What are the Best and Worst iPhone 3G Apps?

Posted by

Tyler wrote in to tell me of the games and Apps that he wishes he hadn’t wasted his money on in the iPhone App Store. Here is his list:

  • IBeer or IMilk Really this is just terrible. I brought IBeer but not IMilk. Why would you make an application of this? It was cool to see before the App Store, but not now. Just a waste.
  • Vector Pong Remember that flash game 3D Pong? But it uses the Accelerometer, and is very hard to control. Don’t get this game!
  • 300 Bowling Wow… just… wow. Here I am, thinking this is a game I can play once in a while just to have fun. The GUI is terrible, and all you have to do is flick your finger. They even had the guts to include a settings menu. And it’s hard to work the buttons!
  • Level Everyone probably already knows that this is just plain stupid. Why would anyone pay money to use your iPhone as a level? GO OUT AND BUY AN ACTUAL LEVEL!
  • HangmanSim You are probably wondering how this is a bad game? The words are too hard! I played 4 games quickly: Apostle, Deify, Syllabus, and Prolix. WTF?! The first two are related to religion, and the last two… I don’t even know what they mean! This is not “Hangman”, it’s a language lesson!
  • Colour Tilt Why is this sort of popular? When you tilt your iPhone, the screen colour changes. Your can draw… but why?
  • iGotchi So you like to take care of pets? Well this is not the game for you or anyone!
  • SimStapler Yes, I know this one is free. Still, I’m sorry that I downloaded it. You would think a developer would make a game out of it. Maybe it could be about… STAPLING THINGS!
  • Myaccount To Go Its expensive, and doesn’t do a whole lot. Save your cash.
  • Apache Lander Everyone has said it’s bad so I should have taken their advice.
  • FrisbeeGolf Horrible graphics, and a horrible control scheme. It looks decent at first, but it is honestly the worst thing that I have ever seen. It is a waste.
  • AirHockey Completely unresponsive.

So now that we’ve seen Tyler’s list, what’s on yours? What are your favorite Apps you have bought and/or downloaded, and why? And… which ones have you gotten that you wish you hadn’t?
