Pocket MBA Full Course (Part 1) – iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Pocket MBA Full Course (Part 1) ($449.99)

Version 1.0

Are you in school studying for your MBA and still searching for that perfect study aid to help you with completely your degree? If that fits your description then you may find Pocket MBA Full Course (Part 1) an app would reading about.

This app is developed by Intersog and is similar to taking a course at your own pace. It is really nice, clean, in depth, and does a great job of offering something for different learning styles.

First of all you’ll notice when you launch the app that it has a great interface to it. It defaults to the main menu, which lists out the different courses that you can choose from, with a brief summary of each one. From here you will pick the subject you are interested in studying and proceed to Launch that course.

Once you choose and go into a course you’ll see it’s even broken down into chapters. After that it goes into pre-course expectations, which I think is great, so you will know what to expect to learn from each chapter. In addition, if you look along the bottom you’ll see that they offer the chapter in modes to read the text, study through flash cards, and even to take an exam.

A few things worth noting about this app ..

1. You can bookmark your progress or just any sections you would like to refer back to.

2. You can search for topics throughout the app through a handy search button.

3. There’s a handy glossary (specific to the application) so you can look up new words quickly and easily as you encounter them).

4. The app is quick, smooth, really clean, and just overall very nicely laid out. You can tell the developer put a lot of time into fine tuning this application.

My thoughts? If you’re studying for your MBA and need a great tool to give you that motivation and push to do well then this app is definitely worth looking at. Yes, it’s pricey but so is your education, right? Those Master’s classes aren’t cheap, trust me I know!

If doing well and not repeating courses is important to you then this app may be worth the investment. It’s very nice, seems very in depth, and may be what you need to give your education that extra boost, so check it out in the App Store today!

My Reading List – iPad App Review

Posted on July 20, 2010 by admin

My Reading List – iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

My Reading List ($2.99)
Version 1.1

(only available for the iPad)

Are you an avid reader looking for a way to organize your future reading material? If so then you may enjoy My Reading List for the iPad. This app was developed by 59thirty LLC and is not only a catalog but also an integrated purchasing tool.

The app has a clean and simple interface to it. When you open the app it defaults to your Reading Wish List. In this menu you can see which books are on your list, preview the book cover (by clicking on the cover icon), rearrange or delete books, and even purchases books through amazon.com

In the upper left hand corner you can edit your list .. i.e. remove books you’ve already bought and even rearrange books within the list.

In the upper right hand corner you have the option to add new books to your list. You can add a book either by searching for the name of the book or the author’s name. Once you do that it populates a list of book options where you can select the book you were looking for.

Once a book is added to your list you have the option to buy it, using this app and Amazon.com. Simply click on the “Buy” button and it will pull the book in question up within amazon.com’s website and from there you can select the reading format you are interested in and place your order.

My biggest suggestion for this app would be to incorporate a means to track books that people have read, because that seems to be a common trait among avid readers. That could be as simple as a long, uncategorized list or as nice as breaking it out by genre (possibly pulled from amazon’s website as well), author, or similar categories / ordering.

All in all if you are an avid reading looking for a quick and easy way to keep track of your future reading list you may want to give My Reading List a look. It’s currently on sale in the App Store for $2.99 and currently is available as an iPad only version.

Manic Marble 3 – iPhone / iPad App Review

Posted on June 16, 2010 by admin

Manic Marble 3 – iPhone / iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

mm3icon Manic Marble 3 iPhone / iPad App Review

Manic Marble 3 ($3.99)
Version 1.0
Review – “iPhone and iPad both get Manic”

App developer: Rich Olson
Website: http://www.nothinglabs.com/manicmarble3/

Most people are familiar with the Manic Marble series. Now in it’s third incarnation, there’s a full iPad version available too.

Manic Marble is a game which uses your iOS device’s accelerometer to control the speed and direction of your marble as you attempt to travel around a tricky obstacle course. The game play is simple, but obviously requires lots of practise and skill. Even though there are only 8 Levels, this App will keep you busy for hours. The first two versions were very popular on the iPhone and iPod Touch devices, and with the larger screen and higher resolution, the iPad version rivals the previous versions for sure.

