Your iPhone Loves It
shiftyjelly - Small Company, Great Applications
At ShiftyJelly our mission is simply to bring you the best applications in the world, that we love using ourselves. We have 4 applications currently in the App Store but are working on more. We also build world class web sites and custom software solutions for just about any need. We only work on our own ideas and products, so we're not going to be interested in porting your windows mobile form based application the iPhone, but good luck with that.
We do all of this for love, and not money and refuse to be pinned down to release schedules and estimated profit margins. We build world class applications because we want to and because we can.
We're based in sunny Adelaide Australia one of the best places on earth to be situated, as well as a great source of our creative direction.

the stars of the show (or who to blame)...
Team Shifty is made up of three key people:

Philip Simpson - twitter.com/geekygecko
Philip is our back end Ruby Wizard. He is the architect of all of our web projects and is also the hidden side of all of our iPhone applications that require a server. He spends his spare time dreaming of his girlfriend Ruby.

Nathan is our sole design, and creates the unbelievably awesome designs that you see through all of our applications and web sites. A small sample of his work is this very site which you're currently on.

Pocket Weather AU Lite
because try before you buy is all the rage these days...
We think Pocket Weather AU is the best weather application available for your iPhone. Some people are hesitant to take our word for it and pay the $2.49 required to find out, so we created a Lite version.
Features:
- Forecast & observation data for hundreds of areas around Australia (every single location that the BOM has, we have)
- Automatically find your local weather using your current location
- Last update is always cached, so you don't need a network connection to check the weather for the week, once you've got it once.
-A free piece of Pocket Weather Goodness for all to try.
Of course if you want animated weather icons, push notifications, rain radars, synoptic and satellite charts, landscape view, 3 more skins, sunrise/sunset times, tidal information, customisation and a whole lot more, then you need the full version! That of course and the warm fuzzy feeling you get from knowing that our kids/dogs will be have food on the table for one more day.
Pocket Weather World
because push is the new pull...
Weather information for thousands of locations around the globe, all in the palm of your hand.

It's weather for your iPhone, done right.

Pocket Sounds
because the kiddies they dig it...
Pocket Sounds was our first foray into the world of iPhone apps. We had never touched Objective-C or Cocoa, or dealt directly with Apple as developers. So we needed a nifty little app to test it all out with. We also figured that there would be no better way to motivate ourselves than building something for the kiddies. And our kiddies still use it to this day. Pocket Sound is, and will remain 100% free of charge, if you want to show your love for it (or us), please purchase our other application, Pocket Weather :)
