			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alexandria, Virginia &#8211; Vito Technology, award-winning education software developer is launching Solar Walk Educators Program, a collaboration project for educators and tech professionals aimed at exchange of experience and materials to enhance scientific classroom with new media. Famous for its stellar Star Walk Astronomy Guide and 3D Solar System model apps for iOS, Vito Technology is calling for educators all over the world to voice their opinions in exchange for free inApps. </p>
<p>As many parents and teachers had claimed before, Solar Walk is quite useful when it comes to explaining astronomy to children. A handy alternative to papier-mache balls, Solar Walk &#8220;gives your students a realistic look at the Solar System&#8221;, says iPad Curriculum. </p>
<p>Solar Walk is an interactive 3D Solar System model with 10 planets (including a dwarf planet Pluto), 20 moons of the planets, 10 satellites orbiting the Earth, over 100 of the biggest stars, and hundreds of named places on the Moon, Mars, Earth and Venus. The Time Machine feature lets users speed up time backwards or forwards, moving planets and satellites according to their real trajectories. </p>
<p>Solar Walk Educators Program is an effort to collect and share accumulated materials, ideas and lesson plans that could help teachers complement their lessons with advances of modern technology. </p>
<p>Both Star Walk and Solar Walk have been honored with a 2012 Academics&#8217; Choice Smart Media Award, a prestigious seal of educational quality, reserved only for the best mind-building media. Both apps will be presented at the upcoming ISTE conference in San Antonio, TX.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you a fan of the CSI or NCIS TV series? Imagine yourself in the role of one of their forensic investigators.. Now imagine yourself working as a real forensic investigator, performing real-world investigation on a military-grade conspiracy. Yes, in the real world! Rui Curado, CEO and owner of Isomeris is proud to announce the upcoming release of Mark Lane's Logs: Project H.U.M.A.N. Your challenge is to find the truth. Replicate his mission, find what he found and live the adventure he lived.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lisbon, Portugal &#8211; Mark Lane&#8217;s Logs: Project H.U.M.A.N. redefines the way you play a game. It does not run on software. There&#8217;s no traditional App or software you need to download and run to play. This game runs on evidence, on your brain. A SMS message from Mark Lane is all you start with. From there, you&#8217;ll have to replicate his mission, find what he found, and live the adventure he lived. You&#8217;re on your own. All you have is your own device. You must set your methods, your pace, your tools.</p>
<p>Each piece of evidence you find helps you discover a part of the story, solve a problem or riddle, leading to more evidence, and making you progress in the game. You are not trapped in a sandbox provided by some software that tells you what you can and can&#8217;t do. Your challenge is to find the truth. And the truth is somewhere out there, on the Internet. The Internet is millions of times bigger than a computer game sandbox. Are you up to the challenge?</p>
<p>The game is the first real-world forensic adventure. You might find some answers on a news story on CNN or on the New York Times. Something about a real company or real person might help you proceed. The President might be involved. It&#8217;s so intertwined with reality you&#8217;ll be left wondering if it didn&#8217;t really happen.</p>
<p>The story: Mark Lane, retired CIA agent, is forced to carry out one last mission: dismantle an elusive terrorist organization, infiltrated in the American military, and the CIA. A swarm-type device is being developed, right under DoD&#8217;s nose. An attack on US soil is imminent. Mark carries out a solo worldwide intelligence mission to eliminate this threat. However, he finds more than he expected. He finds a secret society. He finds himself in the middle of a federal conspiracy to steal the Pentagon&#8217;s ultimate weapon. He is betrayed by those he trusted and is set to die as a traitor to the USA. He dodges his destiny by escaping, but is fiercely hunted down. He has nowhere to go. You&#8217;re Mark&#8217;s last hope. He left a trail of evidence that you must uncover. Find out what happened, collect enough evidence, and bring the case to justice.</p>
<p>You join this game as a CIA OIG FIB forensic investigator. CIA&#8217;s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is the entity that oversees CIA&#8217;s activities. The OIG has recently created the Forensic Investigation Bureau (FIB). The FIB lets members of the general public, like you, help OIG&#8217;s efforts by providing credible evidence to open a formal investigation and bring new cases to the supreme court. You&#8217;ll be competing with many other OIG FIB investigators. Only the best will make the Agency&#8217;s Top Forensic Investigators Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>What will you find? First, you&#8217;ll find Mark Lane&#8217;s logs: Timed, situated, concise reports of everything Mark did and his interactions with other people. Then, you&#8217;ll find photos. Yes, Mark took many photos during his mission. You&#8217;ll be able to see what he saw, what he did, what he found, as if you were there too. You&#8217;ll also find documents, old and new, strange objects, bizarre-looking symbols, and many other stuff you must deal with. In the middle, you&#8217;ll have to apply your skills to investigate and complete Mark&#8217;s own findings, solve his own puzzles and riddles, understand clues, connect the dots. You must organize your findings, take notes, search, connect, locate, solve, think, and ultimately report back to CIA&#8217;s OIG FIB. The more evidence you collect, the higher you will score.</p>
