Sun, 20 May 2012 04:15:07 -0400

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, May 20, 2012 is Farm Mess Pro!

Application Description:

Choose your level and board size

Farm Pen Puzzler

Oh no! Your farm is a complete mess. Your mission is to restore some order to your agricultural enterprise. Are you up to the task of sorting out these mixed-up farm animals?

Keep Them Doggies Rollin'

You must move the animals to their correct places within the pen. The horses belong with the horses, the cows with the cows, the pigs with the pigs, and so on. You sort the animals two ways: Tap three small animals to rotate them, or tap a large animal so the smaller animals around it rotate.

For every level, you're allowed to make a specific number of moves. If you exceed the number of taps, you'll have to start that level over. Essentially, these animals act as a challenging puzzle of rotating cogs.

Plenty of Puzzles

Farm Mess contains 54 levels and three levels of difficulty. Choose from small, medium, and large boards. Every board features a relaxing farm scene with funny animations, but your brain will be far from relaxed trying to puzzle out these progressively more difficult boards. So get those goats in order, or you're out of the farming business!

Six Great Games That Play Great Together

Six great games from Hybrid Mind Studios all come together within one low-priced app.

Power Vacuum

Power Vacuum is a fast-paced puzzle game. Help the atom recover its lost electrons on each level by carefully guiding the electrons around the white energy areas, but don't let them touch. There are 20 levels available, and ten are picked at random each time you play. You have 60 seconds per level to get the electrons to your goal.

Avoidal

Avoidal offers a simple but exciting premise: use your enemies to destroy as many blue stars as you can. Activate red seekers and yellow spikes, then get out of the way as they plummet towards the blue stars. Earn bonus points by destroying the blue stars as quickly as possible.

Contentric

Contentric gives you just 10 seconds to collect the blue squares, refill your time limit, and avoid the black squares and borders. How long can you last? Contentric is a fast-paced agility game in which you avoid obstacles and collect items in a race against the clock. The obstacles you avoid are indirectly controlled by you, which adds a zen-like quality despite the game's frenzied pace.

Robot Reaction

See how many robots you can destroy in Robot Reaction, a fast-paced chain reaction game. The ten exciting levels with six different robot types support online leaderboards for high score competition. Each of the robots explodes in a different way, and you only get once chance in each round, so think quickly and choose carefully.

For the Twin

In For the Twin, a simple, fast-paced matching puzzle game, find your example's identical twin from among the dancing aliens. A game that both kids and adults can enjoy, it features six unique challenges with ten levels each, 30 different dancing aliens, an offbeat electronica soundtrack with seven original songs, and online leaderboards for competition.

Application Description:

Turn photos into coloring book images

Get creative as you create your masterpiece

Create a Coloring Masterpiece

ColorBook is a photo-editing app for your Android device that lets you turn your own personal pictures into coloring book images. Create colored masterpieces and share them with your family and friends; each image you create will be truly one of a kind.

Select Your Palette

It's easy to turn a photo into a customized coloring book image. Just open the ColorBook app and take a photo (or choose one from your personal photo gallery or Facebook profile). The photo will appear on your screen transformed into a black and white, pencil-drawn image.

If you like, you can change the visual style of the image before you go any further. Touch the Menu button, then select Style, and you'll find three options: ColorBook (the default line-drawing style), GrayScale, and Original. Pick your favorite. Now it's time to get coloring!

Stay Inside the Lines--or Don't

Start by choosing a brush size and paint color from the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Create broad strokes with a large brush, or pick one that's pinpoint-sized to get precise. For detail work, you can use the app's two-finger zoom feature to see up close and make sure you color inside the lines.

The color choices are wide open, so be creative. Basic options are available at a single touch, but you can also bring up a color wheel and choose the exact shade you want.

Coloring is easy. Using your finger, touch the screen anywhere. You'll see the color appear immediately, as if you're holding a crayon or pen. If you make a mistake, touch the Erase tab and use your finger to remove the offending strokes.

