Toronto's Sago Sago launches Sago Mini Friends on iPad

Designed for toddlers ages 2-4, Sago Mini Friends allows kids to take the lead in their own playdates. The fun begins when the doorbell rings. Inside the homes of their favorite Sago Mini characters, kids can take part in a variety of activities, from sharing snacks and playing dress-up to unwrapping gifts and watering plants. With five friends and ten activities, Sago Mini Friends invites kids to explore and make up stories, with unexpected surprises and reactions along the way.

This marks the 10th app in the popular Sago Mini series. As with all Sago Mini apps, Friends has no in-app purchases or third-party advertising, so kids are free to discover without interruption. The app allows for strong story-telling opportunities, building on kids’ natural sense of wonder, creativity and curiosity. Sago mini Friends is available at the iOS App Store for $2.99.

Vine for iOS update adds more notification control and other new features

Twitter recently released an update for its Vine app on iOS to add new features as well as more language support. Vine users get more control over their notifications now. You can customize how you receive notifications via push notifications and in the Activity tab right from the Notifications menu in Settings. You’ll also know how many unread VMs and activity items you have with the new badge. You can now also create Vines without having to decide yet if you will share it publicly or just send it to someone.

The navigation bar has also been improved to let you switch between tabs with one tap instead of two and the top bar fades when you view Vines from another user’s profile or from your home feed. Vine now also supports Arabic, English (UK), and Hebrew.
