Review Conditions
Crack It from Impetus Technologies was installed on a Nokia 5800 XPressMusic, an S60 5th edition device with Symbian OS version 9.4 and a Nokia E71, an S60 3rd edition device with Symbian OS 9.3.
Installation
Crack It is available in the Ovi store and you can get a URL via SMS to download it. The Ovi store application automatically installs the application after purchase.
First View
You have purchased a shiny new touch screen device which is the object of attraction for all people around you. Wouldn’t it be a great practical joke for the screen to crack just when a friend touches the screen? Imagine the incredulous look on his face while your friends are rolling in laughter. Read on.
Main Review
Crack It as the name suggests is a prankster’s favorite application. Launch the application and set a delay timer to activate the screen crack.
Hand over your phone to a friend and ask him to check out a new photo or video. When he touches the screen, he will be greeted with a loud noise of glass shattering and a broken screen.
You can select from 6 different pre-recorded sounds of glass shattering. There are 3 simple soft keys in the Set Sound menu. They are to select, play or delete the sound.
The delay time is also configurable. Instead of writing the seconds using the keypad, it could have been easier to just set a few pre-defined default intervals, say 5, 10, 15 and 20 seconds.
You can also record a sound. The Record Sound menu takes you to the voice recorder and you could break a few bottles or mirrors to record live sound.
New images can be added that show on the screen when Crack It plays the glass shattering sound. But the images built in are quite realistic and I’ll go with them.
Crack It also works on S60 3rd edition devices. I installed it on a Nokia E71. The application works exactly the same as in S60 5th edition devices.
Handling
Setup is very simple. In fact, all you need to do after launching the application is to select the Crack It soft menu on the lower right. The default delay time is 10 seconds and the default sound is Crack It 1.mp3.
Weaknesses
There are no weaknesses. The impact of Crack It would have been even stronger if the Nokia 5800’s screen was made of glass.
Conclusion
Crack It from Impetus Technologies is a simple entertainment application that creates maximum shock value and a good laugh. Enjoy it. Its good funny stuff and I’ll give it 4 of 5.
