Scribbler Top 5

iPod Touch and iPhone Apps

By Jeff W., Scribbler Reporter

For this week's Scribbler Top 5, the topic is iPod Touch and iPhone Apps. To make sure that everyone finds something that they will like, we have decided to take the best app for each category across five categories: Sports, Games, Lifestyle, Entertainment and Social Networking . The top App from these 5 categories is as follows:

Category: Sports

App: Scorecenter

Maker: ESPN

Cost: Free

Description: A great way to follow your favorite sports and teams. Over 30 sports and multiple leagues and teams that you can choose to follow right from your iPod Touch and iPhone. Get in-depth reviews and analysis from previous games and read game previews. Use live commentary if you're away from home and don't have access to a TV. Do note that this app needs Wi-Fi to run.  

Category: Games

App: Angry Birds

Maker: Clickgamer Technologies Ltd.

Cost: $0.99

Description: The survival of baby birds is at stake. Help the angry birds get their eggs back from the evil pigs that stole them. Use the power of the birds to destroy the pigs' castles and get the eggs back. Slingshot the birds into the castle, and if it is a good enough shot, parts of the castle will start to fall off. It may sound like a bit of a weird game, but it is actually really addicting. It is also the number one paid app on the iPhone.

Category: Lifestyle

App: Random Fun Facts

Maker: Matthew King

Cost: $0.99

Description: Over 3,500 random facts. It sounds pretty simple, and boring, but I could look at these for a long time. They are updated every day, so you will never see the same fact twice, and they come from all topics, from weird state laws, to firsts, to facts that can be just plain creepy.   A lot of them are really interesting. If you see a fact that you think is pretty interesting or cool, just add it to your favorites so that you can see it anytime, or share it with friends or family.

Category: Entertainment

App: The Moron Test

Maker: DistinctDev

Cost: $0.99

Description : Do you ever ask yourself the question, ‘ Am I a complete moron?' If you have, download The Moron Test to find out. Have your friends, family and anyone else you want to laugh at take the test, and watch their utter disbelief when they get a seemingly easy question wrong. It also times you and puts your best time up against the rest of the world. See if you can make it to the top of the leader board!

Category: Social Networking

App: Facebook

Maker: Facebook Inc.

Cost: Free

Description: One of the most popular social networking sites on the planet, and a unanimous favorite among Middle Schoolers, Facebook for the iPod Touch and iPhone makes communicating with your friends easy. Update your status or add photos while on the go, or chat with friends. Upload photos from your device directly to your wall. This app does need Wi-Fi to run.

Now that I have talked to you about the top 5 apps that are out there, go to the iTunes Store or go to the App Store on the iPod Touch or iPhone and get downloading!

Note: You must have an iTunes Store account to download all apps off the app store.
