Our Apps

Here’s a brief overview of each of our Apps – arranged by the date they were released (with the newest at the top).

Juiced

Juiced. Tapping the screen toggles the more detailed info on and off

Juiced. Tapping the screen toggles the more detailed info on and off

When you launch Juiced you’ll see your battery fill with the mysterious glowing fluid that powers your iPhone. As it drains away the color changes from green through orange to red and the glow slowly fades.

Put it on charge and watch your battery pulse with an electric blue glow as the fluid starts to fill up.

Juiced shows you as much or as little battery info as you need. The beautifully rendered graphics accurately reflect the remaining battery charge. Tap anywhere to toggle a more detailed overlay (lines and numbers) so you can see exactly how much juice you’ve got.

Rotate the screen for the landscape view which gives you a much more detailed breakdown of what this percentage actually means to you in terms of: Talk time, Standby time, Internet use, Audio playback & Video playback.

PlaySafe

PlaySafe - listen to your iPod safely when driving

PlaySafe - listen to your iPod safely when driving

PlaySafe is designed to make using your iPhone or iPod touch easier to operate when driving (and therefore safer). We’ve made the whole screen one giant button so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road and search for tiny icons. You can easily control your music with simple finger gestures without even looking at the screen! Just tap anywhere on the screen to start or stop the music or swipe sideways to skip to the next or previous tracks.

Just tap anywhere on the screen to start or stop the music or swipe sideways to skip to the next or previous tracks.
If you do decide to sneak a look at the screen you won’t be disappointed – PlaySafe looks great too. It’s minimal interface leaves plenty of room for your cover artwork to shine. Touching the screen causes huge on-screen icons to fade in and out so you can tell at a glance what you’re doing. The track information is displayed in a large font which intelligently scales so you won’t have to squint. PlaySafe looks great even if you don’t have any album cover art – the default display looks better than some of the covers in our collections anyway.Just tap anywhere on the screen to start or stop the music or swipe sideways to skip to the next or previous tracks.

StarTime

StarClock

StarTime - boldly going where no iPhone clock has gone before

Chilli X, in collaboration with LCARS Computer Network, are proud to present StarTime, a date and time clock to keep you on time in your trek from star to star.

StarTime displays the time and date in a large easy-to-read display on your iPhone or iPod touch. Authentic animations and sounds will make you feel like you’re on the bridge of your favorite Starship.

StarTime overrides your auto-lock setting so your phone won’t automatically go to sleep making it ideal as a desk clock when your device is on charge or even a night stand clock using the built-in dimmer function.

The sounds can be set to play randomly, to chime on the hour or switched off all together. You can also choose to listen to music from your iPod while StarTime is running.

P.A.C – Playlist Alarm Clock

P.A.C. go to sleep and wake up listening to your favorite tunes

P.A.C. go to sleep and wake up listening to your favorite tunes

Playlist Alarm Clock lets you create two playlists of songs from your iPhone or iPod touch – one to go to sleep with and one to wake up with.
You can build your own playlists within  P.A.C. by adding individual songs but it’s probably easier to create 2 new playlists in iTunes – something nice & relaxing to lull you off to sleep and something a little bit more energetic to wake you with a smile. Then you can easily add all the songs in one go.
Just tap on the Sleep or Wake areas of the screen and the panels will slide open, switching those functions on and allowing you to set up your playlists and configure your options.
Sleep: choose your playlist then decide how long it will take for the music to fade out. You can choose as many songs as you like. If you only choose a few songs to listen to, P.A.C will simply repeat them as required for the duration of the time you’ve specified.
The progress bar shows at a glance the time period you’ve chosen and how far through it you are.
Wake: set the time you want to wake up and how long you want the music to fade in for this time in seconds rather than minutes). You can also choose to activate the snooze function.
You can use P.A.C however you like: to listen to music as you go to sleep and/or as an alarm clock or just a night stand clock. It’s easy to see which features are turned on or off at a glance.
Note: P.A.C doesn’t make copies of your songs – it just references them in your iPod library, so if you delete the songs from your phone, P.A.C won’t be able to find them. That’s why it’s a good idea to create a couple of playlists specially for P.A.C.

Punch Bag Buddy is ideal for exercising when using a punch bag or training partner, or for shadow boxing.

