Pair It!

pair-it1

Lets say that you are going out on a fancy dinner and you get confused by the food and wine combination. Rejoice, those days are finally over, thanks to your ever faithful iPhone. The Pair It! iPhone app is a fully searchable, easy to use app that  opens up the world of food, wine and pairing them together. For anyone who likes wine, food, throwing dinner parties or just wants to impress with a special gift, this app will definitely help. There are four searchable categories aside from the general search: food, wine, swirl and pairings (pairings includes “my favorites” and “Chef Bruce’s Picks”. Each category is loaded with information, suggestions, pairings and general information.The food category is searchable by specifics like cheeses, salads, entrees, desserts, etc. The wine category is broken up by red, white, sparkling, etc. Each of these holds information that can be used when pairing, cooking, tasting or looking for something new. Within each of these, Pair It! has the option to email the information or add a personal note that is saved with the specific wine or food.Another feature that I really enjoyed was the Swirl option. Similar to the UrbanSpoon app in that it is basically a shake for random results type of deal, “swirling” gives you a paired food and wine that will have you all but running to the kitchen. You don’t have to be a world known chef to know what combination to make, you can razzle and dazzle everyone, and you don’t even have tp share your secret.

Marriage Calculator

mzltrazkfdm480x480-751

Marriage Calculator is  a fun and interesting app that is not supposed to be taken seriously. It compares your circumstances versus statistical data from the U.S. census, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and studies conducted by universities and it gives you a rough assessment on how your marriage is doing. But like I said, since the data readings are coming from your phone I have to stress that this is strictly for entertainment purposes and you shouldn’t fall into depression if it states that your marriage does no stand a chance in hell.

These are the factors taken into consideration by Marriage Calculator:

  • State where the marriage takes place
  • Age of each spouse
  • Living arrangement: apart, shacking up, or married
  • How long you’ve known each other
  • Loose estimate of your communication skills on a scale of 1-5
  • Education level
  • Children from previous marriages
  • “Have own children before marriage”
  • Economic class
  • Marital history: never before, married once, widowed, or multiple
  • Religious beliefs
  • Race

Quitter

I am not a smoker, so I wouldn’t know the feeling of trying to get rid of such a habit. But I have been told that it is hard as hell. My friends have used everything, from chewing gum, to fake cigarettes, to smoking patches, but so far nothing has worked. Well nothing until they discovered the most interesting and useful iphone app. The Quitter app, just like its name, are here to help you lead a healthier life, and leave your cigarettes with a totally new approach. Humanity is a very interesting race, you tell them smoking kills, and there is hardly any result, but if you tell them the amount of money they are going to save if they quit smoking, and what they could buy with those money then there is a massive quitting all around the globe. How does it work? -Very simple. Just enter the cost of the cigarettes you are smoking at the moment, and watch as this program keeps track of the money that you are saving. Another thing you can do is enter the date when you have decided to quit your cigarettes, enter the average number of smoked cigarettes per day, and just watch as the days go by and how you are starting to feel healthier, and your wallet a lot fatter. I know that quitting smoking can be one of the most difficult things you will do, but a quick glance at the dollar signs on your iphone will help you stay on track. Try it, it’s your health we are talking about. And if you are not a smoker, recommend this app to your loved ones. It’s free so really, there is nothing you can loose.

Grocery iQ

mzljsanjfrl320x480-756

This application is design to write a shopping list within your iphone. With this application you can get your grocery items within an email away from the designated shopper. Some features include arranging list, match layout with your store, purchase history and checking the items that is in your cart. Grocery IQ has a huge list of grocery items in its database. I have not found one item that I have tried to search for that was not in the database. This makes it much easier to add items to your list or to save them as favorites. One other nice thing about having the items in a database is that the descriptions are usually much more detailed than I would have entered on my own.

Kinky Dice

kinky-dice1

This is an interesting iphone application that sadly won’t do you any good if you are single. The app is for couples only and if you download it you will see what I mean. If you or your other half are bored and have nothing better to do, then just stay at home and have some fun with this unconventional app. It works in a way that it has two lists, one containing body parts, and the other one containing an action to be performed, so all you have to do is create a romantic atmosphere, unplug your phone so no one can interrupt, put on some smooth music, dress into something slick and sexy (or just wear your birthday suit) pour a glass of wine and simply follow the app’s instructions. How do you do that? - Simply shake your iphone and the lists will start to move, each of them halting at a precise body part and an action which then you have to follow without any objection. I know that a lot of couples will appreciate  it. This is definitely one of the sexiest and the most seductive parts out there, which makes it a perfect present for Valentine’s day, your birthdays or anniversaries, or any other day when you want to sped some extra special time with your other half. Enjoy! -Oh, how silly of me, I know you will.
