Little Worlds Studio

If you have ever used an app that turns pictures in to funny moments you need to have a quick look at All in 1 Booth before you think about the pathetic results you achieved in past with other apps. All in 1 booth as the name says is a right spot to alter any picture having a human face in it. With All in 1 booth you can play with some of your old memories captured in form of pictures to give them a completely different look. With the app you can either use the camera to get a fresh photograph for your experiment or use photographs stored in gallery. All in 1 booth can change the face in photograph to a round, oval, Oblong, heart, Square, Diamond, triangle or any other shape you like. The app easily figures out the eyes, lips, chin and basic outline of faces in most complex pictures, even if it doesn’t in a very rare case you can adjust the markers to the right spot and guide the app to give the desired result.  I was really stunned to see a complete revamp of my photograph without any trace of duplication. All in One is does it really well with various types of face shapes. Just use the effects wisely and you will achieve some impressive results which will leave the person in the photograph speechless or laughing for hours. While i have tried apps like this a couple of times before because i wanted to make my buddies laugh on their own pictures, but i never did it better than this time. The graphics and UI is great, and with this you will be able to alter any face in less than a minute. Not just this you can also share these funny pictures with your friends and family on facebook , twitter , and mail or save them to your gallery and laugh sometime later. All in 1 booth is a wonderful app for a low price of 99 cents if you love to get entertained on your iPhone in your free time.

In the same way that a games fanatic can’t take their games console with them when they leave the house, a musician can’t take their entire studio with them either, hence the popularity of music apps for the iPhone.  It’s surprising that a mobile phone can be used to create music that doesn’t sound terrible, as in fact it’s quite the opposite – in the right hands, it’s something very special! Here is another good example of this genre.  120 BPM (iTunes link) is the latest app from Little Worlds Studio and is described as a pocket-sized music studio, where talented types can compose their own music using a selection of pre-loaded samples.  The $0.99/£0.59 app comes with Electro sounds as standard, but Funk, Dance and Pop-Rock collections can be purchased in-app for another $0.99/£0.59 each. The 48 samples per style are split into sections and can be arranged over five tracks to create a single composition.  Volume, pitch and speed can also be tweaked once you get started.  It’s easy too, as samples are dragged from the left of the screen and then arranged accordingly on the music sheet. As with all musical apps, in the right hands we’re sure musical magic will happen, but the more complex the app, the less accessible it is for beginners or casual players.  Thankfully, 120 BPM does have a good help section, but it’s so user-friendly that it’s best to just jump in, tap some buttons and start making some tunes.  You’ll soon get the hang of it and will likely be surprised by how quickly you can create something that sounds good.  There is no pretension here, as the controls and the terminology favor the casual user rather than the musical pro. That said, it’s interesting to see what more talented musicians make of 120 BPM, something you’re able to do thanks to the social aspect of the app.  A quick signup to the 120 BPM server and you’re connected to fellow users around the world and can listen to the tracks they’ve uploaded.  The 3D globe used to navigate through other people’s contributions works well and has the bonus of looking great too. So, you’ve had a play about and come up with something you’re happy with, what can you do with it then?  Well, it can be posted to the 120bpm servers like we’ve just talked about, or a link Read More

I got an e-mail about this a while ago, and while it is definitely a neat idea, I’m not sure that native iOS APIs can really do it justice. Having that giant red bar at the top of the screen can get annoying fast, I’m sure, and my iPhone 3GS runs out of RAM so often that I can’t really rely on Where is my Phone to stay on in the background.

