Lovett Apps has released Love Taps 1.02 for iPhone and iPod touch devices. Love Taps promises to help users navigate those squirmy, tenuous, first few weeks of a new relationship, and assists users in not screwing up the beginning of a new relationship by over-texting, calling, and/or facebook stalking a potential love interest. The application tells the user whether it’s okay to contact their love interest right then, or whether the user should wait a little while longer.

The application first asks whether the user is male or female and what the user would like to do – send a text, call, or facebook the person he or she is interested in. It then walks the user through a series of questions such as: "how long have you known him/her," "is this the first text between the two of you," "have you been drinking," "how drunk are you," etc. Based on the user’s responses, the application tells the user whether it’s okay to contact their love interest right then, or whether the user should wait a little while longer (or not contact the person at all). While we can’t claim perfect success, Love Taps will at least help users keep the object of their affection around long enough to develop a real relationship.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 or later
* 0.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Love Taps 1.02 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

Inner Ear Solutions has released iTinnitus Solutions 1.1 for iPhone and iPod Touch users suffering from tinnitus. It is a comprehensive package for tracking tinnitus and sound therapy. Using validated sound therapy techniques applied to dynamic tinnitus tracking, iTinnitus Solutions can improve the degree of perceived tinnitus. It helps users pinpoint the frequencies of their tinnitus. Once done, the frequencies can be tracked on a graph and emailed to a specialist or insurance company.

Tinnitus is a condition that causes constant ringing or buzzing in one or both ears. Typically, it is the result of natural aging or exposure to loud sounds, such as music listened to at a very high volume or industrial noise exposures. The persistent noise is very irritating and makes it difficult to relax or concentrate properly. There is no cure and many patients have just been told to live with it. This can be very frustrating for both the patient and the doctor.

As a tinnitus sufferer himself, Dr. Robin LeBlanc created iTinnitus Solutions to help the many people who seek help for the affliction, "I am a physician helping tinnitus patients in my office. So many ask for help and I did not have the tools on hand to deal with them. I collaborated with other people who have interests in the field of tinnitus in order to come up with a comprehensive sound therapy package."

The software uses a validated treatment protocol to help improve the quality of life for those who suffer from tinnitus. As long as a patient’s doctor has ruled out or treated any medical causes, a motivated sufferer can use the application to affect improvement. The Inner Ear website has a page that people can use to grade the level of their tinnitus to find their starting point for comparison over the long term.

What iTinnitus Solutions offers:
* A means to characterize the ringing in terms of pitch and volume
* Tracking of the tinnitus in a daily diary graph
* Full masking capabilities
* Residual inhibition of tinnitus based on dynamic tracking data
* Tinnitus retraining package for long term improvement
* Grade tinnitus on the Inner Ear Solutions website

Users forced to live with the maddening din of tinnitus will find this comprehensive tool a Godsend. The iTinnitus Solutions sound therapy can give them sweet relief from noise and even retrain their affliction, without even having to go the doctor’s office. In fact, the doctor comes to them through the device. No other house call is this inexpensive and helpful, especially for the long term results.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 2.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
iTinnitus Solutions 1.1 is only $4.99 (CAD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Healthcare & Fitness category.

Opetopic has just reduced the price and released a huge update for IsoWords 1.1, a word search game on a three dimensional cube. Gameplay is based on connecting adjacent letters to form words, similar to Boggle, although with Isowords the twist is that the letters are placed on a 3D cube similar to a Rubik’s Cube. With additions like global leaderboards, 3 local multiplayer modes, and daily challenges, Opetopic is celebrating the update by lowering the price of IsoWords for a limited time.

Gameplay is based on connecting adjacent letters to form words, similar to Boggle, although with Isowords the twist is that the letters are placed on a 3D cube similar to a Rubik’s Cube. When any letter is used 3 times, the cube piece is destroyed and as the cube erodes, more letters are revealed!

Those who are new to word games will have no problem jumping into IsoWords and exercising their inner word finder. They can select from time limits of 1-5 minutes, or choose to shirk time constraints with "free play" mode. Longer words with rarer letters garner more points, and the new version now uploads scores to a global leaderboard. They show high scores for each time limit, highest scoring individual words, and can be sorted to show everyone in the world, or just Twitter and Facebook friends.

