SongStumblr – Geosocial Music Discovery comes to the App Store

by editor on 22. Aug, 2010 in news

London, United Kingdom – Frimby Limited today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of SongStumblr 1.0, an application which allows users to see and hear what nearby people are listening to, and to share out their own music to the people in their surrounding: location orientated music discovery and sharing. Users can listen to discovered songs for free, purchase songs, or find information about songs from online databases all from within the application.

As soon as SongStumblr is opened, the user automatically shares out their music and can see what nearby users are listening to. Users can still control their music whilst running the application with a custom controller or can access other music controls by running the application in the background, using multitasking. SongStumblr users can share to, and discover music from devices at a range of up to 60 feet from them. Users have the ability to customise their username which appears on other devices and have the option to appear anonymous.

SongStumblr’s groundbreaking feature is that the user can listen to discovered songs for free in the application’s embedded media player. The user can purchase a song from the device’s iTunes(TM) Music Store or can get information on their discovered song through using online databases such as Google(TM), Wikipedia(TM), Twitter(TM), Bing(TM) and more, without ever leaving the application. The user also has the option to keep discovered songs by saving them to an offline database. Sticking to the geosocial theme of the application, a user can find out additional information about a saved song, such as the username of the person they discovered it off, or the discovery’s geocoded location. Songs can then be viewed on a map layout based on saved GPS data. (iPod touches use Skyhook(TM) for this).

Features include:
* Discover songs from nearby devices automatically
* Listen to discovered songs for free in our built in media player
* Find out information about discovered songs from search engines
* These include Google(TM), Wikipedia(TM), Bing(TM), Twitter(TM) Search and more
* Purchase the song from within the application

* SongStumblr automatically shares your current song when you open it
* You can configure your name on other devices with length of up to 8 characters
* You can also appear anonymous
* You can run the application in the background and hence can control your music from outside the app if you want, and then can re-open it every now and then to see who’s about and in doing so share your current song
* Control your music right from within the app

* Add discovered songs to a personal database which you can keep forever
* Store the location (reverse geocoded) of the discovery
* Store other data about your discoveries such as the person’s username or date
* Continue looking up information on-demand from many databases
* See your songs in a map view based on discovery locations

Device Requirements:

Pixels Trade releases Play with the ARABIC words 1.0 for iOS

by editor on 21. Aug, 2010 in news

Tunis, Tunisia – Pixels Trade today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Play with the ARABIC words 1.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Ideal for children from 2 to 7 years old, Play with the ARABIC words is perfect if you dream about a world where children learn the alphabet on their own. If you want to begin in written Arabic, there is an application for that!

The goal is to learn letters and to associate them to form words in a very playful and educational way. The color codes help the kids to memorize the alphabet quickly while having fun. The game also develops three essential senses of the child: touch, view, and hearing.

Play with the ARABIC words offers three levels of difficulty, allowing children to progress gradually. The first level, for the youngest, with short words, trains kids to recognize the right letter and to put it in the right place. The second level has longer words. In the third level the child has to build the words himself.

If a letter is not put at the right place it will return to its initial position. A return button is at the top of every interface to return to the menu of levels choices. As soon as the word is correct, two buttons show up: sound button and next button, and a sound track will start automatically to congratulate the child.

Second reading of the word gets activated by sound button. Going to the following word gets activated by next button. If the child does successfully complete a level, an applause and congratulations message appears for recognition. Because he is being recognized in a fun manner, the child feels like going to the next level.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1.2 or later
* 2.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Play with the ARABIC words 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

ComicBookPad 1.0 for iPad – Comic Book Reader with iTunes Playback

by editor on 20. Aug, 2010 in news

Sofia, Bulgaria – Developica today is pleased to introduce ComicBookPad 1.0 exclusively for iPad, their full-featured comic book reader that allows simultaneous reader functionality and iTunes playback in iOS 3.2 or later. The app operates so as to permit this multitasking despite the present lack of an iPad compatible version of iOS 4. The iPad optimized reader includes: real-time display and zoom, thumbnails of every page, a file library with stacks, no-lag page turning, and .cbr, .cbz, .rar, and .zip file import capability.

Reading comic books on ComicBookPad is completely glitch-free, with no choppy images, sluggishness, or lags. At launch, the selected book is loaded into cache memory, facilitating very fast, smooth operation. The user can flip through pages as quickly as desired, and may gain random access to any page using the page thumbnail display that can be activated at the bottom or the screen. The app functions in either portrait or landscape orientation, but since only one page may be displayed, most users will opt for portrait mode.

