Nighty Night!

media_1304960640107.png

Going to bed is often difficult for small children. An evening ritual is important and helpful. Heidi Wittlinger & Shape Minds from Berlin have developed a bedtime app for the Apple iPhone, Nighty Night! 1.1, exactly for this purpose. The book is read by the well-known actor Alistair Findlay. The elaborate design – an animated mix of photos and drawn elements – comes from Heidi Wittlinger, who was nominated for an Oscar for her short film in 2002. After the iPad version topped US book charts in the App Store also the iPhone version also went straight to Number 1 in the iPhone book charts.

All around the house the lights go out and even the animals in the barn are tired. But who puts them to bed? Who turns out the lights in their stalls? That is the task for small children aged 2-4 years, to help get them in the mood for bedtime. In this bedtime book for the iPhone, Nighty Night!, children get to know animals interactively. Dog, Pig, Sheep, Duck, Cow, Fish and Chickens moo and bubble, hop and lay eggs, until someone turns the lights out and the animals go to sleep.

"We were very mindful of making a calm, meaningful book," says Heidi Wittlinger, author and designer of the book. "Ultimately, the goal was for the child not to be wound up after viewing the book, but instead to understand that at the end absolutely everyone is sleeping, and now it’s time for them go to bed as well. Some of us have our own small children who now love this bedtime ritual."

For the book, elaborate, small sets of wood, cardboard and other materials were specially built, which were then digitally edited. With this, a warmer, more haptic look was created, which is something special and sets it apart from the usual monotony. Even the sophisticated animation invites you to look at the book again and again.

PhotoFresh

media_1304961060939.png

Pixite LLC launches PhotoFresh App for the iPad, a fresh, new way to view, upload, and share Facebook photos and videos. Unlike other Facebook apps that try to incorporate all the features Facebook has to offer, PhotoFresh focuses on the users’ photos and videos, which are often the most interesting content on someones Facebook page.

Users can pan, zoom, and quickly sift through all their Facebook photos and videos using the intuitive navigation that is familiar to anyone who has used the native Photos app. They can also view all the photo content offline, because PhotoFresh automatically caches the photos and even entire albums. Users can also turn any iPad into the perfect picture frame using their Facebook pictures and PhotoFresh’s flexible slideshow options.

Accessing Facebook photo albums is only half the story. PhotoFresh completely changes the way people send their pictures to their News Feed by letting users quickly upload photos and videos in high definition. Adding captions and batch uploading is also available. The camera function is integrated into the app so users can also take photos and videos, and upload them directly without having to use the Camera app. Users can also upload photos from their point and shoot cameras, DSLRs, and iPhones to their Facebook account using the Camera Connection Kit.

Drug Wars!

media_1305054851015.png

The Drug Wars! app has been featured as a top 100 strategy game in the App Store of more than 40 countries worldwide. The game brings back the original challenge where users need to buy low and sell high in order to make as much money as they can before time runs out. Players travel around New York selling their wares and avoiding the police.

"People tell us how much they loved playing Drug Wars so we decided to remake and update it, with some surprising modern twists," said Shannon Holland, President of Deep Thoughts Software.

To update the game and make it more lighthearted, the app’s creators decided that users would trade in the drugs that anyone who has received a spam email is all too familiar with. With stylish graphics and colorful characters, the Drug Wars! app might seem like a basic game. But looks can be deceiving, the creators say.

"What looks like a simple game at first turns into a challenging strategy game, especially when things are always changing around you," said Holland. "No two games are the same."

Tickets on the Fly

media_1305056207770.png

Tickets on the Fly, the ingenious minds behind the first mobile person-to-person ticket sale platform, are excited to announce that the recent update of Tickets on the Fly for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch has made the organization’s free public ticket sale portal quicker to use and more practical than ever. The Tickets on the Fly app is a unique spin on the direct person-to-person sale platform model that enables users to search out and buy event tickets straight from their mobile devices without dealing with price hikes and service charges that normally litter heavily marketed "middle-man" ticket outlets such as StubHub and the like. Helping event-goers get in touch with their tickets as directly and cheaply as possible, Tickets on the Fly version 1.3 is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for free.

With the release of Tickets on the Fly version 1.3 users will now have the ability to conduct location based ticket searches in addition to the app’s normal search feature. The app itself has also been optimized to ensure that busy users experience improved loading times and smoother overall operation during use. This app is different from every other digital ticket outlet out there for one simple reason. It’s not a ticket broker!

The team responsible for creating Tickets on the Fly is not interested in buying someone’s tickets and reselling them at a profit. They simply wanted to make a platform where people with tickets to an event – concerts, sports games, the circus, it doesn’t matter – could easily connect with people searching for tickets to that same event. This means that ticket buyers don’t have to deal with the ridiculous surcharges – sometimes north of 35% – that conventional ticket resellers charge their unfortunate customers.
