This app is available at the app store for only $4.99. I would gladly pay 8.99 for this app.
Anyone who has ever played golf as a video game can skip over the tutorials and go straight to tournament play. Let’s Golf is a well put together app that will entertain any golf enthusiast. The game play is on par with any xbox or playstation version of golf. The graphics are interesting and well made. There are only a couple of minor suggested improvements, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Grab a club, take a swing, and pray for a birdie! It’s time to become a big hitter and start playing Let’s Golf! Play the first iPhone/iPod touch family golf game and discover a fun filled experience accessible to anyone. Choose from among the 4 customizable characters and play on 4 locations created in full 3D (Fiji Beach, the American Mountains, the English Countryside, and Scottish Lochs). Enjoy the Local Wi-Fi and Online Multiplayer modes with your friends or anybody in the world. Golf games have never been so accessible and fun!
63 holes in 4 distinct locations remodelled in 3D: Fiji Beach, the American Mountains, the English Countryside, and Scottish Lochs.
4 cool and animated characters customizable with your own style. Each player has unique strengths and weaknesses.
Show your friends who the best player is through Local Wi-Fi and Online Multiplayer modes.
Controls adaptable to anyone: Advanced mode plays like a sports simulation game and you can even add spin to the ball. Casual mode for easy fun and fewer bogies (but no, it won’t let you cheat).
Let’s Golf features touchscreen control, and while the standard left / right shot adjustments are present for lining up a swing, the game also allows the player to see a movable target grid down-course that represents an estimated touch down location. Carrying out a swing involves a three-tap drill that finally gets it right. Once the ball is in the air the player can swipe an onscreen control to give the ball some English. A very nice ball tracking / follow animation gives a satisfying sense of driving the ball down the course.

Just a quick note about the best surprise in the game. The multiplayer options are awesome. There is an option for Hot Seat or Wireless Multiplay. That means you can either share the iPhone back and forth between two people, or if you and a friend are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can play each other. I thought that was AWESOME!
Pocket Money is the “layman’s” accounting program. Catamount did an wonderful job at by designing an accounting software that is powerful enough to track your daily small business or personal cash-flow, yet, it is very easy to understand and user friendly. For a $4.99 value, you get a lot! Compared to the price of an accounting software for your personal computer, Pocket Money is a steal.

We put the latest version of Pocket Money in the hands of one of our people that isn’t too bright. don’t feel bad, he isn’t going to read this. We had him create accounts, put in current balances, and enter some transactions. As you can see above, he isn’t too wealthy at the moment. The good news is: It was easy to use, and now he knows where his finances really are!
Pocket Money is powerful for the platform you are using it on, and it is very easy to understand without being an accountant. The catch, though, is that if you are an accountant, and you are used to a different platform you may not love it. Pocket Money doesn’t allow for accrual based accounting (cash only). Also the export/email features are limited. In the future, it is our hope that Catamount improves the export/email features. Keeping that in perspective, this is a huge value for only $4.99.
