This is a great little app for me, as I like to geotag my images. I have a dedicated GPS tracker that I use for the purpose. But Trails means that I will be able to create a log at those times I don't have the tracker.

The only way of communicating of through the pictures. Its possible to reply to a message, and I've had 'conversations' of sharing pictures of pets, TV's or even writing notes and photographing them. There is the option to send your location with the image, so you can check out where an image was taken. You can also report anything inappropriate.

All in all a cool little app.

This is one of the most addicting puzzlers I have ever played. I've lost ages playing with this trying to get as many 'chains' as possible. If you have any interest in puzzlers, do yourself a favour and pick it up.

At its heart it is a simple app that allows you to ask a question and have the community answer it. Or, you can simply stick to answering questions yourself. Replies to questions are anonymous, and it is this which I feel leads to An-Quests biggest problem. The amount of racist or sexist questions is staggering. There are also a great deal of questions of a sexual nature, the kind that you would expect to be asked by a 14 year old boy, who has just had the underwear section of the Kays catalogue discovered under his bed. For an example of what I talking about, simply enter any Xbox Live Halo match before bedtime on a school night.

I love that you can use this as a quick straw poll, or canvasing opinions or ideas. I hate the rampant immaturity of it, and I do wonder if things would improve if there was a reporting mechanism, or some form of moderation.

The app does have a couple of other serious issues. Its one of the buggiest apps I've found, and it has a nasty habit of scrambling text on the 'your questions' page. I'm willing to stick with it though as it can be a highly amusing little waste of time.

In the next couple of posts, I'm going to give a little overview of a couple of my favourite apps - starting with Bloom

Bloom is a 'generative music' creator, developed in part by Brian Eno. The idea is simple, you select a predefined 'mood' which provides an ambient background harmonic. You then tap on the iPods screen to play a note which repeats and eventually fades. The positioning of your tap (along with the mood) determines the pitch of the note. Bloom recognises multi-touch and so you can play multiple notes at once. High notes at the top of the screen, and the lows at the bottom. In many respects it reminds me of the Tenori-On. But give that cost nearly £600 and Bloom comes in at £2.99 the comparison ends there.

It can produce so nice atmospheric tunes, and I actually intend to use Bloom to do the background music for some of my videos. Since music is not my strong point by any means, I love this little app for allowing even someone as musically talentless as me to knock up a tune.
