			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tap To The Beat! is a dead simple app.  Simply tap in the &#8220;tap area&#8221; to a heartbeat, or music, or choreography and the app will display the bpm (beats per minute).  You can then save and name the save so you view previous bpm calculations.  The app also saves the min and max beats during the session.  There is also an option to change the number of samples taken before the bpm is calculated.  This typically helps with proper bpm calculation since human taps are usually different no matter how hard we try to tap the the beat.  </p>
<p>Typical uses:<br />
- determine your own heart beat by taping to your pulse<br />
- determine other peoples heart beat (like your children or baby)<br />
- use with a fetal doppler to determine the heartbeat of your developing baby<br />
- use this at a club or concert to help you determine the artists bpm (helpful for dj&#8217;s and artists<br />
- use while watching choreography to help determine the dances bpm (useful for cheerleaders and dancers)</p>
<p>There is a free ad based version and a paid version that has the ads removed.  Enjoy Tap To The Beat!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unlike other flashlight apps in the product catalog, Stay Lit Flashlight will always stay lit!  You no longer need to worry about your phone dimming then going to sleep.  See below for a list of features:</p>
<menu><strong> Features:</p>
<li type="disc">Keeps the flashlight lit for as long as you need it (no more screen dimming or phone sleeping)</li>
<li type="disc">Quick access to brightness adjustments</li>
<li type="disc">Option to change color on screen tap</li>
<li type="disc">Change the default color of the flashlight</li>
<li type="disc">Option to turn on the strobe light</li>
<li type="disc">Adjust the strobe light interval for faster or slower flickers</li>
<li type="disc">Option to turn on an SOS distress signal (flashes SOS)</li>
<p> </strong></menu>
<p>The main purpose of this app is to give the user light when he needs it for as long as he needs it.  Other flashlight apps in the product catalog will dim then turn off if you dont constanly keep touching your screen to keep it awake.  Stay Lit Flashlight always stays lit!</p>
<p>Stay Lit Flashlight also offers a quick and easy way to adjust the brightness of the flashlight.  Some nights are pitch black and your need extra brightness.  Other nights you may be running a stealth mission so you might want to use less brightness.  </p>
<p>This app gives you the ability to choose the color of your flashlight from a list of colors.  Red light would be great for the covert mission mentioned above.  You can also enable an option to change the color of the light when you touch the screen to entertain your kids.  </p>
<p>If you want to have some fun, crank the brightness up and turn on the strobe light.  In a fog filled you with a fast flickering strobe you can have all kinds of fun.  Adjust the flicker of the strobe in the preferences page for the perfect flicker.</p>
<p>If you find yourself stranded somewhere with no cellphone coverage, use the SOS distress signal.  This mode flashes light in the propper pattern that denotes SOS or Help.</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in Stay Lit Flashlight.  If you liked this app, think about making a donation to help encourage future development.</p>

Do not use this app if you have any medical conditions that are affected by light, especially flashing light.

<p>#######  Help Section #############</p>
<p>Q) I turned on the strobe effect and now i can&#8217;t turn on the SOS effect.  What should I do?</p>
<p>A) You can only use one effect at a time.  Simply turn off the strobe effect then turn on the SOS effect.  The same goes for the tap to change color effect.</p>

<p>The main purpose of this app is to keep the user up to date with the latest trip information.    Speed, heading, altitude, and various important trip information are made easily visible.  Even if you are in another application, GPS Trip Panel will display a dashboard popup notifying the user of the current speed and heading.  You can also make this popup &#8220;stick&#8221;  so that you can manipulate maps and still be informed of the speed and heading.</p>
<p>This app has other neat features aimed at delivering a superior GPS experience compared to the competition.  You can adjust the GPS update interval and GPS speed cutoff to help smooth out and deliver more accurate GPS data.  With these features you can still expect good GPS data even in low satellite reception areas.</p>
<p>This app also delivers other great features such as displaying your coordinates.  If you don&#8217;t think in coordinates, that is fine, simply tap the coordinates to push them to Google Maps.  Google Maps loves coordinates and can even translate them into an address.  These coordinates can also be copied by clicking the &#8220;Copy Coordinates&#8221; button.  Once copied you can paste them anywhere.  Memos is a great place to paste the coordinates for records keeping.</p>
<p>Another neat utility built into this app is the GPS message center.  It uses a few custom algorithms to help keep the user notified of what the GPS is doing and its status.  This can be very helpful to the user during times of low sky visibility where the gps might take a while locating or locking onto satellites.  If you are using another GPS app that doesn&#8217;t keep you informed of your GPS status, simply open up GPS Altitude next to the first app and it will keep you informed.</p>
<p>The app also comes with a built in error handling feature.  If there is a major GPS error you will receive a popup of the error.  Typically the user will be able to resolve the error with the information from the popup.  If not, see below for a list of Q/A.</p>

<p>Q) I can&#8217;t seem to get past the &#8220;Searching for Satellites&#8221; message.  What can I do?</p>
<p>A) There are a few things you can try so I will list them below:</p>
<menu>
<li type="disc">Make sure at least 40% of the sky is directly viewable by the phone.  Any obstructions, including a window may interfere.</li>
<li type="disc">Start up the app when you are not moving.  From my testing, the searching for satellites stage typically takes longer if you are moving around a lot.</li>
</menu>
<p>Q) I seem to be stuck at the &#8220;starting gps&#8221; message.  What can I do?</p>
<p>A) If this is happening to you, your gps has wigged out.  Your need to enter/exit airplane mode or perform a hard reboot.</p>
<p>Q) Sometimes when I open up the trip panel scene the application does&#8217;t display any numbers.  What is wrong?</p>
<p>A) This is a known bug cause by switching between the main screen, the preferences screen, and the trip panel real quickly.  It doesnt always happen, its very random.  This has to do with how WebOS handles opening and closing GPS tracking services.  Hopefully future versions of WebOS will fix this issue.  The fix is to either switch back and forth between trip panel and the main screen or to minimize the trip panel and open up the GPS dashboard/popup.  Then, you will see that your trip panel began populating values again.  Another fix is to open and close the app.</p>
<p>Q) How do i get to the Trip Panel?</p>
<p>A) Simply click the button with the arrow &#8220;<&#8211;&#8221; on it at the main screen.  Alternatively you can select it from the menu in the top left corner of the main screen.</p>
<p>Q) How do i exit the Trip Panel?</p>
<p>A) The back gesture in the gesture area will take you back to the main screen.</p>
<p>Q) Will this app work on the pixie?</p>
<p>A)  Yes and no.  The main screen and preferences page work fine, but only part of the trip panel is visible.  You wont be able to see the odometer/max speed/stopped time on the trip panel.</p>
<p>Q) Why does the 2 second GPS update interval sometimes fail to work properly?</p>
<p>A)  This is a weird problem that I have yet to be able to solve.  I will continue to work on this and keep the users informed if it gets fixed.  One thing you can do that will occasionally fix this problem is press the reset trip button in the trip panel scene.  I recommend using the 3 seconds update interval.</p>
