Remedy Entertainment Is Tipping Their Hat To Duke Nukem In The Sixth Update To Death Rally

BY Casey Tschida on Sat July 02nd, 2011 death rally remedy

Six major updates in three months makes it seem like Remedy Entertainment is holding strong to keep their fans smiling in the fight against app dullness. Whether you find that significant or not, you should be able to appreciate Remedy’s salute to Duke Nukem with a new vehicle, new gameplay mode, plus plenty of other stuff packed into Death Rally v1.6.

Mighty Foot monster truck

There’s nothing childish about the road warriors of previous Death Rally, but you can’t salute Duke without a true master of all things four-wheel drive. Therefore, Remedy introduced Mighty Foot, a monster truck with Duke Nukem written all over it. Well, not literally, but it does have a sweet orange paint job and a few large radioactive warning symbols. Collect all 25 Mighty Foot pieces to add it to for virtual garage.

Now that you have a nice new vehicle, it’s time to duke it out. The new Duke Match arena is an all out demolition derby for three straight minutes. Destroy more opponents than the Duke before the time runs out to win. All of the typical rules of Death Rally stand except that you respawn upon your destruction. Duke Match is available immediately upon updating the game — no need to unlock.

Improvements to Death Rally through v1.6 include:

• Radar indicator for boss cars – grey diamond
• New challenges are marked with blinking stars
• Destroyed cars produce more pickups
• More boss voices
• Changed car type for Tex Harris
• Menu arrow animation
• Optimized car part drawing
• IAP description text updated
• New explosive icon
• Bug fix: Missiles and Striker projectiles no longer make impossible turns
• Bug fix: Voice over timing fixes
• Bug fix: Better collisions in Prologue
• Bug fix: Some UI element edges have corrupted pixels in iPad2
• Bug fix: Menu swipe position reseted after “Restart career”
• Bug fix: Added weapon change animation after weapon challenges
• Bug fix: Gatling Gun and Striker ammo indicators no longer have a visual glitch

Death Rally is a universal app compatible with iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 32GB and 64GB third generation iPod touch, fourth generation iPod touch and newer running iOS 3.2 or later, and available in the App Store for $.99.

A Chance To Win A MiStrengthCoach Promo Code With A Retweet Or Comment

BY Casey Tschida on Sat July 02nd, 2011 davis creations Healthcare & Fitness iphone app giveaway mistrengthcoach

AppAdvice has teamed up with Davis Creations in order to offer you a chance to win one of five (5) promo codes for miStrengthCoach for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch ($5.99).

Are you looking to get back in shape, plus build some muscle? Considering your iPhone or iPod touch does so much for you already, it won’t mind also being your personal strength trainer and exercise coach, right? With the help of the miStrengthCoach app, you can start, persist, and finish a new workout schedule that can leave you with a chiseled six-pack or even just a well toned up healthy feel and look.

The app is designed to work great for nearly everyone, from those who haven’t seen the inside of a gym or fitness center for years to those regulars who want a way to keep things on schedule. MiStrengthCoach has you choose the proper category based on experience and abilities, then pick how long and often you’d like to workout to finally create a custom exercise plan.

Each workout and exercise is presented in a step-by-step manner with a brief audio and visual explanation on how to perform the exercise, along with an occasional short video demonstration. Appropriately, the main portion of the screen is dedicated to demonstrating the exercise, however, there are also indicators for the number of reps to perform, how many sets you’ll need to complete, and which set you’re currently performing. In addition, there is also an optional timer for those exercises that aren’t calculated by reps.

Perhaps, you’re not currently interested in starting a scheduled fitness routine. If that’s the case, you can still get assistance on a per workout basis using the Workout and Exercise sections. These areas are a manual choice hierarchical breakdown of the 30 built-in workouts and 200 exercises. Pick the one you want and get the same step-by-step walkthrough as the scheduled workout routine. Back and front exercises are viewable with a swipe left or right on the root level of the Exercises section.

Last but certainly not least, be sure to check out the Goals and Tips section for recommendations and instructions regarding pre-exercise stretching, warm up, cool down, how to check your heart rate, how to select the appropriate amount of weight, and more.

Tip - Selecting the right weight

How To Upgrade Your iPhone From iOS 4 To iOS 5

BY David Kanter on Sat July 02nd, 2011 how-tos ios 5 iOS 5 beta 2 iOS 5 Web resource

This article will cover how to upgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 5 using an iPhone or an iPod touch on your Mac. At the time of this publication the latest version of iOS is 5 beta 2. It is recommend that you do not use your primary iPhone for this procedure, as it is a beta and meant for developers to test. That being said, I did this on my primary phone, and played with the beta for a few weeks, but there were too many critical apps for my workflow such as Evernote, Dropbox, and, well, the Phone app that didn’t work for me. I went back to iOS 4 after two weeks.

I will outline the steps needed to upgrade to iOS 5 as a registered Apple developer, although Bryan M. Wolfe covered a voiceover activation hack from Gizmodo that apparently lets you get past the activation screen without registering as a developer on the first iOS 5 beta (I haven’t tried this). My follow up article will cover how to downgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 4 despite warnings from Apple that it isn’t possible. Bryan also covers an interesting story on that topic in Apple To Take New Measures Against Firmware Downgraders. Okay, enough of the warnings, if you want to live on the wild side, here are the steps for upgrading from iOS 4 to iOS 5:

1. Backup your existing iPhone by plugging it into iTunes via the USB cable and control-click your iDevice, then choose “Back Up” from the menu that pops out.

2. Login to the Apple Developer Portal, go to the iOS Dev Center and click the iOS SDK beta filter. Go to Downloads, download  iTunes 10.5 beta 2 as well as  the correct iOS 5 beta for your iPhone. There are several depending on your model iPhone/iPod touch, see screenshot below for the right one.

3. Make sure your Device ID is added to the Provisioning Portal.

4. Install iTunes 10.5 beta 2 on your Mac.

5. Open the image of the iPhone 5 .ipsw file and drag it to your desktop. With your USB cable plugged in, highlight your iDevice in iTunes, and option-click the Restore button. When the dialog box pops up, choose the .ipsw file you put on your desktop and select it from the File dialog box.

6. The install will begin and after a few minutes, you should be able to use iOS 5. After you’ve had your fun with iOS 5 and want to return to iOS 4, check back here on AppAdvice for next week’s update: “How to Downgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 4.”
