ChaCha (Free) by ChaCha Search, Inc.
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I remember playing with an app like this a long time ago… it offered a few free answers provided by human reps and then you had to pay to ask their “experts” anything else. Thankfully ChaCha isn’t that app! But it is basically the same service: ask a question, get an answer from a real person.
ChaCha does require registration after your “trial period” expires (not sure if it’s based on time or number of questions asked), but it’s free to register and it’s free to get answers to all the stupid questions you can come up with.

July 4th – Independence Day
Chrisa | Jul 1, 2009 Entertainment, Reference

This coming Sunday, we will celebrate the third anniversary of my 39th birthday – please, no gifts, unless they come in small blue boxes tied with white ribbon. But more importantly to most, on Saturday we will celebrate the 233rd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
In honor of this occasion, the gang at Core Coders Ltd. have created July 4th – Independence Day, a patriotic little application that entertains and informs us on this most American of holidays.

Fashion Sense
Chrisa | Mar 30, 2009 Lifestyle, Reference

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. So when I got word about Eighteen Twenty Consulting’s Fashion Sense, I thought it might be like having a little Tim Gunn at my fingertips and in my pocket. Yeah…..it’s not.
Q&F: Rhyme
Splash Jackson | Dec 14, 2008 Quick & Free, Reference

ENTER SPLASH JACKSON ONTO THE HIP HOP SCENE:
My name is Splash Jackson and I’ve got a duty,
To tell you all about Rudy’s big booty,
It’s no where near hot or anything of beauty,
But I do like the booty of her sista Judy. Peace.
DISCLAIMER: Splash Jackson solemnly swears to never, EVER try rapping again. Still, with A2rt’s application, Rhyme, you can begin your feeble career as a wannabe rapper. Or, if you consider yourself more a poet or just need some rhyming words, the Rhyme app has you covered!
A simple yet very handy interface allows you to enter in your desired word, and Rhyme pulls up a phonetic list of rhyming words. It doesn’t stop there: Rhyme then does you the service of sorting the words by 1-, 2-, and 3- or more syllables. The developer claims that Rhyme delivers over 50,000 rhyming words, but I spent most the time finding rhymes for “naughty” words (though I had no luck with the word dairy-aire).
Rhyme works in portrait or landscape mode, and regardless of the two-and-a-half stars in iTunes, Rhyme pulls in at about the four-five star level.
