I love the fact that good apps are now being regularly updated so that they become even better apps. Case in point- Now Playing (aka Box Office).

The new update makes a couple of meaningful tweaks that make an incredibly useful app even better.

First, they have improved communication between the iPhone and the Now Playing server so that it works faster and better for everyone but especially for iPhones using an Edge connection.(Translation- it’s faster.)

Second, they added the ability to email listings to yourself and others. A small addition but a nice convenience.

Third, they added the ability to set specific theaters as "Favorites" so that regardless of your location you’ll know what is playing at your favorite theater even faster.

Finally, they made two other little tweaks by putting the theater after the movie title instead of before it and the added the option to turn off review scores altogether. (I love this last one since they were SO distracting on such a small screen.)

There you have it- It isn’t a major overhaul but these little incremental improvements really begin to add up.

I was reading through the forums trying to get a feel for what people were looking for in an app for their iPhone. 

jpvann was commenting on Evernote and what a great app it would be when Apple finally allows local data storage. My bet is that Apple will never allow this to happen.

I think Steve Jobs vision of the iPhone was more of a terminal to the internet than a self sufficient computer in your hand.

Last week we gave you a quick preview of The Tag Show from Dove Valley Apps.

The Tag Show lets you create and view slide shows created from public image feeds.

With The Tag Show you can plug in a term, topic or subject and it randomly pulls images tagged with that word or words.

You can listen to music while watching the slideshow, save the images, email a link to those images and send the images to iToony and Twinkle.

Dove Valley Apps has big plans to add more feeds and functions in the months to come.

Best of all, The Tag Show is free.

I’ve been using it for the last week and find it to be a whole lot of fun.