<p>Because there is no game software to run, there are no system requirements: You can play on any Mac, iPad or iPhone with Internet access. Any version of OS X or iOS is compatible, although OS X is recommended.</p>
<p>Besides being a game, it&#8217;s also a fiction novel. The game&#8217;s spinal cord are Mark&#8217;s logs: He has left a first-person view of the whole story. These logs are chained and laid out in a narrative style. Even if you don&#8217;t progress much in the game, you can still enjoy Mark Lane&#8217;s Logs : Project H.U.M.A.N. as a traditional fiction novel.</p>
<p>The game is scheduled for launch on September 27, 2013. Follow the game on Indie DB. For additional information and press materials, please visit website or contact Rui Curado.</p>

<p>Zorean is the brainchild of Rui Curado, CEO and owner of Isomeris, a software development tools vendor. It&#8217;s a family business, if fact. The two-and-a-half team is currently working on both sides until growth becomes possible. Up to three other people are collaborating on an assignment basis. The idea of creating a game developer spinoff came in 2006, and a domain was purchased, but has been dormant ever since. Four years ago, an idea to build a completely different game sparked the activation of Zorean. With the help of some friends, that idea has now been materialized in the form of Mark Lane&#8217;s Logs: Project H.U.M.A.N. Copyright (C) 2013 Isomeris. All Rights Reserved.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York, New York &#8211; For all game addicts who love Finger slayer, here is a new app that is bigger, better and a lot more engaging. The newest app, Finger Electricute 1.0 is already making waves, and with good reason. The game comes with many advantages like better graphics, multiplayer mode, realistic sound features and a lot more and will truly test your reaction time.</p>
<p>Finger Electricute is most thrilling reaction time game specially designed for iPhone. It tests the player&#8217;s reaction time by trying to evade getting their fingers electricuted, hence the name. It comes with an endless game mode, realistic sound effects, Facebook sharing to receive bonuses and the ability to unlock new and exciting rooms and different electric chairs. It has an exclusive multiplayer mode added and allows users to compete against their friends to feel challenged over Bluetooth; and all this for free!</p>
<p>Finger Electricute is one of the best games to pass free time. Not only is it fun and thrilling, the fact that it tests reaction time helps sharpen and hone senses. It tests the reflexes of the players, making it a great way to stay sharp and focused even when doing something fun. What makes it a lot more fun is the fact that multiplayer mode gives this game an edge and makes it a lot more engaging and interactive. It is also possible to show off scores on Facebook and create a record of who among all friends have the best reaction time!</p>
<p>&#8220;To play the game simply place your 2 fingers on two chair handles and wait for 3, 2, 1 &amp; Go count. After Go count remove your fingers as soon as the electricity starts running! The longer you wait till the electricity is running, the higher the score. Also if you remove your finger too early then the game ends so timing is essential,&#8221; says the developer. &#8220;Since the multiplayer mode is free, it is a great way to spend some quality time with friends doing something fun and thrilling. Automatically find and play against other Finger Electricute fans over Bluetooth, and see who has the faster reflex. While most apps charge for the multiplayer mode, we have made it free with Finger Electricute so that you have a lot more opportunities to enjoy the game while also sharpen your skills.&#8221;</p>

<p>Durnk Porduction started as a small project, we joined to give the world simple yet brilliant apps. As the market capabilities grow, we started investing as much time we have in this project. Most of our apps are lifestyle category (because drinking is kind of lifestyle) and we thought of having really simple apps. But at this time this is not what market wants. So, in less than 2 months we started working on complicated combined web and social media iOS apps that are yet simple to use. And with great success! Great part of experience we developed was working with mobile advertising and social media advertising. We&#8217;re not experts yet, but have learned valuable lessons in real time and would be glad to share it with fellow developers. Copyright (C) 2011 Drunk Porductions. All Rights Reserved.

