There are plenty of iPhone GPS apps on the market. Some give you accurate directions and all kinds of information on the go. Some provide you with great graphics. iGO My Way gives you both.  iGO My Way 2009 is an innovative GPS application for iPhone that provides you with the directions you need to get to your destination without having to rely on a standalone GPS unit. Similar to other top GPS apps for iPhone, iGo provides you with beautiful 3D maps to help you find your way around more easily. So whether you are in Canada or the U.S., you can always rely on these 3D maps to get yourself out of tricky situations.

Unlike a few other top GPS applications, you won’t have to worry about map updates until the end of 2010. So that should give you plenty of time to enjoy your app without paying for updates. I found the app to be very easy to work with. Entering an address and following directions on the map is very easy. The voice commands were very clear, and the lane assistance feature was a plus. What I like about this app is that you are not reliant on your network connection for directions. Essentially, you still get directions even if you are in a dead zone. The automatic re-route feature works like a charm as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Fritz is one of the best chess engines in the world. I got introduced to the Fritz family in the 90s. It feels almost like yesterday when I picked up Fritz 4.01 to take my chess game to the next level. Fast forward a few years, and we finally have Fritz Chess on the iPhone. Fritz is no ordinary chess game. It’s a super engine that can help you analyze games, play rated games, and take your chess game to the next level. Fritz is more than a game. It’s a comprehensive chess training system that helps you get your game to the next level, and now you can do it all on your iPhone.

What I like about Fritz chess is all the game modes that are available on it. The Blitz mode is useful if you want to play quick games. The long games are closer to what you see in a classical chess game. You can also turn the clock off and go without a limit. I obviously don’t recommend that unless you have trouble managing your clock. Fritz also have many levels to help players from all levels to have fun without getting beat to a pole by it. Fritz can be ruthless if you choose the highest rating level. So if you are a chess newbie, I strongly encourage you to adjust the playing level to have more fun with Fritz.

Piano Sharp lets you pre-record up to 3 different parts of your songs separately and then put them together. The piano is very easy to play with. You can use the accelerometer to manage the piano more effectively. Another feature that I loved in this app was the ability to export recorded songs and also import MIDI files.
