Exclusive Interview Questions: Ballast Lane Applications, LLC for Master Pieces: The Curator’s Game
We love Master Pieces: The Curator’s Game iOS app here at theappwhisperer.com. The games within the app are based on over 350 details from 54 masterpieces. They challenge you to identify the artist of a detail with help from clues and the ability to view the full work. There are three ways to play. The first two do not require any background in art history while the third is for those who know (or, think they know!) all about the classics. We are currently reviewing this app but in the meantime we wanted to interview the developer, Larry Ehrhardt to find out how this app came to be materialised and…
Our App Of The Day – Air Penguin
Players will guide Air Penguin through the icy South Pole using simple multi-directional tilt controls, made possible with the gyroscope in iPods, iPhone and iPads. Air Penguin will bounce through most of his journey but when he gains speed he can slide down the ice and then take off for a glide through the air. While dodging around hazards like thin ice, stubborn seals, jumping swordfish and angry sharks, other creatures such as turtles and whales can give a ride or another boost on his path. The endless Survival mode will mix things up for a fresh challenge, or items can be used to help get through the 100 stages…

So says Petter Silfver within his blog on Significant Pixels where he compares different…
Royal Wedding 2011 iOS App Review
It’s not long to go now until the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as a matter of fact, according to the Royal Wedding 2011 app, it is precisely 17 days and 18 hours away. The excitement is really growing not just in the UK but all around the world. Speaking from personal experience I can report that it’s getting difficult to even shop around the supermarket for ‘normal’ groceries between all the bunting, Union flags and Prince William champagne that is now adorning the shelves. With this being such a significant wedding it is very appropriate that there are now some great Royal Wedding apps within the…