Save and Share Your Work

When you've finished your masterpiece, make sure you share it with your friends. You can post it to Facebook or send it via e-mail or text message.

And remember to save your work to your device! You can make sure you never lose a project by selecting "Auto save" in the app's Menu settings. Then anything you're working will automatically be preserved for you whenever you exit the app. Happy coloring!

Find Chords and Scales on your Android Device

Do you love your piano or keyboard but get bored when it comes to the nuts and bolts of finding chords and scales?

KeyChord is a virtual keyboard on which you can select chords or scaletypes. Now you can create beautiful music by tapping the screen of your smartphone or tablet without the strain of figuring out scales and chord root notes.

A Personal Piano Teacher

You can use KeyChord as your personal music tutor, learning chords and scales while enjoying the creative side of the piano. For instance, simply tap on a key to make it the root of your chord, or long-press a selected chord note to invert the chord to that position. You can do the same with scales. Tap an already-selected root note for different kinds of information modes like note names or intervals.

Features

KeyChord lets you select a chord dynamically anywhere you want on the keyboard. It doesn't use a database to give you just a few predefined chord locations, but knows how chords work mathematically, giving you the power to explore chords on your keyboard.

Reverse Lookup allows for dynamic note selection for the chords you have in mind or that you discover on your piano: Keychord tells you automatically how the chord is called, and supports even missing notes like CMaj7 (no 5th).

More than 50 chord types More than 100 scale types Note names Component intervals Inversions Staff view Favorite and recent chord types Hear every chord and scale

Audio playback is also enabled in all modes. And included as a bonus is the playable five octave multi-touch piano from Mini Piano Pro (128 sounds and 5 octaves).

Application Description:

Choose from 3 game modes

Oops! Now where are you going to put that lemon?

Apples, Grapes, and Lemons, Oh My!

In Fruit Sorter Extreme, you're working in a sorting plant for fresh fruit. Your task is to sort out different types of fruit (such as apples, lemons, grapes, and cherries) moving on a conveyer belt by putting them in separate boxes. You must sort all the fruit before they reach the end of the belt and fall into the mill. It may be humble factory work, but this job requires rapid hand-eye coordination. How fast can you sort?

Your job seems straightforward enough. You sort the fruit by putting one type of fruit in each box. You earn bonus points for sorting out one or more kinds of fruit at the same time. This job only gets more hectic as more fruit and boxes appear.

Three Fun Games

Fruit Sorter Extreme includes three game modes. In Normal mode, you sort out a fixed quantity of fruit. In More Fruits mode, new boxes are added from time to time as new fruit comes down the belt. In Time Attack mode, you have 25 seconds of basic time, and you gain an additional four seconds for each box you fill.

Who's the True Fruit Sorter Master?

Fruiter Sorter Extreme is integrated with OpenFeint and Game Center leaderboards and achievements, so you can see who's really the best fruit sorter in the world. Unlock new fruit as you progress up the levels.

"I tell you, Fruit Ninja has nothing on Fruit Sorter, and if you want a true test of your hand-eye-coordination skills, then see how long you can last sorting fruit in this frantic-paced casual game." -- CrazyMikesapps.com

The reward system has always been an effective parenting technique, and now the iRewardChart can go everywhere you and your child go. The iRewardChart makes it easy to teach your child how to understand consequences, incentives, patience, and the value of setting goals and working to achieve them.

How iRewardChart Works

The iRewardChart app makes it easy to reward your children for good behavior and keep them motivated. Simply type their name, select a few tasks from the list of suggestions, and reward their accomplishments with a single tap in the weekly chart.

The app also allows you to set up abstract goals like "Patience" and "Sharing with Others" in order to reinforce the values you want your child to learn. When stars have been earned, your child can pick from the default list of suggested rewards, or you can customize the rewards (e.g., "$2 Pocket Money" or "One Hour of TV").

iRewardChart Recognition

While the iReward App has been busy implementing an effective reward system, it's gotten quite a bit of recognitions itself!
