Wings – Rated Better by AppReview

Wings is a flight simulator without anything else. No cockpit, just a nice 3d environment with accelerometer steering, and there are no objectives. For a relaxing “flight” while listening to music, pick this app.

Voxie – Rated 4 Stars by iPhoneAppReviews.net

I have absolutely no need to record audio on my iPhone, but Voxie kind of makes me wish I did! Seriously, this app is that good – it’s like Bottle Rocket saw a market for voice-recording apps, decided they wanted to be King, and they reached out with two hands and seized the kingship by the nads.

Santa Wings – Rated 4.5 Stars by iPhoneAppReviews.net

Gotta hand it to Bottle Rocket – they know how to build a quality iPhone app. Santa Wings: Rudolph’s Christmas Flight puts you in the driver’s seat of Santa’s sleigh on a midnight joyride through a snowy moonlit mountain range. The 3D rendering of the landscape is great, but it’s the little things that make this a pretty kickass holiday iPhone experience.

Voxie – Rated 8 out of 10 from AppCraver.com

I’ve looked at a number of voice recorder apps, and they’re all similar, which isn’t surprising, given their primary purpose. What’s different about Voxie Pro Recorder & Dictation, Bottle Rocket’s app is that it has all the features of the others rolled into one with I think a few extras mashed in.
