February App Store Spotlight
February 5, 2009
Every month I like to put some of the best apps in the App Store in the spotlight and let you know how good they are. I am going to talk about my opinion, an entertainment app, a productivity app, a game, and a cool utility.
Opinion: Lite Apps
In this month’s opinion section, I am going to talk about how I feel about lite editions of apps. A lite app is basically an app that is free and that it has less features than the full version. I think this is a great idea since Apple doesn’t offer any way to be able to offer a free trial for apps. I love to use these to try apps for free before I buy, since I am not as rich as Bill Gates.
Entertainment: Sportacular
In this month’s entertainment section, I decided that in honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers won the big game, i would do a sports app. I have chosen Sportacular since this is what I used to track the score for most of the game since I am not much of a American football fan. Get it in the App Store for free today!

Productivity: Ultimate Todos
This is truly great for organizing all of your to-dos with great detail. You can add contexts, contacts that are related, notes and a lot of other things. I am still playing with this so I can’t say much more but so far I am loving it. It is available in the App Store for free at the time of this post.

Games: Topple
In my game review for this month, I want to review a great game that I love to play in my spare time. It is basically a game where you have to stack a group of objects on top of each other as high as you can to get to a goal line in a limited amount of time. Sounds easy, right? WRONG! The difficult part is that pieces fall of if they are not stacked right. If three fall, you lose. Also, if you tilt your iPod or iPhone, the pieces start to tilt to the side and start to fall. This game is free in the App Store.

Utilities: RemotePad
I love to use this great app. Do you want to know why? I can use this app to control my computer from any room of my house. It is basically a touchpad that works by WiFi and what I love is that it is free and open source. It could use a built in keyboard but so far a great app. DISCLAIMER: Apple reviewed the app but most likely didn’t open the computer software.
