Frogger

If you aren't a real young buck, you probably are pretty familiar with this game. It's one of the classics and today it is the Amazon App of the Day. It is pretty much exactly how I remember the game, and this is probably why it is getting some low scores. I haven't looked into why the ratings are so low, but I'm assuming that either young kids that don't understand why this is a game or older folks wishing there were some new features are unhappy with the replica game of old. I didn't play many levels of the game because I myself seem to find this type of game tedious and haven't really had the desire to play. It's too bad. During the braces portion of my life I spent many afternoons in the orthodontist office playing the arcade version of this very game. Having only a SNES at the time, I was excited to get my hands on any game I could play, they were all fun and exciting. Today, it seems the gaming world expects a lot more. I have my own game that seems to be suffering from the same issue. Years ago my game may have peeked many people's interest and kept waiting patrons busy, but today it seems the individuals that download my game scoff and curse my name that they even wasted their time with it. The game may bring in the players that reminisce of older simpler times, but I have a feeling that without a new fresh design on the game it won't attract too many young players to the mix. At least everyone can give it a try for free today!

Txt Msg Away Message

This is the Amazon App of the Day today. Neat idea, I wouldn't buy it myself, but since it was free I always give them a try. I probably will never use it and delete it by the end of the week, but I could see myself installing it before a vacation. Turn it on and anyone that tries to bother me while I'm gone would get a big fat auto response of: "Leave me alone, I'm vacaying!" I also understand business peeps who go into meetings and probably can't answer their texts would need an auto response so clients or vicious girlfriends wouldn't get upset with them and drop 'em. Anyway, it's free today, so try it!

App 2 SD Pro

I'm a bit late with this, but the app to the side was recently on Amazon's app of the day. It's a pretty sweet app that lets you quickly move apps from your phones internal memory to any sd card that you have in the phone. The main activity lets you move apps one by one or many at a time. What I feel is the best feature is that the app has a notification system that lets you know if any new application you install is capable of being stored in the sd card. Clicking on the notification sends you straight to the applications option to store it in the card. Enjoy!
