App Recommendation: Figure
App: Figure
Price: $0.99
Category: Music
Why we like it: Figure is a simple enjoyable way to create electronic music. No need for knowledge, no need for solfège. The app is designed for the mobile user on the go. You can create a cool sound in few minutes combining drums, bass synth and lead synth together. The sound quality is good and the app has a beautiful minimalistic interface, each graphic element having a function or a purpose. It's a stimulating app to create your own addictive beat.
How to send us crash reports from an iOS app
At ReignDesign, we always test our apps thoroughly before releasing them. But we're human, and occasionally apps can crash because of a combination of circumstances we didn't consider. If one of our apps crashes on your device, sometimes we'll ask if you can send us a crash report to help us diagnose the problem. Here's how to do that:
1. Sync your iOS device to iTunes on your Mac or PC.
2. Open the folder on your computer that contains crash logs for your iOS device:
On Mac OSX
a) Go to the Finder
b) From the "Go" menu choose "Go to folder..."
c) Enter ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice and click the "Go" button
d) A Finder window will open, open the sub-folder whose name matches your iOS device
On Windows XP
a) Press the "windows" key and the "e" key at the same time to open a new "Windows Explorer" window
b) In the "Address" area at the top of the window paste in %HOMEPATH%\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter and hit the "ENTER" key on your keyboard.
c) Open the sub-folder whose name matches your iOS device
On Windows Vista & Windows 7 & Windows 8
a) Press the "windows" key and the "e" key at the same time to open a new "Windows Explorer" window
b) In the "Address" area at the top of the window paste in "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice" and hit the "enter" key on your keyboard.
c) Open the sub-folder whose name matches your iOS device
Now, two final steps:
3. Find the crash reports you wish to send (for example anything starting with "PigRush_")
4. Attach them to an email and send to support@reigndesign.com
Introducing Biblegram by Bible Promises : share your moments
ReignDesign is pleased to announce the release of our latest app, Biblegram! If you already use our popular app "Bible Promises" you'll love using Biblegram. Biblegram is like Instagram - but with a Biblical twist!
Biblegram lets you "share your moments" and the word of God. Take a photo, select a Bible verse, and share it with loved ones via email, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We've spent several months getting Biblegram ready with a group of beta testers, and we received lots of great feedback:
"Love the app! Great job and it looks GORGEOUS on my iPhone 5!
Another great Bible/Christian app winner in my opinion." ~ Elias, Biblegram beta tester
Biblegram is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch with iOS6.0. Download it today for the special launch price of $1.99.
Which country has the most expensive iPhone apps, relative to the price of a Big Mac?
Apple now provides local currency billing for the App Store for 24 countries and territories around the world. That means that an app priced at 0.99 USD in the United States is priced at varying amounts around the world, for example 0.69 GBP in the UK and 6 CNY in China.
Of course, due to changing currency exchange rates, that means that users some countries end up paying more than others. We crunched the numbers for a "Tier 1" (0.99 USD) app using exchange rates from xe.net for 14 November 2012, to get this ranking:
As you can see, Norway and Denmark are currently the most expensive, costing 20% more than an equivalent app in the US, while South Africa has the cheapest apps, costing 10% less than the US.
Of course, a raw conversion to USD doesn't tell the whole story. People in different countries have different spending powers.
The Economist creates a famous "Big Mac Index" which compares Purchasing Power Parity using the price of an item available globally: the Big Mac. We used the numbers for July 2012 to compare the price of apps and Big Macs.
By this measure, India, Hong Kong and Russia have the most expensive apps in the world, with burgers around 2 times the cost of an app. By contrast, the lucky Swedes can purchase 6.9 apps for the price of a Big Mac (7 SEK versus 48.4 SEK). The US also has relatively cheap apps (or expensive burgers), clocking in at 4.4 apps per burger.
