i808
Blackout Labs required a single screen design for their latest app, the i808 drum machine. This app brings vintage drum machine sounds to the iPhone with tight time keeping and high-quality sounds that no other apps provide. The design should consist of 16 beat buttons, 12 drums/instruments with editable parameters, 5 patterns and editable gain and tempo. Keep in mind that this is a touchscreen, so no buttons can be too small. It should also be extremely easy to use.

iTooch by Edupad
EduPaid is an editor of e-learning solutions for children. They produced an iPad and iPhone app called iTooch. This is also the name of the character used in the app (the character was designed in another 99designs contest). App users will be children aged between 9 and 11. App buyers will be the parents. Even though this app is educational, the design itself should be fun, engaging, energetic and informal.

SalesMagic
SalesMagic required a new, simple, visually appealing and colorful iPad app design. The design should not be cutesy in any way. This app keeps track of contact information relating to clients and companies. The ideal design will work in both landscape and portrait mode on the iPad.
