Waterslide Extreme

This is the #1 Purchased (FREE) game in the App Store right now. Waterslide Extreme is the name, and riding water slides in a seated position while grabbing power ups and collectibles is the game! This game is kind of fun. Not my favorite game at all. The controls are finicky and the graphics are fuzzy at best. The rider is difficult to control because all controls are through tilting the iPhone or iPod Touch and making the rider slide side to side.
The things you are collecting reminds me of the Sims game. You need to collect bright green diamonds along the path and the more you collect, the bigger the final bonus is. I really do not have that much to say about this app, other than that I really should not be complaining about it. Why, you ask? Because it is FREE! Check out Waterslide Extreme for yourself in the App Store! :D

iSlots

~~My First Review from Las Vegas, Nevada~~

iSlots is a slots based game. That's it. I wish I could say there's more to this game, but when you open the app, you are bombarded with a crude rendering of a slot machine. You start of with 100 "credits" which you can start betting. Then, by pressing the "Start" button, the slots begin. The rest is obvious, you either win or lose. There's a $0.99 version but also a free one and it's a good thing it's free because I would have been highly disappointed had I payed any real American dollars for this.

Tipstar

Tipstar is a great little app for computing the tip and bill at the end of a meal out on the town. We all have had the situation where we get the bill and ask around the table, how to figure out the tip. Then everyone pulls out there phones are try to figure it out on one of those silly calculators. Others suggest just double the tax, or just leave your wallet, "That should cover it all!" Tipstar is the app for getting rid of all the guessing and headaches.
Just open up Tipstar. Up will pop the numerical keyboard where you will type in the total amount of the bill. Press continue, and then the Service Quality will come up. There are four options: Excellent (20%), Good(18%), Acceptable(15%) and Other(choose your own %). The next screen will be the "Party Size" and that is where you decide how many people you want to split the bill with. And finally the next screen will show show the Total, the Total with the tip, and then the Grand Total. It also tells you how much each member of the party has to pay, which is great when you are out on the town with a bunch of friends.
Overall I like Tipstar! It is my favorite Tip Calculator and use it religiously. The only thing that I would like to see added to this app is the themes. I think it would be cool to have more skins or colors to go along with the calculator. I know there are all those Tip apps out there that are all fancy and expensive, but this is the perfect app. It does what you want it to do. It does it very well. And it is FREE! Check out Tipstar in the App Store!

Koi Pond

Its always fun to go to the Japanese Garden's and feed the fish, have a picnic, and walk around, but what if it is raining, or you don't leave near San Jose, California? Then boy do the Blimp Pilot's of have an app for you. It is called Koi Pond.
It is a very relaxing app if you ever need to calm down or just watch some beautiful fish swim around on your iPhone screen. It also has some really cool features which allow you to interact with the fish.
-Shake the iPhone to feed the Koi
-Tap the screen and watch all the Koi swim away scared, hiding off the screen and under lilly pads
-Hold your finger on the screen and watch the fish come up and nibble on your finger! You can really feel it
Along with these interactive features, the guys at Blimp Pilots also added some different color schemes for your water: blue, green, brown, and aqua. Along with that, you can choose to have zero Koi, one Koi, two Koi, or five Koi inhabit your Koi Pond. Same goes for the lilly pads. Do you want glassy pond, or a pond filled with greenery and other critters.
In the newest update, noises were added. There are thunder, a hawk cawwing, the sound of the wind, a frog croaking, and insects buzzing. Add them all at once for a tropical oasis. This is a great iPhone app for relaxing and just spending some quality time with your iPhone. I constantly use it and enjoy playing with the Koi fish, poking them, and feeding them. Check out Koi Pond for $0.99 in the App Store! :D

iChalky

Ever been sitting in a doctor's office and a pretty cool song with an awesome beat comes on, and you start tapping your foot, and then your fingers, and then all of a sudden you are belting out the song whilst serenading the receptionist? Ya, me too! Well then this fun, quirky app is for you. iChalky is a great app for a little entertainment. He uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to dance the night away to the song Dancing in the Moonlight, by King Harvest, my personal favorite, or any other song your device picks up! :D And he uses the microphone to pick up the song and dance in rhythm to the song.
There are a few added features that were added with the update. Now you can take a picture of anything or anyone and make it the head on your little chalky buddy. It is fun to put your own head on the guy and watch him dance around to your favorite song. You are also able to pin your little guy anywhere on his body. This makes for a lot more fun. Throw him around by shaking your iPhone and watch him snap back to the pin! And also, in the settings you are able to change the sensitivity of the microphone, how springy he is, and how much friction there is between the walls and chalky. This is great for lots of laughs. If you want to check out iChalky, get your copy for $0.99 in the App Store! :D

