iPhone apps S/D

ok?

whats going on????????

why i luv instapaper: "read later" bookmark which converts any webpage into an offline, text-only version. it will do this for RSS feeds too. LUV.

Bought Instapaper and love it. Excellent for subway reading without an internet connection, it keeps me from distracting myself and reading the articles at work instead, and it's really good at its job - especially considering the iphone's bookmarking is so crappy and rudimentary. I don't know how it manages to parse out sidebar content and keep it away from the main article. Definitely try out the free version, and if you like it, buy the full version.

I tried Evernote and wasn't too impressed by it; I'd prefer a straight up to-do list. I may try Things very soon.

I'm still playing Peggle. It may have the most replay value of any iPhone game.

i basicallyt 100%ed it :/

I've beat all the challenges and the adventure mode. Going through and 100%'ing all the levels now. I'll do it, just a matter of time. Some are so annoying. There needs to be a sequel. C'mon Pop Crack, make it.

i actually didnt 100 every level... but i may one day :(

I'm addicted to iBlast Moki. Fun stuff.

anyone try Rock Band yet?

I'm not a big fan of the rhythm games on the iPhone. It's one of the areas that I think suffer from the lack of haptic feedback. I also don't like the games that you have a little joystick on the screen. My fat thumbs cover up too much of the screen.

iPhone games I have been addicted to at one point or another:

Aurora Feint
Blocked
Defender Chronicles - Legend of the Desert King
Elemental Monster TD
Field Runners
Flight Control
Geo Defense
Geo Defense Swarm
Harbor Master
I Dig It
Motion X Poker
Motion X Poker Quest
Paper Toss
Paper Toss World Tour
Peggle
Sentinel Mars Defense
Star Defense
Tap Defense
The Treasures of Montezuma

This is pretty good for the UK

Totally my favourite iPhone game ever.

Big Two is a fun card game

Totally my favourite iPhone game ever.

Pity it spams your Twitter feed, though.

*stares meaningfully*

Hahahahahaha, you have to choose to Tweet your score, which I didn't realise initially - the way I play mean that I was tapping right where that button arrives and so spammed myself unwittingly a few times at the start. Now I only Tweet good scores!

i would like to download ILX on iPHONE why because it look intersting
Zing Touch: ILX now ON IPHONE (and ipod tooches too)

woooooo

this is why i bought an iphone

that is awesome

8 bucks!?!?

kidding

If anyone didn't know, there's an updated html parser for Instapaper that's well worth activating (I think you have to do it in your account settings- at least you did when it started).

On a side note, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock a phone without jailbreaking? I've unlocked and jailbroken my 2G, and I'd like to unlock my 3GS but am a little scared, and don't have a need to jailbreak.

holy shit this rules stet!

so i caved and bought the baby cry translator. so far ive gotten 'bored' and 'sleepy' which i could have guessed. im waiting for angry since every time he cries i run over to get my iphone instead of actually comforting him.

so did anyone get rick rolled on their iphone?

anyone else having trouble organizing songs on playlists on the iphone?

i have a "recently-added" smart playlist thats organized by date added in my itunes--but on my iphone its organized by something bizarre. play count maybe?

HMM. i have the same type of playlist synced up and the iphone displays it by date added.

Smart playlists basically don't work right ON IPHONE.

How so? I've had no trouble with mine.

Mine see the weird ordering max has, and they won't update live. If you add, listen to or rate a song on the phone, the playlists they should be in don't update.

you guys manually syncing the music on your iphones?

I've been using auto but changed to manual today. will see if it makes a difference

Smart playlists basically don't work right ON IPHONE.

Smart playlists work fine on the iPhone, but there's some non-intuitive changes you have to make because of how iTunes 9.x separates out media types. Add "Playlist - is - Music" as the final rule to your smart playlist and it will sort correctly.

that worked beautifully chris--thank you

ding!

Hooray!

This is totally dorky, but scanner911 is rocking my world. YOU CAN HEAR THE POLICE RADIO IN DOZENS OF CITIES.

is there an app that will just let me doodle - looking for something that'll save my scrawls/handwriting

so did anyone get rick rolled on their iphone?

I have the rick roll app, but it sucks because it only plays the first 15 seconds of the song, and not even the good part(s)!

I have DoodleBuddy for doodling.

OK, top apps so far;

Lent - 59p, take a photo, link it to a contact, and keep track of what DVDs etc you've lent to friends. Just got it but hopefully will prove indispensable as I always forget.

Decibel - 59p, measures volume, surprising how many times it's come in useful at work (library refurbs, IT projects, etc).

Diceshaker - free, choose how many dice of what denominations, shake to roll. No graphics of dice rolling but good sound, and useful when you've got cats who try and steal your dice.

Worms - £1.99 or something; awesome fun game.

Canabalt - £1.79, wicked game, most fun I've had with an iPhone game.

Bloom - £2.99, that Eno ambient generator thing. Pretty but pointless. Same for Trope, which is the same but with different image / sound sets.

Shopper - 59p I think, really useful customisable shopping list maker. Can share lists across iPhones.

Done - 59p, to-do list manager, really customisable, nice interface.

Allowance - free, keeps track of your O2 contract details, calls & texts left etc. Nicer display than the My O2 app.

Zing - obviously.

Wow, I did ten without planning to do so.

Spend - 59p

Enter expenses, it shows you how much of yr budget you have left. v v easy to use. You may not care about such things.

What colour's the icon?

This is important.

lol... green! you've got room!

Not any more! Need new pictures.

I have downloaded free apps I didn't want to fill the page though, so can easily delete stuff...

Ocado, for instance, don't even deliver round here.

really wish apple would hurry up and make a premium app store already; 100000 apps is too goddam much
