The Apple iOS-based products, especially iPhone are rapidly growing in popularity appealing to both enterprises and regular users. App Store features a bewildering amount of choice among hundreds of new apps available every day as app developers are hard at work producing more and more mobile solutions for all possible industries.

Such rankings as Best iPhone Development Companies are here to take the hard out of choosing the development company which will find a bespoke leading-edge mobile solution for your business to reach your target audience on the go.

Best Web Design Agencies have come up with certain criteria which focus on the most crucial aspects of iPhone applications development embodying the general services provided by iPhone developers and the expectations in the industry.

Firstly, they look into the development quality of the apps: whether they are able to meet quality standards based on other applications available for the platform or could it be considered subpar.

Then the vendor’s ability to have their applications accepted to the App Store is reviewed. Everything counts: the number of apps rejected, the reasons for rejection, etc.

The third evaluation criterion takes design elements into account. The design should be professional and visually appealing. The designed work is compared to that of other applications on the platform.

Another aspect evaluated by Best Web Design Agencies is customer support. It is essential how well the company is able to work with their customers and provide adequate support to fix common and uncommon issues with application development.

Last but not least, the Best Web Design Agencies research team reviews how well a company is able to provide bug testing before the launch of an application.

The Intellectsoft team is proud to have met all the criteria mentioned. We have always been passionate about quality and support developing our bespoke highly-efficient solutions for iPhone. It’s well-known that high achievements always take place in a framework of high expectations. Therefore we set our expectations higher and keep working surplus to requirements.

There is nothing worse than setting limits to your mind or missing a chance to learn something new. With the World Marks app developed by Intellectsoft you will have a marvellous chance to learn more about the British coins. Surely, the app is primarily targeted at numismatics although it will be of great use and interest for peeps not keen on coins collecting at all.

The app embodies loads of handy features and has an intuitive user-friendly interface. The World Marks app allows its user to identify silver hallmarks and select these from a tumbler, ultimately identifying the year, city, quality, maker and any duty thus allowing the user to determine the value of the item, supported by a news feed. All the details along with a picture of the identified items can be saved.

Using World Marks you can create your own comprehensive database of good-quality images and specs for every British Coin Series minted from inception to the present date. Moreover you can share your pictures as the app supports email allowing the user to send the image and hallmark details to friends/contacts.

The World Marks app is incredibly useful and complete in its content providing information that is surplus to requirements. The app is available for iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S. However, you won’t find it on App Store. World Marks was developed for the internal use by the customer company only. 

You can find more apps developed for iPhone in our portfolio (most of them are available on App Store). 

If you run (or to be more exact, drive) into trouble…

Surely, we hope you’ll never get in any kind of a road accident, it happens sometimes. The GEM will help greatly if you break down. The Assist Me feature will show your location on a map using GPS. Observe your location and touch the ‘Assist Me’ call button. This will dial directly to the Rescue Centre where you can tell the operator exactly where you are to ensure help will soon be on the way.

A dream journey is a journey without traffic congestion

Want to avoid traffic congestion on your way home/to work/elsewhere? Plan ahead to ensure that you get there on time. Simply select ‘traffic updates’ from the menu and you can view traffic alerts near your location or any location in the UK. Zoom out to see more alerts further away. Select any pin and read details of that incident.

Some more handy features

GEM also includes such useful features as My Renewals and Good Morning. With My Renewals you will never have to browse through those old documents again to find out when those important motoring essentials are due. All you need to do is enter your renewal details and this motoring diary will remind you three weeks before you are due to renew. Good Motoring is a perfect way to keep in touch with GEM as this feature will provide you with different articles, company news, info on the latest polls and competitions. Check out our portfolio for more information about GEM Motoring Assist.

Haven’t heard about GEM Motoring Assist Company?

Originally established in 1932 as the Company of Veteran Motorists to combat the increasing number of road accidents, GEM Motoring Assist is the UK’s leading driving based Road Safety association with around 70,000 members. All set a good example on the road by agreeing to drive with care, courtesy and concentration.

GEM Motoring Assist app is available on Android Market and App Store right now.

With the increase in the number of iPhones, iPod touches and iPads up to 315 million, the number of apps have risen too. Today’s expected unveiling of the iPad 3 is set to spark another app-buying frenzy. Billions more apps have been downloaded for rival systems such as Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7.

Right now there are more than 550 thousand free and paid-for apps on the store (though, while you’re reading this post the number might have increased again). Actually, Intellectsoft had a hand in the process with CatNav, Pocket Physio, CarDaddy and many other great apps.

Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said: "We’d like to thank our customers and developers for helping us achieve this historic milestone of 25 billion apps downloaded. When we launched the App Store less than four years ago, we never imagined that mobile apps would become the phenomenon they have, or that developers would create such an incredible selection of apps for iOS users.”

Indeed, the speed at which apps are being sold is stark given that the 10 billionth app was downloaded as recently as last January.

It seems like a serious reason to celebrate, doesn’t it? Well, being quite a unique company with an unmatched approach to everything they do Apple celebrates 25bln download launching a new App Store category. The “Catalogs” could be a tantalising glimpse of something bigger to be unveiled tonight at the launch of the next-generation iPad. The experts have already called this release a bit premature, because listing particular apps this category doesn’t feature in the store's front window. Besides, there’s no category home page for «Catalogs» at time of writing. The reclassification even surprised a UK dev house whose fashion store app has been recategorised to the new Catalogs section.

Maybe this new section is just a way to tidy up the Lifestyle shelf, which bowed under the great range of shopping apps of all kinds (TopShop, Tesco and Groupon mixed with the likes of Get a Girl, SpareRoom and iBaby Feed Timer). Also, the new Catalog category may be a new way to lure users to shop via iOS devices. Anyway, only Apple knows exactly what they are doing and they’re doing it well (most of the time).

The app is developed for the Persian Cat Press (PCP) — a well-known publisher from Greater Manchester, UK. They specialise in publishing iStories and are always on the lookout for the most amusing and fascinating updates from App Store. Their top-notch specialists download a lot of story apps at their official website.

PCP decided to share their well-written, honest and concise recommendations with iPhone and iPad users via the Cat-Nav app. What a marvellous idea!

Why Cat-Nav is a real must-have for iPhone and iPad users?

This app is a boon for the fans of Apple devices, as it will help you get the most of your iPhone or iPad. Being intuitive and easy-to-use Cat-Nav includes loads of handy features. The Cat-Nav app features extensive archive (with links to an even bigger archive on the PCP official website) and “Persian Cat Press favorites” section telling you all about the apps they most enjoyed over the past few months.

What’s more, the app boasts such advantages as weekly updates delivered via push-notification, quick links to an extensive searchable archive with loads of reviews of quality apps, weekly update of reviews archive , etc. Last but not least, Cat-Nav is ad-free and no in-app purchasing is necessary.

For further information about Cat-Nav check out our portfolio.

We are pleased to inform you, that the bespoke Pocket Physio application, having passed all the necessary Apple formalities, has finally been approved by Apple specialists and can be downloaded at the App Store now.

What is Pocket Physio?

The Pocket Physio app is an easy-to-use guide to the physiotherapy exercises involved in preparing for and recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery. This application features both video and text instructions on pre- and post-operative exercises, allowing patients to prepare thoroughly for surgery and make a full recovery supported by detailed video exercises. Besides, users may plan their exercise regime, visits to a doctor with the reminder function.

The Pocket Physio also features advice on walking with a frame or crutches, hip precautions, breathing exercises, managing pain and self-assessment, as well as recommended techniques for dressing, bathing and getting in and out of vehicles.

Each exercise is explained and the goals are clearly outlined, ensuring the patient is fully prepared and has an established exercise regime in place before surgery and is in a strong position to make a remarkable recovery afterwards.

Who are UKSH?

UKSH is one of our customers, also it is one of the largest providers of hip and knee replacement procedures in the South West of the UK, with brilliant clinical outcomes, low infection rates and short lengths of stay. UKSH has treated over 70,000 NHS patients and operates five treatment centres across the South West, providing patients with swift access to elective surgical procedures in Cirencester, Devizes, Emersons Green (Bristol), Plymouth and Shepton Mallet. Being the best in their sphere, UKSH couldn’t but choose top specialists in mobile development to make their services mobile and be able to help even more patients.

Further information on Pocket Physio and the application itself is available on our portfolio and AppStore.

We owe the progress in smartphone industry exactly to iPhone, as due to this Apple’s device smartphones around the world gave up stylus in favour of fingers, got huge touch-screen panels and mobile application development was taken to the whole new level with the App Store. By the way, Apple App Store is still the most prominent and profitable platform for mobile apps delivery.

For these five years Apple has launched five versions of its famous smartphone (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S), continuously extending its market share, which in the USA reaches 36% and in Europe – 20-30%.

By the way, being part of the iPhone Developer Program, we, at Intellectsoft, have immediate access to the most up-to-date development utilities and iPhone operating system software ahead of the release schedules. This results in a pleasant bonus for our clients: no more need to apply for membership when releasing content to the App Store; we'll take it upon ourselves to make sure the deployment is completed swiftly and the content is promptly released to countless iPhone users from around the world. However, we realise that some might desire to become members of the iPhone Developer Program themselves, in which case we'll gladly help in opening this account and submitting a thorough application.

