15 Apps Rendered Obsolete Because of iPhone 3G S and OS 3.0

Date June 14, 2009


I’m sure most of the world’s people were happy to hear about Apple’s new iPhone 3G S to be available on June 19th, and their upcoming iPhone OS v3.0 to be available on June 17th. But I can assure you that there are a select few people out there that are not nearly as happy-go-happy [...]

A Crap Load of Farting Apps, All of which are, Sadly, Available on the App Store

Date February 13, 2009


TUAW recently uploaded a video to YouTube, providing a sneak peek at several dozen of the ever-too-many farting applications available on the App Store. How many farting apps are there on the App Store exactly? Over 60. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Have a look at the video via YouTube by clicking here.
It’s safe to say that my [...]

Frapstr Digest II: Nov. 1-8, 2008

Date November 9, 2008


There’s no doubt about it.  The App Store has exploded.  In the early days, for the first couple of months, I was able to keep up.  It was a challenge sometimes, keeping up with all the new freebies, but I managed it every few days.  But it has picked up more and more, and I [...]

Frapstr Digest: October 2008 In Review

Date November 2, 2008


A few weeks back I had planned to start doing weekly digests of the previous week of releases on Frapstr, the Free App Store Review.  Partly to maintain a connection to its original home, but also to bring some cool stuff (and some crap stuff) to those who may not know about Frapstr or don’t [...]

The Free App Store Review XIX: Lost in the Parking Lot of Life

Date September 27, 2008


Yep. We’re back again. Frapstr celebrated its 18th by getting smashed off its face and ending up two miles out in the Nevada desert with no memory of the preceeding events, and the only clues being an empty bottle of MD 20/20 in one hand, a rider’s crop in the other, and the [...]

The Free App Store Review XVIII: Frapstr Becomes a Man

Date September 19, 2008


Welcome to another edition of the Free App Store Review, the free app roundup that features the latest, the greatest, the worst, and the indifferent of the freebies that can be yours from Apple’s fine online marketplace, served with a side of accolades and lashings of spicy snark sauce.  Today, the Free App Store Review [...]

The Free App Store Review XVII Special Edition: The Cool and the Crap

Date September 14, 2008


Alright. I’m not even going to try and make any pretense of keeping up. The App Store has sprinted ahead of me, so I’m just going to take a shameless shortcut in order to get ahead of it and spread some caltrops across the road behind me by saying bugger the whole “chunk” [...]

The Free App Store Review XVI: Chunk the First: Late to the Party

Date September 6, 2008


In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m late. Quite late. No, the Free App Store review hasn’t disappeared, there’s just been a combination of a lot on my plate and not enough sleep to energize me to the point where I was able to deal with it all. With the contest wrapping up, [...]

The Free App Store Review XV: Dinner and a Movie

Date August 29, 2008


Yes, things have been a bit slow around here — not that the world of iPhone and iPod Touch news has been slow by any means, but with Jody currently being away, Adam having only just gotten back from a whirlwind west-coast tour, and me having my head stuck in the creation of the Snapture [...]

The Free App Store Review XIV: Sorry I’m Late, I Was Stuck in a Traffic Cam

Date August 21, 2008


Y’know what I like about the iPhone 3G? I can download apps on the go and play with them without having to be at home. That, and I can point and spit snark at the ones I don’t like without disturbing my wife. It’s a tremendous time saver, even if the people [...]

The Free App Store Review XII: Deus Ex Machina

Date August 12, 2008


Well now, that’s more like it. I was beginning to worry that the tide of freebies had slowed to a trickle, but it seems it was merely a temporary lull, because we’re back in full force with another chunky vat of fresh freebie slurry cascading down the sluice for y’all. (And the award [...]

The Free App Store Review XI: The Wisdom of Light Sabers

Date August 10, 2008


Well shave my yak if it isn’t time for another freebie roundup. It seems the last few days have been a wee bit slow in that department, with only a baker’s dozen new titles to plow through, which means I might actually finish this roundup in a respectable amount of time. Oddly, there’s [...]

The Free App Store Review X: Trials and Tribulations

Date August 7, 2008


Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is?? Seriously, my watch broke. Well, never mind that, because we’ve got a piping hot batch of new freebies right from the compiler for your perusal, and this edition’s theme seems to be trials — as in, playable demos, or [...]

iPhone Nano for Christmas?

Date August 5, 2008


And you thought this season’s rumour mill would only be churning out iPod news. Turns out, sources are suggesting that Apple is cooking up an extra little surprise for the upcoming holiday season. And by little, I mean nano. iPhone Nano.
We’ve heard this one before — dating back more than a year, in [...]
