My Fav 5 iPod/iPhone Apps

Apple! Now that I have your attention, I’ll begin.

iPods are first and foremost a music player. And if you have an iPhone, I guess its first and foremost a phone/music player. So, who cares about apps? I mean, I could definitely live without them, but I’d rather not. They’re like toppings on an ice cream sundae.

Keep in mind, I have an iPod touch and not an iPhone; so, I usually don’t have a wifi connection. That means my favorites don’t require an internet connection (with the exception of one). Also, it has no mic; so, I can’t T-Pain myself or play an Ocarina. Don’t worry though, this list is still awesome. In no particular order:

1. Awesome Note

There are a lot of note taking apps that are now in the App Store; there’s even a free Notes app that comes default with your iPod/iPhone.  But quite frankly, none of those other note-taking apps are as awesome as Awesome Note. With your current note-taking app, can you organize your notes into different colored folders, set due dates on your notes and use it as a To-Do list, or change the background to make it look like your typing on the Eiffel Tower? I didn’t think so. So, don’t judge me for buying this well-designed app for $3.99.

2. iPsychedelic

Don’t you hate how so many of the apps out there are just stupid and pointless? Well, This is definitely one of those apps. But after you purchase this sucka for 99 cents, you’ll have a whole new outlook on those incredibly pointless apps. It’s just a blank dark screen, but as you tap, slide, swirl your fingers across the screen, your eyes will behold a visual feast. Unleash your inner druggie and waste a couple minutes to an hour getting nothing done as you use this app. iPsychedlic, my anti-drug.

3. Football Backbreaker

I was a Madden 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008 fanatic. Managing franchises and calling plays were great, but I always enjoyed mini-camp where you were just a running back and juked/duked your way to the endzone. Save yourself 9 bucks and don’t get Madden for the iPod, get this 99 cent minigame. You have five options: juke left/right, spin left/right, or speed up to outrun your defender. As you advance wave after wave, the challenge gets harder and harder. But, you’ll find the showboat at the end for extra style points will always feel just as good.

4. QuestKnight

This is a free application and it rocks. Although, you should watch out for the rocks that fall from the sky as you battle through swarms and swarms of evil knights, evil sorcerers, and evil inanimate objects. Featuring simple controls (the circle in the bottom left is actually a joystick), smooth, good-looking graphics, and addictive gameplay. The objective is simple: go as far as right as possible without dying and button-mashing everything in your path. By the way, I own the guy in the screenshot. My high is 1232 feet. Jealous?

5. Holy Bible

The Holy Bible, by Paul Avery, is the best free Bible app out there. I mean, how sick is it to have the entire bible in the palm of one of your hands? If that’s not enough (which it is), you can take notes on each individual chapter, set bookmarks, search the entire Bible, and view the Bible in one of 9 different fonts. Who said religion was getting old? 2000 years later and Jesus Christ is still keeping up with the times. Holla!
