Informed RN Pocket Guide – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Informed RN Pocket Guide ($9.99)

Version – 1.2

Review – “A great guide for nurses that is truly pocket sized!”

There are good things and bad things about electronic references. The good thing about them is the fact that you can have a virtually limitless amount of information packed into a very small device. The problem with them tends to be that the more information you pack in, the more difficult they become to navigate. Informed Publishing has addressed this by integrating great information with a simple interactive interface!

When you open up the RN Pocket Guide you’ll see a small menu bar at the bottom of the screen with four buttons. The button on the left of this menu will bring up a list of all the topics that are covered within this app. There are all kinds of topics covered from Cardiac and Respiratory down to Mental Health and Gastrointestinal.

When you find the topic that you need information on, touching it will bring up a list of articles to read. What really makes this app great though is that the information itself is interactive. If the article you’re reading mentions a test that you might want to perform it will give you a link to that test within the app, or if it references a phone number it will give you a link to dial that phone number directly.

Besides the articles full of information, this app also offers a variety of different medical calculators. You can access the full list of them by touching the “Calculators” button at the bottom of the screen. Many of them are also available from within various information in the “Topics” section as well.

Another great feature of this app is the “Search/Bookmarks” feature. Anytime you find and are reading an article that you think you might need later, you can add a bookmark to it by touching the “+” button at the bottom of the screen. You can then access your list of bookmarks either from the main menu or by touching the bookmark button from within an article.

You can switch from bookmarks to the search feature by touching the icon in the upper right corner of the screen. As you type information into the search bar you’ll see live updates of information below. Touching any of the articles that pop up will take you straight to them. This makes it extremely easy to quickly find information on a particular topic. No hunting through topics and subtopics, just type one good key word and head there directly!

If you’re a nurse and you have or used to carry a pocket guide of some sort, this is an app that you should definitely check out. For just $9.99 you can have all kinds of great information literally at the tops of your fingers! So what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store and check it out today!

Holy Roller – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Holy Roller ($1.99)

Version v2

Holy Roller is an app directed towards Christian people looking to reference Bible verses during the day as a means of motivation or inspiration. Developed by Holy Roller LLC, this app is clean, simple, and gives someone the opportunity to find random Bible verses as they want. However it does even more than that.

First of all, it’s important to note that this app supports meaning different interpretations of the Bible, which is accessible by tapping the Settings button in the upper left hand corner of the default screen.

By default it opens to the “Blessings” page, which says “I am blessed by…” and gives you a wheel of options to pick from. After picking your desire, hitting the “Show Verse” button will pull up a random verse that fits your desire.

The nice feature with this is that it not only shows you the verse but it also includes the Chapter and Verse reference as well.

In addition you’ll see the option to “Spread the Word,” where you can email the verse to someone or even post it to Twitter or Facebook.

Clicking the “New Verse” button at the bottom will pull up a new, random verse that fits your current desire. Hitting “Done” will take you back to the previous menu, where you can choose to find a new verse based on a different quality.

In addition to “Blessings,” there is also an option to reference Bible verses by “Burdens.” When you hit this button it simply says “I am…” and gives you choices such as Alone, Grieving, Worries, etc. When you make your selection here, it will in turn pull up a verse that may serve as motivation during your times of need.

All in all this is a very simple app but could be a priceless app for someone who is looking to add Bible verses into their day as a means for inspiration.It is a very nice looking app and is simple and straightforward to use. If having a religious based app on your phone is important to you, this app may be what you are looking for.

Head over to the App Store today and pick up your copy!

Flashlht – For iPhone 4 Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Some apps are so simple in their function, that we hardly a need to explain what it actually does. Flashlight by More Blu Sky is one of these apps. Flashlight is one of a group of apps that have popped up recently that make use of the LED flash on the iPhone 4 as a flashlight. Many were worried that Apple would reject this unconventional use of its hardware, but for the time being, Apple appears to be giving its blessing to these apps.

In a niche that is so basic it can be hard to differentiate one’s sel…Read More

Toogo – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Toogo

Version 1.1

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!

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.

GoodGuide – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

GoodGuide is an example of a good idea with a poor execution.  The app is a bar code scanner much like a myriad of other apps such as RedLaser, but once the product is scanned it tells you how well the product meets green standards (how environmentally friendly it is, etc).  Unlike other apps which seem to concentrate on food, this concentrates on any item that has a bar code attached to it.

The scores seem somewhat arbitrary (and this is coming from someone who gives arbitrary opinions on iPho…Read More

Teach Me Sushi Tackles the Task to the Tail End is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Price: $4.99   Score: 10/10   By A. Papachristos

Sushi is an acquired taste: you either love it, hate it, or come to love it.  Thankfully, in my case, my rebellious taste buds eventually kicked into gear and I’ve even come to crave sushi at the most unpredictable moments.  And now, with Teach Me Sushi by Teach Me Sushi, I can quell those craving in the comfort of my own home!

