Should I choose native or cross-platform development? Choose native for performance-heavy apps. Choose cross-platform for faster and more affordable builds. How do I protect my app idea? Sign NDAs with your development team and consider patenting unique functionalities. Can I make changes after the app is launched? Absolutely. Regular updates improve performance and user satisfaction. How do I market my app post-launch? Use ASO, social media campaigns, influencer outreach, and email marketing. In today's fast-paced world, a mobile app is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity.

New Trailer For The Imagination-Fueled Fantasy Film SKETCH - "Unleash Your Inner Monsters" — GeekTyrant
Angel Studios has released a great new trailer for its imagination-fueled dark fantsy family film Sketch . The movie has been getting a lot of great and positive reviews, and it's on that I've very mush looking forward to watching. I enjoy watch these kinds of adventure films that lean into the imagination of kids and monsters. As I'm watching the trailer, I'm reminded of the films that I loved as a kid, and this movie looks like it captures the spirit and energy of those movies. In the film, 'When 10-year-old Amber's (Bianca Belle) comically dark drawings start coming to life, her small town descends into chaos. Now, her family must face Amber's living nightmares head-on before her creations end up destroying everything.' The movie is described as 'Dazzlingly inventive.. take[s] the wide-eyed wonder of a Steven Spielberg, the impish mischief of a Joe Dante, plus the vibrant visuals of prime Pixar and somehow blitz[s] them together in a Magic Bullet blender' The movie comes from filmmaker Seth Worley making his feature directorial debut, and it stars Tony Hale, D'Arcy Carden, Kue Lawrence, Kalon Cox, Jaxen Kenner, Genesis Rose Brown, and introducing Bianca Belle as Amber. Angel Studios will release Sketch in theaters starting on August 6th, 2025.

