One of the most troublesome thing for iTunes App Store for now is one Apple ID for one country iTunes App Store account. So if you want some free app that only available in US, you need to create another Apple ID for it with US address. If I want to login Malaysia iTunes App Store to get some other free app , again I have to create a new Apple ID for it.

Create these Apple ID are just easy with Google Maps , but the most troublesome part is you need to switch between account, example I found some interesting apps in US App Store,  so I log off and login in my main SG App Store account to find it , oh damn it never release in SG App Store, I need to login US App Store again to get it, imagine just for a short process like this, I need to login and logout for 3 times already.

So I try to find a solution recently and saw this old post from Mac Stories and it seem like the download site has been change , now you can get it from Mac Point , what this menu app does it more like pre record the steps you need to do in order to switch account, so once you save your username and password, with one button switch, the whole thing will be act like recording machine and repeat the login/logout process automatically.

the downside of this is you can’t interrupt during the process, which mean once you click on switch account, your mouse focus should be on your iTunes, you can’t use the browser while waiting the switching to be done.

If you have security concern , maybe the plain apple script version will be another choice. Hopefully Apple will resolve this issue soon, one Apple ID to rules all country App Store.

Beluga vs GroupMe on App Store https://imknight.net/mobile/beluga-vs-groupme-on-app-store/ https://imknight.net/mobile/beluga-vs-groupme-on-app-store/#respond Fri, 18 Mar 2011 01:41:20 +0000 https://imknight.net/?p=2319 This is not a feature compare post , I just want to share something I observed on App Store between this latest/hot group messaging apps.

This is not a feature compare post , I just want to share something I observed on App Store between this latest/hot group messaging apps.

We all know that  one of the hot topic during SXSW is about group messaging and base on the hype we see through Twitter / Facebook / Blogs that GroupMe and Beluga is the top in this group messaging category.

I saw Mashable’s Post this morning and thinking to download both and give it a try, I fire up my iTune and connect to Singapore App Store , type in “GroupMe” in search and I can only see Beluga appear.


It seem like GroupMe is not pushing to out of US App Store, but their competitor Beluga is already taking the first step and using “GroupMe” as keyword for their app. I would say this is a smart move and is just like the keyword competition in the web , where the competitor always buy each other brand name and serve up their own ads.

A good lesson for me before step in the mobile apps industry.

P/s I just realize Facebook acquired Beluga some time ago.

Just in case you are not aware of , the latest iTunes 9 come with improved syncing feature which allow you to organize your application through different page in your iphone/ipod touch. Before this feature release, you can only manually organize the application on each page, which mean if you need to move application from page 1 to page 4, you need to hold that applications until it movable and drag it across 3 pages.

itunes-application-sort

Now with this new application organize feature, everything is just drag and drop, as you can see on the screen shot, i have lots of application across different pages, i just need to drag the application that i would like to move and drop it on the page , which is very straight forward.Although i m quite happy with this new feature, but i think movement is much more better in organize applications, watch the youtube demo video and you will agree with me.

It’s Tuesday again , the WOW maintenance day, that’s why i feel like talking about the new WOW Mobile Armory , an application by Blizzard which for iPhone and ipod touch.This is not Blizzard first iphone apps, their first iphone apps is the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator which act like authenticator for wow user, something like the authenticator that we using for ebanking.

So what this this Mobile Armory about ? it’s like a mini wow site in your iPhone, you can almost see everything that related to your characters. You can check on the calendar to see your raid date, you can play with talent calculator to customize some of the talent point, you can check news to see will the server go does or not tonight. Overall i feel that application is well implement, the only negative feedback will be you need connection in order to use this application, there always try to auth with WOW server when you launch the application.

I know that facebook release facebook connect for iPhone some time ago , but so far none of my ipod touch games/apps is using the facebook connect, until i downloaded Who Has The Biggest Brain? iphone/ipod touch free version by Playfish.

