Here’s the latest crap APPS I’ve recently loaded:
The latest screen shot
There are a few “Nerd APPS” that include some video editors, spreadsheets and notebooks. For local apps I have CSU Mobile, BoNi 2012 and the State Farm Pocket Agent (Apparently if I get into an accident and I have my iPad with me, I can take pictures of the damage and send it directly to my insurance agent in real time). Cool.
Some Detail of choice APPS
Top Left: “The Act” is a high quality animated cartoon that you can modify by swiping the screen at the proper moment to cause hilarious results. Originally developed as an arcade style game by a company that went under, it has now been revamped for the iPad. Loads o’ fun. I think I’ll keep this one.
Top Right: “Spy vs Spy”. We’ve reviewed some of Peter Kuper’s works here and so this copy of Mad Magazine’s “Spy vs Spy” APP seemed appropriate. The animation is old style game-like and it’s a bit hard to figure out how to 1) pick up various weapons and 2) use them effectively on the other “evil” spy. This APP my be short lived.
Bottom Left: From Morfo, a morphing APP that lets you do weird things to pictures of faces (like that of actor Kal Penn). It has some real possibilities as the animated output is easily ported to video editors and such to make special effects easy as pie. I’ll keep this one for a while.
Bottom Right: A screen shot from “Notabillity”, a note taking APP that I’m using as an experiment while I audit Brian Jone’s Physics 121 class at CSU this semester. It’s taking some time learning how to take notes with my finger, but it’s still early in the semester. With practice, it might be just the thing to replace paper based notebooks.