Here’s how it works -Set the duration of your workout, set the intensity of your workout, choose the commands you want to use during your workout – GO!

Punch Bag Buddy uses a large number of high quality voice commands to instruct your next move – for example, ‘Jab’, ‘Hook’, ‘Guard Up!’.

NightTime Plus - huge, easy to read display

Size matters – quite simply, NightTime Plus is the biggest and best looking digital clock in the App Store. The huge numbers are easy to read even from across the room.

Any color you like – not only can your numbers can be any color you want, NightTime Plus also has the unique abilty to add textures to the colors to create a truly personalized display.

Portrait or lanscape – NightTime Plus supports either mode, so whichever way you use your phone you know you’ll be getting the biggest, clearest display there is.

AboutTime


Why do you need to know the exact time?

Why do you need to know the exact time?

AboutTime tells you ‘about what time it is‘ featuring beautifully rendered typography on a light parchment background. AboutTime is bright during the day and dark at night so you’ll always know if it’s day or night. It makes an ideal (and unusual) bedside clock. As well as telling the time in a unique and unconventional way, you can flip the pages to reveal entertaining quotes and musings on the nature of time itself.

MyCal

MyCal March update

MyCal

MyCal allows you to create beautiful calendar wallpapers for your iPhone or iPod touch. It’s as simple as:

1. Choose a picture from our selection of our original designs or pick your own from your photo albums

2. Pick the calendar style that works best with your image

3. Adjust the transparency until it looks just right

4. Preview your masterpiece then click ‘Save’ to finish or ‘Cancel’ to go back and adjust your settings

Your calendar will be saved to your Camera Roll where you can then set it as your wallpaper in the normal way (using the Photos or Settings apps).

We’ve included a library of unique pictures to get you started, but you can easily use any photo from your own albums (or the web). You can create as many calendar wallpapers as you like and even share them with friends. You could even switch the calendar off and just use this as a collection of original wallpaper designs.

PhotoFrame: Wild!

PhotoFrame: Wild!

PhotoFrame: Wild!

PhotoFrame: Wild! is a special, limited edition version of Chilli X’s popular PhotoFrame app. This version is populated with some spectacular wildlife photography courtesy of Shamwari – voted the world’s leading game reserve for eleven consecutive years.

PhotoFrame: Wild! also acts as a digital clock by clearly displaying the time and date beneath the photo. PhotoFrame: Wild! overrides your auto-lock setting so your slideshow will continue for as long as you wish. This makes it ideal to keep running while your device is docked and on charge.

Other settings allow you to vary the length of time each picture is displayed and select either 12 or 24 hour time display. PhotoFrame: Wild! has a very clean, simple interface – just tap on the clock area of the screen to access the settings screen. Tap on the main photo to advance to the next picture if you don’t want to wait for it to change automatically.

Done

Done - all your important tasks on your startscreen

Done - all your important tasks on your startscreen

Done is an innovative task manager with some unique features that make it easy and more importantly, enjoyable to use.

We’ve taken advantage of the iPhone’s abilities to create a To Do list like no other:

Shake to sort - shake your phone and your list is automatically sorted – important items at the top, completed ones at the bottom.

Wallpaper – Done has a unique ‘SnapShot’ feature which captures your most important tasks and saves them to your Camera Roll so that you can set them as your wallpaper. This means that every time you turn your phone on you can see what needs doing at a glance – without even starting the application!

Landscape mode - rotate the phone 90 degrees to access the powerful delete function – pressing a button has never been so satisfying.

Sound effects – checking items off, sorting lists and deleting items are all accompanied by pleasing sound effects.

Done gets the balance just right – not too simple – not too complex. There’s no contexts, tags, locations or due dates – just beautiful prioritised lists of things to do. The intuitive user interface means there’s no learning curve – you can get started instantly.

Done is the next best thing to having iCal’s To Do list in your pocket.

Prank BioScanner

BioScanner - scan your friends and control the result

BioScanner - scan your friends and control the result

BioScanner allows you to ’scan’ your friends (or enemies!) and reveal interesting facts about them. Are they Hot or Not? Are they a Dude or a Loser? Just point your phone at them and press the big red scan button, the program will locate them and do a full body scan then declare it’s result. The fun part is that you control the result by tilting the phone to the left or right – your friends will never know how you’re doing it.

