Pool Offers Funky New Effects For The iPhone

01 Dec, 2009, 1:34 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | Mobile phones

Pool Inc., which provides cross-media marketing services, has released the "Funky Effects" iPhone application that contains recordings of special effects and comments that spice up scenes in everyday life, while letting users add their own special effects and messages.


With one press of the iPhone to play back the sound effect that fits the scene, it is aimed to liven up the atmosphere with an exciting sound or turn it down with a depressing sound by using this new type of entertaining communication tool.

As indicated by the key phrase "Showtime in an instant with a single push!" the application has functions including Quiz Show Mode that creates quiz show sound effects (the sound made each time when a question is given and a correct or incorrect answer is given, or when the sound of the audience is needed, etc.), Pay Attention Mode with one-liners such as "Nandeyanen?" (Why on earth?) and "Donaiyanen?" (How on earth?) used by the straight man in Japanese comic duos, and My Memory Mode that can be used as a sampling machine for recording and inputting the user's favorite sounds and lines.

As the recorded sound can be exchanged with other iPhones via Bluetooth, users can record anything and share it with their friends. The icons and photos can also be freely configured.

The application, put on sale from November 30, is available on the App Store for US$2.99/1.45 euros. To commemorate the application's release, it will be available at the special price of US$0.99/0.48 euro until December 31. It also has a useful function for immediately displaying the login screen when notifying friends by Twitter.
