EOC Week 6: 9 Apps


The world of phone apps is ever expanding throughout the market. There is just about an app for anything you can think of. Here are three apps that I believe to be great,  Urbanspoon, iShred LE, and -9-Tool Box. Urbanspoon helps with the ever important question, ‘what are we going to eat’. The app suggest restaurants that meet your criteria for type of food, location and cost. Or, if you're completely undecided, just give it a shake and see what comes up. (howstuffworks).  It also links to the phone’s GPS to locate the restaurant for you. Because I am a musician it is always important to get your ideas down when they come to you. Not always easy to do. IShred LE allows you to make music with your iPhone in a realistic way. The app uses actual guitar sound samples and passes them through your choice of eight effects pedals and a simulated amplifier. (howstuffworks) I am definitely getting this one. 9-Tool Box is an all in one app that can actually be helpful in getting stuff done. It includes a currency converter, date calc, Days until, Holidays, two inclinometer, Loan, My Girl’s Day, Tip Calc, Units, and price grab. Now for three not so great apps. Girlfriend caller is an app that allows you to set up one number for speed dial. That’s it. Help Me is an app that allows you to speed dial emergency numbers. I guess 911 is too long. Pour one out is app that allows the user to pour a virtual 40 ounce of beer. Wow. If I were to develop an app it would be one that would link to Avid’s Media Composer to let me know when files are done exporting. That would be sweet.
