Fixtures and more from iFooty
With 237 (and counting) almost universally glowing reviews, iFooty is one app that’s scoring well on the UK iPhone App Store, riding high on the Top 25 Free apps list.
What it does it pretty simple — aggregating football league data and news articles from a variety of BBC sources — but it does it very well and with great style. As many of the user reviews [App Store link] point out, it’s one of those apps that’s really, genuinely, use-it-six-times-a-day useful.
I should point out, for the vast American majority of readers on this site, that when I say “football,” I mean it in the UK sense of the word. I suspect you know it better as soccer. But over here it’s football, or just footy, and iFooty’s comprehensive coverage of the uppermost football leagues in England (Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two) and Scotland (Premier League) offers something for many millions of fans. And, better yet, it does so for free.
The official iFooty web site doesn’t tell you much; you’re better off going to the App Store for more info.

TrailRunner 1.7 Released
On this long weekend (for some of us), how about some outdoor activity? TrailRunner updated its route planning software for runners, bikers, and hikers that works with your iPod nano and Nike+ sport kit.
TrailRunner 1.7 is the latest release of the software, which can now import workout data from the Garmin ForeRunner 50, and from nikeplus.com. It also improves the diary history chart.
This new version is 4.3MB, Leopard-only, and donationware. (Version 1.6 still runs in Tiger.) It’s also available in French and German.
