Moe Shake! App for iPhone
     This is another one of those applications that requires you to shake your phone.  Not unlike Angry Boy.  I'm not for shaking an expensive technical device, but let's try to stay neutral for this review.
     Unlike Angry Boy which can be used to make a few small shakes with the same or better  efficiency than large furious shakes, this application actually requires a lot of shaking.  After all, it is called Moe "shake".
     As you can see in the screen to the right, you shake the phone as much as you can.  Make sure you have a very firm grip.  Depending on how many shakes the app counts (Not always the most accurate count), you will receive a different level, which is accompanied by a different image of the character.
     The character will tell you when to start and speak to you when the round is complete.  You can try as often as you like to try and get a better score.  What I would love is for this application to add a "gallery mode".  This would have all of the available images locked until you get a score high enough to unlock it.  Then you could view your winning image whenever you like.
     This could be considered a really good form of exercise.  You have to work really hard to try to get those higher scores.  Try switching arms to work out both sides equally.
     If you are really worried about your phone slipping out of your grip you could hold your phone and slip your hand into a sock or something of the sort.  Then if it does slip out of your grip, it wont go flying across the room.
     I have personally not been able to get all of the scores.  The higher ones are so hard.  I got 'so close' to getting the score for 200.  But my arm was exhausted from all of the shaking.  Below you can see some of the images from the first few shake levels. 

     A fair warning, do not allow young people to download this application.  The app itself does not appear (As far as I've seen) to contain mature content but the ads that show at the bottom are for pornographic material.  Clicking the banner will take them to a browser site with unsavory images.
     I like the idea of an application that's cute as well as useful for exercise.  I am still not pleased with the fact that it involves vigorously shaking your phone.  If you are not worried about damaging your phone through shaking, get this.  it's cute, fun to try to get a higher score and helps work up those arm muscles.
