I download a lot of iPhone applications, and most lose my interest after a few minutes, some last a little longer, and I use some all of the time.
Considering I only found it Thursday night/Friday morning, Balloons! is on the border between ‘a little longer’ and ‘all of the time’, but I’m pretty sure I’ll go on using it for a long while yet.
Balloons! (or Balloons! Lite if you want to try it for free) lets you write a message (twitter style – 140 characters), take a picture, attach them to a balloon and launch it up into the sky. Other people can then catch your balloon and add their own messages and pictures to it.
With the paid version, you can track your balloons, and see what other people add to them (although currently, you can’t track balloons you add to, although Dave Verwer told me that you will be able to favourite, and therefore track balloons in the next release) and it’s great to see how far your balloons drift!
If you can’t think of anything that warrants its very own balloon, you can always just catch other balloons and add to them.
Currently, the subject of a lot of balloons is…well, balloons, but when more people start using it and the app matures a little, it will be awesome(er).
Current app store price: £1.79 (Free ‘Lite’ version)
