Top Rated Apps by MF Software

Top Rated Apps is an application that lets you browse only the BEST apps in the iTunes App Store, online or OFFLINE, and save FAVORITES to a list for purchase later!
* Praise From Reviewers of Top Rated Apps *
“Top Rated Apps makes it easier to find applications that are worth downloading…it takes all of the grief out of this process for you.”
—-DailyAppShow.com
“This is an astonishing app, it makes it so much quicker and easier to find top rated apps…you would be foolish not to install it.”
—-MacCreate.com
“Browsing on the iPhone for apps is becoming a real pain in the ass, and that’s where Top Rated Apps comes in.”
—-iPhoneAppReviews.net
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
Our editors have reviewed literally thousands of apps on the store, and included over 500 apps (including over 300 games) that YOU the users have rated on average 4 star or higher. No more do you have to browse through hundreds of 2-star apps (*cough* Lifestyle and Entertainment apps *cough* *cough*) to find the few gems; instead, we’ve collected hundreds and hundreds of the best apps as rated by YOU the users in one powerful app! We’ve organized the Top Rated Apps by category, so you can browse them just like you would in the App Store.
The great thing is, the large database of apps we’ve assembled is stored *in the application itself* instead of being downloaded from the internet during use like in most other app store browsing apps (although it does update app info during browsing). So, you can browse icons, ratings, descriptions, etc. (everything except screenshots) OFFLINE! This is perfect for your iPod Touch when you aren’t near wifi - or for when you are on your iPhone on an airplane - or anywhere you don’t have a fast connection!
Finding all these great apps wouldn’t be any good if you couldn’t build a list of your favorites for later. So we’ve built in an easy way to add apps you like to a Favorites tab, so that you can add apps NOW and then decide which ones to buy LATER. No more forgetting which apps you liked, and having to look for them all over again!
Top Rated Apps is $1.99 in the iTunes App Store

PromptMe by Jesse Armand

You might already know “Prompt”, you might think that Prompt’s user interface is a bit unique, though I admit it’s not something spectacular, just different.
From the first day I released Prompt, someone wants to chat using Prompt, and someone said Prompt will be a wicked setup for a messenger app.
So here it’s PromptMe, an improvement of Prompt, which is still looks like Prompt, but the difference is you’re Prompting a human instead of a stupid computer or machine.
You don’t have to follow a computer’s guidance, just open PromptMe, send a message, and somebody out there in the world will read your message, and you can be sure that your thoughts and your deepest expressions will be heard.
Expect replies every once a while, and you will feel that you’re not alone, but you’re connected to the world out there.
Several important features:
1. Get new message, this will allow you to receive new broadcasted message, when you touch the blinking text, below the prompt.
2. Remove, will allow you to remove certain conversation with someone.
3. Sync, will allow you to retrieve past conversations from the server with someone, in case you delete the app, and reinstall, as long as you don’t do the next one, “Clear”.
4. Clear, will allow you to remove all past conversations from your app and from the server.
5. Previous and Next, will allow you to browse through your local conversations.
Navigation between command prompt and conversations are done by shaking the device or at the point of received reply.
PromptMe is designed with the idea of we’re more comfortable talking with anyone, without exposing our true identity, and I can assure you, this app does not collect any personal information from you, should you choose so.

App Review: IM+ All-In-One Messenger by Shape Services
August 21, 2009 by Rob
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Lifestyle, Utility
IM+ All-In-One Messenger by Shape Services is likely the best IM client for the iPhone that’s in the app store. First launched back in November, IM+ has lead the pack with features and integration into pretty much every IM protocol out there including Twitter and Skype. Bringing all these services into a single app, with push notifications is awesome. The latest update also added Twitter DM messages into the mix as well.
I’ve been using IM+ for a while now and while it is the most expensive messaging app that I could find, there’s a pretty good reason for it. IM+, along with integration to all of the popular protocols, is a very polished and complete app. The following features are included:
FEATURES:
- The widest support of IM networks including Twitter and Skype chat
- Apple Push notifications for all supported networks. Stay online even when IM+ is closed
- Twitter: View friends’ timeline, favorites, direct messages and replies
- Send voice messages as MP3 files - yes, playable back on any Mac, PC or mobile
- Send photos
- Send video on iPhone 3G S
- Send Geo-location
- Use custom status messages including Geo-status
- Use cool wallpapers from your Photo library or from IM+ in your chat windows
- Full emoticons support
- Avatar support
- Embedded browser
- Multi-lingual support. Chat in any language supported by your iPhone/iPod Touch
- Landscape mode convenient typing
The only drawback that I can find or think or with IM+ is the steep price. Shape Services have been experimenting with pricing (we’ve seen the app between $0.99 and $9.99) over the months. The current price is $9.99 so it is possible to wait and get it cheaper. However, if you’re looking to the ultimate in iPhone chat clients then this is it. No matter what you pay for it, if you use IM a lot then you will get your money’s worth out of this app.

Filed under App DB, Healthcare & Fitness, Lifestyle
If you are trying to lose weight, here’s a way to see your weight loss progress in a visual way.
It’s a new iPhone app to help with people’s weight loss goals.
We first developed this model almost three years ago as a google gadget. Lots of people have been using it and find it fun and motivational. Now we’ve added a few additional features and have created it as an iPhone app.
You can find it at the iPhone app store under Virtual Weight Loss Model.
Customize it with your current weight, goal weight, heaviest weight and your height.
The model is based on body mass index (BMI) calculations. So it will look different for people who are different heights but who weigh the same. If people like it we’ll be adding more options, including a male model.
Depending on your preference, you can input your personal data in pounds or kilograms, inches or centimeters.
You can customize your model’s skin and hair color, shoe and dress color.
