We’re back with another game-changing test prep app for the iPhone. This time we worked with Kaplan Medical to create a mobile version of their online Qbank product for the USMLE Step 1 (a medical licensing exam). It took some effort to cram all the functionality of Qbank into a tiny iPhone, but we’re quite pleased with the result. Hopefully having access to Qbank on the go will help our friends in med school get some much-needed sleep.
Did we mention that Kaplan Step 1 Qbank is free? Also you get a 25% discount off the full online Qbank when you download the app!

Surprise! We’re actually posting a timely entry on the blog. Check out e-Faces and Names, our latest app for the iPhone. It’s a memory game which requires you to remember names and occupations for faces shown in the game.
e-Faces is the third app we’ve developed for our good friends at MyBrainSolutions.com. There’s more games to come in the near future, including versions for BlackBerry. Special thanks to Jeff Garneau for another great effort.

Check out one of our newest apps for the iPhone, e-Catch the Feeling. It’s a health and wellness game which helps improve your mood - the goal is to quickly pop bubbles containing positive words while ignoring the negative words. It’s surprisingly fun and gets quite challenging by the end.
e-Catch has actually been in the App Store for a couple months, but as usual we’ve been too busy with other projects to blog it. It’s the second app we’ve developed for MyBrainSolutions.com and our first game on the iPhone. Special thanks to lead developer Jeff Garneau for his hard work on the project.

Although we released the MyCalmBeat app for iPhone over a month ago, we never got around to blogging it. A few days ago version 1.1 was approved into the App Store. It provides the usual bug fixes and UI improvements, and adds much-requested audio cues so you don’t need to watch the breathing bar to stay on pace with your optimal breathing rate.
If you haven’t tried it yet, MyCalmBeat is one of the many online brain health training solutions offered by MyBrainSolutions (the first to go mobile - we’re working on more). Basically it helps you lower your stress and become more resilient to anxiety-inducing situations by training you to maximize your heart rate variability. You can read more about the science here.

Nice! What’s Invasive is listed as a Staff Favorite in the iTunes App Store. I guess that means we’ll have to bite our tongues the next time we get an App Store rejection.
In case you missed it, our What’s Invasive iPhone app was released to the public last week. If you live near Los Angeles and enjoy the outdoors it’s a must-download. Also it looks like we’ll be working on a nationwide version of What’s Invasive, so watch for that.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted on the blog, but we’ve been really busy with a few interesting projects. One of them, “What’s Invasive”, has just been released in the App Store after a lengthy review from Apple. In collaboration with CENS and the Santa Monica Mountains National Reserve, we created an iPhone app that enables visitors to easily document invasive plants in the park. The geo-tagged photos captured by users go directly to the invasive plant management group at the park so it can decide how to best handle the infestation. The mapped data is also available to the public. Also, check out the press our beta version got in National Geographic.
