Tag: Apps

Everything is about apps at the moment. A lot of what I mention under the apps tag is around iOS and mobile music, but there’s other stuff too, and not just iOS, but Android, Palm OS and Windows mobile.

Hyperspace 3D

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

Another app from the incredible Strange Agency. I’ve only had a brief amount of time to play with it, and it is fun so far, but not as initially impressive as MegaCurtis was when I first got that.

And, for the record. My favourite app from them is still Donut. Hands down.

No more app revisits

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music, Tech

Well, there’ll be no more posts about old apps running on my iPhone 3G as I gave it away to someone who needed it more than I did. So from now on I’ll have to restrict myself to newer apps and see where I go using my iPhone 4 a bit more.

There probably won’t be too much less in the way of mobile music related posting, but not so much on the older iOS app front.

Finding something interesting to do with LiveView

Posted by on in Tech

Ok, I’ve been tinkering with the LiveView and to be honest, whilst it is interesting and it does demonstrate that the whole smartwatch thing has moved on since the Fossil Palm OS watch, I don’t have a real use for it in it’s current form.

I guess the main problem with it is that it doesn’t work with my iPhone, but also because the screen isn’t really designed to show very much information and isn’t too useful. My guess is that the next version will be better. From what I’ve seen so far the screen is much nicer and the device is a lot thinner too.

Having said that I’ve already decided to get a Pebble smartwatch and I think that will have moved the technology forward, and also, the Pebble will work with iOS, which is a big plus for me.

LiveView controlling music

Posted by on in Tech

So, I got it to do something slightly useful now. It can play music, although it has seemed a little random so far and control isn’t brilliant. It’s a step in the right direction though.

App revisit: Vocoder SV-5

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

Another older app that I admit hasn’t been used too much for a while now. It is a good app, with lots of possibilities, but again, it hasn’t seen an update for a while, and for that matter YUDO haven’t done an update for a long time on any of their music apps.

App revisit: Toro Mini

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

Toro Mini is a real fav of an app. I love the sounds it makes and how simple it is to work with. There was some talk about there being an iPad version too, but that hasn’t surfaced as yet. Shame really, it would be nice to see if get some updates.

App revisit: Noise IO Pro Synth

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

Noise IO Pro is arguably the first synth for the iPhone/Touch. It’s still pretty amazing to this day. Amidio haven’t done anything with it for a long time, although I thought there was a suggestion that they were going to issue an HD version or an update of some kind. Still, it’s worth remembering this app as a real groundbreaking event in mobile music history.
