Need to do some shopping for the holiday season? Or just want to buy something for yourself? Well the Target app has what you need. The Target app for the iPhone or iPod Touch can search Target.com and stores near you for what you need. This app features many options to find what you may need. Here are some of the features:

  • Browse: Shop by department and category to see what’s available at stores and online.
  • Weekly ad: View the great savings each week at stores in your neighborhood.
  • Registries + Lists: Search for and view Club Wedd and Target Baby registries, and TargetLists. Check off items you’ve purchased and manage your own registries or lists.
  • Find a Store: Use your location or enter your ZIP to find the nearest Target.
  • Set Store: Get results specific to your store.
  • Search: Find items where you shop, including department and aisle locations.
  • Item Details: View images, read guest reviews and check for availavility at nearby Target stores.
  • Find Gifts: Search by gender, age, price, personality or occasion.

Now this app has quite a few people complaining that it crashes a lot, but I have not noticed any app crashes at all during my use of it thus far. So if you are going to download this app please be aware that other users have been experiencing issues with this app.

After searching for a recipe and choosing one that you want, you are shown 3 tabs; Overview, Ingredients, and Method. Overview being a summary of the recipe and nutrition, Ingredients being what you need to make the dish, Method being the preparation instructions to prepare the dish.

At the bottom of the app there is another way to search for recipes. You can search by what ingredients you already have on hand in your kitchen and the app will find something that you can make.

I believe this app is a must have for anyone wanting to eat healthy. This app works really well and is well organized.

The Zipcar app for iPhone and iPod Touch is a very cool app. The Zipcar app allows Zipcar members to find available Zipcars around their current location using the gps feature of the iPhone or iPod Touch. Zipcar features an easy to use interface that makes it very easy to use Zipcar services right from your mobile device.I believe the coolest feature of this app is to honk the horn of the Zipcar and even unlock and lock its doors straight from the mobile device.

Some of the cool features of Zipcar are:

  • Find available Zipcars on a map using your current location, favorite location or any location
  • Reserve a Zipcar any time, 24/7
  • Sort cars by time available, car type and model
  • View upcoming reservations
  • Easily locate your reserved Zipcar by honking its horn
  • Unlock and lock your Zipcar after scanning your Zipcard at the start of each reservation
  • Get directions to your Zipcar
  • Tap to connect Zipcar if help is needed during reservation
  • Extend or cancel reservations on the go
  • Play around with the virtual key fob and make sounds even when you’re not in a reservation

There is also cool stuff to do if you aren’t a Zipcar member. You can view locations of Zipcars in your area, and play with the virtual key fob in the app. Check it out and have fun!

Other reviews:

Some users of this application have posted and said that the app crashes often and loads slow, some other users have posted that the app does not always connect to the car. Many users have had no issues with the app so try it out and let us know your experience.

How about an app that tells you were all the hot spots to hang out are around you. Well that is exactly what Buzzd is. Buzzed allows you to search the area around you or another area and see where people hang, including the phone number and location. If you click on a location you can see what people are saying about it, which are called Buzzes. If you happen to find a great place to hang you can also Buzz it as well.

Price: FREE
