Shaderific brings OpenGL ES shader development to iPhone and iPod touch - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shaderific version 2.2 is available on the App Store now. Shaderific is a utility app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch that helps computer science students and experienced developers to get started with OpenGL ES 2.0 shader development. The app makes it possible to write, compile and test shader programs directly on any iOS device without ever touching a laptop or desktop computer. Version 2.2 adds support for iPhone and iPod touch, making it now a universal iOS application.

Hamburg, Germany - Gryphos GmbH has released Shaderific version 2.2, a significant update of its OpenGL ES 2.0 shader development application for iOS. Shaderific provides the full range of shader development with the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) on tablet computers and mobile devices. Vertex and fragment shader code can be created, edited and compiled on the device and all changes are visible instantly. There is no need to use a personal computer (laptop or desktop) in the shader development process anymore.

Starting shader development can be a difficult and complex task for a beginner. Shaderific smoothes the learning experience dramatically by hiding away a lot of the technical complexity, that way letting the user focus solely on the shaders. 18 build-in shaders are demonstrating fundamental development techniques ranging from basic coloring and lighting shaders to advanced texture shaders with normal and environment mapping. The user can start to experiment with these shaders right away without writing a line of code. Alternatively, shader, object and texture files can be imported via Dropbox to give a maximum of flexibility in creating new custom shaders.

Shaderific streamlines the process of prototyping, testing and debugging shaders immensely by cutting the cord to the personal computer. Whereas traditional shader development requires compilation of the whole graphics application for every change to a shader file, all this is unnecessary now. Since the shaders are edited and compiled right on the iPad or iPhone no file transfer is needed with a personal computer and a lot of time can be saved. A further strength of Shaderific lies in the possibility to change parameters (uniforms) of the shaders via the settings menu without interrupting the rendering loop. All changes can be examined in real-time and fine-tuning the rendering result is fast and easy.

New features of version 2.2:
Shaderific is now a universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch

Device requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 26.7 MB

Pricing and availability:
Shaderific for iOS is available for $2.99 (USD), or the local equivalent, on the iTunes App Store. Review copies are available upon request.

Twindocs - New App to Print, Staple and Send Documents - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Twindocs International Services announces the release of its free mobile app, Twindocs. The new app joins the company's website and desktop software program in allowing people to store and access important files from anywhere - online, on computers, and on mobile devices. One of the most interesting features of Twindocs is that users can literally "print" documents directly to their account, which is a more secure, cost effective, and environmentally friendly solution.

Boston, Massachusetts - Twindocs International Services announces the release of its free mobile app, Twindocs. The new app joins the company's website and desktop software program in allowing people to store and access important files from anywhere - online, on computers, and on mobile devices.

One of the most interesting features of Twindocs is that users can literally "print" documents directly to their account. Using Twindocs Tools, a desktop software program for Windows or Mac computers, users are able to use Twindocs as a virtual printer (instead of using a physical printer), which is a more secure, cost effective, and environmentally friendly solution.

To make sending, receiving, and archiving important documents easier, Twindocs allows users to staple many files together as one and send them securely. Even large files that in the past were difficult to share with friends, colleagues, or clients can now be sent with the app on iPhone, iPad, and Android.

"Twindocs is the perfect substitute to keeping your papers in a shoebox or drawer," said Gabriel Marro, Founder of Twindocs International Services. "It's a revolutionary approach to archiving documents in the cloud that has not been done in this way before."

Designed for both business and personal use, Twindocs can be used to send any type of document in any format including Microsoft Word, JPEG images, PDF files, and many more. Users can even take a photograph of tickets from inside the app and archive them for safekeeping. In addition, the app offers an "Open with Twindocs" feature, which will upload any file attached to an email or downloaded from the internet.

In the past, sending multiple documents - especially large files - was a hassle. Files would need to be attached to an email individually, and large files could not be easily sent or received. Twindocs solves this problem by allowing users to "staple" together multiple files and send them all together in one convenient package without the need for attachments.

Sending files through regular email is not secure and may not reach its recipient, but Twindocs was designed as the safe and reliable alternative. Transmitted data is always encrypted to ensure files are secure. Also, using Twindocs to send documents avoids the problem of spam filters and senders can ask for a delivery receipt.

"Twindocs is the only stapler in the cloud," Gabriel Marro said. "You can upload documents, staple them, and send all together - it's quick, easy, and secure."

Users can drag and drop notes, photos, and documents to upload them to Twindocs. Files can be sent to anyone with an email address. Recipients who do not have a Twindocs account will receive an email inviting them to register for free. After documents are accepted, they are transferred into the recipient's account. Also, entire folders can be shared or subscribed to.

