Awesome iPhone Apps
AKP writer Quinn Myers
We here at Ayo Kdoe Productions are tech-savvy and busy…so we want you to be too! Here are some apps, most of them are free or at least 99¢, because come on – does anyone really spend hard-earned dough on silly apps? They do? Well those people are not my friends.
.99¢
WhatsApp is basically a cross-platform messenger app that allows anyone with a smartphone to send messages, voice messages, pictures, videos and voice pictures to anyone else with a smartphone. It works the same way iPhone users send free iMessages to each other, only now they can do the same with their unfortunate (and apparently anti-apple, fanboys/hipsters?) non-iPhone using counterparts.
TempleRun
FREE
TempleRun is the latest game to catch fire, as our generation collectively alienates everyone around us, choosing to stare at our phones rather than into other people’s eyeballs. Also not choosing to pay attention in lecture and get good grades, or pay attention to the roads and “stop at a crosswalk.” Oh the game? You like, run around and collect coins, ‘n stuff. Pretty cool.
Alien Blue (Morrissey Exchange Pty Ltd)
FREE, Pro $1.99
Alien Blue is the package client for browsing Reddit. Forget about browsing anywhere else on the internet for news, sports, or pictures of cats. Instead, turn your gaze to Alien Blue and you’ll quickly be updated on anything from Jeremy Lin to J.K. Rowling’s new ‘adult’ book.
Sleep Cycle alarm clock (Maciek Drejak Labs)
.99¢
I’m not sure I trust this app, but I’m willing to give it a try. Basically you set the phone on your bed somewhere and using its gyroscopes (magic) it monitors your sleep cycles – like how much and when you toss and turn. Then, it analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you up in the lightest sleep phase (with your set alarm as the last alarm). This is a pretty good idea, unless you’re like me and wake up feeling great but then decide to sleep 20 more minutes, only to then wake up pi**ed off (or if you’re like me and totally have sex like, all the time).
$2.99
Star Walk (Vito Technology Inc.)
Finally an iPhone app that analyzes the night sky. Point your phone up in the air to see distant stars, galaxies, and constellations. Proceed to make out with nearest girl. Yes, you will have to fork out three Washington’s, but think of it as an investment…you’ll have your current phone forever.
FREE
HeyTell
The walkie talkie app! No more crampage of the fingers from texting or being long winded from a cheesy voice mail. HeyTell is convenient for short conversations in which people need to communicate frequently but the information is short. Kskkk (walkie talkie noise)
– Some we’d like to see in the near future –
Fake Text
Create an air of superiority among your immediate company, by constantly texting someone else instead of talking. People will think you have somewhere better to be, or someone better to talk to. Yay popularity!
Boat
Because when the situation calls for it, you don’t want to be caught without one – trust me. Think if everyone on the Titanic had iPhones? Well Jack would still die because he was poor.
Fart Detector
They’re making a breathalyzer, so why not a DNA reading of farts. This will match someone’s fart DNA to a number a name in your address box, giving an answer to the ageless question, “Who farted?”
