Did you ever play the fun, old-fashioned game 'egg in spoon' as a child? Running to the finish line without dropping the egg was a huge challenge. These days, there are lots of egg-themed games on the App Store since Easter is imminently due! One cool arcade game that has recently been updated is Egg Drop Arcade Lite. In this game, you must tilt and twist your device with great finesse to send your egg into the right target without smashing, burning, or zapping it! This is not easy as you might imagine, and you must have a flexible wrist to get your device moving in the right direction! Some of the cool features of Egg Drop Arcade Lite are as follows:

• Direct your egg to avoid dozens of obstacles by tilting your device.
• Avoid spikes, blast out of barrels, and spin through black holes.
• Only 6 levels for the lite version, with 6 cute prizes to win!
• Your prizes show up on the title screen as you collect them.
• Challenge Modes: High Score, Timed, and Accuracy (3 levels available)
• Fast paced sound effects and music.
• Shake your device to eggsplode your egg if it gets stuck!

Ok, so this egg drop is a lot more mechanical and technical than running with an egg in the spoon. Nonetheless, it is very exciting and your adrenaline is going to go into high gear as you figure out which way to tilt and turn your device. All those menacing cogs, wheels and steel teeth will drive you nuts! Still, Egg Drop Arcade Lite is one exhilarating game you're bound to enjoy.

Developer Quote: "Egg Drop Arcade Lite is a fast-paced arcade game with realistic physics and a delicate conundrum."

Tap Fish

COST: Free
CATEGORIES: Animals, Entertainment, Games, Native
..RELEASED: 3/17/10, VERSION: 1.01 -- RATING: 4 Stars..

Aquariums are peaceful, colorful and enjoyable living objects to own in your home. Relax as you see the delicate tails and fins of the fish as they swim. If you enjoy gazing at beautiful fish in an aquarium, you will likely enjoy Tap Fish. Raise beautiful baby Clown Fish, feed them to see them grow, and decorate your tanks with exotic tropical plants and sea reefs. While you are busy admiring your beautiful fish, don't forget to clean their tanks (and it's a lot easier on screen than in real life, let me tell you!) Some of the features of the colorful Tap Fish are:

• 8 starter fish, 27+ exotic marine life including killer whales, sharks and sting rays
• buy, feed, love, sell and revive your fish to gain experience
• breed your fish to your heart's content and for extra coins
• level up to 50 tanks and 50 levels
• 11+ backgrounds including Atlantis and Stonehenge
• 40+ decorations and plants: sea reefs, caves, mermaids, sunken ship and castles!
• visit neighbors' tanks and level up to become "featured" as a neighbor tank

You will not be able to resist loving, feeding and taking care of your very lifelike fish. You are going to have some very different looking fish, however, as you breed several different types together. Perhaps something interesting like a labradoodle dog? Nonetheless, you will enjoy the surprise and vibrant color themes that are in store for you.

Developer Quote: "Welcome to Tap Fish, you are only taps away from owning multiple aquariums, where you can decide what fish to grow, to sell, and to breed!"

The convenience of having cash on hand at all times is a great feeling. You could run to the ATM if you run out of cash, but with PayPal, you get access to your money at all times. It won't be in 'cash' so to speak, but you will have access to your bucks. You can even use your money to send a last-minute gift to a friend. Remember your money is securely protected when you use PayPal. PayPal has been on iPhone for a while now, but it underwent some major changes that really make the app rock now. The most talked-about feature is the addition of bump. This technology is a quick and easy way to connect two phones by simply bumping them together. Exchange your phone number, photos, or compare friends with just a bump. Some of the helpful features of PayPal are:

• Bump: Easily start by bumping iPhones.
• Withdraw funds from your PayPal balance.
• Request Money: Get paid faster, it’s the easy way to ask for the money you are owed.
• Split the Check: Instantly split the bill, calculate tip, and request everyone’s share.
• Collect Money: Ask for contributions from a group for an event, gift, or cause.
• Set Reminders: Never miss rent or a bill.

In summary, some of the new and improved features of PayPal are that it permits you to send a bill to your contacts, withdraw money out of your PayPal account and deposit it into your bank account. And then, of course, there’s Bump which allows you to exchange money simply by tapping two iPhones together. Additionally, there is also an integrated tip calculator and bill splitter, as well as a reminder function. This handily alerts you when you need to send or withdraw money, and cannot afford to forget. All in all, PayPal has become quite the cool money app which you will find helpful in many different ways.

SplashShopper List Manager

..RELEASED: 10/5/09, VERSION: 3.03 -- RATING: 3 Stars..

Organization is the key to success in most things in life. Unfortunately, we are so busy taking care of family, jobs, pets, you name it, that many important tasks get left behind or poorly done. SplashShopper is an amazing app in which you manage and organize almost every type of list imaginable. For instance, a few of the 11 ready-made list categories include: Books, Emergency, Gifts, Groceries, Movies, Music, To Do, Wine, and my favorite - Travel Checklist. You can even order a New List if you need, in fact as many as you want. SplashShopper gets even better though. The Groceries data base is packed with all sorts of items that you regularly shop for every week. The same is true of the Office Supplies and other categories. You don't have to enter many of the items because that's already been done for you to save you valuable time. If the item is not listed, no problem. Just tap '+' and 'Done' and you're in business! Share your lists with other users so that you can compare notes. A very helpful feature is the backup and sync mode that lets you sync wirelessly to PC or Mac. Wherever, you are, your lists will be handy and available to others, if you wish. This just rounds out the comprehensive organization of SplashShopper perfectly, and makes it an indispensable tool.

