AeroScap Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I just use YAK. Seems to do the same thing.... Also, all contracts now offer infinite texts so is this best for pay as you go types? Ahh the thing is with whatsapp you dont need any ID. Anyone that has it is automatically shown up!! and as far as I can tell Yak is only for iphone whereas Whatsapp is for blackberry as well! so you can spam your BB friends plus it just has more functions like contact sharing, location sharing, custom backgrounds, custom notifications, push notifications, 2 min soundbites can be shared as well as pictures from camera roll and camera. It's really only good if you have a decent internet bolt on, i.e. not paying per mb. Then you should be fine! Good if you always contact one person or just chat crap to another or likes sharing photos without paying through the nose for mms! ----------- Also recommend FlightTrack Pro - for anyone takes planes or knows people that takes them. Tracks the flight, gives you delay statistics, weather forecast, boarding notifications and taking off landing etc (Almost the national rail app) very nice
Daft Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) Hmmm, sort of sounds tempting. My twitter feed is basically websites and topics I like which just links articles, I'm a bit worried it'll be a flashier version of that. But if it's cheap, it doesn't hurt! Cheers! Just downloaded it, it is just an rss feed. Annoyingly, most of the ones I put don't have images so pretty dull... I don't qute get how to add your own. Seems you just search and it finds ones for you.... I might try adding some to google reader (which I dont have) and see if that makes it easier The sites I have on it are kind of bloggy like Kotaku, io9, BoingBoing, engadget, Gizmodo, SkySport (although no pics), the Playstation Eu blog and Boston Big Picture. Before I had apps for Kotaku and engadget and hasd to actually check the sites for the other ones so it's pretty good for me. It's kind of weird how some have pictures and some don't. Anyone got the Hipstamatic app? I think it's my favourite. I bought all the extra lenses and the photos just look slick. Only gripe is it takes a bit too long to develop the high quality option photos. Overall, it is amazing. Pretty much blows any compact camera out of the water as far as I'm concerned.

McPhee Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Have you tried flixster app? Just wondered why Movies Now is be better than it (it's free), if so then definite buy! Never tired it. The iPad version of Movies Now was on one of Gizmodo's Apps of the Week lists recently and it sounded cool so I picked up the iPhone version.
dazzybee Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Is that hipstamatic awesome then? Tempted by it though I only have a 3G currently (not for long) do you think it will still be worth it or shall I wait? What makes it so good? Does it take amazing photography or is it a bit gimmicky?
Caris Posted July 14, 2010 Author Posted July 14, 2010 I got it the other day and it's one of the best apps I've ever bought.
Shorty Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I was surprised by Hipstamatic, I didn't expect the pictures to look as good as they do. On 3G it will probably be good as long as you're taking pics in great light.
Daft Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Yeah, I've had SO much fun with Hipstamatic. Definitely a killer app for me. I even bought all the extra lenses and flashes (Couldn't resist for 59p). The photos look amazing and you can get them in high quality (although they do take a fair amount longer to print, which is kind of annoying). You might aswell also get Polarize since it's free. I love turning photos into Polaroids and tagging them (allows you to write something up to 14 characters long on the large white bit at the bottom of the picture - labelling photos is pretty fun). These two apps a so slick. TV Guide is out for iPad, looks amazing. Got that on my iPhone (and used it on my Touch before). Really solid app and looks great since it's been updated for the new screen. Edited July 15, 2010 by Daft
Daft Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 THANK YOU!!! My sister told me to get this app yesterday but for the life of me I could not remember what the Hell it was called. I've got Scrabble (which I love), though.
dazzybee Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 What's words with friends? I guess it's like Scrabble!
That Guy Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Got to say, been using Pulse for a while now and I'm not really feeling it. The thing is, so many of the feeds have no photos and for a lot of them i have to tap a link to read the whole story, in an 'in app' web browser. Sure I could just go to the web page in safari if I had to do that. Plus I'm waiting ages for the feeds to update, and then for the story to load. I think the Engadget app was actually faster than this, so I'm considering moving back.
McPhee Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I didn't like it much either. Runs horribly on the 3G.
Daft Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Helsing's Fire is ace. 59p, everyone should pick it up.
McPhee Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Good to hear! Saw it on Giz on Thursday, looked good so I bought it. Not got around to trying it yet tho.
Raining_again Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Cookie dozer. Its free so you all better download it. Also: Coin dozer is the more classic version and has more prize upgrades. (think back to the 2p machines in the arcade, with the moving platform. Its basically that.)
Dyson Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Coin Dozer is amazing. I had previously completed it by getting all the prizes but they updated it today so now I have to go back and get two of every item. FML

I had previously completed it by getting all the prizes but they updated it today so now I have to go back and get two of every item. FML hahaha yes! x5 more times! Cookie dozer is basically the same as coin dozer, except you have to collect 6 "prizes" instead of 4. And its got cookies and cakes instead of coins and prizes :3
Dyson Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Yeah I got bored with Cookie Dozer for some reason. Coin Dozer ftw <3
Daft Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I've decided Hipstamatic alone validates getting an iPhone (4). It's so slick. I've had so much fun with it.
Will Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I've decided Hipstamatic alone validates getting an iPhone (4). It's so slick. I've had so much fun with it. Agreed, it's fantastic. I bought all the extras for it - a very fun app.
Ronnie Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I wonder if Daft likes Hipstamatic ? Helsing's Fire is indeed excellent
Daft Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah, sorry, that was like the 9000th time I posed about it but I want to spread the love. The Tron app is meant to be out but I can't find it.
McPhee Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Hellsing's Fire is brilliant. Anyone tried that new Star Wars game? Defence of Hoth or something?
