Winner of Mac World's 2009 App Awards (Education), Pocket Universe is the ideal astronomy app for those keen to learn about the night sky. The unique display is generated dynamically depending on your location and time, and then rendered in 3D for a super fast response - flick the sky and it spins around you. Pocket Universe is a brilliantly simply star map that's always up-to-date and accurate. If you want your kids to learn the constellations, or to impress a date with the names of the stars, this is the only app you need.
"The app works beautifully, making astronomy a bit less mysterious—but no less remarkable", MacWorld
"It’s truly an impressive marvel. 5 Mice out of 5", MacWorld.
"..one of the prettiest and easiest to use. And at three bucks, it’s a steal", Cult of Mac.
Augmented Reality
Pocket Universe was the first iPhone astronomy app to support the built-in compass, and it was also the first to add a true augmented reality view using the iPhone's built-in camera! Use the camera view in the evening or morning sky to overlay the labelled view over the real sky (Note: the iPhone camera is not sensitive enough to show stars or planets).
Simply hold up your iPhone 3GS in front of you, and the view will be exactly what you see - but with names and information at your fingertips. Move the iPhone around to see the view change in real-time. As previous iPhone models and on the iPod Touch do not have a compass, the up/down movement is automatic, but you will need to drag the display left/right yourself.
• Apple App Store Staff Favorite • Voted Best Educational iPhone Application by AppAdvice
Key Features
• Easy-to-use astronomy application, which focuses on helping you answer the question "What's that in the sky?" • Works on all iPhones and iPod Touch devices with latest firmware (iPhone 3GS required for compass support) • Special "Show Me" mode will guide you to named stars, planets, constellations as well as the brightest galaxies and nebulae. • "Tonight's Sky" and "Objects and Events" will keep you up-to-date, and give you suggestions for what to look for when you head outside. • Constellation Quiz to help you learn your way around the sky. • Links to Wikipedia articles for the latest information. • Responsive customer support and frequent updates and new features.

Hi Parents! This app is dedicated to all the children who love to draw on their parents iPhone but would appreciate a simpler app.
The other day we were watching our young niece play with her Daddy's iPhone. She LOVES to draw on with it. But we noticed that the controls for the drawing app she was using were way too complicated. She often got stuck in a settings window and didn't know how to get out. She would have to ask her Daddy for help. Also, when she drew a cool drawing, she didn't know how to save it. She again had to ask her Daddy for help. So we thought "Wouldn't it be great if we made an app that had super-simple controls for kids? And what if we made it were it was impossible for the kid to go into a screen where they couldn't get out (barring that they didn't hit the home button)?" Thus, the inspiration for Kid Art was born, and the rest is history.
We're proud to present the premier drawing app for kids on the iPhone. 1. Super simple controls that are friendly to kids. 2. Bright and lively colors. 3. Ability to toggle between background colors and images for cooler drawings. 4. Easily save your drawing by touching the giraffe (saves to Photo Library). 5. Erase drawing simply by shaking the phone.
from, the developers of Kid Art

Inside a little bouncing barn, friendly farm animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the doors to find out!
Work with your child to learn the names of animals--in English or Spanish--and hear the sounds they make! Younger children will love opening the barn doors to find a new animal animation, as they learn about cause and effect and become familiar with animal names and sounds. Older children will enjoy guessing animals by sound, then seeing the animal names, which helps develop early literacy skills. And everyone will adore the illustrations by Divya Srinivasan, whose work is regularly featured in the New Yorker.
FEATURED BY APPLE Peekaboo Barn has been downloaded more than 200,000 times. It has been a top 10 educational game on the iTunes store nearly every day since its launch, and has been featured by Apple multiple times, and recommended by the New York Times, USA Today, and Wired.
Peekaboo Barn was made for you and your toddler by artists and educators, not marketers, robots, or companies repackaging clip art. Our team has backgrounds in cognitive science and child development, and we’ve worked in educational media everywhere from Yahoo! to the Smithsonian Institution. When you could really use a safe distraction--in airports, restaurants, and waiting rooms--or you'd like to try something new with your little genius, Peekaboo Barn is the educational, artful solution. Enjoy!
Just released: If you like Peekaboo Barn check out our second app in the Peekaboo series: Peekaboo Wild. All new animals in the African grasslands!
NO SOUND? If your sound isn't working, make sure you have the sound switch turned on (on the side of your iPhone), and check Settings in the app--your toddler may have turned off the animal sounds!
NEED HELP? Have questions or concerns? Please email us at support@nightanddaystudios.com and we’ll get right on it! Peekaboo Barn uses the latest in animation technology from Apple. Make sure you’ve updated your iPhone or iPod Touch to the latest version before you install.

Letters, phonics and handwriting for preschoolers. It's like having preschool in the palm of your hand!
**** ABC Animals 2.0 Released **** Learn ABC's, Phonics and Writing in **** English, French, German and Spanish
Do you have a child learning to recognize, say or write their ABC's? There's an app for that! Find out why Apple is featuring ABC Animals on the iPod Touch and iPhone devices in their stores.
Apple at Macworld 2009 said: "Elegant in its simplicity."
AppCraver.com said: "ABC Animals provides a unique interactive teaching tool that makes learning letters fun." 9/10
O'Reilly Media, Inc: "Best App for Learning ABC's"
Geekdad.com said: "I love the fact the letters are sitting on 'lined paper' graphics and the clear directives on how to write letters had me imagining school classrooms full of children with iPhones..."
An Apple "Staff Favorite," ABC Animals provides a wonderful set of interactive flashcards that aid in teaching young children to recognize, say and print English alphabet letters. Intuitively scroll between cards with the flick of a finger. Fun and engaging animal illustrations help to keep learning ABC's fun! Audio accompanies each card providing a letter name, associated animal name and the phonetics for each letter. Double tap any card to flip it over and practice tracing both uppercase and lowercase letters right on the screen of your iPhone. Shake to erase. Preferences allow a parent to choose the handwriting method best suited for their child, enable or disable any or all sound effects, randomize card order or prevent cards from flipping over if practicing writing skills or phonics isn't age appropriate. ABC Animals now enables bilingual families to practice their ABC's in English, French, German or Spanish.
School supply stores regularly charge ridiculous sums of money for a set for ABC flashcards. Why spend that sort of money for a set of non-interactive flashcards? ABC Animals provides 68 professional illustrations, 2 handwriting methods per letter and audio -- all for less than the cost of a gallon of gas! Teach your preschooler letters, phonics and basic printing on the go with ABC Animals. It's like having a preschool in the palm of your hand!
Please note that the first generation iPod Touch does not have built in speakers! To hear the audio for ABC Animal's on the iPod Touch, users will need to plug headphones into the headphone jack.
