Music can put the calm in your day when all else fails and you have lost the ability to cope with one more ridiculous problem or irritable client. It's at times like these you just need to sit back and let the music wash over you for its soothing effect. Probably you have a speaker dock where you can blast your music, although unless you get a high-end model, it won't sound like first-class stereo. But what if you could put on your headset and have the music delivered to you alone in gorgeous, clear sound?

appHiFi emulator provides this amazing kind of sound with your headphones on. In fact, you can choose from several ways to enjoy your music. Take a look at some of these unique qualities which this iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad audio and music 3D app delivers:

- HiFi sound- creates remarkable clarity and definition from your music
- Dynamic volume function- adjusts the volume of your music
- Access to your entire music library
- 3 high end HiFi systems emulated - also called (3 ROOMS)
- 3 EQ- for all headphone styles
- 2 EQ optimized for headphones provided by Apple (4/4S)
- A sleek yet simple, eye-catching interface

Let's think about the word "emulator" in the app's title. Well, an emulator is hardware or software that duplicates the functions of something so that the emulated or duplicated behavior is very similar to the real thing! Wearing your headphones and using appHiFi emulator is touted by the developer to be akin to sitting in a home theater. It's true because you could be out on the streets, in the subway or in the park enjoying the beauty of this home theater, 3-D sound.

Launch appHiFi to a gorgeous, high tech screen showing the Peak Power Level in decibels (or audio loudness) of your music. You can tap to change the color of the audio display. Tap the button named Open underneath this to select songs from your music library. You will be warned that this app is designed to be used with a headset, as playing the music without it won't give you the same cutting edge sound. Use the play control buttons to go back and forth or pause your music. A banner screen states the current status of the music, the band and song.

The 3 buttons labeled Rooms reproduce audio heard from 3 different HiFi systems. Check them out to see which kind of sound you prefer. Additionally, to enhance the already great quality of your songs, try using using one of the 3 preset EQ or equalizer options. Lastly, tap the HiFi button to listen to your music with or without HiFi 2.1. All these preset buttons make it easy to enjoy your music intuitively without fussing with controls to get the sound right.

The rooms each lend a different kind of sound to your music, along with the pre-set equalizer buttons. (I think I'm hooked on Room 1). Tap the HiFi button to turn off this clear sound and revert to regular sound. appHiFi emulator is a revolutionary way to listen to music that's been pumped up with crystal clear, 3-D sound.

COOL CONCLUSION: Put on your headphones, launch appHiFi emulator, and enjoy 3-D crystal clear, audio sound that can transport your mind away to your zen spot, without disturbing anyone else or requiring an expensive theater system in your home!

GameFit Racing (Exercise Powered Offroad Race Track Fitness Game)

Developer Quote: "GameFit Racing is a totally new and fun way to work out! In this 3D racing game, the harder you exercise, the faster your vehicles go!"

- COST: Free     - APP STORE STARS: 5
- Categories: 3D, Entertainment, Games, Lifestyle, Native, Sim, Sports, Universal

For some of us, exercise is a way of life and a day cannot pass without engaging in some type of physical activity. For others (a-hem, no names will be mentioned here!), exercise is done as a duty to fulfill the requirements of health and weight control, not necessarily because of a great love of activity! GameFit Racing (Exercise Powered Offroad Race Track Fitness Game) is an altogether unique new way to blend the best of both worlds together. It creates a more interesting environment for those who don't love working out, or can be a fun sidekick for those who do! In fact, this is a 3D racing game where the harder and more challenging the exercise, the quicker your vehicles will travel! Some creative features of this 3D, simulation exercise and fitness universal iPhone game are as follows:

♦ Arcade-style Racing Action
♦ Cool 4x4 Offroad Vehicles
♦Jumps, Crashes and Slides
♦Responsive to Exercise Intensity
♦ Distance and Difficulty Modes
♦ Automatic or Manual Steering
♦ Designed for Handheld Use
♦ Designed for Holder Use
♦ iPod Player or in-Game Music

Use with many exercise machines such as:

♦ Recumbent Exercise Bikes
♦ Upright Exercise Bikes
♦ Elliptical Machines
♦ Steppers
♦ Striders
♦ Rowing Machines

The game is powered by exercise, but note that it is not recommended for use with treadmills. As you set your game according to the machine you are on, it will calibrate or set a vibrating profile from which your vehicles will get their cue. Set the number of laps, set difficulty level of easy, normal, hard or insane, check off Auto Steer if you wish, and start your race! The trucks are off and running, flying through the air as they jostle each other to first place. The speedometer keeps track of speed, while laps and time elapsed are displayed.



