Meh

  • App review for Campyre

Slow and visually lacking, this is a bare bones solution for users of 37 Signals chat client Campfire. It can partially get the job done if on the road but otherwise it just highlights the need for an official application to be released.

Bookworm Heaven

Although it remains buggy even after shedding the "beta" tag, it functions well enough to be a workhorse for listening to all your downloaded books. It pulls in the users entire Audible library making all of the titles downloadable. It also incorporates some cool perks such as total listening time and even badges for accomplishments to add a game aspect. Worth the download if you are an Audible member or for those looking to start listening to audiobooks.

Nifty

Great for burning some time just looking up some stats. I find myself using it more and more for learning random facts on the go, worth the download for the free version. Also it is really well designed and is very polished, a nice plus.

Nifty for Travel

Great for travel or indecisive groups, a few features away from being a "must have" when compared to Yelp or Google's new app, Places. Worth a shot in any case.

Great application for getting your daily news. Killer feature is the ability to create custom playlists of news on the go.

I was a Sudoku Virgin

My youngest SON figured it out. This version taught me and I may not be ready to try any in pen, I feel confident I could actually finish one now!

Simply perfect

Nothing other than what it says and bright enough to help you see what you need. Nuff said!

needs a US version

or an option to change currency. Pretty helpful for a rough estimate of the money you could save by switching to CFLs.

has the answers to everything

Just a front for the website (which knows everything) but the included special keys keyboard is a nice addition.

better than the real sky

I live in the city so the lights drown out where the stars should be. Even when you've got a big beautiful sky infront of you, you can't beat having star names at your fingertips.

Live Radio on the GO!

I have tried online radio streaming apps on phones since windows mobile and none have ever matched this one! I have to say it's even easier to streaming music than it is on my computer! I love the fact that it's appealing, its intuitive, saves favorites by pressing a cool + circle shaped button and my most favorite feature TAGS! When you like the track that it's playing just press TagMe button and it saves the track information! than I just later go and get it via other means :P

I think this potentially can replace your satellite radio, if you have one... :P It did for me! :)

Goofy fun

I got this app a while ago and it's good for a little bouncing-cow-alien break once in a while. Fun to play and simple (just tilt the phone to move the bouncing cow) but hard to beat! I'm not a huge video/computer game fan, but a round of Abduction is exactly what I need sometimes.

Great app, love the scanner

I love this app. I have a big library and desperately needed a complete listing somewhere. Scanned 350+ books already, very quickly using the barcode scanner. Export to CSV requires the paid version, $1.99 as of this writing.

Cons: It often misidentifies older barcodes, the only saving grace being that the older codes usually mistranslate into one of a half-dozen titles. Not a big deal for me.

Quick

Quick and fast. Tried it on an item I didn't think it would find. Found it in less than 5 seconds. Would highly recommend this App.
