Top 10 Apple Apps Making Millions photo

Wondering which Apple apps are popular? No need to speculate anymore. Here is the list of 10 apple apps making millions.

 

1. Angry Birds Space ($0.99 for iPod & iPhone; $2.99 for iPad):



Angry Birds Space developer Rovio claimed a total of 10 million downloads in three days in March of 2012. The company announced this on its Twitter feeds soon afterwards.

No other game spread as fast as Angry Birds. Available on almost all platforms, Angry Birds Space beat every records, keeping at the front end of best-selling applications as managed to bring freshness to the game? I invite you to review.

Compatibility: iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone

 

2. Draw Something ($0.99):



This application was developed by Omgpop. It won a Flurry App Spotlight Award in 2012. Massive performance improvements were made to this app recently. It now includes a new opening video and excludes balloons.

In the first weeks after launch, the game was downloaded 20 million times. Within 50 days it was downloaded a total of 50 million times. Zynga bought the game and Omgpop for $180 million. It would not be surprising if this app made 6 figures in the first year.

Come show your creative side with this app. 2 users can draw a picture for everyone else to guess.

Compatibility: iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone; iOS4+

 

3. Hypstamatic ($1.99):



This is a digital photography application for the iPhone. It assists the iPhone camera in shooting square photographs. It also applies a number of software filters which make the photographs look as though they were taken with an antique camera.

The application is popular, selling 1.4 million times (November 2010). It also received recognition by New York times when Damon Winter used it for a story on the Afghanistan War. In 2011, it made $10 million in revenue from those that downloaded it and its services.

Compatibility: iPhone

 

4. iShoot ($2.99):



This app was named by Apple as one of the Top 10 paid apps of all time. It is an artillery combat game where tanks blast each other with a wide range of weapons from shells and cluster bombs to world-destroying shiva bombs. The developer, Ethan Nicholas, has stricken gold, and in fact had to quit his job to take on the role of app developer. He made $35,000 in one single day of sales that is after the Apple took its cut. Can you imagine how much he makes per year?

Compatibility: iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch

 

5. iFart ($0.99)



The app cuts out the most interesting farts for its listeners and provides the famous security fart feature which I totally recommend for those who wish to get the app. The maker of iFart Mobile, Joel Cunmm, has also created a framework which works inside of Apple`s SDK and allows them to release digital scents via the iPhone speakers. This is not all, in September of 2011, the company announced the Social Fart Icon. This allows users to share wonders with friends, family and other contacts. Using Facebook, email, Twitter, SMS and other social media platforms, people can now click on a link to hear the sounds. The app makes $10,000 a day according to Gizmag.com

Compatibility: Any device and all operating systems.

 



 

6. Trism ($4.99)



This puzzle game has proven to be profitable for its developers. Steven Demeter claimed to have made $250,000 in profits within the first 2 months of sales in 2008. This is on top of the $5000 that is spent on developmental costs and on top of Apple`s 30% revenue take. Can you imagine how much he is making now?

Compatibility: iPad, iPhone

 

7. Camera + ($1.99)



The standard camera in Apple products is a typical digital point-and-shoot. The Camera+ app, on the other hand, is like a high-quality SLR lens, transforming the original camera into a full studio. One of the best features of the app is the burst mode for action shots, an image stabilizer and a timer for self-portraits. It is well worth the money to download.

To date, Camera+ has earned its company, TapTapTap, $5.1 million in revenue. This revenue has been calculated since its release in June 2010. This is impressive and is expected to dominate the market in the near future. This inference is made upon the 6 million sales the app made since the release of the app.

Compatibility: iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone

 

8. iMockups



This app for iPads affords web designers and web developers with the ability to quickly draft wireframes for their websites and apps. It has an excellent interface with an intuitive practicality. The touch screen device is taken advantage of to the fullest capacity.

Endloop Mobile built the application with hopes of releasing it when iPads hit the market. As of September 2011, the application has made $300,000 in revenue. It also reached a total of million downloads. With the release of this app and Angry Birds, the company won awards for Top Paid Game and Top Paid App, both at no.1.

Compatibility: iPad

 

9. Car Locator ($0.99)



This is one of the most useful apps ever. It helps you track your car wherever you last left it. Losing your car is not an option with this app.

This is a big time-saver, allowing you to use the camera and compass to produce an AR overlay and to map out the exact location of your car. Users can even include notes when delineating the location; making this even more idiot-proof.

The app is popular on both Apple and Androids. On Androids it makes approximately $13,000 a month.

Compatibility: iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch. Requires iOS 5.0 or later

 

10. Infinity Blades ($6.99)



Epic Games announced in January of 2012 that the Infinity Blade franchise earned over $30 million since the launch in December 2010. Infinity Blade 2 is now available for $6.99 on the iOS App Store. It has generated over $5 million for the developer.