There is excellent simulation and excitement here that will certainly grab your attention as you go through your exercise routine - for me, this is a lifesaver on the elliptical! This app is definitely a great toy (or tool) to keep handy with you on workout days to make burning those calories loads more fun!

COOL CONCLUSION: Creative thinking and app engineering is behind the simulated, 3D GameFit Racing where daily exercise becomes playtime as you calibrate this app to your exercise machine for a stimulating and calorie burning workout!

If you love your top and want another, just tap the cosmic button so that a new series is produced.

The whirring, swirling top is a feast of color for the eyes. The tricks and sounds are just pure delight and require no more than a touch or two from you.

If you enjoy the hypnotic effect of aquariums, but really don't have the money or time to invest in one, why not try out a virtual one? There's lots of reasons to do this: aquariums are a stress reliever, they provide entertainment, they are quite beautiful and you can learn a bit about an assortment of fish from them.

Just relax as you enjoy the show! There are 48 types of gorgeous tropical fish that mimic the real thing with their antics, and moreover, you can interact with these beauties! Choose the types of fish you want to live in the aquarium, feed them and watch their reactions when you tap on the screen (or glass tank).

My favorite activities are feeding the fish and knocking on the glass. Want to see these vibrant colored fish on your big screen? You can hook in to your TV via HDMI and see them come alive as large as life. There are 2 cameras in the app that permit varying views. One zooms in on the fish thus following its movements - you can swipe to move the display of scenery around.

Roxie's Doors

Developer Quote: "The award-winning storybook Doors, by Roxie Munro, is now available as a lift the flap 3-D search book."
 

- COST: $2.99    - APP STORE STARS: N/A
- Categories: 3D, Books, Education, Elementary School, Entertainment, Games, Native, Preschool

A while ago, we wrote about an excellent children's app called Roxie's A-MAZE-ing Vacation Adventure. What differentiated this app was the huge attention to details and animations, along with superb children's graphics. We were very happy to see another book in the Roxie line appear on the App Store this week. Again, you and your children will enjoy super graphics, animation, interactivity and adventure with the all-new Roxie's Doors.

With Roxie's Doors, your child may read to himself or herself, if possible. Otherwise, the narrator will read the story beautifully. The theme of this book is that a child and his dog are entering a world of fantasy which is hidden behind 9 doors (otherwise known in physical books as peek-a-boo flaps)! The scene behind each door is totally different and deals with a unique setting. Scenes include a Firehouse, Train, Barn, Boathouse, Fridge, Space Rocket, Actor's Closet, Mechanic's Garage and Doctor's Office. Some of the magical features of Roxie's Doors are as follows:

- A beautiful 3-D experience with hand drawn graphics
- Text in rhyme, read to you by the author
- Option to read the book yourself
- Tilt the screen and reveal hidden corners of the screen
- Over 100 animated objects
- Challenge children to stimulate their curiosity

As you progress through the book, you will open one door at a time to enjoy reading in rhyme. All pages encourage the reader to look for objects and "and an apple, too!" In every scene, kids will see familiar and new items that will delight and teach them as they look for certain objects. As you discover each object, it will chime and glow. In fact, throughout this storybook, you will be able to find and animate over 100 hidden items! Look for them in drawers, cabinets and chests by tapping those items. Increase children's vocabulary by searching for those highlighted words that are illustrated.

A couple of my favorite scenes are the the firetruck where the fireman slides down the pole, and you can hear the fire house sirens and see the lights flashing on the fire truck. I also enjoyed the actor's clothes closet where an old trunk opens to colorful accessories, you can hear the cat purr and open a door to see an actress getting ready. The real amazing scene to me, though, is the train where you can see the train actually sway from side to side as you are standing in the threshold of the door. Unzip the luggage overhead if you dare!



