Rochester, New York – Even with iOS 4.1, the iPhone continues to be magical and revolutionary, but it still doesn’t do one thing that phone owners really need. The iPhone doesn’t tell you who is calling!

Users must purchase and assign musical ringtones and then try to remember which song is for which contact. For years, other phones have been able to speak the caller’s name or number allowing busy professionals to know who is calling without looking at the phone. No Tie Software’s AutoRingtone app and service empowers users to create custom Talking Ringtones using TEXT-TO-SPEECH.

Instead of relying on stock ringtones, users can create their own talking “Caller ID” ringtones, that say exactly what they want, such as “Steve, the President is calling. He needs your advice. Again. Should I let it go to voicemail?” They say your first million is the hardest. Perhaps that’s why it took seven months for AutoRingtone users to create 1,000,000 custom talking ringtones but only three months for the second million?!

Recently, No Tie teamed up with independent rock band Fulton Read to create a private label version of AutoRingtone, called Fultones. Fans of Fulton Read can combine several music clips with the AutoRingtone TTS service to create custom ringtones. The app is free and provides links to Fulton Read’s music on iTunes.

With AutoRingtone Pro, users can select from Dozens of professional (British Man or Woman, Old Man, GPS Gal, etc.) and funny voices (Jersey Girl, Valley Girl, Space Alien).

Users can also select nearly 200 sound effects as an attention-getting introduction!

There are no limitations. Create unlimited ringtones and messages are completely uncensored. Indeed, many users are taking advantage of that feature!

Ringtones are downloadable in both .m4r as well as .aiff formats, so they can be created on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad but used on iPhones as well as other phones. iPhone owners can even create ringtones for their non-iPhone owning friends to use when the iPhone owner calls those friends!

No Tie created a funny video, seen by thousands, demonstrating how the service works, called “AutoRingtone: Behind the Curtain”!

AutoRingtone has been a consistent bestseller since introduction, reaching as high as #3 in its category. No Tie reached this milestone the old fashioned way, providing a great app and a great service, at a great price. AutoRingtone Pro is on sale now for just $0.99!

Grenoble, France – Nemoid Studio today is pleased to announce a major update of their rhythm game Tunes Attack!, the first rhythm game on the App Store that proposed 3 different game plays dynamically generated by the player’s music. With the recent release of Apple iOS 4 it is now possible to play directly with the music from the iPod Library.

Before iOS 4, apps only had a limited access to iPod Library. They could play, pause and stop songs. That is it. There was no way for apps to analyze the music. Rhythm games that proposed to play with your own music had to circumvent this limitation using different tricks, for example asking the user to edit manually the taping notes. In Tunes Attack! the player had to re-upload their songs into the game via Wi-Fi.

Things have changed with the availability of iOS 4. Apps can now import songs from the iPod Library and do whatever with. It opened the way to DJ apps and made life a lot easier to rhythm games. The last update of Tunes Attack! now has this feature and it had never been so easy to play with your own music.

Tunes Attack! offers no less than 3 musical games in 1: the classical guitar tap game, a scooter race and a space shooter! Thanks to high quality 3D graphics and a musical atmosphere necessarily the best (since it is yours!), immersion is total! An amazing story will punctuate your musical career. You can also compare your scores online with the rest of the world, on each game and each song, and even challenge a friend, 2 on the same device!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
* iOS 2.0 or later
* iOS 4.0 or later for iPod Library access
* 19.1 MB

Pricing and availability:
Tunes Attack! 1.5 is $2.99 USD and is available exclusively in the App Store in the Games-Music and Games-Arcade category. Review copies are available upon request.

Tunes Attack! 1.5 – Gets New iPod Library Access for iOS 4

Author: editor | Filed under: News

Austin, Texas – WellAlright today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of BandMate: Concert Tipster HD 3.2, an update to the iPad version of their popular concert recommendation and music discovery tool. BandMate makes it easy to find the live music events and new music releases that matter most to an individual. By analyzing the music already on the user’s iPod, BandMate highlights upcoming concerts and releases for both the bands a user already listens to along with other artists that the user would most likely be interested in.

With this release, music fans now can listen to iTunes song previews directly from within BandMate. So, in addition to the videos, photos, and the facts on a band, concertgoers can now sample a few tunes to help them decide if a show is worthy.

This release also introduces BandMate’s new Concert Playlist feature. Now a fan can just tap a button to listen to the music on their iPod for all their artists that are in town. BandMate makes it easy to plan a weekend while at work or working out.

Additional enhancements in this release that help keep the music fan in the know include direct links to an artist’s Facebook feed and recommendations for new album releases.

About BandMate:
With so many new bands playing on any given night, it’s difficult for concertgoers to pick out the show they’d like to see most, and often they find out too late about great shows they missed. BandMate evolved around the idea of connecting fans with the shows they’ll love.

Beyond simply alerting music fans to live shows by their favorite bands, BandMate analyzes the music they already listen to and discovers new bands that they would want to check out. It searches through event listings in the city of the user’s choice to create a personalized calendar of only the shows that they want to see. Each event even includes a probability score of how strong the recommendation is. BandMate also provides all the tools music fans need to find out more about artists, including links to schedules, videos, bios, music, along with easy ways to share any info with their friends via e-mail, Twitter, and Facebook.

