Herm Brings The Noise With a Twofer
Herm’s been a busy man lately. Tired of just releasing an app at a time he’s released two of them today. First up is Spin the Bottle. It’s a remake of the classic game…in your pocket:) Of course, with Herm you get a little more than expected. it features 6 different bottles and 5 backgrounds to choose from. Flick the bottle and watch it spin while you’re greeted with the Jeopardy music:) Use it for drinking, kissing, drinking, betting, drinking…hey, whatever floats your boat:)
Next up is AudioMeter which is a really well put together app to measure the noise levels in a surrounding environment. It tells you both the current levels as well as tracking the highest peak. you also get various modes including LED, analog and a bar graph (that can be a solid or line graph). I found out that I can make bodily noises above 100db with this:) I also learned that a subway in NYC is ridiculously loud no matter how you look at it. Oh and while I was at it I made a few drinking bets with friends…there were no losers:)
Both apps feature what you’d expect from Herm – smooth graphics and a complete project…not a beta, not a near final version. These apps are very well tested and run beautifully. He’s packaged them both together – it’s $1.29 to get a license for both apps. And both are written for all screen resolutions – VGA, WVGA, QWVGA and QVGA. They’re available directly from Herm’s site and for such a nominal price it’s a great deal.

Hey, to all you people who’ve never paid for software, here’s a good opportunity to see what it’s like. Herm is brilliantly creative and if you click the link to his site in the article you’ll see what kind of fun stuff he’s come up with. You’ll also see that his prices are not only reasonable but dirt cheap. If you’d like you can try a few of his free limited versions of some of his programs and then once you’re convinced that laying down $1.29, less than a load of laundry, on something like AudioMeter or DogWhistle, is worth satisfying the intrigue you may have. Then you’ll get a warm feeling for doing the right thing and score a few points with God to offset all those torrents you downloaded.