The great thing is that you can customize the words used depending on the situation and person you are scanning to give a truly personalised result.

Mistletoe

xxx

Mistletoe - Jingle bells and a kiss. What more could you want?

Mistletoe, a light-hearted ‘interactive mistletoe simulator’. Simply hold Mistletoe above your head and shake the phone to produce the sound of tinkling bells to attract your prey, then pucker up and wait for the fun to start.

If you strike out, console yourself by pressing the screen and seeing a pair of luscious lips complete with kissing sound effects.

Better luck next time!

Chilli X’s Mistletoe has the following advantages over real mistletoe:

• the berries will not squish in your pocket

• does not need watering – lasts forever!

• plays jingle bells when shaken

• gives you a consolation kiss if you can’t find the real thing

  4. Photo Display Says:

    Wow nice guide for iphone. Thanx. Really interesting

  5. Avi Says:

    I just got the deskclock and I love it, simple, clean and does what I need it to do. One little request though, since I use it as a night clock as well it would be great to have a dimming feature.

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Avi

      thanks for the feedback – so far you’re the only person to ask for dimming in DeskClock! We’ve had a few requests for for alarms and Calendar event integration (pretty tricky) but none for dimming – we’ll add it to the list :)

      In the meantime, both NightTime and NightTime Plus are intended as night clocks and have a dimming feature – NightTime is free (so there’s no excuse) and but NightTime Plus is much cooler with adjustable colours and a voice controlled alarm feature – shout at it to turn it off (great fun)

  6. Glenn Says:

    if you could create an alarm when my tasks are due, I will buy your app immediately. I have a very busy schedule and I need more than a list. Please create this feature as it is the “standout” opportunity waiting to happen. When you create it, notify me and I’m buying the app!!

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Glenn

      thanks for the request – we’d love to do add an alarm feature to Done but unfortunately Apple don’t allow that on the iPhone – only with their own apps (which seems a bit unfair)

      Once you’ve quit out of an app or turned the phone off it’s effectively dead and can’t do anything until it’s live again so we could only set off an alarm if the iphone was on and Done was running – not much use…

      we’re looking at ways round this with the next version of the iPhone OS (v 3.0) which is out soon but it’s still unsure exactly how we could achieve it…

  7. Brian Says:

    NightTime Plus is the best bedside clock.
    And I like the new ’shout to snooze’ feature. But the sound does not wake me up man. Its too low and its a awful sound, I cant hear it.
    Why cant i pick what sound i want too wake up to?
    Like u can with the built in alarm on the iphone.

    Also if i run the built in alarm with NightTime Plus
    The shout to snooze feature does not work.

    I hope yous can sort this out.

    Brian

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Brian

      thanks for the feedback – sorry NT+ isn’t loud enough to wake you. We’ll add some new sounds soon and do an update – we can’t access the built in alarm sounds on the phone because Apple doesn’t allow it.

      I’m afraid the shout to snooze feature in NT+ won’t work with anything other than it’s own alarm – it isn’t listening for a sound until it knows it’s alarm is going (if that makes sense).

      Part of the problem with choosing an alarm sound for NT+ is that it has to have large gaps in the sound. If you think about it it makes sense – the phone can’t listen for a sound if it’s already making a sound – it will just hear itself and turn off!

  8. Travis Says:

    Just bought the PhotoFrame app and notice that it only works in portrait mode. While this works for me at home, where my dock is, I’ve got a paperclip stand at the office to hold it in landscape mode. I see many of the “other” picture frame apps have landscape modes – why not PhotoFrame?

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Travis

      when we first developed PhotoFrame there weren’t so many options for docks and stands as there are now so a landscape mode didn’t seem that important – but we’ve had a few requests for it now so we’re planning for a future update. Watch this space!

    • lrdnitecon Says:

      I agree im in for landscape mode. my phone always sits on its side on my desk. looking forward to the update. great app though

  9. tpromix Says:

    When are you going to make a desktop companion for Done… You guys could run circles around THINGS if you had a desktop sync….

