SightRead is a  music game that helps you to read music scores quickly.

This app is useful for band musicians, piano students, or anybody who wants to learn to read music.

The game is very simple: Four random notes appear on the staves, so you have to play them correctly using the piano keys. Although the controls are very simple, the game has many effective features targeted at real practical learning experience.

The game launches very quickly and is generally snappy, so if you ever wanted to be able read music at a glance, then play this app in your spare time, instead of playing other generic games.

Ver.1.1: – What’s New – Added native Japanese language localization support (thanks to the unexpected popularity in Japan!)

SightRead KEY FEATURES:

• 20-note piano keys (specially designed with pro pianists to reduce error touches)

• Realistic piano sounds

• Selectable TREBLE or BASS CLEF

• Selectable KEY SIGNATURES, from 7 FLATS (C-flat maj) to 7 SHARPS (C-sharp maj)

• SHARP/FLAT take effect for the whole measure (4 notes) as you would expect on a real music score

• NATURAL symbol also appears, to cancel the above effect

• High score ranking and name entry (challenge your friends!)

• You can play the game whilst listening to music on your iPhone/iPod

Although there are other music playing apps around, many of them don’t give exercises in sharp/flat/natural carry overs (which is essential training for beginners or experts), so this app is very effective in this respect.

The best way to improve your music reading speed is by repeated exercises, so SightRead is the perfect way to procrastinate without feeling guilty!

This authentic Vegas Slots game really makes you feel like your on the Strip! Its modeled after a real machine – I purchased the machine an copied the graphics, action, payout, etc. If you like slots, you’ll LOVE SlotsOFun 2.0

Blastoff into space with this hopelessly addictive title from people operating technology. Rocket Monkey offers fast, adrenaline paced fun by allowing you to control an “all business” monkey as he flies through space. This isn’t so easy…The pull of gravity from below is strong and the asteroids won’t stop coming your way! Help Rocket Monkey escape and navigate through unchartered deep space. Only you can protect him from what lays ahead.

Good Luck All! My score is currently 3rd world wide, but the competition is about to heat up. Who is the best? Hope you like the music BTW.

As we all know, iPhone provides a built-in timer tool in Clock, which is very simple and has few limited features. It only shows numbers of time on the screen; you can only set an alarm sound when the timer ends; you can only define the time in hours/minutes, not in seconds.

Hourglass Timer Logo

However, Hourglass Timer is a fully featured timer, which shows you not only the number of time clearly, but also an animated golden hourglass with falling sands, which let you see the passing time vividly. When you hold your iPhone or iPod touch horizontally or vertically, or even upside down, Hourglass Timer will be automatically switched between landscape mode and portrait mode. Even you can define the time in hours/minutes/seconds.

What’s more, in portrait mode, the height of hourglass and time areas can be adjusted by dragging the middle bar. If you’d like to enjoy the hourglass animation, you can drag the middle bar to increase the height of hourglass area. Or if you’d like to see numbers of time more clearly, you can increase the height of time area. The middle bar can be dragged at any time, even when the timer is working.

Here are the other features that the built-in timer does not have:
* Shake to pause or resume with a tip sound.
*Enable vibration or a flashing popup window when the timer ends.
* When 30 seconds left, it warns with a Tic-Tac sound and the numbers are changed into blue from white.
*Supports countdown mode.

Surely, there are other must-have features for a timer. We do not list here one by one. If you are interested, please visit http://iphone.sothink.com for more detailed info.
