Ringr Roulette Now FREE

Ringr-Roulette-IconJPG Just a quick heads-up for our KRAPPS viewers. Remember our friend Twisted John and his Ringr Roulette app … the one that encourages you rather than prevents you from drunk dialing – so even if you are totally plastered and unable to push buttons, just shake your iPhone to dial a number. Well Twisted John has decided to offer Ringr Roulette for FREE through Monday morning, Jan. 19. So if you missed our Ringr Roulette giveaway, immediately job on this twisted iPhone app now!

Doesn’t Work – Made Me Puke

Title: BeerCounter
Category: Entertainment

BeerCounterDesc Introducing the greatest iPhone app of all time => BeerCounter! Yes, with this amazing app you will be able to keep track of the number beers you have consumed! 

But wait … that’s not all. There is a date/time setting which will display the date and time of your binge! And there is a value function – displays the total dollar amount of your gorge! 

To ensure top-notch, user-friendliness … just touch your iPhone’s screen (it’s big enough so even if you are on beer #17 you can continue using BeerCounter) and the next sequential digit will appear.

Everyone will agree, this app is AMAZING – just read actual App Store user reviews:

“I love this app … while my friends have to use paper and pencil to keep track, I just have to tap my iPhone”

 

“Great app … officer I swear I’ve only had 4 beers! Check my iPhone”

 

“Doesn’t work … I got this app thinking it would count my glasses of wine, but all it does is count beer … the app lost count and I ended up puking”

 

“This is an app? Why?”

 

“The creator of this app should pay people to download it”

 

“iPhone apps are getting dumber by the day”

And stay tuned … more great apps coming soon from developer Softwaretechnik: sleeping-aid, SheepCounter … for rhythm method users, KidCounter … for the player, GirlfriendCounter … for the Bill Gates wannabe, MoneyCounter … for Wilt Chamberlain wannabe, ShagCounter.

Taxi Me

Title: Taxi Hold’em
Category: Entertainment

hailingcabsmall Have you ever hailed a cab? Yes, I know, I know … I feel ya … what a pain in the ass … just a total nightmare having to wave your arm at an approaching taxi to make it stop … honestly, I’d rather go to the dentist or drive a nail through my head than attempt to stop a cab. It’s brutal and most of us simply cannot get the hang of this whole hail a cab thing.

Taxi-Holdem-Hand Well I’m here to deliver good news – rejoice – the Taxi Hold’em app has arrived! For a mere 99 cents, you’ll have those rotten cab drivers come to a screeching halt every time they see you display your Taxi Hold’em app. And I’ll let you in on a little secret … the Taxi Hold’em app has magical superpowers … oh hell yeah … push a button, flash your iPhone and you’ll be entering taxi stopping nirvana. Rumor has it that the Taxi Hold’em app is so powerful that it will stop all taxis within a one mile radius (supposedly the $2.99 version covers a three mile range). And get this … when a driver picks you up while using this app, you’ll receive VIP treatment … don’t believe, just read below what Dave The Cabbie says on the developer’s web site:

Taxi-Holdem-Web 
But with any great app, there are possible hazards (epilepsy and getting run over by a cab) … so before using Taxi Hold’em, carefully read the disclaimer on the developer’s web site.

Taxi-Holdem-Web2 
Finally, I must caution you … this powerful app is very complex. All sorts of techno KRAPPS going on with Taxi Hold’em … transition settings, pace options, audio selections, etc. Fortunately for all of us, the developers have released what they call “The OFFICIAL Taxi Hold’em Instruction Video” … good thing, because this app was really starting to confuse the KRAPPS out of me. So on that note, streaming directly from the developer’s web site, we  leave you with “The OFFICIAL Taxi Hold’em Instruction Video” …BeerMe

(ps – I can actually see a similar useful app called “Beer Me” … great for crowded bars, jam-packed parties or sellout ballgames/concerts. And no, a pickup line version inspired by the movie Cocktail is not a good idea.)

anti-KRAPPS: EA Mobile

update 1/13/09: all SPORE download codes have been claimed – thank you

Ea_mobile_logo EA Mobile is the powerhouse of iPhone applications. Based near Los Angeles, in Playa Vista, California (Spanish for “ocean view” – yeah, no kidding – check out their insane building pictured below), seems these folks have the iMidasTouch – everything they touch, turns into iPhone gold.

