LOL, I fixed the problem, but I can't remember how I did it. Even though I didn't have 5 computers listed as being authorized, that had something to do with it, as after I de-authorized all computers, and then authorized the computer I'm now using, I was finally able to get the music to drop down from the cloud. Sometimes I still have the issue where the iPod won't sync, and then I change USB ports on the computer and it will then sync. Yet, the USB where I was trying to get the sync works fine with a flash drive. So I wonder if moving the plug or cord while reconnecting allowed the sync. I've heard that the connector to the iPod can go bad, and maybe that is what is happening, but I can't prove it right now. I guess time will tell on that. I can't remember if there was something else I did. At least at this time I can download most of the time without changing USB's. I have to believe that it "is" the iPod itself. I haven't dropped it, but I use it every day and it's a couple of years old. This is all I can report.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. Yes, there is an Apple store here in town. Don't know if they can repair an iPod though. Once it quits, I'll take it in and see.

There are so many possible variables and culprits. One would almost have to be there with you to figure it out.

Can you take it to an Apple store?

No it doesn't. I've checked the boxes for my Music, pictures, and Podcasts. That's all I have to sync. I've tried authorizing my computer over and over and it tells me it's authorized. This is the only computer that is currently authorized. I've tried plugging the ipod into different USB's. The computer and itunes has been restarted numerous times. I thought I was going to get it to sync once tonight and then it only sync'd 11 songs of many albums, and a couple podcasts, and not even the most recent ones, before the sync shut down. I googled the problem, and got a page that said to partitioin my computer and install iTunes by itself in one of the partitioned areas. I don't see how that's going to work, or make any difference. I've run out of things to try. Can you suggest anything else? Connie

After the iPod is plugged in, on the left you should see it listed. Clicking on it will bring up other options. For each of the things you want to sync, you have to select the box. Clicking sync will then start syncing the content.

I bought a new computer from Amazon.com, and when it came it looked used, so I told Amazon and they sent me another, and this one looks new and set up like it was new. But now I'm having a problem syncing my Classic iPod. I can pull the podcasts up in iTunes, and the iPod will show that it's syncing, but if I look at the iPod page that shows how much is on the iPod, the short sync doesn't put anything on it. I couldn't tell if it was a problem with my iPod or the computer. So I hooked up my old computer and the iPod synced perfectly with no problems. The only thing it could be was the security suite, which was McAfee, so I uninstalled that, and installed Security Essentials, which was what I used on my old computer. Well the new Security Essentials came up as 360 Security. I tried shutting down everything I could in the 360 and still I can't get the iPod to sync. What do you suggest? Should I try to contact iTunes/Apple to see if they know the problem with that software?

If you are trying to sync a device with iTunes that has been synced with another iTunes library, it will ask if you want to delete what content is on the device and sync with the content in iTunes.

I hope some of you are still actively helping others, because I really need help. I've spent 4 hours trying to read and determine how to set up my syncing in iTunes.

I get message windows that are very confusing, i.e., asking me if I'm sure I want to delete everything on my iPod and sync with only the ones showing. No, I would prefer just adding on to what's on the iPod, but don't even know how to get the sync set up.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tropical Software has announced that TopXNotes Mac note organizer has been awarded a splendid 10 out of 10 in Dennis Sellers' a full review in AppleWorld. TopXNotes is an award-winning, full-featured personal information manager. Create, view, organize, and instantly access your Mac notes with TopXNotes. In AppleWorld's first full review of TopXNotes, Mr. Sellers thoroughly explored TopXNotes' hybrid Apple note organizer and password-protector and more.

Atlantic Beach, Florida - Tropical Software has announced that TopXNotes Mac note organizer (version 1.8.1) has been awarded AppleWorld's highest ranking (10 out of 10) in a full review by veteran writer Dennis Sellers.

AppleWorld reviewer, Dennis Sellers stated, "Think of TopXNotes as a collection place where you can put info stuff you need to remember, but can't."

"We are very pleased with the careful consideration Mr. Sellers has given TopXNotes," stated Tropical Software president James Lee. "In AppleWorld's first full review of TopXNotes, Mr. Sellers thoroughly explored our hybrid Apple note organizer and password-protector. We are thrilled he has recognized the value of our unique and easy-to-use approach."

Mr. Sellers goes on to say, "My favorite feature is QuickNotes, where you can tag any note as a "QuickNote" and have it accessible without having to bring TopXNotes itself to the front of your work screen."

The review notes "Mac OS X comes with a Notes app. But it's a weenie tool compared to TopXNotes." and goes on to focus on TopXNotes unique 2-level security with "You can set individual passwords on notes, password the entire notepad, or even both. Take that, Mac OS X Notes!"

The review summarizes with "TopXNotes has all the features you need to keep track of, organize and access all sorts of notes. The ability to password protect, a feature missing from many other note products, is icing on the cake."

Then TopXNotes was favored by the reviewer for its "clean, single window interface that puts controls for highlighting and marking up your text right at your fingertips," as well as its exclusive QuickNotes feature.

TopXNotes has also been highly rated by Macsimum News (9 out of 10), Version Tracker (5.0), and MacUpdate (5.0). Tropical Software was the first to support export of notes to Classic iPod and makes TopXNotes touch for iOS that can be synced with TopXNotes for Mac.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seoul based developer, 9M Interactive today introduces Ultimate Tennis 1.5, their latest roleplaying game for iOS and Android devices. Ultimate Tennis is a new type of tennis simulation game that offers a refreshing mix between innovative mobile tennis gameplay and extensive RPG elements. The game offers stunning graphics, different game modes (including a PvP mode), and an exciting team-building feature that lets players put together a team of different characters with unique playing styles.

Seoul, Korea - 9M Interactive today is delighted to introduce Ultimate Tennis, an immersive new mobile tennis experience that comes with a new approach to the familiar mobile tennis game genre.

Tennis games for mobile have been offering the same concept for years, focusing mostly on offering finger-swiping gameplay and neglecting other aspects of the tennis experience.

The player can make use of a variety of special passes to outplay the opponent and can even switch between one-handed and two-handed controls providing a more dynamic gameplay experience.

A fun addition is the introduction of the team concept. Players can add new characters to their team, each character having its own unique playing style, giving the game more depth and adding to the playing time. However, Ultimate Tennis really distinguishes itself from the competition by offering the most extensive RPG element seen to date in a mobile tennis game. Players can improve, and expand their team members and their skills, upgrade items, and even change the entire wardrobe of each character they own. The possibilities are endless.

Ultimate Tennis features:
* Dynamic and thrilling finger-swiping gameplay, including various skill shots for more spectacular rallies
* Different game modes suited for beginners to advanced players and from a challenging single player campaign to PvP matchups
* The most detailed RPG menu in a mobile tennis game ever
* Strategic team-based game structure. Assemble different unique team members to make the most powerful team compositions
* Play with both men and women in your team, each with a unique playing style
* Enjoy the best graphics seen in a mobile tennis game so far

Play Ultimate Tennis on your own against the AI-controlled opponents or challenge friends or random strangers for a PvP matchup and see who best masters the controls or put together the most effective team.

Device Requirements:
*iOS version 7.0 or Android version 4.0
* File size 155MB

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK software developer, EchoMist today announces the up-and-coming release of FileTools, a new powerful and flexible new file wrangling application for OS X. FileTools aims to address problems encountered by anyone who has to manage large numbers of files with powerful but simple to use solutions. FileTools also allows you to send the location directly to their computer so that they can access it with a single click. FileTools will be available on the Mac App Store from 30/11/15.

Woking, United Kingdom - EchoMist today is pleased to announced the imminent release of FileTools, a new powerful and flexible new file wrangling application for OS X. FileTools will be available on the Mac App Store from 30/11/15.

FileTools aims to address problems encountered by anyone who has to manage large numbers of files with powerful but simple to use solutions. Among its many tools is the ability to store and share (across the network) locations of files and folders. Rather than describing a network location to a colleague, FileTools allows you to send the location directly to their computer so that they can access it with a single click (and keep it for use later).

The batch renamer can be programmed using a simple drag and drop paradigm and allows you to preview results before you commit. A wide selection of modules allow the user to use a variety of text processing and metadata based steps in their workflows. A watch directory system with a similar drag and drop design can perform a variety of tasks and is able to make decisions based on a variety of criteria so that different types of file, or files with different metadata tags can be handled differently.

Feature List:
* Store and share file locations. Search your stored files and add comments.
* Flexible batch renaming
* Powerful watch directories
* Intelligently merge directories
* Open archive and compressed files in a variety of formats
* Create archive and compressed files in a (smaller) range of formats
* Create directory listings as files or printouts
* Compare two similar folder structures to find (and optionally fix) differences
* Search for duplicate files within a folder structure
* Calculate checksums in a range of formats, for individual files or whole folders
* View and modify file metadata
* Hex editor for low-level file editing
* Split files into smaller chunks for transportation and reassemble them
* Access tools through a popup toolbox which can be opened with a keyboard shortcut
* Integrates with the operating system and other applications using services

System Requirements:
* FileTools requires OS X 10.9 or higher.

Pricing and Availability:
FileTools will be offered at the introductory price of GBP 7.99 / Euro 9.99 / $9.99 USD (Full Price: GBP14.99 / Euro19.99 / $19.99). It will be available available on the Mac App Store from 30/11/15.

LOL, I fixed the problem, but I can't remember how I did it. Even though I didn't have 5 computers listed as being authorized, that had something to do with it, as after I de-authorized all computers, and then authorized the computer I'm now using, I was finally able to get the music to drop down from the cloud. Sometimes I still have the issue where the iPod won't sync, and then I change USB ports on the computer and it will then sync. Yet, the USB where I was trying to get the sync works fine with a flash drive. So I wonder if moving the plug or cord while reconnecting allowed the sync. I've heard that the connector to the iPod can go bad, and maybe that is what is happening, but I can't prove it right now. I guess time will tell on that. I can't remember if there was something else I did. At least at this time I can download most of the time without changing USB's. I have to believe that it "is" the iPod itself. I haven't dropped it, but I use it every day and it's a couple of years old. This is all I can report.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. Yes, there is an Apple store here in town. Don't know if they can repair an iPod though. Once it quits, I'll take it in and see.

There are so many possible variables and culprits. One would almost have to be there with you to figure it out.

Can you take it to an Apple store?

No it doesn't. I've checked the boxes for my Music, pictures, and Podcasts. That's all I have to sync. I've tried authorizing my computer over and over and it tells me it's authorized. This is the only computer that is currently authorized. I've tried plugging the ipod into different USB's. The computer and itunes has been restarted numerous times. I thought I was going to get it to sync once tonight and then it only sync'd 11 songs of many albums, and a couple podcasts, and not even the most recent ones, before the sync shut down. I googled the problem, and got a page that said to partitioin my computer and install iTunes by itself in one of the partitioned areas. I don't see how that's going to work, or make any difference. I've run out of things to try. Can you suggest anything else? Connie

After the iPod is plugged in, on the left you should see it listed. Clicking on it will bring up other options. For each of the things you want to sync, you have to select the box. Clicking sync will then start syncing the content.

I bought a new computer from Amazon.com, and when it came it looked used, so I told Amazon and they sent me another, and this one looks new and set up like it was new. But now I'm having a problem syncing my Classic iPod. I can pull the podcasts up in iTunes, and the iPod will show that it's syncing, but if I look at the iPod page that shows how much is on the iPod, the short sync doesn't put anything on it. I couldn't tell if it was a problem with my iPod or the computer. So I hooked up my old computer and the iPod synced perfectly with no problems. The only thing it could be was the security suite, which was McAfee, so I uninstalled that, and installed Security Essentials, which was what I used on my old computer. Well the new Security Essentials came up as 360 Security. I tried shutting down everything I could in the 360 and still I can't get the iPod to sync. What do you suggest? Should I try to contact iTunes/Apple to see if they know the problem with that software?

If you are trying to sync a device with iTunes that has been synced with another iTunes library, it will ask if you want to delete what content is on the device and sync with the content in iTunes.

I hope some of you are still actively helping others, because I really need help. I've spent 4 hours trying to read and determine how to set up my syncing in iTunes.

I get message windows that are very confusing, i.e., asking me if I'm sure I want to delete everything on my iPod and sync with only the ones showing. No, I would prefer just adding on to what's on the iPod, but don't even know how to get the sync set up.

Ergonis Black Friday shopping - Save 25% on PopChar, Typinator, KeyCue - Published on 11/27/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ergonis Software announces a Black Friday promotion for their award-winning productivity tools PopChar, Typinator, and KeyCue. Headquartered in Perg, Austria, Ergonis Software develops ergonomic and intuitive software that boosts the productivity of Mac and PC users. Customers visiting the company's online store before December 1st 2015, can enter the coupon code "BlackFriday15A" during checkout to get a 25% discount.

Perg, Austria - It's that time of the year again, and Ergonis Software announces a Black Friday promotion for their award-winning productivity tools PopChar, Typinator, and KeyCue. Customers visiting the company's online store during the Black Friday weekend, i.e., before December 1st 2015, can enter the coupon code "BlackFriday15A" during checkout to get a 25% discount.

Most of today's fonts contain thousands of characters, many more than you can access from the keyboard. PopChar makes it easy to explore these fonts, search for characters by their names, find fonts that contain certain characters, collect your favorite characters, insert characters and HTML symbols, and more. Starting with PopChar 7, the new "Shape Finder" even allows you to simply draw the shape of a character on the screen to tell PopChar what you are looking for. With PopChar, you can also take a look at fonts from a designer's perspective - see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets. PopChar is available for Mac OS X and Windows.

Typinator is a powerful, yet elegantly simple solution that boosts your productivity by automating the process of inserting frequently used text and auto-correcting typing errors. Across all applications, it detects specific sequences of typed characters and automatically replaces them with text snippets, graphics, URLs, dates and special characters. Typinator comes with a list of built-in predefined sets, like autocorrection for English, German, and French, DOuble CApitals correction, Auto-Capitalize Sentences, Inline Calculation, Clipboard conversion, Subscripts, Superscript, and HTML snippets with over 100 abbreviations for elements of the HTML standard. Besides that, you can download many additional useful sets for free from the company's web site.

KeyCue is a tool for learning and remembering keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. Honestly though, how many shortcut keys do you know by heart? KeyCue helps you to use your Mac OS X applications more effectively by displaying a concise table of all currently available menu shortcuts. You no longer need to memorize and remember key combinations; just press the command key and KeyCue tells you what you want to know. Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and start working more efficiently.

Availability and Ordering:
Orders can be placed securely on the Ergonis Software online store. For information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers, see the company's web site.

Zvole, Czech Republic - 24U Software today announces version 4.0.1 of 24U Appearance OSAX. The scripting addition for Mac users allows AppleScript script writers to interact with users via dialogs, notifications, alerts, progress indicators, and floating messages without the need to use a complex development tool, such as Xcode.

Mindfulness, meditation and relaxation for kids: announcing Zen Studio - Published on 11/27/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-winning Paris based startup, Edoki Academy today introduces Zen Studio 1.0, their new educational app for iOS devices. Discover Zen studio, a unique soothing geometric finger painting app designed to help children from the age of 3 to relax and focus. It may be the simplest painting app ever published! What's more, a calm, soothing music algorithm accompanies every swipe of a finger making it a very zen experience and, it's free to download.

