Perseids, 12cast


  • Tweetings ($1) is a Twitter client that includes push notification features. The application allows users to log into their twitter account and interact with the site. Users can view their timeline, post tweets, browse their friends and followers, uploading pictures to TwitPic, and more. The optional push notification feature allows users to receive alerts when they are mentioned in an @reply or when a direct message is received.

  • Words With Friends ($1) is a social crossword game similar to Scrabble, Wurdle, and WordFu. Players take turns using their letter pieces to build words on a board with the goal of scoring the most points. Games can be played locally on one device or players can wirelessly connect with friends. Because of the turn based nature of the game both players don't have to be in the game at the same time and moves can be made whenever a player is available. When a move has been made a notification will be sent to the other player letting them know it is now their turn.

  • AniGif ($2) allows users to create animated images and share them with friends and family. Users can take a set of images or import them from their library and then set an order and delay interval. Animations can then be shared through an email or uploaded to a Twitter account. AniGif also includes a 3D image feature which can be used to create 3D images from two pictures of the same object at different angles.

  • Perseids provides information on the Perseids meteor shower including viewing tips. The application includes a countdown to the event, news alerts, a sky map, and a live photo gallery that consists of meteor photos taken by users around the world. The Perseids meteor shower is scheduled to peak the night of August 11-12.

  • 12cast (free) can be used to post video links to a Twitter account. Videos can be selected from a devices library and uploaded with a custom message. Users can also record video from within the application for direct uploads.