		<description><![CDATA[With an epidemic of teen suicides in America due to bullying, Khamicon Entertainment will launch a crowdfunding comic book and app project that hopes to change the way victims look at bullycide. Inspired by the 2012 story of Felicia Garcia, a fifteen year-old girl who died at her own hand in front of classmates at a Staten Island train station due to her experience with bullying at Tottenville High School, Khamicom owner, Damon Smith, hopes to present a different message about handling bullying.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los Angeles, California &#8211; Inspired by the 2012 story of Felicia Garcia, a fifteen year-old girl who died at her own hand in front of classmates at a Staten Island train station due to her experience with bullying at Tottenville High School, Khamicom owner, Damon Smith, hopes to present a different message about handling bullying.</p>
<p>Creating the movement Mind Over Bullies (MOB), the new comic book will hopefully help readers consider the many ways to handle a bullying situation without using violence or reaching a point of despair that will lead them to consider ending their own life.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want kids to use their wit, intelligence and skills to handle their difficulties,it&#8217;s literally, mind over bullies &#8211; it&#8217;s just a new state of mind,&#8221; said Smith. &#8220;Tablets and mobile devices are the direction entertainment has gone in so we know that in order to reach our target audience with the series that we have to make content for those mediums,&#8221; added Smith.</p>
<p>Focused on creativity that benefits children, teens and young adults, the entertainment company&#8217;s first venture was the highly successful &#8220;Sock n Boots&#8221; adventure series. &#8220;Basically we started with one story and then graduated to apps and comic books,&#8221; said Smith. &#8220;We plan to do the same here and can only hope that this newest venture will be as successful as our last.&#8221;</p>
<p>Creating a brand that lends itself to anti-bullying, the Indiegogo campaign will support the series launch about six multi-racial teen characters. Very intentionally, the characters are without invincible superhuman ability and are everyday teens who decide to stand up to bullies in their high school.</p>
<p>Studies show that the cure for bullying is the strength of numbers &#8211; hence, the six brave teens banding together to make a change as the MOB. Additionally, the series will highlight the fact that bullying victims need to see their aggressors as having a terrible flaw they are in need of covering in themselves.</p>
<p>Keeping attention on cyber bullying and the exploitation of kids who are on the fray of the &#8220;in crowd,&#8221; Smith hopes to incorporate a free app that will feature the MOB animated cartoon web series. The app will be produced and released should the company reach their funding goal.</p>
<p>For more information or to make a pledge when the project goes live, visit their Indiegogo campaign.</p>

<p>Khamicom&#8217;s goal is to inspire young minds and open the doors to expression through reading. After having an influx of newborns brought into my life in 2011 (three neices and one nephew), creator, Damon Smith was inspired to do all that he could to see that their young minds were stimulated. Thus far the results have been the creation of two loveable pieces of footwear (Sock and his best friend Boots) as the main characters in a new children&#8217;s book series &#8220;Sock n Boots.&#8221; Khamicom will continue to find new ways to reach young people with entertaining ideas that make a difference.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Puchheim, Germany &#8211; Boinx Software is pleased to receive outstanding marks on the latest updates to its classroom-friendly products iStopMotion for iPad 2.1 and BoinxTV 1.9. iStopMotion for iPad 2.1 now offers support for WebDAV servers and also features push notifications for its Theater of user-generated content. BoinxTV 1.9 is now compatible with OS X Mountain Lion and has been updated to offer greater stability, especially when working in Layers. iStopMotion for iPad will be featured at the International Society for Technology in Education Conference (ISTE), which will be held in San Antonio, Texas from June 23 to June 26. Attendees to the ISTE show can see the app in action as well as learn more about Boinx&#8217;s other apps including BoinxTV and FotoMagico in Hall D at booth 4281.</p>
<p>&#8220;At Boinx, we strive to develop apps that are both comprehensive enough for the working professional yet easy enough for students at all levels. I feel it&#8217;s so important for students to have access to professional tools, as it gives them the opportunity to explore advanced technology in an educational setting,&#8221; says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO, Boinx Software. &#8220;It is really amazing to see what students are capable of creating with our software, and we&#8217;re really proud that teachers have embraced iStopMotion, iStopMotion for iPad and BoinxTV. From the beginning, iStopMotion for iPad was designed with education in mind. When it comes to students, instant gratification is so important. Students are more likely to stick with a task if they can see immediate results, safely make mistakes, and achieve something they may have never deemed possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>With iStopMotion for iPad, Learning is Fun:<br />