With the Twindocs app, users can access all of the documents in their account from almost anywhere. Files can be viewed on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device without the worry of forgetting a document at the office or losing an important file if the device is stolen.

Twindocs also serves as a convenient archive in the cloud, safeguarding important documents. To keep files organized, users can create custom folders, use colored tags, and add notes. Documents can be found quickly using the search feature, which is even able to search text inside of documents.

Twindocs also acts as a secure postal service for companies that send documents to customers. In some countries, companies are using the system to deliver invoices, receipts, and other documents.

Features of the Twindocs app include:
* Send and receive documents - Share without worrying about large file sizes or spam filters
* Staple multiple files - Send many files at once and keep them organized
* Archive files - Use Twindocs to safely store documents online
* High level of security - Transmitted data is encrypted to protect files
* Stay organized - Find documents easily with folders, notes, and tags

Language Support:
English and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 3.0

Pricing and Availability:
Twindocs - File your Docs 1.5 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Productivity category. It is also available from Google Play.

Addictive New App NumberOne Exercises Both Sides of the Brain - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New app, NumberOne, from Neotko Studios SL defies the Stroop Effect by having users match pairs of tiles without reference to colour. NumberOne presents users with a colored tile featuring a number, letter or symbol, which must be matched correctly to one of several other colored tiles. It's a full left-brain and right- brain workout that's fun, challenging and addictive. The app is designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Cupertino, California - People of all ages who want to sharpen and exercise their brain in a fun, challenging and addictive way can now download the innovative new app NumberOne, and give both sides of their brain an amazing workout.

Designed by Neotko Studios SL, and recommended as a "great tool to stimulate your mind" by AppStoreArcade online, NumberOne presents users with a colored tile featuring a number, letter or symbol, which must be matched correctly to one of several other colored tiles.

And while this may seem quite straightforward, what makes NumberOne so unique is that it takes into consideration the so-called Stroop Effect, which is a phenomenon that makes people link similar colors quicker than they link similar numbers, symbols or words. For example, the Stroop Effect compels people to link green with green, red with red, and blue with blue more quickly than they link 1 with 1, or the word apple with the word apple, or a picture of a triangle with a picture of a triangle.

All of this comes into play with NumberOne, because it's the number, symbol or letters on the tiles that must be matched, and not the colours of the tiles. Hence, a purple tile with the number 362 must be matched with another tile that has the number 362 - and not the purple tile. This makes matching the tiles in NumberOne is deceptively difficult and refreshingly challenging.

And on top of this, users must race against the clock to make as many matches as possible without being distracted by vibrations and tilts.

When the game is finished, users see their score, average response time, best time, and the number of errors. They can also challenge their friends - or simply show off their brainy skills - via Twitter and Facebook, whilst Game Center integration allows competition with gamers around the globe. An imminent update to version 1.2 will also include 4 Game Center achievements and extend the challenge even further.

"What people love so much about NumberOne is how simple it seems at first, but how challenging it is once you start playing," commented Sebastian Sucho of Neotko Studios SL. "As human beings, we're wired to match similar colours quicker than anything else - and that's the Stroop Effect in action. But with NumberOne, it's not matching colors that matters - it's matching the number, letter or symbol on the coloured tile. And so the app is a test of focus and concentration that works both sides of the brain!"

People of all ages who want to give their both the right-brain and left-brain a workout can download the fun, challenging and addictive new app NumberOne from iTunes and Google Play.

NumberOne has already been well received by the iOS community, and received a favorable 4 out of 5 star review on MacTrast online.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 33.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
NumberOne 1.01 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category.

Neotko Studios was born from the imagination of Sebastian Suchowolski. A dedicated gamer, he has always translated his passion to his work, and in 1998 together with his brother Gabriel Suchowolski (currently CEO of Estudio Cocoe), he created Onez, one of the first online magazines for video games. As a result this project became a launchpad that transformed their hobby into a showcase of their considerable talents. Thanks to his work in Onez Sebastian was subsequently hired by the magazine PSM as Editor in Chief, coordinating the publication, articles and layout as well as working on marketing with the video games producers. Later on he continued working in the videogames and design world in enterprises such as Ya.com, Arroba Systems and Futura Networks. In 2012 he is again moving forward by creating Neotko Studios to transform his ideas and experience in games for everybody, from the casual player to the most experimented gamer.

Century Of Royal London Brought To Life In New App - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Museum of London Royal Timetrip app contains a specially edited and location-specific film collection, narrated by Helen Baxendale, covering a century of royal London life, featuring four royal weddings, two coronations and a funeral. The app, launched in time for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, allows users to immerse themselves in iconic royal events from London's past and explore the enduring relationship between the British monarchy and the people of London.

