Have you ever wanted to make toast, lots and lots of toast, but not actually eat it? Me neither... until the More Toast? App! This is the greatest app ever invented hands-down, without a doubt, will make you crazy... crazy for toast, or course! This app gives you seemingly limitless options and combinations of toast; bread type (including bagels, waffles, english muffins, you name it!), toaster design, toaster heat level, plate design, how to cut your toast (remove crust, hear-shape, etc.), and of course... Toppings! With photgraph-realistic (but humorously our of proportion) graphics your toast options are endless! What are you waiting for?! Quit your social life right now and be prepared to have the toast fun you've ever had!

Many people believe that the App store is littered with pointless apps. The Metal Band Name Generator doesn't exactly persuade them otherwise. For $0.99, you can click a button and have a two-word combination appear on your screen.Apparently, these words are good for naming a metal band.
Is this a useful tool?
No, no it is not.

Take a look at any photography nut with an iPhone, and chances are they'll have the app called "Instagram." This app is basically a grade school Photoshop for the iPhone. Users can tweak photos by adding effects or filters, then instantly share through Facebook, Twitter or Flickr. All in all a great app. But, Facebook may soon be offering some sort of photo editing capability on their site, thus making the app almost obsolete. Sorry Instagram, but it looks like now your only option is beg Facebook for mercy.

The 'Inception App' brought on by the wildly popular Christopher Nolan film Inception provides the user with a unique and surreal experience.  Firstly, the app reacts to your environment and changes its setting to, for example, an "active" dream state.  Then using some unrealized technology, your device will amplify minimal noises around you, and blur others, while running ambient  sounds to add to the strange dreamscape you enter.  This app must be experienced to be understood, and you HAVE to experience this.  Highly recommended

    There is a NEW Tap Tap Revenge in store now. This game is not only a great work out and exercise for your fingers but it is also just like guitar hero, but on the go. You can play with people you don't know via wi-fi or you can play with your friends, where one person holds one half of the ipod while the other person gets the other side. It has great music to play too and also helps you get to know new music that not many people have heard before. I have loved the songs on there and have uploaded some of the songs on my ipod. It is a great app and while fill those dull moments you have sitting in the car ,on tracks, or when you just at home. It has received four stars and has worked out all the glitches the other 3 Tap Taps have. So go download the app now while it is still FREE!

This is an extremely addictive game where the objective is to dive of a cliff into water at the specifications set by the game before the jump. It boasts two buttons, which automatically makes you think it would be simple. But those with bad timing will soon realize it is anything but. I give Stickman Cliff Diving a 4 out of 5 stars. To give it a five, they need to add check points at certain heights. I hate having to start over ever time I fail.

“There’s an app for that,” a saying that just a few years ago didn’t exist. Now everywhere you go, people are talking about different apps that you can download onto your phone. There are over 300,000 iphone apps out there, so it is easy to find an app for what you are looking for. One app that I love is “I am T-pain” which allows you to auto tune your voice to sound computerized like his. Its average rating is four stars and while it is a little expensive for an app ($2.99), I would say it’s totally worth it.

These two apps are probably the two most famous icons out there in the virtual world of apps.  They are both great games and extremely addictive, addictive as in you will be glued to these games for a very long time.  Angry Birds is an excellent game. Your goal in this game is to launch various types of birds with different abilities at fortresses concealing the evil pigs that have stolen your eggs!  When I first got it, I kept playing it until I beat the game.  And then there is Tiny Wings, which is too, an excellent and addictive game.  In this game you must slide through hilly mountains, and go as fast as you can before the sun sets and the night creeps up on you,  It’s a pretty suspenseful game if I do say so myself.  Both of these games are only $0.99 and you definitely get your money’s worth for both of them.  Which one is your favorite?

If you are looking for a fun word game then look no further. Words with Friends is a great app for AP Lit students or just the average Joes. It’s fun, its educational, and you don’t even have to be in the same room with your opponent it is played over Wi-Fi. It’s a $.99 app and it’s totally worth your money.