Paris, France - Award-winning startup, Edoki Academy today is thrilled to announce the release of Zen Studio 1.0 for iOS, a geometric finger painting app designed to help children relax and focus. What's more, each swipe of a finger produces a soothing music generated by a unique algorithm.

Edoki and Seven Academy, two educational app publishers based in Paris, London and Montreal, announced last month that they were merging to create even more educational digital contents for kids. Zen Studio is their first release under Edoki Academy, their new company name. It is the first app to combine a drawing activity with calming music to enable children from the age of 3 to concentrate.

"At its most basic, meditation gives young children the feeling of being quiet and still. It gives them time to breathe and imagine, and lets them know that it is okay to have feelings. In fact, through meditation children learn that it is okay to be whoever they are and feel whatever they feel." (Source: EOC Institue)

This intuitive drawing tool will allow children to produce an endless number of artistic creations in a supportive environment that encourages self-reflection. Should kids wish to learn how to create their favorite animals and characters, they will love the Tutorial Mode which features 60 guided projects!

Zen Studio was designed with all children in mind. The choice of 3 different grid sizes caters for children with varying levels of fine motor skills. More than a drawing app, it is also an introduction to geometry and symmetry. The triangle-based canvases are an intuitive way for children to realize that if they color 4 triangles they get a square! Also, Edoki Academy's Montessori experts have designed a set of symmetry tutorials, one of which is available in the free version.

A very detailed printable "Parents and Teachers Handbook" includes information on mindfulness, meditation, play, geometry and symmetry. A valuable tool for all parents and teachers!

Language Support:
* Zen Studio supports 18 languages

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 85.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Zen Studio 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. The free version includes up to 8 canvases, a 14-color palette and 9 tutorials. The complete version can be purchased for only $1.99 (USD) and includes more than 60 tutorials and an unlimited number of user-profiles and canvases. For more information, please contact Valerie Touze.

DEVONthink 2.8.8 improves Tinderbox integration and more - Published on 12/01/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. No other document management app on the Mac gives its users so much flexibility and control over their data. DEVONthink 2.8.8 improves integration with Eastgate's Tinderbox and makes working with PDFs more comfortable. All editions fix a number of issues, e.g. with OS X El Capitan. The updates are free and recommended for all users.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. The update of DEVONthink and DEVONnote to version 2.8.8 comes right in time for the Eastgate's release of Tinderbox 6.4. Users can now paste multiple copied notes from Tinderbox to DEVONthink 2.8.8 including tags. They become plain or rich text notes depending on the pasted contents. Backlinks make navigating back and forth between the two applications easy.

DEVONthink 2.8.8 also improves handling of PDF documents. DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office reuse existing groups when importing contacts. Created groups appear immediately in the recent destinations. For bookmarks and clicked links DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office 2.8.8 use downloaded offline archives when there's no internet connection. DEVONthink Pro Office's built-in web server now lets also Firefox display PDFs. This makes it a lot more comfortable to use e.g. from Windows PCs. The update also fixes a number of issues, some of them related to OS X El Capitan. DEVONnote received an update to version 2.8.8, too, with better VoiceOver support and bug fixes.

"Like DEVONthink, Tinderbox is a software for true infoworkers. And our software was always about workflow and interoperability. No wonder many of customers use multiple applications for their work and transfer data from one to the other. This update makes it even easier for those running Tinderbox alongside DEVONthink," comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

Pricing and Availability:
All editions of DEVONthink as well as DEVONnote require an Intel-based Mac and OS X 10.8.5 or later (in the App Store: OS X 10.9 or later). They can be downloaded from www.devontechnologies.com and be test-driven for free before they need to be properly licensed. DEVONthink Personal and DEVONnote are also available in the App Store; DEVONthink can be purchased in bundles with DEVONagent for an attractive bundle price in DEVONtechnologies' online shop.

* DEVONthink Pro Office: US $149.95
* DEVONthink Pro: US $79.95

Patina Fills Need for Simple Drawing App for Mac - Published on 12/02/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Atek, Inc. today introduces Patina 1.0, a beautiful and simple drawing application for Mac OS X. Patina echoes the simplicity of Microsoft Paint, but goes goes further with a more visually appealing interface and additional functionality. This app sports a modern and slick appearance, with large tool buttons and color controls. Basic operations, such as drawing and manipulating shapes, setting and changing colors, moving and resizing objects, and doing annotations, are all very straightforward.

Fountain Valley, California - Mac users in search of a simple drawing app now have an appealing option in a polished but low cost new program called Patina. Developed by a California company called Atek, Patina echoes the simplicity of Microsoft Paint, the widely used go-to drawing tool for generations of Windows users.

Patina sports a modern and slick appearance, with large tool buttons and color controls. Although more stylish in appearance than Paint, Patina shares the simple feel of Microsoft's popular app. Basic operations, such as drawing and manipulating shapes, setting and changing colors, moving and resizing objects, and doing annotations, are all very straightforward.

Patina's functionality surpasses that of Paint in a number of ways. For example, objects can be rotated at any angle rather than being limited to specific degrees of rotation. Other enhanced features include transparent image saving and a convenient slider for controlling a variety of app functions, such as tool stroke thickness and text font size.

According to Atek company president Dan Rothman, "Many people who have switched over from Windows to Mac love Apple hardware and software but miss Microsoft Paint for doing simple drawings. We evaluated drawing apps for Mac that were currently available and found they were either unrefined open source programs or complex vector applications for designers and artists. There were no OS X apps that could match the user-friendliness of Paint. We aimed to fill that void with Patina."

Rothman added: "With all kinds of people now using Apple computers, unlike in the past when most users were design professionals, the time is right for there to be a simple, user-friendly drawing app for all types of Mac users to enjoy, including adults, students, and children."

Patina, which is currently offered for free on promotion in the Mac App Store through December 9, 2015, opens with a tutorial screen that points out the main features of the app and makes it easy to start using it.

Supported Languages:
* English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later
* 9.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Patina 1.0, which is optimized for Retina Display, is available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Graphics & Design category for $2.99 USD (free on promotion through December 9, 2015 only).

Announcing the New LinkedIn Mobile App - Published on 12/02/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based LinkedIn today announced its new mobile app is now available globally. The new app is built from scratch and offers a mobile experience that is more intuitive, smarter and dramatically simplifies the LinkedIn experience. LinkedIn mobile makes it as easy as possible for you to connect to your professional network & stay informed about the conversations and content most relevant to you. The app is now streamlined into five core areas: Home, Me, My Network, Messaging, and Search.

Mountain View, California - Today, LinkedIn announced its new mobile app is now available globally. The new app is built from scratch and offers a mobile experience that is more intuitive, smarter and dramatically simplifies the LinkedIn experience. Knowing that time is scarce, the new app makes it as easy as possible for you to connect to your professional network and stay informed about the conversations and content most relevant to you.

The app is now streamlined into five core areas - Home, Me, My Network, Messaging, and Search.

Home (Your Feed) is content from your network to help with your professional day. It's based on content that is most relevant for your industry, function, and skills combined with what conversations and content you care about. For the first time, as part of a lightweight onboarding process, you also get to select what content you are interested in, and over time you can also unfollow things that are less valuable to you.

Me represents your professional brand. This is where you can see all things about you - who's viewed your profile, who is commenting on, or sharing your posts. It also offers the most intuitive way of updating your profile that we have ever had, so you can easily spruce up your professional profile to keep things fresh.

Messaging abandons email in favor of a more casual way to stay in touch, allowing you to initiate quicker conversations in a lighter-weight interface. This makes it easy for you to ping someone in your network on a quick question or continue a conversation as you would in real-life.

My Network is a daily briefing of what's happening in your professional network, so you can see in seconds people you may know, new posts from your network and suggestions to keep connected. For example, it will offer prompts to say congrats to a connection celebrating a new role or work anniversary, or send a message to someone in your network when they have written a post on LinkedIn.

By syncing your calendar it will also help you get smart for your next meeting. You'll be prompted to look at the profile of the person you are meeting with that day with details on what shared connections or shared interests you have. This way you can avoid the small talk and have a meaningful conversation.

Search is now 300% faster, and a lot smarter, so you can quickly find people, jobs and groups you're looking for. For example, search for jobs with the title "Marketing" and get results before you even finish typing.

The new app also fully realizes LinkedIn's new multi-app strategy by bringing more focus to the main flagship app. And with the new app launcher feature, it is incredibly seamless to launch into other LinkedIn apps for dedicated and deeper experiences, like Pulse, Groups, Job Search, etc.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 90.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
LinkedIn 9.0.0 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Social Networking category. There are also versions Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry phone available.

Crunding becomes Impala Studios - Published on 12/02/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The App developer Crunding has changed its name to Impala Studios and merged a number of development branches into one. The developer's portfolio now accounts for the apps Flight +, Flight Companion, Reader for Craigslist, Vegas Slots, Calculator HD, Alarm Clock 4 Free, Alarm Clock HD and Video Tube. With combined downloads upwards of 65 million, they represent some of the most popular content browsing and utility apps in the Amazon, Google and Apple App Stores.

Haarlem, Netherlands - The App developer Crunding, today is proud to announce it has changed its name to Impala Studios and merged a number of development branches into one. The developer's portfolio now accounts for the apps Flight +, Flight Companion, Reader for Craigslist, Vegas Slots, Calculator HD, Alarm Clock 4 Free, Alarm Clock HD and Video Tube. The apps, with combined downloads upwards of 65 million, represent some of the most popular content browsing and utility apps in the Amazon, Google and Apple App stores.

Until now, these apps had been released by branches of Crunding BV, an app building company based in the Netherlands. The brands had been introduced to the public separately, so it will be surprising to some that they all belong to the same company. Impala Studios will continue to support and develop the products, providing a recognisable brand for users and advertisers.

Background:
The original developer accounts: FCSS, IAFTT, The Alarm Clock Company, Vegas Casinos, Guies and YY Music Video were set up to represent different groups of products and were developed by Crunding. Crunding was set up in 2009 and will now continue as Impala Studios. As the mobile app market matures, it is becoming more important to form a recognisable brand. Having a single brand will have the dual benefit of letting users communicate with one, trustworthy partner whilst forming a large publisher that is of interest to business partners.

Why are these apps being merged into Impala Studios? "We have a strong focus on utility apps and content browsing through a touch interface," explained Frank List, CTO at Impala Studios. "Video Tube, Reader for Craigslist and IAFTT's flight apps for example, make browsing a huge amount of data a pleasant experience on a tablet or a phone. These apps fit together well, just like our utility apps and there is considerable synergy on a technical level too, in developer knowledge and server infrastructure. Most of all we think that our users and business partners will associate more strongly with Impala Studios than the somewhat impersonal Crunding branches."

What will change? "In the direct future, not much will change. Impala Studios will continue to offer the Apps in Free and Ad-Free editions and we will continue to support the apps," said Peter Schotvanger, CCO at Impala Studios. "Our advertising partners will have more space to advertise and Impala Studios will be more recognisable as a company that continues to innovate in non-intrusive advertising. For users some things will improve: Impala Studios believes in listening to user experiences and adapting our products regularly so there will be more updates. We will keep improving the apps according to users' wishes; our development teams are passionate about providing users a beautiful, engaging experience."

What else does Impala Studios have in store? "Impala Studios will soon include even more apps," commented Frank List. "We can't announce too much yet, but we will soon expand the portfolio with a number of utility apps that we think fit very well with our utility apps - I think people will be surprised by how many users are already served by our apps."

App Portfolio:
Flight + and Flight Companion: The apps for iOS and Android respectively, keep track of your flights and trips to help you catch your flight, see delays and transfer easily. The app uses a real-time database with all of the world's flights and airports. These apps used to be released under the IAFTT branch.

Reader for Craigslist: Regular visitors of the classified ad site Craigslist will know how hard it is to use on a tablet or a phone. We developed a mobile reader that gives you the same content, but with a compelling, easy to use touch interface. Reader for Craigslist was developed under the FCSS branch.

Vegas Slots: A multi-platform slot machine, running on any iOS and Android device including Amazon Underground and Apple TV. This was developed and maintained by Vegas Slots developer account.

Calculator HD: An old fashioned desktop calculator for the iPad, complete with material buttons and a paper history tape. The app was developed by Guies.

Alarm Clock 4 Free and Alarm Clock HD: Full-featured Alarm Clocks with customizable interface and alarms and integrated weather. Alarm Clock HD also includes News and Twitter integration whilst Alarm Clock 4 Free has a large number of themes to choose from. Alarm Clock HD is the most popular alarm clock next to Apple's pre-installed Clock and is also available for Android and in the Amazon Underground store. Alarm Clock 4 Free is regularly at the top of search results and the utility category in the App store. The apps were developed by the Alarm Clock Company.

Video Tube: A video viewing app that was originally developed as a YouTube viewer for iOS - the app now includes Dailymotion and Vimeo content and is available on iOS and Android. Previously it was developed by YY Music Video.

Planet Lettra 2.0 - A quirky educational app for iPad and iPhone - Published on 12/02/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Studio Goojaji today released version 2.0 of its quirky word-building app Planet Lettra for iPad and iPhone. Players build words by dragging letter-filled "smart" bubbles and bumping them together and then feed them to silly creatures on the planet surface. Planet Lettra is an environment for experimenting with letters that gently guides children in the spelling of real words rather than simply rewarding them for success in set spelling-related tasks.

Shawinigan-Sud, Canada - Studio Goojaji today released version 2.0 of its quirky word-building app Planet Lettra for iPad(R) and iPhone(R). In Planet Lettra, users build words by dragging letter-filled bubbles found in the sky above Lettra and bumping them together. Creatures on the planet surface slurp up bubbles dragged near them and react to these snacks by dressing up, playing a tune, spitting out letters or occasionally burping. Unlike other spelling apps, Planet Lettra is an environment for experimenting with letters and word building that gently guides children in the spelling of real words rather than simply rewarding them for success in set spelling-related tasks.

The bubbles are "smart" letter blocks; when a single bubble is bumped into another, they only combine if the result is found at the start of a word Lettra "knows", the number of which the user controls. Bubbles can also be combined two at a time, which lets users build and then hear anything they want, including funny, nonsense words. "The idea for Planet Lettra came from watching my kids play with text-to-speech on our computer," explained Studio Goojaji founder Greg McDonald. "They loved hearing the computer read words, real and nonsense, but struggled using a keyboard. Planet Lettra lets kids enjoy the fun of the computer voice and gain exposure to the spelling of real words without the frustration of hunt-and-peck typing."

The app was first released in May 2015. The upgrades in this new version were suggested by early "travellers" to Planet Lettra and they include adding an all-slurping Glutton creature, allowing players to put the creatures to sleep and to change language in the app (rather than in device Settings). We've also added new costumes for the creatures and added Spanish language support to the app in this major update.

Planet Lettra Features:
* Players can switch between play in English, Spanish and French
* 100,000 words are in the full list in each playable language
* Creature costumes and tunes change from word to word, so continued play brings new surprises
* An early-reader-friendly narrated video "guided tour" is included with the app rather than text-based help
* No looping music, scoring, levels, timers, buzzers, in-app purchases, advertising or external links

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* 114 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Planet Lettra 2.0 is available on the App Store for just USD $1.99 / CAD $2.29 / GBP 1.49 / Euro 1,99. Planet Lettra is designed for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Planet Lettra requires iOS 8.0 or newer. A limited number of Promotional Codes are available to members of the media. Journalists interested in receiving one should contact Greg McDonald, Founder and Top Jaji. Two screenshots and the app icon are available for download.

