Profiler Version 2.0 Coming Out

Just a quick post - I've taken Profiler out of the Appstore since it now crashes on iOS 5.1. I've fully revamped the application from scratch, putting in what I think is a better UI. I've submitted the application to Apple and just waiting for them to approve it. Above is a screenshot of the new UI. I'll keep you guys posted once it comes out.

MoreFunogram - It's More Fun in the Philippines

MoreFunogram is out! It's an iPhone app that lets you create your own It's More Fun in the Philippines photos and post it on Twitter, Facebook or save it back to your photo albums.

It's easy to use - just start the application, select a photo or take one using the iPhone camera, type the text that you want to appear, and then you're shown a photo with your customized text on top. You can position the text anywhere you want, and when you're done you can tap a button to tweet it, post it on Facebook, or save it into your photo albums.

Some users have pointed out a couple of bugs - I've fixed them and the update is currently being approved by Apple.

Scary Alarms

Just in time for Halloween, my new application, Scary Alarms is out!

Scare your friends and family silly with surprising scary sounds! Just choose a scary sound, set the date and time, and the phone will play a scary sound to surprise anyone nearby! It works even when the app is not active or closed!

There are 10 scary sounds that you can choose from:
- MUMMY
- OWL
- CAT
- SCARY LAUGH 1
- SCARY LAUGH 2
- SCREAM
- DEATH SCREAM
- THUNDER
- WITCH LAUGH
- RINGING PHONE

After setting the alarm, make sure the volume is on maximum and hide your phone from plain sight for a better scare! Great to use in the following situations:

1. A sleeping roommate!
2. A studying classmate!
3. A partner alone in the bedroom!
4. A family member alone in the house!

New Twictures Version On the Way!

I've submitted a new version of Twictures to the Appstore. The version fixes the bug introduced when twitter migrated all links to their t.co URL shortening service. Once the update is available, people will be able to view the photos and videos again.

Thanks for the patience guys!

New iPhone Application Twictures Lets People Easily View Photos and Videos from Their twitter Stream.

I'm glad to announce today the release of Twictures, a new iPhone application that lets people instantly view pictures, photos and videos from their twitter stream in a gorgeous, slick interface. Each photo or video is shown on screen, and users can easily reply, retweet or favorite each post. Tapping the photo or video will let the user view them in full screen.

Twictures shows photos and videos in a continuous stream for easy viewing. All the user needs to do is swipe up to reveal the next post, and a simple tap will play any video. Currently, Twictures supports photos from instagram, twitpic, plixi, lockerz, imgurl, posterous and yfrog and videos from YouTube. The developer promises to add support for more photo and video sites in later updates.

Another fantastic feature of Twictures is that it lets users share their own photos to twitter. Before uploading the photos, it lets users apply various effects and filters to each photo - sepia, grayscale, brightness, contrast and other lomo effects. Users can apply multiple effects to the same photo, making each creation unique!

Text Groups for the iPhone

Do you send text messages to a group of people over and over again? Maybe you have a group of friends or colleagues that you usually text/SMS all at the same time? Or maybe you usually send the same message to a person or group of persons? Then Text Groups is the application for you.
Text Groups allows you to create groups from your contacts, and you can easily access these groups to send a text message, without adding each contact again and again. You specify a group name, a default message, and even a group icon so that you can differentiate between groups. You can then add, edit and remove contacts easily, and even define new phone numbers not coming from your phone's address book.

Text Groups uses in-app SMS, which allows you to send the group text message without leaving the application, making the experience easy and seamless.

Yes folks, it's my new iPhone app. Download it from here.

iPhone Apps Featured on TV and in Print

Credit: ANC

It is with great pride that I share with you two articles that came out in print and online about the iPhone apps that I've built. I was contacted by a major daily (Businessworld) and they interviewed me about my iPhone apps. Coincidentally, a news TV channel (ANC) also contacted me to appear in a live TV interview.
Suffice to say, the experience has encouraged me to work harder on my iPhone apps. They may not be bringing in the revenue that I expect, but I am sure that somewhere in the world, I have helped someone with one or two of my apps.

I'm sharing with you the two articles that were written about me:

Entreprenews - Digital Diversions

ABS-CBN News: Extra Raket Anyone?

I would also like to invite everyone to buy the August issue of Sense and Style magazine. I have a review article on the iPhone 4.
