Dark Legends is a free vampire horror adventure and 3D Massively-Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). In this dark, online world you'll fight for survival alongside millions of players from around the world in co-op or pvp action.

Since time immemorial, the Vampire Nation has survived in the shadow of human civilization as a rumor and a whisper. A new light, fueled by technology and mass communication, has appeared and revealed the true existence of vampires to the world at large. Now, the Vampire Nation is desperately hunted by fearful humans that have turned to technology and the Dark Arts.

In Dark Legends, YOU rise as part of the Vampire Nation and fight to survive against a world that has turned against you! Use your supernatural strength, incredible speed, and powerful fangs to enforce your will.

FREE TO PLAY
Dark Legends is committed to a free to play experience where players may progress through all of the content and even achieve the maximum experience and power level at no cost to you. Purchasing in game "Platinum" offers you the ability to generally save time on your progress or own unique items or equipment.

PLAY WITH ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!
Dark Legends plays over virtually any connection: wireless, Edge, 3G or 4G connections and most mobile devices. Additionally, all players connect to the same game world and play on a single server set... which means you won't have any trouble finding your friends in the game world and playing alongside them anytime. In fact, players from nearly 200 countries already play Spacetime games.

Plays on iPhone 3GS+, iPod touch 3rd Generation+, and iPad+. For the best experience, we recommend iPhone 4+, iPod Touch 4th Generation+, and iPad2+.

Visible only through a scanning electron microscope, tiny nanorobots called Elenints (or Nints, for short) are built in a Molecular Nanobot Factory in the space between sheets of carbon molecules. They can't move on their own, but when they detect enough identical Elenints nearby they fuse into more complex forms - releasing a special substance called Protomatter. If you plan your Nint placement carefully, placing a single Nint can initiate a cascade of combinatorial self-assembly, creating vast amounts of Protomatter and a rare, high level Nint.

You'll need this Protomatter to keep the experiment clear of other, more radical Elenints like Creepers and Bombs, which can invade and pollute the experiment. Protomatter can be used in the Elenint Fabricator to build special Nints, such as Shields or the Binder, which can compel nearby Nints to self assemble.

Easy to learn and maddeningly addictive, Elenints is a game you can play anytime, whether you have a few minutes to spare or a few hours.

Elenints is free to play and comes with eight different challenges in normal or hard difficulty modes which you can play as many times as you like, trying to beat your high score.

Elenints can be played in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish!

More than an ordinary shape matching game, Stoned 3D brings you back to the stone age and takes your finger skills to the limit!

168

Move the board with your finger to catch the matching stones.
For some extra points try to hit the appearing dinosaurs: The faster the game gets the more points you'll receive.

But keep in mind that you only have three lives to catch as many blocks as possible! Missing one means losing a life, so better stay focused and concentrated!

Try Inspire Pro and you will quickly see that it is a painting app like no other! The key feature is the simulation of wet oil paint on canvas, allowing amazing blending effects with five real kinds of brushes. You will be stunned by what you can do with a dry brush!

Inspire Pro is not a Photoshop clone. It does NOT have layers or a large number of brushes. It does, however, have the BEST color blending capability on the App Store. Whether you're a beginner, expert, or somewhere in between, you will enjoy the simplicity and power of Inspire Pro.

258

Fully enhanced for the new iPad with laser-sharp graphics.

Brushes
- Five realistic paint brushes to choose from: a flat brush, round brush, fan brush, palette knife and clumped brush.
- Each brush comes in many different sizes and can be rotated a full 360 degrees.
- Brushes can be loaded with different amounts of paint, including no paint at all for a dry brush.
- Varying amounts of pressure can be used with a dry brush to achieve many different kinds of paint blending effects.
- All brushes can be used as an eraser, controlled by the pressure.
- The bristles of each brush act independently of each other and produce natural brush strokes that never look exactly the same.

Painting
- Two different canvas sizes to choose from: 1536 x 2048 and 2048 x 2048 (iPad 1 and 2: 768 x 1024 and 1024 x 1024).
- All device orientations are supported, all the time. Switch from portrait to landscape painting with ease.
- 1000 levels of undo and redo are available.
- A non-realistic paint mode adds versatility to the brushes, allowing you to draw and sketch as well as paint.
- Choose any paint color you can dream of right away with the natural color picker.
- You can save your favorite colors while painting with drag and drop.
- The eye dropper tool can be used to select paint colors already on the canvas.
- The canvas can be moved around and zoomed in and out up to 6400%.

Saving, Importing and Exporting
- Paintings are automatically saved in your gallery and easily exported to your Photos.
- Images can be imported from your Photos and positioned, rotated and scaled onto a new canvas.
- Paintings can be sent via email from within the app, attached as uncompressed PNG image files.
- Paintings can be uploaded directly to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
- Paintings can be printed directly from the app (iOS 4.2 or later and AirPrint printer required).
- Paintings can be exported at resolutions of up to 6 times the original in both PNG and JPEG formats using the free Inspire Exporter app available for both Windows and Mac OS.

Used to be $7.99, now for a limited time offer of $0.99

Carat is the first app to generate personalized recommendations for improving your battery life.

Ever wondered why your battery is draining so quickly? Just install Carat, open it every few days so it can send data to our servers, and within a week Carat will start recommending Actions (just for you!) and even predicting the improvements you will see. Although Carat cannot measure energy use directly, it infers what apps are responsible using advanced machine learning methods.

And it's free!

As you use your device, Carat occasionally takes measurements and sends them to our backend servers in the cloud, where we apply cutting-edge algorithms to determine what steps you can take to use less energy. By collecting snippets of non-personal data from a large number of devices, Carat does not need to run continuously in the background. Nothing we collect identifies you, personally.

Carat will tell you which apps it thinks are hogs (they use a lot of battery) and which are bugs (they use a lot of battery on your device but not most others). Being a hog or a bug does not make an app 'bad', but a user trying to improve their battery life can use these designations to adjust their behavior.

== Carat Features ==

- Action List telling you how to improve your battery life and by how much
- Device information detailing exactly what data we are recording
- Reports apps that are using lots of energy and whether that is happening on other devices, too
- Detail views let you dive down into the data and see graphs of energy use
- Low-overhead sampling requires almost no energy or CPU
- J-Score tells you how your battery efficiency compares to other users
- Sharing features let you post/tweet/blog about your experience; more users means more data which means better recommendations for you

Carat is under active development by a team of researchers in the AMP Lab at UC Berkeley. We are constantly making improvements, adding features, and giving you more knowledge about how your device is using energy. Remember, knowledge is power!

A cooking app with absolutely no recipes. Instead, KnowledgeBook: Cooking contains all the little bits of information and rules of thumb that you need to really use and understand your recipes -- what can be substituted for buttermilk or baking soda in a pinch, how many bananas it takes to make 1 cup of slices, how many cups are in a pint, what temperature an oven should be set to if the recipe calls for a "moderately hot" oven, etc.

KnowledgeBook: Cooking compiles all this information in one place, and adds much more: what can be substituted for buttermilk if you don't have vinegar? How many US cups are in an Imperial pint? (or an Australian pint?) What does it mean to papillote something? How should a slow cooker recipe be adjusted at high altitude? What temperature in Fahrenheit does Gas Mark 6 on a British stove correspond to?

With sections for Yields and Equivalents (including canning yields), Substitutions, general cooking terms, Measurement conversions, and High-Altitude considerations, KnowledgeBook: Cooking aims to be a one-stop reference for all the "extra" information needed to help you understand your recipes and get to Cooking!
