reQall

There are plenty of To-Do apps in the AppStore, but not too many of them are this organized and well thought out. ReQall allows you to organize all of your tasks in very easy to find ways. Simply by placing certain words in the task description, reQall will place the task in it's appropriate category. Another great feature is the voice-to-text ability. When you add a new task, you are given the option of either typing out the task, or speaking it and letting reQuall's voice-recognition software decipher your words and write it out for you. I have played with it a little bit, and it seems to work pretty well so long as you speak fairly loud and clearly. The really exciting part of this app is the ability to use push notifications! But don't get your hopes up. Just like a couple of other apps in the AppStore, in order to use the push notifications, the company is requesting that you open a payed reQallaccount for $25 a year. That seems just a tad bit ridiculous for me. In the meantime, I'm desperately waiting for any To-Do app that has FREE push notification. Nonetheless, reQall is free in the AppStore. Check it out!

Boxcar -- Twitter Push Notifications

Finally the update for Boxcar has come out and iPhone users who have been longing for push-notifications for their twitter apps have finally taken a sip of water from the fountain of twitter euphoria.

This push-notification app supports the following twitter apps for the iPhone:
Tweetie, Twitterific, Twittelator, Twitterfon Lite(Twitterfon in the App Store), Twitterfon Pro, and Twinkle. It is believed that it will support Birdfeed once Birdfeed updates their app.

In the setting portion of Boxcar, you see there are many different choices in order to personal the app. Toggle on and off direct messages and mentions. I chose to have both push notifications to me. You can also see that Twittelator is my twitter app of choice. :D And finally, the devs of Boxcar incorporated a way to thank them and make a shout out on your twiter account to them through this icon. Try it out!

This is everything I have asked for, for a developer to create a third party app that allows twitter apps to push notifications to your iPhone. And this app does it verry veryyy well. I have posted some screenshots as well so that you too can see inside of the app before you spend $1.99 for this awesome app. WARNING: this app is not meant to replace any twitter app you already use, it is merely there to enchance your twitter expierence with push-notifications to your iPhone. :D

Sports Tap

Alright guys! Here is the other sports app I promised you I would review, and this one has push-notifications! It is called (drum roll please....) Sports Tap! For push-notifications all you have to do is go the the little wi-fi looking icon in the app. So far the app only offers push for MLB and the CFL. But this should be expanding with the football season on the horizon.
In addition to push, this app has a really cool feature called localtap. Tap the localtap icon in the app on the bottom right of the screen and you will be shown a screen in which you can break down the search by 50 miles, 100 miles, or 200 miles. This is great if you are new to a city and want to find the nearest sporting event or if you want to head to a college sporting event with the family and you are not which school is the closest.
Like Sportacular, you too can search games by date in this app, going all the way to the beginning of the season. Please check out this app in the App Store. It is FREE. Personally I still use Sportacular as my all the time sports app, but this is a great addition to any sports fan with the much needed and appreciated push-notifications.
