For device only skip to step 12. For Device and computer continue to step 6.

6. On Your Computer Go to http://apptrackr.org/

7. Search For the App You Want

8. Scroll Down and Click a Download Link.

          - This location may vary for some but mine is Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Mobile Apps

10. Double Click the Downloaded File to Add it to Your iTunes Library

If you want to know how to do this without your computer keep reading

iPhone App of the Week: Snapguide

Snapguide - Free 

Snapguide is a free application made by Heavy Bits.  It is a huge database of how to guides made by people just like you and me.  When you open the app you are presented with a couple slides about the app.  The app allows you to sign in with your Facebook or Twitter which is always a nice feature.  The how to guides range from origami to making beeswax and honey lip balm.  You can even create your own guides right one the app!  You guides can be liked or shared through social networks.  You can also be followed, or follow other guide makers.  It has a search feature in order to find exactly what you want.  The amount of guides is not huge but it is growing everyday.  This is a very useful app to learn news things and to teach other people.




iPad App of the Week: Paper By FiftyThree

Paper By FiftyThree - Free

Paper is a drawing application made by a company called FiftyThree.  When you first open the app you get some simple directions on how to use it.  After that you are presented with three books.  One it called Making Paper, the next is called Ideas, and the last is called Sketches.  Ideas and Sketches are empty and are ready for you use.  You have to ability to create new books or erase preexisting books.  When a book is touched it opens to show a very nice presentation.  The first book contains somewhat of a tutorial.  This app flows and feels very nice.  You can use five different brushes to create your drawings or sketches.  Here is the only bad thing about the app, it only comes with one brush.  The other tools for sale for $1.99 each.  The five brushes are called draw, sketch, outline, write, and color.  This is a very nice application that artists will love and for the price of free it wont being burning a hole in your pocket unless you some extra brushes.  Tell us what you think about this app in the comments below and dont forget to follow us!

Spotify - The Best Way to Listen to Free Music!

Do you like listen to music? Do you hate paying $1.29 for each song you buy? Would you rather listen free? If you answered yes, yes, or yes, then Spotify is for you!  Spotify streams music to your computer for absolutely no cost.  It is like combining Pandora with iTunes except it takes away the most annoying features of both.  No more wasting money on songs and you get to pick every song you listen to!  I personally use this everyday.  I just type in a song and seconds later I am listening to it.  Spotify also automatically syncs the music that is already on your computer so it is easily accessed right along with your streaming music.  Here is the catch, an ad is played every one and a while.  Also you are limited to only ten hours of streaming per month after six months of use.  But you are getting FREE music! There is an option to pay $4.99 per month for no ads and unlimited streaming.  Also another option is $9.99 per month for premium use.  This includes mobile use, no ads, unlimited streaming, and offline mode.  Offline mode is one of the coolest features ever.  Spotify allows you to store 3,333 songs on each of your devices.  Then you can listen to them anytime you want with out having internet.  This is perfect for iPods and wifi-only iPads.  So your options are paying $1.29 per song or paying a very lost cost per month for unlimited streaming and great features. I would hope everyone picks the second option.

The Best Undiscovered iOS Games

Here are some of the best undiscovered apps for iPads, iPhones, and iPod.  These are in no order but they are all high quality apps, so don't hesitate to get them!

1. Fingle - 1.99 - Gameoven 

      Fingle is an app that is always good for a laugh.  This game is basically twister for your fingers.  The object of the game is to move yellow and white squares into the correct place and hold them their for a couple seconds.  But the reason that Fingle is so much fun is because it is meant for two players.  Each player uses one hand and places their fingers on the squares with one player on yellow and the other on white.  Then they slide the squares into the dotted area with lifting their fingers.  This game is a perfect ice breaker and will cause many laughs from the start.  Even the name can be the punch line of very funny jokes.  Sadly, this app is only for the iPad because ten fingers would be hard to fit on one iPhone.


Get this app: http://itunes.apple.com/app/fingle/id490109661?ls=1&mt=8




2. Triple Town - Free - Spry Fox




      Triple Town is very addicting strategy game.  Users place items to match grass which make bushes, which match to make trees, which match to make huts, which match to make...  It all sounds very confusing but after playing for a short time it will become second nature.  Points are rewarded for matches being made.  Mansions are worth the most points.  The more points scored then the better the community is and a better name is awarded.  Examples of the names given are an outpost, or a city.  The only problem is that the app only comes with 2000 moves.  Because the game is so addicting those moves will vanish very fast.  Moves slowly regenerate but the catch it that they can only replenish to up to 150.  Impatience may kick in so there is an option to buy more moves or items in the store.  Hurry and get this app to start matching!

Get this app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/triple-town/id490532168?mt=8




3. MotoHeroz - 0.99 - Ubisoft

      MotoHeroz is a very fun racing game.  There are six different vehicles with five different tracks per vehicle.  Racers speed to the finish trying to beat the one star, two star, or three star time.  Upgrades can be bought with money earned in the races.  These upgrades include top speed, acceleration, and item boost.  There is an option to use cash to buy in game money or a coin multiplier.  The controls on this game are very simple but work perfectly.  Items like boosts, jets, and springs, can be collected during races and used to gain an advantage over your opponents.  This is one of the best racing apps on iTunes and is available for iPod, iPhone, and iPad.


4. Fairway Solitaire HD - Free - Big Fish Game, Inc.

      Fairway Solitaire HD is a relaxing, strategic card game. Players are presented with piles of cards and a deck with one card showing at a time. Then users click cards from the piles that are either one less or more then the card from the deck. If that is not possible then a new card is show while the old one is discarded. The level ends when all of the piles are gone or the whole deck of cards is discarded. This is where the golf part comes into play. A score of -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, ect is given after the level ends based on the amount of cards remaining. Golf themed power ups can be used when they uncovered in the deck. It is extremely hard to put this app down after you start playing one level.



5. Clever Clear Click - 0.99 - FORMAT TECH

      Clever Clear Click is a very simple but very fun application.  The whole point of the game is the try to clear all of the dots off the board.  This is done by clicking a space between two of the same colored dots.  Then the dots are removed and a point is rewarded for each dot taken out.  After the time limit is reached the game ends and the score is show.  The concept of this game is not complicated but it can provide hours of fun.  Users will find themselves not able to stop starting new games to attempt to achieve the high score.  So do not wait to buy this app right now because it is load of fun!
