Paper, Slingshot, Snapchat

You get to know these three Apps. Slingshot, Snapchat are bringing the user experience of IM into next generation, which is must lighter and faster. Paper is redesigning the way we think of Facebook.

Paper (Facebook)

Its UI is never seem at other place, and the user is having different sections to follow. Folding and unfolding interface is very fun and user-friendly.

Slingshot (Facebook)

It's released on 7/31, 2014, which is pretty new at this point. Facebook is trying to create a new photo-based IM experience. This may be inspired by Snapchat.

Snapchat (Rejected Facebook's $3 Billion Offer)

Snapchat is pretty famous for rejecting Facebook's $3 Billion offer, and it's popular for teenagers. It's fun, you are having a pretty light chatting experience, and don't have to worry too much on telling secrets. Ha.

If You Can't Find Them on App Store...

Some of them may just available on U.S. market; however, it is pretty easy to switch your account to different region (switch your account to U.S if you're not in U.S):

1. Click on "Apple ID" at the bottom of "Featured" tab in App Store
2. Click on "View Apple ID", it may request for your password
3. Click on "Country/Region", pick "United State", and you will set them up correctly by pressing many times of "Next" button

"Pitch It" is Released

App Site: http://pitchit.nctucs.net/
Apple Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pitch-it-perfect-pitch-challenge/id736721019?ls=1&mt=8

I've been working on this app, "Pitch It", for around one month. This interesting work is cooperated with Shumin, who has brought out lots of beautiful design and being a great partner.

"Pitch It" is a note guessing game. It plays a music note and ask to the user to tell if he/she can tell which note it is. People define a person who have "absolute pitch" or "perfect pitch" if he/she can answer more than 70% of the questions. With this app, the app can tell if you have "absolute pitch" or not.

On the other hand, this app is fast-implemented. I wanted to see how the Apple Store distribution works. That was a little complicated, and take a long for app reviewing by Apple. There, I write done time when the state is changed of this app on iTunes Connect.
