Loopt Brings Background Location to the iPhone
Mini_discussion_bubble ReadWriteWeb - Posted Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:33:26 UTC +00:00
It looks like the first runner has crossed the finish line in the race to bringing background location functionality to the iPhone, and the winner is Loopt, an early entry in the location-based services arena. Aside from multitasking (or pseudo-multitasking, if you will) and those helpful organizer folders, background location was one of the most anticipated features of iOS 4, and Loopt clearly shows us why - even though it's just the tip of the background-location iceberg. Persistent location means one thing - you don't need to interact with your iPhone and let it know that you want it to check your location and give you information based on that data. Instead, you can allow your iPhone to consistently monitor your location in various apps and when it comes across a certain set of conditions, notify you. In the case of Loopt, this means that you don't have to walk around Read More
20 Smartphone Apps for the Home and Garden - NYTimes.com
Mini_discussion_bubble The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia - Posted Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
FOR a device that is designed to be used while on the go, the smartphone turns out to be a surprisingly adept aid to anyone working on a home or garden. And with mobile applications now numbering in the hundreds of thousands, the question is not “Are there apps out there to help my renovation/garden project/home-repair project?” but “Which ones?” Below, 20 mobile tools that will help make your smartphone a better “home” computer than, well, your home computer. Home Improvement Paint chips can be daunting. (How many shades of gray can there be?) Rather than attempting to decipher them all, find a hue you like in the real world and turn it into a gallon of paint with either of these tools. Both Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams offer free applications that analyze the colors within photos you have snapped or uploaded to your mobile, and then display the closest matches Read More

Reviews

This is the best Craigslist app of all!
Arty from NYC 5.0 stars Version: 1.5011.2235
The latest update actually REMOVED the censorship in previous versions of this app. Simply go to "Account" and click on "Adult Content Settings" and you can adjust the settings to all personals categories and more (e.g., showing photos and explicit language). Be sure to save your settings after the adjustment. I have tried almost all the apps for Craiglist and this is the best among all. And it is free!
Stop the Censorship!
PhillyGuy19111 1.0 stars Version: 1.5011.2235
AVOID UPDATING THIS APP! All adult content is removed! Totally useless and bland. What happened to freedom of choice?!?! Is this China or the USA? Let me decide what I should see and what my children should see...goose-stepping dummies.
Don't update!
ljmjag 1.0 stars Version: 1.5010
How dare you report the update as bug fixes when the update removes categories from the program! What are we 6 years old? If you can't be truthful as to report what your update actually does, you can be sure I will never download or purchase another program from you again. Simply outrageous.
Disappointing
Mmm Technology 1.0 stars Version: 1.5010
What would have otherwise been a good app gets a low rating because of the filtered content. This isn't high school. UPDATE: I'm downgrading the rating yet again because with the new update, the personals section was completely removed. You mean I can spend hundreds of dollars on this device as an adult and you're going to tell me what content I can view on it? Pathetic. Also, the update made no mention of removing entire categories. Very sneaky and juvenile. One star. (If you want to get the personals back and haven't synced since you updated the app, just delete the CL app from your touch/phone, and then use iTunes to replace it.)
App store su x
Rrik 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
I'm not a child. I pay to da mn much a month to be censored. Think I'll try a blackberry.
Thanks for the child protection
No more entertainment 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
But I am an adult who doesn't need to be protected from the world. I bought the big boy toy I think I can handle what I view on it.
WAS a great app
xnifex 3.0 stars Version: 1.5008
This WAS a great app until I opened it today & found that they blocked the personals section. How could you block rants & raves? Anyway, I deleted it until they bring back the sections they blocked. If there can be a beer pong app, why block sections of craigslist? EDIT: good job bringing back the categories, now just unblock the profane words & mature images options & we're good to go. Seriously, it's not like Apple is actually telling you to block these, now are they?
NO STARS FOR APP STORE
Oddmercy 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
The app store can choose not to carry an app, but to censor the functionality of an app on my iPhone...? Wow! A new low for Apple. I'm embarrassed for them.
acts like a virus
Deelites 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
Tried to uninstall, keeps reinstalling itself, both on phone and even on itunes on computer. Can't upgrade, or remove, keeps giving errors. As far as I'm concerned it's a virus and I can't get rid of it, even tried restore, hard reset, everything.
Awesome app - Thank you
Whatever!!!!! 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
I don't understand the low ratings... Finally I can check craigslist on the go and even post, which you can't even do on eBay, plus it's free! I love it.
Perfect
Rockosky 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
I'm glad someone finally made an app for Creigslist. I'm always selling or buying something off of there. The page just loads so slow on my itouch
Garbage
Kelmk 1.0 stars Version: 1.5
This app censors the listings. Get craigs mobile list or use safari instead.
Perfect and it has bugs but it's free
riphone 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
I believe is the fastest way to look at postings on craigslist and not for looking adult material give me a break this is free
Fantastical
Baileya1c 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
Now I can post with pics from my iPhone! I've been waiting for a free craigslist app like this since the beginning.
Great app but missing something
Bob Sled 4.0 stars Version: 1.5
I read the review & checked out the photos of the app. Work really simple. It's really easy. But where's the "personals" ? It showed it in the photos. I like to find a date every so often.
No way!
Llugr 4.0 stars Version: 1.5008
Great app but Apple crossed the line by blocking content. Shame on them! What an invasion of my freedom.
great app
panda1717 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
I love that I can post with pictures straight from my phone.
Big Brother Apple
n9mxq 5.0 stars Version: 1.5008
Has crippled one of the finest apps available. Apparently we're not allowed what they deem inappropriate. I give 5 stars to the development team for a great app. Apple gets -5 for censorship.
Butchered
Iathycs 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
A number of popular categories have now been blocked because they are "inappropriate for the application store." You're now given a link to see those through the browser, but navigation and ease of use are shattered. This is censorship, plain and simple, as well as forced factional morality. Shame on Apple, and the devs for bending over. Deleting this app now, as it offers nothing over the built-in browser as of today.
Totally lame
m1ng1st3ch 1.0 stars Version: 1.5
The built in content filter is for 2 year olds. Very lame. Cmon guys this is the Internet! Don't censor it! If mobile Safari can show unfiltered info this should too. Also. No personals kills this app.
Not so great anymore
Cosmic Crash 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
Would have gave a 5 star but now most of it is blocked! Takes a village to raise a kid? No! It takes parents who should control what their damn kids are doing! I raised my kids on my own & managed just fine to control what my kids did on the hm computer as well as keeping a close eye on their cell ph use. So now we have to put limits on the browser as well because people are not responsible enough to watch their own kids? Don't be the village idiot!! Give the village a freakin break and take care your own kid! What a waste of a good thing. I think I see a Blackberry... Yes! Screw this, if I as an adult Im not allowed to make my own choice. I work too damn hard to be blocked!!!
WTF?
Jay1900yj 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
This was a great app until the blocked content for personals and what not. This was my most use app and now will be deleted as this is a bunch of bull. Kids shouldn't own an iPhone anyways so why does the content have to be blocked. What a waste and can't believe apple did this!
On the go.
LlL808 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
It was a great idea and I love it. You can search sub categories under options. It makes it easier to read then the browser is. Plus I can post on the go!
Finally the ability to post..
SurferNerd 3.0 stars Version: 1.5
Ok, so I've had craigsmobilelist for a long time, I love it's interface, but the ability to post was never added. This app allows me to post finally, BUT the interface is not up to par. There's no categories, just search. I give it it three stars, now only if the two companies can think together and merge their creations it would be perfect!
Censorship is always a poor commentary on the state of a company
Genericnic 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008

