Tapt – Donegal-developed and published rhythm game

What you may need to know…

01. Because not all musical endeavour involves bands and artists, presented for your consideration: Tapt, an Irish-developed rhythm game for iOS.

02. Developed and self-published by Donegal man Stephen Coyle, the game focuses on rhythm rather than melody, unlike a lot of similar endeavours, and encourages attention to detail in listening to said tunes.

03. Streaming above is a playthrough of the first stage by French mobile-game YouTuber First Stage, demonstrating its capabilities.

04. Get it at the App Store, and check the various expansion packs. Every purchase helps fund Coyle’s development of an educational edition of the app.

VERDICT: An interesting concept that should rightly help a lot of people with the basics of rhythm, and provide a satisfying puzzle-game experience on the way.

Want to meet single rescue dogs in your area?

There’s a yapp for that.

I’ve created an app, Fourpaws, as a central place for rescues in Ireland to post dog profiles that are up for adoption. I’m hoping to create more awareness for Rescues and encourage people to #adoptdontbuy.
The app is available on Android and iOS now (see link below]. The app allows users to like and dislike their way through dog profiles with options to see more info on the dog, more info on the Rescue, Apply to Adopt and an option to Donate to the Rescue. It’s all for a great cause, and all for free – I just want to do my bit for the dog crisis we currently have in Ireland.

Last month I launched a new app for laundry and dry cleaning in Dublin. It’s basically a set-up like Uber or Hailo for getting your clothes cleaned. No more rushing to the cleaners either as it runs ‘till late. You just download the app, select what you want cleaned and we come and collect it from you wherever you are….

I’m a Dublin native who’s always been tech obsessed. Love gadgets and anything that makes my life a bit easier. I was working in finance for 4 years and ironing shirts & getting to the dry cleaners was a bit of an inconvenience, either they were closed after work or I didn’t get up early enough on a Saturday morning. Decided I couldn’t be the only one and there had to be an easier way….;

You are Peter Splash, and you have the unenviable job of reading water meters on a busy Irish Street. Trying to stop you are angry protesters, even angrier dogs, burst water mains, cars, and more.

Sébastien Molines and his son Theo and partner Judith Printed to Size.

 

That day is NOW.

You may recall flamboyantly fringed, razor-cheekboned, Dublin-based Frenchman Sébastien Molines and his child growth app.

Sébastien writes:

I have another app..Print to Size is a simple WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) editor for images on a page, with a helpful display showing the printed size and resolution of the selected image.

It works like this: You choose the paper size you intend to print on (US Letter, A4, 4×6″ or others). You add one or more images anywhere you want on the page. You resize and crop your images to physical dimensions (inches or cm). You print or export as PDF

The app is FREE until Valentine’s Day and It has no ads and never will. It works on any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 8. Direct printing requires an AirPrint-compatible printer, but the app can also export as PDF to let you print via other methods.

I would love to get  feedback from Broadsheet readers.