Who Has The Biggest Brain? is one of the first few apps that integrated with facebook connect on iphone , the game itself is a famous game on facebook already , which is also one of my favourite game. Start the facebook connect by clicking the in game connect button, of course a connection is needed, be it 3G or WIFI. Once the Connect to Facebook popup is show, just entry your facebook email and password, this is actually similar step for using the facebook connect on external site.

fb-connect-on-iphone-connect

once you connected with your facebook account, your ipodtouch/iphone profile will be sync with your facebook Who Has The Biggest Brain? profile, you can compare with your friend score and what i like is , the apps actually caching this friend chart, which mean when you play the game without WIFI or 3G , you can still able to see this friend chart.

fb-connect-on-iphone-friend

fb-connect-on-iphone-playfish

overall i think the connect is nicely done, the only thing i wish they can improve is maybe add in the challenge mode , so that the users can play this game together, anyway currently the pro version of this app is on sale for 99 cents, i think i will buy it, if you like the game too , don’t miss up the sales.

After the whole iPhone 3GS heat in singapore , i believe this second wave of iphone heat should send more people to the iTunes App Store and they might surprise that app store contain so many “Sexy” applications.

This remind me of the first t softcore porn app saga , We all thought that it is Apple ban the application , the actual fact is the developer’s website can’t handle the load and remove it from the App Store, because the apps is just serve as an interface , those sexy photo are still serve from the developer server. If you think that’s the only application that does this , you are wrong , try search “sexy” in your iTunes apps store and you can see how many apps out there are using the same content deliver model , which mean they change the photo they serve any time.

app-store-sexy

I believe that we might see the apps that connect to those “adult version of youtube” soon ? I wonder will the app store restrict by local law ?

I just bought Instapaper Pro after using Instapaper free for such a long time. I blog about instapaper as a “save now read later” tool last year and it also become one of my top 5 ipod touch applications this year.

These are my reasons for getting the Instapaper Pro

  • Show appreciation to the developer.
  • Enjoy the pro feature like Black-background text view and Remembers your position ( this 2 are my favourite ).
  • Discount – the original price is $9.99.
  • Instapaper pro 2.0 will be free upgrade.
  • It seem like it working on the correct direction, some social feature added on 2.0 release.

instapaper-pro

Currently Instapaper Pro is on sale at $4.99 @ apple app store , which is quite a good buy, get it now before the 2.0 approve by apple.

I always show my support to games that provide lite version in app store , in fact this should apply to most of the apps. Apps developer might think that since the apps is so cheap, why bother to waste the effort to create/strip down a lite version ? this explain why there are so little lite version apps/games appear in the app store.

Why i think these 5 games looks promising ? because they actually provide lite version for user to download , after i play with lite version , i do think these games is quite worth it.

1. Tower Bloxx Deluxe

tower-bloxx

a special game that need you to stack the tower , other then the simple stacking action , it seem like there are strategy planning part which need you to plan where to put your building.

Price : $2.99 | iTune linkiTune link for Lite version | Youtube Video

2. Cooking Mama

cooking-mama

a famous cooking game that appear on different paltform, this is not a blindly port over version, it actually make use of ipod touch feature to perform different action of cooking.

Price : $6.99 | iTune linkiTune link for Lite version | Youtube Video

3. Wild West Gun

wild-west-gun

a westen theme base gun shooting  game, remind me of virtual cop, just need to becareful don’t poke through your ipod touch/iphone

Price : $1.99 | iTune link iTune link for Lite version | Youtube Video

4. Super Market Mania

super-market-mania

a super market theme game that remind me of dinner dash series flash game ,  the weekend stage reflect the lots of people going to super market in the noon time and how you going to handle it.

Price : $3.99 | iTune linkiTune link for Lite version | Youtube Video

5. Air port Mania

airport-mania

the action part similar to super market mania, but this game allow you to manage your airport, planning and upgrade the equipments of your air port.

these are the 5 lite version game that in my ipod touch , i haven’t decide which one to get but i think all these game are worth the value, the only one that i feel is a bit pricy will be the cooking mama, anyway is not easy to learn cooking , you pay a price for it.

If you have a iphone/ipod touch and like to browse around app store but hate the way how app store organize, you will like this site – AppShopper

So why i recommend this site ? i would say this site have 2 major point to attaract you, first you can browse the application by type , be it Paid application or Free application, currently this feature is not longer available in app store, you can’t browser through free application only. The other killer feature is , it allow you to keep track application that having “price changes” feature.

How often you miss out some app store promotion ? some expensive application might be under promotion, some paid application might be free for limited time, with keep track the “price changes” feature combine with the application type filter ( Paid or Free ) , you wouldn’t miss out all these promotion any more.

take a look paid application that become free after price change, there might be some application that suit your need.
