As for Super Monkey Ball, I was expecting to see lots of positivity for it. Hopefully in time they'll improve.]]>Jul 11th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/
First, it doesn't properly save the Sound FX setting, so even though you turn the FX volume to zero, if you close and come back, it still makes sounds. The funny thing is that when you go to the menu and check it, the volume slider does show as being set to zero, but you have to move it up and back down to turn sounds off.

Second, and this one is really just a quibble, is that when you return to the app after closing it, you have to select the type of game you want before it asks if you want to continue from where you left off, instead of having the ability to jump back in automatically. It's not a big deal.

The UI is perfect, and the graphics are exactly what you would expect.]]>Jul 11th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 12th 2008 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/Jul 11th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/best-of-the-worst-the-app-stores-hits-and-misses/

With PowerPoint however, you can only view presentations, not create them.

I was bored one day and used Word Mobile to type up some ideas I had, so it has its uses.
