As I sat in an Italian restaurant eating some fettuccine alfredo, I silently tapped on my iPhone. Within seconds, I had donated help to the Red Cross for the Haiti relief. How did I do it? I was using the ShopKick app called Cause World.
Cause World is similar to apps like My Town and Four [...]

 
 
Everyone dreams every night – you know that, right?  But remembering your dreams is another story.  Most everyone has had the dream where you show up to school totally naked, and most everyone I knew in college had the dream where you show up to take a final and realize you hadn’t attended class all [...]

 
 
Ah, to be young and full of hope.  I remember being like that, before I got cynical and exhausted.
But three young college grads in Michigan are still hopeful, and they’ve created DoGood, their first iPhone app under their collective moniker of Mobil33t LLC.  Now, normally on a free app, I’d give you a few sentences [...]

I love Tim Gunn.  I mean it.  I have an unnatural facination with him.  I don’t stalk him, or anything, but I do have a picture of him as my wallpaper (in my defense, it’s a picture I took at the Oscars), and I am addicted to Project Runway and Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style.   [...]

Buzzillions Mobile from Power Reviews Inc has made the  leap to the iPhone and I definitely like it.  This app allows you to enter in keywords pertaining to a retail item and returns reviews to help you decide whether to lay down the jack for that fancy new brickabrack.  It’s not perfect of course as reviews are culled [...]

It doesn’t snow where I live but hey now I can have snow anytime I want!  Snowflakes from Peerium Inc allows you to enjoy watching snow fall on your iPhone until you are awash in joy.  Tap once to create a snowflake, drag to create a stream of them then tilt to change the point [...]

All those little sand gardens you see in cubicle farms the world over are a thing of the past, thanks to the magic of the iPhone! Well, sort of.   Zen Garden from Peerium Inc allows you to get metaphysical in the sand with the best of them.  You can draw with a finger, swipe with [...]