Compatibility: iOS Platforms

Top 10 False Beliefs About Medication And Drugs

Posted: 16 Aug 2012 09:05 PM PDT

Top 10 False Beliefs About Medication And Drugs photo

Over the years, numerous myths and false notions concerning drugs – both prescribed and non-prescribed – have become more and more imbedded in people’s minds. Whether as a result of the advertisement campaigns in the social media or their integration within popular culture, most of us take drug issues too lightly and we are not always familiar with the risks and the negative side effects involved. However, knowing exactly what dangers you are exposed to is the best way to prevent accidents with harmful and sometimes even deadly consequences. Here is a quick debunking of the top 10 myths surrounding medication and drugs.

 

1. Becoming addicted to a certain drug is deliberate

It is true that in the initial stages of the drug use, the person will utilize it voluntarily because he enjoys the effects. However, constant usage of a certain substance will, over the course of time, modify the chemical composition of the brain significantly. Therefore, the compulsive necessity of taking that drug in order to maintain the balance of the brain and organism chemistry appears. In other words, you cannot help becoming addicted to a drug and it is bound to happen sooner or later.

 

2. Legal drugs are 100% safe, illegal drugs are the risky ones

Just because your physician has prescribed you a drug treatment that does not make it 100% percent safe when you exceed the recommended dosage or fail to respect the specifications of the substance. To put it simply, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mild sleeping pill or cocaine, virtually all drugs can be abused and the consequences can become highly unpleasant, even health threatening.

 

3. Smoking marijuana has no negative effects

Marijuana supporters have always emphasized on the curative properties and hazard-free nature of this substance. The opinions of the medical community concerning marijuana are mixed, but new test results stating that there is a strong chance smoking pot could determine the development of carcinoma have been recently made public. This hypothesis is supported by the presence of several carcinogens and co-carcinogens similar to tobacco in the smoke. Combine that with immune system dysfunctions, poor limb coordination and memory-loss issues and the theory of the harmless drug becomes unsustainable.

 

4. You can safely mix different drugs and substances

Unless you have a degree in chemistry and you are familiar with all the components of the drugs as well as their concentration, it is highly recommended to abstain from this practice. Not only would you risk exceeding the maximum dosage of a certain substance by combining drugs with similar compositions, but there are also negative interactions between them to consider. On a side note, the same applies for combining drugs – both prescription and illegal ones – with alcohol.

 

5. Once you are addicted, recovery is impossible

The difficulty of the addict’s road to recovery cannot be denied or understated, that’s a given. However, in most unsuccessful attempts, the problem comes from the DIY approach or the wrong recovery program, as well as the low willpower. On the bright side, there are numerous specialized clinics that have experienced notable successes with numerous patients, so don’t give up hope.

 



 

6. Drugs have no negative effect on pregnancy

In fact, taking drugs during the pregnancy period is highly discouraged especially because the substances that your body metabolizes will partially break through the placenta shield and reach the fetus. Because his organism is not yet fully developed, there is no way of predicting the negative effects of the drugs. In addition to that, the same applies to the utilization of drugs during the breastfeeding period.

 

7. The drug abuser demographic consists entirely of men of middle age

Nobody is actually certain what the origin of this misconception was, but it most probably emerged from the television shows that used middle age men and teens to concoct drug abuse stories. Nevertheless, if you can take a quick look at the statistics, you will notice that this demographic is not any higher among drug abusers compared to the rest. In other words, age and sex are not indicators for the propensity of an individual towards drugs.

 

8. Drug addiction is not a serious problem

Becoming addicted to a substance has a plethora of negative consequences on virtually all aspects of a person’s life, from social relations and interactions to severe health complications. The damage of an addiction intensifies in direct proportion to its duration and, in the most severe cases, it can actually lead to death. Therefore, while certain factions make a habit of minimizing the negative implications of drug abuse/addiction and present a romanticized version of the story, keep in mind that the addict is sure to lose control over his free will and to become dependent on a harmful substance.

 

9. Following detoxification, the brain pathways recover completely

Completely false, especially for people who are addicted to the particularly potent and hazardous substances contained by illegal drugs. The only thing that will fade and eventually disappear after a prolonged period of soberness is the physical withdrawal symptomatology. The pain may subside, but there is also permanent damage done to the cortex that will persist throughout your entire life. In addition to that, there are other negative effects on the overall health of your organism (heart and circulatory system problems, lung issues, stomach conditions, etc.).

 

10. Drugs do not have the same effect on your driving ability as alcohol

While everybody agrees that driving and alcohol don't mix because this substance impairs the reflexes and coordination, some state that mild hallucinogenic drugs or perception enhancers are beneficial. This is not a statement that the medical community agrees with because every drug, no matter how mild, determines a loss of driving performance. The distorted vision, the diminished attention span and the excessively relaxed muscles will make the driver unable to avoid a potentially dangerous situation in time. This does not only refer strictly to illegal drugs because, if you read the recommendations on certain prescription medication, you will notice that the usage of some OTC products is not advisable prior to driving or operating heavy machinery.
