Keep track of the awesome things you let your friends borrow. Stop writing down on little notes or mental notes who’s got what of your stuff. Share A Lot Lite makes it easy to manage all the different types of things you so generously lend to your friends.

Better Photography on your iPhone with Camera+

kevinmorris22 — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:26:18 +0000

There is an old saying among photographers, “Which is the best camera? Answer: The one you have with you.”. This has never been more true since the iPhone came on the scene. Now millions of people have a digital camera at the ready any time a photo opportunity arises. But is the camera app that comes with the iPhone the best or is there a better app out there to make your iPhone a true digital camera?

Camera+ for the iPhone is the best camera app for the iPhone I have tested to date. There are other apps that attempt to replace the native camera app, and some that have photo editing features, but Camera+ combines both in to one great app.

Camera+ $1.99

Features:

Touch Exposure & Focus:
- Set exposure separately from focus for the ultimate control of your shots… simply touch with a 2nd finger while focusing to adjust exposure until your shot is perfect. This feature is great for getting the photos exposed the way you want, not the way the camera chooses [available on iPhone 4 and 3GS on iOS4 only]
Photo Flashlight to brighten up your photos…
- Use the iPhone 4 LED flash as a continuous fill light to improve photo quality, especially for portrait and macro shots. Good feature for indoors, but the light is a little dim for outdoor fill.
No more blurry shots…
- Use the stabilizer to steady your camera and get the sharpest pics you can.
Put an end to crooked pics…
- Use the grid to line up your shots and eliminate unsightly angled photos. The grid lines up over the display helping you apply the rule of thirds and line up the horizon.
Highest quality zoom…
- Camera+ has a 5× digital zoom that simply blows away the competition in terms of quality.
Scene modes and flash…
- Most modern digital cameras all have scene modes to help you get the best photos for your particular situation. And why shouldn’t your iPhone have this great feature? Well, with Camera+, you get to choose from several scene modes including Backlit, Sunset, Night, Portrait, Beach, and many more. If you just want great looking shots with the least amount of fuss, just tap Auto and watch your lifeless pics come alive. And for the times when your photos came out too dark, we have a high quality digital flash to make them look great.
Crops let you frame your pics perfectly…
- If you didn’t line up your shot perfectly when you took it, you can easily fix that with Camera+. And when you want to get a bit creative, we setup a bunch of popular crop sizes for you. With a single tap, you can make your pics square, 4×6, 8×10, etc. We’ve even included a “golden ratio” crop to get the most aesthetically pleasing results.
Dozens of amazing effects…
- We partnered with professional photographer, Lisa Bettany, to bring you a slew of stunningly beautiful effects. With a single tap, you can transform a soulless pic into a work of art. Make your photos shimmer with “HDR”… get down and dirty with “Grunge”… fill your pics with emotion and despair with “So Emo”. And this is just the tip of the iceberg… there are dozens of 1-touch effects for you to experiment with so that you can get the perfect result every time.
Wrap it all up with stylish borders…
- With Camera+, you get several great border designs so that you can put the finishing touch on your photos.
Share your creations…
- Whether you want to show your results to your friends and family or the whole world, Camera+ has got you covered. Share your pics on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. Or go the simple route and email them from right within the app.

Picture 1 of 4

I went out with camera+ and took some photos of one of my favorite past times, my motorcycle, to test out some of the features listed here. The app offers a lot of camera features over the standard app that comes with the phone. My favorites were: exposure control, fill light, and the stabilizer. These three features turned the iPhone camera in to a functional digital camera.

The exposure control is huge because it allows the photographer to adjust the cameras exposure to the subject rather than letting the camera try to guess the exposure or subject. Too many photos I have taken with the iPhone have a blown out subject or under exposed subject because the camera guessed wrong on what I was trying to shoot. Exposure is set with a second finger on the display, similar to setting focus. With the second finger you can easily tell the iPhone what is the subject and the camera will then set exposure accordingly. Not quite manual controls but much better than nothing.

Another nice feature is the image stabilization. This allows the camera to return fewer blurry shots when shooting in low light conditions.

Camera+ also has a cool light room table. This table holds all of your photos after they have been taken and before they are sent to your Photo Gallery. From here you can delete, edit, crop, add effects, add borders and more. There are some really nice effects that can be applied easily to your photos and saved to the iPhones albums when you are done.

The only negative I see for this app is that it is strictly a still photo app. If you want to shoot video you will have to exit the app and switch to the iPhone’s native camera app. My solution to this was to place both apps is a new folder called Photography so I can easily switch between them. Camera+ also supports multi tasking so you can quickly switch between apps by double clicking the home button.

I test a lot of apps writing reviews for iPhoneAppReview.com. To be honest, not many of them keep a permanent place on my iPhone and even fewer find their way to the front page of apps on my home screen. Camera+ is an exception. It is a well thought out application that adds a great deal of value to the camera on your iPhone. If you are having trouble getting photos you are happy with from your iPhone give Camera+ a try, you will not be disappointed.

In addition, the dynamic architecture of the system lets dealerships update product media in real-time, allowing them to simply push the new content to users, without having to re-develop or update the app.

A private AutoMotionTV product launch event took place on April 28^thin Minneapolis. Company president, Ben Anderson, presented a keynote address to a host of manufacturers and national agency representatives. A webcast of the event can be found on the company’s website, at Go.AutoMotionTV.com.

