4th Of July Apps
At little or no cost, 4th of July apps are widely available to Android and iPhone users and they can help you have fun whether you're just hanging around your back yard, going to the beach, visiting a national park or waiting to set off a huge cache of fireworks. Fireworks are an essential part of any 4th of July celebration and virtual firework apps are a perennial favorite. Live Fireworks app by My Nikkos lets you set off dozens of rockets at once by touching the screen where you want them to explode. They blow up fountain-style in a variety of colors. I Love Fireworks app is a 4th of July party in your pocket with the most realistic-looking pyrotechnics. Just touch the screen and create your personal fireworks display with 3D graphics and sound effects. Add your favorite music and save your fireworks displays to play for year round patriotic fun. For exploding firecrackers download Fireworks by Moonbeam Development app for Android. The sounds of sizzling firecrackers, whistling rockets and hissing pinwheels are all included.
One of the highlights of this holiday weekend is the family barbecue, with friends and family enjoying the outdoors and stuffing themselves with grilled delicacies. The Top Shelf app for iPhone lets you search for drinks by name or category. Better still, though, is this app's ability to tell you what drinks you can make using only the liquor you have on hand. The Dinner Spinner iPhone app can show you how to create a patriotic flag cake from start to frosting, and how to put red, white and blue jimmies and strawberries and cream to best effect for the holiday.
What better way to test your patriotism than with a quiz of the United States? The U.S. States Quizzle app will pop up questions related to the myriad of official flowers, slogans and ratification dates. Also you can quiz yourself on U.S. presidents, or try to stump your friends, with the U.S. Presidents Trivia for Android. You get 30 seconds to pick from four answers to find out who was the only president who never married.
Get into the nostalgic spirit of things with a selection of vintage 4th of July themed greeting cards from Vintage 4th of July Cards app. Choose from more than 100 cards using a flip-through mode, send one to your friends or display your American pride by using one as your iPhone's wallpaper.
