Shazam iPhone Music App
It’s not magic, but it sure does seem like it. Hold your iPhone up to the radio, with the base facing the speaker, and within about ten seconds you’ll get the title, artist and even album cover of the song that is playing. As soon as the program recognizes the song, your phone will vibrate to let you know that you have an answer.

The program does this by analyzing the track makeup of the song and comparing it to recordings in a database. Consequently, it can’t decode tunes it doesn’t have on record, like a live concert recording or your Aunt Agnes singing in the shower. And there are some more obscure titles that the phone does not pick up. For example, it failed to find a song by the band Insane Clown Posse. However, if your tastes are more mainstream or even trend toward the bigger indie bands, you should be golden.

Want to listen to the song Shazam identified again? With a tap you’ll be sent to the iTunes store where you can purchase the album or single. The only problem is that there is no back button, so you will have to close out the application to return to Shazam when you’re done.

For additional fun, you can create a list of songs you’ve identified and add photos or tags to refresh your memory of when and where you heard them. Then you can sort them into an online library. If nothing else, it’s a good tool for looking back and reminiscing.

This program is fun for music lovers and for those who love to know what they’re listening to, or even for those who just want to win bets on who is singing a song against their more music loving friends.

Air Mouse

Air Mouse iPhone Utility
Air Mouse allows you to control your Windows PC or Mac running OSX using your iPhone instead of the mouse and keyboard. It takes a little legwork to install, since the application requires you to visit the developer’s website at www.airmouse.com to download the server application. You’ll also need to have your phone on the same wireless network as your computer in order for it to work. This makes it good for using at home, but it could be blocked by firewalls if you try to use it at the office.

I tested this app using a laptop running Windows XP Pro and a MacBook Pro. Installation was easy and both machines and required no customization. Once the software was running and launched on the iPhone, the app immediately found each computer on the network and synched up.

Controlling the Air Mouse does not actually involve moving your phone around in the air, as the name might suggest. (In fact, I tried this and absolutely nothing happened.) Instead, all you need to do is shift your finger on the touch screen to move the cursor around and tap the screen for a mouse click. Convenient arrows even allow you to scroll, and a yellow glow will show you exactly where your finger is on the screen.

Don’t feel like sitting up to type on your computer? No problem. There’s a full QWERTY keyboard on the bottom of Air Mouse’s screen.

While it’s not the ideal way to control the computer, unless you are adept at typing on a tiny screen, the Air Mouse would be great to use during presentations or when you’re demonstrating something in front of a group and you want to keep your lap free.

We all know that it’s a difficult task trying to keep track of what we eat. To be diligent about it and write everything down takes time. If you try and keep a running total in your head, chances are you’re off in your calculations.

Food IQ iPhone App makes it easy to track what you eat from day to day. It comes loaded with a database of over 7,500 foods. Items from grocery stores, fast food restaurants, fruits, vegetables, meats, etc…

Just search using any key word and the results appear instantly. Tap on an item and you are brought to the nutrition page, where you can instantly change the serving size and the nutrition information updates. Recent items are automatically saved and you can add any item to favorites instantly.


New to 2.1 is the ability to add your own custom foods and recipes. Adding a custom food is as simple as clicking ‘custom’ and clicking ‘add.’ Enter as much data as you wish to track for that food and you are done.

On top of that, you can also add any item to your daily meals to keep track of what you have eaten. Once on the nutrition detail page, just choose your serving size and press Eat Me ( just as you would add an item to a recipe). You are then brought to a new page where you can enter the number of servings you’ve had and preview the calories, fat, total carbs, net carbs, and even ww points. Once satisfied, click add and the meal is instantly saved to your daily meals.

Also new to 2.1 is the ability to edit past days and the addition of target calories. You can also set whether your calories or points are displayed on the icon in the iPhone home screen.

This is a very useful App this could be a life changing iPhone App, Again this App was Purchased
strictly for test and review purposes when in reality I am an overweight man who should have bought this App for my own personal use. I mainly eat fast food and boy is it not good for me at all, I used this App for 4 days to test it see all its features and what not. Over those four days I learned all the features of this App as well as the answers to my being over weight. I would that I eating entirely to many calories and greasy fatty foods.

My overall opinion about this Healthcare App is Very Good I think it could help a lot of overweight people as well as people who are in shape and want to continue that. For $1.99 that can help me eat healthier and hopefully lose some weight you can’t go wrong here. I plan to continue using this App and I can thank ituneappreviews.com for purchasing it.