JellyCar

This has got to be one of the best iPhone or iPod Touch games I have ever played. @mhelvey brought this game to me attention when I first got my iPhone. In JellyCar, try and drive your squishy car though the squishy worlds as you try and reach the exit of the level. And just so you know, you are being timed! A really cool feature is that you can tap your jellycar and it will grow bigger to assist you in getting pass obstacles with large openings or if you want to go quickly over little bumps.
This game is played through the iPhone/iPod Touch's accelerometer by using simple tap and tilt combinations. This game also features 28 different levels that span 3 difficulties: easy, medium, and hard. Try and build your way up until you are able to conquer the worlds easily. I am warning you, this game is not easy, but its fun and challenging.
This game was voted as the 2008 Best Kids Game in the Best App Awards. Try it out yourselves and let us know what you think of this great game for all ages! :D Get JellyCar for FREE in the App Store today! :D

Rope N' Fly

We have all wanted to fly through the air like Spiderman, and now there is an app for that too! It is called Rope N' Fly. It is a game that uses a variety of finger touches and the iPhone or iPod Touch's accelerometer. The user interface is very basic with the home screen only having three options: Play, Options, and Help.
If you tap Play you will be taken to a screen that shows all the different game modes. There is endless play, which is a neverending city. See how far you can swing! And there is also a 30 second timed level, which tests your ability to swing fluently and launch yourself the furthest the quickest.
I love that the developer decided to make a lite version and a paid version. This really allows the iPhone user to play with the game, and test it out before he or she decides to purchase it.
Personally, the more I play the game, the more I enjoy it. It is hard to play at first, and it takes a little bit of getting used to to get the swinging down.
I really reccommend this game to all fans that love playing games on his or her iPhone. Definetely check out the Lite version first, and if you love it that much! Get the paid verision of Rope N' Fly for $0.99 in the App Store! :D

Harbor Master Ep 3 -- Smugglers' Reef

Ahoy Matey! Arrgg. Welcome aboard the ZV Enterprise. Arrg, Hopper, swab the poop deck, or ye will walk the plank! I have taken over this here vessel and claimed it for the pirates of the high open watarss. It was on route to the orange dock but I here nabbed it right before they reached the dock. Last update had me and me boys hijackin' ships, and now this one has a whole new twist...Hey it's Vince, im back. Just got untied from the sail. They were holdin' me captive until i gave them $0.99 for this app. Guess they lost it in the high waters.
Just wanted to do a quick review on Harbor Master's newest update! It is Smugglers' Reef. This game is created by Imangi Studios and they crank out updates every few weeks or so, with each one being better than the previous. And this one did not disappoint.
In this update the developers created a whole new map for the players to play on. It is called Smugglers' Reef and it has a whole new task at hand. Getting the boats to each dock is still the goal. But the trick this time is that each boat may be carrying a package for each dock. The two dock colors are purple and orange. This added feature makes this game alot more challenging. FYI: It does not matter which shipment you drop off first. Good luck with this new update! Hope you enjoy this Booty! Pick it up in the App Store for a shiny $0.99. All updates are free! : D

iSoda

Imagine this scenario: You are sitting around at a party, people keep going to the cooler getting drinks, and bringing it back to your little circle where you are all talking about having a great time. You decide you need something to quench your thirst after all the dancing you have been doing. You unlock your iPhone, tap an app you were looking for and start downing 12oz of soda right from your phone! People start staring at you and soon enough you are the life of the party! Now, of course it doesnt quite work like that, but you will turn some heads when people around see you pop open a can of iSoda.
iSoda is one of those fun apps, but they definitely get old after a while. A few updates have tried to cure this, but only by adding new "flavors"/drinks and some new features.
Some of the new drinks include: Cola, Lime, Water, Energy, and Mouthwash.Each drink is a different color.
Some of the features include, a toggle for drink noise, which is a belch, sounds of pouring the glass, an option to refill your glass, make your water fizzy, and a practical joke where it looks like you are actually paying for the drink.
I have owned this game since I have had my iPhone, and it is fun to pull out every once and a while to show people, but it does get old. The price is a little steep for a drink you can't really drink. If you would like you can download iSoda for $2.99 in the App Store. :D

Wallpaper Sticky Notes

Wallpaper Sticky Notes is one of those apps that you are either going to love or you are going to love hating it. It is a very simple app that does one thing, but it does do it very well. If you have ever wanted to make a to-do list and make it the wallpaper on your iPhone this is a great app just for that. Basically you open up the app and tap in the center of the sticky note. A keyboard will pop up on the screen and this is where you input the text or in my case, a shout out to @manolosavi, the dev for this app.
After you have finished inputting your text, tap the "done" icon and the keyboard will go away. From here you then press and hold for a second, the home button and the hold button at the same time. The screen will flash and this will signal that a screen shot has been taken. From there, go to your photo album and select to use that picture as your wallpaper for your iPhone!
This is a great iphone app if you are super organized like I am and always want to have your to do list on hand. Although I really like the app, I think the price of $0.99 is too much at the moment. I can't wait for some new features to come out in the next update, like new colored tacks, and papers. I would also like to see a feature so that you can change the type of paper you use to different styles. If one or maybe a couple of those were implemented into the app, it would really be worth it! :D Also, maybe another way to sell downloads more is to make the App FREE for different events/promotions.
