Amazon App Store: Free App of the Day

Sun, January 8, 2012: Moon Phase Pro

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, January 8, 2012 is Moon Phase Pro!



Application Description:

The moon's image is specific to your time and place

When you open Moon Phase Pro, you see an image of the current moon, big and beautiful. This realistic simulation accurately depicts the phase, and crescent angle, as seen from your location. Near new moon, it even simulates earthshine on the dark side.

The app's main activity also shows key, current information about the moon: its phase percentage and name, the time until the nearest new and full moons, and the moon rise and set times bracketing the present. Everything is there, at a glance.

Finally, this view of the moon is fully interactive. Drag your finger over its surface and the lighted area moves with your touch; stop dragging, and the data fields update to indicate on what day the moon will look like what you see. You also can "spin" the shadow with your phone's trackball/touchpad, or go directly to a date and time of interest by direct entry. You can even change your "observer" location to see what the moon looks like from the other side of the world.

Calendar

Press Menu, open Moon Phase Pro's Calendar activity, and see the entire month's phases at once. The current day is highlighted, and the dates of major phases--full, new, and quarters--are outlined. For the big picture, tap any day and it will open full-screen in the main activity. You can also easily skip to another month by using the buttons in the title bar.

Data Page

For a complete set of details, open Moon Phase Pro's Data page, and see full astronomical data about the moon. There's even information about the sun included. It all updates automatically, in real time. Like the rest of the app, the Data page can easily be switched to show another day, or a different observer location on the Earth. Want to know when the moon will rise on New Year's Day in Fiji? No problem.

Home Screen Features

Moon Phase Pro's functionality isn't contained within the app itself. Three of its features can be added directly to your device's home screen:

Twenty-four hours before each major phase, Moon Phase Pro will notify you that it's about to happen. Optionally, it can play your phone's default notification sound.Moon Phase Pro comes with four sizes of widget, from a tiny one the same size as a single shortcut up to a giant one that fills an entire home screen pane.Don't want to devote valuable home screen real estate to another widget? Moon Phase Pro comes with a live wallpaper, keeping an image of the current moon always in the background. If you have an older (or lower-spec) Android phone that doesn't support live wallpapers, Moon Phase Pro has wallpaper functionality of its own. It looks just like the "true" live wallpaper, and updates just as automatically, without you needing to upgrade your phone.

Tue, January 10, 2012: Fluffy Birds Deluxe

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Tue, January 10, 2012 is Fluffy Birds Deluxe!



Application Description:

Slide rows and columns of cuddly birds to form groups of 3 or more

In Puzzle mode, match a puzzle pattern in as few moves as possible

Meet Your New, Fluffy Friends

Lovers of match-three games, visual puzzles, and super-adorable birdies are in luck: hours of challenging fun await you in Fluffy Birds Deluxe, a game for your Android device. Sit back, relax, and match groups of similarly-colored birds in three separate game modes. As you play, enjoy soothing sounds and high-definition graphics featuring some seriously cuddly birds.

Three Ways to Play

In this game, the learning curve is gentle--much like the birds themselves. You can choose from three modes, each of which features lots of feathery friends perched on wires. No matter what mode you play, you'll shift entire rows and columns of birds to form groups. But each mode offers a distinct play experience.

In Casual mode, you'll be given a certain amount of time in which to match groups of similarly-colored birds. You'll earn points for every group of three that you form, as well as for sets of bonus eggs that pop up now and again. See how many matches you can make before time runs out!

Relaxation mode is exactly what it suggests: a dialed-down version of Casual mode. There's no clock here, so take your time as you match groups of birds and send them on their way. You may even discover some Zen-like satisfaction as you settle into the relaxed vibe.

Puzzle mode is a bit different. Here, you'll shift rows of birds to match a pattern that's been pre-set by the computer--the fewer moves you make, the better your score. Start with an easy puzzle, then progress through increasingly difficult challenges. There are 20 different mind-bending puzzles to work with, so you'll find plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Have fun!

Brain-teasing Fun

Word Ball provides a fun brain-training exercise by making you focus and think on your feet while building words as quickly as possible.

The game features high-resolution display graphics and includes an extensive dictionary with 175,000+ words, as well as an in-game word list.

Think fast and stay on your toes

How to Play

Your aim in Word Ball is to build words with the letters you're given. As you play, the letters will bounce around the screen and shrink, making it more challenging as time goes on. In Classic Mode, you're presented with 26 letters, and the game progresses at a normal pace. In Frenzy Mode, the letters shrink faster. Select Sprint Mode for a different challenge where you will create words out of nine letters for each level.

Points vary by letter and word length. The app's settings let you turn sounds and music on or off and will show or hide game tips as you play.

A Classic Game of Wits

AI Factory's Reversi brings the classic board game to your Android phone. Reversi sports a clean and intuitive interface, features 10 levels of difficulty, and provides an Undo button if you want to make a different move. Play against the AI or a human opponent.

Reversi is played on an 8x8 grid. The game begins with four tokens: two light tokens for the first opponent and two dark tokens for the second opponent. The tokens are placed next to each other at the center of the board.

Plenty of options

Reverse Psychology

You must place your token so that two of your tokens are on two sides of your opponent's single token or line of tokens. The tokens between your two tokens are then flipped over to your color. Conversely, your opponent flips your tokens to his color in the same manner.

The object of the game, of course, is to end up with more tokens by the time game board is filled up. Reversi, much like chess and go, is a duel of cunning strategy and cold logic. The corners and edges of the board are crucial to the game. You should do your best not to give up these positions.

Full of Options

This Reversi app comes loaded with options. Choose from two different boards and tokens, and toggle the sound, screen transitions, and legal moves. Get suggestions from the AI on your next move, and keep track of your games against the AI at all 10 levels. Reversi also comes with the full rules.

With multiple challenging chapters to solve and engaging game-play features, Router is a winner for puzzle lovers.

Puzzle-solving, brain-teasing entertainment

Nine Challenging Chapters

Router features nine different chapters, each full of more than a dozen puzzles that increase in difficulty as you progress. In each puzzle, you will connect the similarly colored dots with continuous lines by tracing your finger on the screen. More advanced levels will present you with more dots in new and unique positions. You will earn more points for making shorter connections. An undo button is provided if you make a mistake.

As you would expect, Chapter 1 starts off easy enough, but the difficulty soon picks up. Each subsequent chapter will require increased intellectual dexterity. Once you hit Chapter 3, you will be required to earn enough points in prior chapters to unlock more.

Earn Bonus Points; Get Hints

If your mental acuity is up to the task, you'll be able to solve each puzzle with a perfect five-star score. For your efforts, you will be rewarded with a Star Point, which you can spend to gain Hints if you find yourself stuck in subsequent puzzles. With a worldwide leaderboard, you can see how your scores stack up with other players from around the globe.

Electrifying Graphics and Smooth Controls

Router brings you hours of brain-teasing fun along with smooth touch controls, which makes for a completely satisfying puzzling experience. Depending on your device, you can adjust the quality of the graphics as well as the sound volume and other game settings to ensure it suits your preferences.
