The newly released iPhone app Total Euro 2012 ups the game for other Euro 2012 apps by providing an unrivalled depth of statistics about every team and individual players. Users are able to compare teams side by side ahead of the game and check the results of the last matches they played against each other as well as recent history (including Euro 2012 qualification games). This on top of more standard features to be expected from any premium sports app such as live match stats and commentary or team formations.

“Right from the very start we understood that for an iPhone app for Euro to be genuinely useful, it can’t be just a gimmick which merely displays a list of fixtures, but should allow users to quickly access all the detailed stats and information about the teams and players they are interested in”, commented Tom Kotecki, Director and Co-Founder of The App Team, the London-based company behind the app. “Whether they are watching the game and want to find out how did a particular player perform in the last season, or are simply preparing themselves ahead of the game and want to compare the teams, it’s all there.”

For every match of the Euro, a detailed head-to-head analysis is provided, complete with graphs and factors from FIFA rankings through recent matches to past Euro & World Cup performance all taken into account.

Users who aren’t able to watch a game live will be able to track its progress using the app as well, with full live commentary and stats available, as well as push notifications for any significant event during the game such as goals, penalties, yellow/red cards etc.

Given the wealth of information, extra care had to be put into design of the app, ensuring it’s not overwhelming and easy to navigate.

“This approach seems to resonate well with our users, as within two days of the release we managed to hit Top 10 Sports chart here in the UK and up to Top 3 internationally” – added Kotecki.

Total Euro 2012 can be downloaded from the App Store now for £1.99/€2.39/$2.99. App Store link (UK): http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/total-euro-2012/id524586841?mt=8

The App Team Ltd is a London-based mobile development company focusing on sports apps (apart from Total Euro 2012, it’s planning to shortly release two apps for the other big sports event of the year, the London 2012 Olympic Games). The two founders have each over 10 years of experience in developing and marketing software, including mobile apps. The company was launched with a goal of providing well thought-out and intuitive apps, starting with the sports category.

Part strategy, part puzzle, part action – JackApps Media’s Prison Run takes you inside the walls of a heavily guarded prison to assume the role of prisoner turned escapee (or at least you hope). Starting out randomly inside one of the many prison cells, your objective is to locate the prison keys and make it out before the timer runs out. But that’s not all.

Lurking inside the prison is a foray of prison guards, ready to throw your prisoner back in the slammer should they see him trying to escape. Collect some badges along the way, which when you to manage to escape, can be turned into coins to use to purchase various upgrades within the game – including power ups, new prisoners each with their own unique capabilities (like if you wish to overpower a guard), and additional, increasingly challenging levels.

To master Prison Run and actually escape, you’ll need to not only be quick on your feet (and with your finger), but you’ll also need to employ some strategy as well. Hide in the closet while the guard passes by and hope you can make it to the exit before the timer runs out, or make a run for it and pray you don’t get seen? The choice is yours.

With its stunning 3D graphics and dynamic game play, Prison Run will grab you from the get go and rattle your nerves as you desperately try to avoid the guards and escape to freedom without getting caught!

Features:

A series of currently 5 articles written by Micro Machines designer, Andrew Graham, who is now Gameplay Guru at Kwalee.

Alexei’s Creative Wednesdays:
5 articles about game concept art by Alexei Lundgard.

Tales From The Code Mines:
4 articles about programming from James Munro. This series includes some fantastic videos, generated from our programming code to show how much a game grows while in production.

There are many more articles like these and they are continually added to by our talented development staff.

Kwalee CEO David Darling explains the reasoning behind creating and publishing all this content:

“At Kwalee we want to be as open as possible and to engage with potential players of our games. So it makes eminent sense for us to explain what we do in our daily work. Also we feel that it is both interesting and useful for the broader public to have a greater understanding of the game development process”.

X-Wave Soft today is pleased to introduce Guest List Organizer 1.0 for iPhone/iPod touch, their event organizer that coordinates guest invitations, RSVPs, contact information, table assignments, and more. Guest List Organizer saves event planners time with easy imports of Facebook friends, Address Book entry contacts, and guests from previous events. This useful Productivity app features iCloud syncing between devices and generates 11 different customizable, printable and shareable PDF reports that make event organizing effortless. Guest List Organizer HD 2.2, designed especially for iPad, is also available.

Managing attendees at a party or event can be a time-consuming process. However, Guest List Organizer simplifies any guest list and provides real-time, accurate information on invitees and attendees. This app is a one-stop solution for organizing events. An event greeter can quickly check off guests as they arrive, providing accurate up-to-the-minute guest status detail.

Guest List Organizer is simple and easy to use. Users create a new event by tapping the plus button in the top right corner. Users add information to the event, such as the event name, location, date, time, and any additional notes or comments. Once an event is created, users may import contacts and contact detail information from Facebook, the device’s Address Book, previous event entries, or enter guests manually. Each guest entry includes fields for first name, last name, phone, email, table assignment, notes, and custom-created fields. Guest entries also include designation of male, female, or child along with the ability to include a photo of the invitee. Photos can be imported from Facebook, the Address Book, or from the iDevice’s saved photos. Including a photo of a guest allows the event organizer or greeter to easily identify and welcome guests.

Feature Highlights:

* Import guest information from Facebook friends and Address Book entries (Contacts)

* 11 customizable PDF reports with support for default, pre-defined and custom fields

* Print reports

The Guests display within each event allows users to quickly view and mark when a guest is invited, confirmed and attends. This view also allows event organizers to view whether or not a guest is bringing additional attendees, creating the ability for an accurate head count. Guest information can be sorted by RSVP status, attendance, name, and more. Guest List Organizer allows users to track guest popularity by denoting which guests arrive with other guests, such as family members or co-workers. This useful information can help the event organizer make quick, last minute table assignment changes to ensure that guests are seated appropriately for an effective and successful event.

Users may analyze, print and share guest lists and customizable PDF reports via email, iTunes, DropBox, and Evernote. Eleven automatically generated, customizable reports track all of the information a party planner may need. Default, pre-defined and custom fields provide specific, complete information. Event planners can instantly see which guests have arrived and which confirmed guests are not yet at the event, allowing adjustment of event activities as needed.

By rescuing kittens you will eventually gather enough coins to upgrade not only your character, but also unlock other levels and gather items. As each maze is randomly generated at each play, there is unlimited and infinite entertainment value ahead! Featuring single-, as well as a multi-player mode (where you can go head-to-head against other players through Game Center Support), rescuing zombie kittens has never been more fun, and best of all you don’t need to change the dirty litter box!

With its cute gameplay, fun sounds, crisp graphics (Retina support where applicable), unlimited levels, in-app coin pack purchases, and upgrades such as fanny packs and unique hats, ‘Meow Maze Zombie Cats’ will have you purring your own ‘zombie meow’ all the way to the App Store!