  10. iAndy Says:

    Would it be possible to integrate some sort of online syncing with Done? Desktop sync would also be good, but online syncing is an almost must. Either via someone’s MobileMe account, your own website or perhaps using one of the many available free online services such as Toodledo to synchronise. This would help both the iPhone and any future Mac desktop clients sync too.

    Far too often a person is away from their computer when they are ticking off to do lists, so a desktop sync becomes less useful, making online syncing far more practical. If Done had this feature I would definitely buy it (I currently use To-Do which has Toodledo integration)

  11. Josean Says:

    Recently, I got NT Plus and Desk Clock. Great apps!! I find you are really made a great job with a unique style, simple, funtional and excellent graphic design! But how about simultaneos play-back support for desk clock and maybe an alarm built in feature?

    Keep Up! Saludos 2the staff

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Josean

      If you mean you want to playback music from the iPod while DeskClock is running then you can already can – try it! If this isn’t what you mean then let us know and we’ll try and help…

      As for an alarm feature in DeskClock – currently that would only work if DeskClock was actually running due to the restrictions in the way apps are allowed to work and we think that would just confuse and frustrate people. You could set you alarms using Apple’s Clock app and they’d go off whether DeskClock was running or not!

  12. Sander Says:

    Hi! I’ve just purchased PhotoFrame and so far loving it!
    Now I’ve made a couple of albums for pictures to use. Would it be possible in a future update to make it easier to add a bunch of pictures / a whole album at once instead of one-by-one. That way it’s much easier to change between different albums.

    Thanks!

    Sander

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Sander

      Thanks for the feedback. When we originally thought up PhotoFrame the ideas was to just let users choose an album of their favourite photos unfortunately we discovered you can’t do that with the current Apple Software Dev Kit. The only option was to pick them one at a time.

      We were hoping Apple might have fixed that in the soon-to-be-released version 3.0 but it doesn’t look like it… Maybe it will sneak in as a last minute change?

      • Sander Says:

        Thanks for your answer!

        Maybe it is possible then to save different configurations? That way you still can make different looking clocks very easy because you have to alter eacht configuration only once! (like a family/girlfriend clock for at home, and an art clock for at work)

    Hello , i’ve purchased the Done app, thanks 4 your work it’s great. How CAN I refresh the lock background with the task lists updated?

    Keep trying with StarTime. I’d love to have this app on my iPhone!

  16. Pauhana658 Says:

    Bought PhotoFrame some time ago. Quite nice, but I always felt that it would be vastly more useful if it had alarm functions. So I use Relax Alarm for waking up.

    Now I see that you’ve release Playlist Alarm Clock, which has all (and more) of the alarm functions I need and would make a nice alternative to Relax Alarm. But I’m somewhat surprised that PAC doesn’t raise the bar for desktop/nightstand applications by including PhotoFrame functions! That would really set PAC apart from the rest.

    A further refinement: Photos are displayed while your sleep playlist is playing, and then when the last song fades out, the photos also fade out, leaving just the clock at full-screen size for middle-of-the-night reference. In the morning, when the wake-up song list starts playing, the photos could fade in.

    Just an idea…

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Pauhana

      Thanks for the feedback and great ideas! We’re definitely looking at adding new features to P.A.C in the future and we like the sound of some of those…

  17. Pedro Says:

    I bought Playlist Alarm Clock and let me say that I was never so disappointed with an application that I paid for…
    You cannot control the sleep and the wake up volume. The application it’s really slow, if you select a big playlist it is almost impossible to use. It is not possible to wake or sleep with podcasts and the application does not shuffle the playlist you choose, it allways start with the first music on the list.
    I would like to know if there is any possibility to have my money back.

    Thanks

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Pedro

      thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with Playlist Alarm Clock, but there’s some good news and bad news.

      First the bad news – Apple don’t provide a facility for us as developers to issue refunds – you’d have to take it up with them. They are effectively the shop you bought it from.

      But the good news – hopefully you won’t feel the need for a refund. We’re working hard to fix all the issues you mention. An update to fix the volume problem has already been submitted and will go live as soon as Apple approves it. We’re also implementing a shuffle feature, night mode etc.

      We’re determined to make this the best of it’s kind on the iPhone.

