Little Fox Music Box isa collaboration between designer/illustrator Heidi

Wittlinger and Shape Minds Berlin – and quite simply, it looks absolutely beautiful when running.

After choosing a song from the intro screen, you’re transported into a one-screen scene, so there’s no panning required. Here, a small child (or someone doing a good job of impersonating a small child) sings along to the song in either English or German. To any sound-minded adults, this may grate after a while, but kids will adore it; this reviewer’s child certainly did. A recent update has added the ability for your child to sing along too and record their performance for later playback – a nice touch.

Within the scene, there are also things to interact with – for

The Land of Me follows the adventures of three animal friends – Eric,

Buddy Boo and Willow – and started off as a website and PC/Mac app designed by Ladybird in collaboration with child development experts, to help children develop their creativity through storytelling. This app is no different, offering the same fun.

In Story Time, the three friends are settling down for a story with old Granny Olive, a turtle of indeterminable age. Your child can choose which character the story is about, give it a basic plot, and decide what sort of ending it has.

In each case, it’s a choice between three options; the tale can even be altered as it’s being told, by tapping on key words. The adventure itself is animated in the

to like this app; but if we have one criticism, it’s that there are only three songs, and even a child might tire of them sooner or later. ●

There are other wireless baby monitors that can link to iDevices, but this one is

especially easy to use – and looks good. The camera unit looks like a little Mac mini, decked out head-to-toe in Apple white, and has a soft glowing light that can be adjusted in the accompanying app. It folds down for carrying around and also comes with a night stand and a carrying bag, which make it very portable and easy to position.

The big advantage of the Withings is that you can watch your little one from anywhere in the world on your iOS device, over Wi-Fi or 3G, making it perfect for parents who are far from home – or for anyone who just wants to keep an eye on their property.

There are lots of other features and possible applications worth a

mention, too. For example, using the app you can talk to baby, play him or her some lullaby music or take a picture. You get feedback on the temperature and humidity in the room, helping you to gauge the infant’s comfort level and possibly understand exactly why they won’t stop crying.

Anxious parentsIt can also use this data to set alerts (which can be further customised in iOS’s Notification Center) for motion detection, temperature, humidity or noise reaching a certain threshold. You get a slider for setting the noise threshold, so a bit of trial and error is needed to find the right balance. The app even shows you any peaks and troughs in noise or movement over the last 15 minutes.

The video quality isn’t as sharp as that for FaceTime, and the colours look washed out, but it’s good enough for monitoring a child. There’s a half-second delay to everything as well, but that isn’t a problem considering its sort of intended application.

Most importantly, the camera has an infra-red view, so you can see clearly what’s going on in the dark. There are some rudimentary pan, tilt and zoom effects too (though digital zoom, not optical), which can be accessed by tapping and nudging the screen around or using the pinch gesture.

What’s nice about the Withings Smart Baby Monitor is that once you’ve done the initial setting up there’s no need to mess about with complicated settings or log-ins – you just launch the app and you’re connected and viewing the video feed in seconds.

You can watch the feed on more than one iOS device at once by installing the app and logging in with your email address and password, although it isn’t possible to view it on a PC or Mac usinga web browser.

So should you buy the Smart Baby Monitor? It depends on how you plan to use it. If you put the monitor app on and don’t do anything else on your iOS device, it will work fine. But note that you can interrupt the audio stream by using some apps on your device (and let’s be honest, you will start doing that, because that’s what iPads are designed for), or on an iPhone by taking a phone call, so we’d suggest that the best way to use the device in the evening is in addition to a standard monitor.

It’s madly expensive, but perfect for anxious parents who just want to check on baby sleeping now and again, monitor temperature and noise or the rest, with the option of alerts – or even for anybody who wants to keep an eye on the house while they’re off on holiday. ●

You’ve ripped, converted or downloaded your movies, and now it’s time to get them onto your iOS device. Here are the four ways you can make it happen

Sync movies

A t first glance, this seems like the obvious choice – especially if you’re going to be on the road a lot. In

practice, it’s best avoided unless you either have a tiny movie collection or almost always have an empty iPad. After all, it’s not just for movies, and you’ll want to leave some space for your kids’ apps, photos and the other things your device can do.

If this is what you want, though, it’s easily done. Plug your iPad into your PC or Mac (with movies, it’s best to do this rather than use Wi-Fi syncing, purely for speed reasons), click its name under Devices at the right, and choose the Movies tab. Click the button next to Sync Movies, and underneath that, tick Automatically include. If the box after those words doesn’t say “all”, click on that next and make it do so. Finally, click Apply.

