Announcing Coloursphere

You might be asking, “What’s with the name change?”. Well, Apple rejected the previous name, claiming they have a trademark on the letters POD, so we had a contest to pick the new name. The winner, with 22% of the vote was Coloursphere.

Coloursphere has been submitted to Apple, and unless we get any more surprises during the approval process, it should be available some time next week for the price of $0.99. Check out the Coloursphere product page for more information.

Name that App!

Kris Harris — Fri, 21 May 2010 23:24:07 +0000

As we had feared, Apple has rejected the name ‘Colourpod’ for trademark reasons. So, we’re launching a challenge to let YOU decide the name of the app. Take a look at the video below, and tell us what you think it should be called, then vote on the poll to the right.
Don’t like any of our suggestions? No problem! Leave a comment on this page with your name suggestions, and we will add them to the poll. If we use your suggestion, you’ll win a free copy of the app (once it’s approved for sale by Apple)

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Announcing Colourpod

Kris Harris — Fri, 07 May 2010 16:59:35 +0000

@qrunchmonkey decided to do a little experiment: Would it be possible to create an app that is up to our standards in only two weeks? Well, the experiment was a success. So, today we’re announcing our latest app: Colourpod – A streamlined colour picker and colour scheme generator for iPhone and iPod touch.

It’s not available quite yet, there are still a few edges to polish (and still a few days in @qrunchmonkey’s self-imposed deadline.) But, if you’d like to get a sneak peak at it, we’re looking for some beta testers. Head over to our contact page or twitter profile and ask to be included in the Colourpod beta!

It’s FREE!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at Improbable Sciences, our first game 8 Track Mind is now finished and has been submitted to Apple for approval. If all goes well, 8 Track Mind should be available on the App Store by early next week. To celebrate this, we’ve created a trailer. Check it out below, and please comment & rate it on youtube

Click here to view the embedded video.

Additionally, iPhone Alley has written up a preview of 8 Track Mind:

This game has the potential to trigger a lot more creativity in the genre of musical games. It’s very well designed, tons of fun, and most importantly it allows you to be creative with the awesome set of samples included with the game. Needless to say, we’re very excited to see this gem hit the App Store.

Also: Become a fan of 8 Track Mind on Facebook! If we have over 100 fans on Facebook before 8 Track Mind is released, we will pick a fan at random and give them a free copy of 8 Track Mind (only valid in the United States app store)
