Free: Twit and Run - Basic Twitter iPhone app

Twit and Run seems to be the most basic Twitter app for the iPhone. It only gives an input screen to send out your message (normal, reply, direct). There’s no access to your timeline or friend lists or anything like that.

When thinking of how many other iPhone apps for Twitter are available, the only reason I can find for using this app is for extremely special cases when you are over a very weak or expensive connection.

Anyways, Twit and Run is now available for free (original price: $.99).

Yummy: Delicious iPhone App Special Offer

I just found out about this special offer for the Yummy Delicious iPhone app which is celebrating 1 year from its initial launch and is now available for €.79/$.99 (normal price: €1.59/$1.99).

By looking at Yummy’s description page, it looks like it is offering almost all the features that are needed to interact with your Delicious account.

• add/edit/delete bookmarks
• special Safari bookmarklet (that is integrated with Yummy)
• tag suggestions
• search
• automatic and manual sync

I haven’t really played with Yummy yet, so I am not sure how it compares with the other apps in this category. At first glance I got the feeling that Yummy might be missing the functions to manage tags (delete, bundle, etc.), but I’d say that tag management is not something that you do on a daily basis.

So, if you needed this sort of app for satisfying your iPhone geeky needs, you can go and get it now (n.b. I don’t have any information about how long the promotion will be available). You can come back later to check my final review of the Delicious iPhone apps.

If you are the developer of one of the Delicious iPhone apps and you want to give me a better chance to try your application please drop me a code at iphoneapps [at] mypopescu.com.

PDF Good Reader iPhone App on Sale

I just found out that Good Reader, one of the two iPhone apps that won the PDF iPhone apps for geeks category, is having a summer limited promotion and is now available in the AppStore for only €.99.

While I payed €3.99 for Good Reader and I can tell you that I don’t regret it a bit, I’d be happy to know that you’ve benefitted of this promotion and got a great iPhone app for pennies.

iPhone WriteRoom Free: Hurry up to the AppStore

The iPhone note taking apps is probably one of the most reviewed categories. While preparing to contribute my share to these reviews, I have discovered that WriteRoom.iPhone is free for this weekend. So hurry up and hit the AppStore!

According to Jesse (the developer of the app), the reason for this offer is

I wanted to test my sync server with a higher load. So that was one reason behind this weekends free giveaway. Sync requests have definitally gone up today!

Just to wet your taste, I can tell you this: WriteRoom.iPhone comes pretty close to the top in my review. But you’ll have to wait a couple more days to read the complete review (it will be much different from what you can find out there ;-)). Meanwhile, enjoy the free WriteRoom.iPhone app. And if you get it thanks to iPhone apps for Geeks series hint, please take a moment and drop me a note!

Update: The app is available this week for €.79 (or $.99). While not free it is still a good price (the initial price was €3.99).
