The theme in this week’s untested free junk is FUN! Wait, using your iPhone to find your car in a concert parking lot is fun, right? Sure, why not! Lalalalalala

California Gold Rush Free by Digital Chocolate: 4,200 people can’t be wrong! With an average rating of 4 stars this lite game release looks pretty worthwhile

Last.fm by Last.fm: Screw Pandora!

Lightsaber Unleashed by TheMacBox: Your Star Wars Geek License will be revoked if you openly lust over Princess Leia but don’t have this app installed. Heck, even I’ve tried it already and I thought Episodes I, II, and III all sucked ass

FingerPiano Lite by Junpei Wada: Now even talentless jackasses like me can play the piano with this teaching keyboard

Fast & Furious The Game Test Drive by I-play: If you don’t at least try the free version of Fast & Furious, Paul Walker will personally come to your house and slap you across the face with his little girly-hands

Take Me To My Car by Eldar Sadikov: If you drive to a huge outdoor concert this summer without this app on your phone, you’re just asking to get hopelessly lost

Another round of untested free stuff hunted down by Eric! This one is a little heavier on corporate names than in the past but hey, you gotta eat and it usually helps to have a job.

RunKeeper Free by FitnessKeeper: Eric recently ran a marathon so I’m not surprised to see this app included! This app uses GPS to track your distance, path, etc. and is ad supported. Hate ads? Pay $9.99 for the non-free version.

Jobs by Careerbuilder.com: Get a job, iPhones ain’t free!

Whole Foods Market Recipes by Whole Foods Market: I prefer frozen burritos but if I ever decide to make something natural & organic I’ll be all over this one

Wild West Pinball by OOO Gameprom: To quote from this app’s App Store page: JUST PINBALL EVER

Stoneloops! of Jurassica Lite by PlayCreek: Swain loves this game!

AP Mobile by The Associated Press: Stay current with what’s happening in the world or be forever mocked by your friends, assuming you have some

Q&F: Free Stuff App

You know those annoying pop-up ads that you had to get a pop-up blocker to eliminate, and those stupid quizzes that make you say “no” to a zillion free offers for magazines and tanning cream before you can get to the quiz?

Well some bozo put them all into an iPhone application called Free Stuff App. 

If you like being bombarded with this kind of crap, great – this is the app for you.  If you’re like the other 99.999% of us, stay away; stay FAR away. 

I can’t believe I’ve wasted this much time reviewing this.

Well it’s been two months since the last time my friend Eric the Crackhead sent me his random list of untested but potentially worthwhile free apps, but he’s back at it so here they are!

A couple are pretty obvious picks that a lot of you have probably tried or might already be using daily, but I think there’s still some good junk for you to discover in this round.

Excuse Generator by Kevin Umsted: A bag of random B.S. to fling at those who try to make you do stuff you don’t feel like doing

Lemonade Tycoon by Electronic Arts: I’ve heard of this developer… they’re pretty good! Run a virtual lemonade stand and build your own little sidewalk empire

Love Art: National Gallery, London by Antenna Audio Inc: Pretend to be cultured and sophisticated with this collection of 250 works of art that includes audio, video, and galleries

Bloomberg by Bloomberg LP: Pretend you have money or at least know something about it with news, stock quotes, price charts, market trend analyses, and lots of other stuff that chicks are impressed by

DigiDrummer Lite by Magnus Larsson: If nobody would ever buy that you know stocks and art, how about convincing them that you’re a drummer in a band… an iPhone band! Yeah, that seems much more likely. The full version is currently on sale for $.99

GasBag by jamcode LLC: Don’t spend $3 in gas while you drive around looking to save $2 at the pump! Use this app and contribute to the database of local gas prices

My idiot friend Eric has nothing better to do with his time than scour the iTunes App Store for free junk! He’s too lazy to give any opinions on these apps, but at least he’s nice enough to send me screenshots.

If you like (or hate) this post, please say so in the comments. Depending on the public reaction I’ll either continue to allow Eric to litter my inbox with his non-recommendations or I’ll tell him to shove it!

Documents Free (Mobile Office Suite) by Savy Soda: Allows you to edit and manage spreadsheet and text files

Fandango by Fandango: Browse movie listings and buy tickets
