TapScanner – 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 StoryiOverTheNet – iPhone App Review
iOverTheNet ($1.99) Version – 1.1.1 REVIEW – “Fast paced volleyball action on your mobile device!” There are tons of apps available in Apple’s App Store, but unfortunately it’s not always that easy to find a game that feels new and is a lot of fun, but this game does just that! While there have been lots of sports games in the App Store, there have been very few volleyball games. This game takes you right into the action as you travel the world competing in beach volleyball! The game loads quickly and takes you to a main menu screen. The background music here is descent, typical upbeat sports music. It does get a little old after a while, but is also easy to turn off by either putting your device on vibrate or by turning it off in the “Setup” menu. There are a couple of other options available here like the ability to change the camera view and your player name. One thing that I think a lot of people will notice quickly is that there is only one difficulty setting. The reason that I think people will notice it is that this game is very difficult when you first start playing it. I would highly recommend that everyone check out the tutorial video that is available because it does a good job of visually illustrating how the controls work. Without the video it is definitely not easy to figure out. Once you are ready to get started there are two modes of play. “Single Game,” and “World Tour.” In the single game mode you get to choose a city to play in and your opponent, while in the world tour you will play several games, moving from place to place and playing different opponents. You’ll notice that there are quite a few teams to choose from and even more destinations to play at.
Full StoryIdea Stimulator – iPhone App Review
Idea Stimulator ($0.99) Version – 2.0 REVIEW – “Download this app to help get your ideas flowing!” Every one of us find ourselves stumped for ideas at one time or another. What do you do when you have writer’s block, or are having trouble deciding what to do next? How about trying a few simple exercises designed to get your creative juices flowing? Idea Stimulator is an app that is designed to help you do just that! It has a simple interface and plenty of ways to help you stimulate your brain and get things done! There are two versions of Idea Stimulator. One is free and has a few tips to help you out, but the full version with over 100 ways to help stimulate your mind is just $0.99! The apps themselves are extremely simple. When you open up Idea Stimulator you’ll see a list of different ways to help get your brain working. You can either select one from the list manually, or touch the “Trigger” button just below the list to have it randomly select one for you and open it! Before you get started I read the information on the “info” screen by touching the button in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is designed to give you an idea of how to use the ideas in this app effectively. What it basically says is that some of the ideas may sound a little weird, but what they are designed to do is snap you out of your current thought patterns! So even if it sounds silly at least give them a chance! You’ll also find that there are several “articles” about creativity for you to read in the paid version of the app. These are quite a bit longer than just the quick idea starters, but are definitely interesting to browse through. Now I’m sure you’re thinking that you could probably find this information somewhere on the internet for free. The thing is that when you are in need of an idea do you really want to wait on a web browser while you search the internet for idea-creating tips? If you are in the business of being creative this app will more than pay for itself! If what you are looking for is a way to help your creative mind this app is an excellent investment. It manages to have plenty of good ideas on how to get your mind working while at the same time remaining so simple that it will never distract you and get you off your train of thought. I personally have already used this app a couple of times and it has been helpful. I look forward to continue using it in the future and you should too. At least check out the free version, it’s free! so what are you waiting for? It’s waiting for you in the App Store right now! - David H.
Full StoryiGovernment – iPhone App Review
iGovernment ($1.99) Version – 1.0 REVIEW – “A great way to keep your eye on what big brother is up to!” Today I’m proud to be bringing you an app that will allow you to keep up with what’s going on in all aspects of the US government! iGovernment gives you access to information via RSS feeds on all kinds of things from breaking news to individual areas of government such as the courts, defense and the treasury. If you’re at all politically minded be sure to stick around and check the end of this review to see how you can have a chance to win a free copy of this app! When you open up iGovernment you’ll start out on the “News” page the first time. This page will have some general headlines and breaking news about what’s going on currently. Touching any of the stories will take you to a full screen view of that story with a simple menu at the top of the screen. You can scroll through the story and read it or you can quickly and easily skip to another story using the arrows in the menu at the top, open the story on its full page in Safari or send a link to it out on Twitter! The browser interface is very smooth and works well. If there are links in the post that you are viewing, touching them will open them up from within the app instead of opening Safari, which is nice. Another great thing is that if you click any links within the document it will load the mobile version of the site if one is available. This helps the pages to load much more quickly than if you were viewing the full website, and makes the look and feel of the app much cleaner! At the bottom of the screen you’ll notice a menu with several different options. The ones that will start here by default are “Pictuers,” “Videos,” and “Search.” These default buttons can be switched out with any of the other categories that you will find when you click on the “More” option in the bottom right corner. Here you’ll find pages dedicated to the White House, Congress, the Courts, Defense, and a whole host of other areas in government! In the upper right corner of the “More” screen is an “Edit” button. Touching this button will bring up a page full of different main pages that you have to choose from. From this screen you can then touch and drag any four icons that you want into the default menu bar at the bottom of the screen! Is health care of particular interest to you? How about the Treasury or Energy? Whatever your interest may be it is simple to put them just one click away with this app! Probably my favorite feature, although I did like the bulk and quality of the stories available, is the video that comes in this app. The videos are mostly from Youtube but are so well integrated into the app that you would never even notice it. It’s the things like this that really make this app feel like a premium app, it just works! Now I’m sure that a lot of people have skimmed through to get to the part where I mention getting this great app for free, am I right? Well if this is an app that interests you then all you have to do is two things to enter! (1) Follow me on Twitter at Twitter.com/iHayward. This is to make it easier for me to contact the winners when the contest is over. (2) The second thing is that you need to tweet the following message, “@iHayward Win a free iGovernment app for iPhone and iPod Touch and experience the easiest way to keep up on the issues!-“. That’s it! I will go through all the entries and select the winners next week, Thursday the 11 th . In the mean time feel free to read through the review and comment with any questions that you might have! - David H.
