iPhone apps S/D

Gah bought Orbital based on recommandations here and spent 2hrs playing it yesterday instead of sleeping. Too tired to do anything because of that!

OK Orbital is far too addictive, I can't seem to stop playing the supernova mode. What kind of scores are you guys getting (and also how many orbs in one shot?)? I seem to recall a thread where people were talking about their high scores but apparently it's not this one?

Tracer owns everyone on that game. I got close-ish to him (541 high score, 121 best shot) but I'm too impatient/jerky.

btw this game runs about a bazillion times faster on iPhone 4

Wow, ok, that is impressive. My problem with this game is that I get a bit negligent and accidentally touch the screen and shoot when I don't want to.

there's a cream for that iirc

but it'll get my iphone all dirty and wet and... oh wait.

HI DERE you are hot on my heels - my high score is 587. (Making me the 634th ranked supernova player in the world.)

To be fair I think I got pretty lucky. Most of my games hover around 100. The top players all get over 2000 which I just can't even comprehend.

can someone explain orbital gravity mode to me i do not fucking understand what i'm supposed to be trying to do

it's just the same as regular, but the orbs have gravity that attract yr shots. the bigger the orb, the stronger the gravity.

i tried playing game for 2 seconds on train last night and didn't understand it one bit.

I'm glad Drop7 is working though.

well because i'm using the free app i only have gravity mode so maybe i need a more basic explanation--why do some orbs get huge and others stay tiny; what should i be aiming for, etc.

orbs grow until they touch a boundary, being either the wall or another orb

my high score in supernova is 497 and my highest combo is 11x iirc

gravity and normal modes are useless - supernova is what the game is

but if i shoot an orb at the wall it often just bounces off and gets enormous?

they start growing after they come to a rest so if you land an orb next to the wall it will be small but if you bounce it off into the open it will be big

for lols try aiming straight ahead with your first shot

My high score is like 39, and I've been playing this since it was just a flash game called "Gimme Friction." I must be playing it wrong.

Gravity mode is my fav.

I've gotten every goddamn star in Angry Birds, though.

i am so so bad at Angry Birds. have not finished the free version.

Xp to dyao-perfect, thanks!

OS 4 changes TuneIn radio and Spotify from nice-but-pita into awesome

okay, i've got an iphone 4 in the mail.

it's gonna be here in a few days.

i have about fifteen bucks to spend on apps, but i'd rather get free ones.

what should I get? already i have:

1) katamari
2) lose it
3) skype
4) google talk
5) facebook

Snappier...

installed iOS 4.0 last week and now as of last night all my apps are crashing on load, feel like i'm one day closer to throwing this thing in a lake and buying a jitterbug

try resynching the phone with itunes, i had the same problem.

oh ok i thought i was gonna get to enjoy my life for a while this afternoon but nope looks like i have an appointment with my itunes, instead

jitterbug dreams

my 3G has been running OK with iOS 4.0, but I notice a lot of apps are really slow when they first launch - sometimes totally unresponsive (Safari does this, actually). it's fairly annoying. I am thinking pretty seriously about a droid x at this point.

not because of the OS not working on my 3G, but just apple's b.s. in general.

My latest issue is that if I sync my phone at all, all the podcasts lose their timing information, so that if I stop them, I have to start at the beginning again. Re-downloading them from the phone fixes this. 4.0.1 MIGHT have fixed this bug too.

Byline is messing up hardcore for me these days. If I have, say, 60 posts to pull in and cache, it will shut down the app at least four times guaranteed (requiring me to restart) before successfully caching everything. Also you can't really read the posts until it finishes caching or it takes really long time to open the next one and/or gets confused and shuts down.

Is there an app to help two or more people to find each other via real time coordinates? This would be great, rather than talking and giving poor directions and bumping into each other.

Google Latitude?

foursquare/gowalla?

i tried to write something like this to let friends find one another in big clubs/gigs, but the GPS is too crap indoors to make it work

Finger Physics is the first iPhone game I am actually addicted to.

Also Moodagent seems pretty good. it doesn't exactly do what it promises, but is a nice alternative to Genius and shuffle. Now make an app that boosts my itunes volume PLEASE

i still have no idea how multitasking works on the iphone. basically it just lets every open app sit in that multitasking area. i still open twitter and it hasn't been updated for days. thinking about HTC phone a lot.

btw u guys have u played eliss? it's dope

xpost, having upgraded from the 3G, the 4G is so much faster that I've forgotten about multitasking.

i was wondering about this too the other day. it seems like it's only really multitasking for things that can operate without being in the forefront, like apps that playing music. otherwise, it's just a list of things i've used recently, email, phone, games, etc. kinda useless.

The only things that can multitask are apps that play music, apps that do location stuff, voip apps and apps that need extra time to complete something (like an upload). Everything else is just fast-switching: the app is frozen when it goes into the background and then melted when its resumed.

The switch bar doesn't show what apps are running, it shows all the apps you've recently used, in the order you've used them.