Local multiplayer support over either Wifi or Bluetooth builds on the originals turn-based multiplayer mode. As long as one player has a full (paid) version of IsoWords, up to four players can play any of the 3 multiplayer gameplay modes. Opponents can play the exact same puzzle with everyone’s words showing on all screens, simultaneously play the same puzzle but without being affected by each others’ play, or set a time limit for each word in order to take the emphasis off of speed play and let players seek out longer words.

New daily challenges let all players share in a global multiplayer option, by playing the same daily puzzle, and comparing their word finding skills via a custom leaderboard calendar. "It’s always great to play games with your friends, whether you’re all together or on opposite sides of the world", says Brandon Williams, lead developer of IsoWords and founder of Opetopic. Any puzzle and its respective score can be sent as a challenge to friends through Facebook, Twitter or email. The recipient can click on the link and play the exact same puzzle as their challenger. Whether they drop the smack-down or fail miserably, the rebuttal score can be posted as well!"

"With local multiplayer, daily challenges and the ability to send personal challenges, we’ve expanded the social aspects of IsoWords so that everyone can play each other from anywhere!" says Williams. "Combined with a new standardized wordlist, a lower price, and the unique and challenging game mechanics of the original, IsoWords is fantastic for anyone interested in playing compelling word games on the iPhone."

Language Support:
* Fully localized in Spanish, French and German

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 9.5 MB

Independent iPhone’s app developer Emir F Samsuddin has announced AppliFX 1.1 for iPhone and iPod touch devices. AppliFX was created specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch platform, utilizing the touch interface. Users can pan and zoom on the photo using their fingers. There is also a before and after preview when selecting an effect. Users will be able to save the final result to their devices, or publish it to their Facebook account.

The best photo effects filters in this app are Quiksplash, Sin, Sakura, Snowy and Autumn. Quiksplash is a revolutionary and probably the easiest color splashing filter – you just need to choose a color from your photo with one tap and that color will be highlighted while the others are changed to black and white (grayscale). There is no need to draw on the photo like the other apps do.

The Sin filter creates the effects as seen in the movie Sin City. The Sakura, Snowy and Autumn filters change the appearance of trees into pinkish Sakura tree appearance, snow appearance, and tree with dried leaves appearance, respectively. There are also other filters available like Dusk, Onion, Cheese, Gothic, Sketch, Scanline, Tint Red, Tint Green, Tint Blue, Rainbow, Soften, Sharpen, Grayscale(B/W), Sepia and Invert.

The user interface has been revamped in version 1.1 and it is definitely an intuitive design. Users can pan and zoom on the photo using their fingers. There is also a ‘before’ and ‘after’ preview when selecting an effect. Users will be able to save the final result to their devices, or publish it to their Facebook account.

California based GeeThree Software, recipients of 3 MacWorld "Best in Show" Awards, today announce their first game, ImageQuest 1.0. A pictonym puzzle game for the iPhone OS, the player is asked to find the single word that links together a group of pictures. The challenge is to quickly identify the pictures, and keeping the question category in mind, type in the word that solves the puzzle. Players are scored for accuracy and speed, may advance through 30 levels, and can compete on-line.

Synonyms are words that mean essentially the same thing. Pictonyms, however, are not different pictures of the same object. Rather, pictonyms are pictures of a variety of objects which have some characteristic in common (i.e. color, shape). So playing Level 3, Spectra, the player types in ‘Red’ when faced with an assortment of objects which are all red. Having scored 250 points or more, the player can advance to the next, more difficult level.

Quickly, the categories become less well-defined, and the groupings of pictures more baffling. Only a flash of insight will solve the puzzle, and the correct answer is never revealed. Hints are available, but only with a substantial penalty in points. Every factor influences the score: correct answer, correct spelling, and time used to solve each 20 second puzzle.

And ImageQuest requires the use of both halves of the brain: the right side for recognition and categorization, and the left for word selection and spelling. Featuring 30 levels of play and over 8000 color photos, GeeThree is committed to continually expanding its library of puzzles, and has extended an invitation to would-be pictonymologists to contact the company.