As long as you have space on your iPad to hold it all, iTunes will now push over everything you’ve got every time you sync. There’s really nothing more to it than that.

One important caveat here is that while this will sync everything in iTunes’ Movie library, that isn’t necessarily the same as syncing everything you might want on the iPad. There’s no way to have iTunes automatically copy anything you play in a third-party tool such as AVPlayer HD, for example. You also have to manually transfer any rentals using an option that appears on the Movies page.

Do make a point of keeping an eye on the Capacity bar at the bottom of the sync screen. Video is represented by the colour purple, and it doesn’t take many movies to

completely fill the free space of even a 64GB iPad. Use this full sync if you simply can’t be bothered with space concerns, but be ready to shift to one of the other options here in due course. Using iTunes playlists, for example, is little more effort but gives you far more control as your library swells beyond your iPad’s capabilities.

Syncing everythingThe “kitchen sync” if you will, limited only by the capacity of your iPad. For when you know you’ll want everything

HAVE IT ALL Nothing beats having a huge collection of movies when travelling. Just remember to leave a bit of space for apps and games!

There are two ways to tell iTunes what kind of movies you want on your iPad. The simplest is to plug it into your Mac

or PC, click its name under Devices, and click on the Movies tab. At the top of this screen, make sure that Sync Movies is ticked (otherwise iTunes won’t copy anything), along with Automatically include.

Click the box in the middle of the line and you get several options – the very simple “all movies”, the more precise “all unwatched movies”, and up to 10 recent or unwatched movies. Click Apply, and iTunes will sync the current contenders and remember what you want every time it’s synced. Set it to “unwatched”, and it’ll sync new movies and remove anything you’ve seen since you last connected it. With a small collection, this might be enough.

Playlists offer far more control, and there are two kinds available.A normal playlist is a list of movies, nothing more, nothing less. Click the + button at the bottom-left of the window to create one, give it a name, and drag-and-drop any movies you want onto it. Rename it to something like iPad Movies. Now go back to the Sync screen and untick Automatically include. Scroll to the box labelled “Include Movies from Playlists” and click the box next to your new playlist. Click Apply, and now anything in it will be synced across.

Smart Playlists are capable of filling themselves by looking at your whole library and adding anything that meets the criteria you set. Click File ➜ New Smart Playlist to create one. For the first rule, click the

boxes to make it say Media Kind is Movies. Make sure that Live Updating is ticked, and that Limit to isn’t, for now.

As it stands, this will include every movie in your collection. Click the + button by the first rule, though, and you can add additional rules (as many as you like) and filter by criteria such as Rating, Genre and Year.

Leave it to iTunesSet up a few rules, sit back, and let iTunes check to seewhat’s new every time your iPad connects to it

IN WITH THE NEW With a Smart Playlist, you can make it easy to ensure you’ve got a constant flow of new videos to keep your kids busy on long trips.

ABZ35.feat_movies.indd 100 6/28/13 10:52 AM

Your final option when it comes to syncing is to pick and choose everything that goes onto your iPad.

As with the other methods we’ve covered, the first step is to go to the Sync Movies screen, accessed by plugging your device into either your PC or Mac, clicking its name, and then clicking the Movies tab. Make sure Sync Movies is ticked but Automatically include remains unticked.

All the movies on your PC or Mac will be listed in the main box. To add them to the sync list, simply tick the box by their name. Whichever movies you’ve ticked the box for will be added to your iPad as soon as youclick Apply.

This is a tedious way to handle lots of movies, though, especially since you can’t group-select movies or filter the view. A far easier way is to set up a new Playlist. Click the + symbol in the bottom-left corner of the screen and type in an appropriate name. Return to the Movies section of iTunes and you can either drag-and-drop your films into it directly, or select them (hold down the

mouse button and drag a box around them, or click on one item and then ç-click on the others to select them), right-click, and choose Add To Playlist from the menu that pops up, followed by the name of the playlist you’ve just created.

You aren’t restricted to one single playlist here. Return to the Movies section of the Sync screen and you’ll see that you can create as many as you like. Playlists don’t even have to contain only movies. In most cases, it makes sense to stick with one media type, such as music or videos, to avoid your evening’s soundtrack suddenly being interrupted by a movie, for example. Here, iTunes is smart enough to know what files are what. A single “iPad” playlist can hold everything you want to take on the road.

Alternatively, there’s nothing to stop you breaking your library down to the nth degree and having a full set of separate, specific playlists synced over instead – which might be particularly handy when judging what mood your kids are in!

Hand-pick your collectionThe time-consuming, but far more powerful way to bring your kids’ favourite movies to the iPad

AGONISING CHOICES It’s possible to get too fussy about your playlists; in most cases, a Smart Playlist will do the same job with much less effort.

