All-in YOGA: 300 Poses & Yoga Classes – ARAWELLA CORPORATION

Everyday we do our best to tame the stress that plagues us from our work, relationships, and other aspects of our life. But for most of us, it is not just a challenge, but a genuine struggle. When burdened with anxiety and stress, we tend to blame, withdraw, obsess, and distract ourselves. Curing this vicious cycle is very easy if you practice yoga.

All-In Yoga app, simply installed on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad, will not only provide you with a variety of great yoga workouts and inspiring yoga music, but will also give you effective, daily tips to improve your physical and emotional health and set yourself free from stress.

Yoga Workouts typically combine physical exercises and breathing techniques, which might seem simple at first glance. But the benefit from them is achieved only when you do them properly. That is why all the 300 workouts presented in the app are accompanied with detailed and clear audio, photo and video instructions, and are dedicated to different goals (health, body shape, etc.) to make your yoga practice effective. Another fun feature in the app is that you can create either a workout or an asana yourself and share it with your friends!

With the help of over 30 breathing exercises in the app for each level (from beginner to guru), you can master the art of navigating through stress very easily. The right breathing usually will effectively control your mood and inner condition to a large degree, so you can withstand any of life’s adversities with a decent, restrained manner, and not worry about hurting your nerves and to those around you.

The stuff you will certainly love in the app is some extra-premium content and options for your personal improvement and success in yoga: a colorful calendar with motivational quotes, inspiring tracks for relaxation and practicing, post-workout resting periods, and much more!

You can help yourself to embody grace under pressure and enjoy life – just try it!

MultiTap Numeric Keyboard

MultiTap Text – Norway Distribution

Multitap just updated their app and have made significant improvements to the text editor. Last time we reviewed the app we thought it was cool. It defintiely has some great features but the T9 smart text editor was a fail. This time around they have greatly improved the app and we are happy to announce that this time they have got it going on!

We totally recommend this app for a quick kickass texting solution.

If you miss the old style numeric keypads then this app is for you. The primary use of the app is to speed up your typing ability as the app captures the tap motion of the numeric pads exceptionally well and adds a few features that are easily accessible through its popup menu.

You can use the app to create messages then send via text or email through your device as the app syncs with your contacts to make the process super simple.T9 mode is sweet but still has

My favorite feature of course is the T9 which for those of you that do not know this terminology is the function that auto fills your words as you type. I know I know, the devices built in QWERTY keyboard has an auto fill function as well but the Multi Tap feature makes it a bit easier to flip through the choices of words you want filled in.

Other cool features

Texting – This app makes it blazingly fast to text your peeps… especially with the new and improved version
Caplocks – Fulltime or tap as you go
Traditional Numeric Keypad – Like dialing a phone instead of the across the top of the QWERTY pad which I find to be a bit of nuisance.

here are some free app codes. remember to thank the developers by posting feedback on their iTunes page it really helps them out

Stone Packer Pro Addictive Gameplay

jmcclain0129 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:16:09 +0000

StonePacker – Gadnell & Associates

It took me a while to understand the concept behind StonePacker Pro. With an innovative system of gameplay, it was refreshing to try out this game. Think Tetris, but on a much harder scale.

In StonePacker Pro, players have to well, pack stones as per the game title suggests. Players start off each level with a certain amount of stones (They appear to be more of metallic blocks), where they have to arrange them through swiping in various directions so as to compress them and get rid of any gaps between them. However, at different intervals of the game, more stones will drop from the top of the screen thus making the game harder. This is just like the Tetris series, except that you have to control more than one game piece at a time.

A test of both your wits and reflexes, StonePacker Pro will not only have you thinking strategically on where to move the blocks but also think fast so as to clear the incoming rounds as quickly as you can. The game ends when you can no longer make any further moves, a brain teaser of sorts.

While StonePacker Pro lacks in the aesthetics department, it more than makes up for it with addictive gameplay. Everything is kept to a bare minimum, with no distracting animations graphics to distract players from their game.