"Are you highly organized? Or maybe you're looking for a way to get there? You need SplashShopper's completely updated version 3.03, the ultimate smart list manager."

--OS and Age Rating:  This app requires OS 2.2.1 or later. OS 3.0 Tested. Rated 4+.

The medical field has a language all its own with abbreviations and terminology that must be memorized or noted in order to provide correct care to patients. To this end, iMed Terms has prepared a reference list of medical terminology that will specifically benefit doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, health records analysts, students and anybody in the medical field. Though not in the medical field myself, I am curious enough to want to learn about some of these terms for my own edification. Some of the useful features of iMed Terms are as follows:

• over 15,000 unique terms and definitions, more than any other application
• abbreviations, symbols and medical slang with terms and definitions
• source used for every entry
• live search updates as you type
• switch between search terms only or terms and definitions
• browse all entries by sorted index
• integrated Google and Wikipedia searches with embedded browser
• clean, elegant, easy to use user interface
• adherence to Apple's iPhone Human Interface Guidelines
• made by a Canadian Paramedic and future RN student with 15 years of software development experience

This app is clear and concise, very simple in design and does exactly what it is supposed to do. It helps you search and find the necessary language in which to describe a patient's condition, symptoms or disease. iMed Terms is a very handy reference tool for the medical profession, or those wanting to understand their doctor's jargon for their own peace of mind.

It's great to get out to sports matches, games and events. Most people follow at least one sport. Tennis is one of my favorite sports, and I do not miss a second of Wimbledon or any of the Open matches. The Tennis App is a combination 'help you improve your shot', and 'stay current with the tennis world' app. It provides a wealth of information on how to make the most effective shots, using video and instructions from Grand Slam winning pros. Yet, that's not all! You can sort through your favorite players by rank, name, or country. The rankings are automatically updated weekly. Some of the terrific features of The Tennis App are:

• Get information on all the essential shots such as topspin forehand, backhand, two-handed backhand, slice forehand and backhand, approaches, volleys, half-volleys, serves, overheads, and more. Even a few trick shots for fun!
• This app teaches correct technique through interactive video. You control the playback for in-depth analysis and visual reinforcement.
• The Tennis App allows you to stay up to date on the latest in tennis through moderated news, tweets, and web links. The best of tennis info is delivered to your iPhone daily.
• Watch the rankings to track who is on top: ATP Singles, ATP Doubles, ATP Doubles Teams, WTA Singles, WTA Doubles, and Points Race. The Tennis App rankings also include player photos so you’ll always be aware of the latest players.

The interactive video is fantastic for being able to thoroughly examine the best and worst of shots, and is a great learning tool. Keeping up-to-date on world tours and rankings is also a must-have feature. If you enjoy tennis, and don't want to miss a bit of news or wish to better analyze your favorite player's shots during their matches, try The Tennis App.

StarMaker

..RELEASED: 3/5/10, VERSION: 1.0 -- RATING: 2-1/2 Stars..

We are in full swing of American Idol season. There are some talented musicians/singers who have been chosen from thousands in audition. What about you? Do you fancy yourself on the big stage as a rock star, or as a mellow-rock crooner? StarMaker provides you with your 5 minutes of fame by letting you personalize your favorite songs with your voice, and then sharing with friends on Facebook. Not only that, but you can also create customized e-cards to share your new recordings. Decorate your photo with guitars, microphones, hats, hairstyles and bling before sending your eCard and song to friends. You can also add personal messages for a card they'll never forget. What I like most about StarMaker is being able to create musical eCards with my own voice.

StarMaker comes pre-loaded with 4 hit songs.

Internet Radio

COST: 99 cents
CATEGORIES: Entertainment, Native, Music
..RELEASED: 3/11/10, VERSION: 1.0 -- RATING: N/A Stars..

You probably have a lot of songs on your iPod, but what if you want some variation in your music, or you want to listen out for a new song? Internet Radio helps you out there by giving you unlimited access to the best music on the internet. With this app, you will be able to enjoy thousands of high-quality, digital radio stations at no cost. That sounds like a good enough reason to me to give this concept a try. Some of the great features of Internet Radio are as follows:

• Listen to high quality digital radio stations, subscription-free!
• Listen via Wi-Fi or 3G while you work.
• Most stations can be re-launched to play in the background, allowing you check your email, send text messages, etc while the music plays.
• If you find an MP3 or AAC-based station you like that isn't in the directory, Internet Radio can add it to your favorites.
• For stations that support it, Internet Radio displays the Artist and Track information.

Sometimes you need a change of pace in your music habits, but you want crystal-clear sound. If you don't want to shell out your bucks to buy more songs at the moment, give Internet Radio a listen, and enjoy the no-cost freedom and variety of music over the internet.

Developer Quote: "Internet Radio is your gateway to unlimited access to the best music on the internet."