ea hq

Since the App Store opened in August 2008, EA Mobile has released eight iPhone apps, seven of which were ranked in the Top 50. At the time of this writing, five apps are still in the prestigious Top 50: Monopoly #6, Tetris #7, Scrabble #27, SimCity #36, Spore #45. Pretty freaking amazing and safe to say … all EA Mobile’s iPhone apps are 100% anti-KRAPPS Certified.

product-thumbnail_monopoly,1    product-thumbnail_Tetris,0    product-thumbnail_simcity_iphone    product-thumbnail_Yahtzee%20Adv

product-thumbnail_spore    product-thumbnail_sudoku    product-thumbnail_scrabble    product-thumbnail_ffootball

EA Mobile is a studio (yeah, the geeks got creative and coined the term “studio” rather than simply using “division”) of worldwide video game giant Electronic Arts (EA). EA launched their mobile games initiative in 2004. In 2006, EA acquired JAMDAT for $680 million (US$) and renamed the company EA Mobile. At the time, JAMDAT had 350 employees with locations worldwide: Los Angeles, Honolulu, Montreal, Tokyo, London, Bucharest and Hyderabad. The acquisition immediately positioned EA as the leading global player in the mobile video game market.

Anti-Krapps-Seal-v2GIF This year, EA Mobile will continue to strengthen their position in the market by releasing such highly anticipated iPhone games as Need for Speed Undercover and Tiger Woods 09. These apps are receiving huge buzz and are pretty much guaranteed to join their predecessors on the superbad Top 50 list, while receiving the 100% anti-KRAPPS Certified seal of approval. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for an EA Mobile fart app … come on guys, do it … take that iMidasTouch of yours and release the Golden iFarts app … it would be epic!

Free SPORE Origins app to KRAPPS viewers! A $6.99 value!

iphone-sporev2 EA Mobile was kind enough to provide KRAPPS with promo codes which will allow our viewers to download SPORE Origins for FREE (code only valid in the U.S. App Store). Be one of the first 4 readers to tweet on Twitter:

anti-KRAPPS – TextLater

>>> and now for a break from our regularly scheduled programming <<<
anti-KRAPPS is a periodic update highlighting lesser known apps (no one needs another “Google Earth Rocks!” review) which provide high value and excellent functionality. ==================================================================

Title: TextLater
Category: Productivity

update 1/8/09: all TextLater download codes have been claimed – thank you

Oh krapps, I forgot to pick up my kid from school!
Oh krapps, I forgot to send that package to the winner of my eBay auction!
Oh krapps, I forgot to sign up for health insurance!
Oh krapps, I forgot to buy fish food!

textlatericon I am busy. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to complete my never-ending task/project list. Although I’m not a hip Google or Outlook Calendar geek (or a Day-Timer dork), I do manage to keep myself fairly well organized. However, similar to most people, I experience my share of “oh krapps” moments.

Well I’m happy to report that my share of “oh krapps” moments have drastically reduced thanks to the TextLater iPhone app. I use this app on a daily basis. In a nutshell, with TextLater, you can schedule text messages to be delivered on a specific date and time. Pretty simple concept, but for my purposes as a self-reminder, its pure genius. TextLater’s possibilities are endless:

textlaterscreen2 > Travel a lot on business? Send daily “Good Morning” texts to your loved one.
> Someone’s birthday? Schedule a “Happy Birthday” text to arrive on that special day.
> Do you suck at romance? Send periodic “I Love You” texts to your wife.
> Promised to deliver McDonald’s lunch to your child at school at noon? Send yourself a reminder at 11:00am.

Sure you can set self-reminders with the horrid native iPhone Calendar app and its lame chime alert … but why? For a mere 99 cents, TextLater is so much better, more convenient and provides greater functionality (not to mention the developer – Skidmore Apps –  just released a fantastic update which shows they are committed to continually improving the app). Heck, with daily “I Love You” text messages, it might be more effective and cheaper than marriage counseling.

FREE TextLater app to KRAPPS Viewers!

Skidmore Apps was kind enough to provide KRAPPS five promo codes which will allow our viewers to download TextLater for FREE. Be one of the first 5 readers to tweet on Twitter:

“got iPhone? visit KRAPPS! outing whacky, weird, stupid & strange apps for your entertainment. http://KRAPPS.com”

We will then direct message you the download code while supplies last. Make sure you follow us on Twitter – @KRAPPS – so we can direct message the code.
