Framed is one of the best games of 2014 and you can download for free for a limited time

Download | Frame for iOS 7.0 or later (free for a limited time, universal) on the App Store

This is one of those stories to hopefully arrive early because few times a game with so many awards and rave reviews as Frame decides to reduce its price to zero for a limited time. Luckily this is one of those times and hope you can enjoy it without having to pay the 4.99 euros it costs to.

Even with that price adventure Loveshack really worth, but beyond the pleasant experience that awaits us with this change of scenes in which we decide how come our hero to the finish, the replayability of the game is quite limited and, together to its short duration, making it a difficult title to sell to the public.

Besides synchronize tasks we have done from the mobile transparently Any.Do will open on your Mac with an interface that inherits the minimalism of the application for iOS. We can manage tasks between teams of people (adding comments and attachments), organize our personal tasks following the GTD system and access all functions from an icon in the menu bar.

Health: all our measures of health in one place

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

The rumors are confirmed. This time Apple has introduced Health, the new place in our iOS devices in which all measures of health we do with our iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad will be stored.

This new application included as standard on iOS, will be accompanied by Healthkit, an environment that will allow developers find that your application is compatible with iOS Health. Thus Apple seeks to unify all health data in one place and third-party applications can access all of our data to make an accurate assessment of our health.

A clear example is Nike +, an application that monitors only our careers but with Health may access data as our weight, our sleep and even the calories you have eaten in the last days. Only have to use third party applications to perform measurements and give permission to Nike + that can use them.

Test Healthbook concept

Healthbook is one of the developments that are expected to arrive with iOS version 8. The application would be the data center that would unify all the information related to health. From the activity, sleep, food and even other data such as heart rate, Cholesterol. Sure, as long as the rumors and information "leaked" is true.

As we have seen physical mockups of supposed iPhone 6, a user has created a prototype of how it would Healtbook. An application with an interface based on cards like Passbook and that there is little more to tell until you really know what will be monitored.

DOTS, connect the points

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

In a few days will be fulfilled one year since I downloaded a game called Dots at the recommendation of a friend. It is one of those apps that stand out for its minimalism, simplicity and beauty, which also contains a very entertaining complexity. 

After a year playing, it's definitely one of my favorite apps. In this post I would recommend it.

Getting Started with Dots

"In the end, everything is connected" - Charles Eames, architect, designer and filmmaker.

Dots is a game of collecting points of the same color. That's it. You do not have realistic graphics or complicated rules. Once you join all the points that you used to draw the line disappear, dropping circles located above and inputting new ones. 

In the tutorial they give you the key to ending the greatest number of points at a time. What you have to do is close the line with the geometric shape you want, from a square to an irregular shape. If you do, all points of the same color disappear even if not connected to your figure. 

Easy, right? Not so much 

In classic game mode you have only 60 seconds to eliminate as many points as possible. This limitation is precisely what makes it a perfect Dots addictive game for pecking between meals on our iPhone. If you take up this connectivity to social networks to sting you with your contacts, we have an explosive mixture.

Some strategies to squeeze Dots

Cloak: antisocial social network

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

There are days when you just want to be alone and no communication with the outside world. No matter the reason, or even no reason, simply is like we are. At such times our iPhone can help us in getting silence. That is the goal that has Cloak, will help us not to talk to anyone.

To achieve, this application connects to social networks you use (Foursquare, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook ...) and tells us if a contact has posted a message whose location is near us. Thus, if we go down the street, Cloak notify us that he or she are approaching. Quick, changes sidewalk!

We can even choose the range you want to use, and if we want to serve for everyone or just for a list of people who have marked. Maybe we just want to avoid certain people. Very basic, free, with good design an application.

Will you be blacklisted from your friends?

POP, the animation engine that uses Paper is Now Open Source

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Paper is possibly one of the best, or the best application published by Facebook. As we saw in our testing, the application is amazing in all its aspects and the interface and animations are at a high level. Now, POP, the animation engine used by Paper is published as Open Source.

On the website of Facebook code can read more about this engine that essentially, enables new options for animation versus Core Animation. So thanks to spring, decay and custom, the three new animations that offer POP, developers can improve the animation of their apps. 

If you start working with it we would like to know how you aprovecháis. So, to write code!

Update Facebook Messenger for iPhone. Improvements for sharing photos and videos

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Messenger, the mobile messaging client Facebook for our iPhone, has been updated to version 5 by solving one of its biggest problems: the interface to attach content to the message. Now, Facebook has placed much easier carrying gallery photos, stickers and even the camera to the same area of writing messages.

The new interface for attaching photos and videos saves us navigate many menus and panels

Another novelty is that we can now send videos that are stored on our reel, and also improved the contact tab to search our list of friends.

The interface of the talks remains the same, by Facebook's plans to wean your messaging completely from your main application. I do not know if this strategy is the right one, but I have to say that Facebook Messenger has become one of my favorite messaging client for my iPhone.

Tools for creating storyboards in iOS (Part 2)

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Storyboards , simple and efficient application. Similar to the views on Mac but with a better finish at the interface level and the advantages of working on the iPad. Where else can we take our storyboard always with us. And it's free.

Compositor Storyboard, payment but it is interesting. We can place items like notes, camera position, camera and more. Also we will add photos taken with our iPhone or iPad which can be useful if you're shooting on location.

Technology and the analog world 

Strangely there are not many applications of this type. It really is that for large productions and there dedicate yourselves to do the storyboard and make use of applications like Photoshop and van scenes organizing teams otherwise.

So looking for more alternatives I came across a very simple but practical method. This involves making use of the drawing application that we like such as Paper, Penultimate in iOS abd similar but in the OSX Gimp then these drawings will schematize each scene took them to ComicLife. Yes, it's easy, it's something we could do a thousand other ways but if you test I think you will like. 

And of course if there are not many scenes do you prefer or simply be being more analog, we will always have a pencil and paper.

Tools for creating storyboards in OS X (Part 1)

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

When creating a storyboard technology offers certain options, if it is a large project, useful and practical. Not to mention not having to carry a stack of papers above is always appreciated. Therefore, I have decided to seek applications for Mac and iOS that allow us to create a storyboard. 

Of course, there are listed a bit of everything, some of them will seem the past because their interfaces are nothing but attractive if they meet their duties is enough in this case. We started with the Mac.

Storyboarding in OS X

The first is StoryBoard Quick. Basically it is a database of images that can be inserted to recreate various scenes of our short film, advertisement, ... These elements in turn can rotate, change in size and position. It is not pleasant visually but does not seem a bad option. 

The same developer offers a more complete version, StoryBoard Quick Studio, and a version to take our iPad and other options that you can see on their website, PowerProduction Software. Although its price, $ 249, more than one will dismiss it quickly.

Another option is Toonboom Storyboard Pro. We could define it as a drawing application where each of them will be one of our project plans. These will be organized in the application itself and can rearrange them with drag and drop. It may not be perfect but it is certainly the one that has convinced me.

FrameForge Previz Studio is also an application for creating storyboard tool able to animate the scenes, something that may be helpful to some but that means extra work that may not be necessary.