Cupertino, California - The Museum of London Royal Timetrip app contains a specially edited and location-specific film collection, narrated by Helen Baxendale (Friends, Cold Feet), which covers a century of royal London life, featuring amongst other iconic events, four royal weddings, two coronations and a funeral.

The app, launched in time for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, allows iPhone and iPad users to immerse themselves in iconic royal events from London's past and explore the enduring relationship between the British monarchy and the people of London. It is available from the App Store for $1.99 (USD).

Incredible archive footage from the app allows users to connect what they've seen in the past on their TVs at home with London's present day geography. Highlights sourced from a variety of archives such as the BBC, include:

* Princess Diana's wedding debut in front of billions worldwide and the marriage of her son Prince William to Kate Middleton in 2011
* Millions crowding the streets of London for the Coronations of the Queen and her father King George VI
* Prince Philip's vows to Princess Elizabeth at their Westminster Abbey wedding in 1947
* Churchill and the royal family celebrating VE day alongside thousands of ordinary Londoners
* Her Majesty the Queen's first public appearance as a baby on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
* After the Oscar-winning film, 'The King's Speech', watch the real King's last speech at the Festival of Britain in 1951

In addition users can explore fascinating images and objects from the Museum of London's vast collections and by interacting with pop up factoids in the app's videos and stills galleries, they can delve deeper into the capital's royal history.

The app also offers two family-friendly games. The unique wedding photo feature enables users to step into the shoes of Britain's most famous Princes and Princesses on their wedding day. The user can then share their entertaining souvenir snaps with their friends. A family tree game challenges the user to place five centuries' of British Kings and Queens in the right order.

Unique Tourism Appeal During London 2012:

If you're lucky enough to be heading to London this month you're likely to see everything that the British monarchy's pomp and pageantry has become world famous for, the streets of the Diamond Jubilee city transformed for the 30th Olympiad, the Royal Family out in force and of course Her Majesty the Queen having fun as a Bond Girl, celebrating this unique year in British history!

The Museum of London Royal Timetrip, an entertaining and informative new app enjoyable on city streets or from the comfort of your home, will immerse you in a century of royal pomp and circumstance, proving the British monarchy has always been one for the crowds. And amazingly, not just for the huge occasions of state like coronations or jubilees. Funerals, the end of war, even the return from an overseas trip, were in times past the excuse for a day off work, a massive parade, cheering, flag-waving and general pageantry, which nowadays only rolls out once or twice a decade.

The Queen's own father, George VI, attracted thousands to his coronation parade in 1937 - only two years after his father's silver jubilee in 1935. Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee procession was the first to be photographed, Indian soldiers lining the route along Piccadilly as the old and tiny Queen waved from the same coach the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge rode home in 114 years later. These and other events in London's rich royal history are explored in the Museum of London Royal Timetrip, which allows you to travel back in time and join in these celebrations.

Some might argue that of course previous generations would turn out in their thousands to watch a bit of pomp since they didn't have televisions or iPads to distract them, but there seems to be some particularly deep, personal and intimate connection between the people of Britain and their monarch, which defies fashion or the advance of technology. We want to see our King or Queen. We no longer crane our necks to catch a glimpse through paper periscopes or mirrors taped to wooden sticks, now we use our iPhones and digital cameras to get our heads above the crowd. But the appetite for taking part in these great acts of national theatre and participating in these scenes of living history, endures from generation to generation.

Perhaps we also, just a little bit, secretly wish we knew what it felt like to be them - if only for a day.

Bringing The Past To Life In Your Hands:

Explore Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and other key royal sites through an interactive map highlighting London's iconic royal landmarks which drives you to galleries of stills and video content. Enjoy 40 minutes of high quality specially edited clips organised by date, with optional pop-up factoids to explain more of what you're seeing.

Dig deeper for more info on fascinating objects and images from the Museum of London's vast collections, which can be pinched and expanded for deeper visual immersion. Links on each image take the user directly to the Museum's online collections site. A family tree game tests your knowledge of the British royal family with portrait tiles to drag and drop in the correct order and facts for every correctly placed monarch. And the unique photo feature allows users to place themselves into iconic royal moments.

Museum of London Royal Timetrip, the interactive way to explore the city's royal past, is now available worldwide in the iTunes App Store.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 244.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:

ChronoAgent Updated For Mountain Lion - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Econ Technologies updates ChronoAgent for Mac to version 1.3.5. This release fixes a problem in Mountain Lion where the Mac running ChronoAgent would go to sleep while there was an active connection. ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on the destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync giving you full root access to the source and destination. ChronoSync is the automated synchronization and backup app for Mac OS X that can synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups.

