Speed is everything in this rapidly moving world. Social networking demonstrates that ably. Providing brief but concise information is just as important but it’s not always easy to sum something up while keeping all the pertinent information in there. Enter Trimit which hopes to rectify that problem.
It’s the first of its kind – an app that automatically summarizes and condenses information. It does so by using an incredibly complicated and impressive algorithm to ‘trim’ text to any specified length. All the relevant information is in there, it’s just taken out all the fluff.
The app allows for users to set filters, add acronyms, abbreviations or shorten URLs. Even the ability to remove vowels is in there if the user so wishes, although the one-time English student in me isn’t so sure about that!
Text can be simply imported from any URL and the results then shared via email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, printed or saved as a txt file for future reference.
It’s impressive stuff indeed.
Check out the video that demonstrates Trimit in action.
It’s available now priced at $0.99 for a limited time only, with a regular price of $4.99 in the future.

:: INSANELY PUZZLING
Welcome back to Scoggins Minnesota. Agent Tethers has returned to iOS in Puzzle Agent 2,and it's the most inventive adventure-puzzler to port to the App Store since the first instalment brought Graham Annabel’s character to life in a game that will make fans of Professor Layton not only cheer, but laugh.
To unravel the plot and save the town, players help Tethers solve a series of puzzles – largely logic, sequencing and math problems – that vary in difficulty from easy to “WTH super difficult.”
Most of the puzzles are solvable without too much mental mastication, but a few left at least this one avid puzzler Googling for cheats.
Budding music creators looking to create for multitrack recording on the go have a new option to turn to: studio.M. This app, designed primarily for electronic music composition, and working with loops. The app allows for recording of audio through the microphone, to record vocals, beatboxing, or any other interesting sounds users may generate coming out of their mouth. These vocal tracks can then be looped, cropped, pasted, or edited however across the app’s multitrack interface, with the ability to apply multiple filters to the music. Loops downloaded from the app’s loops store can then be added to any mixes. There are a variety of free loops, along with packs of paid loops available as well at a variety of BPM rates. The app is a free download, supporting four track recording with support for any beats acquired from the in-app store. Users wanting to import their own audio can do so from apps supporting Audio Copy & Paste. By upgrading to studio.MX in the app for $4.99, users can get eight-track recording, additional effects, and 130 additional loops. Audio can be exported via iTunes in 16-bit/44.1 kHz WAV format. Want to hear what can be done with the app? Check out this miniature musical masterpiece* below.
Weave is a To Do list app. We’ve all seen those before but Weave offers some fundamental differences. Instead of solely tracking what needs doing, it also keeps notes on income, expenses, projects and time spent making it an ideal way of keeping track of mostly everything any user could need.
Sociable Facebook users will have already noticed that the official Facebook app for the iPhone doesn’t offer any events interaction. Fortunately there’s now an app that offers exactly that. Friends Events allows its users to check out exactly what events their friends are attending, view the events that they have been invited to and RSVP right from within the app. 
There are 300 recipes in all, each divided into different categories for easy consultation. For someone such as myself, allergic to pork and red meat on the whole, it’s handy to be able to look under pasta, poultry, vegetarian and fish individually. While users can simply select the entree, sides and desserts for themselves, a tap of the suggested menu button creates a balanced meal plan. This then offers up nutritional information with a green circle indicating at a glance that it’s a healthy combination, with more detailed information covering the specifics such as calories and fat content. 
The tale behind Ill-Fated Relationship is of a decent length with 20 chapters in all. The story focuses on the romance that develops between two serial killers, hence the name. It’s not the most obvious of subject matters but it works well. Character development is conducted well and while the story is incredibly dark, it’s compelling. The ending although hardly a surprise, is still gripping and leaves the reader with a sense of satisfaction at the realisation that they’ve read a good graphic novel.
As an app, Ill-Fated Relationship is simple enough to use. Annoyingly it takes a couple of minutes to become useable when first loaded but after that, it’s pretty smooth to interact with. A swipe of the finger controls most of what’s needed and it’s easy to get back to the start. Each chapter is separately accessible so it’s not too overwhelming to navigate – a very handy feature in such a lengthy graphic novel. Bonus features also exist with a parody episode of the story as well as two teaser trailers which make for a moment or two of interest.