With Teach Me Sushi, users have access to 13 instructional videos, equaling 45 minutes of footage, dedicated to teaching them how to make delectable sushi right in their own kitchen.  Users will find everything from lists of the necessary equipment and ingredients, to step-by-step visual aids on how to make some of the most well known types of rolls.

When you start up Teach Me Sushi for the first time, you will find the Sushi Menu, which features a list of all topics covered within the application.  Simply tap on whichever category you wish and you will be taken to a separate page.  The Introduction, Equipment and How to Choose Your Fish sections all feature a simple video that adequately guides you through everything from the basics of sushi, to what makes certain fish perfect for your sushi creations.

The second tab in the bottom navigation bar (labeled What You Need) expands upon the Equipment section with an detailed list of not only what equipment this endeavor will require, but also a list of the ingredients necessary to make your sushi dreams become a reality.  Here, users will also find the exceptionally convenient Where to Buy tab, which will use your device’s location detection capabilities to narrow down the nearest Japanese supermarkets in your area using Google maps.  This way, users can easily map out their route and get directions.

Under ‘Cooking the Rice,’ users will find the instructions become more in-depth as the actual cooking process begins.  Here, users will not only find a video demonstration, but also a written step-by-step guide on how to prepare your sushi rice, as well as a sort of “about me” tab that describes the nature of sushi rice as a grain.  Plus, as the third tab in the bottom navigation bar, the Rice Timer takes the rice cooking lesson one step further by helping you cook your rice for the perfect amount of time with its 12 minute countdown clock timer.

Next, users will want to proceed to the ‘Preparing Your Vegetables’ section, where they will find a video as well as a step-by-step guide to preparing the necessary ingredients.  Users will also find a third tab, like in the rice section, which provides users with basic information about the given item.  For each section that you find broken down in this manner, the tabs will read as follows: Video, Step by Step, and About this Sushi.

After you learn how to prepare your vegetables, it is time to get down to business and make your rolls!  The remaining sections detail the process of how to create varying types of sushi rolls, such as: Maki, Inside Out Roll, Futo Maki, Hand Roll, Nigiri, Rainbow Roll, Sashimi, and Fashion Sandwich.

While everyone’s learning style differs, I highly recommend using the videos as a precursor, watching to gain a decent overview of the process.  Then, when you attempt to make the sushi yourself, use the step-by-step guide as if it were a cookbook.  The videos will always be there as backup in case you do not understand a step, but reading the instructions seems to be more conducive to completing the task at hand, for you can proceed at your own pace.  And, if you still cannot master the joy of sushi making, Teach Me Sushi offers classes to eligible participants as a way to personally instruct one or more people at a time in the ways of preparing ingredients and building the roll itself.  (You can learn more by tapping ‘Book a Lesson’ under the More tab in the bottom navigation bar.)

And now, thanks to the fact that I have typed the word “sushi” so many times, I must bid you farewell, for the craving has risen to the surface once again!  I’m thinking I could go for some tuna maki… Where’s the nearest Japanese supermarket again?

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

Bike Doctor – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Bike Doctor ($4.99)

Version – 1.0.0

Review – “Let your iPhone teach you how to fix bikes!”

If you enjoy riding bikes and would like to save yourself some serious money at the bike-repair shop, Bike Doctor may be just the right medicine! Bike Doctor is an app that will give you detailed instructions on how to perform various maintenance/repairs on your bike!

The various repairs and maintenance procedures in this app are sorted by the areas of the bike that you are working on. When you open up the app you’ll be greeted by a list of all the categories that are available. To the right of each category is a description of how many repairs are available in that category.

Touching any category from the main menu will take you to a list of the repairs in that category. When you find the repair you are interested in and open it up the first screen you see tells you everything that you will need to perform the repair. These lists include everything that is necessary from wrenches and screw drivers to things like grease or cleaning rags.

Once you have opened up a repair to view there is a small bar that appears at the bottom of the screen. On the left side of this bar are “Prev” and “Next” buttons that allow you to navigate through all of the information. I really liked the way the repairs were divided up into separate screens. It made it much easier to keep track of exactly where you were as you are performing the repair.

When you finish your repair all you have to do is touch the “done” button in the bottom right corner to go back to the previous menu that you were in. To head back to the main menu screen from there you’ll also need to touch the “Bike Doctor” button in the upper left corner of the screen.

Another really nice feature of this app is the Bike diagram. Touching the “Bike” button in the upper right corner of the main menu will bring up a full-screen diagram of a bicycle with a bunch of little red circles on it.  Touching any of the small red circles will take you to a list of repairs that can be performed on that area of the bike. This feature is especially nice if you’re not familiar with the names of all the different parts of a bike.

The information you’ll find in this app is detailed and thorough. While you might find some of it by just scouring the internet, it is highly unlikely that you’ll find it laid out as well as it is in this app. The pictures that are included are really great too because they help you see what is being described as you read.

Whether you’re a serious bike enthusiast, or someone that would just like to learn to take care of their bike themselves, Bike Doctor is a great reference that you can carry in your pocket in your iPhone or iPod Touch! The app is currently available for $4.99 and the developers have stated that they will be updating the app with new content in the future. Download your copy today!
