iPhone Fro-yo Apps


Fro-yo girl here. Did you know that there are 300,000 mobile apps in the Apple app store? Of course fro-yo apps exist. There are three categories of free fro-yo iPhone apps:

1. Store/fro-yo chain informational/promotional apps: OrangeLeaf, SkinnyMinnys, Spoon Me and LaFroyo’s apps are similar to what you’d expect to find on a fro-yo store website. They list store locations, menu items, special offers, and connections to social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). SpoonMe’s app also serves as a mobile loyalty card.

2. Fro-yo games: SwirlIt has Froyo Flip, a simple memory matching game. Wicked Spoon’s game involves using a spoon to flip fro-yo into a fro-yo cup. The cup gets smaller with every level. There’s also the wind factor. It’s a hard game, moderately interesting. Make Froyo lets you design your own cup of virtual fro-yo. Amy’s Froyo2 is very similar to Make Froyo (you build your own cup of fro-yo) with crazier flavors (sweet corn) and toppings (cucumber).

3. Fro-yo finders: Flavors of the Day (FOTD) is lame and never seems to work, probably because no one is submitting flavors. The app is supposed to let you find the flavor you want in your area.

Make Froyo is my favorite fro-yo app. There’s something relaxing about choosing a cute cup, swirling fro-yo, adding toppings, choosing a cute spoon and eating your creation. The swirl always looks pretty and you can customize with toppings, including mochi.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