      As for the problems you mention with big playlists – how many songs are in your list? We used some pretty big lists during testing and didn’t see any problems. Please let us know…

      In the meantime you could consider creating specific playlists for P.A.C as suggested in the help notes.

      Again, apologies for your disappointment but rest assured we’re doing all we can to make P.A.C perfect

  18. Bart Says:

    I just bought Nightime Plus after trialling the free version, but wanted the landscape view, so ponied up the 99c!
    I’m using on my work desktop as it charges.

    I then figured I wanted to know the date too and then found your desktop app here…so my request is a choice :
    1. Can you add the date to the Nighttime plus product or
    2. Add a Landscape view for the Desktop app?

    I’ve kind of wasted 99c and if you follow option 2 will drop another 99c but if it solves a problem…
    (You may also want to add a link into you Nightime lite app advertising the desktop product too – it was luck I found out about it!)

  19. Steve Says:

    I recent tried “PhotoFrame: Wild!” and really liked it, so I bought Phototframe to add my own pictures. Strangely, the paid for veriosn of phototframe does not have the nice curling page transition of the free version. Is there an update comming to add that?

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Steve

      We were/are using PhotoFrame: Wild! as a bit of a test bed for the main PhotoFrame so, yes, the idea is bring transitions to PhotoFrame itself soon… but you’re the only person that’s actually noticed!

  20. Ken Says:

    Hi Just got P.A.C. – Quick question – Once selected how can you delete a selected song.

  21. Rob Lewis Says:

    I’m going crazy. I got NightTime Plus a couple of days ago. I thought it had an alarm function but couldn’t find it. Then I let my kid play with my iPhone and he somehow accidentally brought up the alarm set function. I still can’t find it! Aargh!

    What’s the secret for setting an alarm in NT+? And why is it so well hidden?

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Rob

      sorry you’re having problems finding the alarm – we haven’t tried to hide it (honest).

      Just tap on the alarm symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring up the alarm settings.

      Note – if the phone is in landscape mode click in the top right corner – we forgot to move the hot spot (will be fixed in an upcoming update)

  22. Seth Says:

    Hi,

    I really like DeskClock, but I’d like to make a suggestion (which would apply to some of your other apps as well): when in 24-hour time, there shouldn’t be “AM” or “PM” visible since these are redundant; there’s no such thing as 14:40 PM.

    Thanks!

  23. cj Says:

    Hi guys, I LOVE the Playlist Alarm Clock app– it’s something I have wanted for years, especially the fade-in aspect of the alarm. There’s only one problem that I can’t seem to figure out: the wake-up alarm is unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, even with all the same settings. Is there a trick that I haven’t figured out?

  24. sean Says:

    Hiya,
    Just bought the desk clock but thought it came with a landscape version. Any plans to add that? thanks.

  25. chillix Says:

    Hi Sean

    We’re going to try and give all our apps landscape and portrait versions eventually – in the meantime you could try NightTime Plus which has a nice landscape mode…

  26. Mary Cole Says:

    I just bought PlaySafe, and I’m wondering why the gestures for going to the next and previous songs are opposite from what seems intuitive? (Is the developer a leftie? :) I think this will bother me.

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Mary

      Thanks for the feedback. We weren’t sure which direction we should go with for the swiping but decided in the end to use the same swipes you’d use in the iPod coverflow view ie. you imagine all your albums lined up from left to right and you swipe from the right to the left to get to the next one.

      Anyway, that’s why! If it’s an issue with people we’ll have to add an option to switch.

      What does everybody else think?

  27. David Lewis Says:

    I am using DONE. It would be great if you could reorder items in the lists in the same that you can reorder the master list.

  28. Joel Says:

    Been using PlaySafe, and it’s pretty cool, but I wish it would simply control iTunes, instead of requiring me to select songs in the app. I wish there was an option to do just that. I would find it much easier to go to iTunes, choose a playlist and start playing, then fire up PlaySafe to control it after that. How update an update? :)

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Joel

      I see what you mean and it’s a nice idea. I’m not sure it’s feasible with the way that PlaySafe is coded at the moment as it would require iTunes to be able to write info to PlaySafe’s playlist, but we’ll certainly look into it.

