Gumtree is an extremely popular website in which you are able list and sell anything you like for free. This website has been used by millions of people for the past few years and now finally, there has been an app released for the iPod Touch and iPhone devices. The Gumtree app brings all of the wonderful things about the Gumtree website to the Apple iPod Touch and iPhone and it is designed extremely well. The iPhone and iPod Touch interface actually allows extra features to be added to the app too including the ability to view ads in your location.
The great thing about this app is that it works exactly the same as the actual Gumtree website and features the same colour scheme and branding. The interface is extremely easy to use and you will know what to do as soon as you get the app. Using the location services on the iPhone, you are actually able to view ads nearby without having to type in your location. This is a great extra feature of a mobile device but sadly, this will not always work on the iPod Touch.
You can also contact sellers from within the Gumtree iPod Touch app and even access your account so you can track ads on your favourites list and much more. The app really is a great example of an iPod Touch app and will be great for Gumtree as well as their users.
You can download the Gumtree iPod Touch app here from iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/gumtree/id487946174?mt=8

Snake is a game that is certainly not new to the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch devices and it has actually been around since the very first Nokia phones many years ago. Snake was always a popular game and it is a game that is loved by millions of people all around the world. Now, Snake has made its way to the iPhone and iPod Touch in the form of a free iPod Touch game and it is just like it always was on the devices that w used to have.
Snake is currently one of the top rated games in the app store and it is easy to see why. There has been absolutely no extra effort taken to make the graphics of the game any better than the original on the iPod Touch but this is a good thing as it means that it is the exact game that everyone knows and loves all around the world. The game is even controlled using the buttons that we used to control the game with but the only difference is that these buttons are on the touch screen interface of the iPod Touch.
The game is a lot of fun to play despite it having a lot less fancy graphics than most of the other iPod touch apps out there; however, this is what makes the game unique. Snake is a must have iPod Touch app for anyone that remembers the game on the old phones out there.
You can download the game from the iTunes app store here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/snake/id468638551?mt=8

Facebook Messenger is an application that is available for the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad devices and it is one of the best ways to communicate with your friends on Facebook. The idea behind that app is that it will allow you to stay connected with your Facebook friends at all time without actually having the app open. The app will run in the background and will send push notifications whenever someone talks to you on the Facebook Chat system.
The Facebook Messenger app is a really simple app that when launched, will present you with all of the recent conversations that you have had on the Facebook Chat system. You can use the app just like you would use the Facebook Chat system on Facebook and use it to talk to your friends on the Facebook instant messenger. There are a lot of great features of the app however such as the fact that you are able to attach your location when you chat with people and also add photos to messages that you send. It is also possible to chat with group of people on the app by making a group conversation.
There is a lot of control over the alerts that you will receive in the Faceboook Messenger app and you can also customise what information is shared when you are chatting with certain people. Overall, this is one of the best apps to stay in contact with your Facebook friends at all time and a must-have for any Facebook addict.
You can download the app from iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/facebook-messenger/id454638411?mt=8
