One of the best things about the iPod and iPod Touch is that in spite of the applications they each have that you have to pay for, there are also just as many one's that you don't have to pay for. That's right -- they're free! Such a wonderful word and one that practically everyone loves to hear.
Sometimes though, the word free is associated with poor quality. The phrase, "You get what you pay for" also comes to mind. When applying such a phrase, you wouldn't get very much when you get something that was free since, well, you didn't pay ANYTHING for it at ALL!
However, the iPod and iPod Touch apps seem to be one of the exceptions to such a rule. In the interests of saving you a ton of time while trying to look for all of the free iPod Touch apps that are worth your while, we've gone and chronicled the Top 5 Best Free iPod Touch Apps for your utilization pleasures!
The main premise of Traffic Rush is one part puzzle game and one part high speed time management game. Basically, you tell several different vehicles to either speed up or slow down all in an effort to get them through a four-way intersection safely. And by safely, we mean that none of them crash into the others (obviously).
Although the game (like so many others) starts out easily enough, as you progress through the levels it becomes much more difficult. Not only will you have more vehicles to deal with but they will also have varying speeds whereas in the beginning levels they are all going at relatively the same slow speed.
All in all it's an incredibly fun and addictive app that would be well worth every penny if it were a paid app. But luckily for all of us, it's free -- so please do enjoy!
