FlagWaver
I decided to quit my programming job at Google, start a small company, and write an app with my best friend Graham Bartram. As he's a top flag expert these days, the result was FlagWaver. Watch his beautiful high quality flag artwork ripple in a virtual breeze as you spin and zoom them, even drag the simulated fabric with your finger.
The app supports two-sided flags like Oregon, which has a beaver on the back, and even flags that are weird shapes like those of Ohio or Nepal. Tilt the device to affect the angle of wind and gravity.
It's got a good starter set of a couple of dozen high rez flags built-in, and its internal flag store lets you buy 99 cent add-on packs like all the US States, or a ridiculously comprehensive Europe set which has two flags just for Liechenstein. The flag store even has a set of genuine pirate flags of actual pirates.
Universal app works on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, needs iOS 5.0 or better, costs less than two bucks.