The controls are great on both the iPad and iPhone. Although I honestly found it easier to control the acceleration on the iPad since there was more device to handle. On my iPhone the marble was easier to turn/tilt as you need to move your device less to effect the marble. Overall I found that the iPad version felt more ‘realistic’.

The only drawbacks to this game are two things. One, as noted in the iTunes description, some people feel a bit motion sick when playing 3D first-person (or in this case first-marble) games. I am one of those people, so I can only play for a short while before having to give my eyes a rest. The second is the restart point after you fall off the course isn’t consistant. I don’t know if it’s randomly generated, as a feature, or if it’s a bug of the newest version, not quite ironed out yet.

Either way, this game is worth a try. There are other marble games out there, but Manic Marble is consistantly one of the highest quality and best controls. You can always just give the Free Versions a Roll first.

GameRoom – iPad App Review

Posted on June 15, 2010 by admin

GameRoom – iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

GameRoom (Free)
Version 1.1
Review – “Free Board Games for the iPad”

App developer: Metaversal Studios
Website: www.metaversalstudios.com

There aren’t too many Free iPad apps out there, but luckily there’s one that offers some of the most popular board games, with great graphics and small but decent selection of games. GameRoom includes Checkers, Reversi and Go, with the ability to build your own custom game using the grid and pieces included from those games.

One would suspect that the graphics and mechanics of a free App might not be up to par, especially on the large iPad screen, but GameRoom is actually quite stunning. Even if this was just a Checkers App, I would download it just to have a portable Checkers set with me all the time. You never know when that could come in handy. On your lunch break, while commuting on the train or bus, trying to distract bored children.

An unexpected but welcome feature is the Rule Book, which offers you information and the rules of game play for each of the games built in. And you don’t have to quit your came to go in and check the rules. So if you need to check if a certain move is allowed – you can flip into the Rule Book, and flip back to your game easily.

The developers have included a ‘News Feed’ directly on the main page, so obviously you’ll be informed of App updates, but hopefully this means that they’ll be adding additional games as the App gets more popular. Even if it doesn’t, it’s still worth a look.

Honestly, this is a well designed free App. The graphics are great, the games work great, and with free Apps pretty much lacking specifically for iPad recently, I highly suggest you download it, just to have you may use it more often than you think!

TweetTime for iPad – iPad App Review

Posted on June 6, 2010 by admin

TweetTime for iPad – iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

TweetTime for iPad ($2.99)

Version 1.2

Review – “A great Twitter app for the iPad that gives you many of the advanced options that you’re missing!”

I love Twitter. I love to talk and contribute my random 140 character comments out to the world. Following me on Twitter can sometimes become an extreme sport. With that being said, having a nice Twitter app on my iPad was one of my top priorities.

TweetTime for iPad is developed by Dong-Wook Kim and is a great Twitter client. It offers many of the advanced features that users like myself want to have within their reach. At the same time, the app is very clean, eye appealing, and easy to navigate.

First of all, the app is written with a dark theme, which is a very popular request among Twitter app users. It of course works in both portrait and landscape modes. Portrait mode presents your timeline across the screen while rotating it into landscape not only shows your timeline but it also includes quick links to items such as Home, Mentions, Messages, Trends, and so on (see the screenshot below).

Clicking on a tweet will open it up into a new mini-window, which gives you options such as seeing a user’s profile, marking as a favorite, sending a DM, replying, and retweeting (although it is the old style retweeting). You can continue to drill down into the different links for even more options. When you want to send a new tweet you have the option to add in media from your photo library, URL shortening, and adding in your current location.

In addition, TweetTime for iPad has built in many of the nice Twitterfeatures such as list support (both your lists and lists you subscribe to), current Trends (which can be seen by current, daily, or weekly), multiple account support, and many other great additions.