With the iPad becoming more and more prevalent in the classroom, iStopMotion for iPad is the perfect tool to help make learning a fun and immersive experience. The latest update to the app makes it possible to collect content from multiple iPads on a WebDAV server, eliminating the need for cloud-based services like YouTube or Dropbox, which are often restricted in schools. Students can now more easily collaborate on stop motion and timelapse video projects, strengthening teamwork and storytelling skills.</p>
<p>Show-and-Tell With iStopMotion for iPad:<br />
Students and teachers alike can take a tip (or three or four) from the Animation Chefs, who run a web series dedicated to teaching people, young and old, the art of animating. iStopMotion for iPad is one of the Chefs&#8217; favorite tools; they tell us:</p>
<p>&#8220;[iStopMotion] takes full advantage of the iPad&#8217;s simplicity and tactility. The light bulbs go off over [students'] heads when they get how expressive they can be with their imagination. Visual storytelling is not something they&#8217;ve ever been taught or planned out with a camera. They can write stories. They can speak stories. Now they can show stories. Anything they can think of is possible! Powerful stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cody Creed, an art teacher from Manitoba, Canada, has been using iStopMotion for years to enhance the learning curriculum. In the past, he had students use the Mac version to create animated public service announcements to spread awareness about clean water in India. They held a community fundraiser where the classes premiered their films and raised over $2,000 to fund the building of two wells in Andhra Pradesh. Creed also uses iStopMotion for iPad for less complex tasks. When his students are learning about the solar system, he has them animate planetary motions and retrograde epicycles. He tells us, &#8220;It makes so much more sense when they see an hour of small motions sped up, becoming repeated patterns. It is great to tell them that the ancient astronomers could only observe and imagine the motion. They lacked the technology to recreate it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Becoming an iStopMotion for iPad Pro:<br />
The iPad is a phenomenal tool for learning and practicing photography, movie making and storytelling. The device is both powerful and easy to use. Students and teachers can sharpen their iStopMotion for iPad skills with iPad Animation by Craig Lauridsen, which instructs on how to make stop motion animation movies on the iPad by combining iStopMotion for iPad, GarageBand and iMovie. The guide offers everything from the stop motion basics to comprehensive tips and tricks that cover camera settings, lighting, picture composition, frame rates, stabilizing rigs and more. iPad Animation also includes lesson plans to help teachers get a jumpstart on using iStopMotion for iPad in the classroom.</p>
<p>iPad Animation by Craig Lauridsen will be available soon on the iBooks Store. For more information on obtaining a review copy, members of the media can request more information by contacting Megan Linebarger.</p>
<p>Students Broadcasting Students Through the Power of BoinxTV:<br />
Boinx Software&#8217;s studio-in-a-Mac program BoinxTV also just received a tune-up, graduating to version 1.9. Highly popular with educators, many schools worldwide use BoinxTV to broadcast their own student-produced news programs. The application is now OS X Mountain Lion compatible and allows users to preview productions using full Retina Display resolution for more accurate renderings and a better user experience. Boinx also replaced JavaScript with Lua in Layers for improved stability and completely rewrote the Audio Engine for better performance, higher quality and less latency. Best of all, BoinxTV now has new Wiki Documentation to help users learn the ins and outs of the program.</p>
<p>Learn more about how educators can use BoinxTV in school.</p>
<p>Book a Press Meeting:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eugene, Oregon &#8211; A unique and valuable fitness tool is scheduled for immediate release, MiFitLife 1.1 for the iPhone. MiFitLife provides users with a highly personal lifetime fitness guide of appropriate and progressive physical activity. It calculates the optimal amount of physical activity they should engage in each week as determined by their body&#8217;s ability to use oxygen. By participating in any physical activity, from A to Z, Aerobics to Zumba, individuals of all fitness levels, ages, shapes, and sizes will no longer need additional motivation to incorporate physical activity as a consistent, intelligent, and enjoyable part of their life.</p>