Casselberry, Florida - Econ Technologies updates ChronoAgent for Mac to version 1.3.5. This release fixes a problem in Mountain Lion where the Mac running ChronoAgent would go to sleep while there was an active connection. ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on the destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync giving you full root access to the source and destination. ChronoSync is the automated synchronization and backup application for Mac(R) OS X that can synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. If you're synchronizing two Macs, sharing a folder on a Mac server between Macs, backing up one or more Macs to a Mac server, or even maintaining a bootable backup over a network, then the combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent is the answer. As always, all existing ChronoSync and ChronoAgent users update for free, forever. We are continuously updating both and never charge for upgrades or for new versions. No user is ever left behind.

ChronoSync and ChronoAgent for Mac will run natively on both Power PC and Intel-based Macintosh(R) computers running Mac OS X 10.5 and later - Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. ChronoSync and ChronoAgent for Mac are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese. Download and try the demos, or purchase ChronoSync for $40 and ChronoAgent for Mac for $10. For more information visit Econ Technologies online.

ChronoSync is the easy way to synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. Synchronize between folders on your Mac, other Macs, PCs, external drives or anything you can mount on your Mac. Set up a Synchronizer document to schedule and automatically mount volumes so your syncs and backups are never missed. Archive your data and go back in time to restore and view older files. With ChronoSync, you can do a lot more than just copy data, you can manage data, too. Exclude files and folders, check the current sync status of files, even run trial synchronizations to see what will happen before it happens.

ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on a destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync. Normally, when you connect to another Mac you mount it using file sharing. ChronoAgent bypasses file sharing, giving you full access to the destination Mac and eliminating the need to mount via AFP, SMB or other protocols. If you gain full access to a Mac, you can copy any file. Without full access, some files are off limits. With the combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent you gain full access to both Macs, automatically backup a Mac when it joins on a network, maintain bootable backups over a network, encrypt data over a network, and more.

Orderly - The Most Natural Way to Manage To-Dos on Your iPhone - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tekton Technologies announces Orderly for iOS, their productivity App, with an intuitive user interface, that allows users to create To-Dos using simple iPhone gestures in the most natural way, setting apart other similar Apps. Notes are displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all the To-Dos, expand or contract them with pinch gestures, drag and drop between priorities, mark as complete, or swipe to delete.

San Jose, California - Tekton Technologies is pleased to announce Orderly 1.2 for iOS, their productivity app that lets users create To-Dos on sticky notes of any one of six different colors, typing in any of three different fonts. Once completed, notes are displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all their To-Dos, expand and contract them with pinch gestures, edit items, change their priority, mark them as complete, or swipe them to delete. The app includes two full-screen bookshelves, Home and Work, allowing users to keep To-Dos posted according to priority and location.

The extraordinary simplicity, practicality, and design of Orderly sets it apart from the many To-Do apps available. Having concluded that pinches and swipes are ergonomically more efficient than taps (which require hitting a target button), Tekton Technologies has employed the fundamental principles of human factors to design a To-Do app that is highly efficient, instantly informative, and accommodate of the daily needs of real people. The learning curve for the app and all its features is about one minute.

For a quick demo please visit Orderly online.

Feature Highlights:
* Create a To-Do instantly
* Great usability using simple iPhone gestures
* Pinch to zoom in/out to have a quick glance of the To-Do
* Automatically prioritizes your To-Do based on the due date
* Long press to delete, or drag n' drop to move a To-Do to a different priority
* Swipe right to mark an item completed or swipe left to delete an item from the To-Do
* Supports two boards or views: a Home view and a Work view
* Set colors/fonts, priorities
* Can set recurring dates
* Instantly share a To-Do via SMS or email
* Once a To-Do is completed, it moves automatically to the archives, and you can browse through them when needed

At launch in portrait orientation, the app opens to either the Home or Work page (reversed with a page flip transition). Sticky notes go on one of three shelves, depending on priority: High, Medium, or Low. Users are free to invent their own color-coding for notes, as the app supplies all six of the standard sticky note colors (pale yellow, pale green, pale blue, pale orange, pale red, or white). Completed notes can have their priority set from the Scheduling Menu as a category (High, Medium, Low), or according to a Due Date (user selectable from the date picker). Also available is a Recurring category that can be set for Daily, Weekly, etc.

