Fresh iPhone Apps for July 11

We know, we know – it’s Monday, and the weekend went way too fast. Don’t tell your boss, but if you download today’s leading Fresh iPhone App, The CW Full Episodes, you can actually watch TV on your iPhone at your desk. We’ve also got Summify to help you save some time – it streamlines your content streams from Google Reader, Twitter and Facebook and summarizes the most relevant articles and info from them. Over in the games department, you can ravage some cities as a cartoon fire-breathing monster in Burn The City, or challenge your brain to a Lights Out! style puzzler with Flip Them All.

The CW Full Episodes (iPhone, iPad) Free

Much like Crackle and HBO Go before it, The CW Full Episodes brings complete TV episodes to iOS devices. The episodes from the network available through the app are the same ones that can be watched for free on The CW’s website, and they stream for free to your device using a Wi-Fi or 3G Internet connection.

I’m not much one for CW shows on the whole, but The CW Full Episodes includes the latest episodes of Supernatural, and for that, it’s already worth downloading. It also packs clips, behind-the-scenes interviews, photos and a show schedule so you can catch CW shows on TV when they’re aired.

Summify (iPhone, iPad) Free

Summify is designed to pour through all the articles and information streaming to you from all the different sources in your technology laden life – sources like Google Reader, news websites, Facebook and Twitter, to name a few. The app does the busy job of reading and determining what’s worth your time and what isn’t by filtering those streams against what’s popular and what’s most relevant to you, and presents it in a simplified, easy-to-skim package so you can pick out articles you want to read from the overall noise.

You get periodic updates from Summify as it looks for relevant articles for you, and content can be read right through the app when it comes from RSS sources like Google Reader. You can also check through Summify summary even when you’re not connected to the Internet, and you can share interesting content with friends through social networking and email when you are.

Burn The City (iPhone, iPad)

Angry Birds and games like it are fun because of the physics involved – with Angry Birds’ sling shot, you set the angle and the power behind the bird being flung, and then you watch as that bird wreaks havoc on structures located somewhere else on the screen. But while Angry Birds might be at the top of the App Store, there’s one thing it doesn’t have: a dinosaur setting cities on fire.

Enter Burn the City, which is a lot like other physics puzzlers in the same genre and feels highly influenced by Angry Birds and its kin. But it has a great look and style because instead of squashing pigs with birds, you’re using a Godzilla-like cartoon dinosaur to destroy cities by setting them aflame. In each puzzle, your goal is to take to take out the city as quickly and efficiently as possible, using your monster’s fireball breath. Nuclear reactor, collapsing buildings and other additives mix up the formula and challenge players to find the best way to rack up a high score.

Flip Them All (iPhone, iPad) Free (with in-app purchase of $0.99)

Based on the old puzzle game Lights Out!, Flip Them All is a deceptively challenging puzzler that’s all about tapping tiles on a grid to change their colors. In each puzzle, you have nine squares that are blue, with various symbols on them. The symbols refer to how the tiles affect one another – tap one with a horizontal diamond, for example, and that tile will turn orange, but so will the tiles to the left and right of it. The goal is to turn all the tiles orange as quickly as possible.

Flip Them All comes with a contingent of free levels to get you used to playing it, but the full game and its more than 150 levels will run you $0.99. That’s not a bad price, though, and the game features leaderboards from OpenFeint and Game Center, as well as achievements.

Fresh iPhone Apps for June 21: P5P – Generative Sketches, MosaicArtist, Hard Lines, TITUS

Tap into your creativity with today’s Fresh iPhone Apps, starting with P5P – Generative Sketches, an app that combines math and lines to create interesting drawings, and MosaicArtist, which breaks up your photos into tiled mosaics. We’re also bringing you a few new games to try out: Hard Lines, a modern take on Snake with multiple game modes; and TITUS, a compilation of five mini-games centered on a story of political conquest.

P5P – Generative Sketches (iPhone, iPad) $1.99

P5P creates “generative sketches” by basically performing math equations and graphic the results on your iPhone’s screen. The app works by allowing you to set parameters, choosing what kind of sketch to create, how many lines, and a host of other numbers. With the information on-hand, P5P creates a drawing in real-time.
You can also interact with the sketches by touching the screen and moving your iOS device, which alters and affects the way the sketches are generated. When you’re done, you can save your generated drawings, print them, and even share them online.

MosaicArtist (iPhone, iPad) $0.99

Much like P5P, MosaicArtist is an app that uses math to create interesting visuals. Adding a photo to the app allows you to alter it by giving it a mosaic, or tiled look, by adjusting several parameters within the app. MosaicArtist does all the math for you, altering your image and reworking the entire thing to appear as if it is made out of tiles.
There’s not much more to MosaicArtist beyond that. The app creates vector images when it alters your photos. Once you’re done, they can be quickly and easily saved to your camera roll and downloaded to your computer or shared by email.

Hard Lines (iPhone, iPad) $0.99

You’ve probably seen Snake in action before: it’s a game in which you control a growing snake that moves around a grid. In the original game, the goal is merely to grow your snake as much as possible without it running into a wall or itself; in Hard Lines, however, things are a bit more competitive. Hard Lines includes six different game modes, including a survival mode in which you’ll battle other snakes for as long as you can stay alive, and modes in which you’ll attempt to get the highest score possible in a short amount of time.
Your snake is controlled by swiping touch controls throughout all six game modes in Hard Lines. The game packs OpenFeint leaderboards so you can track your high scores against other players, along with achievements to give players a reason to keep hammering away for more points.

TITUS (iPhone, iPad) $1.99

You’re Titus, a local man charged with deposing the corrupt mime Desmond from his seat of mayor of their town. But Titus can’t just jump from agoraphobic clockmaker to mayor of his town – he needs to climb the political ladder, and that means winning a lot of elections. To do that, Titus needs to play a little dirty, by spreading rumors, finding lobbyists, raising money and buying positive press.
It sounds boring, but TITUS skips over the actual politicking by filling the intervening moments with lots of arcade-style mini-games. For example, spreading leaflets into constituents’ mailboxes is done by playing a Doodle Jump-like game in which the Titus bounces from one mailbox to the other, trying not to fall down the screen. The game mixes strategy, an interesting art style, and diverting mini-games to keep the whole process interesting.