Cairn App Launched - Find Cell Coverage in the Wilderness - Published on 12/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cairn, the mobile app that enables people to stay in touch while enjoying the outdoors, announced the launch of their new iOS app today. The first of its kind, Cairn displays spots with cell coverage, keeps emergency contacts up to date, and tracks the user's location, enabling rescuers to find lost or injured users faster. Developed by a professional alpinist and former Air Force survival instructor, this free app was born of a desire to make adventuring outdoors safer for everyone.

Seattle, Washington - Cairn, the mobile app that enables people to stay in touch while enjoying the outdoors, announced the launch of their new iOS app today. The first of its kind, Cairn displays spots with cell coverage, keeps emergency contacts up to date, and tracks the user's location, enabling rescuers to find lost or injured users faster.

Developed by a professional alpinist and former Air Force survival instructor, this free app was born of a desire to make adventuring outdoors safer for everyone. "Connectivity is a major limitation of tech in the outdoors," said Ali Alami, co-founder of Cairn. "We at Cairn are working to overcome that."

Cairn users are building a crowdsourced coverage map of the wilderness. Since the beta launch of Cairn earlier this year, users have collected over 300,000 independent data points in ten states, seven national parks, and along the entire 2650-mile Pacific Crest Trail.

"Hikers and climbers have always been exceptionally helpful to fellow adventurers in need," said Tove Martin, co-founder of Cairn. "And with Cairn they're continuing the same tradition of assistance, only now they're doing it digitally. It's been incredible to see the enthusiasm with which our beta testers have trailblazed unmapped areas."

The Cairn app features:
* An innovative way to help fellow outdoor enthusiasts: Collect and share points of cell phone coverage
* A better way to keep emergency contacts updated: Users tell emergency contacts where they're headed with just a few taps: If a user doesn't check in on time, Cairn sends a detailed map of the user's tracks
* Cell coverage data in remote areas: Data is broken down by carrier so users know where they can send an 'I'm OK' message or find a signal to call for help

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 9.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cairn 1.0.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category.

Life of Politician - Simulator Game Indiegogo Campaign Now Underway - Published on 12/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Phoenix Studio announces their Indiegogo campaign to fund the development and release of Life of Politician - Simulator Game for iOS and Android devices. Now under way, Life of Politician will offer a virtual social state where players will take on the role of citizens in the simulator's universe. The game is never a simple win or lose proposition. All acts by players will have an effect on the social state as a whole, with the ending affected by all of the participants' decisions.

Minsk, Belarus - Phoenix Studio is happy to announce their Indiegogo campaign to fund the development and release of Life of Politician - Simulator Game for iOS and Android devices. Life of Politician is a virtual social state in which each player is a citizen of the simulator's universe. All acts by a single player will have a varying effect on all players in the game. Everything depends on the decisions put into play by the participants.

Life of Politician is not a simple win or lose proposition. The aim of the game is to work up the social ladder from a common office worker, all the way up to the top level of President. Games can have any of several endings, all affected by events from outside forces. While results are impossible to predict, players will find that they can affect their probability.

Players will begin the game at the lowest rung of the career ladder: Office Worker. Make the correct decisions to climb up the ranks. As they raise in the ranks, players will be forced to resolve the issues facing them at the current level. For example, as a Party Leader, the aim is to bring people together for a common goal. Prime Ministers are tasked with offering solutions of issues on a global scale. Players who take on the role of a Minister will be faced with national issues of great importance, and will be forced to solve legislative questions. Ministers have a great impact on the state of the game. The higher the rung on the career ladder, the more authority and responsibility that are placed on a player's shoulders.

"When we began laying the groundwork for the Life of Politician game, we knew we wanted to make the game a non-linear experience," shared Phoenix Studio CEO Pavel Shauchenka. "The game is designed to be unpredictable, just like real life. While you can influence the outcome of the game, you cannot control it."

The ultimate goal for players in the game is to reach level 10 and become President. In order to reach the top rung, they'll need to earn the respect of the populace, which is directly affected by the decisions made in the game. Security is a must in the game, so the purchase of an armored car to protect against attacks is a wise purchase. However, be careful, as such a purchase is bound to upset some of the populace, due to the fact it costs more than most people earn in a year!

While a player might start out living in a dormitory, it quickly becomes important to move up to a better form of shelter. A high-ranking official may wish to purchase a mansion, with included 24-hour surveillance. This will help protect the player from the greedy and evil members of the populace who are out to do harm to the President. Heads of State are always at risk of attack, but in a mansion, they can at least feel safe while resting in their home.

Life of Politician will bring a non-linear gaming experience to all who enter the game, with all players contributing to the development of the game's universe, it is impossible to predict the end. Multiple playing sessions will result in multiple endings, all affected by the decisions made by the players involved in the session.

Financing the Game:
Phoenix Studio is turning to Indiegogo to crowd fund the game, and is looking for a total investment of at least $15,000 USD. This is the amount the company needs to create the game, hire developers and graphic artists, and set up and maintain servers with enough capacity to supply an entertaining gaming experience to players around the globe, including localization for 15 different languages.

Supergoals:
In the happy event Phoenix Studio is able to raise more than the required $15,000, there will be a number of stretch goals that can be met:
* Raise $18,000: 3D Models will be included in the game
* Raise $23,000: A web version of the game will be launched
* Raise $27,000: Version will be launched for Mac and Windows

The launch of Life of Politician - Simulator Game depends on enough players pledging the needed funds to carry the game's development forward. Various pledge levels are available, from $1, which will ensure the receipt of emails informing of the games progress in development, all the way up to $500, which is the "Notification" pledge level. This level guarantees the donor will receive a promotional code for domestic in-app purchases for $500, the donor's hand-drawn image will be included in the game, they'll receive a branded T-Shirt, and more!

Jack Helps People Rediscover the Pleasure and Value of Time - Published on 12/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jack 45 today announces You have a jack 1.0.6, the mobile messaging platform for iOS & Android. Designed to help users rediscover the pleasure and value of time, this app allows users to send a message to anyone and specify when the recipient will be able to read the message. While the message is delivered instantly, it remains locked until the specified delay has elapsed. The combination of instant notification and delayed delivery creates excitement, expectation and emotion for the recipient.

Lasne, Belgium - Jack 45 SA ("Jack 45") today is thrilled to announce the international launch of "Jack," the mobile messaging platform designed to help users rediscover the pleasure and value of time. Jack, available for both iOS and Android, allows users to send a message (video, photo, audio and/or text) to anyone - friends, family, colleagues, etc. - and specify precisely when the recipient will be able to read the message. While the message is delivered instantly, it remains locked until the specified delay has elapsed.

The combination of instant notification and delayed delivery creates excitement (instant notification), expectation and emotion (waiting for the delivery) for the recipient. As an analogy, just think of how children react when seeing the gifts under the Christmas tree knowing that they have to wait before they can open them; the wait becomes as exciting as the gift itself.

"Jack is a new communication paradigm, designed to help people rediscover the pleasure of waiting. A message sent via Jack has a double impact on the recipient: first when recipients receive the message, and then later, when they get to open it", says Jack Abrams, founder of Jack 45. "I created Jack because I wanted to find a way to communicate in a more personal and emotional way with my family and friends. I then realised that this mechanism is very powerful and can prove interesting in a lot of different situations, both personal and professional. I call this concept 'Time is Emotion'."

Whether used for casual, time-sensitive messages (e.g. birthdays, anniversaries, graduations), coaching communications (e.g. from the captain to the team, the mentor to the student), lifestyle reminders (e.g. reminder to exercise regularly, to continue not to smoke), or simply to recall happy memories (e.g. relive a stunning sunset), Jack provides a way "to say the right thing, to the right person, at the right time."

Brands too can use Jack to communicate effectively with their customers about new product launches and events. "Studies have shown that people are much more likely to remember something if they had an emotional response to it," says Edwin Hermans, CTO of Jack 45. "A message sent via Jack occupies a spot in the most important media there is: the brain."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.1 or later
* 16.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
You have a jack 1.0.6 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Social Networking category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

3D Endless Runner Game - Puppies Out by Zatun is Cute and Addictive - Published on 12/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Puppies Out 1.1 by Zatun is an endless runner game where users must help a pack of legendary puppies avoid tough obstacles, collect cool power-ups, and explore an array of fantasy worlds as they continuously race across a 3D landscape. Early mission levels are fairly easy, but become increasingly challenging and more difficult as the game progresses. The new free app features stunning graphics and animation, and is available from both the App Store and Google Play.

Gujarat, India - While endless runner games have been around for a few years, once in a very long time a new app arrives on the scene that is so cute, original and addictive, that it's virtually impossible to put down. And the latest example of this rare and special breed of endless runner games is Puppies Out by Zatun.

Available for both iOS and Android at no cost, Puppies out involves - as one might expect - a pack of legendary puppies who live in a happy fantasy world where running (and running and running) is the only way to survive. To that end, the puppies must avoid tough obstacles (like cars), collect cool power-ups (like life-saving silver bones), and explore an array of fantasy worlds as they race across a 3D landscape comprised of residential areas, gardens, bridges, construction areas and parks.

Speaking of the 3D landscape: Puppies Out features outstanding, high quality graphics and extremely smooth animation, which is not something that all 3D endless runner games can claim. What's more, the vivid color scheme compliments the game perfectly, and adds a cute, playful look and feel.

Gamers who are particularly adept at keeping their puppy out of harm's way are rewarded with extra lives, and they can compete against friends via the Leaderboard. Early mission levels are fairly easy, but become increasingly challenging and more difficult as the game progresses.

There are 21 cute puppies in total to choose from - with names like Buddy Lab, Rocky, Sir Beagle, Posh Pup, Super Hero, Bandit, Valentine and more. Users can also personalize and customize their favorite puppy, or switch puppies and experience a new game.

"With Puppies Out, every level is an adventure and every mission is a discovery," commented Abhinav Chokhavatia of Zatun. "It's a fun, exciting experience for kids and adults - the puppies are ready and waiting, all that users have to do is bring them to life and never stop running!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 103 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Puppies Out 1.1, the cute, original and addictive new 3D endless runner game, is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

J&C Works LLC today introduces The Animals' Carols 1.0, an exquisite new music app for iOS, Android and Amazon devices. The Animals' Carols is the world's first app in which the Animals present at the Birth of Jesus tell us their own story in their own voice through gorgeous carols, which are fully orchestrated and sung by a choir and children, and set to amazing poems by Jules Cashford. Among this enchanting cast of characters are the lamb, the donkey, the clay birds, and many others.

Albany, New Jersey - Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and all other family members who want to introduce children to the Birth of Jesus - in a joyful and delightful new way - can now download the exquisite new app The Animals Carols by Jules Cashford and Carol Ann de Barros Groberg of J&C Works LLC. The app is available from Google Play, Amazon, and Apple Store.

The Animals Carols is the world's first app in which the animals present at the Birth of Jesus tell us their story through their own voices - in gorgeous carols that are fully orchestrated and sung by a choir and are set to amazing poems by Jules Cashford.

Among this enchanting cast of characters are the lamb, the donkey, the clay birds, and many others - many of whom were witnesses to the Birthday of the Baby Jesus in the manger.

As well as the poetry, music and singing of the Animal Carols - with children's voices joining in with a professional choir - this app features stunning illustrations with on-screen interactions, which are enhanced by 3D gyroscopic effects. It adds a whole new visual dimension that invites children to participate in this very special Birthday..

The carols included in the app were originally intended as the first carols for children since, as children, we make many of our earliest explorations through animals who are close to us - such as our cats and dogs and teddy bears - which allows us to open our hearts to them, as well as learn from them. The authors hope that the carols in this new app will create a glorious, unequaled experience for children and their families. For the first time, the Animals present at the manger tell their own story in their own voice of the day that Jesus was born.

New App Recruit Me Set to Change the Face of Temporary Recruitment - Published on 12/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Designed to change the face of temporary recruitment, Recruit Me 1.0 innovatively resolves the age-old pain and suffering experienced by both employers and job seekers by enabling both parties to connect directly and bypass costly and inefficient temporary recruitment agencies. It's entirely possible for an employer to find suitable temporary help in a matter of minutes - and for a very low cost. The revolutionary new no-cost app is available now for iPhone, iPad and Android.

Surrey, England - While employers who need temporary help and job seekers looking for a contract or project-based opportunity have different needs, there's a singular, unifying goal that brings an overwhelming number of them together: they want to liberate themselves from having to deal with costly and inefficient temporary recruitment agencies. And enabling them to achieve this goal is what the revolutionary new no-cost app Recruit Me is all about.

Designed to change the face of temporary recruitment, Recruit Me innovatively resolves the age-old pain and suffering experienced by both employers and job seekers. Here's how:

Employers start by creating a company profile, which includes their address, business type and a photo. Next, they post their job by adding the job title, required skills, job description, date of work, type of work, pay, and location. From there, they automatically receive a list of suitable job seekers. They can also see which job seekers have "liked" a posted job and message them once a match is made.

However, even more impressive than Recruit Me's ease, simplicity and automatic matching capacity is the cost. Or rather, the lack of cost. That's because 3 job postings are immediately available at no-cost, while additional job postings are a mere GBP1 ($1 in the US) each in bundles of 5, 10 and 20. And since bundles arrive with yet more bonus job postings (the larger the bundle, the bigger the bonus), the effective cost per job posting is even lower.

What's more, unlike temporary recruitment agencies that bill employers for every hour that a temporary employee works (e.g. 10% or some other constant amount), or that charge a one-time flat rate that starts in the hundreds but can easily go into the thousands of dollars, with Recruit Me there are no additional costs of any kind. In this way, it's entirely possible for an employer to find suitable temporary help in a matter of minutes - and for a very low cost.

At the same time, Recruit Me is also very employee-friendly. At no-cost, Job seekers can post an ad that notes their location, the dates that they're available for work, and how far they're willing to travel. They can also conduct a search anytime to find potential opportunities based on their skills and location. And as noted above, they can "like" a job posting, or they can reach out and contact an employer directly where a mutual "like" has occurred.

"Whether employers and job seekers are looking to connect regarding temporary opportunities, project-based assignments or contracts of any length - from a few hours, days or weeks, to a few months and longer - Recruit Me brings them together in a totally new and simplified way," commented Founder Max Bruffell. "Finally, there's a solution that helps both parties save time, money and stress - so they can efficiently focus on solving their goals, instead of having to depend on temporary recruitment agencies to do it for them".

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 17.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Recruit Me 1.0, the revolutionary new app that is set to change the face of temporary recruitment, is Free and available through the UK App Store in the Business category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Pilcrow AG released Ad Blocker for iOS with massive Filter and Whitelist - Published on 12/07/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pilcrow AG today introduces Peace of Mind 1.0, their new app utility developed for iOS devices. Peace of Mind is an Ad Blocker that prevents the download of unwanted streaming media and also prevents private data being sent to web pages. With an advanced filter set that consists of more than 45,000 rules, Peace of Mind features a media filter and privacy protection as part of the app. The Peace of Mind Ad Blocker comes with a 4 button setup process and an additional whitelist.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Pilcrow AG today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Peace of Mind, an Ad Blocker for iOS devices with an advanced filter set that consists of more than 45,000 rules. Furthermore a media filter and privacy protection are part of this app, which prevent the download of unwanted streaming media and also prevent private data being sent to web pages.

