SessionTalk SIP Client – iPhone App Review
SessionTalk SIP Client ($0.99) Version – 1.0 REVIEW – “Save minutes on your phone plan with SIP!” If you are a fan of Voice over IP technology and have not tried it on your mobile device yet this could be the next must-have app you’ve been looking for! SessionTalk SIP Client will allow you to connect your iPhone to your favorite VOIP service and use an interface that works and feels extremely similar to the iPhone’s built in phone functions. When you open this app up the first thing you’ll need to do is set up your VOIP service. If you don’t already have a service set up you’ll need to go and sign up for an account. You’ll see a list of VOIP services that have pre-configured settings if you choose to use those. I was able to easily find each of them using Google and choose one. With that said there is also a “Generic SIP” button that will leave all the settings pretty much untouched and ready for you to customize with any other VOIP serves that supports SIP phones.

The Weather Channel Max ($3.99) Version 1.76 REVIEW – “The most informative and powerful weather app you will ever need” Personally I have never really considered needing another weather app besides the one that is automatically loaded onto the iPhone. But I must admit that The Weather Channel Max is pretty cool. The app has the basic info with current weather with all the usual information that you could ever ask which is followed by hourly weather, 36 hour forecast and the 10 day forecast.
Full StoryTapScanner – iPhone App Review
TapScanner ($1.99) Version – 1.0 REVIEW – “Check prices and share products with your friends with TapScanner!” If you’re a regular at AppShouter you’ve probably noticed that I’ve already reviewed several bar scanning apps in the past. So what, you might ask, is different about TapScanner? Well I’m here to tell you that it’s all about the networking! While RedLaser has already established itself as a leader in this category of apps, TapScanner is attempting to take that winning formula and add both a new interface and an easy way to interact with some popular social networks! One of the things that I was impressed with is that the interface of this app is extremely polished for a newly released app. The graphics are all simple and yet at the same time very smooth looking. When you open this app up for the first time you will be asked to register with the TapBase website. Some may see this as an intrusion of privacy but what it’s for is the social aspect of the app, and all they ask is for an email address and password.

Full StoryArtStudio – iPhone App Review
ArtStudio ($3.99) Version – 1.1 REVIEW – “An app that will wet the appetite of any budding artist!” I have downloaded many “paint-like” apps in the past. Some of them have been pretty fun, but very few if any have managed to be easy enough to use for actual artwork. ArtStudio is an app that not only is easy to use, but has a depth that will satisfy the appetite of even the most particular artists! Some of the artwork that has already been created with this app is quite remarkable, and at the same time the interface itself is simple enough for children to use! When you open the app the first thing you’ll see is a quick overview of what you’ll find in the app. This screen only shows up the first time you open the app and once you get past it you’ll be presented with a blank canvas! The interface is amazingly intuitive. If you touch in the upper left corner the app will perform an “undo” and if you touch the upper right corner it will “redo.” If the menu bar is hidden touching the arrow in the lower right corner will open the menu back up on the bottom of the screen. The menu itself is extremely simple. There are 7 different options that include everything from different “brush” styles to image effects and even a “lesson” area where you can actually learn to draw through an interactive tutorial! The truly great thing is that while it is easy to touch these menu buttons and access your different “brushes,” colors and even “layers” if you touch and hold on any of those buttons it will bring up an advanced menu with all kinds of customizations! I never thought I’d see the day that I was using my iPhone to create and manage “layers” and even create transparency! The brush customization is equally amazing. It not only allows you to control the size of your brush strokes, but the type, shape, fade in and out and even the opacity of them! Also included in this menu is an easy to use “smudge” brush to blend colors together! With the depth of tools available in this app wouldn’t it be great to be able to touch up your photos without transferring them to your desktop? Well you can because this app includes quick and easy import and export features. You can even send out pictures directly via email if you like! Even if you’re not an amazing artist, it’s easy to improve your photos with the built in effects such as “Blur,” “Sharpen,” “Black White,” and even “Emboss”! With all the great features and the smooth integration of this app it really is hard to find downfalls. One thing I did notice though is that there is no way I can see of drawing with shapes like in a lot of other paint programs. If you want to draw a circle, or a rectangle you’re just on your own with this app. With that said, most serious artists probably would not use those tools very much anyway. More likely they would be using the more advanced brush strokes and the blur capability to shape their drawings All things considered this app is probably the best art/photo related app that I have used on my iPhone. The developer has done an excellent job of adding lots of in depth features and customization, while at the same time still making it simple enough for anyone to use. Whether you are a serious student of art, or you just want a good tool to touch up your photos with, I would highly recommend ArtStudio. So what are you waiting for? Grab it for just $3.99 in the App Store today! - David H