Feature Highlights:
* One of the most creative puzzle games available for the iPhone OS
* Solve pictonym puzzles – what word links together all the pictures in a group
* Standard Mode – single player
* Tournament Mode – multiple, on-line players
* 30 levels of play
* Over 8,000 full-color photographs

Dallas, Texas – Big in Japan, a Dallas-based idea factory for mobile applications, today announced that it has acquired Snappr, a pioneer in mobile barcode scanning and creator of the first iPhone application capable of scanning 2D barcodes. The company will incorporate Snappr’s technology into ShopSavvy, the leading comparison shopping app for Android and iPhone users.

"Snappr took the concept and technology of two-dimensional QR Codes and packaged them into an easy to use Web service and mobile application," said Alexander Muse, co-founder of Big in Japan. "We are busily working to integrate their technology into ShopSavvy as we expand the functionality and value of the application for both users and retailers."

Founded in 2007 by Philip Stehlik in San Francisco, Snappr introduced a platform to easily create, manage and access mobile content – and then to promote this content in new ways. Users of Snappr could create mobile content with a couple of clicks and promote it via QR Codes through printouts, t-shirts and other apparel, and on social networks like Facebook.

QR Codes, a Japanese technology, can store far more information than standard 1D barcodes, which make them ideal for marketing and advertising use. Through Google’s Favorite Places program as well as Big in Japan’s Scan with ShopSavvy program and other initiatives, awareness and use of QR Codes by marketers and consumers is on the rise.

"Now that millions of mobile phone users worldwide are equipped with 2D-barcode-capable readers like ShopSavvy, the sky’s the limit for QR codes," Muse said. "We are actively working to drive consumer awareness and to work with retailers to leverage this technology in creative ways."

Stehlik, founder and CEO of Snappr, will join Big in Japan’s board of advisors. Prior to founding Snappr, he acted as senior developer and project lead at ReadSoft US, where he implemented ReadSoft’s SAP solutions at major U.S. corporations like Apple or Boehringer Ingelheim. Stehlik began his career at Ebydos AG in Frankfurt, Germany, where he was responsible for major product implementations at companies like John Deere, REHAU and Schneider Electric.

Ranking as one of the most popular apps on Android phones since its launch in September 2008, ShopSavvy became available on the iPhone in November 2009. ShopSavvy enables users to comparison shop on the go for more than 20 million products at more than 20,000 retailers worldwide, simply by scanning the product’s barcode using the phone’s built-in camera. Using the barcode information, ShopSavvy searches the Web for the best prices on the product, displaying the lowest prices online as well as at nearby brick-and-mortar retailers. ShopSavvy looks up product reviews to further assist with purchase decisions.

The Tilt Timer allows the player to put themselves on tilt for a set amount of time and when the timer runs out, the player is no longer on tilt.

The Tilt Timer was created by Eric Duchin, although he contributes its success to poker pros Annie Duke and Rafe Furst for their invaluable input and help on the project. Eric spoke about Rafe’s and Annie’s contribution to the Tilt Timer, "Rafe’s suggestion to make it an iPhone application was brilliant and Annie was so inspiring and friendly I wanted to help her charity immediately!" Eric hopes to raise at least $25,000 for the charity and everyone can follow the progress on the Tilt Timer website.

Bacon Bear Productions today released Mr. Moneybags 1.0.3, a beautiful iPhone/iPod touch application designed to not only track personal IOUs but aid users in quickly collecting on those debts later. Mr. Moneybags features the unique "Shame On Facebook" mechanism to publicly shame friends who need a little encouragement in paying back their IOUs swiftly. In addition, Mr. Moneybags features "Contexts" to categorize IOUs and "Consolidation" to facilitate painless payback of multiple IOUs at once.

"Mr. Moneybags was designed to make the mundane task of entering IOUs easy and the collection part fun," said Jeff Lee, Bacon Bear’s CEO. "Thanks to full address book integration and a customizable ‘favorite people’ list, IOU entry is a snap. Collecting on those IOUs is just as easy. A single tap can send a gentle reminder email or, for those who need a bit more encouragement, post a ‘Shame’ to someones Facebook page."

Along with standard features such as foreign currency support and "tip and split" calculations, Mr. Moneybags adds two additional time saving features to the mix: Contexts and Consolidation.