By Chris Hall on September 3rd, 2010 Where Is My Phone now supports multitasking. I love my iPhone to death, but more often than not, I have no idea where it is. The problem that I have is that my lifeline to the outside world is smaller than the size of my hand, and easily finds itself in the strangest of places. Sometimes it’s sitting in my jeans from the night before, sometimes it’s under my bed sheets, sometimes I leave it in the bathroom; it’s really just a crapshoot. The app that was supposed to solve my problem once and for all was Where Is My Phone. The feature set sounded pretty great, all you would have to do is make a whistle and your iPhone would chime back. If you are alone in the house and can’t call yourself to get the phone to ring, this would be a lifesaver. The problem with the original version was that, without multitasking, the app had to be open for it to work. Sure, I guess you could turn the app on every time you leave your phone, but nobody is going to do that. The app quickly became a novelty app, with the ability to leave a voice or audio (including fart sounds) recording that would chime in when you whistled. As much as I like being able to produce fart sounds on command, I longed for the day that I would be able to find my phone in my pants. With the latest Where Is My iPhone update, you can now do that very thing because the app supports multitasking. Just whistle away, and even if the app isn’t open, the phone will speak up. Little Worlds, the developer, also increased the whistle sensitivity to pick up a wider range of piercing sounds, fixed some nagging bugs, and added the ability to record in 3 sounds at a time instead of one. “We revamped the app according to customers’ suggestions and technological context to develop a lot of new features as well. This is it now, the app is more practical and fun than ever,” said David Chomard, CEO of Little Worlds. “’Where is My Phone?’ is now easier, quicker, and more fun.” Pick up the app, or just update the one that you currently have today. $0.99 iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: Read More

If you have played Color Cross on the iPhone before, then this should be a familiar game for you. And even for those who have not had their hands on it, it is better late than never to discover something so much fun. The word ‘discover’ is right, for in Animal Color Cross, we get to play with colors and put together amazing animal pictures. The world is a grid in this game, and we have to fill each of these grids with different colors to solve the puzzles, a whooping 72 in all. We are given two choices of game modes – Classic and Arcade. If we have any doubts about how to play the game, the tutorial is there to help us along. There is even a video to make things doubly easy for us. We don’t go about filling the grids randomly with just any color. There are numbers given at the tops and sides of the canvases which indicate the number of cells that we have to fill in with a specific color. If we make a make a misstep, we have to pay with a time penalty; a cross indicates that we made a mistake. Ouch! Animal Color Cross lets us travel across five continents to discover animals from every nook and corner of the world. I found out that it gets progressively harder as we move on from one canvas to the next. The game catch word could possibly be ‘trial and error’; atleast that was how it was with me. All of our efforts are timed, so it’s not like we have all the time in the world to solve a puzzle. But it is elating when we can complete one, and Facebook is right there for us to blow our trumpets on. The graphics in Animal Color Cross are slick and make the game play real smooth. I like how we can zoom in and out, and slide across the cells to fill in color. On the whole, I would say that you have to have this game from Little Worlds Studio. It is addictive and fun, and perfect to play anytime. Read More

This is one of those games that makes me happy that the iPad came into being. It is such a perfect platform for a game like Splash Duel HD because of the large screen, enabling two persons to play at the same time. The players can either pitch their skills against each other or join forces and go for teamwork. And of course, we can always go solo and play against the computer. The game play in question is pretty simple – we have to battle it out underwater and break our way through a brick wall. This releases the fish caged inside the glass bricks and we gain their powers. Splash Duel HD manages to bring together the game of tennis and brick-breaking, and this unique combination together with the aquatic experience gives the game an extra edge. It is a long way to go before we can consider ourselves as champions, a hundred tough levels, to be precise. But there is glory waiting for us at each level, whether it is a gold, silver or bronze medal. A feature that I like is that we can choose how long we want a match to last, and go for 1, 3 or 5 minute matches. To make the game more rewarding and easier for us, there are 12 different types of bonus fishes. They can do a range of stuff like increase the ball or racket size, build up a defense wall, etc. There are also evil things that we can do to make our opponent’s play harder, so keep a look-out for that. Besides the obvious note-worthy features, Splash Duel HD has small details that convince us of the developer’s efforts to make it a great game. For instance, we can adjust the settings in such a way that it is easier for left-handed players. Fun elements like the mega power ball which packs quite a punch also make the game better. There is really nothing negative that I can say about Splash Duel HD, and I would recommend that you check this arcade-style game out with a guarantee that you will love it. Read More
