Pocket Coach price drop!
Pocket Coach price drop! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Pocket Coach iPhone App Announces Price Drop! Now @ just $2.99
Apollo Innovations, has rather generously reduced the price of its hot personal management iPhone app, Pocket Coach, now weighing in at just $ 2.99.
Apollo Innovations has recently announced a price cut for their iPhone release Pocket coach. For a limited period, this unique personal management app will be available for only $2.99. Pocket Coach is a popular iphone lifestyle application, which was specifically designed to help individuals discover, determine and accomplish their goals, to get better in several facets of their lives. Most of the goal-setting apps on iTunes are limited to very fewer functions or even some apps focus a specific aspect. But Pocket Coach is entirely different from them, which offers multifarious-functional application that was designed to be the only reliable iphone app for goal-setting and achievement.
Listed below are some of the personal management features in the app:
*22 daily exercises designed precisely to accelerate the goal-achieving process
*Core exercise process including powerful processes such as visualizations and affirmations
*Push notification instant alerts that remind you of your personal development and goals
*Stepping-Stone Calendar designed for daily goal-related tasks
*Weekly and monthly Accountability Reports that hold you accountable to your goals
*30, 60, 90 day goal-setting structure
*Suggested Reading list with book recommendations that accompany a goal-achieving lifestyle
Commenting about the price reduction, Apollo Innovations, the developer of ‘Pocket Coach’ said, “we all know the shelf life of both critically & commercially successful apps on the App Store. It’s a sort of tricky concept at its best, since it is heavily shaped by perceived value. Pocket Coach is now down to $2.99 – for a limited time at least. At Apollo Innovations, we presumably took this decision in order to get this personal management app kick-started back up the charts. The fact that our Pocket Coach lasted more than five weeks in the top charts at the old price of $4.99 is much encouraging.”
Pocket Coach can assist the users in achieving their goals that once seemed too far off or even unrealistic. The app comprises a powerful calendar system that will render step-by-step path towards a user’s goals. Pocket Coach can be set to monitor a user’s daily core exercises, and additional supplemental exercises, assisting him in the process of goal-achievement. The app utilizes push notification to alert and remind the user that he has to complete the exercises, by time. Most significantly, users can monitor their progress with weekly and monthly reports generated by the app which will include information about the user’s personal development and task completion. Finally, using the reports, a user can identify the area that needs to be improved and also his success in accomplishing the tasks.
Device Requirements
* iPhone or iPod Touch 3.0 or later
Pricing and Availability
Pocket Coach is immediately available for $2.99 (USD).

CoPilot releases free GPS app!
CoPilot releases free GPS app! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Free CoPilot Live GPS navigation app now available for iPhone
Free lifetime turn-by-turn map guidance via CoPilot® Live Directions comes with free 30-day trial of premium voice-guided GPS navigation throughout USA and Canada
Princeton, N.J. – iPhone users in North America can now download a free app that provides lifetime turn-by-turn GPS map guidance with CoPilot® Live Directions™. The app, from GPS navigation pioneer ALK Technologies, Inc., gives you a 30-day Free trial of the full GPS navigation app for iPhone with premium features such as voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation and 3D map displays throughout the US and Canada. After 30 days, users can opt to continue using premium voice-guided GPS navigation with a 12-month or 30-day subscription via in-app purchase ($19.99 and $2.99 respectively), or they can simply continue to enjoy free lifetime use of map-only turn-by-turn directions.
In addition to breakthrough affordability, CoPilot Live Directions takes a more flexible approach to map management. As with all CoPilot Live products, detailed street maps are stored on the phone, not downloaded per trip. However with CoPilot Live Directions, customers can choose how much or little of North America’s road network they wish to store on their iPhone. After installing the app, simply download your choice of map from in-app to iPhone via WiFi: either the complete map of North America (1.3GB) or individual maps of the states you need (approx 50MB).
Michael Kornhauser, Managing Director at ALK Technologies said, “With CoPilot Live Directions, we are making full-featured turn-by-turn GPS navigation for iPhone more affordable, more flexible and more accessible than ever. With a choice of features, mapping and subscriptions, including free map-based directions, there’s now a CoPilot to suit all types of traveler and every level of budget.”
Key features in CoPilot Live Directions:
- 30 days free full-featured CoPilot Live navigation with Text to Speech voice guidance, 3D maps and advanced trip planning
- Free lifetime use turn-by-turn directions with automatic route calculation and 2D maps
- Full street level maps of the US and Canada
- Detailed street maps downloaded via WiFi and stored on the iPhone, so there’s no need to rely on your data network for navigation
- Navigate to a street address or one of millions of businesses using integrated real-time local search
- Free CoPilot LiveLink location sharing lets friends and family know where you are via the Internet, Facebook or on-screen in CoPilot on their own phone
Customers who prefer to download the complete map of the US and Canada via iTunes rather than WiFi can do so by purchasing the lifetime use, full-featured CoPilot Live North America GPS navigation app via the AppStore.

