Operation Girl -01- App for iPhone
Turn your iPhone into a robot girl. She will update you on your phone's specs and power usage as well as play music for you and tell you the time. Now if only she could make me a nice cuppa tea...The screen to the right is what appears upon starting up the application. It is essentially the load screen. When the application is loaded it starts the program on it's own. There is no start or stop functionality.
Let's start with the artwork... It's clean but very ... low grade, to me. Not really what I would consider a high quality drawing. Especially the hair. It looks like something drawn by a very young person. Perhaps one that is just starting out. not that this isn't fine. We all must start somewhere, right? But for an application I have a certain level of expectations, as far as visual quality goes. It's a free application, but I still feel they could have done a bit better on the girl's drawing. After all, it's the only real visual in the app...
Now on to the functions of the application...
Please note the character's eyes. The left eye will show you the time. It is in standard military time. The right eye is the currently selected function. in the case of the image to the left, that function is music player mode. Clicking the eye will start the music player. A circle will appear over her image with the music buttons. The buttons are back track, forward track, play and song select (At the top).Every time you hear her make her machine sound, and blink, the currently selected function on her eye will change. It cycles through. Don't worry, she'll still play your music, even when she's in another mode.
The music is whatever happens to be on your device. She can not stream music via another application.
There is also a "Map" mode, which will use your phone's GPS to locate you on the map. it does not give directions or have a search function. It simply shows you, and the area around you. You can use the swipe and pinch functions to zoom out and move the map position about.She also has a camera function. Clicking this will bring up your phone's camera.
Lastly, there is a clock function... Which seems silly since the other eye displays the time... Clicking it will bring up what you see to the right. An hour, minute and second hand that will move accordingly. it also displays the date and time at the bottom.
The bottom left of the screen displays the battery life of your phone, what you've opened recently, within the app The application information and the time and date. So... nothing that your phone doesn't normally do for you at the top of the screen, aside from the app information.
You can zoom in or out by swiping top to bottom, or bottom to top. You can also cycle through her modes by swiping across the screen.Lastly, there are options available by clicking the gear button in the upper left corner of the application. Thank goodness for this option... Because within here you can turn off that ruddy machine sound affect that goes off once every 10 seconds. Otherwise it just tells you how long the application has been active and the website for the app creator.
I really found this to be a pointless application. The sound was so irritating, though fortunately the option to turn it off exists. The art left much to be desired. Not very bad, but not great. The app didn't do anything I couldn't do without the application. The map function seemed pointless, as did the clock function. I just don't really see any reason to download this application. I'm really trying to think of one, but I don't have anything, sorry. This is really a pointless application. I would prefer the app creator thing of functions for the application that could be more innovative. Have the app track all the diagnostics for the hone. not just battery live. Have it track how much space is left on the device, the temperature of the device, something... And a feature that allowed the robot girl to speak would make this much better. Even if it's just a few simple phrases, depending on the function. For example, she could speak the time when you click the clock function. I think they had an interesting idea when they made this application. They just didn't bring out the idea's full potential. It's too basic and boring. Until they do something to spice it up, this is getting a low rating from me.