StonePacker Pro deserves much credit for treading on unchartered waters. For $0.99, this is one game that is definitely recommended to be downloaded.

Pros:

• Innovative and extremely addictive gameplay system.

• Simplistic design.
• Easy to learn (but difficult to master)
Cons:
• Not much of eye candy.

Rating: 5/5

Freaky Jump App Review ricochets off the doodle jump bounce game

jmcclain0129 — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:53:31 +0000

Freaky Jump

Yet another app riding on the success of Doodle Jump’s bouncing game system, Freaky Jump injects some new concepts that hardly come across as creative but breathes fresh life into the genre.

Screen SHot | Game Action | Freaky Jump

To start off, Freaky Jump follows the same concept of bouncing off platforms and advancing to the top. However, the difference lies in the fact that Freaky Jump does not consist of one infinitely long level where your objective is to get a high score. Instead, you are required to reach a certain height before moving on to the next level. In short, stages and levels replace a free jump mode.

Screen Shot | Freaky Jump | Game Action

Add-ons such as propeller caps and rockets are also present in Freaky Jump. However, a magnet is also available to further boost high scores. Springs found in Doodle Jump and other similar games can also be found in Freaky Jump, giving a slight boost to gamers. However, unlike in Doodle Jump, players are unable to shoot projectiles in Freaky Jump.

Screen Shot | Game Play

Freaky Jump requires players to complete all the stages in one “world” before moving on to the next. While the concept of levels and stages in a traditionally open-mode genre is rather fresh, it soon becomes stale for levels are virtually identical to each other with the obvious reshuffling of tile placements being what sets them apart. With the completion of each level, stars are given based on the points accumulated, but they hardly do anything to bolster game progress.

Achievements are also available for fanatics, but that is hardly anything to fuss or rave about. It is insignificant as it does not contribute much to actual game play.

Pros:

Level system instead of infinite mode.
Slightly different from run of the mill jumping games.

Cons:

Levels are not very varied. Only background and slight platform changes.
Not much incentive to continue playing the game (e.g. unlockable content)

Aniversia App Review pits animals against aliens to save the planet.

jmcclain0129 — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:04:31 +0000

In Aniversia by Trinaum, you take control of animals that are rendered in a very cute and cuddly style. Do not be deceived though, for these animals are to be used in an all out battle between alien invaders that threaten the safety of the planet. The animals appear to be a cross between a hedgehog’s rear and a random animal’s head. Examples include a dog, a bull, and a porcupine.

Screen Shot | Landing Page

It takes awhile to understand what this app is all about. With an extremely vague tutorial that only explains the controls, it was quite a struggle to comprehend the app. No explanation was given on the objective(s) of the stages and everything was rather confusing.

ScreenShot | In App Tutorial Screens

In the game, your objective is to take out the enemies scattered across the level map. You may use the surrounding objects to your advantage, such as smashing through debris or mounting cannons to assault your rivals. Items scattered around respond well to impact with a great physics mechanism. You can smash, crush, or simply push the crates, tires and other things aside. In each level, you are given control of two animals that you can toggle between with the touch of a button. Use them to your advantage and take the opposition out.

Screen SHot | Game Action

The game controls are simple but yet difficult to master. A tiny touchpad allows for movement, while a button above it allows you to toggle between characters. Two buttons on the right side allow for attacks and blocks. However, it is hardly responsive as attacks to awhile before they responded to taps and the movement button was too small to slide around with.

Screen Shot | Game Action | On The Hunt

With the cutesy graphics and novel game play design, Aniversia appeals to children but not older players. Things like graphics can be improved upon as some stages seemed to be more of an eyesore. A better tutorial would be good too. The game shows potential but there is much to improve on.

Pros:

Cute graphics.
Unique game-play system.
Cool comics style introduction.
Physics mechanism for interacting with surroundings.