  29. Dale Says:

    Hi, have a few of your apps and just bought playsafe, looks cool, except it will not see my podcasts. After opening the music is all there but says no podcasts loaded, even though there is lots on there and they can all be accessed through the normal player.

      Hi Dale

      PlaySafe used to work with podcasts – then Apple must have changed something under the hood in OS 3.1 because they stopped working. We’re currently looking into it to see if we can fix it or if we have to wait them to release 3.2…

      We’ll keep you posted on the blog.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a question? how do you know on your battery level app when the charging is done. Just wondering so i can buy this app.

    Thanks!

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Ty

      Just look at it! Seriously though, there is no special indicator or anything, but you can watch the level of the ‘Juice’ rise as the battery charges and when it fills up, you’re good to go. The numeric overlay helps you see exactly what the charge is and flipping the phone into landscape mode gives you a more detailed read out.

      Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Hi, I’ve just bought deskclock and i must say that it’s really nice.

    One suggestion, when viewing the year, could you think about adding the next year also please. Even better would be to slide your finger to previous/next years.

    Thanks for the great app

    Melvyn

    • chillix Says:

      Thanks Melvyn

      We’re thinking about adding that feature in the next update (which we’ll need to do soon anyway, since 2009 will be over before you know it)

    Its your birhday… 16 apps… 15 are free but “Playlist Alarm Clock” is NOT free… its $0.99

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Hm

      for some reason we can’t make P.A.C free! The idea was that everything was going to be free but when we went in to the back end of the App Store to change the prices, P.A.C did not have a free option. We’ve contacted Apple Tech Support about it but with no luck so far (no surprise really as they normally take days to get back to you if at all). All we can say ids that we’ll keep trying to make it free over the course of the weekend and if we can’t we’ll do it again at some point in the future.

      Sorry.

  33. Todd Says:

    I’ve checked out a few of your apps, and I like what I see, save one thing. It would be nice if you could hide the leading zero for hours in time displays. It should be there for 24-hour time, but it’s not really appropriate when using 12-hour time.

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Todd

      Thanks for the feedback. I know what you mean – we’ll look into providing this as an option but we pull our times in from Apple’s built in clock which displays times differently based on your region format settings which has caused us a few problems in the past when we’ve tried to display it differently…

    It was very good , very thank you so much for what you have done .

  35. Zach Says:

    same thing here with the P.A.C. it’s the one app I’m interested in and I can’t even get it for free… oh well

  36. bobbyd Says:

    Just purchased nighttime plus 1.1 and for the most part I love it. But I cannot get the alarm to turn off by yelling at it (and my mute is not on). What’s up with that?

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Bobby

      there seems to be an issue between the latest version of NightTime and the iPhone OS – we’re looking into it and will release an update as soon as we can.

  37. K Says:

    Hi,

    Thanks for the opportunity to download your applications. I downloaded “About Time” because it looked very nice, but for some reason the words don’t get displayed — all I get is a white screen or a black screen. However, the quotes get displayed when I ‘flip’ the screen. Any ideas why? I’m still on the old iPod touch OS — would that be the problem?

    Thanks. :D

  38. Eduardo Says:

    Thanks for the gift in your Birthday. Great softwares, thanks for sharing. Keep it up with the great work

  39. Philip Says:

    Thanks for the gifts! WOW! Looking forward to having the alram clock for free too. I do have one question about “About Time” which is why does it show a blank black screen instead of the time? THanks again for the presents. p

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Philip

      sorry you’re having problems with AboutTime – we’d not seen this one before yesterday but now that so many people have downloaded AboutTime (about 10,000 this weekend) a couple of other people have contacted us with the same problem.

      Most of the issues we have with our clocks end up being something to do with region settings on people’s phones. Can you check out what your region settings and date and time settings are so we can try and reproduce them?

      Also, it’s worth changing a few of your settings and seeing if AboutTime works then ie. change your 24 hour display to 12 (or vice versa) and your region to United Kingdom – then let us know what happens?

  40. JBA Says:

    Happy birthday and thank you for the great looking apps.

  41. Roncalli Says:

    some great apps. thx and regards from austria

  42. Shawn Says:

    Awesome! And if the PAC is $.99, who cares the rest is free and makes up for paying for one. Love the PhotoFrame!!!!