TeamLab is lighting up the world, one city at a time
There's a reason millions of visitors are obsessed with teamLab's art exhibitions: where else can you spend an otherwise normal afternoon gazing into an infinity of crystal stars, chasing digital crows from room to room, or making flowers grow with the touch of a single, god-like finger? TeamLab, an international collective of mathematicians, engineers and artists, emerged in 2001, gaining traction with an early staging by artist Takashi Murakami. Since then, the group, whose works aim to 'navigate the confluence of art, science, technology and the natural world', has expanded globally, with permanent and temporary exhibitions in Asia, Europe and the United States. Last year, teamLab Planets in Tokyo, welcomed 2.5 million people, setting a Guinness record as the most visited museum by a single art group. TeamLab currently has 12 exhibitions in Japan, as well as sites in places like Singapore, Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), Macao, Miami (US), New York (US), and Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Installations or museums are planned for Hamburg (Germany), Utrecht (the Netherlands), Kyoto (Japan), and more. In 'Sketch' installations at several sites you use crayons to colour in a creature, which then comes alive as a projection on the walls and the floor. — teamlab These sensory playgrounds couldn't be farther from a sterile white art gallery. You may find yourself wading through a pool (yes, actual water) with digital koi fish or playing with streaming whirlpools of pixels. Sometimes the installations are set outdoors in dark rice paddies, as in Izura, Japan, or use strings of live orchids that rise and drop depending on your path, as at the Planets museum. In Sketch installations at several sites you use crayons to colour in a creature, which then comes alive as a projection on the walls and the floor. The colours, textures and lighting are ripe for Instagramming, leading some critics to dismiss the installations as art candy or a tourist trap. But they also explore bigger themes of self, boundaries, interconnection, and life and death in the natural world. They lead you on a psychedelic journey without taking actual psychedelics. Here are eight places around the globe where you can get a taste of the trippy and thrilling teamLab experience. Tokyo (Japan) Be ready to take off your shoes and get wet at teamLab Planets (admission: ¥3,800 to ¥5,400/RM112 to RM159), which opened new rooms in January. This linear interactive space, in the city's Toyosu district, features elements like trampolines, mirrors, water and garden rooms. Inside, you can peer into a crystal starscape, wander through an immersive flower garden and wade with fluorescent koi. The new Catching And Collecting Extinct Forest installation allows you to catch and release digital endangered animals while learning about them on an integrated app. In the Sketch space, you can colour your own creatures to be projected into the exhibit, and then in the Factory, buy a T-shirt with your creature on it. Even Emptiness Table, the museum's vegan ramen restaurant, offers an ever-changing digital art experience. Visitors at teamLab Borderless at the Mori Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo. The group's psychedelic sensory playgrounds of light, sound, stars, bubbles, birds and more are expanding around the globe, dazzling millions of visitors a year. — Shiho Fukada/The New York Times Borderless (¥3,600 to ¥5,600/RM106 to RM165), teamLab's other major Tokyo museum in the Azabudai Hills district, is a non-linear series of rooms to explore with no map and no directions. Clustered around a central waterfall, the rooms splinter off, with themes and motifs like bubbles and digital crows that fly from one installation to another. Take as long as you want to feel your way through. At the attached teahouse, enjoy the infinitely blooming flowers projected into your cup. New York (US) Generated by a computer programme using data points influenced by the season, sunrise and sunset, Continuous Life And Death At The Now Of Eternity II (free) is a digital garden of seasonal blossoms such as chrysanthemums, azaleas and hydrangeas. The evolving garden, which never repeats but echoes the real weather conditions outside, is displayed on a roughly 8.2m by 4.8m public screen in the lobby of 1 Vanderbilt, a skyscraper next door to Grand Central Terminal. The work, which dominates a route frequented by commuters, seems designed to be viewed consistently by the same people across seasons and years. Miami, Florida (US) Between Life And Non-Life (US$32/RM136), part of the immersive Superblue Miami museum, explores growth and regeneration by inviting visitors to interact with digital flowers, vines and water on the walls and floor amid pulsating ambient music. Touch the wall, then step back and quietly watch the plants grow, die and be washed away, only to begin the cycle again. For an extra charge, visitors can also walk through teamLab's Massless Clouds Between Sculpture And Life exhibit, a space filled with floating, fluffy masses of cloud-like suds. Superblue also features spaces by artists like Es Devlin and James Turrell. The teamLab group's psychedelic sensory playgrounds of light, sound, stars, bubbles, birds and more are expanding around the globe, dazzling millions of visitors a year. — AFP Izura, Japan Hidden Traces Of Rice Terraces , a nighttime-only outdoor project (¥2,400/RM71), 'explores how nature can become art' by using digital technology to avoid harming the installation's natural environment of abandoned rice fields in a forest by the sea. Lanterns guide visitors as they trace the borders of rice terraces along a mirror-like path of water while projected light and music create an ethereal effect using the trees, waves and terrain. In a forest space, beams of light shoot past like a long-exposure photo of fireflies. On a beach installation, when the waves rise, projected flowers bloom, symbolising the breath of life. The site, about 150 minutes by train northeast of Tokyo, sits near a hot spring hotel, where you can extend the otherworldly teamLab experience with a hot soak amid the installations (rooms start at ¥19,177/RM566). Singapore Surrounding the centrepiece 40m Jewel Rain Vortex waterfall inside Changi Airport, the living Resonating Forest – Shiseido Forest Valley (free) shines and dims, with individual coloured lights illuminating each tree as if it's breathing. The lights change tone depending on the tree's elevation and spread to the nearby trees, adapting as travellers pass. Digital Light Canvas (S$8.55/RM28) at the Marina Bay Sands hotel, echoes the Jewel Rain Vortex, but with crystal lights acting as the water. As in other teamLab locations, visitors can hand-colour creatures, but here they are projected onto the floor below the simulated waterfall. Abu Dhabi (UAE) TeamLab Phenomena, a white, undulating waterfront museum (150 dirhams/RM174), sits alongside Louvre Abu Dhabi and the forthcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi in the Saadiyat Cultural District. The rotating installations inside, all linked to the theme 'environmental phenomena', include interactive whirlpools simulating the ones found in Japan, a room full of moving beams of light that converge to create giant sculptures, and floating metallic eggs that respond to a wading visitor's touch with sound. In one space, Levitation Void , a black sphere hovering at the centre of a red-lit room moves in response to visitors. – ©2025 Lisa Lucas/The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