"While ads are just clicked away when using a regular computer with a big screen, they can be a real annoyance on a mobile devices. This is mainly for 2 reasons: the display is small enough already and doesn't leave much room for additional content, and ads also consume significant bandwidth, slowing down the whole process. Setting aside the increased loading time caused by ads, everybody without a flat rate is paying for ads that have never been asked for." explains Christian Schaffner, General Manager of Pilcrow AG.

The Peace of Mind Ad Blocker comes with a 4 button setup process and an additional whitelist. The whitelist allows to grant access for certain wbesites and service, exluding them from the filters that are set. This combination allows a very detailled tweaking and optimization of the ad and content blocker.

Features:
* Ad Blocker with advanced filter set, consisting of more than 45'000 rules
* Media blocker to prevent unwanted streams from beind loaded
* Privacy blocker to prevent web pages from storing privtae information
* User definable whitelist to allow access for certain sites
* Adjustable strength fo the pre-set filters

"It is a common thing for many ad blockers to sell spots on predefined, un-modifiable whitelists to allow ceretain companies to bypass ad blockers. While this allows to sell the exact tool twice, it feels to many customers like they have been betrayed. I fact, they are betrayed since they paid for a service that is partially disabled afterwards because somebody else is paying more. We call Peace of Mind an 'Ad and Content Blocker', and that's what it is, nothing more and nothing less. No extras, no backdoors, for nobody." as Christian Schaffner clearly states.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, iPad mini and iPad Pro
* Requires iOS 9.0 or later
* 0.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Peace of Mind 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

TripWire for Groupon - Triggers Groupon offers at user's location - Published on 12/07/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rediscover what it feels like to be amazed. GeekGaps.com introduces Trip Wire for Groupon for iOS, a free mobile app that makes saving money effortless by triggering Groupon offers at user's current location. When the user is physically within 50 meters and has "stepped on" or driven nearby a business that has a local Groupon offer, the app plays a sound notification and delivers the user directly to that Groupon offer page. nstall the app, run it in the background, and forget about it.

Chicago, Illinois - GeekGaps.com is proud to announce the release of Trip Wire for Groupon 1.26(7) for iOS, a free mobile app that makes saving money effortless by triggering Groupon offers at user's current location. When the user is physically within 50 meters and has "stepped on" or driven nearby a business that has a local Groupon offer, the app plays a sound notification and delivers the user directly to that Groupon offer page.

Rediscover what it feels like to be amazed. Enjoy Groupon the way it should work and forget about planning ahead; all the user has to do is Trip an invisible Wire. Install the app, run it in the background, and forget about it. The app makes saving money effortless.

Mina Dillard, artistic director, at GeekGaps.com says, "I gave up searching for Groupons about 2 years ago because it wasted so much time. The constant emails were annoying and I realized local offers weren't usually local. Using Groupon's mobile app and web site, I discovered it was a scroller's black hole and a time sucker. It was easy to get lost and forget what I was looking for in the first place. "

She adds, "TripWire is a dream. I can be going to a business where my intention is to pay full price for that product or service and if there is a Groupon that I didn't know about that might save me 50-70%, it will chime on my phone and I can use it immediately. In the past, I have been out to restaurants and spent hundreds of dollars only for my friend to tell me the next day there was a 70% Groupon for that restaurant. That's irritating."

With TripWire for Groupon, it is up to the user if they wish to view the full offer details and purchase the bargain. To help eliminate extra noise (defined as a deal the user isn't interested in), the user may choose to silence that offer's notification for up to 6 months. TripWire is also beneficial while traveling. TripWire for Groupon displays all local Groupon offers in each country's native language where Groupon has a presence. For participating countries visit GeekGaps.com.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.3 or later
* 4.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Trip Wire for Groupon 1.26(7) is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. The Android version is currently in beta and available at GeekGaps.com's website prior to its release to the Google Play Store.

Houston, Texas - Holiday Bells, the favorite Christmas handbells app for iPhone and iPad, is now available for Apple TV. Holiday Bells has been on iOS since 2008, offering users "a fun and interactive Christmas musical experience" by playing their favorite holiday songs on the handbells.

Danish developer, Serious Games Interactive today introduces Materials Hunter 1.0, a free casual puzzle game developed for iOS and Android devices. In Materials Hunter, you travel through history with two friends - Max and Lily, helping a small community evolve by crafting new technologies, by merging different materials.

Crowdsource & Display Pics Anytime, Anywhere with PhotoWall+ for AppleTV - Published on 12/07/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Boinx Software's PhotoWall+ is ready to hit the 2015 holiday party circuit. Instantly share and display photos taken on the spot at parties, classrooms, trade shows, weddings and more with new companion apps for tvOS and iOS. Feeds pictures taken with the PhotoWall+ Camera iOS app directly to a monitor connected to an Apple TV 4. All the pictures are collected and stored on PhotoWall+, and can be accessed via the iCloud. Launching Tuesday, December 8th.

Puchheim, Germany - As technophiles around the world begin setting up the latest generation Apple TV, PhotoWall+ by Boinx Software becomes one of the first apps ready for tvOS. Using PhotoWall+ for tvOS with the companion iOS app PhotoWall+ Camera, event organizers and party hosts can instantly transform any environment, from raging party to corporate conference, into a photo sharing experience. Tapping into the capabilities of the brand new Apple TV App Store, PhotoWall+ feeds pictures taken with the PhotoWall+ Camera iOS app directly to a monitor connected to an Apple TV 4. All the pictures are collected and stored on PhotoWall+, and can be accessed via the iCloud.

"When Apple announced the new Apple TV would have third party apps, we got very excited," says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx Software. "This new platform is ideal for a photo wall app and we already had a blueprint to work from. Because tvOS is very similar to iOS, it was not too hard to take what we had developed for PartySnapper and derive the new PhotoWall+ app from it."

For those who are curious about the relationship between PartySnapper on iOS and PhotoWall+ on the Apple TV, check out the blog post below.

Where can you use PhotoWall+?
PhotoWall+ is the perfect way to keep guests engaged at just about any gathering, be it social or even corporate. Guests will love being able to share photos instantly with their fellow companions, and it's a great way to bring an element of fun to more formal settings. PhotoWall+ can be used in a wide variety of scenarios, including:

* Weddings! An app basically invented for weddings, PhotoWall+ is the best way to showcase a wedding right as it's happening. Let guests capture every moment of the big day, then show them throughout the evening. The display of photos will add an engaging and fun visual element to a day you'll never forget.

* And on that note...any party you can think of. Birthday parties, office parties, Halloween, New Year's Eve - you name it. With PhotoPlus, partiers can show off every crazy moment of the night.

* Food and drink establishments. Many bars, clubs and restaurants have monitors set up; why not let patrons contribute to the visuals? Whether it's sharing pictures of people breaking it down on the dancefloor, shots of a delicious meal, or even a selfie, customers will love being able to show off the fun they're having.

* Trade shows and office buildings. Just because it's business doesn't mean you can't have some fun with it! Professionals attending a conference or trade show can share pictures they snap right from the expo hall floor, showing off the latest discoveries. And what better way to build workplace camaraderie than by showcasing fun moments at the office for all to see?

* Tracking progress in the classroom. Kids love to show off their work and get recognized by their peers. PhotoWall+ provides the perfect platform for sharing and discussing work, providing constructive feedback, tracking progress and rewarding achievements. Plus, it gives students a chance to get their hands on their favorite techie devices - now what kid wouldn't love that?

* Anything you can imagine. There really are no limits to how and where PhotoWall+ can be used. If you can think it up, you can probably do it!

How does PhotoWall+ work?
Using PhotoWall+ is easy. Event organizers use PhotoWall+ to host, display and collect all incoming photos. All participants can download PhotoWall+ Camera for free to contribute to the display. Find out how easy is to set up an engaging slideshow using PhotoWall+ - send images directly to your Apple TV, speed it up, slow it down, customize picture transitions, and in the end, have all event photos saved in one convenient place.

PhotoWall+ Pricing and Availability: Get it Now for Just $0.99 - 48 Hours Only:
PhotoWall+ will be available on Tuesday December 8, 2015 for USD 4.99, but for 48 hours only, until December 10th, it will be available at the intro price of just $0.99 (USD).

The Audio Extractor 2.1 - The 7-in-1 Audio App for Music Lovers - Published on 12/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dubai-based independent developer, Ammar Salem announces The Audio Extractor 2.1, an important update to his popular audio utility app for iOS devices. The Audio Extractor offers seven music apps in one. The app brings the ability to extract audio from videos stored in a device's Camera Roll. This app also offers a song editor, a voice changer, a BPM calculator, text-to-speech, and music recognition capabilities. Version 2.1 now includes MemoTone an entertaining tone memory game.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Independent developer, Ammar Salem is proud to announce the release of The Audio Extractor 2.1, an important update to his popular audio utility app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. The Audio Extractor offers anyone the ability to extract audio from any videos stored on their device's Camera Roll. In addition, the app also offers a song editor, voice changer, a BPM calculator, music recognition functions, text-to-speech capabilities, and an entertaining tone memory game.

The Audio Extractor offers 7-apps-in-1, offering a great value to anyone who enjoys working with music and other types or audio. The app is designed to be an all-in-one audio suite, offering multiple ways to work and play with audio. Once users try this app, they'll never look at audio the same way again.

"The Audio Extractor was the first app of its kind on the App Store, with its ability to extract audio from any video stored on an iOS device's Camera Roll," says the app's developer, Ammar Salem. "While this was the app's only function in version 1, it quickly became popular, offering great utility to users around the world. Fans of the app will be pleased to find that version 2.1 of The Audio Extractor offers so much more!"

The Audio Extractor offers seven great functions; it's like getting seven apps for the price of one. The app's features offer users a full-blown audio editing and listening suite in the palm of their hand.

From Vidz:
This feature extracts audio from video, allowing anyone to extract the audio from any video stored on their iOS device's Camera Roll. Users can cut, lengthen, mark in and mark out to select just the right timing, extract, save and share, saving only the portion of the audio they need.

Beat Calculator:
This feature uses the Audio Extractor engine to quickly and efficiently calculate the Beats per Minute of any music, both from your iTunes library, and any music playing around you, live or recorded. Simply select the song from your library, or let the app listen to the live audio source, and it will calculate the BPM of that music source.

Voice Changer:
The app's Voice Changer/Song Editor allows users to record their own voice, or import songs from their music library, and apply a huge variety of effects. Once the audio is perfect, it's easy to share the resulting masterpiece with family and friends. Special effects include a Minion voice effect, echo effects, the ability to speed up and slow down the audio, the ability to add city and nature effects, play audio in reverse, and more.

GeTune Music Recognition:
Working similar to the popular Shazam service, the GeTune Music Recognition feature allows users to simply hold their iPhone up while a song is playing, and allow the app to listen. Within seconds, the app will have identified the song and display the name of the song, the album it is on, and the artist who sings it. Tap the result, and the app displays a list of YouTube videos associated with the song, ready for viewing. Also included is a handy History function that allows browsing of previously recognized songs.

Text to Audio:
The Audio Extractor app's Text to Audio feature is a powerful, yet simple to use tool that allows anyone to type or paste a text string into the app, and have it read back to them in a clear and natural sounding voice. Users can adjust the speed, tone, and even the accent of the voice playback.

MemoTone - The Tone Memory Game:
This new addition to The Audio Extractor offers a challenging test to a player's musical intelligence. Everyone will enjoy this uniquely challenging tone memory game, where they'll match the blocks according to the tone they make. This unusual game will exercise the participant's brain, while building essential listening skills. This game will be a free update for current owners of the app.

Music Player:
Last, but certainly not least, The Audio Extractor offers up this simple and beautiful music player. The player is designed to be easy to use, and to quickly allow listeners to access their music library for their listening pleasure. It even offers the ability to operated from the iOS lock screen.

"I hate it when I try to use an app, and find there are just too many steps in between me, and what I want to get done," continued Ammar. "That's why I kept The Audio Extractor simple and easy to use, even with it's numerous features, everything in the app is accessible in just a few taps of the screen."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 45.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Audio Extractor 2.1 is $2.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Promo codes are available to members of the press. There is also a lite version available.

In addition to revolutionary new features such as free, integrated data downloading, users are also treated to a new streamlined set of workflows designed to put more analysis and control at your fingertips - to encourage exploration and invention with as few clicks as possible. The end result is a unique balance of 'powerful features' and 'ease-of-use' that fits beautifully within Mac OS X El Capitan."

Xcore Apps Featured in Apps World's December 2015 Issue - Published on 12/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Xcore Apps, developer of the entertaining Guess the Emoji Icons Saga game for iOS devices, is featured in the December 2015 issue of Apps World magazine. The issue - as well as being available to 2,500,000 subscribers worldwide - will also be distributed at the yearly GMASA event on January 22, 2016. The company is featured on the front cover, as well as included in an article where Xcore's founders share their thoughts on the mobile app industry, and what they see for its future.

Forest Hills, New York - Xcore Apps, developers of the entertaining and brain-teasing Guess the Emoji Icons Saga game for iOS devices, are featured in the December 2015 issue of Apps World magazine. The issue, available to 2,500,000 subscribers worldwide, will also be distributed at the yearly GMASA event on January 22, 2016. Xcore Apps is featured on the front cover, as well as being included in an article where Xcore's founders, Sundari Chockalingam and Raja Ramanathan shared their thoughts on the mobile app industry today, and what they see for the industry's future.

Xcore Apps was founded in 2014 in Queens, New York, and the company has grown much more than even founders Sundari and Raja could have expected. The duo launched their first app "Guess The Emoji Icons Saga," soon after founding the company, and they say the experience taught them a great deal about the development and distribution of apps.

"The more we learn about the market the more involved we want to be and its a great experience to say the least, says Xcore Apps co-founder Raja Ramanathan. "We've prided ourselves on our interaction with our game's players, and from their helpful input, we've been able to bring an even more brain-teasing challenge to the game. Now, our experience in working with App World Magazine on this feature article has been another great learning experience."

Xcore Apps has been working closely with Apps World on the feature, and the founders say it has been another way that they've learned so much more about the industry they find themselves in. They have learned more about the various app markets around the globe, and have discovered a number of new ways to reach their target audience, such as their cooperation with the popular magazine.

As a result of their experiences in the market, and their discussions with App World Magazine, Xcore has evolved as a company, and have now branched out into offering social media marketing services to their users. The new service tailors the app marketing services to their customers' specific needs, offering an important and greatly needed service to the industry.

"As of now we offer social media marketing which could be tailored to the customers preferences, and we will offer other marketing services in the future," says Xcore Apps co-founder Sundari Chockalingam. "The Apps World Magazine article offers coverage of our newly offered marketing services, in addition to our opinions on current trends in the app market, so we are more than pleased as to what will come in the near future."

Xcore's first app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices was Guess the Emoji Icons Saga, an entertaining brain-teaser of a game that challenges players to select the correct emoji icons to represent the picture they're shown on the screen. The game starts out with a few easy puzzles, but quickly begins to challenge even the most avid user of emoji. The game includes over 40 levels of challenging questions, so it presents a challenge to even the most avid text messaging emoji user.