    • chillix Says:

      Thanks Shawn – wish more people had you attitude to the P.A.C situation – we’ve had lots of complaints. It seems you just can’t please some people :(

  43. Johnny Says:

    THANK YOU for the promotion!

  44. dave Says:

    What is the P.A.C. situation? Why isn’t it free as well?

  45. Robin Capper Says:

    ‘Juice’ is great except for the annoying noise, any chance of a mute option?

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Robin

      It’s amazing how one man’s ‘awesome sound effect’ can be another’s ‘annoying noise’ :)

      We’ll try and squeeze a sounds on/off option into the next version for you…

  46. Lawrence Says:

    O purchased juiced, however, when I rotate my iTouch to display the additional info contained in the landscape mode the is no info apart from the icon to say the percentage left and that it is unplugged. A any thoughts?

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Lawrence

      we’ve got to the bottom of the problem – the brand new iPod touches identify themselves slightly differently and this isn’t being recognised by Juiced. We’ll get a fix out asap.

  47. Neil Says:

    I found your apps last night and I can’t stop buying them. I love About Time. In my busy working day schedule I need to know exact time but when I’m chilling out, About Time brings the balance back into my life. Well done – so cool. Thanks.

  48. Stanul Says:

    Hello,
    I appreciate a lot your applications Juiced and PlaySafe.
    I have a suggestion for PlaySafe.
    You know the feature of standard iPod player which enables the listener to go back 30 seconds at a time.
    Maybe you can implement same “skip” sydtem for both FFW and RWD and maybe with the option of choosing how much to jump FFW or RWD like 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min and so on.
    This would be great for podcasts.
    Thank you for great apps.

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Stanul

      Thanks for the feedback and suggestions – we’re definitely intending to add some sort of customisable gestures to PlaySafe – so watch this space.

  49. Zorki Says:

    Hi
    I got the playsafe app and i was wondering if the issu with adding more than 250 songs make a difference if you have a 8 16 or 32gig model, cause it’s hard to choose 250 songs when you have a 32gig model lol!.

    Thank you

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Zorki

      We’ve chosen 250 as a warning level but it really does seem to vary from device to device and how much free memory you’ve got (that’s free system memory rather than used storage space). The problem occurs when you next launch PlaySafe and it tries to load the saved playlist into memory. We’re working on it but finding it difficult to pin down I’m afraid.

      In the meantime feel free to experiment – the worst thing that can happen is PlaySafe won’t work anymore and you’ll have to delete it and re-install…

  50. Jeremy Eyre Says:

    Hey Chille X,
    I downloaded NightTime Plus during your birthday special and love it. Thank you! The only problem I’m having, is that it doesn’t appear to disable the auto-lock on my iPhone 3G. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Jeremy

      Not sure why this should be happening. I’d recommend restarting the phone and if that doesn’t work, try deleting and re-installing NightTime Plus to see if that helps.

      If you’re still getting the same problem after all that could you try downloading and running something else that is supposed to override the auto-lock (like the standard version of NightTime) and see if that works. That way we’ll know if the issue is with NT+ or something wacky going on with your phone.

  51. Massimo Says:

    Hi Chilli X !

    I’m a user of your DONE app, that i got for free during your first birthday (thank you!): I’m awaiting for next 2.0 version!

    I downloaded also JUICED, and I have a suggestion about it: why don’t you add an alert sound when the battery is full? This could be useful… I’ve seen something like that around…

    Moreover, have you ever thought about creating a “note” or “post-it” app, in order to take notes in a better way than the native one? There are several in the App store, but… you can do it better!

    Bye!

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Massimo

      Glad you’re enjoying Done. Thanks for the suggestion for Juiced – a good idea and one that we might very well add in the next build!

  52. Jeffrey Says:

    Hi, love your app. Can you add the ability to change song rating for PlaySafe in the future?

    Thanks.

    • chillix Says:

      Hi Jeffrey

      I wish we could. In fact we wanted to do a different app especially for rating songs but discovered that Apple don’t let developers change a song’s ratings (unless you know of another app that can do it)

      Sorry :(

  53. whiteapp Says:

    Some fantastic apps here.

    Hopefully meet you at the next App Jam, but do take a look here in the meantime:
