Mortgage Calculator – The Amortizer – iPhone App Review
Mortgage Calculator – The Amortizer – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Mortgage Calculator – The Amortizer ($0.99)
Version – 1.1
Review – “A great app for homebuyers and homeowners looking to refinance!”
Whether you’re looking to buy a new house, or you’re looking at refinancing a property, wouldn’t it be great to be able to figure out what a loan would look like anywhere on your phone? Well now you can 
with a $0.99 app called “Mortgage Calculator – The Amortizer” for the iOS!
The app itself is pretty simple. To calculate the costs of a loan just touch the “+” button in the upper right corner of the screen and fill out the information that you see on the screen. 
You’ll need to enter the purchase amount, down payment, interest rate, loan term, etc., and then touch the “Calculate” button in the upper right corner of the screen to figure out the costs associated with the proposed loan.
In addition to calculating the actual mortgage cost, you can also add in your escrow as well to get a more accurate number. To do that just touch the “Add Escrow Cost” button at the bottom of the loan information screen. You can then enter in each cost that is a part of your escrow individually, or you can add the total amount of your current escrow if you choose.
The loan breakdown that you get once you’ve calculated it offers a variety of interesting information. It 
calculates the total interest that you’ll pay on the loan, the total amount that you will pay on the loan if it goes as scheduled, and a breakdown of how much you will pay each month towards
the interest and principal of the loan!
Another great feature of the app is the ability to generate PDF’s of the loan information and email them to anyone! To do this just touch the “Email PDF” button in the upper right corner of the screen. You’ll get the choice of whether or not to include the amortization schedule or not, and then you’ll be taken directly to a form email with the PDF attached to it.
My personal experience with this app is that it made it very easy to get quick figures on what a loan will cost you. Unfortunately what it does not have is a way to calculate what it will cost you to refinance a loan. With that said, the app is only $0.99, and the PDF email feature is a great way to share loan figures with people while on the go. I’d encourage you to head to app store and check it out for yourself today!

AppZapp – Discover the AppStore © 2010 ConIT AG
version 1.2.1
FREE!
AppZapp has been around for quite a while and has brought us apps like “Do Not Press The Red Button”, and many more. They have somewhere around 20 apps in their catalog for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, and they have released a new app to try and sort through it all: Discover the App Store.
AppZapp has released a new app to easily guide you through the AppStore. “Discover the App Store“ is an easy walk through all the apps has to offer, with a simple easy interface. AppZapp also has a “PriceAlarm“ function, that will always inform you of sales or promotions of certain apps you love. You just set up a free account, and select the Apps you want to monitor.
“Discover the App Store” is a great tool to help you find what your looking for in the App Store. It features the same great descriptions and details you’ve come to know from the App Store. It supports App Stores in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
AppZapp Features:
- App offers, free apps and new apps at a glance
- Detailed overview of the apps with pictures and videos
- The feature “Preisalarm“ informs you about markdowns of selected apps
- Watch list for apps
- All changes and updates at a glance
- Browse through all the AppStore categories
- Top 100 list of the most popular apps, sorted by “iPhone“, “iPad“, “Paid“ and “Free“ Apps
- Browse the various AppStores
- Price chart history for each app (30/60/90 days)
- Share Apps via Facebook / Twitter / SMS / eMail
This is a great app for monitoring the App Store. Something the is missing from the actual App Store. Being able to keep an eye on certain apps that you may find a little pricey, and know when there are going on sale, is a terrific feature, that will probably never be included by Apple. The “Changes and Updates at a glance” feature is great, if you’re interested in knowing what has recently been updated, or want to ignore updates and focus on new releases only. Seeing as this app is free, there is no reason we cannot recommend this app.
You can get AppZapp: Discover the App Store now for free, in the App Store. Get it now!

Tap ‘n Cap Says the Words Your Pictures Can’t Convey
Tap ‘n Cap Says the Words Your Pictures Can’t Convey is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $.99 Score: 8/10 By A. Papachristos
Anyone who owns one of Apple’s portable gadgets will tell you that its utmost convenience is the capability to connect with friends, family and the World Wide Web in the blink of an eye. Sharing timely photos and the details of current happenings as they occur is one of the greatest aspects of today’s developing technology.
Tap ‘n Cap by Jeremy Brousseau utilizes such modern conveniences to bring users an intuitive and simple application that allows them to enhance their image sharing experience. With Tap ‘n Cap, users may insert up to six lines of custom text, creating captions for photos attained via their device’s photo library or camera.
Upon startup, users will find the Help screen, which teaches them exactly which actions accomplish certain tasks. A single tap of the empty screen will reveal the main task bar located at the bottom of the screen. The buttons provided are as follows: Settings, Help, Get Pic, Clear, Caption, and Finished.
Under Settings, users can adjust the many features Tap ‘n Cap offers, such as Camera Options (save copy of original, iPhone 3G mode), Photo Options (auto-save on send, auto-crop photos) and Text Options (auto-correct, auto-capitalize, two-finger rotate, default font). In fact, Tap ‘n Cap offers 20 font choices, the default being my favorite as it is reminiscent of the classic LOLCats typeface. These fonts come in black and white, though the developers hope to soon add colors, shadow, opacity and strikethrough to the list of choice in an upcoming update.
To begin the process, users will first need a picture to caption. Tapping the Get Pic button will prompt the question of whether you’d like to choose a photo from you library or take one with your camera (if your device has one). Once you have selected your picture, the once empty space will now display your photo. Conveniently, Tap ‘n Cap supports landscape mode for any type of photo. If you do not like what you see, the Clear button will wipe everything away. However, if you are happy with your image, hop right over to the Caption button to insert your witty words. A box will appear on the screen in which you may begin typing your caption. When you have finished writing, you may then use a single tap to drag your caption to any position on the image. You may scale the caption by using a two-finer pinch. Double tapping the caption will release its own tool bar, which allows you to rotate the words or change the font.
Once complete, tap the Finished button to either save your image to your device or email it to a friend. In the future, the developers also hope to include the ability to upload your images to Facebook and other such social networking sites.
Unfortunately, only those with an iPhone (or the latest iPod Touch) will benefit from the spontaneity Tap ‘n Cap offers. For all other users, the photo you caption must already exist in your photo library (unless you have the external camera attachment for the iPad, but that’s a hassle and probably won’t be attached during those ideal, caption-worthy photo moments), though the $.99 price tag won’t break the bank for those who want to experiment with what they have. And, for those who can utilize Tap ‘n Cap to its fullest extent, the potential for laughter is endless, allowing you to create your own silly images with the tap of a finger, not computer necessary.
Tap ‘n Cap [iTunes Link] requires iPhone OS 3.1.3 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.
Improve your iPhone Pictures with ProCamera