The colored, rectangular sticky notes are displayed three to a shelf, or nine to a page. Scroll dots indicate that more notes are viewable on that shelf by scrolling horizontally. Touching any note causes it to grow to fill the entire screen. The notes are clean and spacious holding just six items in full screen mode (before scrolling) and three items in shelf display mode. When enlarged, notes may be edited, and swiping left to right across any item brings up a Completed button beside the item. Touching the button dims the item, but does not delete it, check it, or cross it out. Swiping right to left brings up a Delete button, which removes the item with a text slide animation off the page.

The app includes many customization options including backgrounds, textures, colors, fonts, headings, priorities, etc. Sound effects can be turned on/off, and Archives (completed items) maintained up to 60 days. With a colorful, clean interface for posting, checking, editing, and completing To-Dos, Orderly breaks down long lists of reminders into easily manageable sticky notes.

Orderly is the most natural way to manage your To-Do lists using simple iPhone gestures. All your info is presented as simple sticky notes, so that you can create To-Dos and post them on your board, just like a sticky note. But this App allows you to prioritize your To-Dos, without the hassle of misplacing a note or forgetting an item, just because there are too many To-Dos to manage. The best part of the app is that Orderly automatically prioritizes your To-Dos by moving around those sticky notes.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 5.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Orderly 1.2 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available on request.

Arkansas Teacher Focuses on Apps with Curriculum for Back to School - Published on 08/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Amanda Bean, first grade elementary teacher at Jessieville, began her Back to School preparation in May as she became involved with a new study involving Apps with Curriculum in the Classroom. Based on the premise that apps alone are not enough for educators, this study is part 2 of Apps with Curriculum and examines the need for app developers to provide curriculum that is Common Core State Standards aligned.

Hot Springs Village, Arkansas - Amanda Bean, first grade elementary teacher at Jessieville, began her Back to School preparation in May as she became involved with a new study involving Apps with Curriculum in the Classroom. Based on the premise that apps alone are not enough for educators, this study examines the need for app developers to provide curriculum that is Common Core State Standards aligned.

Brown used the storybook app "Penelope the Purple Pirate" by award-winning author Melissa Northway with the CCSS aligned lesson plan "My Nap Time Day Dream," created by Cyndie Sebourn and Sascyn Publishing, Inc. "Providing teachers with CCSS aligned curriculum enhances the learning possibilities with apps in the classroom (Brown)."

"Apps alone are not enough in the classroom," said Sebourn, who has had 25 years of teaching experience. "App developers need to provide educators with curriculum that aligns with the Common Core State Standards" (Sebourn).

The curriculum for "Penelope the Purple Pirate" concluded with students participating in a Skype with the author. "I think it is a wonderful experience for children to have the opportunity to converse with an author as it allows them to ask questions about the story they just read. I really enjoyed the questions and comments from the first grade students at Jessieville Elementary School. Technology has opened up so many doors for us that using Skype will become commonplace for schoolchildren around the world! I have heard of children in Africa or China with sister schools in the U.S. who are able to communicate with each other via Skype. It has the ability to bring people together!" Melissa Northway

Case Study findings reveal that:

Redmond, Oregon - Gold Lion Apps today is pleased to announce that their relatively small, three-person company, with four free apps on the App store, is successfully competing in the Finance category against the giants of the financial industry. The success of Gold Lion Apps proves that innovative apps can challenge the hegemony of multi-billion dollar banks and investment firms. Their apps have 1) been cited by Apple in "What's Hot" in the iPad and iPhone Finance category in international App Stores, 2) achieved a ranking in the Top 75 Finance Apps, and 3) been downloaded in more than 80 countries worldwide.

With the financial world appearing more risky every day, many investors are buying gold and silver coins, bullion, and stocks to preserve the purchasing power of their savings and grow their wealth. Investors are tired of losing value against inflation by keeping their money in dollars, tied up in money market funds, or other types of low-interest savings.

Investors in gold and silver check the spot price per ounce on their mobile devices every day as a quick way to evaluate their investments. They also use the spot price apps to compare and plan future investments. Links to top gold and silver companies are provided within the app, so users can invest directly.

Gold Lion Apps currently has four free apps available on the App Store, and they are Universal, optimized for display on all iDevices. FREE Gold Price Tracker is a gold and silver investment planner. FREE Gold Price Watch allows users to do retirement planning. FREE Gold is a simple game with gold competing against the dollar, and FREE Gold Fortune is a slot game with fortune sayings, which uses real gold prices.

"Gold started January 2000 at $282.0 and closed on April 30, 2012 at $1,651.25 for a total percentage gain of 485%, outperforming Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway by 3 to 1," commented John Steinke of Gold Lion Apps. "It's not too late to get into precious metals with the help of Gold Lion Apps."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later (iOS 5 tested)
