5 Alternatives to Maps App for iOS 6
For the most part, I enjoy the maps upgrade in iOS 6, although I was sad to see the end of Google's tied in search.
Without Google, it has happened to me a couple of times that I searched and drove to a place of business, only to find it is closed.
Here are some alternatives you can use to avoid problems and add more tools to your device's mapping ability.
1. Motion X GPS Drive
Developer: Motion X
99 cents
Long before Apple introduced voice turn-by turn directions, I began using this app. It's just about as functional as a Garmin or similar navigation system. There are lots of search options including Bing, Wikipedia, Facebook, contact list, gas stations, address book and more.
Your 99 cents will get you all the features except for Voice and automatic turn by turn. For a yearly subscription around $10 today, you'll get those too.
Click here to get the app
2. Google Search
Developer: Google, Inc.
Free
I have found that the 'voice' option provides a quick way to get directions, much like Siri. Say "Directions to 123 Apple St." and google will quickly find the directions for you. You will be directed to the Google maps web app.
Of course you can also search for the address for the business by searching by typing or voice and inputting the address into regular iOS maps.
Click here to get the app
3. Where
Developer: Where, Inc.
Free
A simple way to search for places of business. Once you find the place, tap "get directions" and you are given the option to open with iOS maps. Also, there's info about the business such as hours and phone number.
Click here to get the app
4. Bing
Developer: Microsoft Corporation
Free
Similar to the Google Search app, this app will allow you to search for a place of business using voice or typing. There are turn by turn directions presented inside the app.
Click here to get the app
5. Beat the Traffic
Developer: Triangle Software
Free
This app makes it possible to route out alternate paths to your destination. You can choose which major highway you would like to take which is useful for big accidents and other heavy traffic.

Help for broken iPhone/ iPad buttons
If your phone is past its warranty window and you're still waiting for an upgrade, here are some tips. Read on for tips to work around faulty or totally broken buttons.
For broken lock/ power or volume buttons:
Enable Assistive Touch by following these selections...
>Settings
>General
>Accessiblity
>Assistive Touch
>Enable Assistive Touch
You now have a white circle always present on the screen. From there, tap 'device' and find virtual lock screen button and volume buttons.
(You can drag the white circle around on the screen. To turn phone off, hold down virtual lock screen button)
For a broken home button:
Enable Assistive touch by following instructions above. Use the virtual home button and tap twice for app-switching.
If your home button is completely dead you won't want to lock your phone with the lock button.
Plug the phone into a charger in order to get the screen on.
Use one of these free apps to "lock" your screen. These apps were all created to protect photos/ videos, however, you can use them as a lock by setting up the password and starting the app to lock your phone. Keep in mind that you need to disable auto-lock in settings and your battery will be drained faster than if the phone were normally locked.
I would suggest leaving your chosen app on your home screen. It's your preference to put media in them or not.
1) Photo Password Free
Developer: Revolutionary concepts
You can use one of these new, cool picture gesture passwords by drawing a design on a photo of your choice. It's harder for people to guess and the possibilities are endless. Upgrade for 99 cents if you don't want to be bothered with ads.

3) Private Photo Vault
Developer: William Sidell
You can have something very close to the traditional apple lock by using this app. A nice 4 digit pin. Upgrade to pro for $2.99 but the ads aren't all that bothersome in the free version

10 Fun Free Games (No Internet Needed)
Before your next flight or other web-less situation, be sure to stock up on some games to keep you entertained. Here are some of my favorites.
Indiana-Jonesesque adventure guy makes his way through the a maze careful not to let the pack of wild animals behind him catch up. This is a simple game to learn and easy way to pass the time.
Click here to get the app
8. Subway Surf
Developer: Kiloo
Similar to Temple Run in the whole running through an obstacle course thing, but in this game you are a young boy running through a train station, you can also use a skateboard. And the animal behind you is an angry security guard.
Click here to get the app
9. Amateur Surgeon Lite
Developer: [adult swim]
I had to include this game because it is SO entertaining. You are the crazy surgeon operating on very interesting characters. The gameplay is consuming. Warning: you will probably want to get the full version like I did and its worth it!

1. Jelly Car 2
Developer: Disney
Navigate your jelly car through a whimsical papery world. Bright colors and silly animations are amusing. It is pretty funny when your car gets mashed up in a cog-wheel.
2. Mega Jump
Developer: Get Set Games
Easy to learn and easily addicting! Try and reach uncharted heights with your creature, eating coins to stay in the air. You are rewarded for playing in game coins, which can be used to buy extra power-ups. This is a nice feature when many games try to make you pay REAL DOLLARS for game add-ons.
3. Mega Run
Developer: Get Set Games
Although the name sounds similar, this game feels unique from Mega Jump. It reminds me of old-school Mario video games. Your creature runs through a fun world, avoiding obstacles and collecting coins and extras for points.
4. Tap Defense
Developer: TapJoy
A strategic game in a medieval setting. Protect your castle from evil invaders with an artillery of purchasable weapons. It starts out very easy but soon becomes challenging. The more you play, the more riches you will obtain.
5. Traffic Rush
Developer: Donut Games
My sister first introduced this game to me. I quickly became a fan after playing a couple of rounds. It is harder than it seems to direct traffic and prevent accidents from happening between cars, semi-trucks and motorcycles. Give it a try!
6. Flight Control
Developer: Firemint Pty Ltd
Similar concept to Traffic Rush but it is even better for a plane ride. You are the pilot bringing planes to land safely on the runway. Be careful not to let multiple planes collide.
*correction: this game cost 99 cents (so check out #11 for the 10th freebie)

3 Apps for Getting Free Music & Movies (no jailbreaking needed)
Free Music Downloader Pro- $.99
Developer: Apps2Be
(Update 11/16: this app was removed from the store, hopefully it will come back. An alternative app without iPhone library integration option can be found here.)
Download music directly to your iPhone and iPad (without the pretty penny that iTunes will charge for this capability). Now you can satisfy your most random urges for songs to listen to while stuck in traffic, always have the song your bestie requests while pre-partying and snag the latest radio hit before heading home sans computer syncing.
The most awesome feature of this app is integration with your stock music library. There is no need to switch between the Music app and this one in order to hear the songs you already have and those you just downloaded. They can all be found sweetly coexisting in this app under the songs section.
Use the built-in browser to google search on free download sites and bookmark for future use. Other unique and cool features for this app are the options to preview a song before downloading so there are no surprises and listen to it while it is downloading if your patience is as short as mine.
The free version will allow for adequate test driving with a limited number of downloads.
Click here to download the app
Azul Media Player- $1.99
Developer: Gplex
Download videos directly to your iPhone and iPad. Play more types of videos than the native device player allows.
I mostly use this app to download video taped college lectures and play them in double-speed for those professors that forgot their espresso before class or in half-speed for those who mercilessly whip through 5 book chapters in 30 minutes.
Video playback speed options are .5, 1, 1.5 and 2x the normal rate. Use the built-in browser to find a website containing your video or open from email/ text.
Click here to download the app
Skyfire Web Browser- $2.99
Developer: Skyfire Labs, Inc.
Play videos that require flash. This is the best workaround to the no Adobe flash on apple mobile devices that I have come across, though there are limitations.
Use the built-in browser to navigate to the website containing the desired video and wait while the app magically transforms the flash video into something playable on your device.
The downside is that you are not able to rewind or fast forward the video, as it is essentially being streamed to your device, but hey it's better than nothing. This app will only work for websites that have been processed by the Skyfire servers, however this is a decent amount of videos.
