Toogo

Version 1.1

Toogo iPhone App Review 1 Toogo iPhone App Review

I have looked through many (many!) to do lists on the App Store, trying to find a one size fits all app for what I need. I don’t have a problem making my todo list .. I have a problem remembering to pull my list up when I’m near my errands!

Guess what .. there’s now an app for that! Enters Toogo. ..

Developed by Benjamin Nelson, this app is simple and straightforward, but super handy when it comes to reminding you of your daily errands. In a nutshell this app gives you the ability to create location – based to dos .. and then reminds you of your errands when you are near them. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

When you first open the application it defaults to the map screen, which looks similar to an application like Google Maps.

At the top you’ll see Settings, where you can change the map view and even enable the multi-tasking option for the application (when applicable on your device). At the bottom left you’ll see an icon that you will press to find your location (again on applicable devices). In the middle you can toggle between a Map View of your to dos, or a List View. At the bottom right hand side you’ll see the ‘+’ button, which is how you add a new location.

By default your map is empty aside from your current location marking. Pressing the ‘+’ button will take you to the screen where you can add new to do. It asks you for a Name (which will show up on either the list or the map), Location, and a location radius to which you should be notified (either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, or 10 miles).

By clicking the Location button it will default to your current location (if known), however you can either type in an address at the top or you can simply drag the little pin to the location you want it to be at.

(***NOTE .. this part appears to only work when multi-tasking is ENABLED on an iPhone that supports it***)  Now comes the fun part. After giving your to do a name, location, and notification radius it is added to your list. When you are driving along and move within your specified radius a popup will appear and remind you of your errand. How handy is that?!?!

My only concern with this app is that it may be battery draining, since it appears to leave the GPS option on your phone active the entire time, through multi-tasking. However I have not used it long enough to confirm or deny this… but I can note a swifter decrease in battery usage and my phone, when not is use, feels warmer than it did before using this app.

If you have a device that can fully support the ability of this app I’d suggest heading over to the App Store now and grabbing your copy at the bargain price of $0.99. While I am thinking it may use a little more battery than your phone sitting idle it may be a minimal tradeoff to how handy this app can be for your every day errands.

If you’re interested in checking out a demo video, made by the developer, head on over to his website.

Enjoy!

Scanmobile Turns iPhone Camera into Portable Scanner

Scanmobile Turns iPhone Camera into Portable Scanner

Price: $4.99     Score: 9/10     By A. PapachristosScanmobile

Before the creation of the all-in-one printer, easy access to a copier, scanner or fax machine was slim.  When desperate, one would have to run to the nearest office supply store and pay them to do the task for you.  However, having access to such contraptions in your home still does not help when, like most, you are on the move and simply can’t afford to slow down.

But, with Scanmobile by LocBay Ltd, iPhone users will never have to slow down again.  Scanmobile turns your phone’s camera into a quick, convenient and affordable scanner so you can copy and share text and documents everywhere you go.  Plus, the portable scanner now in the palm of your hand employs smart optical transformation technology that turns any picture into a clear, readable document as if you just used an actual scanner or copier.

For anyone who has ever tried to take a picture of text on paper, or perhaps even a board, you know that the camera’s quality distorts the photo, making it grainy, uneven and sometimes hard to read.  Such shabby quality is certainly not something you can pass along to a colleague or anyone of importance for it does not look professional in the slightest.  However, Scanmobile eradicates this problem by cleaning up the digital noise.  Scanmobile will remove any shade or unwanted light that may be detracting from the photo, as well as automatically adjust the document so it looks as if it were indeed laid flat on a scanner.  This, combined with the automatic sharpening of the lines’ texture, brings about the final product: a PDF document that can be sent via email right within Scanmobile itself.

When you startup Scanmobile, you will first need an image.  Users may use the file icon in the bottom left corner to access a pre-existing image, or use the camera icon in the bottom right corner to take a new picture right within the application.  Once you have approved the photo, Scanmobile will load the image and the auto-detection will set preliminary cropping parameters, though these can always be adjusted by hand by the user if they so choose.

To label your new document with a name, use the third icon in from the left in the bottom navigation bar.  Next to that, users will find an icon that lets them return the cropping parameters back to the original suggestion in case they attempt to adjust things on their own and are displeased.

Next to that, users will find another icon, this time allowing for the rotation of the photo before processing.  When rotating, I suggest proceeding slowly because, after multiple attempts at rotating numerous different documents, I found that rotating often led to Scanmobile freezing and then crashing, leaving me to start over.  While this may seem significant, I would hardly consider this flaw to be detrimental to the app’s overall convenience.  Though I’m sure this is bound to be fixed in future updates, as long as you proceed with caution at the moment, you should find you have no problem.  Simply have patience.

After your image has processed, you will see that the results are just what is promised.  Your image will now look like a scanned or copied document, as if you used the real thing.  Even handwritten notes come out looking clearer than the original image, and may even be more vibrant than the actual notepaper itself.  Everything truly looks like a photocopy.  Once you are satisfied, simply save your image you your photo library for future reference, or send it right along as the resulting PDF file via email.

While iPod Touch users can get some use out of Scanmobile by using pre-existing photos of text already saved to their photo library, the application becomes void of all the convenience it has to offer, basically making the investment a waste of money for users of said device.  However, anyone with an iPhone who ever has or ever will need a photocopier or scanner-like apparatus in the palm of their hand at any given moment shouldn’t hesitate to spend the $4.99, for the convenience will pay for itself after one use.

