All those nightmares and torments of missing and misplacing important business cards of my clients and other important people have come to an end and handling business cards has turned out to be a pleasure with an app called WorldCard Mobile. Let me explain the reasons.

This handy tool has some astounding features to make business card handling really simple. Just take a snapshot of the Business cards using the app’s special shake reduction camera and let it save the images automatically. By tapping the ‘Recognize’ button, users can make the app to recognize the information and classify the contacts into various groups according to it. If the card has any web address, users can move to that address just by tapping on it. It can recognize major languages such as French, English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian and Dutch.

I had tried a lot of apps for business card scanning before, but character recognition was the biggest problem with them. I have to type everything manually, after all the hard work. However, WorldCard Mobile does things smooth, smart and accurate. That is why this app excels in its category.

Using this cost-effective, brilliant app, business people like me can attend business meets with confident. WorldCard Mobile can really replace all your huge old wallets and will let you deal business cards in a much easier and smarter way.

Rating 5/5 Stars

Setting a new benchmark for console-style gaming on the iOS platform, Phosphor Games Studio, have finally released their very first game, Dark Meadow. Maximizing the graphic and gameplay horsepower of the Unreal Engine 3, Dark Meadow delivers a stunning first-person, action/adventure game where players fight to escape a nightmare fairytale world filled with fantastical creatures bent on destroying them.

With gesture-based controls familiar to anyone who has played games like Infinity Blade or even Angry Birds, The Dark Meadow is an accessible core gaming experience for everyone that reveals new layers and new secrets every time you play it,” said Chip Sineni creative director of Phosphor Games Studios.  “While we are extremely excited with the final results, we are looking forward to delivering additional content in the coming months to expand the world of The Dark Meadow.”

The Dark Meadow is a visually charged, combat intensive world of exploration.  You awake in a hospital uncertain of how you arrived there or why.  An old man warns of a beautiful witch whose minions roam the halls seeking the living.  It is only when the witch is destroyed that you will be released from this unrelenting torment.
As you explore the photo-realistic world, you will need both your crossbow for ranged combat as well as your sword for in close, melee combat.  Gesture-based “pull back and fire” as well as slashing combat will be instantly recognizable to iOS players, and node-based movement through the world makes navigation simple and perfectly paced.

Role-playing game mechanics enhance the exploration, as a wide variety of items are secreted throughout the world – from hidden scraps of paper that reveal the mystery of your imprisonment, to money which can be used to purchase better equipment and weapons.

Dark Meadow is available now at the App Store for $5.99 and is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Italian.
