EOC Week 6: 9 Apps

It's all about the apps these days. What's the newstest, coolest app that's taking the market by storm? They can be free or paid for doesn't matter, but their usually cheap. Now of course along with the good theres also the bad, the pointless, and the ones that just don't do crap. Too bad we can't just flush those out and replace them with something that's actually useful or entertaining.
Anyone that has an iPhone knows what Angry Birds is. This has earned itself the title of #1 paid app for the apple app store. Who knew that slinging birds at green pigs that steal eggs could be so much fun? Another good app would have to be the The Weather Channel I look at this everyday to figure out the local temperature, and even all the way back in IL. My third choice would have to be Netflix. It's great! I can watch movies wherever, whenever I want. Sure there are other apps that may be more useful, and do things, but for me these are what fits.
When you think of the worst apps, what comes to mind? I think of stupid fart apps. Yea sure their a little funny at first but they get old real fast and annoying. Another stupid one is called Hold The Button. That’s pretty much all it is. You’re just supposed to hold your finger on the screen for as long as you can. That’s dumb.. Then a third one is special because at three dollars its completely stupid when I’ve seen similar apps for free. It’s called Shout It, and it displays big scrolling text across the screen. Sure it might have a few other things with it the free ones don’t but at three dollars why spend it when you can get virtually the same for free??
All these good and bad apps have me now thinking about what sort of apps I would create. The first one I thought of was a diet and calorie nutrition tracking app. However instead of having to search for the food you would have the ability to scan the barcode or take a picture of the nutrition facts and then it would log it as part of your daily intake. Another one would be America’s Most Wanted this would display all the bad guys that are wanted around the country for the more serious crimes. Lastly they need to make a mario game. Even if it was just a remake of one of the games from Super Nintendo it would be ok. However I don't think apple and Nintendo will be partnering up anytime soon to make such a thing happen, and thats a shame..
