  • NotifyMe 1.3 ($4) allows users to create personal reminders, notifications and alerts that take advantage of some of the new features in iPhone 3.0. After launching the application users are presented with a keyboard for entering the reminder and scroll wheels for setting the time for the reminder to display. Push notification is then used to send the user a message and/or sound alert. A recent update has added web access support, a new snooze option, the ability to import birthdays from iPhone contacts, and a few small graphic tweaks.

  • Walt Disney World Secrets ($1) contains over 200 commonly missed locations and more than 200 fun facts related to the park. The application includes a series of guides that lead people to some of Disney World's secrets such as hidden Mickeys. The guides direct people around the park and point out little things that are commonly missed such as pictures with moving eyes and talking trash cans.

  • TextExpander ($2) lets users define abbreviations for frequently used text strings. These abbreviations can then be used while typing within the application to quickly enter long or common phrases. Messages typed within TextExpander can be sent directly to the Mail application, Tweetie, Twitterific, and Twittelator Pro. Messages can also be moved to other applications by using the iPhone's copy and paste functionality.

  • iFeltThat ($3) provides iPhone and iPod touch users with up-to-the-second details and integrated maps of earthquake activity for 24 regions around the world. The program uses Location Services to reveal how far away and in which direction the selected seismic event occurred. Users can customize four regions that can be accessed with a single tap and also set the magnitude threshold for the list of earthquakes in each region independently. The application also features a built-in web browser, links to USGS Shake Maps, links to official tsunami warnings, and more.

  • Meteorology ($1) can display animated weather maps from the NOAA National Weather Service. The application includes both wide-are maps for viewing general weather patters, along with more detailed maps for viewing activity in a small area. Users are able to pause, start, pan, and zoom the maps by using common gestures such as tapping and pinching. Maps are available for the US, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
