Daily App Digest – February 1, 2012

TimeTag stands out from the competition in that ease of use was a primary design objective. Instead of convoluted start & stop buttons, which can be confusing, the app features a giant button that’s easy to tap. Activities are organized by tags which can further be organized into categories. At the end of each day, the user can quickly glance at the records to see where time was spent, without manual addition of time spent per activity.

The export gives the user a clean, simple list of their records which can be exported as a webpage, or as a CSV file to use in any spreadsheet application. As most people have their preferred invoicing templates, the export is devoid of unnecessary markings and theming.

Karen Robertson, author of "Treasure Kai," held a contest – "Be an App Star" – to find fans to feature in the app. To land the cameo roles, the children drew treasure maps and included the hero, Treasure Kai, somewhere on their maps. Award-winning illustrator of Treasure Kai, Victor Guiza, designed cartoons in the images of the winners. The new version of the app that features the fans can be downloaded via the Apple store.

"The ‘App Star’ contest has been a terrific way to build excitement among our readers and buzz about our app. Children and parents from around the world participated, something that would have been hard to do with our printed book."

A public online vote determined the 15 semi-finalists who advanced to a panel of guest judges that selected one winner from each age group. The winner are Riley Darlison 6, Hunter Brossman 7, and Walid Sibai 11. Angela Walsh, an 11 year-old with Down syndrome, won the "Creator’s Choice" award from the author and illustrator for her enchanting abstract map.

Catch the Monkey launches today in the Apple App Store. This innovative game bucks the action-game trend of using violence to overcome obstacles. In Catch the Monkey, adorable and curious monkeys invade an elderly farmer’s field. Players help remove them by using a variety of humorous and non-violent tools. Game developer Mirthwerx found this radical approach so conceptually difficult, that it almost didn’t happen.

"We’re steeped in a gaming culture of violence. It was hard to break free and think of new solutions," says co-designer Thomas Henshell. "Even mobile hits considered family-friendly contain cartoon violence. Plants vs. Zombies has shooting of zombies, while Angry Birds has the crushing of pigs."  

Artist and co-designer Alex Lin recalls the early design dilemmas, "The monkeys are like toddlers: cute, curious, and always getting into trouble. With this artistic direction it was clear the player cannot harm the monkeys. We discarded numerous concepts before one day discovering the key while observing a parent. When toddlers are doing something they shouldn’t, parents will shake a rattle to shift the child’s attention. Parents have been using distraction for centuries!  With this distraction concept, we knew we could move forward and make a great game!"

But how would players feel about a non-violent action game? Thomas responds, "We know people may think non-violent means non-fun. This was a huge hurdle. It wasn’t about merely coming up with non-violent solutions, but coming up with fun and engaging non-violent solutions. The distraction mechanic makes for an enjoyable experience that can get quite intense. Yet, beneath the cute, funny visuals, is a game of serious depth. There is plenty of challenge even for the veteran gamer."

Elf Defense 1.0.1, a stunningly executed, brand new tower defense game from veteran developer JellyOasis, sets a new standard with exceptional graphics and game design. The premise of the game, well-communicated in both the game’s narrative cut scenes and within the gameplay itself, is simple. The elf nation has been generous with their human neighbors, extending their magical skills and resources. But their generosity has only incited greed in their former allies. Now, the human army is committing an unforgivable intrusion – attacking the elves in their own settlements.

Players strategically position elven and mercenary forces along the path of assault in order to protect the elven castle. Each stage requires defeating a predetermined number of enemy waves, without allowing the fortress to be overcome. As the game progresses, greater complexity is introduced as players gain access to more combat unit types, special soldiers for higher, and items. The human forces and their allies grow more sophisticated in their attacks as well, creating balanced, satisfying pacing throughout the game.

Elf Defense faces stiff competition in the thriving tower defense genre, but JellyOasis has little to worry about. The unique character design and superb HD graphics set the game apart, and Elf Defense boasts charm that is not just skin deep. In addition to the unique block-like character design, the vibrant palette of colors, and charming, detailed animation, the game play itself is sure to build a loyal fan base.

Everywhere on the platforms the player can collect so called "Uranium". With sufficient "Uranium" it is possible to upgrade abilities, buy power-ups and even new pellets. This will allow the player to add a bright shining shield to his pellet, get higher scores in less time and make it even possible to resurrect after death.

To start with, users are able to choose from a variety of alarms including music from their own iPod; tunes selected from provided music; personally typed text-to-voice message; or a personally recorded voice. While a user’s sense of hearing is addressed by the alarm, their sense of sight is appeased when they upload a favorite photo for display when the alarm goes off. An example of how this duo might work together would be the recording of a child’s voice and a photo of the child being the first things heard and seen as a user wakes up. It makes waking up easy and happier.

