iPhone App Picks for the Week

Last week I did something blasphemous when I switched from my pinky, girly blackberry to a sleek and sexy iphone 4. I’ll go into a compare and contrast mode between the two phones in another post but this post focuses on my favourite apps this week.

Long before I had my own iphone, I already had a taste of the apps through my itouch and FP’s iphone 3GS. So things like God Finger and We Rule won’t be included in this post.

So let’s get down to my top 5 favourite apps for the past week (don’t you just love the screen capture function on the iphone?):

1) Charadium

This app revolves around the concept of “win, lose or draw”. You take turns with other players to draw the given words and try to guess what one another is drawing. Very addictive and plenty of fun.

This is me drawing “sadness”, lol. So okay I’m not the world’s best drawer but I’ve discovered people worse than me through this game. Take a look at this guy. He was trying to draw “television”.

2) Talking Tom

This app is really adorable! Tom the Cat mimicks everything you say and gets angry when you try to pull his tail. Yes it’s something like Talking Carl but more lovable. This app had my family in stitches! Oh and when you’re talking, Tom holds his ear out like this:

3) Foursquare

I really, really love the interface in Foursquare for iphone. Such a lovely change after the ugly interface on the blackberry. Best thing is that it captures my current location within reasonable distance, unlike the foursquare for blackberry. Don’t stalk me now ;)



4) Mega Jump

This is an arcade type of game where you gotta make this cute red monster (whom FP says looks like me, lol) go all the way up by jumping on gold coins.

It’s funny and addictive. Good way to pass the time.

5) Super Fall

While Mega Jump takes you higher and higher, Super Fall makes you fall from a very great height. The main character is a sack-like character (not unlike the sack boy in Little Black Planet) and you have to guide him down. Be careful because the obstacles on the way down might make him lose some limbs, catch fire or even get a little drunk.

So that’s my pick for this week. Look out for another 5 apps next week! :)
