PhoneZap 1.5

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

It seems the PhoneZap, a photo sharing/networking application, has made it’s way into Cydia for firmware 2.0. PhoneZap is also going to be available via Installer and the AppStore in the coming days. It application itself functions much the same as the previous version however, it does not have the Ringtones option (though they say this will be added in the next week or so). The Post and Preferences options are basically the same as in the previous version. The Messages option has changed a little and is now divided into Messages and Comments…which makes it a lot neater. I also noticed that you can now view images based on Countries, which was not an option the last time I did a reivew of this application. Other than that, the app is very similar to the 1.1.4 and below version of the application. The only issue I am having with the application is that is seems to be crashing quite a bit! Screenshots are below!

iSlsk 0.31

Version 0.3.1 of iSlsk fixes a bug a few people were experiencing with version 0.3 of the application. It seems that some people were having a problem with the music freezing while it was importing and therefore never completing the download. I did not have this issue with the previous version so, I cannot tell you for sure that it is fixed. Let me know in the comments if you were experiencing freezing and if the update fixed it for you. You can get iSlsk via the BigBoss source.

iSlsk 0.3

The update to version 0.3 of iSlsk, a file sharing application, adds quite a few changes to the application. Some of the visual changes include an updated icon, a What’s New option on the lower menu bar giving you more information about the application and spinner wheel in the status bar that indicates activity while searching for files. Below is a list of the rest of the changes in version 0.3. You can get iSlsk through the BigBoss source.

Note: Be sure to read all information regarding the use of this application before using.

Version 0.3 Change Log:
• The long-awaited alphabetical sorting bug fix. No more artist/song/album crazy-letter-jump in your music player, and if you currently have it all messed up, it will be fixed automatically the next time you import a song.
• Fixed major problems when trying to import a song with no tag information (blank title, artist and/or album)

    • Automatic backup/restore of your music database -just in case iSlsk import doesn’t work as expected (no, your music files doesn’t get copied twice, only the database file)
    • “Already donated” button, to enable anyone who donated to get rid of of that annoying message
    • Automatic update message alert to tell the user when a new version is available
    • Improved thread synchronization for better stability. In other words, much less random crashes!
    • Other minor bugfixes

BeenThere 0.12

I only notice two visual change in the update to version 0.12 of BeenThere. On the main menu page, the options have been reordered. The Picture option if now first followed by the Title, Message, Tags and GeoLoc. I think this makes a lot more sense. They have also added a BeenThere! option in the upper left corner. If selected, it will bring you directly to the BeenThere website. A very smart implimentation! BeenThere is avialable through the Trivalware source.

Twitxr 0.6

The only visual change that I see with the update to version 0.6 of Twitxr is that in the preferences you can now Create a New User. When you create a new user, it will sign you out of your current login. It would be cool if it listed both of them and you could just choose the user you wanted. Other than that, the app seems to function the same as in previous versions. Twitxr is available through the BigBoss 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.
