First look: iShear by new NZ developers HeyApps
New Zealand really does have a growing community of iPhone OS developers, we are even importing them now! The latest is a Wellington based company called HeyApps, and is run by Manuela and Lionel. Manu is Italian and Lio is French and they now live here in New Zealand. They have just released iShear, a sheep shearing game that is ‘NZ inspired’. We thought we’d take a look, see what it’s like and give Manu and Lio a bit of welcome to New Zealand. So what’s it like? Hit the ‘Read More’ to find out…

Kiwi app review: Ciao Baby
Ciao Baby is a Kiwi-developed app to help parents with hard-to-settle babies who have tried to use the ‘controlled-crying’ or ‘Ferber’ method (where baby is reassured at regular intervals while he or she ‘cries it out’), but who get lost with the timing. As a Dad to a seventeen-month-old baby boy I am no stranger to this problem, and depending on your take on this rather emotive subject, this could be the solution.

App Store Essentials: LogMeIn Ignition lets you take your Mac or PC with you
If you’re not familiar with LogMeIn, you’re missing out on one of the best online tools around. Available in free or paid-subscription versions, LogMeIn lets you access your Mac or PC from any other computer in the world easily and securely. And I don’t mean just accessing your files and folders, but the whole thing – your entire desktop environment. Through the web browser of the computer you’re sat at, you can log in to your home computer and control it just as if you were at the computer itself.
Well now LogMeIn is available for both iPhone and iPad. Both versions come bundled together as one app, and at $38.99 it sounds expensive but it’s an investment that is certainly worth consideration. If you want to be able to access your computer on the move, you’ll forget about the cost after just a few minutes of use.