App World Magazine's December 2015 issue features Xcore Apps and its founders, and is recommended reading for anyone interested in their thoughts on the app industry today, and what they see for the industry in the future.

Combat Monsters gets bigger - Again - Published on 12/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BAFTA nominated indie, Rubicon Development today announces Combat Monsters 4.3, a massive expansion to its popular CCG/TBS game for iOS and Android devices. In Combat Monsters, the player's hero spawns 3D creatures to a large board that serves as the battlefield. Once spawned, each creature can attack, move about, heal itself or others, or cast devastating spells like the ever-popular fireball. Version 4.3 contains a massive amount of both new content and new features.

Newport, United Kingdom - Combat Monsters, created by award-winning indie studio Rubicon Development, has just spawned the "OMG It's Massive!" expansion, its fourth such major update since the game's launch in 2013. A unique combination of tactical combat and collectible card game, Combat Monsters is a love letter to staples such as Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone, with a full serving of Rubicon's legendary humor and polish - last seen in the BAFTA-nominated Great Big War Game.

"If you're a fan of CCGs and/or turn-based tactical strategy games, we made this for you," explained Paul Johnson, Managing Director and Co-Founder, Rubicon Development at Rubicon Development.

In Combat Monsters, the player's hero spawns 3D creatures to a large board that serves as the battlefield. Once spawned, each creature can attack (with various weapons or special abilities), move about, heal itself or others, or cast devastating spells like the ever-popular fireball. When the enemy's hero is fatally wounded, the battle is won.

There are many ways to play Combat Monsters. Will players overrun adversaries with dozens of bloodthirsty monsters? Defend at all costs with healing spells? Invest heavily in runes and concentrate on a few high-powered cards? New tactics are emerging all the time - like the triple-moving suicide bomber, amped Orc swarms, and the questionable ability to hide in a corner of the map like a sissy (pioneered by a Rubicon dev who shall not be named).

Key New Features/Content
* Team play: With up to three players per side, the tactical possibilities just exponentiated - will you focus on attacking the enemy, helping your friends, doing both, or neither?
* Clans: Clans are now an integral part of the game, thus promoting rivalry, death and destruction on a previously unseen scale - Sorry about that
* 600+ new cards: In this one update we've added more new cards than most other games in this genre offer in total. That's a lot of cards
* Money for nothing: Gifting, referrals and all manner of additional ways to share in-game progress have been added to bring people together - before they start cracking each other's' skulls
* New artwork: All the cards have had a graphical overhaul, and we believe our new foil effect is better than the real thing
* New heroes: Supporting the addition of a whole new class of monster, artillery, there are three new heroes to collect and play, each with unique stats and abilities
* Tons more: No, really - I know it's overused, but it's true

This latest expansion is so large that it would be badged as a sequel by most other studios, containing a massive amount of both new content and new features.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 212 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Combat Monsters 4.3 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

New Appiness iOS App Marketing Guide could not come at a better time - Published on 12/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marketing is what separates the winners from the losers in the App Store. Plenty of free information on app marketing already exists, but the new Appiness guide from Bright Newt has given iOS developers a step-by-step plan for effectively marketing their apps without breaking the bank. With cost-per-acquisition numbers trending upward over the past six months, Appiness couldn't come at a better time. A how-to marketing guide for turning duds into profitable apps.

San Ramon, California - Several different ad and promotion networks publish their cost-per-install (CPI) numbers and have reported an upward trend in recent months. Chartboost, for example, showed an increase from $1.99 per install in March 2015 to $2.21 in June 2015. Fiksu reported a $1.79 CPI in November 2015. These numbers represent a huge problem for iOS developers.

To help address this problem, Bright Newt has released Appiness, an iOS app marketing guide. Appiness could not come at a better time. In June 2015 Distimo reported that an app needs 23,000 downloads per day to rise to the Top 50 Free Overall. This means that app developers face a $35,000 /day spend if they want to achieve any real visibility.

"Most iOS developers simply can't afford the development and ongoing optimization costs required to build a freemium app," said Kyle Hartman, Chief Newt at Bright Newt. "And once they do finish an app, they can't afford to advertise and can't get their revenue-per-install high enough to make back their money. It's a Catch-22."

The Bright Newt team wanted to give iOS developers a hand by providing a how-to marketing guide for turning duds into profitable apps. Plenty of free information on app marketing already exists, but Appiness provides step-by-step instructions for inexpensive tactics, as well as "true tales of appiness" from successful developers.

The Appiness guide comes in three different packages at three price points - Basic Appiness for $38, Extra Appiness for $69, and Total Appiness for $118.

Each package comes with an assortment of other tools and resources, such as submission and launch day checklists, comprehensive spreadsheets of app review sites and app-related services, various templates, and interviews with thought leaders in the mobile industry.

The bottom line is this: Scrappy marketing is what separates the winners from the losers in the app business. If iOS developers make a unique, beautiful, and entertaining (or helpful) app, and then execute a smart, inexpensive marketing plan, then their apps will gain visibility, get more downloads, and make more money. Appiness is the winners' new, not-so-secret weapon.

Affinity Photo Receives First Major Update - Published on 12/10/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Serif today announces Affinity Photo 1.4, an important update to their 5-star rated image editor developed exclusively for Mac OS X. Built using Mac technologies on top of an advanced image-processing engine, Affinity Photo offers professional photographers blistering performance, highly accurate tools and a fresh workflow. With true end-to-end CMYK, 64-bit plug-in compatibility and more, version 1.4 boasts a huge update, including advanced panorama stitching and six extensions to Apple Photos.

Nottingham, United Kingdom - Serif has today announced the first major update to its revolutionary professional image editor, Affinity Photo, and to celebrate is also offering a one-week 20% discount in the Mac App Store. First released in July, Affinity Photo has already gained a formidable reputation offering high end professional tools, incredible speed, and rock solid stability. The fact it's also offered at a low price, with no subscription to pay for, has made it very popular with photographers-regularly topping the Mac App Store charts, and receiving 1000s of 5-star ratings on the store worldwide.

Despite there being no subscription fee, Serif has always promised to release regular free updates to the app for at least the first couple of years, and although some minor improvements have already been pushed this is the first time a significant number of new features have been added. One area of all-new technology the app is boasting is super accurate image alignment. This has opened up two new major new features of panorama stitching and image stacks.

"The accuracy of panorama stitching in the app really is as good as it gets-and with Affinity Photo's advanced memory management you can build up images of 100s of mega-pixels and still have incredible performance when you go to edit," said Ashley Hewson, Serif's Managing Director. "Then we've got image stacks - from simply removing an unwanted moving object from multiple shots to advanced techniques like layering multi-exposure composites, they add a whole new dimension to what is possible in the app."

Another big addition has been the inclusion of six extensions for Apple Photos, opening up some of Affinity's technology directly from within the Apple app. The extensions included are:

* Develop - with full RAW editing capability
* Liquify - for warping and re-sculpting areas of images
* Haze Removal - intelligently removing fog, mist and smog
* Miniature - for depth of field and tilt shift adjustments
* Monochrome - offering fine control over black and white conversion
* Retouch - including a full suite of retouching tools and smart pixel selection

"Opening up the ability for developers to produce extensions for Photos was a big part of the El Capitan update, and it's been fun writing for it," said Ashley. "While Affinity Photo is a very robust professional product and will always stay that way, extensions allow us to expose some of that power in a more use-case focused way for quick and easy editing."

Other Apple technology has been harnessed, too-in particular fully supporting the extended-gamut DCI-P3 displays found in the latest iMacs, giving a depth of colour to images beyond what was possible before. Other new features and improvements include canvas rotation, PDF/X and spot colour support, customisable keyboard shortcuts, additions to filters, adjustment layers and blend modes, and significant improvements to PSD compatibility.

The developers have had an incredibly busy end to the year, as not only have they been preparing the update to Affinity Photo, they have also launched an update to their Apple Designer Award-winning app Affinity Designer today. Designer now includes artboards, along with lots of new professional print features. Launching both updates at the same time ensures both apps remain fully compatible with each other.

Device Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later
* 64-bit processor

TeenShield Releases iOS Parental Monitoring for a Dangerous Internet - Published on 12/10/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Retina-X Studios today announces TeenShield, a sophisticated new service for parents to track their child's iPhone and iPad smartphone and tablet activities to protect them from a dangerous online world. The system is used to combat cyberbullying, sexting, dangerous meet-ups, tech addiction and sextortion. Parents may discreetly monitor their child's incoming and outgoing text messages, GPS locations, photos, contacts, Safari history and more from a secure online control panel.

Jacksonville, Florida - Retina-X Studios, the provider of child monitoring solutions since 2003, announces a sophisticated new service TeenShield for parents to track their child's iPhone and iPad smartphone and tablet activities to protect them from a dangerous online world. The system is used to combat cyberbullying, sexting, dangerous meet-ups, tech addiction and sextortion.

The system allows parents to discreetly monitor their child's incoming and outgoing text messages, iMessages including deleted messages, WhatsApp messages, GPS locations, photos, contacts, Safari history and more from a secure online control panel. Parents can also view applications installed on the monitored device. This gives parents the tools they need to ensure their child's safety from a plethora of high-tech dangers.

TeenShield can be set to notify the child they are being monitored or it can operate discreetly, thus giving the parent the choice of whether or not to notify their child they are being monitored. The system also uses the Global Positioning System of the phone or tablet to allow parents to know where their child has been throughout each day.

"A smartphone is not the phone parents had in their bedrooms as a teenager. Online predators and pedophiles preying on teenage children also use smartphone apps to try and find their next victim," said Sean Featherstone, COO of Retina-X Studios. "Parents have a right to monitor their minor child of whom they have legal guardianship, with or without their child's knowledge. It is sometimes the only way a parent can protect their child by making sure their child is not performing illicit activities or risky behavior."

Today's teenagers are subject to new electronic dangers which their parents did not experience. Cyberbullying and harassment online can affect a child's well-being and one in three children surveyed at a middle school in the Midwest have suffered from cyberbullying. Online predators preying on teenage children also use smartphone apps to try and find their next victim. Sexting is also prevalent and can ruin a child's future. As parents themselves, TeenShield's team aims to help other parents protect their children from these dangers, among many others.

TeenShield is a culmination of over 12 years of parental control software by Retina-X to keep kids safe while using technology. After introducing the world's first parental monitoring software for iPhone, iPad and Android, Retina-X Studios continued innovating and released the first software for parents to monitor iOS devices without needing to jailbreak the device. This software, PhoneSheriff Investigator was the precursor to TeenShield. Over a decade of technology has gone into creating TeenShield to ensure parents have a dependable way to protect their child.

"The immense power a child holds in their hands with a smartphone is uncanny," said Craig Thompson, Spokesperson for Retina-X Studios. "With great power comes great responsibility. With great responsibility comes the need for oversight. A parent should not allow their child unfettered access to the Internet and apps available on a smartphone. There are many dangers which will find their child, no matter if their child is looking for the dangers or not. It's better to be protected before something seeks out the child."

While TeenShield can work discreetly, Retina-X Studios recommends that the parent communicate with their child to explain rules about the smartphone or tablet and let their child know they are monitoring for their safety before giving their child a device. TeenShield takes about 10 minutes to setup and uses 256-bit encryption on a SSL secured website. There is no app needed on iPhone and iPad devices. The service is also available for Android smartphones and tablets. The service is priced at $13.95 per month and is available now at TeenShield's official website.

Since 2003, RXS has helped hundreds of thousands of parents protect their child from the dangers of the Internet on electronic devices. What started with computer monitoring software has since evolved into a mobile world of protecting children on computers, smartphones, tablets and networks. RXS has won five consecutive Gold Awards in the Cell Phone Parental Control category of TopTenREVIEWS since 2012. RXS products have been mentioned in a positive light by USA Today, Newsweek, Forbes, NPR, CBS News, BBC, CNN, Reader's Digest, and other media outlets. Copyright (C) 2015 Retina-X Studios, LLC.

With the ability to send multiple e-mails through a single SMTP connection, version 5.0 is now compatible with OS X 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11, and is built with the newest version of OpenSSL to support TLS 1.2.

Prague, Czech Republic - 24U Software today is proud to announce the release of 24U Email OSAX 5.0, a new version of the popular AppleScript scripting addition for Mac OS X. The scripting addition extends AppleScript by a few easy-to-use commands to quickly send emails directly from scripts, without the need of any additional applications. The latest version, with ready-to-use examples and ability to send multiple e-mails through a single SMTP connection, is now compatible with OS X 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11, and is built with the newest version of OpenSSL to support TLS 1.2.

24U Email OSAX allows AppleScript users to:
* Send e-mail directly from AppleScript to avoid learning complicated 3rd party tools
* Add attachments with encoding of his choice to be compatible even with old e-mail apps
* Send e-mails in background to keep user's script going without waiting for slow SMTP
* Send proper HTML e-mails to get e-mails look professional and not considered SPAM
* Connect to SMTP using SSL and authentication to protect user's e-mail communication

Peter Crosskey said: "I've been using a Mac for years but never really thought I'd be able to manage AppleScript, until I found that I could speed up routine e-mail transmissions with your software. Thank you."

Ron Bishop from The Kansas City Star wrote: "I use 24U Email OSAX for sending error messages through our email server. Easy to use."

Scott Love assigned a previous version of 24U Email OSAX a 4-mice rating in his Macworld review, writing: "24U Email OSAX 2.2 is a great help. Best of all, it won't break your bank."

HOnza Koudelka, software division manager of 24U, says: "Many e-mail automation tools open a new SMTP connection for every message they send, what makes them very slow. The biggest advantage of Email OSAX is in the way it can send e-mails in background and maintain a single SMTP connection for multiple adjacent messages. It gives you the ability to send e-mails out very fast with an easy to use syntax, but it still lets you construct the e-mail properly to avoid mail servers filtering a legitimate newsletter as spam. I am glad that our team has been able to combine the power of technology with the power of ease of use into a single product so efficiently."

Geocaching - The World's Largest Treasure Hunt, Now Available on iOS - Published on 12/11/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zed Said Studio announces the release of their latest app, Cachly 1.0 for iOS devices. Cachly is a geocaching app that uses the iOS device's GPS capabilities to allow users to explore and find hidden geocaches in their area. Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting activity in which participants use a GPS device to hide and find containers called geocaches. Throughout the world, there are over 2 million individual geocaches in more than 190 different countries.

Ridgefield, Washington - Zed Said Studio is proud to announce the release of their latest app, Cachly 1.0 for iPhone and iPad devices. Cachly is a geocaching app that uses the iOS device's GPS capabilities to allow users to explore and find hidden geocaches in their area.

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting activity in which participants use a GPS device to hide and find containers called geocaches. Throughout the world, there are over 2 million individual geocaches in more than 190 different countries. A typical geocache is placed in an area of beauty or interest, and is a small waterproof container, holding a logbook, and 'treasure' which may be a small toy or trinket in which geocachers can take or swap.

Previously, if geocachers wanted to go geocaching they had to buy a specialist GPS tracking device. However, due to advances in technology geocaching has grown more popular and accessible to everyone. This is because geocachers are now able to go out geocaching by simply using their smartphone and a geocaching app.

