Just in Time for Christmas: It’s AngrySanta!

Posted on December 19, 2010 by Jason

It’s not easy being jolly all of the time – just ask Santa Claus! A holiday season full of messy kids, grumbling elves, and flying reindeer can make for a grumpy Santa come Christmas! Poke, prod, rub and shake Santa Claus to see how he reacts. Just be careful – annoy him too much and you might end up on the naughty list. No presents for you this year!

Creating AngrySanta was quite a bit of fun!  We had been working the past few months on redeveloping the AngryApp platform to allow for several new features, and with the Christmas holiday forthcoming, AngrySanta felt a natural fit.  To make sure our Santa had just the right sound, we hired professional actor Steve O’Neill who proceeded to hit the ball out of the park with his edgy Santa comments.

AngrySanta is available for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Land Mark Products Innovation Station

Posted on October 7, 2010 by Jason

Recently developed by Nolasoft:  The Land Mark Products Innovation Station

Innovation Station

Land Mark Products provides turn-key food vendor operations as Piccadilly Circus Pizza and Day ‘N Night Bites Sandwiches.  As part of their ongoing efforts to deliver customers the best food choices possible, they wanted a fun and interactive way to survey the public regarding favorite sandwich and pizza combinations.  From this, the Innovation Station was born.

The Innovation Station allows the user to interactively build a pizza or sandwich, selecting from several ingredients in each step of the build process, and allowing the user to suggest a “Better Idea” for each step if they have one.  This then feed back to the company for later possible inclusion in their pizza and sandwich offerings.

AngryCat 1.2 and iTriangle 2.01 Released!

Posted on July 12, 2010 by Jason

It’s been a busy month here at Nolasoft!  In the last week, two of our apps have received significant updates that have been approved by Apple.

Previously, we had submitted iTriangle 1.2 for release, but after a rejection from Apple, we decided to expand the feature set significantly!  We then took the same feature set and applied them to AngryCat.

New features for iTriangle include:

  • iOS 4 support
  • High-resolution artwork for the iPhone 4 retina display
  • iPad support
  • Now has three distinct ding zones – depending on where you tap the iTriangle, the chimes vary for a more realistic sound
  • Two-finger swipe to change the background color

Download iTriangle Free here!

New features for AngryCat include:

  • iOS 4 support
  • High-resolution artwork for the iPhone 4 retina display
  • iPad support

Download AngryCat Free here!

In addition, the paid versions of both apps now include the ability to rotate into landscape mode, and the free versions now have an in-app upgrade available to the “Plus” paid version, removing ads and enabling landscape mode.

iTriangle 1.1 Resubmitted to Apple – New and Improved!

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Jason

iTriangle 1.1 has once again been submitted to Apple for approval.  The app features some additional improvements over the previous 1.1 submission.

This update is for the $0.99 version of iTriangle and not available for the free ad-supported version at this time.

What’s New in 1.1?

  • iPad support!  And not just “plays well as an iPhone app on the iPad”, but full-screen, resolution optimized iPad support.  Plus it’s a universal binary, so existing iTriangle users will automagically have access to the iPad-optimized version directly!
  • Rotation support.  iTriangle now rotates to the orientation of your device, so if you like to ding right-side-up, upside-down, on your side, or reversed, the app will rotate to fit your needs.
  • Background colors.  You can now change the background color of iTriangle by swiping left-to-right or right-to-left.
  • Positional dings.  Just as the chime of a real triangle varies slightly depending on what third of the triangle you strike, the chime in iTriangle now varies based on which side of the iTriangle you tap.  For additional dinging fun, you can also now drag your finger around the screen and the app will chime as you go from one part of the iTriangle to another.

So, Where Do I Get It?

iTriangle 1.1 Submitted to Apple

Posted on May 4, 2010 by Jason

We are excited to announce that we have submitted update 1.1 of iTriangle to Apple for review to release on the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad platform.  This update is for the $0.99 version of iTriangle and not available for the free ad-supported version at this time.

What’s New in 1.1?

  • iPad support!  And not just “plays well as an iPhone app on the iPad”, but full-screen, resolution optimized iPad support.  Plus it’s a universal binary, so existing iTriangle users will automagically have access to the iPad-optimized version directly!
  • Rotation support.  iTriangle now rotates to the orientation of your device, so if you like to ding right-side-up, upside-down, on your side, or reversed, the app will rotate to fit your needs.

Why Only Update the Paid Version?

At this time, only the paid version of iTriangle has been updated.  This is largely due to there being a current lack of good iPad-compatible ad networks at this time, especially ones supporting the ad format and size we need.  This isn’t to say that we’ll never update the free version to have iPad support, but there is no current plan to do so until the iPad ad landscape changes.

But if you’re an iTriangle fan and want an iPad version, the $0.99 paid version is really pretty cheap - for the cost of a McDonald’s cheeseburger, you can rock out on the iPad!

Why Was iTriangle the First App to Be Updated to iPad Support?

We needed to start somewhere, and iTriangle had probably the least number of changes to make it iPad compatible while still retaining it’s core use.  Plus iTriangle has a surprisingly large international appeal, so having it potentially available as an international launch app sounded pretty cool.  But don’t worry, there are more iPad-compatible apps coming down the pipeline.
