Downloading YouTube Videos

Looking for a free Apple app to download and convert YouTube videos, I have used Clone2Go. It will produce the files as mp4 which you can import straight into iTunes.

Bad UI vs Good UI design Apple iPhone apps

Simon — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 09:34:05 +0000

When I saw this post on a calendar todo app for the iPhone I just couldn’t believe someone could design this.

This is Pocket Informant 1.21, and it might be a useful app but it has to be the worst designed one I have ever seen. It must of been designed by a windows designer as it just dosen’t fit with the normal clean interface design we expect from iPhone apps. It also obvious that design and UI integration have been the last thing to be considered as their website is also a travesty of design too! http://webis.net

Take a look at the Gas Cubby app below and you can see the difference straight away.

Have a look at a simliar app called Things, you can see the thought that has gone into the design, usability and functionality. http://culturedcode.com/things/iphone/