Custom Alarm Clock Lite also acts as a flashlight when shaken, and automatically finds local weather conditions, displaying temperatures in the user’s choice of Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Spur Design, a nationally recognized design and illustration studio, has released a new ipad app, PrestoBingo Shapes, which teaches shape recognition and counting. It is designed for children ages 2-6. Illustrated by Joyce Hesselberth, PrestoBingo Shapes takes a modern approach to app design.

PrestoBingo Shapes provides an introduction to geometry for children. Circles, diamonds, ovals, rectangles, semi-circles, squares, triangles, trapezoids, and triangles are explained and identified. Each screen presents a different shape-finding puzzle and kids are verbally and visually prompted to click on the shapes. Animations throughout the app explain geometric forms concisely, and encourage children to see shapes in a unique way. When prompted for more information, the apps narration explains, " A trapezoid is a triangle with the top cut off. It can be a tent in the woods, or a lampshade, or a ship sailing away."

The premiss for designing this app was the simple idea that we can find shapes everywhere. As creator Joyce Hesselberth explains, "A square isn’t just a square. It’s a present, a building, a jack-in-the-box, a window. Sometimes it’s even something silly, like my brother’s head, or a balloon that’s not quite right. Shapes are everywhere."

Typing with 10 fingers is faster and more comfortable by a self adapting key configuration: TypeWay continuously adapts the virtual keyboard to individual hands, hand sizes, hand positions, and typing habits. That supports fast touch-typing for note taking and the flow of thinking and writing, as in education, business, or journalism. The innovative app makes use of iPad’s multi-touch capabilities.

The first self-adapting multi-touch keyboard TypeWay 1.0 is available on market. For typing with all ten fingers this utility app is an innovation, which fits to iPad’s technology of sensing 10 touches simultaneously (on iPad even up to 11 touches are possible). Conventional keyboards require a discipline to tap in linear rows, however for example pinky finger and ring finger would prefer relative short distances. Hands are individual in size, shape, and typing habits, and may shift their position. This app uses information about touch events in several algorithms to control and refresh the configuration of keys continuously (patents and patents pending). From user’s perspective the concept is in a new way simple.

The app allows fast typing e.g. for note taking, protocols, lesson-scripts, interviews, mails, and basic text editing. The keys adapt to small hands of children, pupils, and scholars. Blind typing eases the closely connected processes of thinking and writing for students and journalists, and might increase the productivity of professionals.

Unlike many ‘calculate & forget’ calculators, this calculator supports the transparent and reusable operation as it is necessary in science, school and office. Beside many functional improvements (a huge set of physical/chemical constants) and interface improvements the B1 comes along with a complete new way of realizing arithmetic bracket function – called ‘Formula Injection’.

Werner Schmidtberg (Chief Developer, MTbrain): "The typical scientific way of solving complex questions or calculation is to cut them in smaller, more transparent and less error prone pieces. That’s exactly the model behind formula injection, which we have developed for this version.It is part of the educational design pattern of the Scientific Calculator B1.It lets the user break operations into independent, logical pieces which can be injected later into a running calculation. Utilizing bracket keys and bracket function is no more longer necessary."

The calculator itself uses the arithmetic Infix-Notation system which has been developed by MTbrain from the ground up. A wide range of mathematical operations and of common conversion functions are supported, including logarithms, trigonometric functions, roots and arbitratry exponents. During the whole operation the calculator displays the complete calculation path for each single calculation step. Operators and Brackets are checked and set automatically. The final results and formulas can be persist in the flash memory and as a full record in the internal database as well. The records can be commented for later documentation and can be reused in every detail to continue later operations. The Database records can be sent via email in normal text format for the universal use in other documents.

Featuring nearly 200 photos that can be expanded to display fullscreen, a candid and poetic text narrative, and optional quiz questions through each of the book’s seven chapters, TasteOfWind is written in lively, dynamic language. The ebook, written by Alex Land, contains his first-person narrative and his powerful photos of Mongolia’s native Yurts, mountains, lakes, snow, and fishing. The ebook provides an authentic experience of this exotic country that is covered by steppes, mountains, and deserts, and which is the world’s 19th largest but most sparsely populated country with only 2.75 million people.

Seven Book Chapters:
* The Thrill of the Road – five men in two cars set out through the Altai Mountains
* Customs Gives the OK, But Wear Out the Nerves – three hours getting through customs
* Gasoline Pump, or There Are No Trivialities on the Road – the fuel pump breaks down on the car creating an unscheduled stop
* A Feast for the Body and the Soul – catching the first fish, a Mongolian grayling
* To the Source and Back – traveling through the harsh beauty and desolate valleys of Mongolia’s mid-mountain region
* Wood, Stones, Clouds – the sharp stones and prickly bush grass of the Valley of the Kobdo-Gol River
* Escape From Paradise – weathering a blinding blizzard and leaving Mongolia

TasteOfWind displays beautifully on the iPad in landscape orientation, and each page contains several color photographs shot by the author. Touching any photo expands it fullscreen to reveal subtle colors and picture detail. Included in each chapter are quiz question regarding the material just read. Users answer multiple-choice questions, and their final score is tabulated at the end of the book.