Here is a listing of the features included in this version of TweetTime for iPad (taken from the developer’s list):

- Supporting multiple twitter accounts.
- Managing your twitter home, replies, direct messages and favorites.
- Trends Viewer.
- Searching Twitter.
- Searching a user.
- Viewing other user’s timeline, favorites, and profile information.
- My profile
- Landscape Keyboard support.
- Hash tag support.
- Posting a tweet.
- Reply support.
- RT support.
- Sending and receiving direct messages.
- Uploading photos from your photo library.
- Uploading your location with Google Map.
- Follow, Unfollow users.
- Block/Unblock users.
- Mark/Unmark favorite tweets.
- Built-in web browser to view web links.
- Built-in URL shortening.(Paste or type URLs as many as you want, and then tap URL button.)
- ‘In reply to’ feature. (You can keep tracing all the replies till the end.)
- Shows the number of new tweets when you log back in.
- Supporting OAuth for Authentication for Twitter Server.
- Saving draft of the tweet if you cancel composing tweet. And you can continue to compose it continuously when you re-composing tweet.
- Geotagging Support. You can post geotagged tweets. (Go to Twitter.com, change your setting for enable geotagging to use this feature.)
- Official List Support. Create List, Delete List, Add users to your own list, and subscribe other users’ list.
- Deleting tweets you posted.
- Uploading medias support 2 different modes.

In a future version release, I’d like to see the addition of the new RT Style accessible within the retweet link. Also, it would be nice if my tweets and possibly the @ replies directed to me were color coded so that they stood out from the other tweets in my timeline.

Overall, TweetTime for iPad is a solid Twitter app that comes is a great, clean, easy to use format, while packing in many of the in depth features that power Twitter users crave.

TweetTime for iPad is currently selling in the App Store for $2.99 and this app will be a great addition to your iPad collection. Head on over to the App Store and pick up your copy .. you won’t be sorry!

The Early Edition – iPad App Review

Posted on June 5, 2010 by admin

The Early Edition – iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

The Early Edition ($4.99)

Version 1.1

Review – “An iPad RSS Reader app that is in a class of its own!”

I love reading blogs and news online. That was one of my biggest reasons for adding an iPad to my collection. With that being said, my online reading experience is definitely related to what I’m using to read my RSS feeds. In comes The Early Edition.

Developed by Glasshouse Apps, The Early Edition is a fantastic and gorgeous app that converts your blog feeds into a simulated newspaper environment. It is definitely in a class of its own.

As of version 1.1 The Early Edition now gives you the option of importing feeds from Google Reader or an OPML file, discover feed URLs by entering web links, and even organize your feeds into sections.

When you open up the application you’ll start by loading in your feeds. As a default The Early Edition actually loads in feeds for you, in case you haven’t built up a pile of links yet and would just like to catch up on popular news sources. Then what The Early Edition does is randomly pulls from your feeds sources and then converts the articles into different displays and layouts, simulating a newpapers like feel to the application. The end result is a very pleasant take on a traditional RSS Feed Reader.

From there you can virtually flip through the different pages as you continue to read links that are available to you. If you want to read more on a link, simply click on the news article and it will load that into a new page for you to read more in depth. Then if you want to read the original version of the article (and not the default feed version), you’ll be able to click the button to View Original where it proceeds to open the actual website for you.

If you’d like to share any news articles with other people, you have a few options to do that in The Early Edition. You can send it to Instapaper, copy the link to the article, and also email the article to someone.

When pulling feeds you also have a few options on how much you’re retrieving at once. You can pull feeds just for today only, for all dates, and even pull everything since your last fetch. If you’re a continuous reader, there is a built in option to refresh your news feeds while keeping the application open. Another cool addition is that you can actually pull articles from dates that you have used the app & pulled feed from in the past. So if you’re looking for an article that you just read the other day it’s just a click away!

Overall I’m super impressed with this application and it’s very obvious that the developers put a lot of hard work into making this a top notch app for the iPad.

My only suggestions would be to add in more sharing options because I personally like to share (or sometimes overshare .. ) links to articles on both Twitter and facebook. I also like to click the share link, within Google Reader, so that people who follow me through Buzz can see the links as well. In addition it would be nice to mark items as read on a page (which would sync back to Google Reader) so when I pull up the web application I can see what’s been read and what has not.

All in all, The Early Edition is a gorgeous app that really makes your feed reading experience that much better. It is currently selling for the bargain price of $4.99 and you’ll see that it’s a bargain once you start using this and realizing everything it has to offer. If you enjoy reading RSS feeds and / or using Google Reader, this may be the app for you.
