Inspell is adds an additional spell checker to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Once installed, the app is well implemented and very easy to use.
Inspell, it is automatically enabled when you install the app (no icon for this one, it is a code app). You will notice that when you type a misspelled word, a red line is added underneath it. To correct the word, tap on it and then select the Select option on the pop-up. This will highlight the word and give you a new pop-up menu. The menu will include the options Cut, Copy, Paste and Correct. When you tap on correct, you will be given a list of possible corrections for your misspelled word along with the option to add the word to the dictionary (if you add the word to the dictionary, it will not underline it in the future as a misspelled word). In the list, if you see the word you would like to correct your misspelling with, just select it. The word will then be automatically corrected. [Read more…]
SBSettings Update

Available In: Cydia | |
Price: Free |
SBSettings has been updated a few times since last night. The 3.0.2 update fixes the Free Memory feature that apparently was not working due to a copying error when packaging the file (and I thought I was crazy this whole time!). I did test this and it does work now. The 3.0.2 update also makes the app a little harder to open. This is implemented to help from accidental opening of SBSettings. You now need to swipe at least 50 pixels in order to open the app. I personally liked this change however, it seems that not everyone was as thrilled about it as I was so SBSettings was updated to version 3.0.3.

RedLaser – Scan Barcodes and Get Realtime Prices

Available In: Cydia | |
Price: Free |
RedLaser is an application that scans the barcode of a product and then searches for that product and it’s prices.
When you open the app, you can begin by scanning an item. To do so just select the lighting icon on the lower menu bar which will open a screen where you can scan the barcode. You will need to line up the edges of the bar code within the arrows… the bar code needs to be upright. Once the edges are lined up, the arrows will turn green. Hold it still a split second longer (after the arrows are green) and it will automatically scan the barcode. It can be a little tricky at first but, after a few tries you will have it down. You can also manually take a picture of the bar code using the Camera button. [Read more…]

GPower is an application that allows you to Power Off, Reboot and Respring your iPhone or iPod Touch all from your main Power Off screen. When you hold down the Power Button on the top of your device, instead of just getting a Slide To Power Off slide, you will get two additional Slides; Slide to Reboot and Slide to Respring.
This is nice for those times when you have no option but to hold down the Power button. Now, instead of only being able to power your device off, you can chose to just restart it or reboot it. [Read more…]

Price: Free |
Lockdown, is an application that allows you to password protect other applications (stock, App Store and jailbroke) on your iPhone or iPod Touch. I haven’t done a review of this Lockdown since it was first released. However, I received an email saying that it has been updated and is now working with the 3.0 firmware (which it is).
The UI of the app has changed a little since my first review of the app but, other than that…it is basically the same. You are able to password protect stock, App Store and jailbroke apps that are on your device. A few of the new features I noticed is a Locked Apps option which allows you to quickly view all the apps that are locked, instead of having to scroll through the list of them to find which ones are locked.

The update to version 1.5 of FontSwap does a few things.
