Whole Planet Foundation and BlueAvocado have teamed-up to launch a “Make Change. Not Waste.” iPhone app that rewards Whole Foods Market shoppers with coupons for green lifestyle actions, while at the same time raising awareness and funds for poverty alleviation. Shoppers get to earn badges and coupons from a catalog of 45 green lifestyle behaviors including recycling, using a reusable bag and biking to work. After completing 10 green actions, you get one coupon from leading green brands like Nature’s Path, Alexia Foods, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, Stonyfield, Frontier Co-op and Organic Valley. Moreover, there’s an option to donate a percentage of the coupon value back to Whole Planet Foundation, which will use the proceeding to fund microlending projects in impoverished communities where Whole Foods Market sources products. Sounds like an easy way to “go green” if you ask me. Heck, I see no risk in trying it out. Hit the link below to join this green party.

The free Weather Channel iPhone and iPod touch app just got its first major redesign since launching in 2008. It’s gotten several feature and design improvements over the years, but the app is taking a leap forward in looks and function with today’s version 5.0 update. Launching the app reveals the standard splash screen followed by the entirely new experience. The first thing you’ll probably notice is the current temperature because it’s gigantic. You can swipe left and right if you have more than one location saved to view the different weather conditions. The scenic background changes according to the weather outside — if it’s sunny outside, you’ll see a bright sky, and if it’s raining, you’ll see rain, etc. An expandable plus button will also display advanced details like wind, humidity, UV index, sunrise, sunset, and more. The bottom toggle for current conditions, hourly forecast, 36-hour forecast, and 10-day forecast is unchanged for the most part. However, the forecasts have a much cleaner look now and you can also swipe right or left in any of these views to see the forecasts for your different cities. Everything above is contained under the middle Weather tab. The Map and Video tabs on the left are exactly as they seem — the animated weather map shows the United States with a radar, satellite, or other options and the video section has user-submitted weather clips as well as content from The Weather Channel. The Social tab is new and it lets you view nationwide iWitness photos, submit your own, view tweets, and tweet your own weather. Lastly, the In Season tab has specific forecasts that only apply to different parts of the year like pollen, marine, and Hurricane Central. The Weather Channel did a pretty good job with this update, but it’s worth Read More

The 3rd installment in the popular sci-fi first-person shooter N.O.V.A. line is now available on the App Store. N.O.V.A. 3 brings even better graphics and intense first-person shooter fun to iOS devices, and quickly finds itself on our short list of must-have games for the iPhone and iPad. The storyline in N.O.V.A. 3 is reminiscent of other sci-fi shooter games. N.O.V.A. 3 takes place 4 months after the ending of the previous game, and protagonist Kal Wardin has been laying low for that period of time. He receives a desperate plea from Yelena to come back to Earth, and Kal has to fight his way back using various weapons, vehicles, and mechs through 10 different levels across the galaxy. In addition to the customary single-player mode, N.O.V.A. 3 also adds a more-immersive multiplayer experience. Up to 12 players are allowed in a match, and N.O.V.A. 3 now allows multiple persons to be in the same vehicle at the same time for added destruction. N.O.V.A. 3 features six different multiplayer game modes on six different maps. As is true with most Gameloft games, graphics are a major focus in N.O.V.A. 3. Gameloft has added real-time shadow and lights, particle system, and ragdoll physics to make N.O.V.A. 3 one of the most graphically rich iOS game to date. N.O.V.A. 3 will run you $6.99, and has a whopping 1.57GB download. N.O.V.A. 3 is available for the and up, as well as all iPad models.

There’s a new iPhone app in the AppStore I must warn you about. It’s called Shopaholic World and it allows tween shoppers to jet set between Paris and Hawaii, with New York coming soon. In other words, it’s one of those apps that will spoil every child, no matter how cost conscious he or she is. Needless to say, it’s pretty popular having reached the Top 10 iPad apps in Kids category in more than 100 markets as well as top 10 status in overall App Store ranking in 7 countries. Can you protect your child from it? If it already has an iPad, I doubt anything can be done. You’ll just have to keep telling him/her about other important stuff in life, some of which still don’t have a price tag. Aside from that “spoil factor,” the game lets kids make their outfit creations using more than 800 outfit items. Each player gets a weekly budget or “allowance” to “purchase” clothes in different “worlds” and just three weeks after launch, more than 10.5 million items had already been “bought” in Shopaholic World stores… Shopaholic World (FREE) [iTunes link] Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry.
