Festivals

April 20th, 2009

Festivals$0.99 from Eknath Kadam Festivals

Get quick and offline information and forthcoming dates of all religious festivals.

Religious festivals give us an opportunity to ignite cosmic love, mercy, generosity, selflessness, truthfulness and purity. Each festival, in its own way, pays tribute to all the enlightened beings and the pure inner love we nurture in our hearts.

Major festivals of all religions including,

• Asatru
• Buddhism
• Bahai
• Christian
• Hindu
• Islamic
• Jewish
• Jain
• Sikh
• Wiccan
• Zoroastrian

FEATURES:
• Significance and way of celebrating each festival
• Dates for all forthcoming festivals.
• Integration with Google calendar

•Please Note: The descriptions in 19 feast days of Baha’i faith are random texts taken from holy books, and may not have any relation with the feast day itself.
•The Bahá’í day starts at sunset, so the day is already a few hours old when the Gregorian day begins on the dates shown above. For example, the month of `Alá’ (Loftiness) is shown to begin on March 2. It actually starts at sunset on March 1.
• Feasts are usually celebrated after sunset on the day shown above. Each Baha’i month is 19 days long.

LicensePlate (Kennzeichen)$0.99 from Volker Bublitz LicensePlate (Kennzeichen)

In many countries - especially in europe - you will find a special character combination on a license plate that tells you where a car is coming from or gives other informations about the car.

LicensePlate comes with car license plate shortcuts of several countries, from which you can choose very fast and intuitive (see country list below). It shows informations about the region where a car is registered and links to the maps application, so that you can see on the map where the car is coming from and use the maps application to let it show you the way to that specific location. A global full text search or simple search for plate keys is another part of LicensePlate. Once you’ve spotted a plate you can mark it and build up your collection of plates you’ve seen on the street.

This application is ideal for longer road trips. Be sure to have an answer when your kids play a License Plate quiz again… and hey, i like that Pub quiz idea…!

Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Greece, Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, Spain, Lithuania, Slovakia, Croatia, Romania, former GDR, Japan, Turkey, Ukraine, Slovenia
