I’ve had the iCatchall app by Michael Burford’s Headlight Software, for a while now. I’m pretty sure I got it when it was free at the App Store. Now it’s 99 cents but it’s 99 cents for what is now 24 applications in this one. Now, not all the apps are important or useful or even beyond being highlighted in our WTF apps of the week as individual apps (Flaming Balls of Fire?) but there are some useful ones and  the small kids in my life like some of the other ones too. When I got it, iCatchall was 16 apps in one. Now, as I said, it’s 24 apps. So, for your 99 cents you get apps continually added on. The apps even include the kitchen sink, or at least a game called the kitchen sink which I actually had as an individual app on my iPod Touch but removed once I got iCatchall. Almost all of theapps included in iCatchall are for sale at the App Store and many of them involve shelling out some money. Contact Clone and File Storage alone are worth the cost of this app but if you ever have the urge to listen to a fart, there’s one in iCatchall. Need a flashlight? iCatchall has one. Digital clock? Got one. Lunar calendar? Massager? Roll the dice? Got them too. You get the point. Check out the full list of apps on their site. There’s a whole lot of stuff in this one, reasonably priced app and if you don’t want the fart stuff, you can just buy iCatchall Tools which has the useful stuff without all the fun (but also for 99 cents so why wouldn’t you just get the complete version–you never know when a kid nearby could be occupied by playing with dice or listening to a fart).

The good: 24 apps in one and more added from time to time. You never know what will be next.

The bad: I’ve had a few crashes, but that gets better with each update and there are some pointless apps.

The bottom line: A great app that provides a wide variety of uses and saves you loads of money and icon space by combining them into one app. If I had the choice of only one app on my iPod Touch, it would be iCatchall.
