Expenditure http://www.smartapp.org/expenditure/ http://www.smartapp.org/expenditure/#comments Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:02:43 +0000 admin http://www.smartapp.org/?p=9 There are a lot of expense tracking apps provided for iPhone and iPod Touch, but Expenditure is certainly exceptional. For starters, this app is available for an affordable price although you can get the demo version – Expenditure Lite – for free. Second of all, this app is very easy to use even if you have no previous experience of using similar apps.

Expenditure’s user interface is very straightforward and easy to understand. You don’t have to be confused by buttons and menus, because all you will see are labeled buttons – large enough so they can be pushed with your thumb – and you can use them to start entering transactions and track your expenses right away.

Expenses can be categorized accordingly. There is a set of built-in categories already programmed to make this app usable out of the box, but you can always customize them to suit your preferences. Another interesting feature – simple yet very useful nonetheless – offered by Expenditure is the auto calculation; this app adds your income and subtracts your expenses in real-time, allowing you to know exactly how much money you have in an instant.

The only downside of this marvelous app is that the information stored using Expenditure cannot be exported to other third-party apps. This app is self-contained and it does not offer web access to the expenses and incomes you entered into the app.

All in all, Expenditure is a good app to use if you are looking for a simple way to track your expenses and manage your personal finance properly.

ISwing: Practice Your Golf Swing http://www.smartapp.org/iswing-practice-your-golf-swing/ http://www.smartapp.org/iswing-practice-your-golf-swing/#comments Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:02:12 +0000 admin http://www.smartapp.org/?p=7 It is interesting how Apple has started a rather funky trend of products – whether it is a hardware or software – starting with an “i” in its name. This next app we are about to discuss, iSwing iPhone app, is following that exact trend for sure. It is an app designed to help you practice your golf swings using your iPhone or iPod Touch.

We all know that a golf swing is pretty tricky to execute. This is because the swing itself is not really natural in terms of body movements or motions. If you want to be a better golfer, you will certainly need to practice your swing frequently. ISwing can help you do just that anytime, anywhere.

ISwing will help you capture videos of you swinging your golf club using iPhone’s built-in camera. For those who use iPod Touch, only the 4th generation of iPod Touch supports video recording. After the video is shot, iSwing will take you to the review interface where you can review the swing you just made.

Not only will you be able to review the swing, you can also set the motion to be 20% to 60% slower so that you will have better view of the action. Using the analysis tools offered by iSwing, you can see if you have been making the right motion. You can also analyze if your swing is really like a pro by comparing your video with the video of a professional golfer side by side and see the differences.

Angry Birds http://www.smartapp.org/angry-birds/ http://www.smartapp.org/angry-birds/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:01:42 +0000 admin http://www.smartapp.org/?p=5 If you have been checking the iTunes Store’s list of most popular iPhone apps, you will notice how Angry Birds is still the most popular app even after quite a while. There is a reason why this game is very popular indeed; it is a very addictive game – and a superbly challenging one nonetheless – that you will enjoy playing for countless hours.

The concept behind this game is actually very simple. The little green pigs – this game’s main villains – have stolen precious birds’ eggs. Now the birds want revenge, launching a full-scale attack on the green pigs in order to get even.

This game is also based on physics. The goal is to simply destroy all the pigs before you run out of angry birds. There will be defenses and obstacles standing between your angry birds and the pigs, so you need to carefully launch your attacks by taking the law of physics into considerations.

To launch an angry bird, all you have to do is drag your finger across the screen of your iPhone. It might take a while before you can master the controls, but the game will be so much fun to play once you do. As you progress through different rounds, you will earn upgrades including more powerful birds that can explode, drop eggs, accelerate, and split into three small birds.

This addictive app is available on iTunes Store for $0.99; it is certainly a keeper and a must-have if you are an iPhone or iPod Touch user.
