Comet – Watch Comets Fly Across Your SpringBoard

School Bus

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

WinterBoard School Bus is just a fun little application that displays a school bus driving across your SpingBoard. It is displayed in the space where your forth row of icons would be so, you will want to have moved those in order to see the app correctly (see screenshots below). The bus then slowly moves across your SpringBoard from right to left. Once it goes off the left side of the page, it just starts over again. I did not have any issues with the app affecting the SpringBoard functionality. When you install the app, it is added to WinterBoard where it can be activated/deactivated.

Banner Deluxe – Create Scrolling Banners

Available In: App Store       Price: $2.99  

Banner Deluxe I will be honest, when I read the title of this application I said to myself…Here we go, another “toy” application that probably has a bad design and a horrible user interface. However, I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I opened the application! Banner Deluxe is an application that allows you to create scrolling banners for your iPhone or iPod Touch.

The first thing I noticed about the application was that it was well designed and had quite a few nice features. As I began testing the application, I also found the user interface to be very smooth and easy to use. The application opens to the Settings Menu in which there is a lower menu bar with the options; Text, Theme, Backdrop, Font, Text Texture and Option. In the Text option, you are able to enter the message that you would like to scroll or choose from the list of previously entered messages. To enter a message, just tap on the text bar. You can also add symbols to your message by selecting the smiley icon in the upper right corner, once you have tapped in the text bar. Once you have entered your message, you can get back to the Settings Menu by selecting Return. [Read more…]

The Background option allows you to choose a background for your drawing. You can choose a solid color, a photo out of your Photo Albums or you can take a picture. The only issue I have with this option is that once you have selected a background, there is no way to delete it. You can change the background if you have chosen a color background but you cannot erase the background and if you set a photo as the background or taken a photo for the background you can neither change it nor erase it. You have to close the application and reopen it to start over. [Read more…]
