Finger Olympic 100M Training

February 13th, 2009 posted by iPodFirst

The Summer Olympics be long gone, but the craze about them still lingers in the air. The proof of that is a series of games to be released by Pro Mobile Co LTD, which will be modelled around the many different sports in the Olympics. The first of these games is Finger Olympic 100M, which replicates the 100M dash in track and field. The free version of this App, is the Finger Olympic 100M training.

The game is based around you training for the actual event itself, and therefore there are no competitors against you. The only way you can really compete is against time itself, if that’s any consolation. Upon opening the game, the App tells you get “on your mark”. That means you have to put both fingers down on the iPhone or iPod Touch. We highly recommend you put your device on a table or other steady device. After the device tells you to go, you just run your fingers (move them up and down) over and over until you reach the finish line. After that, it tells you the amount of time it took you to run the distance, and it automatically enters it into something called MyRecords. This is a personal database of your best times and when you acheived them.

The idea behind this App has a lot of potential, as we can just imagine a whole suite of Olympic games. The fact that the developer does not do the idea justice is what is going to keep this App from success. We would have appreciated more content on the free version, and a highscore table, because the current free version seems very empty. Taking that into consideration, we award this App a unflattering 2 out of 5 stars.
