TOKYO (MacHouse) – Before this month ends, I have one more iOS app to introduce. The iPhone-only app that I submitted to Apple‘s App Store several minutes ago is called Animal Me.

Animal Me is similar to the last iOS app that I submitted to App Store. This iPhone-only app lets you turn your camera selfie into an animal. You have five animal costumes to choose from. Take a camera selfie through this app and then pick an animal costume. The app also lets you add a comment to your animal selfie.

TOKYO (MacHouse) – There are hundreds of people in my town who are willing to go through a painful operation to look like a Martian. Well, if you are one of them, you can use this app to see if it’s worth spening thousands of dollars to make yourself look like a Martian.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – Personally, I don’t watch TV. I don’t even own a TV set. It’s not that I’m anti-social. Instead, I read news on the web. In fact, I’m a news junkie. I go to one news web site after another to read news a dozen times a day. I introduced a desktop application called NewsRoll to the OS X world about a year and a half so that I could read news from different sources at a time. It’s been quite a hit in many countries. So I now have a similar iOS app of this kind. It’s called AllNews.

AllNews is a mobile app for iPhone and iPad users who would like to read multiple RSS news feeds at a time instead of visiting one news web site after another. With this app, you don’t scroll a list of news captions. Rather, AllNews will scroll each line of news captions for you. So just watch them and tap a news caption that catches your eyes so that you can read the entire story with a web browser. The app comes with a built-in library of 100+ RSS links. So just pick one or more and get lines of news captions rolling.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – About two weeks ago, I released an analog clock app phone iPhone. Then, some 10 days later, I submitted a desktop application based on that iPhone app to Mac App Store. Although it’s been ready for release at Mac App store, I have decided to put a hold on it and put it through Apple’s technical advice (TSI, DTS or whatever) since it crashes on my MacBook Pro for some unknown reasons. For the time being, I’m ready to release a new iPhone app, which is based on the first analog app again. It’s called aClocks Premium.

aClocks Premium is an advanced version of an existing iPhone app called aClocks. It allows the user to run multiple analog clocks at a time. It comes with several, additional features that aClocks doesn’t have. aClocks Premium lets you select a clock skin out of 22 styles. Some of them are quite pretty. Also, aClocks Premium lets you highlight locator buttons so that you can give some of the clocks special attention.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – It’s been about four months since Apple, Inc. released iOS 10. There’s a world clock app by Apple. It used to let you run analog or digital clocks. But you can no longer run analog clocks under iOS 10. So if you want to run multiple analog clocks, hmmm… Use aClocks?
