As the iPhone and iTouch become more popular among students, The JagWire reviews some different applications.

Talking Tom:

Sure your cat can play with a ball of yarn, but Tom the cat can talk to you. Impressive, eh? Talking Tom repeats whatever you say, making you laugh as you go. Interesting and entertaining, Talking Tom can keep anyone occupied. Just talk, watch, and be entertained. But when he gets annoying, feel free to tap him a couple times and knock him out. Don’t worry, we won’t call PETA on you.

Fake-A-Call:

Ever wanted to escape an awkward encounter with a stranger or friend? What about that ex-girlfriend of yours? Now you can fake a call and get out of any situation. One press of a button and your phone begins to ring, appearing to look like you are receiving a real phone call, creating the perfect diversion. If uncomfortable situations occur frequently for you, this app is useful to have on hand for any close encounter.

Feedback:

You know the loud annoying sound you hear when something electronic gets too close to the speakers? You’ll hear it over and over with this app. If your hand gets too close to your iPhone it triggers that loud screech. This app is not only annoying, it’s painful to hear – all together not worth it.

Massager:

This inventive app actually gives you a massage- just apply pressure. This app is creative and relaxing all in one. It’s nothing quite like anything a spa may have to offer but by continuously using the vibrate of your iPhone, this app serves as a decent alternative. If you suffer from a stressed life this one’s for you.

Tap Tap Revenge:

Are you a fan of Guitar Hero? Or maybe Rockband? This app creates the love of these two games at the touch of your finger. With a tap of the screen, keep up with the music and play the night away. Addicting and affordable, this game is perfect for any car ride (except when driving, obviously) to ease a boring situation.

iFitness:

Need to work out? This revolutionary app creates the perfect fitness plan for you. With a wide selection of exercises, it’ll be hard for working out to ever get old. This app is fantastic for anyone wanting to get physical but just didn’t know how. One click, a little motivation and you’re on your way to your dream bod.

Dictionary.com:

Has a homework assignment ever introduced you to a word that you didn’t know? This marvelous app lets you look it up with a quick swipe of your finger. It’s easy as pie to use and well worth the price of free. This app is good for school or whenever you want to widen your vocabulary horizons.

Catpaint:

Do you have an infatuation with cats? This app can satisfy your kitty-cravings. Cleverly place cats in any pictures to produce humorous (and awkward) adorableness. After being tweeted about by Taylor Swift, this strange app became widely popular in the cat-loving community. Odd, yet entertaining, this app is only worth the dollar if you’re a true cat lover.