THIRD-PARTY APPS Adding movies to other apps

Sometimes you might have existing video files in AVI, WMV and MKV formats. The default iPad video player can’t deal with these formats, but there are plenty of other apps which can, such as AVPlayerHD.

Because iTunes won’t even sync files in these formats using the default method, making the video available to that player once you’ve got it is slightly fiddly, though simple enough. First, open iTunes and connect your iPad. Instead of going to the Movies tab, though, click Apps. Scroll down the page to a box labelled “File Sharing”, and click the name of your movie player – such as AVPlayerHD, for example.

Drag-and-drop the movie files from your desktop into the big box labelled “[App name] Documents” and wait while they sync. When this has finished, open the app itself on your iPad and they’ll be available to play. They won’t appear in the dedicated Videos folder, though, and other player apps you install won’t be able to see them.

Individual apps may offer other ways of importing files. In the case of OPlayer HD, for

example, there’s a built-in web browser that you can use to find and download them, and the option to open a specific URL – which can be used to connect to FTP servers and SAMBA networks, such a home network storage device. Check your app’s home page on the web for full instructions and, most importantly, troubleshooting.

Using these players is useful, but there’s one big catch to them. The default iPad app’s own playback benefits from hardware acceleration, while third-party ones have to do everything in software. This means they can’t offer HD playback on the original iPad, though the iPad 2 and later models are powerful enough to give it a try. You’re also likely to see reduced battery life, and even

some glitches, such as out-of-sync audio. Don’t let this put you off trying them – 90% of the time they work fine – but also don’t be surprised if you experience issues from time to time or with some files.

Despite their simplicity, there was a certain beguiling purity to old-

school platformers and their focus on running, jumping, and clockwork precision and timing. Penumbear takes this classic focus on tightly-controlled momentum and unlikely combinations of gymnastics, and adds in a neat light/shadow puzzling mechanic to largely bewitching effect.

It casts you as a rather-more-active-than-normal koala bear (hey, stranger things have

happened in gaming) trapped in a dingy, sinister castle, and – in classic style – your goal for each level is simply to reach the exit. What’s more, you’re entirely defenceless: there’s no bopping enemies on the head to dispel them going on, here. What you do have, though, is a nameless

magenta firefly buddy who you can order to turn various light bulbs on and off. In Penumbear’s world, you see, the line where light meets dark forms a solid edge. If there’s a beam of light in your path, you can’t cross it. If there’s one

beneath you, you can walk along it. This means each level needs to be approached tactically and manipulated to your advantage as a series of barriers, bridges and ramps. Many of the exit doors are locked too, which is where your glowing purple pals – who need to be collected and serve as keys – come into play.

Surprising heightsYou navigate the frequently perilous labyrinth of ledges and platforms with the directional buttons in the bottom-left of your screen, and the jump button in the bottom-right. Movement is nippy, but jumping is pleasingly floaty (making you feel a bit like Sackboy from PlayStation platformer LittleBigPlanet). You can also double-jump to surprising heights, as well as run off edges and then jump from midair – a joyful, usefully physics-defying manoeuvre if you need to, say, traverse a gap underneath a ledge.

Light sources and fireflies aside, this is a greyscale, watercolour-esque world – and it’s lovely to look at. There’s the occasional slight judder of the frame rate when you

pull off a particularly large jump, but otherwise it’s smooth. The other niggle is that the controls occasionally cause you to trip over yourself, especially when you need to move your hand to tap on a light in the middle of a double-jump or when the jump button annoyingly overlaps with an item you’re trying to interact with. Despite yourself, you do occasionally find your hands itching for a physical controller that would offer the requisite precision with a touch more fluidity and ease – although you never really come up against insurmountable obstacles.

Dotted around each level are one or more “bonus bears”. Their locations aren’t signposted and, unless you’re especially thorough, it’s actually possible to complete multiple levels in a row without even bumping into a single one of the little fellas. They bolster the already-generous length of the game for completists, as well as offering an even sterner challenge.

You see, in contrast to its cutesy looks and charming premise, Penumbear doesn’t offer an easy ride in terms of difficulty. You die frequently on tricky sections and – thanks to the fairly sparse checkpoints – tend to get sent back to the start of the level when you do. It’s a case of repeated iteration

rather than fluking your way through a level on the first attempt. But somehow it always feels fair though, and in typical platformer fashion you can usually identify what it is you’re trying to do a few goes before you manage to actually nail it.

As such, we found ourselves physically gesturing in frustration (at ourselves) at many points, but never actually wanting to quit the game – and it’s that latter part that proves the most telling. One for older children only, though. ●
