Update: 8Mansions Fengshui (lifestyle) is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website


8Mansions Fengshui 1.1

Category: Lifestyle
Price: $0.99 (iTunes)
Version: 1.0 -> 1.1

src="http://images.appshopper.com/screenshots/339/488664.jpg"
align="right">Description:

8Mansions Fengshui for the iPhone makes authentic Chinese FengShui simple and practical for everyday life. Every time you walk into a meeting and are not sure where to sit, use this application to determine your best facing direction and grab that chair! Whether having dinner with friends, engaged in yoga or doing meditation at home, studying or simply resting/sleeping, use 8Mansions Fengshui to ensure you always receive auspicious Qi energy by facing your good directions and avoid getting bad Qi energy from your unfavorable directions.



How it Works:



In the Eight Mansions school of Chinese Fengshui or Geomancy, each person is assigned a Kua number that is calculated using his/her date of birth and gender. Based on that Kua number, there are eight magnetic compass directions that bring different Qi energies which affect a person's life in different ways. These eight directions are different for each Kua number.



Of the eight directions, four of them bring auspicious Qi energy and should be tapped into, while the other four bring unfavorable Qi and should be avoided. 8Mansions Fengshui for the iPhone first computes your personal Kua number using your date of birth and your gender. After that, the app uses the iPhone's built-in compass to determine whether the current direction will bring good auspicious Qi energy luck or negative unfavorable Qi energy.

Update: X-Plane 9 (games) is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website


X-Plane 9 9.50

Category: Games
Price: $9.99 (iTunes)
Version: 9.40 -> 9.50

src="http://images.appshopper.com/screenshots/290/619945.jpg"
align="right">Description:

Hullo! APOLLO and GLIDER are now approved by Apple, and filtering to the stores now! They will be visible on the store soon, if not now! Links are available at the top of X-Plane.com now!



As well, we will get the ILS's back in, and the external views closer, for 9.50 as a FREE update shortly!



austin



And now, on with the show!



X-Plane for Mac, Windows, and Linux (www.X-Plane.com) is the most flexible and realistic flight simulator on the market for desktop personal computers. Using blade element theory for the most powerful and accurate flight model available for personal computers, and earning FAA certification for logging of flight time for pilots, X-Plane is the Gold Standard for accurate flight simulation, offering realism that is unmatched by any other simulator.



And now, thanks to the power of the iPhone and iPodTouch, X-Plane is available for these stunning little platforms. As in the full desktop version, X-Plane for iPhone lets you experiment with different times of day, weather, sky conditions, wind, turbulence and airplanes, all while flying the craft from various different views in the stunning terrain topography of Innsbruck, Austria, home to some of the most challenging mountains and topography for aviation.



We here at Laminar Research are still a bit shell-shocked at how powerful this little device is, and how much power in flight simulation can be stuffed into it… the power of X-Plane can now be had with you… anywhere.

What’s New

As requested:



External views are closer in to the aircraft again, as requested.

Circling view stays aircaft-path relative at normal flight speeds now.

This allows the circling view to always stay BEHIND the plane, if desired.

ILS's should all be present and functional.





Cool new stuff I thought to add for you:



A cool new indicator to help you spot other planes… a simple rectangle surrounding them on the HUD, so you can always spot them!

This is useful for multiplay sessions, Extreme, Racing, and especially CARRIER, where you gotta shoot the other guys down!

This system is modeled after the system seen in modern fighter jets.



Flight model improvements that you will really notice in the warbirds… we now have spiraling propwash!

This really kicks the tail around in just the same way we see in the REAL birds when power is added for take-off.



As well, better flight-control auto-assist with rudder… which is really needed for those warbirds!

This helps with the Cessna 172 a bit as well… it makes it a bit more realistic.



If you crash, you catch on fire.

And burn.







Continuing refinements:



Yet a hair more frame-rate optimization as we squeeze out every last bit of performance.

Sound stays fully functional in all views.

User interface for the main flight screen tweaked ever so slightly for perfect consistency.

Flap position indicator behind the selector so you can see where the flaps are at any given moment as they deploy.

"Center" button on map to center on your plane.

Refinements in sky color for more realism and variety.

Dozens of other small refinements based on large amounts of feedback from testers.
