iPhone 4 AT&T U-Verse Mobile App - Why Only 2.5 Stars?


AT&T recently launched the U-verse app for the iPhone 4. It is an application that allows customers to browse the TV guide, set favorite shows so you see them quickly, set DVR recordings, and watch SELECT recorded shows. iPhone 4 users can utilize the app when connected to a 2G, 3G, or Wi-Fi network. There have been mixed reviews of the product as indicated by a two and a half star rating out of 5 stars in Apple's App store. For most, what the app is able to do in connecting to the DVR and their U-verse package is acceptable; it is what the app does not do that leads to most of the negative comments. The question is, will AT&T take any action to move the app toward the 4-5 Star rating?
First, let's review some positives about the AT&T U-verse mobile application. From almost all accounts the app does exactly what it says it is going to do. Over a 2G or 3G network iPhone4 users can access the TV Guide and set and manage their home DVR, which is very cool. There have been a few that have said a recording they set didn't work but since the recent app update that seems to be a rare occurrence. Furthermore, people have raved about the downloadable content from the AT&T U-verse application. On the iPhone 4 the quality of the videos are impeccable and they do not take too long to download with a Wi-Fi connection. So the app delivers as promised, but why the low rating?
There are a few major complaints about the application that are universal across the board for users. While the app itself is free, to actually access downloadable content an iPhone 4 user must also be signed up for a U300 U-verse package or better. The U300 package is selling for $82 a month without HD channels. If a customer has any package less than the U300 they will not be able to download any shows to their iPhone. Also, the shows that are available for download are the choice of AT&T. It is not live streaming television, or even shows that have been recorded on the users' home DVR. Many are upset that they can't watch the shows they recorded and insist this is the main issue AT&T should address. Finally, recorded shows are only available for download over a Wi-Fi network. Just like FaceTime, iPhone 4 users cannot use what would be a popular app because it is tethered to Wi-Fi. The bandwidth requirements are understandable but are they enough to keep the ratings low?
The AT&T U-verse mobile app seems to be a good, but not great, mobile application. The app does what is expected of it but does not deliver exactly what people are looking for. It is useful for managing your home DVR from the iPhone. However, if someone is looking to watch live streaming television or the shows they have recorded this is not the app to do it. Perhaps some of the army of iPhone 4 testers are fine tuning a full featured app right now?

Bowman Iphone Game: Killing Your Opponent One Arrow At A Time Read more: http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Bowman-Iphone-Game--Killing-Your-Opponent-One-Arrow-At-A-Time/582166#ixzz1ediioHgU Under Creative Commons License: Attribution No Derivatives

If youre looking for a simple, fun and addictive addition to your collection of iphone games, Bowman is a surefire way to keep you entertained. The premise of the Bowman iPhone game is simple youre an archer competing with another archer either human or AI and you have to shoot the other person before he or she kills you first. 

Bowman is a classic game, but its iPhone/iPod touch version has updated graphics and come with three different modes: single player, multiplayer and bird hunt. For single and multi-player, your archer is placed on different spots each game, so you have to figure out the perfect angles for your arrows. To shoot the arrows, you need to use your finger to pull back on the string, move it up or down to set the angle and power. Release your finger to let go of the bow, which will then fly through the sky and hit or miss your opponent. Whether you hit or miss, your opponent goes next and tries to shoot your man. Once enough arrows have hit your opponent, you win the game

The game sounds simple, but Bowman is actually a game of who can judge the angle and strength of the shot more accurately. A head shot inflicts the most damage, while landing an arrow down your opponents chest takes second place. Arrows that land everywhere else on your opponents body would inflict less damage. You and your opponent also have the option to set critical strikes and the number of arrows it takes for the game to end, or an archer to be killed.

The great thing about the Bowman iPhone game is you can play against the computer or against a friend. If none of your friends are on the mood to kill each other, you can invite them to a friendly bird shooting game. With the bird hunting mode, you are given three minutes to shoot as many birds as you can. Once youre done, your opponent tries to beat the number of birds youve killed. The person who shot more birds wins.

The graphics of the Bowman iPhone game is cartoony, but remains appealing. Once an archer or bird is hit, cartoony blood nothing too graphic spurts on the ground and the arrow sticks through the target. 

For now, the iPhone Bowman can be downloaded at only 99, but once the updated version of the game is launched, the price will increase to $1.99. The updated Bowman will include distance changes, wind and wall, varying bird speeds, limited power, health bar, limited arrows and a global scoring system, among others. Everyone who downloads Bowman at 99 gets a free update, so if you havent played this game before, its time to get hooked and kill your opponent one bow at a time.

Top Free iPhone Games


The Apple iPhone was a revolutionary device when it was released in June of 2007, and it is still arguably the best phone on the market today. One aspect of the iPhone which is surprising to many people is the robustness of its portable gaming capabilities. With its full multi-touch display, its "accelerometer" which can detect which way the device is being held and moved, and 3D graphics, the iPhone has proven itself to be a major competitor to both Sony and Nintendo in the portable gaming market.
There are tens of thousands of free games in Apple's App Store, but most of them are either really bad, or they are merely "demo" games of a higher priced paid version. However, there are definitely some real gems if you are willing to mine for them. Here are some of the top free iPhone games to help get you started.
1. Tap Tap Revenge II
If you've ever watched someone play Guitar Hero, then you know the basic concept of this game. Instead of a guitar, you "tap" on the screen to the beat of your favorite music. You can rack up a high score by tapping many notes in a row without missing any.
2. Sol Free Solitaire
This is a simple solitaire game like you might find on your Windows PC. Actually, there are many solitaire games like this one on the iPhone, but Sol Free Solitaire stands head and shoulders above the rest. The graphics are clear and crisp, and the cards are extremely responsive to the touch of your finger as you drag them from pile to pile.
3. Real Racing GTi
Real Racing GTi is a full-fledged arcade racing game which several years ago could only be found in a mall arcade or on a home console. The graphics are top-notch and realistic, and the smooth controls lets you feel like you are really in a race car. There are three game modes: quick race, time trial, and cup championship. This is undoubtedly the best arcade racer on the iPhone.
4. Chess with Friends / Words with Friends
These are two games from a company called NewToy. What makes these games unique is that they can be played over any length of time. Chess with Friends is (obviously) a chess game, and Words with Friends is a variant of Scrabble. After you make your move, you can turn the game off and go about your daily business. When your friend has made their move - hours or days later - you can open the game and make your next move. Simple gameplay, elegant graphics, and their inherent social nature have made these games extremely popular.
5. TapDefense
This is a popular game in the "tower defense" game genre. Tower defense games have become popular as simple online games. A swarm of enemies come out of an entrance and head in a line toward an exit which you must defend by constructing a series of towers to defend the exit. Although there are a multitude of games like this in the App Store, TapDefense is unique because it is not only top-notch, but also free.
6. iBowl
This is another social game. If you've ever played bowling on the Nintendo Wii with your friends, then you might be able to imagine what this game is all about. You throw your bowling ball by literally swinging your arm, and the iPhone tracks your arm's movement. Your friend across town (or across the world) can watch your ball roll down the lane, and then they can take their turn. It's a fun and competitive game for people who like to play games without pushing a lot of buttons.
