At Shiny we develop a range of innovative applications for the Mac, iPhone and iPad. Ranging from educational apps to social networking, speech synthesis to games, we strive to produce innovative software and have some fun along the way.
Here are some examples of recent apps we've produced.
Launch your balloon in to the sky and see where it travels… Choose a balloon, add a message and photo, then release it into the sky! Where will it go? Who will it meet? How far will it travel?
View the messages and photos left by others who catch your balloon as it travels on it's journey.
“With over 100,000 apps in the app store, it's getting harder and harder to find something new; most apps seem to be 'me too' versions of something else. Balloons! for iPhone, is something I haven't seen before, and it's really very clever.”
