What can be better than showing off to your friends with your cool unlock screen on your iPhone? And by cool I mean a wallpaper that’s just stunning. While I do appreciate the simplicity of iTheme and the beauty of their designs, I have my doubts when it comes to the price tag of the app.

A simple questions deserves a simple answer. iTheme is a collection of 20 great themes that let you style the unlock and home screen of your iPhone or iPod Touch to suit your own personality. Just start up the app, choose one of the 20 themes and choose whether to save both the home screen and the unlock screen, or just one of the two. The app will save the images to your photo gallery and that’s all the app will do for you.

If you don’t own a device that supports home screen backgrounds (like the iPhone 3G or a lower generation iPod Touch), then you [...]

I must warn you. Those of you that really need their cup of joe before even attempting to do anything else in the morning, you won’t get a kick out of this next app. If you’re constantly getting up from bed, putting one your slippers sideways, and saying good morning to the cat on your way to the bathroom, then solving Math problems bright and early might not be up your alley.

If on the other hand you’re looking for a way too boost your morning routing and jump start your day, then Smart Alarm from Vapssky is your ideal morning coach. The app works just like a regular alarm, just that in order to shut it off in the morning, you need to solve the Math problem or the Dots puzzle game that it throws at you.

Don’t worry! You’re not up against irregular expressions and Pythagorean problems. The Math problems themselves are just simple equations you wouldn’t think [...]

Shoot the Apple, very simple to understand – move the iPad in the direction you wish for the target cross-hairs to move and then tap the screen to shoot

If traditional puzzles bore you, perhaps you should give VideoPuzzle a try. VideoPuzzle from Ideateca is, at its heart, a tile-based puzzle game, with the added possibility to use your own videos as game tiles.

The game play is simple. Once you’ve launched a new game, the tiles are randomly arranged on the screen and you have to put them back together by dragging tiles or double-tapping them. Dragging one tile over another make the two switch positions, while double-tapping any one tile will flip that tile up-side down.

Nothing new under the sun so far. The real innovation behind VideoPuzzle is that instead of still pictures, the game features videos as game levels. You can choose between Arcade mode, Camera Mode, Photo Album and Video Album.

The most interesting to me seemed the Camera Mode, where you can open up your iPhone camera and solve [...]

We’ve all started to think of our iPhones as a pocket camera. It may not have the same resolution as one of the more powerful point and shoot digital cameras out there, but for those simple Kodak moments, we’re all bound to use our iPhone to take a quick snapshot. We always have it in our pockets, it’s lighter and more personal than the digital camera and it has some neat features like GSP tagging for photos.

In order to enhance those neat features with something extra, Soft Density launched PhotoStamper for your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The app lets you easily stamp your photos with titles, GPS location, time, date and place the photo was taken.

PhotoStamper features a simple edit screen. Select your photo from the iPhone’s albums, and any GPS information that might be available with the photo will [...]

What is probably one of the most useful and organized apps I’ve seen in the Lifestyle category in the iPhone App Store, Italians Cook It Better provides one completely immersive experience into fine Italian cooking with localized recipes from all the regions of Italy.

Italians are not just about pizza and pasta. I dare say that it’s one of the most complex cuisines out there, with influences from cultures like the Greeks or the French. They’ve turned cooking into an art, and with this iPhone app they’re letting you in on some of their secrets.

Italian cuisine varies from region to region, with sometimes notable differences depending on the different ingredients found in the different regions. Italians Cook It Better features around 250 recipes from 20 regions of Italy. Recipes are organized into appetizers, first courses, main courses, side [...]

It might seem confusing reading that headline up there. Let me make it simpler. Starfaces is the iPhone app that lets you create and share a connect-three type of game where you can completely customize the game tiles by using photos of you, your friends, or your family. In Starfaces, your face is the star!

First up, I need to point out the rather confusing navigation of the app. When you first launch it, it might appear as if you’ve just launched the App Store app. The bottom bar gives you the most popular games, a featured category, the store option, share and profile. From these, you wouldn’t really guess that “Share” is where the action is.

As soon as you get there, the app does a great job to walk you through the puzzle creation. You have to select 5 photos that you’d like to use in the game as tiles. You can either [...]