Unlike many expensive GPS devices, Cachly, quickly and easily provides users with information of nearby geocaches by providing a clear map and navigating the user to the geocache. It will also state each geocache's size, terrain it's on, and the difficulty of finding the geocache. Users are also able to view previous geocachers logs, photos, descriptions, and additional information for each geocache.

"Geocaching has always been a passion of mine," said Lead Developer of Zed Said Studio, Nicholas Hubbard. "In the past I have used other Geocaching apps on my iPhone. However, I was disappointed with most of the apps available for iOS. This then inspired me to go out and create my own app for the geocaching community"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPad
* Requires iOS 8.2 or later
* 18.5 MB

Pricing and Availability
Cachly 1.0 is just $2.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) for a limited time, and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Navigation category. The special introductory $2.99 price is good until December 18. Thereafter, the app will be available for its normal price of $4.99.

DriveDx 1.4.2 for Mac - Save yourself from Data Loss and Downtime - Published on 12/15/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BinaryFruit today announces the immediate availability of DriveDx 1.4.2, its latest solution for SSD and HDD health diagnostics and monitoring. As Mac OS X does not have a comprehensive drive health indicator, DriveDx fills a critical role in measuring the overall health of both SSD and HDD drives. Because DriveDx tracks more indicators of impending failure than any other product on the market, users will get advanced warning before their drives fail.

San Francisco, United States - BinaryFruit today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of DriveDx 1.4.2, its latest solution for SSD and HDD health diagnostics and monitoring. As Mac OS X does not have a comprehensive drive health indicator, DriveDx fills a critical role in measuring the overall health of both SSD and HDD drives. Because DriveDx tracks more indicators of impending failure than any other product on the market, users will get advanced warning before their drives fail. This will allow them to take action to avert the failure, and save themselves from resulting data loss and downtime.

Unlike many other drive health diagnostics utilities that simply check built-in S.M.A.R.T. status, DriveDx performs overall drive health diagnostics using drive health indicators (like SSD wear out / endurance, reallocated bad sectors, offline bad sectors, pending sectors, I/O errors, and more) that most closely correlate with drive failures according to the statistics reported in the latest researches focused on identifying drive failure trends. This gives a user a comprehensive picture of a current drive health status and enables foreseeing potential problems with drive failure and loss of sensitive data. Moreover, DriveDx shows this information on a user-friendly Mac-style interface in an easy-to-understand format.

"Here's a DriveDx triumph. DriveDx showed my just out of AppleCare iMac with two pre-fail conditions for the hard drive. Made appointment and took it to Genius Bar yesterday. Tech looked at DriveDx and was very impressed. Even though out of warranty - they replaced the drive without question," said Michael Sidoric, CapMac User Group Treasurer, ex-Vice President of CapMac.org. "God knows how many dollars and troubles DriveDx saved me since I had several vital FinalCut projects on it."

DriveDx is a combined drive health analysis and forecasting tool. It monitors and analyzes changes to S.M.A.R.T. attributes in order to continuously evaluate drive health status and predict drive failures. In addition to "Failed" and "OK" drive statutes DriveDx supports "Warning" and "Failing" statuses indicating that a drive is in a pre-failure status and backup of sensitive data is highly recommended.

DriveDx performs both SSD and HDD health diagnostics. Moreover, it uses a separate set of indicators for SSD and HDD to monitor drive health status. This is particularly important as SSD works different from HDD, and requires a different algorithm to check its health status. Also, SDDs typically are more dependent on firmware than HDDs, and DriveDx has been programmed to support many versions of firmware (please see our website for a complete list of supported firmware).

DriveDx allows configuring the delivery of customized drive status and free space reports by e-mail and therefore does not require user presence to inform about drive status changes. In addition DriveDx can launch built-in drive diagnostics self-tests. Drive self-tests will help to quickly identify if the drive is faulty.

DriveDx is the first utility of its kind to have a real user-friendly Mac-style interface. It is organized in a way that allows a user to view and understand drive status and its performance at a glance. User can switch between different view modes to drill up or down data related to drive health, including S.M.A.R.T. indicators and attributes, drive statistics and errors.

What's New in DriveDx 1.4.2:
* Improved diagnostic algorithms and heuristics
* Improved support of most recent SSD and HDD models
* Improved support of most recent Western Digital HDDs

Textkraft Pocket with Spotlight Search and iPhone 6s Quick Actions - Published on 12/15/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

infovole GmbH today announces Textkraft Pocket 3.0, an important update to their professional text editor for iPhone and Apple Watch. Textkraft Pocket is by far the most versatile mobile writing and note taking app. Textkraft Pocket now has offline dictionaries for 22 languages and country specific variations on board. Version 3.0 brings WebDAV, Spotlight Search, 3D-Touch Quick Actions, more dictionaries and improved iOS 9 and iPhone 6s compatibility.

Neuss, Germany - infovole GmbH today is proud to announce the release of Textkraft Pocket 3.0, an important update to their professional text editor forfor iPhone and Apple Watch. Textkraft Pocket is by far the most versatile mobile writing and note taking app. "The Swiss Army knife for text" is always at hand, wherever information must be researched and ideas become words. Just before the end of the year infovole GmbH released the eighth comprehensive update in just 14 months.

Textkraft Pocket now connects to WebDAV servers. This allows users who don't trust cloud providers, to store documents securely on own servers or the PC at home. As usual Textkraft supports deletion, moving, copying, renaming and creation of files and folders, so that there is no need to leave the app when files must be organized. In addition, there are 8 more cloud services and local storage available - which are also synced with the Apple Watch.

Spotlight Search is a powerful search engine in the palm of your hand, which evaluates app data and personal documents beside the usual web content. Textkraft Pocket makes text documents accessible through Spotlight. When the app is protected with a passcode or Touch ID, Spotlight will show no thumbnails of the documents. Apple also guarantees that the contents remain only on the device of the user. When there are still security concerns, Spotlight Search can be switched off in the app settings.

Everybody who owns one of these fancy new iPhone 6s devices, can trigger the most important Textkraft actions after app launch with a Force Touch. Four home screen Quick Actions are available: Immediately write or paste the clipboard to a new document, display favorites or list recently edited files.

Textkraft Pocket now has offline dictionaries for 22 languages and country specific variations on board. New additions include Polish, Turkish, Finnish, and Korean. Enhanced dictionaries for English, French, German and Spanish are including a thesaurus. Beside the display of possible word completions, words with special fragments or suffixes are available. The last option is very useful for creating poetry and song lyrics.

Textkraft Pocket is now based on the actual iOS 9 SDK, which improves compatibility and functionality of iOS 9 devices, but it is still compatible with iOS 8 and iOS 7. Over the holidays Textkraft Pocket is available with 20% discount, for USD 3.99 / GBP 2.99 / EUR 3.99.

Offline Pages for Mac 1.0 Saves Entire Websites for Offline Browsing - Published on 12/15/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seattle based Codium Labs today introduces Offline Pages for Mac 1.0, their advanced and intelligent offline browser for Mac OS X. Offline Pages allows anyone to save virtually any website to their hard drive for offline access, making it available for viewing at a later time. Perfect for marketing and sales professionals, this app is particularly handy for road warriors who wish to present their company's information to customers without making use of cellular, or insecure Wi-Fi connections.

Seattle, Washington - Codium Labs today is proud to announce the release of Offline Pages for Mac 1.0, one of the most advanced and intelligent offline browsers available on any platform. Offline Pages allows saving almost any website for offline use. Offline Pages Pro for iOS has been available for 5 years, and has been downloaded over 300,000 times, saving over 3.5 million unique web pages for our users. The popular offline browsing app is now available on the Mac, allowing users on the desktop platform to save favorite sites for offsite browsing.

Offline Pages makes use of a combination of intelligent algorithms that, along with the user's custom settings, make each saved website a personalized experience. The reliability and easy configuration of Offline Pages makes the app a tool of choice for businesses and individuals that are in need of accessing websites while offline, allowing viewing as if they are standalone apps, no matter if they have an Internet connection or not. This makes Offline Pages particularly valuable to road warriors, such as marketing and sales professionals who may not always have access to a secure connection to their websites via cellular or Wi-Fi connections.

"Our popular Offline Pages Pro app for iOS has become a go-to app among sales and marketing professionals who may need to access websites while on the road, but don't have access to a reliable and secure connection to protect their company's proprietary data," says Codium Labs founder Andrei Chtcherbatchenko. "With Offline Pages for Mac, we've brought that same easy to use, yet reliable offline access to websites to Mac users."

Benefits of Using Offline Pages Include:
* Pay less for cellular bandwidth
* Avoid flaky and insecure public Wi-Fi
* Ability to browse websites on subway or airplane
* Ultra fast page loading
* Backup, archive and preserve important websites
* Extend company Intranet to employee-owned devices
* Prepare for emergencies

Offline Pages offers a number of features to help organize and sync a user's data. The app offers a tabbed browser that allows users to have multiple websites open at once, as well as the ability to share links from the built-in browser to users of other devices, as well as directly to their iOS devices by email via the app's sharing feature. Saved websites can consist of a single page, or every page available in the online version of the website. The offline library of websites can be easily organized in folders and can be assigned tags to allow filtering them via user-definable subjects.

Feature Highlights:
* Copies entire websites to the hard drive for offline access
* Settings can be fine-tuned on a website-by-website basis
* Supports most HTML5 websites, allowing them to run as fully functional offline apps
* Supports HTML5 video, lightboxes, slideshows, and virtual reality panoramas
* Supports websites that require login and password information
* Modern Safari-compatible browser, including tabs and folders
* Full screen mode available
* Automatic background updates
* Intelligent detection of important links and multi-page articles
* Logical, easy to understand user interface
* Download up to 50,000 pages per website

"By using Offline Pages for the Mac, users can now access their favorite websites directly from their hard drive, whenever a reliable Internet connection isn't available," added Andrei. "Plus, unlike some other apps that claim to save websites for offline viewing, Offline Pages grabs the entire website, including modern HTML5 slideshows, lightboxes, and VR viewers, not just simple graphics and other media files. This offers the best offline browsing experience available to Mac users today."

As well as using Offline Pages to save their own websites for presentations to clients, users can also make use of the app to download a customer's site for research when an Internet connection is unavailable, such as on a plane or train. The app can also be used for entertainment purposes, allowing recreational viewing of popular websites while out of range of a data connection. The app's ability to download thousands of pages of information from websites, as well as the ability to view the saved sites full screen, makes the app a valuable addition to any road warrior's arsenal.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.10 or higher
* 64-bit Processor
* 500 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Offline Pages for Mac 1.0 is only $19.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. Review copies are available upon request.

With 10 levels, gameplay features collecting candy canes to activate Sugar Rush mode while avoiding rocks and snowmen.

Los Angeles, California - Interplay Entertainment is pleased to introduce Santa's Reindeer Run for iOS, an original horizontal scroller game and ideal holiday fun game for the whole family. Players help Santa collect presents to deliver. Without his full reindeer team, the sleigh is too heavy to stay in the air for long.

Touching the screen makes the sleigh dive and gain speed, and then using the hills it gets airborne again! Unlocking reindeer increases the number of presents Santa can haul and also increases the speed of the sleigh. Collecting candy canes activates Sugar Rush mode for an additional burst of speed. Santa will need that extra power because he has to deliver the presents before morning or it's game over!

Game Features:
* 10 levels with each level adding a reindeer to your sleigh
* Use the hills to fly with Santa and his reindeer
* Fun gameplay: Collect presents and candy canes for a speed boost
* Tap the screen to drop presents down the chimneys in the bonus round
* Avoid Snowmen as hitting them will blind you for a second
* Hitting rocks will make you lose some precious cargo

'Twas the Night before Christmas; Santa sat in is sleigh. With a crack of his whip, he would be on his way. But the elves were careless and the buckles weren't tight. The reindeer unhitched and flew out of sight! Help Santa and Dasher catch up with their friends. And deliver the presents before Christmas Eve ends!

By using simple gameplay and integrating physics in the design, Santa's Reindeer Run for iOS is accessible to everyone. Unlike most games in this category, players can also leave the game at anytime and return to the action exactly where they left off. This allows for either super short or longer play sessions to conform to the player's lifestyle. Snowfall and christmas music combined with parallax scrolling, where front layers scroll faster than back layers, add to the holiday spirit of the game.

This refreshing original holiday game is available now! With 10 levels and an increasingly fast sleigh to fly, Santa's Reindeer Run will entertain the whole family this season.

Language Support:
* English

Creolabs Offers Beta Test of Creo for OS X - Design and Develop iOS Apps - Published on 12/16/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Creolabs announces the opening of the beta test for Creo, their modern development tool for Mac OS X. Creo combines the design and development of mobile apps into one easy-to-use application. App creation is normally split into two camps: design and development. This application offers the best of both worlds, allowing users to concentrate on creating their app. Creolabs is now offering the chance to beta test Creo, giving users an opportunity to try out the new tool before it goes public.

Parma, Italy - Creolabs is proud to announce the opening of the beta test of Creo, their modern design and development tool for Mac OS X. Creo combines both phases of the development process into one easy-to-use tool. App creation is normally split into two phases - with designers using a prototyping layout tool to create the interface, and developers using native development tools to create the code that powers the designer's interface - Creo merges those two worlds into a single tool that allows users to concentrate on creating their app, not on the development process.

Creo offers drag-and-drop controls, classes, and objects that allow anyone to build their app's navigation and features with just a few clicks of their mouse. While building the app's interface, the user is also effectively building a native app. Creo uses Creolabs CreoKIT Objective-C/Swift native framework that enables Creo to execute any iOS, (and coming soon: Android), code on the Mac. The method offers a way to preview your running code directly in the Creo app.

While Creo offers an easy way to preview mobile application code on the Mac, it also offers a native iOS app that can run the Creo code developed on the Mac, so developers can get a true feel for how their code will look on the target device. Testing Creo apps directly on a mobile device is as simple as making sure both the mobile device and the Mac are on the same network, running the Creo player app on the mobile device, and pressing the "Send" key on the Mac app. The app transfers to the device, and runs as any native mobile app normally would.

"Designing and developing mobile apps with traditional tools has always been an involved and time consuming process," says Marco Bambini, founder of Creolabs. "With Creo, we have invented a better development tool that streamlines the app development process. By allowing users to combine the design and code process into one workflow, we are enhancing their app development methodology."

Creo developed the CreoKIT framework to allow the execution of iOS and Android code on a Mac without making any major changes. The framework allows developers to design and develop their apps, and then immediately test them directly on their Mac. The CreoKIT framework is also available for licensing as a standalone product for developers, offering a way for them to easily port their mobile apps to the Mac in just a few minutes.

"We didn't want to reinvent the wheel, but we knew we needed a way for the Creo development tool to execute mobile code on the Mac," adds Marco. "We knew we needed to come up with a way to merge design with code to give developers the ability to preview the app directly on their Mac, that's when CreoKIT was born."

Creo has plenty of experience with developing unique programming tools. They also created Gravity, which is a small, high-performance language that is class-based, and features a modern syntax, which gives users the ability to make use of object-based programming methods. Visualize Swift, JavaScript, and Smalltalk, all combined into one modern development tool.

