Meditoons are animations designed to simplify and explain medical disorders.
After watching one, the viewer will be more familiar with normal anatomy, function and ultimately how the disease develops. The animations are less than a minute in length.

Displayed on an iPad or iPhone, Meditoons are used as a portable aid in counseling patients in any setting. They are ideal for acutely ill patients and their families, admitted through the Emergency Room. They are also an educational tool for the physician’s office. Both patients and families are encouraged to learn about the disease. Further information is made available with links to WebMD and various medical association’s patient education sites.

You have 2 minutes to accumulate as many points as possible—simple, huh?

Each letter is worth 10 points. The longer the word, the more points you get. Bonus points are awarded for 4 letter words or longer. The more long words you get in a row, the bigger your bonus; as soon as you make a short or invalid word, the bonus scoring ends. Words need to be 3 letters or longer to be valid; each word will only be counted once.

So go forth, make long words and score big!


Game Features

* Draw a line to connect letters and form words
* Beautifully designed interface.
* Game Center Achievments and Leaderboards
* Four Bonuses—earn them to maximize your scoring potential!
* Over 25 possible Achievements and counting!
* Immersive sounds and addictive gameplay.
* Optimized for Retina display and play on iPad and iPhone.

Triple Town is an original puzzle game in which you try to grow the greatest possible city. The larger the city you build, the more points you score. You build your city by matching three or more game-pieces: combine three grasses to make a bush, three bushes to make a tree... until you've filled the board with houses, cathedrals and castles. Along the way, you'll have to outwit giant bears who will try to block your progress.

How large can you grow your dream city before the board fills and the game ends?

Triple Town is free to play forever. Eventually, you will run out of moves, but they replenish for free if you wait a while, and you can also buy more moves with free coins that you earn in-game. If you want to eliminate the move counter altogether, there is a one-time fee for *lifetime* unlimited moves. It works on any compatible iOS device you own -- just load the game's option menu on your other devices and select "restore unlimited turns" to activate your purchase on additional devices.

645 PRO—PRO-QUALITY OUTPUT, FOR THE FIRST TIME

645 PRO is the first and only iPhone camera app to give you "developed RAW"—dRAW—TIFF files*, a workflow essential for many professionals. Its JPEGs, too, are of a quality typically associated with higher-end digital cameras, with the option to save "lossless" JPEGs.

The JPEGs are enhanced by 645 PRO's seven gorgeous Film Modes, inspired by classic film stock as used by top photographers from the 1960s through to the present day. You'll get photographs from your iPhone like you never imagined!

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Maximum image quality
645 PRO develops high-quality JPEGs with the option of completely “lossless” JPEGs. You also have the choice to save the dRAW image data in TIFF format for later post-processing.

2. Intuitive handling
645 PRO has all its controls “on-camera”, providing instant access to everything.

3. Ultimate control
If it can be controlled, 645 PRO lets you control it. Exposure, focus, white balance, and more...

4. Spot metering
With 645 PRO you can choose between the standard Multi-Zone metering approach and more targeted Spot metering.

5. Low-light performance
Using Night Mode, 645 PRO has shutter speeds of up to 1 second, which can open up even the darkest evening scene.

6. Interchangable bodies
Choose the look you want for your camera—the verve of Rosso or understated Classic.

7. Interchangable backs
With five backs, 645 PRO can deliver all the leading medium format ratios from square to panoramic.

8. Professional film modes
645 PRO has seven color and B&W film modes inspired by classic film stock.

9. Live Preview
The Viewfinder can show you exactly what you will capture, so you can work precisely with the particular characteristics of your chosen film mode.

10. Interchangable focusing screens
Choose between crosshairs, Rule of Thirds or an architectural grid, keeping everything horizontal with the split-screen spirit level.

11. Real-time histogram
See how your image is balanced across five stops of exposure—even before you’ve taken it!

12. Essential informatiom
With its always-on LCD Display, 645 PRO shows you everything you need to know about your camera, from the ISO and shutter speed to the current flash and battery status.

Drawing its inspiration from the obsession with quality embodied by top-end Medium Format film and digital cameras, 645 PRO exists purely to help you use your iPhone as a tool for composing, taking and saving the finest possible photographs.

How to Make Origami

Description

"OK, so everyone can fold paper in half. What’s so exciting about that?" you may say. But you’ll soon think differently when you learn more about the art of origami.
Remember making paper airplanes at school? And remember how someone, instead of an airplane, made a flower, a jumping frog, or a parrot? That was like magic. And they only had their two hands and a plain piece of paper. How did they do it? We’ll show you how.
The "How to Make Origami" app is simple and easy to use. Follow the step-by-step instructions and watch the 3D animation carefully. And don’t worry, you’d have to try really hard to get confused.

"Hey, that point shouldn’t be sticking out like that!" Something went wrong? That’s because even an airplane requires concentration and patience. Let this tranquil pastime completely absorb you, and your complete relaxation is guaranteed. You know, those wise Japanese invented a great thing.

By the way, origami develops logical reasoning, attention span, spatial thinking and fine motor skills. Consider that when you’re trying to keep fidgety kids busy.

Download for free over 70 traditional origami patterns for our app.

The most famous are
- Crane
- Dinosaur
- Flower
- Duck
- Rose
- Lily
- Jumping frog
- Pigeon
- Rabbit

Fold quietly, or your boss may notice!

Would you cap that? Because I would definitely cap that.

I'd Cap That takes your everyday iPhone photos and slaps a hilarious (and often crude) caption on them. Save the photo to your library or share it with your friends right away! You'll have a blast capping your pics.

☞ Hundreds of random, hilarious captions
☞ Never repeats the same caption
☞ Send to your friends immediately
☞ Choose a pic from your library or use the camera
☞ Tweet your capped pic in the app

Do not use I'd Cap That if you are easily offended. This app is for entertainment purposes only.
