Hurricane, PixSter

  • MeetMe. ($2) can be used to find a meeting point between two locations. Users begin by inputting two locations and the software then prepares a list of possible meeting locations between those two points. By default the application looks for locations halfway between the two points but users can choose to look for locations closer to either one. After a location has been selected the address and a map can be sent via email.

  • Photo+Map ($2) can combine a map showing the location where a picture was taken and the picture that was taken there. The maps are automatically retrieved and are added as an extension to the image instead of reducing the original size of the image. Users can additionally choose to add a time-stamp along with latitude and longitude information to the image. The latest update allows users to send images directly from the application using MMS and now adds an approximate address of where the photo was made to the embedded meta data.

  • PDF Expert ($5) allows users to store and read PDF files on an iPhone or iPod touch. The application includes support for password protected, full text document search, navigation through embedded PDF bookmarks, and more. Files can be uploaded by emailing them as attachments to a dedicated Readdle Storage email address and then downloading them to the handheld. PDF Expert also includes support for large PDF files, fast document scrolling, and go to page navigation.

  • Hurricane ($4) can be used to track hurricanes and tropical storms. The application covers storms in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and includes a dynamic information page for each storm. The included maps are fully zoomable and a GPS signal can be used to calculate a users current distance from a specific storm.

  • Facebook PixSter ($2) can be used to upload images to Facebook with a caption. Photos can be chosen from the devices photo library or uploaded directly from an iPhone's camera. PixSter also allows users to change their Facebook status and add a link to their current location based on GPS data.

    Why are the three latest reviews on the App store all bad - stating it won't run or crashes, and then MacNN leaves this info out? Apple needs to do a h*** of a lot better at vetting these apps and making sure the public isn't getting cheated, as they very frequently are (read some reviews now an then) and then there is no recourse for a refund. So much of the App store content is simply worthless c***. Apple should hold this stuff to a higher standard - fewer, but better apps. Oh yeah, I forgot - they're only interested in their bottom line and the h*** with the customer. I'm glad at least that those unfortunates who buy these bad apps can post their reviews. I thought this would be a great app after reading about it here, but I'm not parting with my money if an app has so many problems reported. If MacNN is going to report on an app, as they have done with this, then they should have tested it out. Evidently they don't care either. So, a massive FAIL for MacNN - no credibility.
