Review from iPad Insight

It isn’t often that you meet someone online that REALLY “gets it” so we wanted to introduce our new blogging friend to you.

We met Dawn aka @The_Moiderer on Twitter.

She writes for iPadInsight.com, a great place to discover new apps.

Since Dawn has little ones we sent her some codes and she had this to say.
It was definitely interesting to get her British perspective on our apps!

We suggest you take a minute and check out their site. They have lots of tips and tricks for iPad users.

If you are a blogger and are interested in receiving a promo code for one of our apps give us a shout at 965studios(at)gmail(dot)com

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Check out This REVIEW!

Time sure has flown by! This week we are celebrating our 1 year anniversary! We have launched over 50 apps since Alphabet Machine and we have a lot of really great products lined up for you.

I can’t let the cat *hint* out of the bag just yet, but I can tell you that it will be the “most adorable” app you have ever seen!

One thing we have been talking openly about is how timeless Alphabet Machine is. @teachwtechbrox who writes for broxtermans blog recently reviewed the title.

You can check out that review and if you’re interested you can get the app here.

School Is Out, DumDumb Is In

Westerville, Ohio – As schools across the country have closed their doors for summer, students and parents who now find a little extra time on their hands can turn their attention to The DumDumb Exam. Played by over 55,000 dumdumbs so far, the app is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

“wow!!! I think this is way better than the moron test!!! :) ” – iTunes user Wackobirdy

While it’s a whole lot of fun, The DumDumb Exam is also sneakily educational. Players will be challenged on their spelling skills, nursery rhymes, flags of the world, idioms, sports knowledge, dog breeds, movie lines, historical facts, science terms, and much more.

“I love this game! I play it all the time and I finally got through the whole thing. Believe it or not I even learned a few things! Definitely a fun use of time.” – iTunes user Charbo1221

“I absolutely love this app very recommended. I play it when I get to class before it starts and it makes me feel smarter all day” – iTunes user Melia05

The free to try iPad version has been listed in the Trivia Games Top 10 for six months and has received more than 100 great reviews from fans across the world. Reviewers consistently asked for more levels to be added and so what started out as a 60 question test now includes 200 tricky challenges. Upcoming updates will extend the app to over 300 questions and will add in Game Center scores and special achievements.

“It’s getting cooler and cooler when I’m updating. I’d rate with more than 5 stars but that’s the highest it will go. I love this app!” – iTunes user stylincoolbear22

Try it free on your iPad!
Or try it free on your iPhone or iPod Touch!

“Awesome! This game was made to test your level of stupidosity. I give this game 5 stars and I totally recommend that you get this app.” – iTunes user Nerdy____LOLXD

“Wow this app is amazing 5 stars gets my brain sorted out and it’s so fun” – iTunes user megaaaaan!!!!

“Of all the games I’ve downloaded on my iPad, this is honestly the funnest one and I just keep coming back to it! I recommend it for everyone who likes not too hard but not too easy puzzles and wants something fun to do!!” – iTunes user So lit

“You think you got it figured out and then it gets you. You gotta keep playing to beat it.” – iTunes user dogdoc94

“This is a fun game to keep your memory skills up. Brain games are supposed to delay the onset of dementia. You remember the old saying ‘If you don’t use it you lose it’” – iTunes user Crazy growth

“Awesome!!! – I’m addicted and I want more lol” – iTunes user Mystic_fire91

iPhoneMom.com Review for ET

You guys should definitely check out this site if you are a parent with an iPhone! If you are into twitter you should follow Heather.

“The sound effects are fun and I was very surprised to see how much time I actually spent playing with this one. There was something strangely hypnotic about those beans that had me tapping on the screen for longer than I’d intended. Edamame Touch is an app that’s purely for killing time but it absolutely succeeds at that!”
