I should be in bed.

I should be in bed right now, but I wanted to do something I haven't done for a while [Draw a comic?] it is, review iPhone apps. I bought a few apps over the weeks, and yeah.

Qik Video:

Qik Video is a video application for those with a 2G/3G and even 3Gs'ers. It tapes at 15FPS [alot better then my old application "iVideo Camera"] and adds effects too. It has Zoom, Black and white, Black and white [with red], Blue skin, Negative and many more. I didn't think it would be a big improvement over iVideo Camera, but it's alot smoother, and only a few frames slower then the iPhones video recording.

Qik Video: 4.5/5* $2.49

Riddim Ribbon:

For all those Tap Tap lovers, or iPhone app followers, you will know what this app is. It was only released today and already number 14 on the "Top 25" paid app list, but I guess being from Tapulous, it will be popular no matter what.
When I first heard about Riddim Ribbon, I thought it would be a good game for a day. The first time I booted it up, and tried it out, I hated it; it might've been my mindset at the time [headache] but I got out of it immediatly. A few minutes later I gave it a second chance, and I liked it. It's not my favourite game but...anywho. The basis of this game is to tilt your iPhone left and right to keep the ball on the track, and keep the song going. It's racing crossed with Tap Tap, with a bit of DJ Hero chucked in.
For a DJ heavy game, I feel they could've made something better, but I guess they just wanted a DJ game, and just copied any game from the app store.
What app did they copy?

Riddim Ribbon: 3/5* $3.99

Rhythm Racer:

Rhythm Racer is alot like Riddim Ribbon [or the other way around] except without the good music, and alot more annoying. Where Riddim Ribbon has a track to follow, Rhythm Racer has 5 tracks with random ball interspersed [like Tap Tap] The lack of track makes it harder to navigate the track, and it feels to strong for tilting. I didn't even make it through one game [where Riddim Ribbon, I completed 5 games today] I will say tho, it is not an app I will delete. I will keep it on to vs. my cousin later, but if you want a good DJ/Race/Tap Tap app, go for Riddim, but if you want a free app, well go Rhythm.

Rhythm Racer: 2/5* Free

Foursquare:

Foursquare is a social network app where you "check in" to where ever you are and get points and badges. Now, being a homebody with no friends, this app isn't that great for me. I think I have "checked in" to my house 7 times (once a day) in hopes of becoming it's Mayor.
I will eventually get my sister, her boyfriend, my cousin, my other cousin, my aunt etc. etc. who has an iPhone to download the app to get a better feel, but for now

Foursquare: 3/5* Free

On a somewhat related note, the GPS on my phone is shot, and it shows me in the same place no matter where I am. Right now it says I am 1.9 KM from my house, so yeah, somethings up with my iPhone.

Oh, and an app I reccomend to download [it's free] is Flood-It 2. A fun little puzzle game.

Until the next time I'm bored