By Beatrice Aidin Rarely do I gasp at the sight of dim sum, but the vibrant beauty of the green garlic, chive and chicken and ruby-red crystal morel trio has us snapping away on our phones. They taste as good as they look – and are not only great value but utterly delicious. We're seated in the chic Chinoiserie-style dining room, and we indulge in Sichuan Suffolk corn-fed chicken with cashew nuts – its kick of dried chilli is just right. Their vegetarian options are equally special, like the clay pot black bean aubergine. Each dish is served with olive fried rice and crunchy seasonal vegetables (set menus often get you on the sides). For pudding, the refreshing coco mango vegan sundae felt just like heading into the Mayfair sunshine. Baskets in Bloom menu, from £34pp. 55 Curzon St, Mayfair, W1J 8PG. Book here. Best for: fashion meets Chelsea Flower Show Sticks 'n' Sushi is embracing this year's Chelsea Flower Show theme with a stunning installation of a floral display by the legendary late Alexander McQueen.

Sticks'n'Sushi Chelsea. Book here. Best for: feeling like you're in Bridgerton Sketch In Bloom isn't technically tied to the Chelsea Flower Show, rather it's a floricultural celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday. Enter through a clematis-strewn pergola fluttering with pages from Austen's novels, and step into the Library, where a giant wisteria tree awaits. In the iconic rose gold dining room, staff in Regency-inspired dresses serve afternoon tea, while a string trio worthy of a Bridgerton ball plays in the corner. Miniature spring delights on your silver cake stand include a daisy-shaped apricot tart, lavender macaron and an adorable mousse cake disguised as a strawberry. Even the iconic Pod bathrooms are blooming, watched over by a giant topiary Jane on a throne of ballet pink roses and lilac delphiniums.

The sweetest sip in town… available from all CROSSTOWN stores and online later this week. By Sophie Laughton Go down the unprepossessing bus stop side of Victoria station and you'll find neighbourhood gem Tozi. It's a poster child for warm Italian hospitality, with complimentary fresh bread and gorgeous Sardinian wine by the glass. It's all very La Dolce Vita… literally. They're projecting the 1960s classic onto the wall above the kitchen. Share your way through the cicchetti menu: delicate yellowtail carpaccio, fresh and simple salads, and a delicious selection of Italian meats and cheeses. Their springtime special, Rustichelle with peas, asparagus and Tuscan pecorino, is vibrant, green and earthy, but it's not a patch on their signature dish: perfect pasta parcels of buffalo ricotta in a buttery black truffle sauce. Continue the green theme with Tozi's take on London's trendiest ingredient – a silky, nutty pistachio tiramisu. Bellissima ! Cicchetti from £9.75. 8 Gillingham St, Pimlico, SW1V 1HJ. Book here. Set in the upstairs area of the cavernous warehouse setting of Big Penny Social in the reliably trendy east London neighbourhood of Walthamstow, Flukes promises enough interactive games, craft beer, and cocktails to make for the perfect birthday celebration or corporate get-together. It's a bit more expensive than simply putting your pound down at the local pub, but the interactive darts board with a projector, screen, and array of games is a competitor to the likes of Flight Club. The design of the pool table area can make gameplay a little awkward with people coming and going, but the atmosphere and bar food more than make up for it. Though the private karaoke rooms could use a lock (interruptions mid-warble aren't ideal), the brand-new equipment and proper soundproofing mean this spot is likely to become justifiably popular. Darts, shuffle and karaoke, £10pp per hour. Pool, £15 per hour. Upstairs at Big Penny Social, 1 Priestley Way, Walthamstow, E17 6AL. Book here.
