Our Review:

Many photographers, both professional, and hobbyists, have been known to participate in a popular photo project called project 365. Shooting for project 365 consists of taking one picture every day for a year. The idea is that at the end of the year, you will have a gallery of photos to reflect on the things that year that matter most, and to remind you all the things you did. Many people post their 365 projects on photo sharing sites like Flickr, and there are many apps out there to help organize photos, share them with friends, as well as remind you to take your daily photo. The iPhone app Project 365 is one of these that harnesses the power of the iPhone to make it conveinent to keep up with your photo project.

When you start Project 365, your first impression might be that you have the wrong app. Project 365 looks more like a calendar than a photo app. The calendar looks very bare at first, but as you populate the days, the calendar becomes a great tool for browsing the months in picture. To add a photo, or view a photo, you tap on a day. From the there you can add a photo or add a caption. Project 365 also has the option to email a photo, or upload to Facebook or Twitter. Most people who attempt project 365 add their photos in batches to save time, so photos can be added in any order you want. Picture can be replaced if you place your picture in the wrong day but you can not delete a photo without replacing it with another one.

While you cetainly don't need an app like project 365 to complete a project like this, it certainly makes it easier to organize your project and can help motivate you to continue taking photos every day. The developer's site also has an email reminder feature so you wont forget to take a picture. I think this app can be useful for some, but I also feel that it lacks some basic features like deleting a picture without replacing it, and being able to move a picture back to the iPhone library. The app is free, so give it a try and see if it might do the trick for you.

Developer's Notes

Quick Take

Value: Medium

Would I Buy Again: Maybe

Learning Curve: Easy

Who Is It For: Photographers

What I Like: Nice layout of photos by day.

What I Don't: Can't move or delete photos once they are placed.

Final Statement: For a free tool it isn't horrible, but it needs a little improvement to really take off.

Our Review:

Have you heard about Netflix streamed movie rentals?  Well, if not, you will soon.  When you want to rent a movie, do you trudge to the movie store, hope they have what you want and then trudge back home disappointed?  Or, do you wait for your movie to come in the mail and then you have to remember to send it back?  Well, the old-fashioned way of renting movies is a thing of the past.   Welcome to streaming - the new way of viewing movies.
 
Netflix, which can be accessed through your computer, will allow you to stream movies, concerts and TV shows right to your TV from the Internet using a special device.  There are several devices which you can choose from but right now, we’ll talk about one - Roku.  The Roku device, once hooked up to your TV, will allow you to stream movies from Netflix..  So, you ask, what does this have to do with the iPhone?  Here goes.  An App called DVPRemote by Phil Irey allows you to control your Roku box right from your phone  - very cool.
 
Here’s how DVPRemote works.  Open the App and it looks for a Roku box on your network.  When it finds the device you can then label where the device is located (i.e., living room, bedroom, etc.) and then you’re finished.  All the functions of the Roku device can now be controlled by your iPhone.  That’s all there is to it.  You can start, stop, and scroll through the Netflix menu using your iPhone.  It’s a great App and it's available in the App Store for .99

Developer's Notes

Quick Take

Value: very good

Would I Buy Again: yes

Learning Curve: easy

Who Is It For: anyone who owns a roku device

What I Like: having a remote always with me

Final Statement: its great to be able to control your roku device with your iphone

Our Review:

Offender Locator LiteI'm honestly not sure what to make of Offender Locator.  On one hand, it would be nice to know if sex offenders are in the neighborhood so you could avoid them.  On the other hand, this is just begging for an incident of vigilante justice.

The Lite version of the application is limited to viewing 3 offenders in the area and to 3 searches per day.  To see more, you have to splurge $.99 on the full version.  I can see why this is a popular paid app.  I can think of lots of mothers who would pay $.99 to know where to never take her children.

The app itself is pretty simple.  The user can either enter an address manually, use his or her current address via GPS or WiFi or use an address from his/her contacts.  Once entered, the application finds all sex offenders in that vicinity.  It will also show you their location on a map.

This application could not possibly be legal.  Despite being ex-cons, don't these people have rights or at least some sort of right to privacy?  I can understand if the list is available by going to the police station, but having it readily available on the Internet crosses a line.

I'm not sure what to think of the content of this app, but as an application it's pretty straight-forward and simple to use.  Admittedly, it can be useful and if I were a parent I'd want this app.  I just hope no tragedies come of it.

Pros: Simple to use.  Very useful.  Inexpensive.

Cons: Questionable morality.

Developer's Notes:

**All issues with System 3.0 solved. **
** Improved images and louder sounds.**

**Top 20 App in Italy and UK!**
** TODDLER LEARNING COLORS. Easy and fun way to teach colors to Toddlers. Chuck the bird wizard will help him/her learn ten basic colors.**

Toddler Tapping Zoo will expand the horizons of infants and toddlers through eye-catching images and amusing sounds of animals.

Toddlers learn to distinguish sounds, associate sounds with images and fine-tune their motor skills. But most of all, they have a great time.

Read together while spending quality time or use them in an" emergency "to keep them entertained at a restaurant or check-out line.

Unlike other apps that feature more animals (Izoo), our tapping zoo consists of a smaller but carefully selected list of animals. Bigger is not always better. We have made sure that both the images and sounds can be easily recognized as different by toddlers. Donkeys are very nice, but it can confusing for younger toddlers to tell them apart from horses. Tigers are beautiful, but their roar is too similar to that of the lions.

Our application uses the whole screen of the ipod/iphone and allows for simple sequential navigation.

Toddlers love repetition too. Seeing the same animals over and over helps them learn and allows they to reencounter them often which for them is hilarious. (We know it can be frustrating as a parent, but they love it).

The Toddler Tapping Zoo contains images and sounds of the following animals:

dog
cat
cow
horse
pig
sheep
rooster
parrot
owl
duck
lion
elephant
monkey
bear
orca
dolphin
mouse
snake
frog

If your kid likes Wheels on the Bus app he/she will surely love our Zoo. Better than Toddler Flashcards: we have sound a a better interface!
