“Walter who? We no longer block out an hour to watch the evening news. NowThis News takes a different approach to news consumption that caters to the YouTube-loving crowd.”
- FastCompany

Huffington Post co-founder Ken Lerer and former CEO Eric Hippeau have collaborated to create NowThisNews, a new social news video application available on iOS that aggregates original and third party videos from the web. Recognizing the decline of interest in current affairs and eager to appeal to a younger audience, the pair are adamant to go where the audience is: mobile.

ShuffleFrenzy is our flagship game from our new Pink Zombie Studios brand.

Long for the old carnival days when you could enjoy a good shell game? Do you want to find how fast your eye is? If you said, “YES”, ShuffleFrenzy is the game for you!

ShuffleFrenzy is a simple game – follow the shuffling cups to identify which one has the ball. The shuffle speed and the number of shuffles increases as you guess correctly. How good is your eye? How many shuffles in a row can you follow? Can you beat your best friend’s score?

ShuffleFrenzy includes the following:

• Two amazing themes that can be unlocked as you continue to play.
• Eight different achievements to be unlocked. Some achievements are secret, so you’ll have to figure out what unlocks them.
• Challenge your friends to beat your highest score. (iOS only)
• Brag to your friends via Twitter and Facebook about your high score. (iOS only)
• Get the highest score on our global leaderboards by competing against other players from around the world.
• Support for OpenFeint and Apple’s GameCenter.

Do you suffer from allergies but don’t know the cause? Are you trying to figure out the trigger to a migraine or another symptom? Do you want to track a symptom frequency and severity? Symptomatic can help you.

With Symptomatic, you can track:

• Contacts: Any unusual plant, animal, or thing that you might have come in contact with.
• Events: A gathering or event such as a party that you might have attended.
• Food: Any unusual food item that you might have eaten.
• Medications: Any medication taken by you.
• Symptoms: A symptom you experience rather than an event which might have led to the symptom.
• Travel: Did you travel to a new country or place?
• Weather: Any differences in weather that might affect you.

Tracking symptoms along with food, contact, travel, weather, etc., can help get to the root cause or trigger for that symptom.

Main Screen

From Symptomatic‘s main page, you can:

• Add an event to the event list (“+” at the upper left).
• Delete events from the event list (“Edit” button).
• Go to the Edit screen to edit the currently selected event’s details (“Edit” button).
• Go to the Info screen to view information about this application and how to use it (“i” in bottom right corner).

Add & Modify Events

The screen for adding an event and editing an existing event is the same. You can record or change:

• The category of event – contact, event, food, medication, symptom, travel, or weather.
• The title for the event (displayed on main screen).
• Date and time for the event.
• A description for the event.
• Pain level for symptoms.

When you’re done, tap on Save to save your changes and return to the main screen. If you want to return to the main screen without saving your changes, tap on the Events List button.

Editing a date brings up the date selection view from where you can set a new date via the “Select” button or dismiss the date selection view without making any changes via the “Cancel” button.

When the keyboard is showing, you can tap anywhere on the screen to get the keyboard to dismiss and display the full editing screen.

In-App Upgrade

The free version of Symptomatic allows you to track up to 20 events. If you want to add additional events beyond the initial 20, you’re prompted to upgrade to the Pro version as seen in the following image.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the in-app upgrade.

Once you’ve purchased the upgrade, the purchase is recorded on your account and you won’t have to purchase it again. If, however, your personal information is wiped from your phone, then the app will say you need to upgrade, but you will not be charged since the purchase was recorded at the Apple server end as well. You simply need to go through the process again to re-upgrade the app.

About Screen

The “About” screen, accessible via the “i” button on the main screen, displays basic information about the app including it’s version number and also allows you to access a couple of other screens via the buttons at the top of screen.

The “Help” screen is one of the other screens accessible via the “About” screen. This screen contains some basic information about how to use the app. If this information isn’t enough, or if you you have any questions about Symptomatic, experience any problems, or have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to visit our support forums.

Additionally, RookSoft also contributed to the iOS-iPhone only app.

Edward Lear (1812-1888) was renowned for his literary nonsense and was responsible for popularizing the form of poetry known as the limerick. In addition to being a poet, he was also an author, illustrator, and artist.

A Book of Nonsense by Edward Lear was originally published in 1846 and is now here, in ebook form, complete with all the original pictures and verses. All told, there are 112 delightfully entertaining limericks, each complete with its own original image.

Starting with…

There was an Old Man with a nose,
Who said, “If you choose to suppose
That my nose is too long,
You are certainly wrong!”
That remarkable Man with a nose.

Our e-book reader, Danno, unlike most e-book readers available for the iPhone, allows us to embed images throughout the text, allowing you, the reader, to see A Book of Nonsense exactly as Edward Lear intended it to be seen and to enjoy his fascinating and humourous illustrations, perfectly matched to each nonsense poem.

Resizing text so it’s either smaller or larger, depending on your preferences, is easy, as is resizing images to see them in greater detail.

Need to search for text? That’s easy, too, and the search results are highlighted in yellow for your convenience. Use the Find Previous and Find Next buttons to find other instances of your search term.

A Book of Nonsense by Edward Lear is presented using our Danno e-Book Reader. For Danno‘s full feature set as an e-book reader, please follow this link.
