2011 witnessed the arrival of a lot of app for iOS and
Android devices, and for the past couple of months we have been introducing
some great apps through our articles. We hope that these articles will really
help new users in selecting apps for their devices. Let me introduce three new
apps today.
My Video Diary: This app gives users the luxury of recording
the daily events with videos, audios and images. After launching the app, users
can start writing their diary just by tapping ‘Make an Entry for Today’. It
guides them to the next screen where they could find Record Video Entry, Record
Audio Entry, Upload Video/Pic and Archive Entry. It is really easy to use and
it needs no guidance, but there is a Help section for novice users. If the
users want privacy for their records, they can use Password Protect option.
However, after setting the password, it can be changed, but it can’t be
removed. My Video Diary is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S,
iPod Touch (3rd generation), iPod Touch (4th generation) and iPad and it
requires iOS 3.2 or later. Please note that the device needs camera to let the
user record events. This app costs USD 1.99.
Promotr: This is another interesting app that was launched
towards the end of the year and I think the name itself could suggest something
about the app. Promotr helps users to deal with their Flickr images. With this
app, users can easily add their Flickr images to groups, tag them with appropriate
keywords and add them to sets. To make their job a bit more easy, Promotr
allows them to do it to batches of images. However, users couldn’t view the
image in the full screen. We think this is a must have app for Flickr users. This
app is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad and it requires iOS 4.3 or
later. Promotr costs USD 4.99. This app is really slim (0.8 MB) and needs no
time to load.
WildABLE: WildABLE is all about exploring the unexplored
beauty of nature. After launching this app, the users need to choose a
character – Male or Female - to get into the act. It would show two circles on
the bottom of the screen and by moving these circles users can start exploring.
Apart from the pleasing visuals, it also has some great sound effect to give
that realistic feel. However, the size of WildABLE is just 25 MB. Well, it is
really a good app, but the developer needs to work on the App Store description
to give some sort of insight for the users. It also lacks a ‘Help’ section.
This app is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad and it requires iOS
4.3 or later.
The apps listed here were launched in December 2011, so they
are pretty new. I find no issues while running them in my iOS 5 device and I
think these apps would certainly perform well in 2012. If you have some
interesting suggestions, please contact us at Alpha Digits.
