House Spoilers: iPhone App Review by TV Overmind

Sam McPherson of TV Overmind made this very good material about the iPhone App of House which is the InHouse.  See it below and tell me what you think of the iPhone App.

In this wintry economic climate, it’s always smart to search the iTunes store for the free applications first, because there are more hidden gems there than you’d expect. Here’s one that I found: InHouse, a free app that is essentially the go-to app for all things House. I believe it’s been around for a while, but as I was unaware that it was free up until this point, I felt it necessary to go ahead and give my opinion.

First of all, I have to say that the graphics are really cool on it. The main menu, comprised of neurons, is especially neat, featuring subtle animation and a nice color spectrum. And, unlike most free apps of its kind, the menu is very, very far from bare bones.

There are several options to choose from, including Appisodes with Nurse Jeffrey and a Dark Room in which to view behind-the-scenes photography. However, my favorite of these is the Houseisms option, which essentially takes the witty House quotes from the most recent episode and puts them in bite-sized form on House’s whiteboard. It’s surprisingly up-t0-date; the app already includes quotes from Monday’s episode “Now What?”

Another cool bit is the music room, which is underdeveloped but still fairly nice. It features a still-incomplete tracklisting of music used on the show (right now there’s only the original score song “Help Me” from last year’s finale).

Finally, there’s the Writers’ Room feature, which has the show’s scribes weighing in on the scripts of episodes of the show. Again, it’s updated to the most recent episode, “Now What?” so you can get pretty up-to-date commentary on the behalf of the writers.

Overall, InHouse is way too good of an app to be free, but for some reason it is. House fans, take advantage of it while you can.
