Sporttacular iPhone Application Review

It offers live scores, standings, news, box scores, game plays, and the ability to track the stats of individual players.

For live baseball scores, Sportacular shows a graphic displaying who’s on base, the pitcher and batter, ball and strike count, number of outs, a traditional 9-inning scoreboard, as well as a box score and a list of game plays. Scores automatically refresh every 30 seconds.
ox scores are presented in a split view, showing the stats of only one team per page. I’m not sure why this has become the norm for iPhone apps (both native and web). I’d like to see a full box score on only one page.

The news page looks like an RSS feed, with a headline and brief summary of the article. Tapping on the article opens up the article’s website within the app (the news comes from third-party sites like ESPN, Fox Sports, etc). This is a nice feature as it doesn’t take you to Mobile Safari then force you to navigate back to the app.

Sportacular also makes it easy to follow your fantasy players. Specific players can be added to a customizable page. This allows you to easily check your fantasy players’ performances.

Koi Pond: iPhone Video Review from iPhone App Review

Description:

The iPhone lends itself to be the home of many peculiar apps. It has a lot of really great functionality that would make it perfect for some form of virtual pet or even just a nice ambient environment. Koi Pond has taken a little bit from each of those ideas and has actually made a virtual fish pond for your iPhone.

This app is pretty unique, as it’s just something that you watch. Your interaction is limited to changing the water color, amount of fish, lily pads in the pond, the different animal sounds you hear, and switching it from day to night. You can shake the iPhone and feed the fish, tap the pond to scare the fish, or leave your finger in and watch them eventually swim up to you.

That’s all this app does. There isn’t anything more to it. The sounds are pretty interesting, but the chances of this being something you want to fall asleep while listening to are slim to none. Unless of course your soothing sounds of the rain forest tape broke and you can’t get to sleep without it.

It’s a great concept and it really does look cool. But the fact that Koi Pond actually costs and that you really don’t do much besides watch the fish, it’s hard to justify making the purchase. While Koi Pond does seem to be one of the more popular paid apps at the time of this review, we’re going to have to recommend that you keep that dollar in your virtual pocket for the time being.