The initial development phase of Creo is nearing an end, and Creolabs is ready for beta testers to take their new development tool for a test drive. Mac users who are running Mac OS X 10.10 or higher are welcome to apply to become a beta tester of Creo. Creolabs invites both app designers and developers to test the new tool, as the company would appreciate feedback from both types of prospective users.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.10 or higher
* 64-bit Processor
* 114.5 MB

Interested parties who would like to join the beta test of Creo are invited to visit the Creo Beta Signup website and enter their email address to claim their place in the beta applicant queue. Due to a very high demand, Creolabs was forced to setup a private beta test, and put a waiting list in place. Applicants will be notified once a slot in the beta becomes available.

Solaris: rover expedition 1.0 released for iOS and Android - Published on 12/16/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based mobile app and game development company, Fan Studio today introduces Solaris: rover expedition 1.0, their latest mobile app game available for both iOS and Android users. This space-oriented game offers players of all ages the unique ability to design and test their own space rovers on the rough terrain of a Mars-like planet. The game challenges players to travel the furthest distance while dealing with terrain obstacles such as loose rubble, crevasses, and rocky precipices.

London, United Kingdom - Fan Studio, a mobile app and game development company boasting over 20 million total app downloads to date, today is thrilled to announce the release of Solaris: rover expedition 1.0, their latest mobile app game available for both iOS and Android users. This space-oriented game offers players of all ages the unique ability to design and test their own space rovers on the rough terrain of a Mars-like planet.

The game challenges players to design a rover that can travel the furthest distance while dealing with terrain obstacles such as loose rubble, crevasses, and rocky precipices. Set against a graphic outer space background, the space exploration vehicle maneuvers across the imagined rugged landscape, while a counter at the top of the screen shows the distance traveled in that test run. Solaris: rover expedition aims to appeal to amateurs and engineers alike, with a simple UI that makes it easy to play, while allowing for more advanced players to employ different design ideas through trial and error processes.

The rovers are designed by using the finger to draw any shape around an engine and adding up to six wheels (which can be resized) on the vehicle. The rover is then launched onto the planet's surface where it moves across the varying terrain. During gameplay, two power-ups are available: a hover boost, which lifts the rover up off the ground, and a speed boost, which propels the craft forward. There is no limit to the number of times a power-up can be used, but there is a re-charging period during which they are unavailable. Players also have access to a bonus feature that launches space rubble into the air. The test run (game) ends when the rover is stuck or no longer able to move forward.

Solaris: rover expedition focuses on distance over speed and is playable in either single player or multiplayer mode. Coins are earned each time a rover is designed and launched, and they can be used later on to enter into the weekly tournament. During these tournaments, Solaris: rover expedition players will compete against each other with their custom-designed rovers to see whose travels the most distance.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 53.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Solaris: rover expedition 1.0 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

New update of UNKILLED brings asynchronous multiplayer and new weapons - Published on 12/16/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MADFINGER Games today announces UNKILLED 0.4.0, an update to their popular zombie shooter made for mobile devices. NYC is the center of the world's latest zombie outbreak. Find, track, and eliminate the zombie menace before it becomes global! Players now have the option to build their own zombie army and attack other players' bases. Four new weapons offering improved gameplay balance in new special ops scenarios called "neutral zombies" with harder difficulty.

Brno, Czech Republic - MADFINGER Games today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of UNKILLED 0.4.0, an update to their popular zombie shooter made for mobile devices. NYC is the center of the world's latest zombie outbreak. You are Joe, member of the anti-zombie unit WOLFPACK, a private military organization designed to find, track, and eliminate the zombie menace before it becomes global.

"When we released the game, we tried to give players great graphics that pushed the limits of what mobile gaming can achieve, along with a perfected control system and hundreds of story missions," explains Pavel Cizek, the project leader of UNKILLED. "Now, with this latest update, we're adding the competitive feature of player vs. player, which gives gamers the option to use zombies as their own personal army."

Asynchronous multiplayer now allows players to build their own army of zombies using DNA blueprints. Each type of zombie can be further improved in several ways: speed, force, attack rating, etc.

The new Skirmish Ops map now displays randomly-selected players bases with their corresponding defense level. If the defense level is too strong, the attacking player will first need to improve and expand its own zombie army before sending them into battle. When defending, the goal is deceptively simply: fight and eliminate the enemy zombie army in the given time limit.

For more hardcore gamers, the Skirmish map also offers new Neutral Zombie missions with greater difficulty for bigger rewards. The results of attacking and defending players' bases are counted by using the score in the Skirmish Leaderboards. Every player now has the option to choose their own nickname.

Last but not least, UNKILLED now features daily challenges, tracked by a Daily Challenge Leaderboard. Headshots, zombie deaths, ammo consumption, and more--players can compete for Daily Challenge supremacy with an ever-changing trophy system. All this new content is MADFINGER's way of saying "Happy Holidays and thank you!" to its loyal fan base.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 217 MB

Pricing and Availability:
UNKILLED 0.4.0 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Simplex Spelling Apps Significantly Improve Spelling Skills, Study Shows - Published on 12/16/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pyxwise Software has had its educational methodology validated by an academic study, which showed an average improvement of 1.9 grades among children who regularly used its iPad apps. Simplex Spelling improves English spelling and reading skills by using a powerful combination of phonics lessons, spelling/word patterns, our unique "reverse phonics" approach and contextually relevant spelling rules. The 2014 study was carried out by Dr. Linda Chmiliar and Serena Seeger at Athabasca University.

Edmonton, Canada - Pyxwise Software, the maker of the Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 and 2 apps, has had its educational methodology validated by an academic study which showed an average improvement of 1.9 grades among children who regularly used its iPad apps.

The 2014 study, carried out by Dr. Linda Chmiliar and Serena Seeger at Athabasca University, followed 23 students with learning disabilities who used the Simplex Spelling series of apps for 10-15 minutes a day for approximately 1-2 days a week over an 18-week period. Students took the Schonell Spelling Test at the beginning and end of the research period, which revealed an average rise of 1.9 grade levels among students involved. The largest grade improvement was 4.4 grade levels.

Pyxwise Software is at the forefront of a new trend in education: using tablets and apps to make education more fun and effective. Simplex Spelling apps use a systematic phonics-based approach which is backed by pedagogic research. The apps use bright colors, spoken audio, sound effects and game-style rewards to make them as engaging as possible for children. Pupils involved in the Athabasca study described Simplex Spelling apps as "cool" and "fun" - words rarely used to describe traditional methods of teaching spelling.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1.1 or later
* 98 MB

Pyxwise Software has a total of seven spelling apps on the market, suitable for kids from kindergarten to age 9 and above. The company will soon release app updates which will bring its apps in line with future support for 64-bit devices.

Le Menu Dit 1.0 for iOS - Instantly Translates English Menus to French - Published on 12/17/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Creekcats LLC today announces Le Menu Dit 1.0, their English to French menu translator for iOS devices. Le Menu Dit (French for "the menu says") presents each line of the original menu with the translation immediately below it, so French-speaking travelers can easily order while traveling in the United Kingdom, the United States and other English-speaking countries. Users simply take a photo of the menu, crop as needed, and tap "Translate." No Internet connection is required.

Berkeley, California - Creekcats LLC is today proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Le Menu Dit 1.0, their English to French menu translator for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. More than just a word translator, the app is designed to make ordering from a menu easy: an entire column of a menu can be translated at one time, and results are presented in bold type with each line of the original menu immediately followed by its translation, so the traveler can point to what they want to order. Users simply take a photo of the menu, crop as needed, and tap "Translate." Le Menu Dit immediately handles the translation, resulting in an understandable menu for users to read and order from.

"Le Menu Dit" is French for "The Menu Says," which is the perfect description of what the app does. While laying the groundwork for Le Menu Dit 1.0, developers created a list of over 37,000 menu-related phrases, which they translated from English to French. The resulting phrase dictionary is the basis of Le Menu Dit 1.0.

Why Choose Le Menu Dit?
* It is designed specifically to make it easy to order from a translated menu: Each line of the menu is followed by its translation. Many competing apps create a single block of translated text, and it can be very hard to figure out which item on the original menu corresponds to the desired item in the translation.
* It is reliable. It works very well on most menus, and gives an acceptable translation on most of the rest.
* It works the same offline or online, so it works anywhere, whether the user has a data connection or not. Many competing apps either require an Internet connection, or perform poorly if one isn't available.
* It has a very simple interface so users can use it easily the first time, and won't need to re-learn it if they don't use it for weeks or months.
* The translation is in bold, easy-to-read type.

"The idea for Le Menu Dit 1.0 came to us - myself, my wife, and my parents - while we were biking along the Danube," says Phil Price, inventor of the app. "We stopped at a restaurant for dinner, and even though we know a smattering of German we couldn't read the menu: we would have been able to read the German words for 'fish' and 'vegetables', but that didn't help because we didn't know the words for 'halibut' or 'asparagus.' We tried using a popular translation app (Word Lens) , but it was frustrating to use and the results were very poor. I said out loud, 'This is awful! I could write a better app myself!' My mother challenged me with, 'If you do, I will happily invest in it.' And that's how Le Menu Dit came to be." Upon returning from their trip, Phil and his two friends, Nathan Addy and Yixing (Ethan) Chen, set to work on developing the app.

Unlike most other translation apps for iOS device, Le Menu Dit doesn't try to be an all-purpose translation tool. Instead, it concentrates on being excellent at one thing, quickly translating menus from English to French and presenting the translation in a way that makes it easy for users to point to what they want to order. There are no complicated procedures to learn, or confusing icons that must be hit in the proper order. Menu translation is merely a matter of point, shoot, crop, and wait a moment for the translation.

Features:
* Translates English menus to French, using a photo of the menu
* Includes over 37,000 menu-related words and phrases
* Translated words are displayed in a bold font, perfect for travelers 55 and older
* Each line of the menu is shown with its translation immediately below, so it's easy to match each item to its translation.
* Results are saved, so users can easily go back and forth through pages of a menu
* Includes a built-in flashlight function for use in low-light conditions
* Share translation results via email or Facebook with an available Internet connection

Visits from France to the United Kingdom and the United States in 2013 tallied over 5.3 million, and most of those visitors do not speak fluent English. Those visits were of approximately one week's duration, making an app like Le Menu Dit a must-have app for any French traveler's iPhone or iPad.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.1 or higher
* Universal Application
* 17.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Le Menu Dit 1.0 is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Travel category. It can be launched five times for free, and several menu pages can be processed with a single launch of the app, so a user can use the app for several meals for free. They will then be need to unlock the app via a convenient in-app purchase. Options for premium features include one week's usage for $0.99, or unlimited usage for $2.99.

Indie developer breaks new ground with free action game - Swift Move - Published on 12/17/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Binh Huynh today announces Swift Move 3.2, its ground-breaking action game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Swift Move combines elements of basic board games with intuitive iPhone gaming features of touchscreen swiping. The game introduces a 3x3 board in the middle of the screen where there are a yellow star and a white ball on 2 different tiles. The player has to control the white ball to hit the yellow star for point.

San Jose, California - Independent developer Binh Huynh today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Swift Move 3.2, its ground-breaking new app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Swift Move, an action game that combines elements of basic board games with intuitive iPhone gaming features of touchscreen swiping, is free to get from the App Store.

The concept is simple. Swift Move wants to see how "swift" the player can "move". The game introduces a 3x3 board in the middle of the screen where there are a yellow star and a white ball on 2 different tiles. The player has to control the white ball to hit the yellow star for point. Every time a star is hit and destroyed, there will be a new one showing up at another tile for the player to continue. While chasing the yellow star, the white ball must also avoid other blue balls that come out from the screen's edges and move across the board.

One of the game's best features is how it tests the player's reaction from foreseeing enemies that come from all directions to handling his movements quickly and wisely in a limited space. The game layout is simple yet polished and well-functioning. At each game's end, Swift Move conveniently let players share their achievement on Facebook or Twitter with one-touch buttons. Similarly, by supporting Game Center feature, the game also let them check their current ranking worldwide with another touch away. Get it for free today. You won't be able to quit once you start.

How To Play:

* Swipe anywhere on the screen in any direction to move the white ball. It is recommended to swipe on the area below the 3x3 board so that you can see the movement of the balls without having your finger blocked your view. Each swipe triggers one move in either up,down,left or right direction on the constrained board.

* Move the white ball to the tiles of yellow stars which keep appearing randomly. Every once in a while, there will be elusive white stars popping out and disappearing in just seconds. Hitting the white stars will get you 3 additional points instead of regular 1 point per yellow star

* Watch out the blue balls. If you hit the blue ball, you will be blown up and it's game over !

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 17.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Swift Move 3.2 is free and available from 13th November 2015 worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Please contact Binh Huynh for more information.

My Top Friends Shows Users Who's Checking Their Facebook Profile - Published on 12/17/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

My Top Friends by Smart Husky Developers uses a proprietary smart algorithm to analyze users' Facebook profiles, in order to reveal who's secretly paying a virtual visit - such as friends, family, colleagues, old flames, secret admirers, and so on. The app is easy to use and remarkably informative. The new free app is available in the App Store for iOS devices, and an Android version (called "Who Viewed My Profile") is also available via Google Play.

Beirut, Lebanon - Facebook users who've have always wanted to know who's secretly checking out their profile and photos can finally stop guessing - and start knowing - thanks to the new must-have app: My Top Friends 2.1. The new no-cost app is available from the App Store for iOS devices, and an Android version (called "Who Viewed My Profile") is also available via Google Play.

Created by Smart Husky Developers, My Top Friends / Who Viewed My Profile is easy to use and remarkably informative. Users simply log in through Facebook, and sit back as the app's proprietary smart algorithm analyzes their profile to see who's been paying a virtual visit - such as friends, family, colleagues and of course: old flames and secret admirers.

Once the app is done crunching the data - and it takes mere seconds - users are presented with a top 150 list, which is as informative as it is fascinating. Indeed, part of the app's intrigue is that users who are certain that they know who's covertly checking them out, are very likely going to be surprised or stunned when they get the facts.

Plus, users can include/exclude people who appear on their list. They can also be assured that their list is private and confidential, and that nothing will be posted on their Facebook profile.

Other My Top Friends / Who Viewed My Profile notable features include:
* A remarkably well-designed interface that displays names and photos of those in the top 150
* Fast-loading screens that make it easy to swipe back/forth through the top 150
* A handy "tap to reload" button to refresh and update the top 150

"We all love Facebook and spend hours a day posting updates, connecting with our network, following our favorites, and more," commented Bilal Raad of Smart Husky Developers. "But there's always been something missing from the experience: the ability to discover who's secretly viewing our profile. Well, our new app finally solves this mystery - and users will be anywhere from amused to amazed at what they learn!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 12.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
My Top Friends / Who Viewed My Profile 2.1 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Entertainment category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Award Winning 3D Isometric Racing Game "Blitz Racer" Now Updated - Published on 12/17/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PearFiction Studios Inc. announces version 2.0 of its award winning 3D isometric racing game Blitz Racer is now available for iOS and Android devices. The fundamental objectives of Blitz Racer 2.0 remain the same, and are refreshingly simple: don't crash, stay alive, and keep racing. Current and future fans have plenty to be excited about, including new tracks, new tunes, and enhanced gameplay features. Version 2.0 brings Game Center integration, saving and sharing of videos, and more.

