Windy Pro is a breathtaking new app from the creator of Thunderspace. ≈ Revolutionary ≈ "Windy is what a pop-up book would look like in the digital age, if you were to combine it with IMAX audio." — Gannon Burgett, The Industry "Having used Thunderspace previously, I expected a good audio experience and I got one. Wind moves from left to right, right to left, hovers overhead. Sometimes a gust seems far away to the right, other times it's whipping just overhead. It's cool that you can often hear what the wind is carrying, too." — Dave Caolo, TUAW "There’s little question Windy has been carefully crafted – she’s a beautiful thing, with some real talented artists and technologists working behind the scenes here." — Paul Sawers, The Next Web "I’m absolutely loving the wind sounds." — Christine Chan, AppAdvice ≈ Features ≈ * Natural wind recorded on a December evening with occasional rain under an umbrella. + 3D sound optimized for Apple EarPods & headphones. * Motion-controlled multi-plane 3D parallax scene matching the wind recording (can be disabled). * Illustrations by star artist Marie Beschorner. * Music composed especially for Windy. * Wonderful story. * Optimized for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. * Revolutionary new user interface by award-winning interface designer Franz Bruckhoff. ≈ Questions? ≈ Send a tweet to @franzbruckhoff, email franz taptanium com or send an email through the built-in contact feature.
