iPhone App Spotlight: The Price is Right

iPhone App Spotlight Header

“Hey iPhone user, Come on Down!”. The long-running game show, The Price is Right, has come to the iPhone as a game.  Upon opening up The Price is Right, you have the opportunity to set up a contestant. From there, you are taken through the game, playing miscellaneous price-guessing games.

While the actual meat of the game is fun, there are some huge defects. For starters, it takes quite awhile to load game and scenario. While this isn’t a huge problem, it’s annoying and not ideal for a quick game while waiting in line at the grocery store. Also, actual gameplay is slow. I hardly ever find myself playing The Price is Right when I’m out and just wanting to kill time. It is fun, for say a sunday afternoon when you’re just sitting around and relaxing – and have plenty of time.

At the time of writing this post, The Price is Right is selling for $4.99. Whether or not it’s worth it at $5 is up to you. I can say though, that it is not my absolute favorite iPhone App.
