The Jerky Boys Prank Caller is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
The Jerky Boys have sold millions of records, winning best comedy album at NARM for two consecutive years, also Grammy nominated. Johnny’s beloved character voices have even made their way onto Fox TV’s smash hit “FAMILY GUY.”
Back in October 2009, Johnny Brennan Creator of The Jerky Boys, paired up with Tampa developer Inner Four Inc (creator of over 300 iPhone and iPod Touch apps for sale in the Apple iTunes App store), in order to bring Johnny’s vision of the ultimate prankster app to fruition.
“As a long-time fan of The Jerky Boys, I’ve absolutely loved working with Johnny Brennan and Marshall Berle on this project. We think the never before heard calls alone are worth a lot more than the price of this app!” says Inner Four’s CEO, David Rajala.
EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: ALL-NEW RECORDINGS AND NEVER BEFORE HEARD CALLS
The Jerky Boys Prank app is an expansive collection of Jerkyisms and clips, free Jerky Ringtones, never before heard calls, and even a prank calling machine. Yes, a fake inbound calling machine. Imagine picking which character you want to use for the prank, and hitting the fake call button. When the phone begins to “ring”, have a friend answer. When they pick it up, The Jerky Boys voice activation technology will be on the other side waiting to mess with them!
The Jerky Boys Prank Call app also features:?
- Three main characters (Frank Rizzo, Sol Rosenberg, Jack Tors)?
- Three never released calls (one for each character)
Each of the 3 characters has their own unique experience, including:?
- Jerky Board: Play each character’s Greetings, Questions, Responses, Insults?

Picture-Kaleidoscope Makes Kaleidoscoping Easy is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $0.99 Score: 7/10 By Daniel Bischoff
Do remember making your own kaleidoscope? Taking a cardboard tube, packing it full of shiny, colorful foil? Do you remember spinning that tube around and around? Well, there’s an app for that.
Picture-Kaleidoscope, from developer Kevin Needlands is a small, easy to use app that takes any picture you throw at it and converts it into a kaleidoscopic image that you can save and send to friends. Picture-Kaleidoscope’s biggest draw is how easy it is to use.
When you start the app up, Picture-Kaleidoscope asks you to either choose a picture from one of your photo albums, or take a picture of whatever you have in front of you at the time. It can be fun to use a picture of one of your friends, but a more visually stunning kaleidoscope will come from an abstract or interesting picture.
After choosing your photo, you simply draw a line on the image to pick a point for the kaleidoscope to separate the image. You cut a large section, or a small one. After generating your kaleidoscope on this section, you can choose how many pieces to use and whether or not you want the image mirrored in adjacent sections of the kaleidoscope.
Voilà! You have your kaleidoscope – just please refrain from spinning your iPhone while driving or operating heavy machinery! The kaleidoscope image itself doesn’t actually spin in this app, though it would be a nice addition to see in a future update as that was half the fun of the old tube-and-foil creations.
Picture-Kaleidoscope is an extremely easy to use app, but some of that ease of use is due in part to the low number of features and options to play with. At $0.99 you can certainly get some fun out of the app, but it might not stay on your phone for long if you don’t have much room left on your hard drive.
Kaleidoscope is available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It requires the iPhone OS 3.0 or later.

Spanish Armada – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Spanish Armada ($1.99)
Version –1.1
REVIEW – “A great old classic brought to life!”
I remember when I was little playing battleship with
my brothers and sisters. The game has been a classic board game for decades. It was even more exciting when they released electronic games that had sound effects and that kept track of hits and misses! Well today I’m happy to be giving away a promo code for a battleship-like game called 
Spanish Armada by Orient Maple! So stick around for the end of this review where I’ll be giving you information on how you can enter to win!
If you’ve never played a game like this before the basic concept is that each player hides 5 ships somewhere on their grid? Once both 
players have hidden all their ships you then take turns selecting squares on your opponents grid to attack! This game breaks up the action with a couple of different ways to play as well.
In the options menu you’ll find the option to select “Volley Shot” or “Salvo Shot” mode. In volley shot you take turns shooting until you miss. What this means is if you strike on of your opponents ships then you get to go again until you miss! While on the other hand, salvo shot gives each player the same amount of shots that they have ships left.
There are several other options you can set which range from sound effect levels, music levels and difficulty level. Once you have it all set up like you want you can either play a game against the computer or you can play with a friend if there is a wifi connection available! I was impressed with the network connection for wifi games. I played several games with my wife between my 3GS and her 3G iPhone and I had almost no problems at all with disconnections.
Another nice aspect of the game is that it is integrated with the OpenFeint gaming network. This allows you to compare
scores with your friends, chat, and get achievements all from one simple to use interface! Overall this game is a lot of fun and is relatively cheap as well. My wife has literally played this game for hours on end!
So I’m sure you’ve probably been waiting to find out how you can win a free copy of this game. Well I won’t keep you waiting any longer! All you have to do is (1) follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/iHayward so I can send you a message if you win and (2) tweet the following message – “@iHayward win a free promo code for Spanish Armada from AppShouter! – “. That’s all you have to do! I’ll be selecting the winners next Monday the 15th so be sure to enter before then! Thank you so much for reading this review and for looking to AppShouter to find out about all the latest Apps!