Cons:

Color scheme.
Lack of a good tutorial.
Not very responsive controls.

uFall

Ryan Johnson — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:28:20 +0000

Doodle Jump in reverse is probably the best way to describe uFall. It’s got a doodle theme, similar looking characters, lots of moving platforms, and not so cool energy zapping bad guys. My initial reaction when I first played this game was that there’s nothing surprising about it. It seemed a little too much like Doodle Jump for my taste. However, after playing it for a while it actually began to grow on me. I noticed more and more subtle differences between the two that allowed me to lower my guard a bit and start enjoying it. Don’t get me wrong, most of the game is a complete rip off of Doodle Jump, but it seems to offer enough differences to make the game pretty fun.

Created by Carlo Lanzotti, uFall has the look and feel of a single level endless game, however it does offer multiple levels. If you fall long enough and reach a goal, you transition to a new level that offers an even more difficult free falling experience. The entire object of the game is to fall further than you’ve fallen before. As you’d expect there’s lots of things trying their best to prevent this from happening. The most prominent of which is the collapsing ceiling of jagged glass that forever stalks you downward, shredding you to pieces with the slightest touch. When this sinister killer is near you’ll know because an eerie and scary sound persists until you’re a safe distance away.

There are also lots of other obstacles that make your journey increasingly more difficult. As with Doodle Jump, the most challenging part of the journey is navigating the plethora of platforms and avoiding monsters. The variety of platforms in this game can be both helpful and deadly. Falling platforms help you skip ahead but can also lead you straight to monsters. Spring loaded platforms often hold energy replenishing goodies, but bounce you upward as a trade off. Essentially, when you make contact with anything other than platforms and goodies you lose some energy and get bounced upward. Early on in the game being bounced upward isn’t particularly detrimental, but as the number of platforms and monsters increase, the slightest bounce upward can set you back just enough for the jagged glass ceiling of death to smash you.

As with Doodle Jump the goodies sprinkled throughout the game help you stay alive and provide much needed skip aheads. Fruits and coffee provide you with energy replenishing goodness. Often times these nutritious goodies are snuggled tightly against monsters so if you’re to redeem them you need to do it with utmost precision. There are magic balloon and monster ball bonuses that give you special powers allowing you to temporarily decend downward without restriction. Clocks are also helpful so make sure to grab as many of those as you can. Clocks temporarily freeze the ceiling of death, buying you extra time to slip further and further away.

Overall uFall is pretty fun game. As mentioned, much of it is a clone of Doodle Jump, just reversed, so inherently that’s going to have an impact on it’s overall rating. The graphics are pretty good, the characters are decent, but again, it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. I’d say the game-play takes a little getting used to, but the longer I played it the more I enjoyed it. It’s definitely a good value for it’s $0.99 price point, and if you’re a fan of Doodle Jump you’ll probably enjoy the reverse twist it provides.

Pros:

Well put together and quite addictive
Quick and sporadic game-play; great time waster
Decent value for the price

Cons:

Too much like Doodle Jump (just in reverse)
Characters and theme are not unique (wish they were)
No global leaderboard

Version Reviewed: 1.1.2

Requirements: iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad; iPhone OS 3.1 or later

Jumbled

Ryan Johnson — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:39:08 +0000

Here’s a fast paced and fun game that’ll have you translating and matching jumbled words in no time (dljuem = jumbled = mixed). Jumbled is a word game that scrambles up regular every day words and tests your ability to correctly decipher them and match them up with a word that it most closely resembles. It sounds pretty simple, but as you progress you’ll see things can get hairy quickly. Words keep getting longer, time continues to slip away, the pressure of every decision gets greater, guessing is risky because incorrect answers take lives, and before you know it your brain is scrambled. Do you have what it takes to conquer Jumbled?

Created by DREWSE, Jumbled measures your ability to think clearly and logically under pressure. Big-time scores can only come from big-time players. The likelihood that you play the game often enough to memorize every word combination is slim. That’s because there’s over 100,000,000 possible word scrambling combinations within the game. SAY WHAT!