Was good!! Now junk!!!
Craigs phony 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
You all know the story! Was five star app now it is five star crap!!!
Censorship
Latinnftl 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
While I respect Apple's right to police apps and limit offensive material at the beginning; however, the censoring of applications is too autocratic. They have blocked the access via the application to the personals section of CL. In addition to the paternalistic nature it is completely ironic because you can download a host of other apps that can show you porn on the Internet or even allow users to upload X pictures of themselves. What's next? Safari restrictions? UPDATE. I disagree with Jimmi's review. It's not my obligation to "raise a child" by having my phone blocked from content I as an adult want to read. The parents of the child have to raise their children and if they give then an Internet charged phone without supervision then they are asking for a problem. Jimmi's thinking is at the root of censorship.
Ok so far
Sexy sheep 4.0 stars Version: 1.5
I don't care about personals so for the classifies it works great. It loads more than 25 posts which is superior to the other free CL app and you can post listing right on the iPhone. But I have to complain about something to the developers. Can you have subcategories under each major categories? Like when I clock For Sale, I just want furniture not toys or cars. Or when I go to community I just want to see pets subcategory. Can you add in subcategories please? Otherwise good free app. Thank you!
Epic fail
trvs 1.0 stars Version: 1.5008
Was fine until they started blocking parts of CraigsList. What's the point of this app... Just use the website.
Best craigslist app!
NinjaKilla 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
Works well, better than other apps
the best of the best
SICKPEGASUS 5.0 stars Version: 1.5
the best craigs for iphone and it's free
Does have personals AND sub categories
AnotherEdd 5.0 stars Version: 1.5008
I just want to add here that this application allows ALL adult craigslist items but it is just turned off by default. Hit the account button and select the 'adult content settings' button and turn on or off thosethings you want to see. It's just sad that so many vulgar reviews claim no personals when they are there and with pics if desired. Surely you can see why a free app would have these turned off by default right? Kids right? Sad reviews. Also touching the blue arrow to the right of the main categories takes you to the sub categories page for sale>>free for example BUT you have to touch exacty on the arrow or thewhole line turns blue and takes you to all posts. I'm confident a quick update would fix this. So don't buy into the 1 star reviews IT HAS PERSONALS AND ADULT CONENT BUT YOU HAVE TO WNABLW IT IN THE SETTINGS BE SURE TO EXIT THE APP AND LAUNCH IT AGAIN TO SEE THE NEW CATEGORIES AND ADULT CONENT TO BE AVAILABLE. thanks for a great app. Ed
