What makes NucliOS so great is the fact that it was built from the bottom up with performance in mind, in other words this is not just a port of an application originally built for another platform, NucliOS was built with the iOS platform in mind.

After having used NucliOS for a few days I can honestly say that it is packed with amazing features that will undoubtedly make help you create stunning apps for the iPhone and iPad.

If you want to create amazing charts then NucliOS offers more than 40 different types covering everything from bar charts to financial and scatter charts. Not only can you customize which chart you want to use but you can also change the colors and markers used on the charts. If you need to show a change in trends then NucliOS offers a motion framework allowing you to animate your graphs.

If you need to arrange something then why not use the grid template, NucliOS offers a plethora of different grids and tables you can apply to almost any data. Whether you are looking to add multiple columns or single rows to your app, there is a layout for everything.

In my opinion perhaps the best feature of NucliOS is the fact that everything from graphs to gauges come with the source code ready for you to add to your application.

NucliOS is already available in several different editions, for $295.00 USD you get the Community Edition, which includes forum-based support. However if you need phone or email support from Infrag… experts you can get the Standard Support edition for $495.00 USD. If you require 24-hour support you can purchase the Priority support edition, which gives you access to one year of priority phone, 24-hour chat and rapid response online support. Before deciding which version you need you can download a free trial as well as downloading a free sample browser from the Apple App Store.

There is no doubt in my mind that I would recommend NucliOS to anyone wanting to create professional high quality applications for iPhone and iPad. Everything they offer is easy to use as well as customize and implement into your own applications.

When I was a kid there was nothing I loved more than watching my dad put a vinyl record on the player, now even though I am from the CD and digital music era I still think there is something awesome about vinyl records. Today however it can be almost impossible to find a working turntable, and that is where the TurnPlay app from Ramotion enters the picture.

The iPad app looks and feels like a vintage record player, the App Store description even states that the “that as soon as you launch the app, you will end up scrutinizing every visual feature and enjoying animation and built-in sounds.” The idea behind the app is simple and yet genius, you select a song from a virtual rack of vinyl records and then play in on the virtual record player, the app even comes with a tone arm with a virtual needle that you can drop anywhere within the track and a knob that turns the player on and off.

The only drawback I can see in TurnPlay is that it only allows you to play one song at a time, in other words once the song is finished it doesn’t automatically go on to the next one. I would love to see the addition of a whole album being played. Other than that this is a pretty fun app that is sure to keep you and other vinyl lovers entertained.

You can download TurnPlay from the iOS App Store for US$1.99.

Watch the video below for a better explanation of the App:

About the App:

The iPhone app was designed from the ground-up to make it effortless, beautiful, and fast to explore the internet on your iPhone. We take local news to whole new level by suggesting topic and publisher newsfeeds based on your location. The app has incredible performance – it makes the internet useable on your phone. When you tap a story, it renders in a fast content-centric browser within Prismatic. Our goal is to help you explore and interact with great content and stay out of your way, so we’ve created a few new gestures and interactions to maximize content real estate.

Location tagging:

What’s interesting is that Prismatic looks at your current location and provides news based on this location, over the past few days I have travelled more than 1200 miles to 5 different cities, and in each city Prismatic presented something local. This is a great feature if you want to get more acquainted with the news of the area you are currently in.

Built in Browser:

“When you tap a story, it renders in a fast content-centric browser within Prismatic.” In other words when you find an interesting article that you want to read Prismatic opens the source website without having to switch to another browser first.

Interested or not:

Prismatic makes it very simple to tell the app whether or not the presented news if of interest to your or not, simply click on a story and tell the app whether you found it to be of interest or not, as well as whether or not you would like to share it with your friends.

Our Verdict:

The app is really well designed and provides news that is relevant to the individual user. In our opinion this should be a must have app if you want to stay up to date with the latest news. Not only does Prismatic present news from your specific location, but news that is tailored to your interests and likes.

After having played around with the app for a few hours you quickly become hooked, whats so great about this app is that the playlists have all be compiled by experts, and the app offers a playlist for pretty much every activity you can think about. Coming Down After A Party? There is a playlist for that,  Playing Between The Sheets yup there is a playlist for that too,  Waking Up On The Right Side Of The Bed also a playlist for that, by now you get the point

App Features:

- Music Concierge: By sensing the day of the week and time of day, Concierge suggests suitable situations you might want music for. Choose, and in 2 taps you’ll have the perfect 3 playlists at your fingertips!