iOverTheNet – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
iOverTheNet ($1.99)
Version – 1.1.1
REVIEW – “Fast paced volleyball action on your mobile device!”
There are tons of apps available in Apple’s App Store, but unfortunately it’s not always that easy to find a game that feels new and is a lot of fun, but this game does just that! While there have been lots of sports games in the App Store, there have been very few volleyball games. This game takes you right into the action as you travel the world competing in beach volleyball!
The game loads quickly and takes you to a main menu screen. The background music here is descent, typical upbeat sports music. It does get a little old after a while, but is 
also easy to turn off by either putting your device on vibrate or by turning it off in the “Setup” menu. There are a couple of other options available here like the ability to change the camera view and your player name.
One thing that I think a lot of people will notice quickly is that there is only one difficulty setting. The reason that I think people will notice it is that this game is very difficult when you first start playing it. I would highly recommend that everyone check out the tutorial video that is available because it does a good job of visually illustrating 
how the controls work. Without the video it is definitely not easy to figure out.
Once you are ready to get started there are two modes of play. “Single Game,” and “World Tour.” In the single game mode you get to choose a city to play in and your opponent, while in the world tour you will play several games, moving from place to
place and playing different opponents. You’ll notice that there are quite a few teams to choose from and even more destinations to play at.
Game play itself is a lot of fun if you’re willing to learn how to play. I found very quickly that the “auto motion” feature makes it almost impossible to do well because the AI for moving your player is very poor. While the manual control 
(via a small D-pad in the lower left corner) takes some getting used to, it actually works quite well once you adjust to it, and is the only way that you will be able to compete against the computer.
I found that most of the controls were pretty easy except for the “swipe” that is used to spike the ball and jump serve. The problem I had with it was that it was very difficult to figure out whether it was my location in the air, the speed of my swipe, or the direction of my swipe when it didn’t work right. It was not quite as bad while spiking as the serving though. I found that if I tried to jump serve I ended up not getting it over the net more often than not. With all of that said, I was eventually able to adjust to the swiping controls.
If you like a challenge I think that you’ll find this game to be a blast. While there are a few small flaws in the gameplay itself, specifically that it is almost impossible to hit the ball over the net before the third strike even if you want, this game still manages to be a lot of fun and the graphics are extremely nice. If you enjoy volleyball this could very well be the game that you’ve been waiting for. So my question is if you’re still reading this review what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store and grab your copy of iOverTheNet today!

Fighting Fantasy: Deathtrap Dungeon
Books, Entertainment, Games, choose your own adventure, fantasy, game, iphone app, review Comments Off
Fighting Fantasy: Deathtrap Dungeon is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Fighting Fantasy: Deathtrap Dungeon ( $2.99)
Version 1.0
REVIEW – ” Choose your own Adventure comes to the iPhone in a whole new way.”
I remember the days when I was a kid and I would visit my grandmother and spend time reading old Choose Your Own Adventure books, I always thought they were immense fun. Fighting Fantasy: Deathtrap Dungeon is the second installment in the Fighting Fantasy series which is a choose your own adventure type story for the iPhone.
As one would expect this means that you are basically reading a novel and then being allowed to make choices about which way to go and what to do. Don’t expect great writing or even a great storyline but then that probably isn’t the reason why you would pick up this app.
After a few rather tedious pages of intro you get into the point where you finally get to start making decisions. The decisions you make can affect your character’s health (which is chosen by a roll of the dice when you start the game), and they can affect what tools you have and what potions you have access to.
But deciding whether to go right and left or whether or not to drink the contents of a vial, is not the only interaction you have with this story. When you come across an enemy you get to do actual battle with them. This is done in the way you would with most tabletop RPGs, simply with you and you enemy rolling the dice in order to find out how strong your attacks are.
The game warns you that you might not get very far at first and that you might need to take a few tries to get through and survive the game. I so far have not died but that isn’t to say that my character did not take quite a beating, and currently there is no end in sight.
The great thing about this app is that there is immense replay value because even if you survive all the way through, there is usually a way to do it better, and even if there isn’t, it is always fun to see the ways in which your character can die.
I think this is a great way to encourage to encourage kids to read, specifically young boys. There is some violence but so far nothing that is really inappropriate for preteen or teenage children. Adults might have fun with the concept as well but the writing and the story could be better, but that isn’t to say that the Choose Your Own Adventure books were ever brilliantly written.
The story focuses on the main character (you) who has decided to enter the Trial of Champions for the mere fact that no one has ever survived and you are one cocky hero who thinks you can succeed over all others.
This is the second in the series but I was easily able to understand and get through the story even though I had no previous experience in the series.

