Nashville, TN – Announcing that Tisha Morris, the developer of Feng Shui Bagua Map, has released a program for users interested in an easier way to improve the flow of their lives. The application is based on westernized Feng Shui, providing a bagua map, along with easy to use and follow instructions for optimizing the energy in a person’s home or office.

The app was created by author, life coach and interior designer, Tisha Morris. "As a Feng Shui consultant and iPhone lover, I noticed that there were no good Feng Shui apps available. So, I decided to create my own," explains Morris. In designing the app, she had a few criteria that had to be met, "It had to be simple, functional and informational enough for anyone to use."

Ease of use is one of the major attractions for users. The art of feng shui is ancient and can involve compasses and very complicated instructions. Morris adapted the more popular and widely used westernized method for creating the Feng Shui Bagua Map, so people with little or no knowledge of feng shui can still achieve the effects of clearing and improving the energy in their living and work spaces.

Naturally, the application comes equipped with a bagua map. Users can overlay onto that map, existing pictures from their phone’s photo library or snap a new one of their room or floor plan. As it is the westernized method being used, the bagua map lines up with the main door of a room or building, depending on what is being worked on.

Once the photo is in place, a user can instantly see the nine sections of their home or office. Each of those nine squares represents a different life aspect. Users can address their areas of wealth, love and relationships, career, family and creativity, travel and helpful people, health, fame and reputation, self knowledge. These areas surround the all important centre, which influences the rest of the areas.

To find out how to optimize, balance and harmonize a particular space, a user merely has to tap on the square that corresponds with the area they want to enhance. All the necessary instruction is revealed so that a user can begin immediately.

Morris has ensured a smooth, painless experience by including some important features and functions in her application, like allowing users to save and create as many feng shui maps as they want and by providing in-depth information about each sector of the map. It’s like having a coach present to explain and guide users through the feng shui process for each area of life.

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

Stanislav Kalishenko Comp. has released Web Jokes 1.1 for iPhone and iPod touch devices. Do you like bash? Or do you prefer the jokes and anecdotes than news or something like that? Then the Web Jokes is likely for you. Web Jokes is a simple and convenient RSS reader of some popular feeds with jokes that can fill your leisure time. It features a simple interface, without frills, convenient navigation from joke to joke, and a flexible list of RSS feeds.

"What a …?" – Some might say. "The App Store is full of readers." And perhaps you’re right, but I’ll try to highlight the benefits of this application.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple interface, without frills
* Convenient navigation from joke to joke
* The flexible list of RSS feeds
* sending of favourite joke via email, SMS, Twitter, copying to the clipboard
* two-language interface (English and Russian)

Let’s take a look at these features. First of all, a simple interface. All is simple: the navigation buttons at the bottom and the text of a joke. And there are not a list of jokes. They follow one by one on different screens and don’t mix with each other.

Secondly, quite convenient navigation. There is a paging of a joke by joke (just swipe your finger from right to left), navigation buttons – they become useful when the text does not fit in screen and there is a vertical scrolling, which does not allow flipping. In addition, if the hands dressed in gloves (or, for example, the nails do not allow flipping), then there "shake me" gesture will come to help, i.e. shaking the phone will take you to the next page. Just look, do not overdo it, because author is not responsible for broken iPhones .

Thirdly, the flexible list of RSS feeds. What does this mean? By default, is added a number of feeds (for example, jokes from bash.org and others). But this list can be changed. You can add your favourite RSS-feed and disable or remove uninteresting.

Moreover, there is the standard functionality for this kind of applications – the ability to send favourite joke on email, SMS, to copy to the clipboard for insertion into the native "Notes" or any other application, and sending the text of the joke to your blog in Twitter. And do not look for special menu items to do it. It is very simple. Hold your finger a couple of seconds and choose one or another way of sending in the appeared popup.

And finally, another feature. If you speak Russian you will find it useful. There is currently implemented support of two languages: English and Russian. And from this option depends on a list of RSS feeds, which to download jokes. So if you are Russian-speaking man you will load the last jokes from bash.org.ru or other feeds. If you are interested in American or British humor, then choose English as the language interface.

