Design Your Own iPhone App

The future is now. The Internet is no longer tied down, it's with us wherever we go, on our phones. More than ever, a phone is a tool, and not for just making calls. It's a camera, a compass, an encyclopedia, cookbook, portable TV or gaming system. There is an "app" for everything. Apps, little programs you can download from various online stores, all solve a specific problem, whether it's getting directions, being entertained or finding the name of that song that's playing in the supermarket.

Take a look at some examples in these lists of top iPhone apps:

On the iPhone screen, draw a screenshot of your app. In the lined section below, describe what the app does. You will need to design three apps to complete the assignment.
