Cronos Labs recently launched their first game, WordMix and to celebrate the launch they will be giving away $50 Amazon Gift Cards every week for the next four weeks. The app is free for a limited time here. Quoting the devs :

To celebrate our initial release of WordMix, we are excited to announce a weekly prize drawing for the next month! Anyone that downloads and plays the game in August is automatically entered to win. If you are our randomly selected winner, a personal message will be sent to you when you launch the game with instructions on how to claim your gift card. Winners will be announced on a weekly basis via our Twitter feed.

The game's premise is simple but good. You have to create as many words as possible with the given 6 letters before the timer runs out. The game leaderboard is provided by ScoreLoop which also has other great games like Frenzic , Pirates Assault etc.

The developers are running a poll to determine which languages should be included in the next update of the vocabulary game. Go and vote!

Cronos Labs Launches DataHub Pro to organize your life

There are lists. And then there are lists. Choose any platform and you will find tons of to-do and list apps, but most of them, even the popular, are rigid and bound to one format. DataHub by Kronos Labs is a nifty database and form builder whose ad-free Pro version launched recently. It seems to be the only general database app in the marketplace so far. DataHub uses Dropbox instead of SkyDrive because of API support but the popularity of DropBox will ensures that its not an inhibitor. Its high degree of user customization makes it worth trying out atleast once, especially for organised people (like me).

Inspired by OneNote and a bit by Microsoft Access, DataHub allows users to configure and edit their own structured datasets on their phones. We have a very efficient synchronization system with Dropbox as the storage provider. One feature we are especially proud of is our sharing. Using Dropbox folder sharing, two (or more) users can all edit the same dataset at the same time. If they both edit the same record at the same time, the last user to synchronize gets a great UI showing them all of their changes vs. the other users’. This allows them to select which changes to keep.

Download DataHub Pro here.
