Essential iPhone Apps

Cheers, Wingz. :)

Is Airshare the best option then?. For moving files over wifi between PC and phone?. Anything else out there that folk recommend?.
 
Just picked up some photography apps. Camera+ and Hipstamatic. Have to say, even though I've only done a couple of self portraits, I am really liking these two apps. Can't wait to have an extended play.
 
I use Camera+ as the default camera now, my only gripe is it's not as quick to load as the default one but it does have some really very clever filters.

Hipstamatic is also good, although feel a little cheated that some of the filters/lenses/flashes are still needed to be purchased.

TiltShift is also another one I use often as is Pano for some great panoramic stitch features.
 
Hipstamatic comes with about 7 or 8 now but is priced at £1.19. I will probably just purchase them all if I use it much as I have ridiculous amounts of iTunes vouchers to spend. I'll give Pano a go, too, I think.

Hello Jonathan,

Amy here from the iTunes Store. I'd like to first apologize for the delay in my reply, this has not been the typical wait time for a response. We have seen a sudden and unexpected increase in our volumes. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Please know that when you reply to my email, your response will go directly to my inbox, which will ensure a much faster reply time. For your convenience, my hours are listed at the bottom of my email and I will have a friend watch my inbox while I am away to ensure any response is answered ASAP.

From reading your email, I see you recently downloaded "SimCity Deluxe (World)" and were charged. As you previously purchased this app, I can certainly appreciate your concern.

I have reversed the charges for the app. You will see a store credit of £3.99 in three to five business days. You may need to sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign back in before you see the credit in your account.

This was an exception to the iTunes Store Terms of Sale which states all sales are final. Future refund requests may be denied.

Looking at your account, it appears as though you previously purchased "SimCity™ (International)." This app is no longer available in the iTunes Store.

Once you purchase an app from the iTunes Store you can download it again on your device or computer at no charge. Be sure that you are signed in to the same iTunes Store account that you used to purchase the application originally, and follow the steps to purchase it again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the item and can download it again for free.

Have a lovely day!

Warm Regards,

Thanks for the refund "Amy" (If that is even your real name). But you'll note in my email I also stated that I couldn't find the original SimCity that I had purchased for download. Infact it doesn't seem like it is available for download at all now. This is pretty sneaky on EA's part and i'm not sure I like it.

I think I might e-mail her back and have a bit of a moan.

Qype is similar if anybody is looking for an alternative., its main thing is the ability for users to leave reviews for each place if you choose.

She answered that question for you. There's not a lot she can do about that, if EA decided to take it down.

I know, but it's a bit ridiculous that I can't download versions I've already bought. Sure, stop new people buying it - but what about that #5.99 I spent?! I'm not asking for any new versions or bugfixes, I just want what I paid for. Also are you telling me that Apple don't store the binaries of every single application and version uploaded to iTunes connect. I'd be gob-smacked if they didn't

Maybe at that point it wouldn't be naughty to get the file from some one who has it and put it into your itunes prog? Unless part of the DRM is written into the file as you download it? :shrug:
 
I'm pretty certain that FairPlay is written into the file, so I would have to authorize my iTunes with their account.

I've been using an app called Best Camera. Not so much for taking photos - but for adding filters, effects and editing. Give it a try. ;)
 
Free apps for today:

Luxor

Sentinel 2: Earth Defense

DropZone

Jungle Bug Rock and Roll

Alphatross

Call of Atlantis
 
Is there a good app that allows taking panoramic pictures?. Had a play with a mates Galaxy S today and some of the panoramic pics he has taken with it are pretty cool.
