Santa’s Christmas greeting cards free (free) by pickZy
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I’ll just come out and say it: don’t waste your time with this “greeting card” app. And if the paid version is as incompetent as the “free” version which won’t let you email your Christmas cards unless you pay, don’t waste your time with that one either.
I normally don’t go out of my way to slam apps that stink; in fact, I usually don’t even bother reviewing them at all. But I’m kind of offended that I wasted 5 minutes of my life in finding out that (a) upgrading is required to get any use out of this app at all, and (b) the handling of images and decorative elements is so horrendously bad that trying to make a decent greeting card at all is more or less an exercise in futility. I’m going to repeat that for the developer: the handling of images and decorative elements is horrendously bad. No resize, no rotate. There are photo frames but you can’t stick a photo in them. Ugh.
The one thing this greeting card app does right is that it tells you right from the start that upgrading is required to send anything… and that’s your cue to delete it!
If you want to send Christmas cards from your iPhone or iPad, use Christmas C@rds.

Wake Smarter – The Voice Controlled Alarm Clock App ($2.99) by Crop Duster Media
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
If you’ve got a case of Siri Envy because you’re too cheap to upgrade to an iPhone 4S, Wake Smarter might make you feel just a tiny bit better about setting your alarm when you go to bed. I’ve seen prettier alarm clocks out there but, in terms of features, Wake Smarter is probably the fanciest alarm clock you’ll ever meet!
The most obvious thing that’s different about this alarm clock is the Siri-like voice control option, but it’s also packed full of alarm options that range from funny to useful to just plain weird… unless you think it’s somehow normal to wake up to Facebook status updates.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies by Activision Publishing, Inc ($7.49)
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
The Call of duty franchise is one that creates excitement towards the end of each year. This was always true for console gamers, but now the same can be said for us Apple enthusiasts. The second zombie title released exclusively for the ios, Black ops zombies takes a section of the console version and delivers an enjoyable multiplayer experience. The game isn’t without its flaws, though the entertainment value cannot be denied.

Snow Fight (Free) by Sauce Digital
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I didn’t realize it when I pulled this app out of the review queue, but I reviewed a game called Nano Rally from this very same company a couple years ago and it was good! Snow Fight is good, too, but its major limitation is that you only get 7 levels to play and then you have to buy the rest. Bummer.
Snow Fight is a Capture the Flag game where your mission is to take out all the other little punks in the field of play by bombarding them with icy snowballs of fury and ultimately make it to their flag. You can send your troop(s) into the field by drawing a line they’ll follow and, with some well-timed taps, you can launch your ammo at the enemy along the way.

Festive Dash (free) by Bell Pottinger Digital
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
Frosty the Snowman likes to jump. So do elves… the Santa kind, not the Lord of the Rings kind. And apparently penguins like to jump, too! So here they are in Festive Dash, all jumping together as they slide through a little obstacle course. Your job is to make them all jump at the appropriate times to avoid the rocks, bushes, and hurdles that get in their way.
It’s a dead simple game that might keep your kids busy long enough for you to bake some cookies, hang some lights, or maybe just sneak off to the garage and cry! The gameplay is nothing special but it’s one of those holiday freebies that competent and festive enough to warrant downloading so you can hand it to the young ones.

TextCrafter ($2.99) by Mysk
Available on iPhone & iPod Touch
We all know at least one person (if not ourselves) who loves posting updates to their Twitter and Facebook accounts. How would you feel if you could do this at each time Via one application? Well, today I bring to you TextCrafter. It’s kind of a 3-in-1 type of deal. It has the same idea that the basic “Notes” app does, but has many more features. The features included in this app are sharing your text to FaceBook and Twitter as I already mentioned, e-mail, or send it to someone through iMessage, changing font size, hundreds of special characters, and adding your location.

Perfect Pitch Piano ($0.99) by Brad Jasper
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I can’t sing, I can’t dance, and I definitely can’t play piano! My mom never made me take lessons. I think she was afraid the piano teacher would wind up choking the shit out of me which would have been a valid concern given my complete lack of musical talent. But for some reason I’ve always wanted to at least try the piano, and Perfect Pitch Piano is that chance.
This app seems like it was made for complete beginners like me, and it takes kind of a tough love approach to trying to force you to listen to the keys before caving in and actually showing them to you. And, like the piano teacher I never had, it also freaks out occasionally.

GoodReader for iPhone ($4.99) by Good.iWare
Available on iPhone and iPad
I was so much more productive at work when I had my Blackberry Bold 9700. Unfortunately, my Blackberry meet its demise the day that I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. After much badgering from my friends, wife and co-workers, I decided to take the plunge and officially joined the Steve Jobs/Apple cult by purchasing an iPhone 4. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my iPhone! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be volunteering my free time to write pro bono reviews. The thing is, I like the damn thing too much! The app store is a gamers paradise with thousands of games being introduced every week and probably half of them are free. Throw in a retina display and a plenty powerful Apple A4 chip running the thing and you have a well-qualified gaming device. Gaming on my blackberry, on the other hand, was a joke: think black-and-white Pong and you aren’t too far off.
So, despite the fact that my law firm bought me the iPhone, I have rarely used it in any capacity other than playing games and the occasional phone call or email. Then enter GoodReader! This app has honestly transformed my iPhone into what I am sure my employer wanted it to be. So what is GoodReader? Well, I am glad you asked.

The Sims Medieval ($4.99) by Electronic Arts
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I’ve wasted a shocking amount of time playing The Sims 3 on my iPhone which is weird because, after a while, that game got really repetitive and annoying! Yet I still played. I dunno what it is about The Sims that makes it so addictive, but it just is. Or maybe it’s just addictive to losers like me who have no friends? Wait, that actually makes a lot of sense…
The Sims Medieval is just as shiny and addictive as its predecessor, and thankfully EA has done away with some of the things from Sims 3 that I hated most, specifically their tedius little “mini games” such as cooking food and fixing appliances. This Medieval version, which was released a couple months ago, introduces a bunch of new elements in a Middle Earth-ish setting… most notably, sword fights! It’s actually not as exciting as it sounds, but it’s definitely a departure from running around and slapping people in the face.

Pest Fest ($0.99) by Mindblock
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I hate mosquitoes. I really do hate them a lot. They are nasty and carry diseases like malaria . Did you know that more soldiers were killed by… Okay I’m getting off point. This game is a lot of fun and the graphics are fantastic.
The idea is simple: KILL KILL KILL those mosquitoes before they either drain your significant other of all their blood or you accidentally wake up your sleeping partner by hitting them. There are different types of mosquitoes in the game, just like there are in real life. An old one, a fast one, a crazy one and a super strong one. Each with their own physics. There are also moths that enter the killing zone that, if killed, take away points. I don’t really like moths either, but you can’t kill them if you’re trying for a top score. You get more points for combos and speed kills so wait till the pests cross paths.
There are two different game modes and they are pretty much the same except one lets you rest a bit between rounds and one has “power ups.” There is a lot of customization which you would not think would be on such a simple game. Also all the instructions are visual, but it’s pretty easy to figure out without them. Just kill those darn pests. ENJOY.