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

Fort Lauderdale, Florida – kode80 LLC today is pleased to announce the release of HoloToy 1.01, the first update to its remarkable 3D technology app for iPhone and iPod touch just 7 days after launching last week. This update introduces a remote controlled, user customizable robot that exists inside the virtual 3D space created by the HoloToy.

The hologram-like HoloToy technology is the work of one man, Ben Hopkins, inspired by a perspective trick that can be dated back to the 15th century. HoloToy works by distorting the 3D scenes displayed on screen in a way our brains would expect based on the current angle of the device, doing this in real time presents a believable 3D scene that appears to extend right into the device itself.

Recent Hollywood blockbuster’s have shown that 3D is truly the next big thing in the entertainment industry; with TV manufacturers announcing their 3D capable sets at a price not dissimilar to those movie’s budgets it is interesting to see alternative 3D solutions available to consumers right now through unaltered, off the shelf devices.

"When I began working on HoloToy I was skeptical as to whether the results would be believable but after I had the initial prototype up and running I knew this was something I wanted to explore more," said Ben Hopkins, founder of Fort Lauderdale, Florida based kode80 LLC. "HoloToy really is a blank canvas on which I can build anything from sculptures to games to interactive stories, it just so happens that the canvas is in 3D. The beauty of digital distribution is that I can create and push these explorations out to users on a weekly basis taking suggestions of what they’d like to see inside the HoloToy next."

HoloToy has been strongly received around the world with a lot of interest coming from the interactive industries. Ben said "the response to HoloToy has blown me away, I’ve had a lot of inquiries into the tech since it launched 7 days ago, it really seems to have sparked peoples imagination."

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

Pricing and Availability:
HoloToy 1.01 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

Dare to discover the secrets, thoughts, philosophies, values, and hidden power of the world’s most brilliant and successful people. Or laugh at one of the over 1,000 hilarious quotes included. It has it all.

"One of the difficulties with most quote apps," said Brooks Halladay, lead developer of Kimchi Studios, "is digging through the sheer volume of quotes to uncover the absolute best or most relevant. That’s where this app excels. Not only does it have a powerful search engine, but quotes are accessible through 160+ topics or by categories of author types such as actor, director, president, athlete, musician, comedian, etc."

The standout feature that no other quote app has is the ability to quickly see what quotes and authors are most-viewed, trending, and top-rated across ALL USERS OF THE APP in real-time. "Imagine trying to dig through YouTube without seeing what videos are trending, most-viewed, or best rated? Being able to leverage the power of the user is everything on the internet and it’s everything for next generation apps like this."

Sample Quotes:
* "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing." – Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)

San Francisco, CA – Wonder Warp Software, makers of Mac and iPhone productivity app ShoveBox, today announced the immediate availability of Etude 1.0, a new iPhone and iPod touch application for learning music on the piano. Etude combines traditional sheet music with an on-screen keyboard, whose keys light up to reveal which notes are being played, as well as a MIDI synthesizer that simultaneously plays the piece aloud.

"Our goal was to significantly improve the way musicians discover and learn to play sheet music," stated Dan Grover, founder of Wonder Warp Software. "The iPhone, and soon the iPad, make this possible. Unlike other music apps, Etude let’s the user choose from a large catalog of songs, hear and see how the song should be played, and of course view a version of the score created just for their device."

Etude ships with 5 songs loaded, and an in-app "store" with over 200 free songs. New songs are being added weekly. Wonder Warp Software is actively working with music publishers to vastly expand the music catalog. The store currently features songs ranging from Moonlight Sonata, to nursery rhymes like The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

While learning a piece of music may be difficult at its original speed, built into Etude is a music settings panel, which controls the playback speed, auto-scrolling, and showing or hiding the keyboard on-screen. Etude directly integrates with social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, making the music available to all of your friends to listen to.