The iPad display is ideal for viewing comic books. The colors are vivid, there is a wide dynamic range between whites and blacks, and the light emitting display gives the images greater realism than printed inks on inexpensive paper. eComicbooks for which no digital originals exist (approximately pre-1985) are usually just scans of the original printed version. These lack the clarity and power of original digital artwork, but the user can easily zoom in on scanned books which automatically increases their impact and realism.

Feature Highlights:
* ComicBookPad 1.0 turns the iPad into a perfect comic book reader
* The app accommodates all major comic book file formats including: .cbr, .cbz, .rar, and .zip
* Download eComicbooks to a computer, and then easily upload to ComicBookPad on iPad
* Easily zoom in and out with iPad optimized graphical display
* Designed to run smoothly with no lag or broken images
* Listen to iTunes while ComicBookPad is running – multitasking without iOS 4
* Page slider shows thumbnail view of every page for random access to any page
* Fully searchable library, and file groups
* Integrated music player controls, playlists, and search

ComicBookPad 1.0 is designed to allow both the reader and iTunes player apps to run simultaneously. Multitasking, available in iOS 4 and later, is not yet available for the iPad, making ComicBookPad one of the few comic book readers that permits the user to enjoy some tunes while following the exploits of their favorite superhero. The app also supports bookmarking, which allows the user to return to where they may have left off reading. Comic book files can be grouped into stacks which appear in the app’s library. In addition, the user can set the last file opened to re-open on launch. File transfer from computer to iPad is fast and easy using the USB connection provided by the 30 pin docking cable.

“There are quite a few comic book readers for iOS,” commented the founder Radi Danchev. “But none have both full iPad optimization, and iTunes plus reader capability.”

Device Requirements:
* iPad compatible (iPhone and iPod touch not supported)
* iOS 3.2 or later
* 2.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ComicBookPad 1.0 is $8.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category. Review copies are available upon request.

“When I purchased my first iPhone, I instantly fell in love with it” said Gregg Levine, founder of 288 Vroom LLC. “As a avid reader, I searched the app store for good reading material for when I was ‘mobile’. While I found plenty of book apps to choose from and many relatively inexpensive ones, most were either just a single story or a small collection of stories. So in order to have a large collection of stories on my iPhone, I would have had to pay for a bunch of apps and eventually I would have run out of space on my phone. So I decided to create an app that was inexpensive, attractively designed, and most importantly had a large collection of stories without taking up too much memory on the phone. From this idea came 301+ Short Stories. I hope the users of this app enjoy it as much as I do.”

Gliwice, Poland – Announcing Sigma3 Games, the developer of Enigma Balls, has released the latest update for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. The game app provides arcade style fun and all of the challenge that even hardcore gamers could ask for. Enigma Balls uses only touchscreen controls for its more than one hundred levels of gameplay, where users must create dividing lines between moving ion balls with their fingers.

Players must use their finger to drag and create dividing lines between the balls and capture 75% of the screen’s surface. When they do, they are awarded bonuses and move to the next stage. All of the controls are touchscreen, giving Enigma Balls a very user-friendly interface and Sigma3 makes great use of graphics acceleration in the game.

The features available in Enigma Balls:
* Uses only super-easy touchscreen controls
* Has more than 100 stages of increasingly difficult challenge

Brag About Your Best Words in WordPop! for iPhone

by editor on 19. Aug, 2010 in news

Bellingham, Washington – Smart Box Design today is pleased to announce that WordPop! for iPhone now has a “Brag” feature allowing players to quickly and easily email their family, friends, and co-workers their longest and highest scoring words. Now over 60,000 players of WordPop! and Diet WordPop! can have “Bragging Rights” when they make that great high scoring word. This free upgrade is available now for download on the App Store.

“With over 60,000 downloads of WordPop! and Diet WordPop! our players are very dedicated to the game and love to outdo each other. Now they can quickly brag about their latest word and impress their friends” says Todd A. Sherman, President, Smart Box Design, “Additionally, bragging motivates players to do better as they attempt to out score each other.”

WordPop! has a Best Words list and a global Best Words list located online, but until now, players could not readily show off their Best Words. The addition of a Brag button within the game and on the Best Words lists solves this. When Brag is selected, a formatted email with the latest and greatest best words appears. The player simply decides who they want to impress and then send the email on its way.

WordPop! requires just the right combination of word-building strategy, skill, and luck. The 6 x 6 game board is filled with randomly selected and placed letter tiles. The object of the game is to clear the board by creating words. As each word is formed, the tiles in the word are removed and the remaining tiles fall to fill in the gaps, creating new word possibilities. Players need to plan ahead in order to clear the board and move on to the next round. Since the letters are randomly selected and placed on the board, each round of the game is unique, providing unlimited gaming experience. As players gain confidence and experience their word building skill naturally increases.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 2.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
WordPop! 2.1 is currently $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Diet WordPop! is Free.