Jumbled caters to all levels of players by offering three levels of difficulty (easy, medium, hard). I can say first hand that easy mode has the tendency to lull you into the sense of feeling slightly genius before it quickly slaps you in the face! I cruised through the first dozen or so jumbled words thinking I was unstoppable. Once I reached the 100,000 points level I was quickly put into my place. Out of nowhere I found myself staring at words longer, the optional in game hints that display the first two letters of the word after half of the time has passed became a frequent occurrence, my brain started to go blank, and my streak of correctly answered questions quickly turned into a downward spiraling guess fest. Before I knew it I’d burned through all five of my lives!

Jumbled is best described as fun under pressure. After several attempts I became more and more comfortable with the pace and pressures of the game which helps tremendously. The faster you answer questions correctly the more points you earn and the further up the global leaderboard you climb. The games rewards you with up to 20 achievement awards if you’re kicking but, and the opportunity to compare your high scores with the rest of the Jumbled playing community provides the fuel to keep you playing time and time again.

On thing I can say for sure, Jumbled is definitely a fun and challenging game that players of all ages can enjoy. If you’re the type of person that loves time killing apps and games, and loves things like crossword puzzles, Sudoku, etc., then you’re going to absolutely love Jumbled. At first glance it’s graphics, effects, interface, and imagery aren’t very impressive, but for what lacks in looks it makes up for with fun factor. It faced paced and addictive quality will likely have you turning to it time and time again whenever you’re looking to kill some time.

Pros:

Fast paced, addictive
Offers hours upon hours of game-play (100,000,000 possible word combinations)
Great for time killing and people of all ages

Cons:

Graphics, menus, and imagery are pretty basic, not mind blowing by any means
Gets a bit monotonous if you play it too many times in a row

Cubes 3D Revolution

Ryan Johnson — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:15:09 +0000

If you’re a fan of Match 3 games and puzzle games then you’ve got to check out Cubes 3D Revolution! This game is well put together, has unique 3D effects, colorful graphics, and fast paced addictive game-play.

Created by Simiotica, Cubes 3D Revolution serves up a 3D floating grid with 49 five sided cubes, each side with it’s own color. Your job is to turn over the color that creates a three cube (or more) color match. All matching cubes then dissolve, the grid adjusts, and new cubes arrive to fill in the gaps. Working against the clock you can add back time by uncovering matches. The deeper in the game you go, the trickier it is to uncover new matches, putting a premium on being efficient. If you don’t uncover new matches quickly you’re a goner.

In addition to the standard match 3 effects that we’ve come to expect from these types of games (dissolving cubes, score and time adjustment, points and awards, multi-match combos, etc.), Cubes 3D Revolution adds an interactive twist. Because of the 3D nature of the game, the colored cubes float above the deep space themed background. Instead of having to turn over every side of every cube to see what colors they consist of you can simply tilt your device to expose. Tilt up, down, left, right, and at any angle to get a sneak peak of the colors on each side of the cubes. When you find one that’s a perfect match just slide your finger over the cube in the direction that uncovers a match and the game takes care of the rest.

For those that are easily stumped, Cubes 3D Revolution offers a hint button that you can turn to when you’re in a pinch. It lights up a cube that’s a certain match so you can get yourself out of a jam. I certainly wouldn’t make a habit out of using it, but as you get deeper in the game it’s pretty much a certainty that you’ll need it from time-to-time.

Earlier I mentioned that Cubes 3D Revolution is well put together. So what did I mean by that. Well, every menu, the transition from page to page and screen to screen, the music, the colors and graphics, the effects and interaction within the game, all of it is just perfect. The second you open the app the layout, the options, the location of the buttons, they all just make sense. It’s clean, crisp, and couldn’t be better.

Overall I loved this app. There’s something about apps that are well built from cover to cover. I fully recommend this game to anyone that enjoys puzzle and matching games, brain teasers, etc. It’s 100% worth the download.

Pros:

Well designed from cover-to-cover
Game-play is beautiful and addictive
Plus+ global leaderboard

Cons:

None