A context represents a grouping of debts that are associated with a preferred currency and a "favorites" list of people. For example a "Trip To Mexico" context may have a preferred currency of "Peso" and be associated with a list of trip attendees. When entering a new IOU in this context, Mr. Moneybags will automatically use the preferred currency and suggest people based on the context’s "favorites" list. When the trip is over, a summary of IOUs may be emailed to all attendees or a consolidation can take place to facilitate simple payback.

Consolidation is Mr. Moneybags’ innovative method of streamlining complex IOU payback. A simple 4 person trip has 16 payer/payee combinations not including split permutations, so even a small trip can become complicated quickly. With one tap of the consolidation button, Mr. Moneybags calculates a system in which all attendees who owe money pay a single "consolidation master". That master then pays back all those who are owed money. This consolidation reduces the number of transactions required to settle multiple IOUs and makes the debt settling process easier for all.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mr. Moneybags is available now worldwide on the iTunes App Store for $0.99 (US) and as a free ad supported download.

Limited Securities has released iCurrency Plus 1.0.1 for iPhone and iPod Touch users. The application tracks and evaluates currency exchange rates, as well as provides trends, graphs and a currency conversion calculator. iCurrency Plus is the only app on the market that can send push notifications of changes in currency rates. Changes in currencies, whether domestic or foreign, can affect profit, as well as affordability. It is the perfect example of Simplicity to the extreme.

What do travelers, Forex and precious metal traders all have in common? Exchange rates. Changes in currencies, whether domestic or foreign, can affect profit, as well as affordability. A wise person watches for the best opportunity before purchasing or selling money or foreign goods, to avoid paying more than necessary.

All of that just makes sense but it can get complicated and labor intensive to monitor daily exchange activity and trends. If that’s your full time job, fine. Otherwise, it is a daunting task for people to locate and keep tabs on currency for two different countries. Then of course, the figures need to be compared and converted.

The developers at Limited Securities have created a much simpler solution. It’s called iCurrency Plus. The application is downloaded to a user’s iPhone or iPod Touch, where it sets to work taking care of all the details. The easy, intuitive interface makes operation a snap, while the full list of features offers true flexibility.

While all of these functions are great, there is one that stands out from the rest. It is the optional push notification feature. iCurrency Plus is the only application offering this capability, which is indispensable to anyone who is keeping a close eye on exchange rates. Users can be notified of rate variances, predetermined by the user’s choice of percentage spreads.

A user can find out what a foreign object costs in their native currency before deciding if they want to make the purchase, thanks to the handy currency converter in this app. It’s a feature that appeals to business and vacation travelers, alike. Some think of it as an interpreter, only for money rather than language.

Trends are important to a lot of people and this app provides them, along with colorful charts for quick reference. Users get to select the time period that they want to see, whether daily, weekly, monthly or even quarterly. Developers are planning to add the option of seeing yearly trends in the very near future.

This application should prove to be a winner, not just because it saves time, work and money but also because it is so versatile and easy to use. Most currency apps can compare the US dollar with other currencies. iCurrency Plus can compare units from any of the ninety (and counting) currencies from over one hundred countries.

Limited Securities developers encourage users to find iCurrency Plus on sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Wordpress, where they offer free updates and the latest news. Simplicity to the extreme. It’s a beautiful turn of phrase that describes this application perfectly.

* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later

Concrete Software, Inc.®, a leader in innovative mobile content, announced today the release of Nintaii 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch to be sold in the iTunes App Store. Nintaii 2, the follow-up to the popular game Nintaii, is a strategic puzzle game that includes 100 brand new levels with new features and obstacles for enjoyable and challenging game play.

The success and rave reviews from the original game Nintaii, are sure to make Nintaii 2 a hit game as well. The Japanese term “nintaii” means “patience, perseverance, or endurance.” Both games encourage players to use all three to complete the ever increasing difficulty and complexity of the 100 levels. Nintaii 2 keeps the unique concept of rolling a block through a maze of tiles and dropping it into the end destination to complete a level- but new twists were added including ghost tiles, glass tiles, and springs.

One of the most notable additions to Nintaii 2 is the integration of OpenFeint, the social media component of gaming. Players can earn points by completing achievements and winning challenges. This adds an element of competition, as friends can challenge one another, while still building a community for Nintaii players to share tips and hints, give feedback to the developers, and view multiple leader boards.
