App box Pro 59p or $0.99
For my 2nd review of the day i’ve decided to take a look at the number 1 paid app in the uk app store which is app box pro, this is a collection of iPhone and iPod utilities, so is it jack of all trades master of none? lets take a look.
The home screen is well presented and looks good, there are 18 applications, so it is high value as i payed the same price just for a battery checker which this app does. Some of the apps featured are utterly pointless like the random number generator. I figure the best way to review this app is to review each individual function then decide if its useful or not
Battery life, a nice batter indicator looks good and tells you how long the phone will last using the different functions of the iPhone except camera overall high quality. Useful
Clinometer, this is basically a spirit level you can change between surfaces and the bubble ones making it possible to measure how stirght your table is, this would be useful if you were doing diy but not in everyday life, and when needed it does its job well giving you the options to do it on 3 different sets of measurements and calibrate it. Useful for diy.
Currency converter, I have to say this is the best converter i’ve ever used providing real time updates as you change the original rate and a simple to use interface. useful
dashboard, displays the date exchange rate and upcoming holidays around the world and some stats about your iPhone. useful
date calculator, tells you the number of days between the current date and a set date, has a good interface not very useful though.
The days until app just doesnt work so it’s not useful at all.
Flash light, makes the screen white theres a fun little colour slider if you want to illuminate things different colours but it’s not very good. Not useful
Holidays, tells you all the holidays dates and how long ago or how long until them, pretty pointless in all honesty but its useful for finding out how long till christmas its 89 days according to this. not useful
Loan, calculates the amount your paying a month on a loan and allows you to compare them this is useful especially if you have borrowed money and need to know how much to save per week to repay it by the deadline. useful
pCalender its Essentialy a period calculator allowing women to work out when there next period is and when they might get pregnant, it seems pointless to me but i’m a man so i’m willing to be corrected in the comments. not useful
Price grab, shows you which is better value at how much things cost. useful
random, a random number generator. totally useless
ruler, it’s a ruler its about 7 cm long so not useful
sale price, works out the cost of sale items by doing the maths for you , quite useful when out shopping.
system info, well it does what its says in the title gives you information about your phone in some nice pie charts useful for seeing how full your hardrive is on the go.
tip calculator, calculates how much to tip the waiter, useful in restaurants
Translator, another strong translator, this is quite useful as it allows you to favorite or mail the translations. useful
google books and apple web apps i’m going to count as one thing because there both pretty useless and use the web, google books is Essentially google books like you’d find on the internet.
collapse, a very bad game useless.
So in conclusion this is a very useful set of applications and is very very good value for money a strong recommendation, I will not do a video review for this app as showing everything will tak to long.