Feature Highlights:
* Watch the band’s videos
* Listen to the artist’s music
* Read the band’s biography
* Browse the artist’s web site and Facebook feed
* View multiple photos of each artist
* Review the artists behind each recommendation
* Purchase tickets
* View videos, pictures, bios, etc. for all artists on your device, even if they don’t have any upcoming events
* Share via email, Facebook, and Twitter
* View upcoming releases
* Track all the events at your favorite venues
* Set a personal rating for each artist
* Review the band’s tour schedule
* Launch the band’s last.fm radio station
* Explore the other artists in the event line-up
* Keep track of and organize your favorite events
* Export favorites to your calendar
* Add artists not already on your iPod
* Turn off artists you don’t want to include
* Import artists from iTunes playlists
* Get a map and directions to the venue
* View all upcoming shows at a venue
* Explore events in different cities

“I’m lucky enough to live in Austin, a fantastic city known for live music,” says Rimas Remeza, owner and CTO of WellAlright. “So many incredible bands play here every night. And if you look hard enough, there’s always some artist you’ll want to check out.” The tough part is, with so many shows, simply poring over the local event listings might help you find a couple bands you know, but it does little to help you find new bands that you may like. We definitely needed a better way for people to connect with new artists that they’d enjoy,” continues Remeza. “Being both a music fan and a geek, and seeing the possibility of combining both loves to do something that might help people enjoy their live music scene a bit more, I developed BandMate. Hopefully, it will lead to more folks discovering new music and more new fans out there supporting bands.”

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BandMate: Concert Tipster HD 3.2 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.

First Ever Songwriter’s app for the iPad Now Available

Author: editor | Filed under: News

London, United Kingdom – Appnoose Ltd today announced that it has ported its highly regarded Interval Training App ITGO for the iPhone and iPod touch to a Native HD version for Apple’s iPad. As with the iPhone and iPod touch versions of ITGO which was featured as an Apple Staff Favorites, in the Financial Times and on ABC, ITGO HD for iPad sets a new standard for Interval Training on the iPad with a host of features and design aesthetics never previously seen on any tablet device.

Features such as dual automated music playlists for fast and slow intervals in addition to voice, beep or custom prompts, and gorgeous concentric dial timers that include separate interval timers as well as a session timer makes ITGO HD a worthy contender for the best designed interval trainer for the iPad and therefore any currently available tablet device.

ITGO for iPad version 1.0.4 features the premium version of ITGO 1.4 for iPhone and iPod touch with enhancements to take advantage of the iPad’s higher resolution, greater real estate space and enhanced speakers. “ITGO HD for the iPad is much better suited to group activity than the iPhone version”, declares Owen Hunte, ITGO inventor. “By connecting to a PA system iPad users can have a sophisticated work out generator that would be totally amazing in a group or class environment such as aerobics, spinning or just at home”, he continues. “Of course it would excel without a PA system for individuals or groups in a small room, home gym or hotel suite given the iPad’s great speaker playback capabilities”.

Operation of ITGO HD is based around three main screens; the Timer, Settings and Audio screens. Users start by selecting their session workout time, the fast interval duration and the slow/fast interval ratio. Users can also choose to switch the vibration alerts on or off on this page however current iPads don’t support vibration. Next, users can switch to the Sounds page to select music from their onboard iPod library for the separate Slow and Fast playlists.

The Sounds page also includes options to choose audio prompts, select the playlist play mode and volume settings for the prompts and music. The music playlists can be set to shuffle, repeat or just play in order. Finally users switch to the Timer screen and after selecting a warm up and cool down length from zero to 3 minutes, start their workout. ITGO’s timers then count down the intervals in circular segments and displays individual numerical timers for the fast and slow intervals and total session duration as well as the currently playing song and provides double vibration alerts at each interval change.

Recent research has stated that exercising to music can increase endurance by 15%, increase energy efficiency by 1-3% and lowers the perception of effort, making exercise seem easier. This coupled with previous research which concluded that interval training is many more times effective than steady state exercise because of challenging both the body’s aerobic and anaerobic systems simultaneously would suggest that ITGO HD is the perfect combination of technology and motivation that any health and fitness conscious individual looking to lose fat and improve health would benefit from using.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later
* 7.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ITGO HD – Interval Trainer GO HD 1.0.4 is $5.99 (USD) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Healthcare & Fitness category. Review copies are available upon request.

Sunrise, FL – Announcing that Wetapps, LLC, the developers of Playlist-Creator, has released the latest version of their unique playlist application. This fast and flexible app takes playlist organization to a whole new level, giving users the unlimited freedom to create, edit, rename or delete lists without syncing to iTunes. With an easy interface and fast performance, along with offering more than any other playlist app currently on the market, Playlist-Creator is bound to become a quick favorite with music lovers.

The developers created Playlist-Creator for people on the go. As busy music lovers themselves, they understood the frustration of not having or being able to create good playlists while away from the computer. There were playlist apps on the market but they were not very user-friendly and had some limitations that developers wanted to remove for their users. Mostly, they wanted to make their app look like the native iPod that people are familiar with, while giving users a ton of flexibility.

Playlist-Creator has a very easy-to-use interface. Playlists can be created, edited and saved quickly and easily. Even beginners will find it simple to get started with this app, which offers the comfortable feel and versatility of the iPod they know and love.

“This app’s fast performance is no accident,” says Wetapps owner Noel Duncan. “It has been developed to get users to the music as quickly as possible. That is after all, the point. Playlist editing and using other apps can even be done while music is playing, allowing for the flexibility of multi-tasking in an enjoyable way.”

Developers have further increased the performance speed in this latest release, as well as incorporating some other exciting additions to their already great product:
* Album art viewing
* Shuffle songs
* Scrub bar
* Re-ordering of playlist
* Edit, rename, reorder, delete, all while listening to music

Users can create lists on their iPod’s Genius or Smart Playlists and load it into Playlist-Creator, adding even more flexibility to the app. By all accounts, Playlist-Creator is a smooth, easy app that has, thus far, impressed the music lover community. Even so, developers have plans to release a lite version of the product that will allow users to ‘test drive’ their application before buying.
