Ask a Girl: The Ultimate Date Guide For iPhone – Plus A Chance To Win A Copy
The sensational team over at collegekidapp.com, now 9magnets, have created another nifty app for the iOS platform. Their latest project, Ask a Girl: The Ultimate Date Guide, is a simple but informative tool about the dos and don’ts of dating.
What is Ask a Girl: The Ultimate Date Guide? That’s what I asked to myself before trying it. It’s really an interesting idea. There is a small group of females which answer dating related questions. While every person is different, at least guys can get an idea of things women like and dislike without the need to get screamed at. Let’s get down to a quick example, shall we?
Question: Do you really ever need to take boys shopping with you? It’s so boring.
Sarah’s Reply: This really depends on the girl. To be honest, I like taking boys with me shopping because I like to know that they like what I’m buying. Girls may seem to be super self centered, but sometimes we care about you too! We want to look cute, but most importantly we want you to think that we are cute. If you don’t ever want to go shopping with us, that’s fine, will be more than happy to bring our friends along instead. However, we really do appreciate your opinion and always love having boy arm candy with us when we go to the mall.
That’s one of the more common answers a guy is curious about, but there are some that are frequent thoughts but likely wouldn’t be the first to end up on a top ten frequently asked dating questions list. One such example is, how do I tell a girl that I hate the music she’s listening to in her car while we’re driving?
The app offers dozens of various questions with the ability to submit your own to possibly be answered, added, and maybe even featured. After launching the app, you’re initially greeted with a featured section of what is considered the four top questions of the day, and then you can sift through the full list of questions. I found it extremely easy to get through the questions if you just want to go down the list. While viewing a question, swipe left or right to move to the previous or next one.
But it’s not all about questions, it’s also preparation. The app includes a basic first-date or pre-date checklist, making it no longer an excuse that you were too busy to remember flowers.
There is a lite version of the app available for free. It still offers a bunch of questions from the standard version but lacks the frequent updates, complete list of questions, the date checklist, and the ability to submit your own question. This is only the beginning, and primarily a test of the ‘waters’, though, the initial reviews seem really positive.
If somehow those of you following the tech world don’t remember the CKA crew, they created the Battery Go! utility app. What’s so special, you ask? It’s a good app but more-so, their ambitions were one of high news focus. Our own Tyler Tschida was one of few to get the initial ‘ground floor‘ scoop on these guys and their big plans one warm summer. Eventually, the app and entire project got so popular, Cameron and team ended up getting some large TV news spots, like this one from Fox Business News.
After graduating, the team has moved on to transform CKA into 9magnets. In what you would guess as a natural transition, their focus is now on helping others bring their great app ideas to the popular iOS platform. That hasn’t stopped them from creating their own apps, obviously.

Campfire developers 37signals acquires Ember, changes its name and makes it free
Campfire, the project collaboration application with real time chat designed for private groups where members can share files, text, code and more (think of it as a more powerful IRC client), can now be found on the App Store as an official application by 37signals due to a takeover of Ember, the third-party application developer of Campfire. Ember, as it was then known, was originally priced at $9.99, but developers 37signals saw an opportunity which allowed them to “work out a deal with Ember and make a few changes to the app” according to the official blog. As of July 26th, the application has rebranded and re-released with a new price tag: rather, no price tag at all. It’s free to download from the iTunes App Store.
Although the application itself is free, a Campfire account is not. The basic package allows up to 12 chatters and 1GB of storage for $12 a month, and for $24 a month you can upgrade that to 25 chatters, 3GB of storage as well as 500 conference call minutes and enhanced security over the Basic package. A free 30-day trial is available on all accounts.
37signals continues to become a prominent player in the business network, having released other popular applications and clients that allow more professional social networking to take place. Basecamp, Highrise and Backpack all have one thing in common: their developer is Campfire creator 37signals. You can download the free Campfire application by clicking the link below, which will redirect you to iTunes.
