October 11, 2012 — Frankfurt — Rovio Entertainment launched its new cookbook app, Bad Piggies Best Egg Recipes, at the Frankfurt Book Fair. This one-of-a-kind iPad app offers informative, surprising, and colorful egg recipes plus full social media integration for an app that’s perfect for sharing and enjoying with friends.

“We wanted to create a cookbook that brings a family together to actively do things together with the characters they all love,” said Peter Vesterbacka, Mighty Eagle and CMO. “It’s fully interactive at every stage — from seeing the illustrations come to life to sharing photos with your friends and family.”

Bad Piggies Best Egg Recipes draws from Rovio’s 2011 award-winning cookbook of the same name, but adds additional features that take full advantage of the tablet’s interactivity. The app features step-by-step photo instructions of 41 egg recipes, an in-app egg timer, and eye-catching and surprising photos of the finished dishes “prepared” by the pigs. The app is also chock full of charming illustrations which offer more than meets the eye: they’re full of interactive easter eggs that bring the birds and piggies to life.

“What makes this cookbook special is that the photographs of the app are taken by the pigs, which means that your own dish always looks better than the ones in the book,” said Sanna Lukander, VP of Books. “Quite a change from the average cookbooks on the market!”

Bad Piggies Egg Recipes is normally $4.99 USD (or local currency equivalent), but is available now at the Apple App Store at the special introductory price of $.99. A Chinese language version of the app, featuring some new recipes and photos, is also available from the Chinese App Store.

The physical cookbook released last year won “Best First Cookbook of the Year” at 2012’s Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Show Press Release (259 More Words)

To our customers,

At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.

We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up.

There are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps, with more and more joining us every day. In just over a week, iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you.

While we’re improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app.

Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard.

Tim Cook
Apple’s CEO
