right side of the screen. To change the brightness of the color on the screen just drag your finger horizontally (left to right). The colors fade from one to another creating a large color gradient. You can also go from black to white by dragging your finger vertically (top to bottom) on the left side of the screen. If you want to get to a white screen quickly just tap in the bottom left corner. If you want to get to a black screen quickly just tap on the top left corner. The only downfall to this app is it doesn’t keep your color when you reopen the app. I would love for mine to open to the color in the screenshot below!
iApp-a-Day – Mixup
The app for November 21st is “Mixup”. This is a great little app. It opens to a screen of blocks with letters on them (they look like little scrabble blocks). The letters are mixed up but, when put in order they form a word. To move the letters around just drag them. When you have the word spelled correctly a screen pops up that says, Correct! and shows you the word. It also has a play again button that you can tap to get a new word. The largest word that you can get is a six letter word. One observation is that a few times I had letters that spelled more then one word and had to change it until I got the right one. Other than that, this is a SUPER fun app, definitely one I will keep installed. Also, after looking at the code…it looks like there are quite a few words programed into the app and even the potential to add your own words up to six letter long…so play away! Here are some screenshots:
iSnake
iSnake is a new app in the ModMyiFone.com source. It is still a beta according to the information in the Installer.app. Even though it’s beta, it ROCKS. This game is addicting and just plain fun. In fact, it’s so fun that when you lose, that’s fun too. [Read more…]
ModMyiFone Source
We’ve added a new source to our sources page and you can trust this one. ModMyiFone has published their own source at modmyifone.com/installer.xml. Just add it to your Sources in Installer.app. So far they have the following apps: iSnake, iPhoneSynth, Metronome and iToggle. There are also starting to add Summerboard themes. We’ve testing the summerboard theme and all the apps but iToggle and they are all working well with 1.1.1. Careful, you will get addicted to iSnake!
iApp-a-Day – Sleigh
The app for November 20th is “Sleigh”. This app is simple yet challenging. It uses the accelerometer to control Santa sliding left to right in a sled to avoid the “falling ice of doom! If you get Santa killed, it’s all your fault no one gets presents.