- ‘Popular’ section, where Songza highlights the new and notable playlists they add to their library.

- Alternatively, you can browse Songza’s library of expertly-curated playlists when using the app’s Explore section. They’re intuitively organized by Genres, Activities, Moods, Decades, Culture.

- You can save a playlist by adding it to your ‘Favorites,‘ to listen to later.

- Requests: ‘Playlist Request’ under Settings will populate an email to Songza for you to send.

While Listening to a Playlist:

- You can share it via Facebook, Twitter, Email, and add it to your Favorites.
- You can also access the playlist’s info, which includes the playlist’s description, the name of the playlist’s creator, and a short list of similar playlists.
- Tap ‘Buy on iTunes’ if you want to purchase the song you’ve discovered using Songza.
- The Now Playing button brings you to the music player, where you can pause, skip the current song, or give the song a thumbs up or thumbs down to help Songza tune into your preferences.

What makes Keynotopia so great is the fact that the templates are available in both Keynote and PowerPoint formats, which makes it so much easier to create amazing App user interfaces. Furthermore making Keynotopia amazing is the fact that when you have completed your design you can simply export the file as a clickable PDF document and load it onto your iPhone or iPad to see how it would work as a real app.

Besides iPhone and iPad templates, Keynotopia also makes templates for Windows, Mac OS X, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7 and Facebook apps.

So if you have the right idea then head over to Keynotopia! Below are some more images:

Here’s some info on each of the two courses that you’ll get access to:

Course 1: C Programming: iOS Development Starts Here

C is the basis of many programming languages in use today: C++, Objective C, PHP, Java, and even Microsoft’s .net languages. Sure, it’s been around since the 70s, but it’s still used today in applications where speed is critical – like financial applications, video games, and complex engineering.

In this video tutorial, master trainer Mark Lassoff goes over all of the important concepts you need to learn C programming. After completing the course, you’ll be ready to write and adjust C applications. There’s no programming experience required for this course.

This course is suitable for:

• People without programming experience who want to eventually create an iOS application
• People who want to learn programming and need a good starting point
• Students taking a programming class who need supplementary material
• People who want to pick up computer programming as a hobby

Course 2: Objective C for Beginners

Once you’ve mastered C, it’s time to move on to Objective C with Objective C for Beginners. Objective C is a cool derivative of C that adds all sorts of functions and features.

In this Objective C tutorial you’ll learn everything you need to know to start learning to develop iOS apps.

You’ll start with the basics, Objective C variables, and move through more complex concepts like the Objective C foundation classes, data structures, and creating your own classes and objects. This class contains over four hours of video lecture, lab exercises, and more!

You’ll work with instructor Mark Lassoff to master the concepts of Objective C programming used by iPhone and iPad application developers worldwide.

This course is suitable for:

But those guys that made it to the list do not have special powers. Not at all. One of the secret weapons used by Top App Developers is…. Design.

Why Developers Do not Make Use Of Not So Secret Weapon

This widely known secret weapon is not widely used. Why? Here are a couple of reasons why

Not Enough Cash to Hire A designer

You will have to pay upwards of $2000 to hire a designer to design an app and it’s icon. You will agree that it is a brave thing to do since you are not sure we will get a return on that investment when the App hits the store.

You can also try hosting a 99-designs contest. Sometimes you may be successful, sometimes not. To get great designs, you will have to guarantee the contest and offer a minimum of $500 as a prize.

Spending hours trying to go DIY

You can also try the DIY route and fire up Photoshop. The problem with this is you end up spending hours and hours and then end up with a design your 3-year old niece can come up with. Ugh, painful.

How to get Great Design for Your App Without Spending $2000+ 

Well, have no fear, there is a Vault located 5km under a bank in Switzerland packed full App templates.

The app has a nice leather navigation bar that makes your app look classy. You can also use this navigation bar in any other apps you have.

Foody – Classy Recipe design

Recipe apps sell well on the App store. That is why Top Chefs like Jamie Oliver are coming out with their own apps too. Foody has a brown leather feel to it. It takes its inspiration from the the Find My Friends app from Apple.

This goes to prove that you can take these design concepts and use them for any kind of app.

Foody has a screen with a list of dishes, a detail screen with a list of ingredients and a framed image for the dishes.

PhotoPad – iPad PhotoBooks with a Twitter Interface.

Do you like the cool interface on the Twitter iPad App? Well, it so happens that you can use the interface for almost any kind of iPad app.
