Sketches 0.7b7

Brooke — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:24:06 +0000

Available In: Installer

Price: Free

The update to Sketches 0.7b7 only has one change that I have noticed. You are now able to shake to erase your drawings. A few updates ago, that feature was removed, but it looks like they have added it back in! Other than that, I do not notice any visual changes to the application. Let me know in the comments if you notice anything. Sketches is available through the AppTapp Offical source.

Note: Available on 1.1.4 and below

PhoneZap 1.3.8

Brooke — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:43:37 +0000

The update to PhoneZap fixes a bug in the Ringtone creating section of the application. In the previous version, if you have a period in the title of a ringtone, it would not work. They have fixed it in version 1.3.8 so that you can have a period in the title of a ringtone. PhoneZap is available through the AppTapp source.

Sketches 0.7b5

Brooke — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:15:41 +0000

The update to version 0.7b5 of Sketches does not add any new features or make any huge visual changes to the application. However, it does fix a bug and make some improvements to the app. Some small visual changes include the Camera and Photo icons are slightly different and they also now have the indented button background. The main icon has also been updated…it is much cleaner around the edges. The bug fix has to do with Sketches not correctly remembering the last drawing when you close the application. There were also Twitter improvements which include, “Error detection has been improved, so empty images should no longer be poster. This was specifically the case when posting via unreliable GPRS/EDGE connections. The error message is no longer autodismissed. If the post is performed successfully, however, the confirmation popup is automatically dismissed in 4 seconds.” Sketches is avilable through the AppTapp source.

PhoneZap 1.3.7

Brooke — Thu, 29 May 2008 04:35:03 +0000

This update to PhoneZap claims to have fixed all bugs when creating ringtones! I did have a few issues after installing the update…every time I opened the application, it would just close back to the SpringBoard. So, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it which fixed the problem. Once in the application, I was able to easily create a ringtone and save it. However, I can not for the life of me get the ringtones I create to set as my ringtone! I go into Settings/Sounds/Ringtone and choose my ringtone…it plays the preview just fine but, when someone calls it plays the Marimba ringtone and not the ringtone I chose! Let me know in the comments if it is working for you. I wish it would work…I have a ton of ringtones I want to create!! It also seems that they are going to be releasing version 1.4.0 soon which will have quite a few new features. PhoneZap is available through the AppTapp source.

Custom Digg Theme

Sahil — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:56:44 +0000

Digg is a theme inspired by Digg.com made by the famous Louie Mantia. Digg is by far my favorite theme of all the themes I have ever used or ever seen. It is just so clean and beautiful . It only comes with stock application icons but, I made a package with more custom icons in it. If you can not find the specific custom icon you are looking for, you can just rename one of the other icons I have provided. You can get the Digg theme from the AppTapp source. Check out the screenshots below!

::::INSTALLATION NOTE:
1. Install Digg Theme

2. Get the custom icon pack HERE

3. Download and Unzip the package.

4. Then SSH into your iPhone and place icons in: /private/var/mobile/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/Louie Mantia – Digg

Note: You will have to rename some of the icons to fit the applications you want to use them for.

PhoneZap 1.2.9

Brooke — Sat, 24 May 2008 03:10:40 +0000

Since the last version of PhoneZap, you are now able to delete comments posted on your Zaps. Which is definitely a nice feature. They have also implemented a filter that keeps inappropriate images from being displayed in the public Zapz. Another great feature! Besides those two features, there have also been a number of bug fixes. And, I have actually noticed a pretty decent improvement in the functionally of the application. I do not get nearly as much glitching as in the previous version. PhoneZap is available through the AppTapp source.

StreetFlow 0.9 – Update

Brooke — Fri, 23 May 2008 03:35:18 +0000

I was looking at StreetFlow today and realized that there are a few features I didn’t notice when I did my first review of version 0.9. One of the features includes default images for some restaurants, if there has not already been an image submitted by a user. There are even different default images based on the type of restaurant. Also, when you tap on a comment, there is the option to add that person to your Friends List. Until I saw this feature I was always confused on how I added people to my Friends List, now I know! I’m not sure how I missed these features…I’m guessing the application didn’t update properly and when I restored my iPhone yesterday and installed it from scratch, they showed up. Either way, still one of my absolute favorite apps. StreetFlow is available through the AppTapp source.

Sketches 0.7b4

Brooke — Wed, 21 May 2008 03:12:40 +0000

The update to Sketches is slightly surprising. Though, I have a theory on why this is! The update to version 0.7b4 of Sketches actually removes a few options from the application instead of adding them. However, lets start from the beginning. The first change you will see is that Sketches has a new icon…which is the reason I looked for five minutes before Doug finally found the app on my SpringBoard. When you open the application, you will notice that the theme has changed. Instead of the clear or red themes from the previous version you will now be greeted with a brown theme…reminds me of Starbucks! On the main screen, none of the options have changed. You can still email your creation, send it to Twitter, export it to your Photo Album, change the colors, add shapes, take a picture, import an image and so on.

The changes come in the Setup Menu. You no longer have the option to turn on/off Shake to Erase and Vibrate or the ability to change the theme to red. However, you can still shake your iPhone to erase your creation and it will vibrate when you do so. You just no longer have the option to turn these two features off. I have a feeling the change have to do with the AppStore and preparing Sketches to be launched through it. Still a classic application, a must have for every iPhone! Sketches is available through the AppTapp source.

PhoneZap 1.2.4

Brooke — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:12:48 +0000

I do not see any huge visual changes or new features with the update to version 1.2.4 of PhoneZap. However, I did notice on the main PZ page there are a few new options including; Zaps you have commented on and a new Home option. The Lastest Zaps option has been removed. There is also a Important New and Updates link. If selected, you will get a nice little warning about posting inappropriate material and more information about the application which goes through some features that will be implement in the next 24-48 hours and some of the known bugs (see screenshots). I also noticed that when you select a user you now see a list of all the Zaps posted by that user. I’m not sure if that was there before and not enough people had used the application for it to show up or if that is a new feature. I still think this app is glitchy and definitely has a few kicks that need to be worked out. But, everyone loves a networking app. PhoneZap is available through the AppTapp source.

Note: There is a web based version of this application that has a lot more features and is probably a good representation of what the iPhone version of this application will become – phonezap.com

Installer 3.11

Brooke — Mon, 19 May 2008 19:08:34 +0000

The update to Installer version 3.11 adds the search feature to the Uninstall Category. Which I think is great…there have been so many times when it would have been faster to search for an app then trying to find it somewhere in my Uninstall list!

Update (thanks to cool_guy): Version 3.11 also allows you to refresh one source at a time! All you have to do is go into the Sources Category, select the source you would like to refresh and then select Refresh Now!! Very cool guys…props! Check out the screenshots below to see what it looks like.
