Appy Days

So its presently raining here in Brisbane on a Thursday morning. Flark it. We're not saying anything yet about fields. But maybe as preparation let's get out our i-Devices and check out a couple of Ultimate related apps.

WFDF Rules - well, this should be on everyone's i-thingee. It's free. The rules of the game, cleanly presented, easily searchable.

Stick Ultimate - T-Ross pointed this one out to us a while back and we put down our $1.19 to see what it was about. Frankly, its a bit disappointing. I think the game (two offensive stick figure players verses a defender) would be tolerable if it happened at any sort of speed and the disc did anything other than go at a straight interceptible line. We applaud the programmer for having a go and getting something out there, but we can't recommend it.

Championship Ultimate - Well, we just gave them our $6. It looks fancier than Stick Ultimate, but also very parochially North American. We'll let you know if its any good.

Flingy - not a flying disc game alas, but included here because the programmer is Griffith Ultimate's own Dustin, and he could use the money (let us know if there's other Aussie Ultimaters looking to make a buck through App design). A fun little time-waster. JdR's top score is in the 13,000s.

When are you doing a post on Android Ultimate Apps? The only one I stumbled across was UPA rules.

This is why I shouldn't get an iPhone, it's not trendy enough anymore ;) It appears the nerds are taking back power goo google.
