- We talk shop. (sorry, Katie’s on her Honeymoon so this is Henry giving you the briefest possible show notes).
- Scott talks about the Disney.com official app. Seems dope. Then Scott talks about the official Disney Digicomics app. Both are for iPhone. Henry notes a few official Disney apps for the BlackBerry.
- Jeff’s up next: music apps. He has five: Live 365 official app (iPhone — no background ability yet!). FStream (iPhone — allows multiple audio stream types — but has an issue with Live365 streams). Wunderradio — expensively on iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry, but good! 4th: HiDef Radio (iPhone, Droid) — Jeff rates it a B! And lastly, ooTunes — highly rated amonst Team Betamouse — and with a very responsive developer. You can also stream your music library from your Mac/PC to your phone!
- Next, Katie goes nuts on photo editing / capturing apps. First two apps: Pano vs. AutoStitch — listen to the ep to find out which is better. Next up: Hipstamatic — Katie’s a big fan, uses it a ton (including from her Disneyland honeymoon!). Diptic is a cool, artsy app — but not great for in the parks. ColorSplash is great for the partner’s statue. CameraBag is another she enjoys. For Android: try PhotoShop, PicSay FX Camera, and Vignette.
- Nate is next with gaming apps for the iPhone. First up, the great Greg Maletic’s Wishing Stars for Disneyland — we’re all big fans of Greg! Nate’s excited to use it in the parks. Next up are two apps from Disney: Disney Fairies Fly (a side-scroller) and an Alice in Wonderland (which Nate isn’t a big fan of). Lastly, the Phineas and Ferb app.
- Henry does wait times. First up, shamelessly, Disney World Lines — Henry obviously think this is the first one you should check out. Next, Disney World Wait Times and the Undercover Tourist wait times app, also for Disney World. For Disneyland, including Disneyland Wait Times and MouseWait, both of which are good options. He also touches on Disney’s Mobile Magic, which is available for Verizon’s BREW phones.
Wheh! That’s it! What are your favorite Disney Apps?
Great show guys. Keep up the good work. I have not finished the show yet, I have gotten through Katie’s.
I wanted to add that there is a Mouseworldradio app that is free and streams MouseWorld#1 feed. It is awesome.
The other is the LEGO app. My kids love it. It can convert any picture to look like it was made with Legos. The more you tap the picture, the more it changes and makes cool sounds. Enjoy.
Awesome, thanks William!
Yah, the MouseWorldRadio app is a good one, I’ve had it on my iPod touch for a while (and now my iPad as well). Nice and simple, just a single button to start/stop playback (and free too). It’s an older app, so I’m sure it’s not ios4-savvy.
On the game front, I have Fairies Lite for DD7 and DD5, but they don’t play it that much, at least not enough for me to consider buying it. But another Disney app they play more is Disney Cards. It’s pretty neat playing Hearts, Go Fish, Crazy 8s, and others, sitting across the table from Minnie or Donald.
Love the show, just started listening and I’m catching up.
Just found the new Subsonic Radio app in the iTunes Store. It links to their site and is pretty darn sweet! Several different streams to pick from.
Jeff review of the music apps made my week! I have had so many problems with this exact thing (fstream etc.) and people thought I was crazy! I am excited to try the ootunes. Thank youX100!!!
On apps, I was wondering, since Katie uses photo apps on her iPhone (Future Box!!!), if she has tried the Toon Camera app.
I was thinking about scoping it out, but haven’t downloaded it yet!