Scanmobile

Scanmobile requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

iDiscrete icon iDiscrete iPhone App Review

iDiscrete ($1.99)

Version – 1.1

Review – “Keep prying eyes away from your important files!”


iDiscrete 1 208x300 iDiscrete iPhone App ReviewWhether you are working with top secret documents, or you just want to keep sales figures or private files safe, iDiscrete is an extremely useful app! The basic idea of iDiscrete is that most people will not even know what it is when they see it. You actually access the app by entering in a code using the hidden buttons on the “loading” screen.


When you open up iDiscrete for the firstiDiscrete 2 208x300 iDiscrete iPhone App Reviewtime it tells you that you should read the tutorial information under the “settings” area of the app. While the information there is good, I didn’t really need most of it to figure the app out myself.


The first thing you’ll want to do when you open the app is set the security settings by touching the “Settings” button in the upper right corner and then touching “Protection Settings.” Once you enable protection you’ll need to set up your “Touch Sequence,” how long the app gives you to enter it and a “Reset Code.”


Once you have set up your security options when you open the app you’ll be greeted by a “Loading” screen. It’s at this screen that you enter in your “Touch Sequence” to open up the actual app. If you don’t enter the sequence in the time limit that you selected you’ll be taken to a screen titled “My Notes.” If for some reason you forget or cannot get your iDiscrete 3 208x300 iDiscrete iPhone App Reviewtouch sequence to work all you have to do to reset your security settings is enter in the “Reset Code” that you have into the text box on this page.


The interface of the app itself is much like other file sharing apps that I have seen in the past. By default you have three different folders: iDiscrete 4 208x300 iDiscrete iPhone App Review“Images,” “Video,” and “Text.” You can modify these folders or add files or folders to the main folder by touching the button in the upper left corner.


Adding pictures and video can be done from the media in your camera roll, or you can also upload media from your computer via a simple web browser interface. You can also upload a variety of different types of documents to the app as well. The app supports all the formats you would expect from PDF and DOC files to just plain text. Unfortunately the only types of documents that you can edit within this app are paling text files.


The speed and ease of use are what really separate iDiscrete from a lot of other apps like it. It’s creative use of a “Loading” screen to log in to the app will also keep a lot of people from even attempting to gain access to this app. It also helps make logging into the app much quicker that other more traditional methods, as you’ll see in the embedded video below.



Whether you have personal reasons for keeping certain things safe on your phone, or you have professional interest in documents that you need to have on you all of the time, iDiscrete is a great solution! That, coupled with the fact that it’s available for just $1.99 will make this app a real must have for a lot of people. So what are you waiting for? Check out iDiscrete today and start protecting your documents!

Project Planner – iPhone App Review

Project Planner icon Project Planner iPhone App Review

Project Planner ($2.99)

Version – 2.4.1

Review – “Create and manage projects directly from your iDevice!”


Project Planner 1 300x200 Project Planner iPhone App ReviewHave you ever wished that there was a way to create and manage your projects directly from your mobile device? Well now you can do just that with Project Planner by Peritum.Net! Not only will Project Planner 2 200x300 Project Planner iPhone App Reviewthis app allow you to manage your projects, it also has features for sharing them through email and wifi with your computer in a variety of different formats as well!


Project Planner loads up very quickly, and you start out looking at a very simple menu. To get started editing/adding projects all you have to do is touch the “Projects” button. On the following screen you’ll see a list of all Project Planner 3 200x300 Project Planner iPhone App Reviewyour current projects. In the bottom left corner of the screen is a “+” button that you can use to add a new project. If you want to delete entries from the project list you can either touch the “Edit” button in the upper right corner, or you can use the “swipe” delete method from the email app.


Something that is immediately evident is the attention to detail in this app. If you are familiar with the Gantt Chart Project Planner 4 200x300 Project Planner iPhone App Reviewmethod of tracking projects you’ll instantly feel at home with the interface of this app! Project entries have everything from the project name and project leader, down to dates and custom calendar settings!


Adding tasks to a project is just as easy! All you have to do is touch one of your projects and then touch the “+” button in the lower left corner of the screen, and enter the task information. You can also edit tasks in the same way as projects by using the “Edit” button, or by swiping to delete as well.


To view a Gantt chart of any projects that you might choose all you have to do is touch the “Gantt Chart” button from the main menu, select the projects to view, and then touch the “Chart” button in the upper right Project Planner 5 200x300 Project Planner iPhone App Reviewcorner of the screen. The chart can be viewed in Day, Week, or Month mode by using the buttons at the top of the screen!


Importing and Exporting files is extremely easy, and this app offers a lot of options for doing so! You can export files via WiFi or through email in PDF, Gantt, or PNG. Importing is done via your computers web browser, and is very simple as well. The only limitation is that imported Gantt files cannot import resources that may be used with your desktop applications.


There are a few other options that can be configured in the “Options” menu. The most notable of these is the ability to secure the app with a “PIN” that must be entered every time you open this app up if you turn it on. You can also use this area of the app to control what exactly is exported when you export as a PDF file, and view information about the developers!


My overall impression of this app is that it may be a little intimidating to someone that is new working with project planners. While the interface will seem almost second nature to someone familiar with Gantt Charts, the little details can get a little confusing. If you do have trouble with anything though, the developers have a full manual available on their website listed below for your reference.


As far as functionality, I didn’t have any problems at all with this app. the load times when working on projects are relatively quick, and it’s easy to quickly view information in a variety of different formats! If project management on the go is a must for you, this app is an absolute steal at just $2.99! So what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store and check out Project Planner today!
