MONDAY GIVEAWAYS: iPad and iPhone App Bundles

By

whatsappmsgss.jpg

Isn’t it weird that when we see something at the store for $2.99, we don’t spend much time figuring out whether we should buy it, but when it’s a mobile app, we definitely hesitate. Maybe it’s because we don’t get a good chance to demo the product before we purchase. But, Cult of Mac takes away all of that hesitation, because we give away premium iPad and iPhone apps ALL THE TIME!  We’ll pick 5 random winners to win 6 great apps. If you want a chance to get your hands on some great apps this week, then follow the instructions carefully below:

  1. Follow us on Twitter (you must do this, if you’re not following us, we can’t contact you if you win).
  2. Tweet this: @cultofmac and @appular are hooking us up with killer iPhone and iPad apps! #cultofmac
  3. Your tweet will be your entry into the giveaway, only ONE entry is allowed per person, and the giveaway will last until 11:59pm tonight. We’ll contact the winners on Tuesday or Wednesday and how to get the codes!
  4. Optional step – Tell us what you think about these apps if you own them already in the comments section.

Special Thanks to Appular for helping us put together these app code giveaways! If you’ve got a mobile app that you’d like marketed effectively, contact the good folks at Appular!

Apple is nice enough to cover the iPhones for a fairly hassle-free 1 year manufacturer’s warranty, but we all know that a lot of issues come up in the year after that and AppleCare doesn’t cover your phone for accidental issues. A lot of you have probably ALREADY dropped your iPhone or spilled beer on it. SquareTrade is a quality third-party warranty company that offers extended warranties for just about every consumer electronic you can think of! We got your back when it comes to taking care of your precious iPhone, and SquareTrade has offered to give away 2 FREE Extended Warranty plans for the iPhone 4 to two of our lucky Cult of Mac readers!

MONDAY GIVEAWAY: 4 SWEET Apps To Trick Out Your iPad

By

camera

Over 1 million iPads have been sold since it first came out almost a month ago, and we’re guessing that many of our readers have one, am I right? If you don’t, sorry to rub it in your face, but we’ll be giving away 4 iPad apps today as part of our ongoing Monday Giveaway series. We want to thank Brian from Appular for putting this app bundle together. If you’re an iPhone or iPad app developer, make sure you consider Appular for all of your marketing efforts. First, let’s go through how to enter to win the apps:

  1. Become a Fan of our Facebook page.
  2. Find your favorite article from the past week or two, and copy the link to it.
  3. Log in to your Facebook profile, go to your status messaging box, and tag our Facebook page in your status, and write a sweet message to us. Then, attach a link to your favorite CoM article, and click “Share”.
  4. We’ll pick 5 profiles that tagged us in their status at random and you’ll win 4 iPad app codes!

We’ve done the status tagging thing in the past, and some of you have had issues with it. So, I’ve taken the precious time out of my day to put together a short demonstration on how to do it. Remember, the privacy settings of the status message must be set to “Everyone” or else the status tag won’t show up on our page, and we’ll have no idea that you tagged us.

Monday Giveaways: Touch Pad for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad

By

touch pad for iphone, ipod touch, and ipad

The Touch Pad App is in my opinion, Edovia’s best application for your mobile Mac devices and now the iPad. For those of you who use a Mac Mini for your home entertainment and digital storage set up in your living room or bedroom, you must get this application. Basically, it turns your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad into a touch pad similar to the one on the Macbook. It can also act as an Apple remote. There have been some glitches and movements that didn’t work like the touch pads on the Macbooks, but Edovia just came out with their latest version of the app (3.1), and they cleaned up a lot of those issues. Still, this is a great app to have, and guess what, we’re giving it away for FREE today!

We’re doing something a little different today. In order to get this app, you gotta be on your “A” game with your Cult of Mac knowledge. We’re going to ask you trivia from articles published since last Tuesday (April 13th). Make note that the app codes we’re giving away are only good for the United States version of iTunes. Sorry to all of our international readers, but when we get sent promo codes, they’re usually always the U.S. version. We’ll try to ask for some international codes in the future.

  1. Become a fan of our Facebook page if you aren’t already.
  2. Throughout the day, we’ll post a trivia question, and the first person that answers correctly will win one of the Touch Pad app codes. We have six codes to give away, so we’ll be doing six different trivia questions.
  3. To redeem the app code, you can do so through iTunes or directly no the device you want to install it on. For instance, on the iPhone, you can go to the “App Store” app, scroll down, and tap on the “Redeem” button, then type the code in that we provide you and it will automatically download on your phone.

This is a $3.99 app, and if you’re like me, I hate paying for anything over a $1, so have some fun with this one, make sure you’re up to speed on what was going on with Cult of Mac last week, and keep refreshing our Facebook page every now and then today. Good luck!

By

facebook giveaway

We’re doing a little spring cleaning, and we have a bunch of iPhone Apps to unload. I don’t have enough of each one to make a big giveaway, so I am just going to randomly unload iPhone Apps on our Facebook page throughout the day. Some of them will be iPhone apps that we’ve given away in the past couple of weeks, and others will be apps that didn’t make the cut the first couple of giveaways, but we don’t want them to go to waste! We can’t guarantee that every app code will work, and if it doesn’t just let me know on the Facebook comments, and I’ll help you out.

“Final Fantasy I and II” being remastered on the iPhone

By

20945_278562139364_167831379364_4522682_4992061_n

With the recent release of Song Summoner for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Square Enix basically cemented their commitment to the App Store as a gaming distribution platform, so it’s no surprise that a mere few weeks later, the JRPG makers have announced through their Facebook page that they will be bringing Final Fantasy I and II to Apple handhelds sometime soon.

There’s no official word on pricing or release, but the first two Final Fantasy games have been endlessly re-mastered over the last twenty years (despite — or perhaps even because of — the fact that they are remarkably simple, plotless yet addicting games). The iPhone version seems to take the graphical remastering of the games to a new level: although I’ve played the remastered Final Fantasy I and II package on Sony’s PSP console recently, the crisp, colorful, super-deformed sprites on display in the iPhone version are an improvement of several orders of magnitudes. Final Fantasy I and II on the iPhone looks like it’ll quickly become the new standard for retro-gaming fans of the series.