Garden Buddy for the Iphone gardener version 2.0 and metric version released

islandapps — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 14:21:48 +0000

Paranaque City, Philippines, June 12, 2010 –(PR.com)– Island Apps announces the release of Garden Buddy version 2.0, and Garden Buddy metric version, with both products available on the i Tunes App Store. These applications are compatible with all Apple platforms including: iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

Island Apps continues to innovate and expand the functionality of its Garden Buddy product line with the release of version 2.0 and the metric version. Both new Garden Buddy editions feature a more elegant user interface, and have significant upgrades in application functionality. These new applications utilize the native GPS location services on the iphone, to allow users to locate many different categories of garden related supplies, garden and landscape service providers, and garden and park attractions near them. The location results are dynamic content, and represent resources available in a 50 mile (80 Km) radius of the user’s location. Users receive full details from their category inquiry including: Business name, full address, contact information, distance away. With the click of different buttons in the app, users can: directly call the business, add the business to their contacts (with full detail), display a map with user and business locations clearly marked (with highlighted route), and call up a list of turn by turn driving instructions. These location context based features work worldwide and in real time. Apple platforms without GPS location sensing (iPad, and iPod Touch) can still use this functionality by entering the user postal codes, to identify user location.

This new functionality allows users to discover new places to visit such as community gardens and parks, as well as locate new service providers, and interesting places nearby to shop for gardening related items. The features work in all developed countries around the world. The new Garden Buddy releases also include an expanded plant database with more information than the original app version.

Matthew Trachtenberg founder and CEO of Island Apps had this to say:

“Garden Buddy version 2.0 and Garden Buddy metric version represent the new breed of location context aware applications that Island Apps is focused on building. This major release also demonstrates Island Apps capability to serve the global market with location and contextually relevant mobile Apps. We anticipate strong demand for Garden Buddy metric version in the European, and Asia Pacific markets. I am thrilled with the level of functionality in these new products and fully appreciate the hard work of the teams engaged responsible for developing them. Island Apps has identified several hundred niche areas that we are evaluating for our portfolio of mobile Apps. These upcoming apps will incorporate location context aware features, like the new Garden Buddy apps, and they will also incorporate other very interesting proprietary technologies. Information on these new technologies will be made public in the near future. Island Apps continues to build our world class international development teams. We remain focused upon exceeding our customer’s expectations, while driving shareholder value through our low cost business model.”

Strip Now Syncs Your Password Security

azetetic — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:21:44 +0000

With the release of Strip Sync, Zetetic Enteprises makes Strip, our password manager app, even more convenient and secure than before. I hope you’ll check it out.

Strip ($9.99), Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords, safeguards your passwords, financial details and personal data from prying eyes, device loss or theft. We’ve been protecting mobile passwords ever since there were mobile passwords to protect. More than a decade strong, this program originated with the Palm Pilot, and has been aged with care to make Strip the oldest and most effective password manager in the App Store.

As I’m sure you’ve seen, many password managers and mobile wallet apps provide some common features, but Strip differentiates in a few key ways:

1. Most password managers straight-jacket you with restrictive templates, but not Strip. You design your own data lock-box, customizing everything including categories to match your organizational style, entry fields (usernames, passwords, websites notes etc), and 40 professionally designed color icons. Your information is unique, so Strip adapts to suit your specific needs. Strip is the most flexible password manager available today and you can use it to store virtually anything.
2. Strip is fully optimized for a mobile workflow. Navigation through categories and entries is very quick, but we also provide a recently viewed tab that instantly displays the last 20 entries to make repetitive recall even faster. Folks with very large databases (some of our users have hundreds or thousands of data items stored) can use the full text search function to quickly pull up records. Most importantly, when adding fields, Strip provides a “frequently used” recall feature, so if you use the same username or email address on multiple accounts you can choose a previously used value in only a few taps to save a ton of typing. In the latest version you can copy / paste data elements to the clipboard and launch external applications (i.e. websites, dial telephone, send email). Finally, the interface is designed to operate in a manner similar to the Contacts app, so that it is instantly familiar to even new users.
3. Strip is the only Password Manager and Data Vault that uses open source, peer-reviewed full-database encryption technology. Called SQLCipher, the data store for Strip uses established security practices like CBC mode encryption, PBKDF2 key derivation, randomized initialization vectors, and unique per-database salts. It further takes advantage of the widely trusted and peer-reviewed OpenSSL for cryptographic functions.

Other advantageous features include:
✓ 256-bit AES Encryption and secure password protection for 100% of your data
✓ Full text searching and recently-viewed entry list
✓ Shake-n-Make password generator
✓ Quick copy / paste between applications
✓ Launch websites, telephone calls, and emails straight from App
✓ Native look and easy to use interface that is similar to built-in iPhone applications
✓ Synchronization and backup with the free Strip Sync companion for Mac OS X and Windows

And now there’s another killer feature to add to the list. Strip Sync raises Strip from exceptional to unrivaled. A free companion utility for Mac OS X and Windows, Strip Sync allows Strip users to:

· Replicate databases onto multiple devices: desktops, iPads, other iPhones etc.
· Perform file-based back ups and authoritative restore capability for data loss
· Import and export from CSV spreadsheet files
· Save a back up of its current state right before each sync, so that the previous copy is available

Your house deserves a security system—so do your bank accounts. To prevent hackers from breaking and entering, Strip users obtain a different key for each of their locks. Strip Sync provides multiple hiding places for those keys.
