When I was contacted by the developer about reviewing this Tubey I was innately excited. As I have said in previous reviews Social Networking app’s are where I have found some of my favorites app’s. This app is no exception it is one the best Social Networking app’s to date in the iTunes App Store in my opinion allowing you to take pictures from your library or with the camera arrange them in the order you want and add basic zoom & pan effects to the images creating a slide show type video that will be automatically uploaded to your YouTube and BlogSpot accounts.
To get started tap Tubey icon on your iPhone after it loads you come to a screen where you will need to choose the type of video you want to create. Options are as follows you can create a Personal Video, Event, Sell, Real Estate or Other Once you have chosen the type you’ll start the build video segment in which we will first add the pictures we want in this video after you select all your images you will notice to the right of the picture it will say random effect, by tapping on those words you’ll open the effects options. Here you can choose what effect you want for that particular image their are 5 options total you have Random Effect, Pan Up, Pan Down, Zoom In & Zoom Out.
Once you have the images and effects setup how you want them you will need to hit the back button in the upper left corner and the select Add Audio option here you can record a narration for your video and add background music. Their are 56 different albums of background music already in this app for you to use which I found to be a great feature.
Now that we have our narration and background music finished hit the back button upper left and select Add Info tap here you will add the Video Info, The Title, description, tags, category etc… this will help people find your video on YouTube & BlogSpot. After you complete the information about your video hit the back button to main screen. Here we will complete our final step and approve the video upload after you make sure that you have the images you want, Audio and Info are all correct simply hit the upload button. Your new video will be uploaded to Tubey for transfer to YouTube & BlogSpot. It is really that simple Awesome App.
I can’t say enough about Tubey this app ROCKS even at $4.99 it is a STEAL. I think friends & family would much rather watch a video of where you are and what your doing than to read text about your adventures. My opinion of Tubey is an outstanding job by the guys at CirclePix.com. Hands down one of the best App’s to date. I give it a 10 out 10.

Game apps are the most popular in the iTune App Store and flightControl which was released Feb has found it’s way a top the most popular paid for apps quite an accomplishment. Once I downloaded this app and synced to my iPhone to begin playing I was a little tuned off by the 50’s style graphics and music. Could have made them a tad bit more modern.
Dispute my disappointment with the audio and graphics I still found this app to be quite entertaining and addicting. After it loads you will find yourself at the main screen with four options, Credits information about the developers than is Tutorials which is basically screen shots with text on them explaining how to play this app next will be Stats here you can view High Score, Average Score, Most Aircraft On Screen & Total Aircrafts Landed your last option is Play.
Once you hit play you’ll notice the airport in the center right of the screen and within seconds you’ll notice red circles with white exclamation Marks appearing on the edges of the screen which will mark the area where an airplane will be entering your screen. Their is three types of airplanes and A helicopter you have to land. Their will be two types of red airplanes these are the biggest ones in the game one is a bit bigger and faster than the other and than you have a small yellow airplane and blue helicopter. Both red planes you’ll need to land on the long straight runway that is outlined in red, the small yellow plane will need to be landed on the small runway out lined in yellow that comes out on an angle towards the bottom of the screen. The Helicopters you will land on the blue circle with the H in the center of it.
To guide the aircraft to to correct runway to land you will need to tap the aircraft your trying to land and drag your finger in the path you want the aircraft to go to land if you have successfully made a path for the aircraft to land the aircraft will change colors to white indicating a successful landing path. Be careful not to allow aircrafts to get to close as they will crash and game will be over. If aircrafts get to close and you think there goning to crash simply tap the aircraft you want to control and drag your finger in the new direction you want aircraft to fly in.
It can really get jammed up with aircraft in a hurry and one crash it is all over, My high score is 67 aircraft landed not sure if that is good or not but I played abut 70 times before I got that score so I founded it to be challenging which is always good in a game and for $0.99 it is a deal I have lost more change in my couch in the past 2 days.

Social Networking App’s are where I find some of my favorite iPhone app’s at. When this app was released I was excited to get it and start playing around. After syncing to my iphone I started app to come to a screen to add account once you type in your Twitter login info you’ll be sent to the Tweets screen like being on your Twitter Home where you can read tweets from people you follow. You can scroll down through recent tweets and by tapping a tweet you’ll open new screen of the tweet with details of who and when it was posted as well as any links in the tweet will be click able.
Across the top you see accounts on the left side this will allow you to go back an add additional Twitter account you may have. On the right side by tapping the paper & pen icon you can create a New Tweet you can type 140 characters just as if you where on twitter.com. Now a few options that make this app even cool than being on Twitter itself, You can add a photo to your tweet by taking a picture with the camera or choose existing photo once you have done this and typed your message hit send & your photo will automatically be uploaded to twitpic and a shortened url you be added to your tweet. You can also add a map link to your tweets which will add a shortened link to your tweet where you followers can see on google maps where you where when you send tweet.
Those are two very cool options that drawled me to loopt social networking app. You will notice at the bottom from left to right the first icon is Tweets which you should currently be on next is Replies here you can see recent replies and by tapping on a reply that you want to read this will open new screen with the message, details of who and when the sent reply and at the bottom you have several options first from left to right tap the arrow in the box this will allow you to Repost Tweet, Post Link To Tweet or Mail Link To Tweet. Next is the link icon this icon is only highlighted and click able if there is a link in the reply that you are currently reading by tapping it you can Repost Link or Add to Instapaper. Your next icon is the star by tapping it you you save tweet to your favorites and finally the last icon is the backward arrow by tapping this icon you will be able to tweet a reply back to the person who originally sent you the reply.
Now back to main screen next option icon across the bottom will be Messages tap this to read Direct Message Received and Sent as well as compose a new direct message to send. The Star icon will be next in line by tapping the star you see all the tweets you have saved as favorites. The last icon is More once you click this there will be 5 options to choose from first being My Profile this will allow you to see a mobile scaled down version of your Twitter Profile with options to Reply, Send Direct Messages, Read recent Tweets, Search @Your Twitter Name to see you is RT Or Talking about your tweets you can view your Followers and who your Following. Go To User allows you to type in username and search to find that user on Twitter, Near by search and locates other Twitter Users in your local area. Trends lets you see the Public Timeline as well as the top 10 current trends and last but not least the search option here you can search keyword, phrases, usernames or whatever your interested in.
At $2.99 I would say to Twitteriffic move over buddy there is a new player in Tweet Town, This app is near perfect I can’t think of one thing this app lacks. It is simple and straight forward the interface is friendly and easy to use with some cool options not found on twitter itself. Hands down to the developers and I wonder if people from Twitter.com help in the development of this app because in my option it is by far the best iPhone Twitter App to date. And I noticed this app is being promoted on Twitter what is in it for them I wonder.
