iPhone App Reviews

Having kids can sometimes be a challenge and it is not always easy to find something that gets there attention longer then 35 seconds. If you happen to have the iphone or ipod touch you might be in luck with these 5 applications that should give you some peace. Well it comes at a price, you must feel at peace to entrust your iphone 3G or ipod touch. Here is the list of 5 plus one extra applicaction that I found.

Fwerps

Fwerps like to be happy. Pet your fwerp and make it purr. They also like to be rocked to sleep. But don’t shake them too hard!

Fwerps was developed over a weekend (atiPhoneDevCamp 2) by LC Boros, Chris Radcliff, and Matt Paul, with help from iPhone, Cocoa, and Objective-C developers at the DevCamp. Once a few niggling issues with copyright and NDAs are worked out, Fwerps is planed to be released under the GPL. A first video of Fwerbs at iPhoneDevCamp 2:

If you got Flirck and you want to show your iPhone 3G pictures AirMe is the App to do it with. It’s simple, clean and makes it easier to get images online fast for others to see. Great for the latest flash mop and good for the kid’s birthday party to share online. Its free on the Apple App Store.

Scribble (free): Another app to engage the kids with in an emergency, Scribble is a simple whiteboard for coloring on with your finger.  Unhappy with a drawing, or ready to move on, just shake it like an Etch-a-Sketch, and start over.  You can save images (though not sync them or send them anywhere), or use the screen grab built into the 2.0 software to save your work of art and use it elsewhere.

Jott (free):  I’m coming back to this one, which I mentioned in my first post, just because it’s such a useful app  Hit record, and send yourself a transcribed message via email to help you keep track of things later.  And as they roll out functionality, I’m sure they’ll pull more of the phone service into the app as well – like auto-sending the transcribed messages to your blog or twitter feed or (great for parents) your Remember The Milk account.

Ambiance ($0.99): This one is purely for the mom and dad who may need to escape for a little while from the hustle and bustle.  It puts a number of those nice white-noise sounds in continuous loop so you can plug yourself in, and fade away for a while – whether it’s on the commute, or in the bedroom while the kids are blowing up the Death Star downstairs.  The loops are high quality, and range from rain to a couple different varieties of colored noise.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D ($9.99):  Let’s get the one game on this list out of the way first, because it’s a pretty obvious concept – having a game on the phone to keep the kids busy when mom or dad need to keep the distractions down.  Crash Kart is a port of the Crash Bandicoot Kart racing games made popular on the Gamecube and Wii, and it makes great use of the accelerometer in the iPhone.  Heck, I’m just waiting for someone to hack the iPhone into working as a Wiimote.  Good game for keeping the kids focused when the DS was forgotten at home.

What is your list, let me know in the comments.
