Moe’s Notes Hits the iPad as Moe’s Notepad
Moe’s Notes Hits the iPad as Moe’s Notepad is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
We enjoyed Moe’s Notes for iPhone which offers some unique features for taking rich multimedia notes that include audio, video, images and GPS coordinates and it’s now available for iPad.
Moe’s Notepad makes the most of the iPad’s larger screen by using splitter bars to show different sections of the app that used to be spread across multiple screens. The updated UI allows users to customize the app’s display as they wish while retaining the same functionality.
Without a camera in the iPad (although the team behind Moe’s Notes believe one is coming) images are taken from the iPad’s Photo’s App with a number of editing options available within the app itself. Audio editing is also impressive with recording and trimming of audio as well as volume and speed settings available.
All media can be combined into an email and sent as attachments with more streamlined options coming in a future update that could include popular formats such as Evernote or GoogleDocs among others.
Users of Moe’s Notes for iPhone should certainly invest in this iPad reworking and those that need a decent note taking tool will be hard pressed to find a more feature-packed alternative.
Moe’s Notes is available now for $9.99

Become A Field Agent And Earn Money With Your iPhone
Become A Field Agent And Earn Money With Your iPhone is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
By now you’ve probably spent a decent amount of money on iPhone apps, so wouldn’t it be nice if you could make some of that money back?
Well the Field Agent app might be able to help you do just that, claiming to be the first app that actually pays you, the user. By signing up to become an “Agent” you fit into a very simple ecosystem: A “Client” creates a job, the “Agent” (you) completes the job, the client and agent are happy.
What does this mean in the real word? Well, a client is a company or service that has signed up at FieldAgent.net and needs information on competitors, consumers or wants to check whether its products are being correctly sold. The agent is someone who has download the Field Agent app and receives notification that a client needs a job done, carries it out and is paid a small fee for their troubles.
While it sounds very James Bond meets Foursquare, the app and its assignments are for real as far as we can tell and actually do pay. While no explicit information is given as to the purpose or beneficiaries of these “assignments”, it’s a safe bet that most of them are market research for the Fortune 50 clients who back the app.
Fortunately, the agent jobs required by the clients don’t involve horses heads in beds or extortion either. Most of the assignments involve checking prices at stores or filling out surveys and pay between $3 and $12 if completed properly and within a set time limit. Jobs often require a verifiable GPS location and a photograph in order to keep the clients happy so an iPhone 3G or 3GS is recommend.
Once an agent has made their money it can be transferred to a PayPal account within 48 hours.
Agents also develop a Rep Score that shows how good a job you’re doing for your clients. Starting with 85 points, agents gain points up to a maximum of 100 for successful, accurate jobs with higher rep leading to more frequent jobs. Of course, if you fail at your task or submit inaccurate results you lose points and aren’t at the top of the pile when the next assignment comes in.
It seems that agent jobs are somewhat scarce at the moment with a number of iTunes reviewers giving some pretty harsh feedback that has prompted a response from the company. Apparently the number of agents has increased by 500% in a week and they are waiting for the client growth to catch up. This does sound like a cleverly worded way of saying “companies aren’t quite as interested in the service as consumers who stand to make money” but apparently more jobs are coming soon.
We’re keeping a close eye on this intriguing service that has the potential to be groundbreaking but could also end up wasting a lot of people’s time.

Everlater – Travel Journals – User Review
Everlater – Travel Journals – User Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Everlater – A Travel Journal You Can Share
Version – 2.1
USER REVIEW
I love to travel. I’ve lived overseas and traveled through 21
countries so far, with more planned in the near future. One thing I’ve
never been inspired to do however, is keep a journal of my travels.
Carrying a blank book means added weight, and in order to share its
contents I would have to wait until I returned home. I tried using a
laptop and even my mobile phone, but uploading photos to Flickr,
describing snippets of my trip 
on a blog, and using maps via Google
Maps turned out to be a time consuming piecemeal way of sharing my
adventures with family and friends.
Sites like TripIt are starting to approach what I have been looking
for though, and one recent contender in particular stands out way
ahead of the others: Everlater (an anagram for e-traveler). Everlater
is a “whole” application, making the most optimal use of both a Web
based app and an iPhone based companion app.
It’s “whole” in another important way, too: you can plan your trip -
even making use of details from similar trips others before you have
taken – and share your plans with friends and family. Then when you’re
traveling you can capture your experiences on Everlater, and your
friends and family can see them. Pictures, commentary, maps, videos -
all available in one place! And there’s more. Everlater connects to
Facebook, Twitter and email to make sharing and notifications simple.
Last summer, I spent a month in Australia and journaled my travels for
the first time – using Everlater! It was easy and took very little
time away from the activities in which I was engaged. The best feature
was that in places where 3G and wifi weren’t available (I was in far
north Queensland, near Cape Tribulation – you’re lucky to find a
landline there!), I still could use my iPhone to log details offline
for synchronization and uploading
later, when wifi was available. This
alone saved loads of money on roaming fees!
As you log your activities, you can add details about specific
restaurants, sights, lodging, travel tips, transportation and more.
All these can be viewed by other travelers, enhancing their plans and
helping to inform the Everlater community.
Everlater is a nascent but solid solution to mobile travel journaling,
and your friends and family will love the fact that they can
vicariously join you on your journey. This summer I’m off to South
Africa – I hope all of you will follow my adventures on Everlater. And
even better – let me follow YOUR adventures! You can find me at