Montreal, Canada - PearFiction Studios Inc. is today proud to announce that version 2.0 of its award winning 3D isometric racing game Blitz Racer is now available for iOS and Android devices - and both current and future fans have plenty to be excited about, including new tracks, new tunes, and enhanced gameplay features.

The fundamental objectives of Blitz Racer 2.0 remain the same, and are refreshingly simple: don't crash, stay alive, and keep racing. However, achieving these goals is easier said than done. Gamers must deftly and rapidly navigate various race tracks that feature a sleek isometric design, and that have both a retro and futuristic feel at the same time. It really is a unique aesthetic that will impress both new and "old school" gamers alike.

Tapping left allows gamers to turn 90 degrees counter-clockwise (i.e. to the left), while tapping right allows gamers to turn 90 degrees clockwise (i.e. to the right). Each time they complete a lap, gamers earn a star. When they collect enough stars, they head to the next level and face an even tougher track.

In the original version of Blitz Racer - which won the Pocket Gamer Silver Award, and was heralded as a game that "delivers the arcade racing goods with admirable style and uniqueness" - gamers had to contend with 6 distinct race tracks. Now in version 2.0, they're presented with 19 brand new courses, bringing the total to 25. What's more, each track has its own original techno-inspired, adrenaline-pumping anthem.

Other special features in Blitz Racer 2.0 that gamers can look forward to include:
* A re-tooled difficulty arc that makes the game more fun, challenging and addictive
* A new function that allows gamers to use lives and resume their game, so they can extend their Blitz Racer experience
* Game Center integration to compete against friends
* The ability for gamers to save and share videos of their best laps

"Blitz Racer 2.0 has the same sleek isometric design, unique controls, and challenging gameplay that earned it rave reviews around the world," commented Thierry Semoff of PearFiction Studios Inc. "And now, there are tons of new tracks and tunes to experience!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 99.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Blitz Racer 2.0 is free, and is available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. An Android version is available through Google Play.

New Strategy Game "Artificial Defense" is a Real-Time Orbital Shooter - Published on 12/17/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ONE MAN GAMES announces the release of Artificial Defense 1.0.2 for iOS and Android devices, in which gamers assume the identity of a powerful computer system and must defend servers from swarms of invading enemies by attacking, defending and conquering. There are three key gameplay elements: offense, defense and conquer. Artificial Defense delivers a sophisticated, intelligent real-time orbital shooter experience in a virtual reality setting.

Metzingen, Germany - Gamers looking for their next exciting challenge - one that will keep them playing long into the night as they defeat enemies, and stay alive to fight another battle - can now head to the App Store or Google Play and download Artificial Defense 1.0.2, the brilliant new strategy game for iOS and Android devices from ONE MAN GAMES.

Unlike conventional battle strategy games that are often "shoot 'em up" arcade style offerings, Artificial Defense delivers a sophisticated, intelligent real-time orbital shooter experience in a virtual reality setting.

Here's the Artificial Defense story: Gamers assume the identity of a powerful computer system known as "The Machine", and must defend servers from swarms of invading attackers. There are three key gameplay elements: offense, defense and conquer.

* OFFENSE: Gamers try to obliterate enemies by using up to 21 different weapons, from conventional and rather antiquated (though partially effective) flintlocks, to devastating hellfire missiles, nuclear bombs, and even asteroids. In total, there are 7 handgun weapons, 7 missile weapons, and 7 heavy duty weapons.

* DEFENSE: Gamers protect their network of servers by fortifying 21 defense towers, which range from pistol sentry towers, to those that use flame throwers and launch long-range railgun artillery. 7 of these towers are close-combat towers, while 7 are long-range towers. There are also 7 production towers that produce essential RAM, which gamers stockpile and secure.

* CONQUER: Gamers must launch intrusion counter measures (ICMs) to re-conquer breached honeypots, firewalls and defense nodes. They must also secure a safe path for datablip convoys, which carry valuable data from databases to backup devices

Gamers start out as an analog punch-tape system, and by successfully making their way through 49 unique challenges, they evolve through 6 systems on their way to becoming a powerful quantum A.I. computer.

Other Artificial Defense special features include:
* 13 music tracks, including electro, new retro wave, 8-bit style, heavy metal, and more
* Mobile GFX settings that ensure the game looks brilliant on high-end devices, while being fully playable on older models
* No ads and just one single in-app purchase (Unlock Full Version).

In addition, Artificial Defense has been accepted into the entertainment platform Steam's "Greenlight" program, which invites gamers to provide feedback and "vote up" new games that they want to see accepted and distributed.

Comments from impressed gamers include:
* "Definitely a game that deserves to be greenlit. Played it on mobile and I must say the game has plenty of unique ideas".
* "I've been looking for a nice strategy game to buy... YOU HAVE MY VOTE AND POSSIBLY THOUSANDS MORE ON THE WAY!!!"
* "I love tower defense games, especially ones that take it to the next level. You have my vote!"
* "Voted, this looks fantastic".

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 69.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Artificial Defense 1.0.2 is free, and is available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. An Android version is available through Google Play.

Emily Wants to Play causes players to break their headphones in fear - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Play as an unlucky pizza delivery guy in the new horror game, Emily Wants to Play, released on Steam last week. Emily Wants To Play promises to scare and has been exploding on social media with videos of players jumping out of their seats in fear. Some players even claim to have broken their equipment after throwing off headphones and knocking over microphones in reaction to the scares of the game. Enjoy this new scary game on your Mac or PC for only $4.99.

Walker, Louisiana - Emily Wants To Play, a new scary game developed by Shawn Hitchcock, was recently released and rose to the top 20 horror games on Steam. Within a few days, social media exploded with thousands of Youtube videos popping up, showing players jumping out of their seats playing the new spooky game. Some players even claim to have broken their equipment such as: headphones, microphones and keyboards while reacting to some of the scary events.

Players take control of a pizza delivery guy who gets trapped in Emily's house during the night. Creeping around the house are a few dolls and a little girl named Emily. These spooky residents proclaim that they "just want to play"; however, their games are anything, but friendly. Little does the pizza guy know, these dolls and Emily place delivery orders for things like pizza to get new playmates to the house. Once their unsuspecting victim reaches the residence, they figure out a way to lock them inside and begin to play their games with them.

Each hour of the night, the dolls attack in different combinations. Ultimately players will face off with Emily and the dolls in the finale. Each doll behaves differently. The player must figure out their behavior and how to overcome their attack. For example, one doll eerily stalks you through the house. She moves around, closing doors, turning out lights and waiting for the opportune time to attack. The players never seem to see her, until she has snuck up behind them. Turning around to see the creeping doll following them, really makes players uneasy.

Pricing and Availability:
Emily Wants To Play can be purchased on Steam for only $4.99 (USD). It is compatible with Mac and PC.

Kid-Do Timeline, the Groundbreaking Routine Assistant Now Updated - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gepemat LLC has released Kid-Do Timeline 2.0, an update to their children's lifestyle app for iOS and Android devices. Kid-Do Timeline makes schedules and routines accessible and fun for kids, which turns events like bedtime and getting ready for school from a stressful ordeal, into a smooth operation for everyone - including proud and relieved parents. Daily tasks that kids usually avoid become a game they are eager to participate in. The groundbreaking app has been updated with sound.

New York, New York - As almost every parent has experienced, telling young children to "finish playing in 10 minutes" or there are "only 5 more minutes until bedtime" can be frustrating for everyone. While parents might feel their children are uncooperative, the concept of time itself is too abstract for young children to understand. Fortunately, this obstacle can be effectively and enjoyably overcome thanks to the recently updated app Kid-Do Timeline.

Developed by Gepemat LLC and available for Android, iPhone and now iPad, Kid-Do Timeline is a groundbreaking app that displays the passing of time in a child-friendly way. Horizontal bars of color - "Activity Timelines" - move from right to left across the screen, simply illustrating time passing as children fulfill given activities and routines. Caregivers can easily set up daily and weekly routines on the timeline with pre-programmed activities represented by colorful and easy-to-identify illustrations. Activities include daily such tasks as "brush your teeth" or "put your shoes on".

Kid-Do allows kids to easily see, understand and appreciate:
* All of their upcoming activities, which are clearly lined up end-to-end
* How much time has progressed for each activity
* How much time remains for each activity
* How much time remains until the end of a routine
* When a routine is complete

What's more, each Activity Timeline is set against appealing landscapes and cozy rooms, which change as time unfolds. This creates a warm and engaging experience for children, who naturally learn better and faster as they are enjoying themselves. Daily tasks that kids usually avoid become a game they are eager to participate in. The latest version of Kid-Do Timeline now includes exceptional sound as well, which enhances the overall experience and adds to the fun.

Other Kid-Do Timeline special features include:
* The option for children to swipe their screen and see the next activity - which is a potent source of motivation to usher them through tasks they don't enjoy
* Over 50 built-in activities to choose from in 5 categories: "meals," "getting ready," "bathroom/washing up," "bedtime," and "other activities"
* The option to create an unlimited number of custom activities outside the array of pre-programmed choices
* The option to pre-set run days and times and receive notifications before routines begin
* A "quick routine" feature that's ideal for spontaneous or unplanned activities
* The option to pause or rearrange activities
* No ads or in-app purchases of any kind

"We're parents with small children, and we developed the Kid-Do Timeline for our kids, because we saw them struggle to manage their time," commented the app's creators. "Whether getting them through their morning routines or sending them off to sleep, the Kid-Do Timeline helps make schedules and routines accessible and fun for kids, and helps them understand that the less time they waste now, means more time doing what they like later!"

In addition to assisting younger children in understanding time, the timeline is also effective for other children who struggle to manage time, stay focused on the task at hand, and/or stick to routines.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 87.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Kid-Do Timeline 2.0, the groundbreaking activity routine assistant for parents that is now updated with sound, is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Tracker Buttons Lets Users Easily Track Virtually Any Aspect of Life - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TrackerButtons has released Tracker Buttons Pro 1.4, an update to their popular productivity app developed for iOS devices. Tracker Buttons by TrackerButtons lets users quickly create three types of buttons - count, value, and duration - to track and manage various activities of their life. The new no-cost app also features tagging, overviews, enhanced privacy, usage history, and more. Version 1.4 updates the minimum iOS version required to 8.0 and fixes a rarely occurring bug.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Professionals, organizers, busy moms, students, athletes, and anyone else who wants to easily track and manage virtually any aspect of their life, can now head to the App Store and download the must-have new app Tracker Buttons by TrackerButtons. Available in both a Lite and Pro version, Tracker Buttons lets users quickly create three types of buttons to track and manage various activities: COUNT, DURATION and VALUE:

* The COUNT button lets users count anything they wish, so they'll always exactly know - rather than have to guess - how many times they've completed an activity. For example, users can count how many times they've exercised, how many glasses of water they've drunk, and so on.

* The DURATION button functions like a stopwatch, and lets users track the time spent on any activity. For example, users can precisely track how long they've spent surfing the web, watching TV, speaking on the phone with friends or customers, and so on. Clicking the button starts the timer, while clicking it again stops the timer.

* The VALUE button lets users associate a specific custom value (i.e. number) with an activity, and then keep track of that value on an ongoing basis. For example, users can associate the value "200" with their favorite Starbucks beverage to denote the number of calories. Then every time they drink one, they simply input the item/value pair (e.g. "Frappucino" + "200"), tap the VALUE button, and easily keep track of the calories on an ongoing basis. Or, users can simply re-name the VALUE button itself (i.e. change it to "Frappucino") and tap it each time.

At the same time, Tracker Button's user interface, layout and color scheme are all designed to enhance clarity. As such, there is no clutter or information overload, despite the fact that the app can store and track an enormous amount of data.

Other Tracker Buttons special features include:
* The option to add 5 different types of information to each button/activity: Text Note, Audio, Video, Picture, Location, and Alarm
* A helpful "Summary" function on the home page, that displays a brief calculation of activities associated with values; Users can modify this display to see totals over a period of time (e.g. day, week, month), as well as identify averages over a period of time
* A special "Privacy" button that lets users mark certain activities as confidential or sensitive; Once toggled, access to such activities and any association information is only available to users who have the passcode; Users can also hide/un-hide private buttons (un-hiding requires the passcode)
* The option to review usage history (date, time, added tags, button information), which can be exported as a comma delimited zipped file
* The option to change button colors, styles and shapes

"Sometimes, life can be difficult to manage and keep in control - there are only so many hours in a day to get everything done," commented a spokesperson from TrackerButtons. "The good news, however, is that Tracker Buttons makes it easy for users to track almost any aspect of their life. It's extremely flexible, very powerful, and yet incredibly simple!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 6.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tracker Buttons Pro 1.4 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Tracker Buttons Lite (Ad Supported) is also available at no-cost from the App Store.

Introducing MetroKit 2 - A flexible and customizable metronome for OS X - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Nikolas Konstantakopoulos from Granny's Audio, has announced MetroKit 2, a flexible metronome suitable to practice any instrument. Equipped with speed & rhythm trainers, fully customizable beats and accents, and a new unique feature "Track Mode", it can create from simple exercises to the most demanding progressive rhythmic practice exercises. Supporting custom beat divisions, MetroKit 2 can help even the most demanding musicians to go a step further.

Rethymno, Greece - Indie developer, Nikolas Konstantakopoulos from Granny's Audio, has announced MetroKit 2, a flexible metronome suitable to practice any instrument. Equipped with speed & rhythm trainers, fully customizable beats and accents, and a new unique feature "Track Mode," it can create from simple exercises to the most demanding progressive rhythmic practice exercises. Supporting custom beat divisions, MetroKit 2 can help even the most demanding musicians to go a step further.

MetroKit 2, is an advanced metronome, with lots of new and extra features. It includes 3 modes, "Simple," "Trainer" and "Track."

Simple Mode:
Just set a tempo, time signature and practice over it. You can also set a bar limit, that stops MetroKit when it is reached, in order to practice over specific time.

Trainer Mode:
Speed - Practice your speed and rhythm. Set a starting tempo and a goal tempo, and the increase (or decrease) steps

Rhythm:
MetroKit includes a Rhythm Trainer, that mutes it after a specific number of bars for a user set number of bars e.g. hearing 3 bars and mute 1.
Train your rhythm stability and perception.

The trainers can work together for more difficult rhythm and speed practicing.

Track Mode:
To fully customize your practice, MetroKit introduces a "Track" mode. There, you can add sessions to you overall practice that each one start after the other. For example:

1. Start with a warm up session of a low 90 BPM and simple 4/4 rhythm for 64 bars.
2. Continue with a speed training session to advance the tempo e.g. advance 5 BPM every 4 bars until it reaches 140.
3. Add a rhythm training for 32 bars.
4. Rest for 16 bars at a low tempo practice.
5. etc.

Each session can be a "simple mode" session or a "trainer mode" session.

Extra Features:
* The tempo ranges from a very low 30 BPM to a very fast 480
* Time signature can be up to 32 / 32nds with a lot of variations (9/8, 11/16, 7/4 etc.)
* Every beat can have up to 9 subdivisions allowing very complex rhythms

Every beat's subdivisions are independent, meaning on a 4/4 rhythm, the first beat can have 4 subdivisions (16ths) the second one 5 subdivisions, the third 1(just a quarter note) and so on.

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.6.6 or later
* 34.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MetroKit 2.0.4 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Music category. For any problems with the applications, feature suggestions, collaborations proposals or just to say hi, we are happy to hear from you!
