Zoom User Reviews FEATURED APP Share Are you an information fiend or just love learning new things everyday? The world of Wikipedia is an amazing place where you can search for and browse through millions of pages of information on just about any subject you can think of. The Articles iPhone app from Sophiestication Software is an Encyclopedia of sorts that lets you browse and search Wikipedia articles from your iPhone or iPod touch. The app comes with some helpful features that make using Wikipedia on your iPhone a more enjoyable and seamless experience. Since most of the time you’re looking to pinpoint some piece of information rather quickly, having something like Articles on your iPhone can make things a whole lot smoother. Using the search box on the main landing page of the Articles app, start typing in what you’r looking for. The app has a search-as-you-type feature that can save you from having to type out entire words or phrases, which can be a great time saver, especially with long words, or phrases that you can’t quite remember the spelling of. You can narrow your search criteria by either the title or the full content of the Wikipedia article. You can scroll through a list of search results -each with a short preview text- and tap any article to get to its full page. Multiple languages are supported by Wikipedia and Articles makes switching from one to anther a breeze. Just tap the languages button and pick from the nicely categorized list of choices. To make reading easier you can rotate the iPhone or iPod touch and Articles will gracefully redraw the page you’re on to fit the screen. For those who don’t want that feature, just pull down on the screen to rapidly change between locked and unlocked orientation. The only annoying part about this is that you have to be on the top of the page to perform the action which makes it a little cumbersome when you want to unlock the orientation and rotate to read in landscape mode when you’re already half way down a page. Another good feature of Articles is easy zooming on article text. Articles supports pinch/zoom for making the font sizes larger or smaller on the fly. Considering the limited iPhone screen real estate, this is a killer feature to have while reading. The buggy part about this feature is that when you zoom in or out, you lose your place in the article and have to scroll up or down to find out where you where. If the developers figure out a way to fix this issue it would be great. Tapping images loads them up inside a new pop-in window that shows them zoomed in along image with details. Articles, like the native Safari browser supports bookmarks and multiple windows. To easily get back to something, just tap the + icon and save it as a bookmark. You can even create folders to organize them. Opening multiple windows is again similar to the Safari interface by tapping the two window icon on the bottom right and tapping “New Page” where you can search for a new article. Articles also gives you back and forward navigation buttons to move around. Finally, hidden under the bookmarks section you have the ability to find “nearby” articles in Wikipedia, and also load up a random article to read. If you prefer, you can also shake the iPhone to get to a random page on Wikipedia. Overall, Articles is a wonderful and fast loading reference utility for the iPhone, with a clean and familiar user interface that would be a great resource for anyone to have. Especially useful for students, researchers and anyone who has a thirst for knowledge. Appsafari Rating: 4/5 This 3rd Party App is available at the Apple iTunes AppStore.

Articles The Wikipedia App

Zoom User Reviews Share Looking for an iPhone app to spruce up your St. Patrick’s day? Holiday Camera for St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s day & Christmas that lets you take pictures on your iPhone and turn them into holiday greeting cards using pre-built holiday themes to add flare and personalize your photos. Holiday Camera is great for the whole family during the holiday seasons and works great on the iPhone. Using the app is quote simple as you might imagine. When the Holiday Camera app starts you get 3 choices: Valentine, Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day. Tap any button and you’ll get to the next screen where you’ll see the default theme overlaying the view from your iPhone’s camera. You can tap the gift box icon to flick through the set of provided themes for the given holiday. Position your iPhone to where you want the subject to appear in the photo and tap the middle button to snap the photo. You can use the slider button to zoom in/out on your subject for a better fit. Your holiday themed photo is saved to your Camera roll. You can get to the camera roll by tapping the eye button on the right, and view your new photo from within the app. From there you can confirm your creation and email it to anyone you like. Pictures are saved in the normal iPhone size (640X480) and you’re able to switch between seeing them in either full size or shrunk to fit size from here. The app gives you 15 Valentine Themes, 15 Christmas Themes but only 6 St. Patrick’s Day themes. The graphics for the themes and the app itself are very colorful, clean and sharp. You can’t use your existing photos with this app which is kind of a bummer for iPod touch users or for people who don’t have the subject person around to snap a photo of. The christmas and valentine’s day themes play an opening theme song once you start them, which is nice, but strangely enough not the St. Patrick’s day theme. Finally, there is apparently no way, other than quitting and reopening the app, to switch from one holiday to another. Overall, Holiday Camera is a great idea for simple, easy to add holiday flare to your photos on your iPhone. There is room for additional holidays and additional themes, which could make it even better going forward. If you’re into dressing up your photos and get a kick out of the holidays, grab yourself a copy of Holiday Camera and have some fun.
