iPhone Helps With Fear of Flying

Jeanne Dupuis — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:31:42 +0000

A lot of people miss out on traveling since they suffer from a fear of flying but a new iPhone application might be able to help them calm their nerves and get on a plane. I honestly never thought of a phone being used for something like this but I think it’s a great idea.

Virgin Atlantic Airways has launched an app for its Flying Without Fear course proving yet again that Virgin Atlantic president, Richard Branson, is on a mission to accomplish just about everything he possibly can in life.

“Our first iPhone app will bring the benefits of our successful Flying Without Fear course to millions of people around the world who are now using mobile technology to make their lives better,” Branson said. “The app will put many travelers at ease and enable them to prepare for their first Virgin Atlantic flight.”

The app features an introduction by Branson and then offers a number of resources to users including relaxation exercises and an in-flight explanation of a flight. I’d love to see what this looks like even though I’m not really afraid of flying.

The Flying Without Fear course boasts a 98 percent success rate which is pretty flipping impressive. The app was developed in collaboration with Mental Workout, “a company developing software to help people resolve issues and increase mental performance.”

Would you consider using this program and an iPhone application to get over your fear of flying?

FML: In All its App Store Glory

You may not have noticed, but searching for F My Life or “FML” on the iTunes App Store yields more than one — heck, more than three results.

All are free, but each app provides varied ways of viewing everyone’s favorite “F” website (and some provide variations of advertising models too) but really my favorite among the bunch is the one by “kreactive technologies” due to the way it allows your to customize your FML searches by top categories or by timeline.

Click the City for iPhone retails for $3.99

Jayvee Fernandez — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:33:00 +0000

if you’re from the Philippines, you should be familiar with Click the City: a one stop shop for movie schedules, restaurant reviews and shopping guides.. Well, if you got yourself an iPhone or iPod touch, they’re there as well.

The app makes its debut at USD$3.99, which IMHO is steep for something you can access on the Internet for free. Here’s to hoping that they do something about the price. Maybe this has something to do with the location-based-services of the iPhone. We’ll see.

Hallows’ Eve Halloween iPhone Application

Jayvee Fernandez — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 07:14:07 +0000

Happy Halloween! Here’s a nifty little application for the iPhone that pans the screen across a graveyard with matching ambient horror effects (thunder + screams!), and if you tap it, you’ll see blood spattered from shotgun fire. You can trace the blood across the screen too!

Check it out at the App Store (Warning: Launches iTunes).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