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

ScavoMed today released Pocket Therapy 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch users. It is the only application available that gives very specific therapeutic routines for the fifteen most common injuries. The Pocket Therapy app is like having a physical therapist in your iPhone, providing injury specific information, advice and exercises, complete with photo and video demonstrations. The included photos and video demonstrations serve to help patients understand and safely follow the treatment steps.

Pocket Therapy was developed to answer a growing need. "The inspiration for this app came from patients of mine who were seeking home physical therapy. Many didn’t have accepted insurance or the time to be seen by a physical therapist," explained Ross Scavo, certified athletic trainer and owner of ScavoMed. He designed the application to also provide answers to an array of common questions that came up during patient visits.

To date, Pocket Therapy is the only app available that offers very specific therapeutic routines for fifteen of the most common injuries, including achilles tendonitis, ankle sprain, calf strain, epicondylitis, groin strain, hamstring strain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, shin splints, shoulder impingement, TMJ, rotator cuff strain, knee pain, low back pain, and neck pain.

Each injury listing contains basic information and advice to inform and guide sufferers to a more comfortable life. All of the recommendations are specific for each injury, letting users know about whether or not to take an over-the-counter medication, which types of massage may help and if they should apply heat or not. This is all very practical and necessary to help users achieve maximum success with the exercise portion of the program.

The feeling of having a physical therapist in a device hits home with the strengthening and stretching exercises, which are meant to help users overcome pain and regain flexibility. Scavo has included photos and video demonstrations to help patients understand and safely follow the treatment steps. Thanks to Scavo’s background in athletic training, the therapeutic routines are professionally based and users can trust the source.

Pocket Therapy Features:
* Physical therapy instructions for 15 most common injuries
* Injury information
* Strengthening and/or stretching exercises
* Pictures of each pose for exercises
* Video demonstration
* Advice about when to use heat treatment, when to use certain types of massage and over-the-counter medication to take
* App was created by a Certified Athletic Trainer

To assist in future, ScavoMed is including one of their previous apps, R.I.C.E., which is a quick, first-aid reference manual for a wide variety of common injuries. For anyone in need of physical therapy for one of the listed conditions, Pocket Therapy may be the perfect answer. It’s low cost, private, convenient and well worth checking out.

* iPhone 3GS and iPod touch

iPhoneMOFO has released Bubble War 1.1, an easy-to-play RTS game on iPhone and iPod touch. Players need a strategic mind and swift fingers to excel at this game. Your goal is to capture all the red bubbles. To win the war, you need to grow and strategically deploy your bubble forces and eliminate enemy bubbles. Green bubbles are your forces, red bubbles are your enemies, and white bubbles are neutral ones which can be captured by green or red bubbles.

At the beginning of this game, you can see bubbles in three colors: red, green, and white. Green bubbles are your forces, red bubbles are your enemies, and white bubbles are neutral ones which can be captured by green or red bubbles. Your goal is to capture all the red bubbles. Tap on your green bubbles to select it, and then tap the red bubbles to send your troops there. It may take several attack waves to capture the enemy bubbles. You send a half of available troops with every waves. The other half stays to defend the base.

You can send an attack wave from multiple bubbles. Simply drag your finger across the screen to select both bubbles, then select the target to attack. In this case, you can capture more forces and increase your attach power. Sometimes it is better to capture a neutral bubble before attacking your component. Send your troops to white bubble. You may find the neutral bubble’s number is constant. But your green bubble and enemy’s red bubble are both growing their forces every second until reaching their stations limit. Large bubbles station more troops and produce troops faster.

To win the war, you need to grow and strategically deploy your bubble forces and eliminate enemy bubbles. If you like Risk, this game is for you. Bubble War is pretty fun. You can buy it for only $1.99 on App store. More information is available at iPhonemofo.net.

apfelbaumGROUP UG today released TIOnixie – Alarm Clock – Stop Watch – Timer 1.1.1 for iPhone and iPod touch users. This three-in-one application has added even more functions to its retro Nixie tube timekeeping program. Now, in addition to the alarm, stop watch and timer, developers have included a flashlight, icon dimming and connection to a user’s iPod library. The clock can show the time in a twelve or twenty-four hour format with both modes displaying the hour, minute and seconds.

