The MLA Recall iPhone app:
The safety of our children comes first, so being able to access the latest news on a certain mla's recall is very important – worrying about their sorry asses comes last. Searching the Internet for the many number of websites designed for offering the latest details on recalls is often a daunting task, which is why the news that there is an iphone app for recall is a welcome addition to any serious recall junkie, with Blackberry version coming soon.
The Recall app draws news from a number of different sources, such as legitimate news sites, forums and message boards... Headlines from each source are displayed in text panels on an uncluttered screen. The size of each panel indicates the story popularity and the background color indicates the freshness, with stories gradually fading as they age. Tapping on a panel brings up an info window with a thumbnail photo and the first few lines of the story. Doubling tapping on the info window loads the story from the original source in the integrated browser.
From within the browser view, stories can be loaded into Safari, emailed, or posted to Facebook.
Thats it. The entire experience is clean, simple, and fast. It's possible to get an immediate, at-a-glance sense of what is news from the clever info-graphic-like interface, and I really enjoy the addition of user-curated news sources such as forums and message boards...
