Free Iphone Applications

iShotty

Every once in a while an App will come along that will seem different, and to us critics, seem useless. After seeing the download-o-meter go up, however, we’re always forced to give it a second chance and a second look. One such App is called iShotty. Released by Thirtynine LLC, iShotty is a free App that wants to bring the fun of “cops and robbers” to your iPhone and iPod Touch, and with, also bring back those childhood gun-toting memories.

One thing we must mention is that this App is fairly hard to get a handle on right out of the store. Unless you’ve read the actual description of the App, you’ll definitely have a little bit of trouble figuring out how to get everything to work. Once you have, however, it’s a whole other can of tuna. We would have really appreciated instructions though, because we can’t those lost minutes back. The game replicates the functionality of a gun (similar to the ones you’d pretend your index and thumb were when you were little), only this time it’s more realistic and fun! You can choose from 2 types of rifles, and then 2 types of ammunition. The two types of guns are either a double-barrelled shotgun (“Forest”), or a modern version of a trench-gun (“Urban”), with the two bullet types being either regular ammo, or full metal jacket ammo. Once you’re in the game, all you have to do is pull your device back like you’re charging the rifle, and then swipe across the screen to pull the trigger.

All in all, we found this App to be pretty satisfying, and it was really something we could show off to our friends. We would like the addition of some more rifles, and possibly more gameplay modes in the future. For that, we award this App a very popular 4 out of 5 stars.