CryptoPix – iPhone App Review

CryptoPix – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
CryptoPix ($0.99)
Version – 1.0
REVIEW – “Have fun sending cool messages to your friends!”
I love cryptograms and so when I saw this app I knew it was one that I needed to try out! CryptoPix is an app that will take any text that you type and create a cryptogram from it. What is a cryptogram? A 
cryptogram is a series of pictures, math references and letters that spell out a phrase. Sometimes you have to think out of the box to figure out what they’re saying though!
Whether you’re wanting to send a cheesy love message, or just funny messages to friends this app can be a lot of fun! I’ll say this up front, while you are able to text these messages directly to friends, the pictures will not show up in the actual text message. Instead it will send them a link to go to where they will find their message! This is just fine if the person you are sending them to has a smartphone and can check it out right there, but a lot of people just have regular cell phones so this won’t do them any good unless they’re sitting in front of a computer.
With that said this app is a lot of fun, and you can also choose to send the messages just to their email! When you open up CryptoPix the main screen has a text box at the top where you will type the message you want to send. If you’re not very creative they’ve also supplied some “Sample Messages” to choose from 
using a select box below the message box.
Once you type or select your message there are a couple of options at the bottom of the screen. One of them is to decide whether you want the app to only use images that are appropriate for children, and the other option is to turn the translation below the images on or off. If you want to send your message in code so that it’s not obvious what it says you can turn it off, but if you’re just being funny, or sending a romantic message maybe you will want to check the box to turn on “Easy mode” which shows the translation below the pictures.
Overall the quality of the cryptograms is surprisingly good for being totally computer generated, although there are times when it will just put a chunk 
of letters in one of the pictures if it can’t match it with something. Once you have the message that you want to send all you have to do is touch the “Send the Message” button and you’ll be taken to a screen to do just that. You’ll need to enter your name, the reciepients name and their email address or phone number. Once everything’s set all you just touch “Send It!” and you’re all finished!
I was very impressed with the response time of the message server! I sent a message to my wife to test this app and she received it in just a few seconds, which is very good considering the fact that we have poor phone reception at our house most of the time. I’ll have to say that this app could definitely be a lot of fun, and at just $0.99 it’s pretty easy to justify its cost, even if it’s just for a quick laugh! If you’re still reading this and trying to decide my question would be what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store and start sending secret messages to your friends today!

Dreamwalk is a Bargain Hunter’s Dream is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Just released this week, Dreamwalk is touted as “the mobile treasure hunt” and in essence, that’s pretty much what it is. It sort of equates to commercialized geocaching, but it’s really a pretty simple concept.
Dreamwalk uses GPS technology to show users where prizes, or “treasure,” is waiting to be discovered. If you decide you want to don your pirate hat and go in search of said treasure, you can use your iPhone as the treasure map and claim a prize of your own. A first of its kind, Dreamwalk has the potential to revolutionize mobile marketing while giving bargain hunters and freebie lovers a whole new experience.
If you’re wondering where the prizes come from, they are supplied by the various participating businesses. The current estimate of available prizes is a couple of thousand across the US, ranging from free fries and coffee to video cameras and a Nintendo Wii. Still in its early stages, developers at Dreamwalk Pty. Ltd. are setting the stage for more and more businesses to get involved and grow the number of available prizes.
This particular feat shouldn’t be difficult to accomplish given that businesses can quickly upload prizes to Dreamwalk’s global map through the Dreamwalk website, and offering something for nothing is a great way to get customers in the door.(…)

Psalm Daily Quotes NKJV: Biblical Inspiration on Your iPhone is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $3.99 Score: 8/10 By Michelle Schusterman
For a quick source of daily inspiration, Psalm Daily Quotes NKJV is a lovely app that presents a Bible quote (from the New King James version), along with a photo.
Created by Systems of Merritt, Inc., this app has matched nature pictures with quotes from the Bible in a way (according to their website) that enhances the meaning of the words. I’m not well-studied in the Bible personally, but I can say that the pictures are high quality and do seem to compliment the verses nicely. For example, a quote from Psalm that begins “Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!” is matched with a picture of seals overlooking the waves crashing on the rocks – something that made me smile, since I pictured the seals clapping.
My app seems to have a glitch with the opening menu – I only see it for one second before being taken directly to a picture and quote, with no way to get back to the menu. However, navigating the app is simple – the quote is at the bottom and scrollable, tap on the right to move forward and left to move backward, and tap the top right corner for a random quote and picture.
This is one of several Bible quote apps designed by Systems of Merritt, Inc. Others include:
Spurgeon Daily Quotes, $0.99
Free Psalm Dally Quotes ASV, Free
Psalm Daily Quotes KJV, $0.99
Psalm Daily Quotes NASB, $2.99
Psalm Daily Quotes ESV, $3.99
Psalm Daily Quotes NKJV has a quote and picture for every day of the year. Other than the glitch with the opening page on my app, I found Psalm Daily Quotes very easy to navigate, and a lot of care has obviously been taken in selecting the pictures. Overall, it’s a good choice for those looking for a bit of religious inspiration on their iPhone.
Psalm Daily Quotes NKJV requires iPhone OS 3.1.2 and is only compatible with iPhone.