CoPilot Live HD, turn-by-turn navigation available for iPad
CoPilot Live HD, turn-by-turn navigation available for iPad is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
The team at ALK Technologies has launched its GPS navigation app, CoPilot Live HD, for the iPad on the App Store. The app has been designed specifically for the iPad 3G’s GPS receiver and large screen to provide turn-by-turn, voice-guided navigation.
With recent news of iPad’s being fitted into car dashboards, this is particularly exciting news for those shopping for a new SatNav device for their vehicle.
Street maps are stored on the device and the app can display both 2D and 3D map views with turn instructions for the driver. The app automatically switches between portrait and landscape view and provides iPod controls from within the application, another bonus for those planning to dashboard-mount their new Apple tablet or connect it to their in-car sound system.
CoPilot Live HD offers a feature for users to plan trips offline and preview routes to find the most efficient journey before setting out.
“CoPilot Live HD provides an absolutely sensational GPS navigation and planning experience on iPad 3G,” said Michael Kornhauser, Managing Director at ALK Technologies. “Developing for iPad was a natural step following the tremendous popularity of our CoPilot Live iPhone app. It’s a really fantastic platform for navigation that allows us to fully exploit the many years of expertise we have gained from supporting tablet computers with our CoPilot Live Laptop products.”
CoPilot Live HD is priced at $29.99 for unlimited use with free quarterly map updates through 2010.

JeddahFood – iPhone App Review
JeddahFood – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
JeddahFood ($3.99)
Version – 1.0
REVIEW – “Find great food while traveling in Jeddah!”
Whether you live in or are planning on taking a trip to Jeddah in Saudia Arabia, JeddahFood is an app that you might be interested in. If you’re familiar with the area you may have noticed that Google searches for things like food there turn up very few results. This app will not only help you find the results you’re looking for, but also find out whether it is a place worth eating at!
When you open up JeddahFood you’ll start out at the Near Me page. From here all you have to get started is touch the “Start” button on the left side of the screen. You’ll be presented with a list of different kinds of food. The list is fairly comprehensive, containing everything from a variety of different “Middle Eastern” foods to juice bars and fast food!
The nice thing about the category view of this app is how detailed it is. For 
example if you choose the “Fast Food” option you are presented with a list of different types of fast food. You can quickly and easily choose from Pizza, Burgers, Chicken, etc. It is even as specific as to differentiate between “Middle Eastern” foods, dividing them into categories like “Moroccan, Saudi and Egyptian.
Another great thing about this app is all of the information you can get about the restaurants. When you find the one you are interested in and select it you’ll not only get it’s location, but also phone numbers, websites, reviews and comments. While I can’t speak to the accuracy of the locations since I don’t live in Saudi Arabia, I will say that there seems to be a great deal of information and comments on the websites.
While the category search is one of the best I’ve seen, if you know exactly what you’re looking for there is a search function as well. You can specify your search to only show results within a certain radius of your current location, to a specific district, or even to how much money you’re willing to spend.
There are a few other menu options as well that are useful. The first is a “Recents” page where you can quickly see what restaurants you’ve looked
at previously. There is also a “Bookmarks” page that will show you a list of any restaurants that you choose to “Bookmark.” This makes it easy to make a list of places to visit if you are traveling! The final option the a “Settings” screen. From here you can link the app to your Facebook, Twitter, and even a “Jeddahfood.com” account should you choose to create one.
The one thing I will say is that, when compared to the rest of the App Store, the app does seem a little overpriced. With that said, the results you get with this app are definitely top notch and you might not find them anywhere else, so they might be worth it. This is definitely not your typical free social networking app.
All things considered in the big picture of things if you are traveling abroad and will have good internet access with your iPhone this app probably is worth the $3.99 that they are charging for it. If you’re still not sure though I’d encourage you to head to their website and check it out for yourself. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the detailed information you can get, and the format it’s presented in on the iPhone is simple and concise!