KamAlert turns your device into a mobile security system!
KamAlert turns your device into a mobile security system! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Mobile Revolution in Personal Security
With the KamAlert iPhone application, iPhone users can have peace of mind, security and personal safety at all times, everywhere they go. This clever piece of software turns a mobile phone into a totally autonomous camera surveillance and Personal Alarm System and will send SMS texts, emails and photos if the user is in trouble.
There are two key features of this software:
- Surveillance mode to detect movement and take photos of intruders
- Two Help Buttons which can be pressed in case of either a medical emergency or if the user is in personal danger to alert the authorities
Surveillance Mode
KamAlert is the only iPhone application with a surveillance mode which converts an iPhone into a camera surveillance system. When the surveillance mode has been set, the phone will detect any continuous motion or change in light and immediately takes photos of the intruder(s). Once the photos have been taken, it sequentially sends SMS text messages, and photos via emails to the programmed contacts.
This is an inexpensive product which can be used to temporarily monitor an unoccupied property, an office with sensitive information stored in it, a hotel room, or even a room in a house which should not be entered, in place of a costly security system.
Emergency Help Button
The second useful feature of this application are the panic buttons. These can be set to quickly get help if there is a medical emergency, or the user is in personal danger from an attack or mugging. This application will give peace of mind for lone people in threatening situations, people with known health conditions who are concerned about leaving the house alone and parents who want to know that their children can easily get help should there be a problem.
To set this function, simply press either the Medical Emergency or Personal Danger Buttons to convert the phone screen to a “Help Button”. This button, if touched, will send SMS messages and emails including the exact GPS location of the user to the contacts entered into the Settings. There is a choice of up to three contacts for each of the Medical and Personal Danger modes. Selected contacts can include the ambulance service or police.
Developing KamAlert
The founding partners of KamAlert come from a background in the security business and identified a hole in the market for a mobile, easy to use and inexpensive solution to personal security. Randolph von Gans, Inventor of KamAlert, explains;
“There are some excellent security products on the market, but they are designed to either be fixed to a particular property or simply to sound an alarm if the user is in danger. With the development of Smart Phones, we saw an opportunity to produce a low cost and easy to use product which is totally flexible. KamAlert can be used in several different ways to suit the user’s needs. For instance, it can give users an added level of protection walking home alone, or be used to monitor your valuable possessions at home, in the office or on holiday.
The iPhone is an excellent platform for this security system and the programme has been developed to be intuitive and easy to use, even in the most difficult situations. It is being sold for less than 4€ via the iPhone application store, so this personal security system is open to everyone with an iPhone.”
The KamAlert is available for sale on the iPhone application store priced at just 3.99€. The developers of this product believe that KamAlert will be opening up surveillance and personal security systems to all, and will benefit thousands of iPhone users. For more information visit www.kamalert.com, email info@kamalert.com or view the introductory video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXTbpJt7nn8) for an overview of the key features.
Using KamAlert
There are some key applications where KamAlert can be used particularly effectively:
- Walking alone at night – If you feel threatened whilst you are walking alone, then you can get the application ready with the help button showing and keep it in your pocket. This means that if someone does approach you, then you can hit the help button straight-away and inform your contact numbers that you are in danger. The phone can also sound an alarm to frighten the attacker away before you contact the emergency services.
- Medical emergency – If you have a health complaint or should a medical emergency occur whilst you are on your own, you can use KamAlert to contact the emergency services and your loved ones to ensure help comes quickly. Simply load the application and click on the medical alert button to contact your pre-programmed contacts, which could include your doctor or hospital. The iPhone will also provide your exact GPS co-ordinates so you will be found easily.
- Monitoring an empty property or room – If you have to leave a property or office unattended for short periods and want to ensure there are no unwelcome visitors, all you have to do is set up your phone in a good location. Set the KamAlert surveillance mode and once you have left the room, the surveillance function will be activated and any motion will trigger the phone to take images and send them to your programmed contacts by email or SMS. You can elect to have an alarm siren on, to scare-off intruders, or turn off this function to ensure you are able to alert the authorities whilst they are still in the premises.
- Security on holiday – It can be very difficult to protect your belongings and even your family when on holiday in rented accommodation or hotel rooms without security systems. Leaving valuables and passports unattended can be a great cause for concern, which can be overcome by using your iPhone with the KamAlert Surveillance System to monitor the room.
