I did a little research in to the iphone and ipad apps. There are millions of applications out there and many more on the way. There are apps for anything and everything under the sun. Many are to play games, organize your life, monitor your health and fitness, trade stocks and help with your finances or stay in touch through networking on the web.
The top game for iphones or ipads is the crazy game “Angry Birds.” You slingshot the birds to attack the green pigs who stole the bird eggs. It has about 100+ levels and can run as much as $4.99 for this app. I have played this game and it is fun and highly addicting. Another top app. That people are using is the Kindle app. This application allows you to download ebooks to you elibrary and you have them right at your fingertips. No more waiting in line for the new releases or lugging around a heavy book bag. You can shop for a new read at any time or place. Plus the book is lit up so no need for a light to see your pages. This is so convenient and the wave of the future. One favorite that I tried out and also liked was the app. Called “Urbanspoon” This one can help you find a place to eat. It will show you all the restaurants in your city at the same time. It lets you pick by the type of food you are hungry for say Italian and show you just them. It gives you an idea of the price you may pay too. (http://www.businessinsider.com/best-ipad-apps-2010-12#yelp-for-ipad-is-a-good-way-to-find-restaurants-13).
On the flip side of the coin there are many applications that are worthless and stupid out there too. One of the dumbest is the eShaver app. It shows a picture of a razor and makes noises as you rub it against your face. The developers say it works but we all know rubbing your phone on your face or legs does not shave the actual hair off! You just end up looking like an idiot rubbing your phone on your face. Another stupid one I found is the R U Drunk app. It gives you a series of five tests to help you determine whether you’re drunk or not. Dah if you have to ask or take a test you probably are drunk! I honestly think if you need this app. The iFart Mobile, you must be silly. It plays a variety of flatulence sound effects labeled with names like “Burrito Maximo.” I guess if you were ten years old this app. would be the best and completely funny.

After putting some thought in what kind of app. I would develop; it would have to be something that would help me out in my life. Everyone has a wallet full of rewards cards from grocery stores, department stores, hair product stores; you name it there is a card. They should have an app. That allows you to scan in each one of these cards, and then you just open the app, pick which one and scan your card. You wouldn’t have to carry around 20 different cards, making my life easier. Another helpful app. would be an app. That not only just lets you plug in your health information to track it but say actually took your blood pressure. That would maybe save lives. Last but not least I would develop an app that would work just like a baby monitor or nanny cam. It would stream to some type of device like one hide inside a teddy bear that you set up in a room where the baby is and it would stream you live video and sound directly to your phone. You could check in on the baby at any time or place. These may seem like some farfetched ideas but would be great if they were developed and make life safer and easier.
