On July 28, 2011, In App News, App Store Apps, Apps, iPad, ipad apps, iPhone, iPhone Apps, News, skyfire videoq, by Leanna Lofte

Skyfire Labs have released their new iPhone and iPad app, Skyfire VideoQ, as a method of watching flash videos.

Skyfire VideoQ™ is a new kind of App that lets you watch Flash Videos while browsing with Safari or any iPad/iPhone browser! Simply click the ‘Mail Link to this Page’ on any browser to email the video URL to your ‘Queue’ and open the App.

Simply register your email address in the App.
Use the “Mail Link to this Page” button in Safari or any browser to email a webpage with a Flash video to video@skyfire.com.
Videos sent from your email address will appear in your Skyfire VideoQ.
Copy the URL of a webpage that has a Flash video and open Skyfire VideoQ.
Install our bookmarklet into Safari. Once you find a page with a Flash video, just use the bookmarket to send the page to your Skyfire VideoQ.

One of the biggest complaints about iOS is the incompatibility with Flash. Skyfire VideoQ may not completely fill that gap, but since a huge amount of Flash content on the web is video, it’s a great solution for many people.

Skyfire VideoQ is available on the iPhone and iPad for $1.99. Screenshots and video after the break.

Regarding apps being updated to support iOS 5

On July 27, 2011, In app store, App Store Apps, Development, Editorial, ios 5, iPad, ipad apps, iPhone, iPhone Apps, by Rene Ritchie

Regarding apps being updated to support iOS 5

We’re getting a ton of emails about apps showing up in the App Store that say they’re compatible with iOS 5, and readers/listeners wondering how that could be since iOS 5 isn’t public yet. Here’s the thing — developers are not currently allowed to upload anything to iTunes Connect (the App Store backend) that uses the iOS 5 SDK and iOS 5 APIs. However, they may be able to make changes within the iOS 4.x SDK, using iOS 4.x API, that also just so happen to fix compatibility issues with iOS 5. In other words, they might be able to code around problems in iOS 5 for existing apps, but they can’t code new iOS 5-specific functionality.

There will likely be cases where devs can’t fix something using the iOS 4.x SDK as well, regardless of how clever they are. So we’ll once again remind you, if you’re using iOS 5 and a specific app doesn’t work right, not to leave a bad review. iOS 5 is only available to developers testing apps, not to users complaining about them. Wait until after iOS 5 is released to the public this fall before you start getting on anyone’s case.

Papa Penguin for iPhone free for one week!

On July 27, 2011, In App News, App Store Apps, Apps, Games, ideal bureaucracy, iPhone, iPhone Apps, iphone games, News, papa penguin, by Leanna Lofte

Papa Penguin, a game by Ideal Bureaucracy, is free in anticipation of an update due to be released next week.

Papa Penguin is a cute casual arcade game for children and their parents about a caring penguin who puts all his efforts in trying to get some fish for his two little children. The kids are quite gluttonous, so hardly Papa fetches them some food, they instantly absorb it and demand more and more!

Collect the fish and take it to your little kids!
Be smart! It’s not an easy task to get to the most delicious fish.
Don’t forget about the oxygen! You have to plan your route to get all the fish to the surface!
Beware of poisonous jelly-fish and sharp-toothed sea raptors!
Enjoy your antarctic diving with the beautiful ambient underwater music.

The update will include the following:

Screen rotation – play in both portrait and landscape mode
Sound button – you can now turn off the sound and listen to the music on your iPod while playing Papa Penguin
Better controls – pause button and interface elements on the screen no longer prevent you from controlling your character. You can use any part of the screen to move Papa
Funny scuba gear on the Papa’s back and other small graphical and gameplay improvements

Papa Penguin is free until next week’s update release (and debut on the Mac App Store). Screenshots after the break.

Apply selective coloring to your photos with Color Range for iPhone and iPad

On July 26, 2011, In App News, App Store Apps, Apps, color range, iPad, ipad apps, iPhone, iPhone Apps, News, photo apps, photography apps, by Leanna Lofte

SSA Mobile has released their new photo editing app, Color Range.

Simple and easy to use, this truly wonderful app enables you to convert any image into grayscale while keeping the selected color (or colors) bright and vivid. Color Range will make you feel like an artist photographer, except that instead of messing with a brush you’ll just need to tap the chosen color, select the color range and the smart app will automatically do the rest!

Unique Color Range effect with 2 work modes: color picker & color slider
Real time preview for all effects
Load pictures in any resolution or use the built-in camera
Zooming in and out for more convenient color choice
Gray / Color brush for custom edit of certain image areas when needed
Unlimited number of undo and redo options
HUE effect that allows you to change originally highlighted color (or colors)
Saturation and brightness controls
Easy and super user friendly interface and help
Save to Photo roll or share via eMail, Facebook & Twitter

Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of selective coloring, but if I was, this app looks like a great choice. Just tapping on the color is much easier than painting it in by hand.

Color Range is a universal app for iPhone and iPad and has an introductory price of $0.99.