This book is designed to absorb your child and his natural curiosity with many sounds and sights. What makes it more engrossing for this age group are the rhyming words which have a sing-song quality. At any time, swipe down on the red Pull tag on top of your display to see all the doors through which you may venture. You may also turn off the narration and sounds here, if you choose. Tap the right and left arrows to move forwards and backwards through the story. The mystery and excitement of hidden adventures in Roxie's Doors will pique and enthrall your child's interest no end!

COOL CONCLUSION: "Roxie's Doors is a fascinating peek-a-boo book of discovery that will enthrall and teach your child with gorgeous illustrations and settings."

Have you seen the cool moves of break dancing novices and stars on TV or on stage live? The rhythm and beat of the music combined with the flexible gyrations of the dancers is pretty amazing! I'd have to guess it takes a great amount of skill to perfect such synchronized moves. You may not be able to perform such on-the-beat body movements, but do you have the rhythm in your head to compete against these awesome dancers? There's only one way to find out, and Breakdance Champion Red Bull BC One is it! This is where you get to simulate those terrific dancers in a DDR fashion similar to "Tap Tap games".

Here's a bit of history to get you in the know about this type of creative dancing. Starting in the late 70s, B-Boying became quite popular, and 
today a well-connected B-Boy scene exists worldwide. 
One of the most important B-Boy competitions is the Red Bull BC One, where 16 of the world's best B-Boys meet to compete and to determine in a 1-on-1 knock-out-battle who is “The One”. Extraordinary skill, vibrant and and animated character are all part of what it takes to win! 
This year, the Red Bull BC One will be held in Tokyo. Japan has a lively Hip Hop scene, and so the event is awaited with great expectations since Japanese B-Boy, Taisuke, is one of the favorites this year. 



In this musical app, you must show your coolest moves to get the most applause. Twist, turn and hit the floor to take the lead with moves from Roxrite, Lilou, Cico, Hong 10, Taisuke, Pelezino and Ronnie (the best of the B-Boys). Although you don't actually have to get up and dance, this game lets you use your fingers to keep the beat so your character B-Boy wins the fame and acclaim! Here are some of the features of this ultra cool, DDR, rhythm iPhone, iPad game:

- Enjoy 40+ hours of adrenaline fueled B-Boy fun
- Experience staggering motion-captured moves from 7 of the world’s best B-Boys
- Become one of the stars in the most important international B-Boy competitions, throw down the greatest moves and stay on beat
- 28 levels with easy & hard taplines master them to make it into the B-Boy hall of fame
- Realistically transported dance choreography – about 650 motion-captured moves - from real-world stars!
- 14 famous international locations in 3D provide varied atmospheres for the big challenges
- Famous voice actor “Zurek” acts as MC and guides through the contests
- Apple Game Center integration allows users to bring in friends and soon-to-be-friends on all the action. Invite someone to join, then get the game going and move up the leader boards. Meet your match and score! 

- Crazy moves, extreme motions, spectacular light effects and fireworks put the player right into the action loaded crowd
- 29 licensed B-Boy sound tracks fuel the battles

Open the app and select from Play, get Help, view Options, Credits and Achievements. Choose to play with Game center if you like sharing achievements. Help explains very simply how to play, using illustrations and directions. Tap the similar colored arrows at the same time as the colored bars raining down from the break dancer are about to enter the slot in the boombox. Don't tap too soon or you'll get beeped! Still, there are some helpful and time-saving tricks you should know. Here's a couple to clue you in! Linked taps means press and hold the arrow button (so you don't have to tap twice). Also, you can drag your tap across lanes as the color changes.

I debuted my dancing in Switzerland (one of the many locations), and I did a terrible job at first. But, by my second time around, I was right on cue and moving with the rhythm! Remember, the closer your tap to the beat, the higher your score, and brilliant flashes will indicate your timing is perfect! Choose from among several countries' brilliant and famous dancers, as well as select your preferred level of play. Your scores will be listed on the bio flag for the country you have chosen to imitate. Post your scores online if you're proud of what you've done! This game is really terrific for all ages, and you will find yourself playing over and over till you tap to perfection. I'm not one for addiction, but let's just say this could be a first! Is it the challenge, the music, the applause, the vibrant 3D color graphics, or what?