Many fans of the Nixie tube display will remember its warm glow of numbers and funky look. TIOnixie has replicated that feel and style in the app’s retro display. The clock itself can show the time in a twelve or twenty-four hour format with both modes displaying the hour, minute and seconds. The date also appears, located below the time.

Why did developers choose a Nixie design? According to CEO, Thomas Huebner, "We are just fans of the starting era of digital technologies. When the app store opened and the first nixie clocks came, we were ashamed by the poor design of them. For us – and especially me as a designer – it was too obvious what they did wrong. So, there wasn´t really an option to do a nice Nixie clock, more or less it was something we had to do."

To give TIOnixie its authentic appearance, Huebner created the display from pictures of tubes made behind the Iron Curtain in the sixties. The app’s numbers have the warm glow reminiscent of that time era, while providing modern precision timekeeping. apfelbaumGROUP has been successful in coming up with the perfect Nixie design and function. The app has earned a place in the Top Ten of it’s category in Germany and has been featured by Apple as ‘New and Noteworthy’ in Germany and Austria. They could have let the TIOnixie app stand without improving it but chose to add features and value for their users.

In addition to the clock, alarm with three different sound options, timer and stop watch, the application now offers a flashlight that is turned on and off by shaking the device, icon dimming of the screen and the ability to choose songs from the iPod library for use as alarm sounds. The app’s interface is attractive and easy to use with swipe or tap touch controls. Changing the time or starting and stopping any of the functions is a fast and simple matter.

TIOnixie – Alarm Clock – Stop Watch – Timer is like the Swiss Army Knife of clock apps but its numerous features are just useful icing on the cake. The true Nixie tube look is reason enough for users to download the app.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3G and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later for all features
* 1.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TIOnixie – Alarm Clock – Stop Watch – Timer 1.1.1 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Spurrier Group today released eyeBuy Visual Search 1.5 for iPhone and iPod touch users looking for price deals. The application offers a myriad of local shopping search engine results, which can be obtained with barcode scans, photos or used manually to find the best online deals for specific products. A combination of learned image recognition and a speedy performance makes eyeBuy Visual Search a fast, easy resource for bargain hunters.

Whereas finding the prices on products used to involve reading flyers and driving from store to store, the best deals on the web can now be located simply and quickly by using the eyeBuy Visual Search app. Users can scan the UPC barcode of a product or snap a photo of it. eyeBuy Visual Search software uses that code or picture to search through several shopping search engines to return results that are local to the user’s region. In other words, a search engine like Amazon would only search the U.S. site if the user is located there.

Currently, there are seven search engines being used, with more being added shortly:
* Google Products
* Yahoo! Shopping
* Bing Shopping
* Kelkoo
* Amazon
* Pricegrabber
* Craigslist local
* More search engines coming

This application features the newest technology being employed – learned recognition, content-based image retrieval. That means that the app learns, based on the images that are used. The more times an image is used for searching, the finer the search results become for that product.

Almost anything can be searched for by UPC code or photo. Most common items are CD’s, DVD’s, records and household items. With items like computer peripherals, grocery items, and household goods, the learned recognition comes into play. Once several people scan the same item for searching, the app will realize what it is and know where to look for it.

While eyeBuy Visual Search works for both the iPhone and iPod touch devices, there are some models of iPod touch that do not have a built-in camera. In that case, users are still able to take advantage of what the app has to offer, they just do their searches manually.

Although this application presents the latest, easiest, fastest shopping searches available, upcoming releases to add even greater speed and functionality are in the works. One of the new features will allow users to purchase the deals they find from within the app and have the product delivered to their door. Is eyeBuy Visual Search changing the way people shop? Undoubtedly and for the better. People can save time, work and money without having to leave their devices. Shopping doesn’t get much easier than that.

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

eyeBuy Visual Search 1.5 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