Please, take a look at our iPhone portfolio to get a more in-depth review of our iPhone applications.

1. Mobile Application Developers

Mobile apps developers are obviously the hottest commodity in IT nowadays. The experts agree that this job will keep its first place during all the 2012, because there is a strong tendency among companies to adapt their Websites and apps for smartphones and tablets. By the way, these days we are one hair away from hitting an immense grandiose number of mobile apps existing. The search and analytics engine for the mobile marketplace Mobilewalla, submitted its own chart of mobile applications and at the moment this article was being written we had 3000 apps left before making it 1 million of apps. If you take your time and follow this chart checking it from time to time two days in a row, you might notice that the number grows drastically every couple of hours.
Another quite competent source providing objective insight on virtually any area of IT – Gartner – has made a few predictions of its own relating IT careers. Well, according to Gartner by 2015, mobile application development projects designed for smartphones and tablets will outnumber native PC projects by a ratio of 4-to-1. Today they are on par with each other. All in all, it’s obvious that the luckiest employees ever are mobile apps developers!

2. Software Developers

Mobile developers are followed by software developers who took the second place.
Second place is nothing to be upset about. After all, programmers are still in demand and that matters a lot. Companies need their share of Java, .NET, C#, SharePoint, and Web application developers.

3^rd, 4^th, etc. places

The third place goes to user experience designers, as the majority of apps whether for PCs or mobile devices are customer facing, these guys are simply indispensable.
IT Security Professionals are in the fourth place. The fifths place is taken by Data Warehouse Architects, Analysts and Developers. Infrastructure Professionals are ranked No 6.

P.S.: If you are a talented iPhone, android or blackberry developer, if you are looking for a great job in a dream team and like to play mafia and poker, don’t hesitate to contact us (hr@intellectsoft.co.uk)

— bugs affecting battery life are fixed

— multitasking Gestures for original iPad are added

— bugs with Documents in the Cloud are fixed

— voice recognition for Australian users using dictation is improved

We, at Intellectsoft , are always staying in tune with the latest technologies; therefore we already can work with the new iOS version.

However, things are not all so great with this new iOS 5.0.1. Hardly had Apple released the update, the users took to its support forums to complain that they were continuing to experience battery issues despite having downloaded the update and having reset their phones. The famous tech resource Mashable  conducted a poll, its results show that: 37% (3 772 votes) of respondents are still facing the same problems with the battery charge, 22% (2240 votes) claimed that the situation got worse, 14% (1424 votes) agreed that the problem was fixed and 26% (2 714) claim they have never had any battery issues (probably they have never had iOS-based devices either).

It’s peculiar that the recent complaints are similar at some extant to the ones made after upgrade to version 5. Apple claimed the problem was a software issue, and the iOS 5.0.1 update was issued to address it.

In their official statement to AllThingsD. Apple stated: “The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices. We continue to investigate a few remaining issues.”

There’s no doubt that Apple will keep improving its iOS and in time it will finally meet users’ expectations and will align with its sky-high price. The question is how soon will we be celebrating the event?

All in all, Intellectsoft wishes iOS users patience and reminds that from now on our brainy developers’ team can work with this iOS version (5.0.1).

For instance, John Eicher has introduced the new case for iPhone 4 that is intended to turn the fragile gadget impervious. The most up-to-date materials and technologies applied to the construction help the case meet the Military Standard 810-G and damp vibrations and strokes. Seems like the price of $99 looks reasonable now that you understand that, exposed to mechanical or blast influence, your iPhone will remain stable. At the same time we can only guess what kind of fascinating military applications iPhone designers are developing there.

Another militarized gadget that caught our eye is MobileDemand xTablet C1200 laptop. It meets the Military Standard 810-G due to its resistance to falling, dust, moisture, jolty and strokes.
The laptop has a rotating 12.1-inch touch-screen display with a 1280×800 resolution, a dual-core Intel Core i5 520UM processor with capacity up to 1.96 GHz and an 8 Gb RAM.

The device also features a SDHC card-reader, a slot for Express 34 cards, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and USB and e-SATA ports, while the wireless opportunities of the laptop extend to WLAN, WWAN, Bluetooth, 3G and a GPS-receiver. Optionally, the HDD can be equipped with an anti-shock protection.

MobileDemand xTablet C1200 is expected to be released no sooner than March, and there are no rumors about the price of the wonder-laptop, but this kind of robustness is surely worth a lot. It has never been an issue for the army though, so the military fellows will be all set and ready to go.
