Review: SkyFire for iPhone Brings Flash to iPhone, iPod touch

SkyFire, produced by Skyfire Labs, Inc. is an app that brings flash to the iPhone and iPod touch. While the app does play full flash videos on most sites on the web, there are the exceptions where video does not play. Skyfire labs has great customer service that accepts request from within the app for sites that currently don’t play videos. After receiving a request , Skyfire will do it’s best to fix the site to work on the browser. The browser works very smoothly, loading pages very quickly and efficiently. The settings in the app are spot on, giving you all controls at once with the click of 3 buttons or less. There were a couple of negative parts of the app that I felt could use a bit more work:

1) The Social Sharing and SkyBar at the bottom gave the browser a cluttered feel, and I was always fearing that I would click something that I didn’t want to click.

2) Simplicity is lacking. The multiple buttons on top should be brought down and should display in full in landscape view.

3) Allow the browser to scroll back to top with the touch of the bar up top (similiar to Safari)

4) Needs a few maintenance and stability updates (mulitple crashes since download)

Skyfire is a great replacement for Safari, if only small features could be fixed. Other than that, there are no problems and the app runs and does what it’s supposed to do. It’s a truly great app and there isn’t another application in all of the App Store that does as good a job of playing flash videos than Skyfire does. I suggest you download it, it’s definetely worth giving a try.

Tap Tap Revenge 3 Now Free In App Store

Tap Tap Revenge 3, Tapulous’ newest gem for the iPhone is now free in the Apple App Store. Yesterday, Tapulous announced that their latest TTR is going to be free. Many blogs inferred that this was mainly  because Tapulous is currently making 1 million dollars in revenue per month, letting customers get a break wile still enjoying their great products. TTR3 has been known to have many glitches and problems, but Tapulous is working hard to try and resolve these issues.

The best solution , I found as a TTR3 player is to delete the app and redownload it if you have any problems and for those of you that bought the app days before it became free, don’t worry, Tapulous didn’t forget you. As a mtter of fact, they gave previous purchases extra song purchases along with the already included songs. Either way, with problems and all Tapulous has given us the best Christmas present that they can.
