It does not seem too long ago when Boom Volume Booster App won the Macworld 2011 Best of Show Award when it was launched. But here we are already celebrating its first anniversary. Boom was conceived as a solution to the low volume issue every Mac user faces with their laptop or iPhone speaker. But after we launched it, we were amazed and happy to see how Boom also addressed life changing issues of several users, especially those who are hard of hearing. Gives us a warm fuzzy feeling when we receive such user stories from all of you. We thank you all for using Boom, sending us all your feedback and helping us make the app better every time. We have some really big plans for Boom for the year ahead. So if you have some feature or improvement you would like to see included, do drop us a mail or just post in the comments section below. Of course we are also available on Twitter and Facebook, so do come by and say Hello!

Now you must be curious about what we have in store for you on this occasion. As a special treat, Boom will be available for just $6.99 both on the App Store and our Global Delight Store for a limited period. You can choose your pick where you want to grab your copy from, and if you already have a copy of Boom, you can always gift it to your family or friends!

Have a Booming time!

Would you tick Video Editing as one of the most enjoyable activities? All of us have some experience in video editing in one form or the other and will agree that it is one pain you always pray you never have to deal with again. I have so many non-memorable times when I just wanted to edit a small video clip and ended up having to learn tons of rocket science stuff like transitions, overlay, etc. And I loathed auto-edits, because I found my videos lacked character and didn’t see my work in them and somehow didn’t feel like I totally owned them.

So what do you do when someone says they can make video editing as much fun as playing a game? You’d call them crazy!! But crazy or not, Global Delight has done just that, bringing the gaming feel into video editing! Enter Game your Video, a completely new genre in video editing that brings together the worlds of videos, music and gaming!

What does Game your Video do?
Do you remember the times when you would play on your console, hitting a button to duck or shoot and wished everything in life could be controlled that way? Now imagine replacing the console with your iPhone and the game with your video, where you can pick and choose from tons of cool visual effects, interesting flavors and awesome audio effects, and all this live! Game your Video gives you the power to add stunning motion effects, fun audio transformations and dazzling visual effects to make your videos fun and engaging! What’s more interesting is that you can even do this while recording the video!!

The app is so simple to use that you will only find excuses to keep using it again and again. With as little as a single tap, you can edit your videos with some of the most stunning outputs. Game your Video also lets you game your existing videos from your Camera Roll, so that you can give it some Video Editing love too!

Stunning Motion effects:

How often have you bored your friends by bragging about your victory shot at last night’s baseball game? With the slow motion effect you can show the awesomeness of your winning shot in slow motion and let your video do the talking! Or use the Echo effect and give your video a cool Matrix-like effect. You have tons of other cool effects like Fast motion, Jitter, Spin, RGB Split and more that will truly set your video apart from the rest.

Fun Audio transformations: 

How cool is it when you can transform your voice to sound like a demon in a scary video and scare the hell out of your friends? Or if comedy is your forte, then turn on the Chipmunk effect, and make the bully in your video sound like a Chipmunk (works on your boss too ). The Baby voice effect will definitely get loads of chuckles from everyone.

Video flavors:

Game your Video also has the best combination of audio, visual and motion effects in the form of flavors which you can quickly apply to your videos. So with just a tap you can go back in time with your Chaplin-style videos complete with jitter, black-and-white filter and a funny sound track, typical of the good old Chaplin movies. For a sitcom-style movie, hit the Audience effect for the complete package of background laugh and applause.

Visual effects:

With just a flick of your finger you can change the mood of your video. Moods ranging from Old BW, Spooky, Vintage, Nostalgia and more give your videos the right feel and will make you look like the next Steven Spielberg in the making!

I DID THIS!

After all this fun, share your work with like-minded videographers in our vibrant ‘I DID THIS!’ community. See what magic others have created with their videos and show off some of yours too. With Game your Video, even the sky is not the limit!

So where do you go to get all this awesomeness on your iPhone 4, 4S and iPod touch with camera? Rush to the App Store now and grab your copy of Game your Video at just $1.99! Don’t forget to share your masterpieces with us on Facebook and YouTube. And subscribe to the Game your Video Newsletter for tips, tricks and interesting stories.

Now you no longer edit videos, you game them!

The Keynote at the WWDC 2011 had most of us glued to our screens. With the rumor-mills at their best in predicting what would be awaiting us at the Keynote, nothing prepared us for the awesomeness of it all! The iOS 5 and Lion a.k.a OS X 7 indeed have some amazing features. Some of our favorites on the iOS include the Volume Shutter which enables you to capture your photos with your Volume button, the really cool basic editing features such as the Red Eye Removal, Exposure control, etc. in the default camera with Twitter sharing, iCloud and the Notification centre. And the iMessage. This is one killer feature!

The Lion too has something really good going on for the Mac. For starters it gives you an iOS-kind of a feel. The Launch Pad, Photo Booth, Mission Control are some really cool features too. I particularly liked the Face Detection feature of Photo Booth, and as Craig Federighi says, “You can spend hours with this.“

Looking at the beta now, I can’t wait to have the final stable version in my hands, ‘cos it looks so good. Meanwhile, our developers are already working on and ironing out the iOS 5 and Lion compatibility issues with Camera Plus Pro and Photo Delight, and Voila and Boom, respectively. So if any of you have already installed the betas of these, and find that your apps are not working as intended, then in the words of Malcolm Barclay, “There’s a reason it’s called ‘beta’ software“. But on a more serious note, we have already fixed most of the issues, which should be ready in time when iOS 5 and Lion are shipped. We also have something really cool coming up, so you might want to follow us on Twitter, Facebook or subscribe to our Newsletter to be the first ones to know.

We also have updates regarding a few of our older apps. Any developer, be it for an iPhone or Mac, would know the amount of effort that goes behind developing an app. Thus each app is almost like a baby to its developer, who has put in some much of time and effort to create it.

Charm, the math logic app; Wisen Up, the medical know-it-all app; and Word Digest, the dictionary app, too are no different in the value they hold for us. I still remember being a part of these apps since Day One, and the numerous fun interactions we have had, with contests and giveaways, and I was always overwhelmed with the enthusiastic responses from all of you. These apps were our first foray into the App Store and you can call them App Store veterans, since they were among the earliest apps on the App Store.

However, with the recent iOS updates, and most of our effort being spent on improving  Camera Plus, Camera Plus Pro, Photo Delight and Photo Delight Lite, and on the Mac platform for Voila and Boom, we feel that we will not be able to do enough justice to our older apps. We certainly don’t want to hold back any effort on improving and providing you with new and amazing apps. Hence this decision of retiring them.

Thank you all for trying out Charm, Wisen Up and WordDigest, giving us all your feedback, support and love on the App Store.
