It’s Monday and it’s time for another Review of my Top 5 apps. This week I have reviewed..

WordPress App, Ebay App, iBomber, Sheep Launcher and WiFiTrack…

So lets begin…

WordPress App – (Requires Data Connection and of course a WordPress Enabled Blog)

The WordPress App is a must for all anyone running a WordPress Blog whether it be personally hosted or hosted via WordPress itself. The app gives you a simple and easy way to connect to a blog and manage posts, create posts, read, approve or delete comments and edit pages. The app is a simple way to add delete and edit content on your blog but nothing more. You can’t manage blog settings like plugins but it is a great app that will allow you to blog while your on the move!

eBay App - (Requires Data Connection)

eBay is the biggest auction website in the World and with this app designed for both buyers and sellers the whole process is made much easier. The app organises the data very well and perfectly sized for the iPhone. You are able to search for products, log into your account to manage your bids, which you can also do from the app, manage your items for sale, pay for items using the integrated Paypal support. Another great feature is the Push Support. If your watching an item or bidding on a item that is ending soon you will be notified by the push notification reminding you so you can make those last minute bids. This is a great feature as if your like me you often miss bidding on items if they end when your not at your computer! Overall install this app if you buy/sell on eBay it is a great help!

iBomber App

This next App I have is for all those iPhone gamers. iBomber is another game that fully utilises the accelerometer. The aim is to complete the missions set. You are a pilot of a plane who is required to bomb specific targets sets. You control the direction of the plane and its speed by tilting the iPhone in the direction you require to go. A Tip is to keep checking the the radar which will help you see where the enemy is! As always I try and find Apps that have a lite, free version available if the full app isn’t free and I am happy to say iBomber does have a free version with one mission which will give you a great idea of what the game is about.

Sheep Launcher App

Sheep Launcher is available as a free lite version or a 59p full version which as I just mentioned about iBomber is great for anyone not sure whether to buy the app or not. The idea of this game is to launch the sheep by hitting the “Launch” button and keep the sheep up in the air in by tapping the sheep when it begins to fall. If you miss the sheep will fall and that’s game over  but if if keep going you can get really high, even into space! It’s another one of those coffee break apps.

Wifi Track App

My Final App of this Week is a useful app for anyone who often uses Wifi on iPhone/iTouch. It’s also great for anyone who wants to set up a wireless network or troubleshoot one too! I’ll explain why… The built in Wifi finder for the iPhone/iTouch is ok but lacks some useful information and some useful features. What this app does is it shows you what sort of wifi connection is in the area around you like, WPA, WPA2, WEP etc, it also shows you the strength of the signal and what channel the signal uses which is great for setting up a Wireless network as you can make sure yours isn’t on the same channel as your neighbours which might improve the signal! The main feature I like about this app is the ability to set the app to automatically rescan for networks every 1 – 60 seconds and also alert you via a sound and/or auto connect if the signal is open and above a strength that you feel is adequate. Why would you want to constantly auto scan? Well when I was on holiday I needed a wifi signal to download an app over 10mb but couldn’t find one. So I used this app and just drove around. I didnt have to drive far and the phone alerted me it had found a Wifi Spot so i pulled over downloaded the app and was on my way. I know you are able to view lists of where some wifi spots are but in the UK many of these are wrong or missing. Overall this is a great app if you use Wifi often and well worth 59p!

So that’s another week of fantastic apps for you to try. If you have any apps you want me to check out Tweet me (@marksblog) , add a comment, e-mail me just get in iTouch! (See what I did there! )
