The Super Bowl is just around the corner which means it's time to get ready for the big game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Rather than our usual five apps, I couldn't contain myself and, instead, put together five categories of apps that'll set you up nicely for food, football and fun this coming Sunday. if you want to learn more about the Patriots's offense and the Giants's defense, then you should download each team's iOS app. The Giants have a free app for the iPhone, while the Patriots have chosen to go iPad-only with a magazine-style app. The Patriots Football Daily app has a free 7-day trial followed by a paid subscription. The NFL also has a suite of apps to commemorate the game. Each Super Bowl XLVI app is filled with statistics, images and more about current and past Super Bowl match ups. The Read More

Free Reign - Free iPhone Apps Roundup #9
Calendar16 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:22:43 UTC +00:00
Oh my goodness, we’re breaking the rules today. Up until now we’ve featured apps from the App Store, but Patrick has included one from Cydia (jaaailbreak) to mix things up a little. Exciting, no? Yes. This week’s Free Reign features: Bargain Bin Concept: An app to help you find apps.  More importantly an app that helps you find bargains and price drops in the App Store. Strengths: Lets you see what’s had a price drop / what’s gone free across the whole store, or by categories.  You can create a Watch List for apps you’d like to see get discounted and set a price level you’d like to see them drop to.  Push notifications – it will push alerts to you on Watch List apps that hit the price target you set, on apps that have gone down to free, and more. Non-strengths: no search feature. Overall: One of several good Read More
Five (really useful) Apps for everyone
Calendar16 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:30:00 UTC +00:00
Some apps are almost universal. Chances are you may find a use for one of these apps in your daily goings-on, just as I have. All links are iTunes links. Flicktunes, $0.99 Remember our chat about driving and using your iPhone? Flicktunes makes controlling the iPod in your iPhone (or touch) much easier when you have to focus on other things -- like driving. Flick your finger left or right to navigate your playlist, up or down to start or stop the music. The album art is all you see, plus a speaker icon indicating playback. It's super easy, a simple app, but very useful if you're driving or otherwise occupied while jamming out. Army Knife, $1.99 If you need to measure something in a jiffy, Army Knife is a 9-in-1 tool with several measuring tools. There's a protractor, a caliper and a tape measure, plus a level and a "heart Read More

You can't enter recipes from cookbooks, etc and upload them to your iPhone
CatmanPaul 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I wanted to enter recipes from cookbooks or The Food Network, etc, have the ingredient list on my iPhone when shopping and be able to look at the recipe on my iPhone when cooking.
Not quite
hansenjm 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
Need to be able to save apps locally- iPod touch users don't have wifi at the grocery store
Lots of good recipes
lizbear 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Seems like a whole lots of good recipes. If u like to cook here's a great way to learn. Lots of potential. It's free good reason to try.
FINALLY!
john.frazier 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I have this installed on my pc, and it is probably one of the better recipe programs on the market today. Add your own recipes, flag favorites, search by names or ingredients, and many others. It seems a little slow, but I'm sure with updates, will get faster. It was the only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars.
Has Potential, But Much Improvement Needed
Carmel Utopia 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
I love the concept of having access to a magnitude of user-rated recipes on my iPhone, but the quality of the recipes I randomly searched for (about 10 different searches) appeared to be inconsistent and a bit amateurish (could have been bad luck, but statistically speaking, I somehow doubt it). I like that some of the recipes have a star rating, which would help sift the good from the muck, but currently the application does not show the number of ratings, so if a recipe got five out of five stars, it could simply mean that the author of the recipe was the only rater. I think that if the developer were to make the following modifications, the application would warrant a significantly higher rating: •Show the number of people who have rated each recipe. •Allow users to rate recipes directly from the app. •Pull recipes from a larger database and/or from more sources. •To make this app truly over the top, I suggest adding short video clips demonstrating cooking techniques.
Ok
Shoegal660 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
Recipes are from questionable sources. I'll probably use this in the grocery store to figure out what to do with, eg those chanterelle mushrooms on sale. But I'll be cooking from my cookbooks that were checked for accuracy and reproducibility. And hope that epicurious (with reliable recipes from Gourmet and Bon Appetit etc) creates an application.
SLOW loading time.
MtnBkr05 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
This application is wonderful! There are a lot of different recipes to choose from. I find it especially convenient because I don't have to write down a list of ingredients and then remember to take it grocery shopping with me. All I need is my phone. The recipes do load VERY slowly however. I would recommend opting for a different application but this one is free. I hope this problem will be fixed in a future update.
I like it
SavageX08 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Good to have especially since it's free.
Thanks
Smo420 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Very useful application. Perfect for getting random meal ideas. Being free is huge plus. Thank you!
Awesome!
LisaDeren 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Not only is this app a great reference to anything related to food, but it has tons of recipes you can try. It's a cooking library you can carry with you everywhere. I am quite impressed.
Very good
W.y.s.k. 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Was slow at first, but now works great.
Great!
Clutch1288 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I love this ! When I am gro shopping I am forever thinking of dishes but never plan ahead enough to write them down. Problem Solved!
Revised rating...
cyrusken 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I gave this app a 1 star rating before due to very slow download of recipes, now that it's fixed I changed my rating to 4 stars ( not 5 coz I believe there is no such as a perfect app as of now) This app is for cook lovers which personally I am... I like it and if want to impress somebody that u can cook this might be useful... :)
Yes!
MyBadYourDead! 5.0 stars Version: 1.0

