Big update to BigMagnify, new website

I just updated BigMagnify to 3.0.0. I completely rewrote the whole app while adding filters, image stabilization, manual focus, sharing and gestures (tap-hold to focus, swipe to adjust focus, pinch to zoom in/out). Let me know how you’re enjoying the new release!

Chill 1.3.1 and Chill Lite 1.3.1 Released!

Thanks to everyone who informed me of the fact that some of the sounds only play out of one channel. I’ve fixed that in the latest update.

Also, I changed the way Chill Lite works. I’ve removed the 5 minute time limit and simply limited the number of sounds that are available.

Keep all the great feedback coming!

Chill 1.3.0 Released!

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback! I’ve added some of your most requested features …

1. New sounds! Enjoy the relaxing sounds of Airplane, Fan, Pier, Shower and Wind Chimes
2. Colored noises are back! Blue, Brown, Pink, Violet and White Noises are all available!
3. Sleep Timer! Automatically stop playback after a specific amount of time
4. Smaller menu bar icon! Chill now takes up less precious space in your menu bar

Keep the constructive criticism coming so I can know what to add next!

Chill for iOS approved and on the App Store!

Chill for iOS has been approved and is now available on the App Store! Check it out!

It has all the same sounds as the Mac OS X version, including Beach, City, Crickets, Fire, Rainforest, Rain(Light and Heavy), River, Thunderstorm, White noise and Wind.

Also, it’s FREE download (supported by ads) so there’s no reason not to give it a try.

If you choose to upgrade to the FULL version via In-App Purchase, the ads will be removed AND you’ll be able to play the sounds in the background with iOS 4 multitasking.

Try it out and let me know what you think! I always welcome your feedback on how I can improve my apps.

Chill Lite

Chill Lite was just approved for the Mac App Store today! It has all the features of the full version, except it will automatically stop playback every 5 minutes. Give it a try and see if you like it.

As always, I welcome any questions, suggestions or complaints.

Chill 1.2 Submitted to the App Store!

Thanks to everyone who left both good and bad reviews for Chill! I’ve taken the feedback you’ve given and incorporated as much as I could into the 1.2 release.

By far, the biggest feature people were asking for was more sounds, so I’ve added a bunch of new professionally-recorded sounds like Beach, City, Crickets, Fire, Rainforest, Rain(Light and Heavy), River and Thunderstorm.

I also updated the audio engine to use CoreAudio directly, fixed the Expose window bug and replaced the non-seamless rain loop with two new seamless rain samples.

Let me know what you think! I’m always looking for more feedback so I’ll know what to work on next.