Price: $2.99 Score: 9/10 By M. Schusterman
I like to keep my reviews free of hyperbole – unless, of course, I’m trying to make a joke, which usually doesn’t go well – so I would never say that an app turns your iPhone’s camera into something as powerful as a digital SLR. I know what those cameras can do, and to have that on a phone is simply not (yet) possible.
I’ve checked out a lot of camera apps, and in the end, for one reason or another, I just resort to using the camera as is on my phone. But Pro Camera, designed by daemgen.net, has moved on over to the first page of apps on my screen.
What I love about this app is that it caters both to those who have a decent understanding of photography, and those who just want to enhance the iPhone’s camera. The app opens straight to the camera itself, but you can tap “Pro” in the bottom left and find a user guide in Settings to get some help. You can zoom in and out either by tapping the zoom icon in the bottom right, or by pinching. Tap the timer icon to set a timed shot (you can change the number of seconds in Settings as well). And the center icon is the anti-shake feature – find your shot, tap it, and the iPhone will take your picture the second you’re holding the iPhone perfectly still. (This is the best option when you’re zoomed in on something.)
For simplicity’s sake, you can tap anywhere on the screen to take a picture. By tapping the “Pro” icon, you can switch to the video, go to your photo album, and add or subtract the compass and other grids to help you find your focus and level the shot. Inside the albums, you can view your photos and get width and height info, email the full-size photo, or activate the photo studio, which allows you to adjust the photo settings and add effects.
It sounds like a lot – and there’s much more – but the fact is this app is very easy to use. If you’re interested in getting better shots with your iPhone camera, this one is three bucks well spent.

iPhotographer: Introductions, Filterstorm

We here at 148Apps would like to welcome you to the new iPhotographer column. What exactly is the point here? That is a mighty fine question.
We will bring you tips, tricks, and reviews geared directly at photographers of all skill levels. There will be tips and tricks on how to perform tasks on an iOS device that just might have you questioning the need for a laptop. We might even delve into some photo techniques and how these techniques can take your iPhone photography skills even further.
Now the question becomes one of credentials. I am an IT professional who ditched his education in computers for life behind a camera. I am a self-taught photographer who is looking to continue to grow my skill set while helping others along the way.
My name is Chris Nitz and I started my own photography business. I have read more articles on shutter speeds, rule of thirds, lighting, and white balance than I can ever care to remember. I have a passion to see the world from a viewfinder. I am by no means a photography elitist or so called expert. I’m here to learn right along with you, and encourage your comments and suggestions at the end of every article.
Let’s get to the meat of this column with a small review. This review is trimmed down, as you will see this app show up in future articles. The app I am referring to is Filterstorm
Filterstorm takes programs like Aperture or Lightroom and brings them right onto your iPad. Filterstorm contains all the goodness of tonal curves, noise reduction, saturation, and so much more right to your finger tips.
Filterstorm’s interface is easy on the eye while maintaining simplicity in navigation. Firing up the app will have the basic controls on the left side of the screen. Loading up a photo is as easy as choosing it from your photo library. Those with a camera connection kit can even bring in photos straight off a memory card.
Once the photo is in the app the real work begins. All edits are made without destroying the original photo. There is even an apply button you have to hit before the changes are made. You can easily test how the changes will look without racing for the undo option.
Filterstorm also gives you options for what to do with your photos once you’re done. FTP, Email, and saving directly to the iPad are all options. While this maybe a small list, it does continue to grow with each new update.
Filterstorm is not perfect, though. While the interface can be tucked away, it still takes up a decent portion of the screen. No Facebook, Flickr, Smugmug, or Picasa integration might have some people crying foul. There are also some funny quirks, like locking a photo into place when you are editing it. This creates a longer workflow process as the changes have to be made, applied, photo moved, and changes reproduced. Good thing there is a way to record the process and store it as a macro.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that the developer is very active with users on Twitter and various internet forums. This program has come a long way since version one and is looking to make bigger changes with upcoming releases.
Filterstorm is by no way shape or form going to take over from the likes of Lightroom on your desktop, but it will give you the perfect option for making quick edits while on the road. Programs that are far more expensive don’t offer this much flexibility. This is worth its weight in megabytes on your iPad. Those of you with an iPhone, this app is currently being migrated to iPhone 4 and 3GS. Look for it to hit the app store soon.