I love this app. I use it all the time and it is so helpful!!! The recipes are great!!!
Slow response
hdtravel 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
Slow response. Search gives unpredictable results. Needs rethought. Needs ability to enlarge and save photos of recipes. Multiple photos of recipes would be nice.
Great
Jess1603 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I love this app!! Got a recipe last night and everyone loved it! Good job!
Finally

I'll tell timmy this one. She will be very happy to have it. :)) Btw, all named I used were taken. I write this review three times!!!
Love love love
D0okie0612 4.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
Great app save money on cookbooks and a great place to get inspirations for meals. I would love to see a premium version of this app with better search features and maybe even video instructional clips
Full of Ads
MagDriver 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I was not impressed, first thing it did was lock me into a screen that wanted me to subscribe to ring tones. Could not get it out of that mode until I clicked the home button. I removed this App from my phone. I found it awkward to use. I would not recommend this app.
Beware
WivesPersonalChef 1.0 stars Version: 1.3.1
Loaded this app last night and this morning I woke up to houndreds of spam emails. What ever u do, don't give up your email address!!
Spam emails please go away!
THA NOID 1.0 stars Version: 1.3.1
The moment I signed up I have recieved non-stop spam emails.
Bad iAd placement
IMrJared 2.0 stars Version: 1.4.2
Can't look at next pages of the search like the previous reviewer mentioned. Move it to the top, remove, or make it so you can swipe to go to the next page. Good ap before iAd, but this really puts a damper on usability.
Terrible ad placement
Chef Rah 1.0 stars Version: 1.4.2
Why would you put it there?
Fix!!
Lowwandlazy 2.0 stars Version: 1.4.2
Can't go to the next page.
WTF
Atexsin 1.0 stars Version: 1.4.2
Looks like A nice app. But when you try to go to the next page stupid ad is in the way. Come on
Love but iad placement no good
Blabloo 2.0 stars Version: 1.4.2
It won't let me search other pages. Iad should be moveable by the user!
Yep!
Redcello79 5.0 stars Version: 2.0.2
I deleted the old app over a year ago because it was slow and annoying. This update is a huge improvement and something I think I will actually use. For fellow users. Restart your phone before posting a review about the app crashing. If you don't, you're just cluttering up the space. You're like the people who give a hotel one star because the maid looked at you funny.
Pretty useless
Sara0621 1.0 stars Version: 1.3.1
You can't search by speci diets, such as gluten free, vegetarian, etc. The recipes are relatively inaccessible. I spent a ton of time entering the right search terms to narrow down the results, but was still presented with a lot of recipes i couldn't eat. Epicurious is WAY better and also free. This app needs work.
