If you have children aged 4-11 you probably know Ben 10 from Cartoon Network. If not here’s some background on him:
Ben Tennyson was an ordinary 10 year old boy until the day he found a strange looking watch. When he took it on, he discovered that it was actually an Omnitrix – a powerful alien invention was able to mix his DNA, turning him into 10 different aliens in 10 minutes at a time. With help from the Omnitrix, and his friends and family, the reluctant superhero Ben 10 spent his new powers to protect Earth against the constant attacks from aliens.
Via the Ben 10 Alien Locator app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, fans of the popular television show will immerse themselves in an ethereal world and help their hero figh against evil.
In this new App adventure the Omnitrix has lost its database of alien DNA. Without the ability to transform Ben into 10 different aliens, Earth is in great danger of invasion. In this app game you must help Ben 10 fill up DNA stocks and catch the aliens. You can send your results to the Apple Game Centers and Facebook to compare with your friends and other players.
This app is aimed primarily at boys aged 4-9, but other playful souls will probably find it entertaining as well.
The Ben 10 Alien Locator App can be downloaded to iPhone, iPod or iPad. A light version will be available for free, and the full game can be downloaded via iTunes for just € 2.39.
Today, I heard about a new site Wootish, which allows users to discover apps for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Mac in a way resembling the well-known principle behind StumbleUpon.
I have been told, that the site is built to overcome one major issue with the present app discovery tools – they are heavily reliant on either the popularity of apps or upon your past download history. Consequently, users may miss out on some absolute gem of apps that do not get enough traction (and hence less downloads which results in them being ignored by the other tools).
As mentioned earlier Wootish is something like a StumbleUpon fort he AppStore. Users just need to specify the categories they are interested in, and the service will display random new apps that satisfy the criteria. You can also pick between Free/Paid apps. The owners of Wootish are hopeful that not only will this service be a way for users to find lesser known apps on the AppStore, but will also provide a way for small time app developers to get noticed by users.
I hope the developers of Wootish will add a language filter option ASAP. Some of my initial searches came up with apps in Russian, which is not a language I master in any way.
