The UpNext Cities app will make your life go a lot smoother, especially those like me who are incapable of following directions. The app is free and available for ipod touch, iphone and ipad. What makes UpNext a much better app than the alternatives in the same genre for example, google earth and APPCityLife is that it is the easiest of the three to use and offers up to date and accurate information. UpNext allows you to download cities that are then shown on a map that you can not only zoom in and out of but rotate and tilt. The rotate option is especially important for those who have a hard time following directions because you can view the city from whatever direction you are coming from.While it is important to use the tutorial to learn how the map functions, it is simple and easy to use and when you are finished you will know how to get the most out of the app.

Ever had a time when you knew a great restaurant, felt too lazy to make a reservation(or maybe forgot to), and went there with a bunch of friends but had to wait for an hour to be seated? I do. Yes I do. And if you ever had to do that, you know how that feels like.
IT SUCKS!

Food. FOOD. Food. FOOD.
“Food” is one of the most beautiful words I have ever learned to say. I like food. I love food. In fact, one of my hobbies is to try to find and taste the food of the highest quality wherever I am, whether it’s American, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, Mexican etc.
And then I came across Zagat to Go now on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. If you are a seeker of good food or just like to eat out in general, this app is perfect. This app is also useful when you are traveling and have no clue where to find good food in a new area. Read the rest of this entry » |

Simple were the times when reality was exactly as we saw it. Now, apps are introducing augmented experiences to what’s right in front of our face. By utilizing the iPhone camera, many apps enable you to see things that aren’t immediately there, be it stores and restaurants in the nearby areas, information about your surroundings, or explosions of cars you see that you don’t particularly like. These “augmented reality” apps show what’s there in conjunction with what’s not, and could very well be the future of how we perceive reality, by enhancing it with information, fabrications, suggestions, others’ feedback, and advertisements.
