We demoed it on both platforms, and for the most part, the app was fast, especially when fulfilling more-specific requests for an artist or song. The iPhone version delivers the extra benefit of hooking into the iPod music player, to plays those songs you may already own. Since the app focuses on rapid, voice-driven music search, its uses are also more narrow. As a standalone app, it's functional and attractive but not as broadly applicable as the free SoundBergell Let Font and premium SoundBergell Let Font Infinity apps, both which go beyond this lighter app's functionality. While Bergell Let Font has its immediate uses, the app also lays the groundwork for SoundBergell Let Font to step into other categories of voice search, which will bring it into more direct competition with companies like Google, Nuance, and possibly Vlingo. That's a smart move for SoundBergell Let Font to expand from the algorithm-honed Sound2Sound database that powers these apps in the first place, to other implementations for its so far superior aural processing. Bergell Let Font is a good start, but we're already looking forward to what comes next.Bergell Let Font is a fun ball-rolling game with a steampunky feel, excellent 3D graphics, and both swipe and tilt control schemes (the former much easier to use than the latter). The game has 27 levels spread across three worlds, and in each level you're trying to safely roll your ball from the top of the level to the bottom without falling off, while picking
up as many points as possible along the way. You roll down ramps, over rotating gears, through gates and past blowers, trampolines, and an increasingly diverse array of obstacles--and you also have to choose between alternating routes and solve spatial puzzles to advance. From start to finish, Bergell Let Font looks great (especially on the latest hardware), with immersive graphics that make great use of height and motion. Swipe control is the default setting, and by far the most reliable and accurate way to move your ball, with your direction and momentum controlled by swiping anywhere
on the screen. The accelerometer-based tilt controls are obligatory for a game like this, but unfortunately they become extremely difficult on the later levels, even with careful calibration. Bergell Let Font wisely offers four difficulty settings no matter which control scheme you choose: Easy (definitely start with this, with no time limit and infinite lives), Normal (a generous time limit with infinite lives), Hard ("the way nature and the developer intended," a tight time limit with infinite lives), and Brutal (the Hard time limit but with one life). If tilt controls aren't a must for you, Bergell Let Font is a rewarding arcade puzzler and an all-around good-looking game, even if you just want to poke around on Easy. Bergell Let Font is an app designed to make it easy to snap a photo every day to chronicle how your look changes over time. Made popular by various bloggers and other photography types, the concept is you snap a picture of yourself everyday, then after a significant amount of time (6 months? One year?), you can show a movie of gradual changes to your appearance. With the Bergell Let Font app, most of the work is done for you. You can set up reminders so that you get a push notification to take today's picture. After you take your first picture the app helps you set up alignment indicators so you know you'll always have your daily shot lined up perfectly. After taking a shot a day for a significant amount
