Apps Review: Cine Apps

How do you find out what movies are showing at your local cinemas and the showing times of each movies? Things that i have personally done in the past includes buying the local newspaper and browsing at the “Movies” section as well as driving all the way to the cinema to check them out.

Introducing the new iPhone CineApp application………………With this new application, you do not need to do that anymore.

With the CineApp application, you are able to do the following:-

1.  Add a cinema into your favourite’s list for easier access in the future.

2.  Connect to Google map to get the direction to your cinema of choice

3.  Check and compare movie showtimes for every cinemas in your vicinity.

4.  See what is being shown in the “Now Showing” and “Coming Soon” tabs

5.  Watch trailers and video clips of the selected movies

6.  Read synopsis and reviews of the movies of your choice

and many more……  :-)

Below are some of the screenshots of the Applications:-


With such ease of use and features, i will undoubtedly give it a thumbs up to this Application.

Do you fancy to have the iPhone 3GS functionality but are currently stuck with the iPhone 3G and are not planning to upgrade your current iPhone 3G in the near future?

Below are 3 Applications that can help transform your iPhone 3G to have features that are similar to the iPhone 3GS for FREE:-

SayNDial This application “Say N Dial” has the similar functionality as the Voice Dial feature of the iPhone 3GS. Please take note that if you have many contacts of very similar names, this application may not work very well as it may tend to confuse itself with similar sounding names. So, do not be surprised if you ended up calling someone that you do not originally wanted to call using this app.

CameraPlus Ever wanted to have the Zoom and Flash functionality of the iPhone 3GS? This application is a great one to do just that. It allows you to capture images and will do a modification on the captured image to make it looks brighter. It also allows you to perform a zoom whenever you want to. This is certainly an application that i will recommend for those of you who do a lot of photo-taking using the iPhone.

AboutBattery The iPhone 3GS comes with the standard battery indicator on the top right corner of the phone. If you are using the iPhone 3G and would like to know the remaining battery life on your iPhone 3G, you may want to consider installing this app. It provides a good estimation of the remaining minutes that the iPhone can last if it is put on standby mode, talktime mode on 2G/3G network, internet browsing mode on EDGE/3G/Wifi as well as video or audio mode when using the iPod function.

Of course, these are not going to fully replace the iPhone 3GS functionality. It is however a good or reasonable compromise to enhance the iPhone 3G handset. Have fun testing out these functionalities and do drop us a comment if you have found better apps that can do the tricks.

Apps Review: Dropbox iPhone app

Dropboxicon

Dropbox has been around since May 2008 although it is only recently made available as an iPhone app. Dropbox is an application which allows you to synchronize folders on your local computer to other computers easily via the internet. The Dropbox iPhone App enables you to access those files on your iPhone seamlessly now! For this app to work on your iPhone, you need to have at least the iPhone OS3.1. The other great thing about this app is that it is FREE and it comes with a free 2GB storage. For additional storage, it is chargeable at US$9.99 per month for 50GB or US$19.99 for 100GB. For myself, the 2GB storage is good enough for my personal usage.

Key features of the Dropbox application are:-

1.  It loads and synchronizes quickly and seldom crashes(i have not experience any crashes while using the Dropbox app)

2.  This app is free and it comes with a free 2GB storage

3.  You can share the folders with anyone by sharing the login and password with them.

4.  You can share files(word, excel, pdf), powerpoint presentation, music and videos easily and seamlessly with others using this app.

To understand how it works better, i have included a video below which provides a good introduction as well as detailed steps on how to use this wonderful application.  :-)

i would give it a thumbs up for the ease of use as well as its usefulness and practicality. i would personally rate this app as one of the coolest iPhone app. If you have not downloaded it yet, i would strongly urge you to go check this out!

If you  have a list of Apps that you wanted to buy but do not want to buy it at their normal price, you can save them as  your favourites in this app and it will indicate to you if any of them have reduced in price.

You can also look at each app’s details just like in the app store and view the screenshots. There’s also a link from each app to the app store to make it easier for you to purchase the app. In addition to that, in order to make it easier for you to notify your friends about the apps on sale, there is also a little ‘Tell a Friend’ link at each app’s features page.

At the top of the screen, you can also find 2 different categories i.e. free and new paid apps both ordered by release date. Below is a screenshot of the Pandora Box App.
