Awake-Update finally in review

Markus — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 16:29:15 +0000

Just a quick note to all people who mailed me about problems with Awake and iOS 4: An update fixing the crashes is finally in review!

Besides the fixes I also changed Awake a bit. First there will be only ads for our own Apps in it, no more AdMob-Ads. So, hopefully all those users saying I wrote a piece of spy-ware are willing to change their review? We will see…

And secondly, Awake should now work with some devices (Router/Mac/PC-Combo’s) via WLAN! So, with some setups you might not need a cable connection for the device you try to wake! I currently can’t predict what works and what not, so don’t be disappointed when it won’t work for you.

And to all People who didn’t send an e-mail (99%) but spammed the AppStore-Comments: You *do* know that I can’t answer to those comments to ask you for further assistance, right? Just asking…

iMekka 2 is ready for sale!

Markus — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:28:59 +0000

We’ve been working on iMekka for a couple of weeks now in silence, hidden in the office. :) But now iMekka 2 is ready for you to explore. iMekka 2 has way better graphics than before and it now not only shows you the direction to Mekka but it gives you the exact prayer times for your current location. Don’t worry about timezones anymore. iMekka 2 calculates the correct prayer times so you don’t have to.

Besides this, iMekka also got a new programmer. iMekka 2 was developed by Fabian Kreiser! As a result, it’s a completely new app as far as the App Store is concerned, which would mean that you would have to pay to get the upgrade. But we think, updates should be free, even if the developer changes! So, we made iMekka 2 available for free for the first week! This way we would like to say Thank You to all our existing customers. Download your new copy of iMekka 2 today!

Say Hello to Jean-Pierre!

Markus — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:09:29 +0000

Everbody, say hello to our new Partner in the Software Diner: Jean-Pierre Gensert. He is our local Entrepeneur, the man behind new App-Ideas and enterprises. :) Besides that he’s the Mega-Marketing-Machine that made iMekka one of the best selling Mekka-Apps out in the AppStore! Chances are you’ve seen his work somewhere all over the world from New York over London to Paris.

We are happy that he now joins the Team to share his experiences as an iPhone-User and App-Tester with us and you, of course. So, from now on every now and then JP will post some App-Reviews, his thoughts on the state of the world or his favourite cookie receipes…we will see!

If you got wishes, comments or hints on this, as always, feel free to contact us via comments or e-mail.

Thanksgiving = Thanks for Giving :) [Update 2]

The big ones in the AppStore seem to be very very thankful this year. Guess they all made a penny or two selling their games on the AppStore. ;)
Anyway, for the rest of us this means a lot of fun during the holydays and beyond. The big ones like Namco, Electronic Arts and Gameloft reduced many of their titels to as low as $0.79! So, just get wild and buy some…

After the break we have a list of the games that we consider the ones you have to buy. If new ones are added, we will let you know!

Ravensword is now available!

Markus — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:10:30 +0000

Ravensword, the highly anticipated new role playing game is now available on the AppStore. After first review, Apple rejected the game due to it’s use of the UNITY-Engine but now, things seem cool again. The UNITY-Engine was changed and Ravensword was uploaded for review again and there it is. No reason to leave the iPhone-Market just yet… ;o)

So, If you ask me, this game looks absolutely fantastic…will give it a try someday soon…for now, here’s the official game trailer for you:
