Things is a beautifully focused and amazingly intuitive task manager. Other todo applications either oversimplify or are too difficult to use. Things instead offers the perfect balance between ease of use and powerful features.

Effortlessly manage to-dos, notes, due dates, and projects. A smart today list and the scheduling feature allow you to work as effectively as possible – every day.

You can even sync wirelessly with the desktop version of Things (sold separately) using Wi-Fi.

Join the thousands of iPhone and iPod touch users who have made Things the most popular paid to-do manager in the App Store.

Visit our web site for a screencast to find out exactly how Things works.

“If Things sounds simple, that's because it is. Other to-do list managers I've tried have, quite honestly, gotten in the way of me getting things done. Things doesn't do that. And I wouldn't have it any other way.” — Macworld.com, ★★★★

Mac|Life Editor's Choice Award, ★★★★★

"Our Favorite Apps…Entirely amazing." — Apple, App Store Turns 1

"You feel as if you are playing inside of a beautifully animated movie." USA TODAY – 4 stars out of 4

"Nighty Night!" is brought to you from Oscar-Nominee (2002, best animated short) Heidi Wittlinger who put a lot of passion and effort in constructing little sets made of paper and combining them with 2D illustration and animation.

All around the house the lights go out, and even the animals in the barn are tired. But who puts them to bed? Who turns out the lights in their stalls? That is the task for small children aged 1-4 years.

The bedtime book "Nighty Night!" for iPhone helps children get to know animals interactively while preparing to go to bed. Dog, Pig, Sheep, Duck, Cow, Fish and Chickens moo and bubble, hop and lay eggs, until a kid turns the light out and the animals go to sleep. "Nighty Night!" is the perfect app for a daily go-to-sleep ritual with sweet music and actor Alistair Findlay as a narrator.

Features:
- 2D illustration and animation
- 7 interactive animals (Dog, Pig, Sheep, Duck, Cow, Fish, Chickens)
- Accompanied with melodic lullaby music
- Actor Alistair Findlay as a story narrator
- Autoplay function

***You can find Nighty Night! in Pimp Your Screen***

Costumer review (iPad):

"This book finally proves to me that a kids book can be as great electronically as they are on paper. The artwork is stunning, the narration is pitch perfect well suited to its theme. (…) Buy this book, it´s truly art"

***If you experience any trouble with the app or have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us any time: support@shape-minds.com

We recommend to run the app on the latest iOS 4.3.3.