- If you go out for the day, or even just to a restaurant, you can get the application to text your partner’s phone, the hotel concierge or property management company if anyone enters your property. This can also be used effectively once the children are in bed to make sure no one enters the room and the children do not leave the room. This makes a handy alternative to bringing a baby monitor.
- Caring for others – Carers of children, the elderly and disabled need to be able to contact the emergency services, management or parents should anything happen. The Help Button on the KamAlert is an excellent way to ensure that Carers can get help at the touch of a button, no matter where they are.

Elite Platinum Releases New Finance App!
Elite Platinum Releases New Finance App! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
NEWEST iPHONE FINANCE APP LAUNCHED THIS FEBRUARY, FROM ELITE PLATINUM
Miramar, Fla., February 25, 2010 – Applications developer Elite Platinum has launched its first iPhone app. Starting in February 2010, Budget-Planner is available for download through the iPhone App Store and iTunes. Budget-Planner handles multiple personal (and even business) budgets, showing at a glance the estimated balance for every day in the month. To celebrate the launch, Elite Platinum is offering Budget-Planner for free for anyone who leaves feedback or ratings for Budget-Planner.
Budget-Planner breaks personal and business budgets down into very simple daily transactions. Users can schedule recurring transactions like utility and rent payments, credit card payments, investments, and income. Budget-Planner automatically calculates how much money is available each day based on those expected transactions. As soon as a particular day goes over budget, the numbers go red, so people can see where they stand with one look at their iPhone.
“Most other budget programs only show what money you have left at the end of the month,” explained Elite Platinum marketing director Alex Sabonge. “That’s not how it works in real life. You have to know how much money you have on any given day so that you can be more effective in planning your budget and spending your money.”
Budget-Planner also generates spreadsheets and summaries that breakdown expenses, income, and balances, plus full-color charts that illustrate how much of the budget pie each expense takes.
And it does all of this as a simple iPhone app that costs less than $3 to download.
“People need to know their budget when they’re actually out and doing things, not just sitting at their desk balancing their checkbook,” Sabonge said. “People can just take out their iPhone and do a quick check on where they are in their budget before they buy something. It’s a much more realistic – and useful – tool for managing your money.”
Budget-Planner is available for download through the iPhone App Store and through iTunes. For more information on Budget-Planner, including download links and at-a-glance tutorials, go to http://www.mybudget-planner.com.

Star Walk – with a new sky!
Star Walk – with a new sky! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Star Walk – with a new sky!
The new Star Walk starts the new year with version 3.5 that features a new sky, new splash and FAQ! The starry night sky in Star Walk is clearer and appears less crowded. Now the stars on the background picture do not interfere with the real stars.
New splash evoked lots of discussions in our team. Some think that the bear looks fine, others say it is a bit aggressive. We’d like to know your opinion. Check out our new splash and share your ideas whether you like it or not on our Facebook page.
Due to our users requests we added FAQ to make sure everybody is clear on how to use Star Walk and what the symbols we use mean, e.g. the tan dashed line, the red lined circles, the squares with symbols. Besides we added instructions on how to adjust the number of stars seen on the screen to the number of stars seen with the naked eye, how to switch on and off the push notifications of the Astronomy Pictures of the day.
All Star Walk features and how to use them:
VIEW from the EARTH:
SW will allow automatic and manually selected location on the globe. Touch it, spin it and find where you want to be to observe the sky tonight.
DIGITAL COMPASS with Star Spotter:
If you have an iPhone 3GS tilt your phone and the ”Star Spotter” function will be activated, a live representation of what you see in the sky will appear on your display and the sky will start following your movements whether you move up or down, left or right. In order to stop the function simply tap the display.
If you don’t have an iPhone 3GS the ”Star Spotter” function will still activate once you tilt your iPhone or iPodTouch and will work as you hold it and move it up and down.
TIME MACHINE: tap the clock icon and date and time will be displayed. Slide your finger on the hours and the sky will start moving accordingly. Touch year, month and time and change depending on what you want to see, the display will adapt accordingly to show you how stars and planets were aligned at that time.
MOON PHASES: select the moon with the touch of your finger, tap the -i – symbol to enlarge the image and start the clock to watch moon phases. You can do the same with all other planets and stars.
Wikipedia LINKS: select one celestial corpse and tap the – i – icon to activate the magnifier and read main information about it. To know more tap the -w – icon at the bottom of the table and the wikipedia page will open up.
HELP GUIDE: for any questions on how to use the ”Star Spotter” function or the Time Machine tap the – ? – menu.
SETTINGS: with the bottom right icon you are given different options. You can change the screen with night mode, select brightness, put sounds on and off, find and select location and start your list of favorites.
