Well, since I have totally lost hope in the upcoming jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS 3.1.3, I am now in charge of the App Review department, and the next app is, “The Dog.” This app is what you think it is, you start off from a choice of five dogs, Beagle, Yorkshire Terrier, Boxer, Labrador, and a German Shepherd, in my case, a Boxer. The dog variety is not so great, and I’m hoping they’ll add more choices in the next update, but hey, you never know what’s in the next update. You start off with the basics, training the dog, buying food, and how to take it for a walk. One thing that is really confusing is the white backround, I mean, everything is white! You have a floating couch in the middle of NO WHERE! That’s one big thing that they should change, but probably won’t happen. The Dog, in my opinion, is not so entertaining, well, I’m a guy, maybe some 8 year old girls will enjoy it, but not some dude. I’ll say one thing though, walking the dog is pretty fun. The graphics in this game are great, but they’re also a bit choppy. In “The Dog,” I have learned a few ways to treat a dog, which I think was helpful in some way. My opinion is that I think this game can have a bit more variety, all I do is feed my dog, take him for a walk, put him to bed, and then it’s all over again, but sometimes there’s a twist. Since I’m an ex-owner of a cat, I’m not a fan of dogs, I’m just waiting for “The Cat.” This app sells for $4.99 in the App store.

As you know I updated my 3GS to 3.1.3, which updates the bootloader, modem firmware, etc, thus, having no jailbreak for about a month. *smacks self.* So here’s my APPSTORE application review, because I have no other choice. (Not really). iDroid Mini is the Android web browser, for the iPhone. I’m still wondering what the HELL was going through Apples mind when they approved something BETTER than something the iPhone comes with, I mean really, it’s two times faster than the Safari browser, and I timed them both to go to iPwnAge.com, and the time Safari took was 6 seconds, and the time iDroid Mini took was 3 seconds, you can clearly tell the difference. iDroid Mini lacks one thing, which is history. I mean, I can go back, but I really wanna see my history. I’m actually glad I found a Safari replacement. No offense to Apple, but that’s the worst browser known to man. One feature about iDroid Mini that I LOOOOOVVVVEEE is that you can turn off landscape mode! I can now surf the web in bed!! You can also preview tabs, while you’re doing something else, just like that preview feature in Windows Vista & 7. One really annoying thing about this though, is that you can’t save a browsing feature. If I get a notification, and quit the app, then you will return to find everything lost. Boohoo. I am, looking forward to the next update. They always update it when an Android update is released. This application is currently FREE. That’s right F.R.E.E; but only until the 21st! Then it will return to it’s original price of 99 cents.

Since I was idiotic enough to update my 3GS to 3.1.3, without paying attention, I’m stuck with stock firmware for the next couple of weeks, or months (Beats himself), so for the time being, I’m doing AppStore utilities, because STEVEN IS FORCING ME TO I have no other choice. RedLaser is basically a barcode scanner, and to admit it, it is pretty darn accurate. Actually, it doesn’t scan THE barcode, but it scans the numbers at the bottom, which it always gets right. RedLaser is the perfect thing to take to the supermarket, if you’re too shy to go up to the lady and ask her to scan it, pull out your iPhone and KAPOW! Scan away, but it never tells you the sale price, so don’t expect the sale price. I spent 3 hours scanning my bathroom drawer, and then my kitchen, and it was pretty darn good, I still have my basement to go, and then, I’ll have most of my house scanned. One thing I REALLY like about this app is that it shows you where the product is available closest to you, which is really awesome. Here’s an example, I scanned an Axe can, and it gave me the correct price, and the correct kind, “Instinct.” This application sells for $1.99 on the Appstore.

The Nintendo 64, one of the BEST gaming systems of ALL TIME. The one we all got for x-mas years ago, remember? Yeah well, that same System is now on the iPhone/iTouch WITH: *drumroll* N64iPHONE!!! What this application does it that it emulates (simulates) the Nintendo 64, ON YOUR iPHONE!!! Yup. Now what this app does is that you can play ALL the Nintendo 64 games that you played when you were young, in the palm of your hand! One thing I really like about this, is that you can download ANY ROM (game) you want! It’s like a built in Installous! The file is saved to the “N64″ directory, and then when you play it, it loads! But one bad thing is, it has REALLY choppy framerate.I tested it out on a few ROMS and it didn’t change. One more thing I would change is a landscape mode, I really can’t play with my fingers hitting each other the WHOLE time, it’s kinda like a thumb war… With yourself. This app is totally worth the $2.50 I paid for, because you get FREE ROMs of your choice. But keep in mind that it’s illegal if you don’t physically own the game, (the cartridge.)
This emulator sells for $2.49 on the repository (source): http://cydia.zottd.com/repo/cydia/

Alright, so you might have seen the previous post about the “InfiniDock”, well, now this is the review. So what this app does is you have INFINITE room on your dock, pretty cool right? The way you use it is by scrolling, just like your regular home screen. This app has a lot of bugs, sometimes it can only hold 6-7 applications, the scrolling is sometimes REALLY laggy, but reinstalling that will help. Another bug I noticed is that it slows down your iDevice like shoot! I own a 3GS with a majority of space available. I had to get rid of it, reinstalling didn’t help either. But the modification had just entered the Cydia/Rock store a few days ago. So I guess it is buggy. The pros are: This app can hold an infinite number of icons, thus, less pages for you, meaning less effort to scroll, meaning your finger is…NEVER MIND. This app camouflages with your iPhone/iPod’s dock, meaning it looks like a standard 4-icon dock when it’s at the first page. So you can hide icons in the back, and people will never know!
This “tweak” sells for $0.99 (a bargain) and is available in the Cydia/Rock store now.

Ah, the year 2001. The revolutionary “iPod” was released. Thousands of units were sold, and it was heck of a product. 5 gigabytes of storage, 1000 songs, all in your pocket. It was great. And then, the iPhone, and the iPod Touch was released in 2007, and where was the click wheel? It was gone… Replaced by a capacity based touch screen. And now, you can revive those old moments by an app called, “iClassic.” What this app does is that it emulates the iPod Classic. You have the click wheel, and the whole interface. A few things this app lacks is video playback, some of the built-in games (that would be very nice) and the organization tools, such as: Calendar, timer, reminders, etc. etc. This app comes with two themes, (or should I say “colors”) black, and silver. BUT, you can get more themes on Cydia, by using WinterBoard. But other than that, this app really makes me remember my old iPod, and all that music I put on it. It was like a child to me.
iClassic sells for $2.00 in the Cydia store. This app would get a 9/10 stars, but with all of the features lacking, it loses 3 stars.

Have you ever forgot to put your iPod Touch/iPhone on silent during school, or in meetings, and then it goes off and you’re idiotically going through your pockets, trying to turn it off? Well, with 3, measly dollars, you can end these horrific events. The app is called: AutoSilent. Basically, what this app does is that it bypasses the silent switch on your iPhone, or in other words, it mutes your iPod Touch/iPhone. For example, I set the timer to 8 AM through 3PM, because those are my school hours. And it is Auto Silents job to make the iPod Touch/iPhone go into silent mode. This app is really useful for all of those forgetful people out there, and it is also useful, for basically, everyone. HOWEVER, the is one small con, sometimes, the app starts up late, 2-3 minutes late, to be exact. But it’s really not a biggie.
