Apps Rush: Fanatix, Top Eleven, Shoutz, Single Jingles and more

A selection of nine new apps for you today: Fanatix UK online ticketing company Tixdaq has a new idea for iPhone: a "fan discovery and group messaging network" called Fanatix. It gets people to check in to live sporting events and gigs – whether there in person or watching on TV – and then finds friends for them to chat with using the iOS iMessage service. Photos and videos can also be shared, with ticketing also (unsurprisingly) a feature. iPhone Top Eleven More sport comes with Top Eleven, which started life as a social game on Facebook that has accumulated 3m monthly active players. Now it's available on Android, which enables people to play from their smartphones too. The game itself, developed by Nordeus, is a football management game played over the course of 28-day seasons. Android Shoutz The easiest way to grasp new app Shoutz is as being like Twitter, but with video rather than text, complete with its own lingo. "Shoutz is truly the first mobile-to-mobile video network built around its own unique platform," reckons the app's listing. "Users can share, comment, rate and ReShout right from their smartphone." iPhone / Android Puzzle Pop – by Duck Duck Moose Developer Duck Duck Moose has a strong reputation among parents for its range of kid-apps, and Puzzle Pop looks to continue that trend. It offers a collection of animated puzzles, complete with jazzy covers of famous children's songs. iPhone Explore Vincent Explore Vincent is a new iPad app that wants to get children exploring the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh, with animation and educational games. Developed in the Netherlands, it's available in an English-language version. iPad Gertrude McFuzz – Dr. Seuss You'd think Oceanhouse Media would be running out of Dr. Seuss books to turn into apps, but they keep unearthing new ones. Gertrude McFuzz is a short story with characteristic wordplay and illustrations. iPhone / Android 3D Solar System Reason Interactive's 3D Solar System iPhone app id designed to be used with Hasbro's my3D 3D viewing glasses accessory, giving it niche appeal. The idea: see the planets and moons of the Solar System looming out of your iPhone as you fly past in a virtual spaceship. iPhone Single Jingles App Feeling your testicles? There's an app for that. Single Jingles wants to raise awareness of testicular cancer, and the need for young men to regularly self-check. It may be a few seconds not spent playing Angry Birds, but it could save their life. iPhone Smirnoff Cocktails Diageo has launched an iPhone app for its Smirnoff vodka brand, promising a "hand-picked selection of cocktails" including its own Smirnoff Mule. Cocktails can be chosen by level of mixing expertise, too. iPhone
