TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – Oh, boy… I have already published five iOS apps this month. And I’m ready to introduce a 6th one to you. This new iOS submission to App Store is called Movie2Shot Mobile.

Movie2Shot Mobile is an iOS conversion of an old desktop application project. It’s available for iPhone and iPad. Movie2Shot Mobile lets you take a movie screenshot with a tap of a button out of a video clip. It also lets you get multiple screenshots out of a movie at a time. Moreover, using Movie2Shot Mobile, you can scan all frames and look for one or more faces.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – The rainy season seems to have ended quickly in the Tokyo area. What awaits us is a series of scorching hot summer days. Well, I don’t know what’s going on exactly, but I’m ready to introduce to you a fifth iOS app of this month. I still have almost two weeks left this month, but I don’t know if there will be a sixth iOS app. Anyway, this new submission to App Store is called Count Me If You Can 2.

It was previously known as ClockMonkey, this updated version is an expert in counting numbers. Count Me If You Can 2 lets you count up numbers up to 512 with or without a voice. Or it can go backward and count down numbers to zero.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – Rainy, rainy, rainy…. It’s been raining lately in the Tokyo area, I think, because a typhoon is approaching the main island. Fortunately, it’s not terribly hot.

Well, I’m releasing a 4th iOS app of the month. Yes, I’m aware that I had the last one just four days ago. This new release is called My Overtime.

I have a lot of development projects that I work on that don’t come out of my work computers. One of them is a desktop application project where I have ended up making a macOS application that lets me record overtime hours. I need it because I had to add up all overtime hours at the end of each month and issue an invoice against a company that I worked for. My Overtime is an iOS conversion of this home-grown desktop application that lets you manage your overtime hours and show cumulative numbers each month.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – I thought the rainy season was over two weeks ago in the Tokyo area. But it seems not. I guess we are having another week of rainy days over this week. Anyway, I’m ready to introduce the third iOS app of this month to you. I guess I haven’t produced so many iOS apps for a long time. Anyway, this new release is called RollerText 3.

News reporters often have to improvise a speech at a disaster zone to give live updates. Some people have to make a live speech in front of a large audience before receiving an award. All they have in their hands are maybe just a microphone and an iPhone. Instead of resorting to a piece of paper with some information that can be blown away by an unexpected gust, maybe, they can use their iPhone or iPad at hand to read a text script that they have prepared beforehand.

We first introduced RollerText as an iPad-only app in December, 2012. RollerText 3 is developed for iPhone and iPad users that lets them use their iOS device as a virtual teleprompter. Initially, it had only one feature that gradually rolled a text script letter by letter. RollerText 3 now has four different text presentation features packed under one app: Text Rolling, Text Highlighting, Text Flashing and Text Switching.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – It was just last week when I released the last iOS app. And I’m ready to release another iOS app today. This new release is called LittleCal 4 Mobile.

LittleCal 4 Mobile is an iOS conversion of an existing desktop application for macOS. It lets you manage your schedules on the weekly basis.

The whole idea of LittleCal is to let the user remind themselves of events ahead of time. As far as the iOS version is concerned, you will get a local notification about an upcoming event ahead of time whether or not the device is locked. If you have an important conference call to attend at 3 PM, wouldn’t you like to be reminded of it ahead of time like 2 PM and, again, at 2:30 PM? That’s the basis of LittleCal.   Continue reading →