<p>Employing over four decades of scientific research and in-field testing, MiFitLife is the first app to assign a completely individualized fitness program according to one&#8217;s ability to use oxygen. After users answer a simple 17-question health profile, the app applies patented regression formulas to accurately calculate their ability to use oxygen (VO2Max) and perform physical activity. The person&#8217;s weekly activity goal and the pace of their flexible 13-week program is determined by their VO2Max, their support system, their time available, and their previous week&#8217;s activity. Using the app to record physical activity, MiFitLife reports how many VO2 Points the participant earns towards achieving their weekly fitness goal. Moreover, the app grants users a week of relaxation and recovery at the end of each 13-week program and even accounts for periods of relapse. Simple to use, strikingly personalized, and unbelievably accurate, MiFitLife brushes aside generic, one-dimensional exercise programs and provides a unique fitness experience that users can trust for a lifetime.</p>
<p>MiFitLife was developed by Dr. Richard Brown, PhD- exercise physiologist, high school and college teacher, fitness guidance counselor, and coach of 7 Olympic athletes. &#8220;Developing MiFitLife has been a process that&#8217;s taken years to perfect,&#8221; says Dr. Brown. &#8220;While many fitness apps claim to give users a personalized exercise guide, MiFitLife is the only program that uses science, practical experience, and patented regression formulas to produce a program that is not only accurate, effective, and easy to follow, but unique to each individual. We believe that the key to maintaining one&#8217;s health is physical activity &#8211; the real miracle drug. MiFitLife presents users with a simple physical activity program that can be done consistently.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vancouver, Canada &#8211; Bluezbox Software today is pleased to announce Text2Epub 1.1 for Mac OS X, an update to its utility application that offers drag n&#8217; drop conversion of plain text documents into the EPUB file format. EPUB files are especially designed to accommodate eBook publishing, and they are easily displayed on a wide variety of readers, computers, and mobile devices. The app is ideal for self-publishing, and it offers fast, high-quality conversion with user selectable meta-data, font, source encoding, book cover, and export to the iTunes eBook Library. The update adds Russian-language localization.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Convert plain text (.txt) to EPUB (.epub)<br />
* Fast and high-quality conversion<br />
* Set cover image for EPUB<br />
* Supports 36 encodings<br />
* Embed one of 6 fonts<br />
* Automatically add EPUB books to iTunes </p>
<p>The explosive growth of Kindles, Nooks, iPads, and other eReaders has conclusively demonstrated the acceptance of eBooks by publishers and consumers. Text2Epub allows users to drag any manuscript in plain text format (.txt) onto the application&#8217;s simple control window, click Convert, and quickly produce a file (.epub) ready for online distribution. </p>
<p>The EPUB standard was carefully designed for interoperability between dozens of readers, computers, and mobile devices. Specifically, &#8220;EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display device. EPUB also supports fixed-layout content. The format is intended as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale. It supersedes the Open eBook standard,&#8221; according to Wikipedia.</p>
<p>Users of Text2Epub simply drag n&#8217; drop their plain text file into the TXT window. Users may also drag n&#8217; drop a graphic into the EPUB Cover window. Next, users may enter the author&#8217;s name and the book&#8217;s title into the appropriate fields. Font choices include: None (default), Charis, DejaVu Serif, Droid Serif, Linux Libertine, PT Sans, and PT Serif. Finally, users may choose any one of the Mac&#8217;s 36 Source Encodings, including: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Cyrillic, etc. A checkbox stores the finished title in the iTunes eBook Library.</p>
<p>&#8220;Convert plain text manuscripts, reports, letters, notes, lists, and messages to the EPUB file format,&#8221; stated Oleksandr Tymoshenko of Bluezbox Software. &#8220;Now you can read eBooks and documents anywhere, and gain complete control over text &#8211; font size, font style, and more.&#8221;</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
* English and Russian</p>
<p>System Requirements:<br />
* Mac OS X 10.7 or later<br />
* 64-bit processor<br />
* 8.1 MB</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sydney, Australia &#8211; Cocorico, Languages for Kids today is pleased to introduce Coco &amp; Francois 1.0 for iPad, its integrated suite of three interactive vocabulary games for kids 2-7, which helps them gain mastery of their native language and foreign languages too. Kids can enjoy gameplay in any one of 6 languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Mandarin, and Arabic, and hearing them aloud, kids effortlessly learn the words for farm animals, sea creatures, and common actions. Hosted by the animated characters Coco the Rooster and Francois the Snail, each of the three games has three levels of difficulty. Featuring dynamic, realistic graphics and animation, Coco &amp; Francois 1.0 for iPad engages young players through sound, sight, and touch.</p>
<p>Coco &amp; Francois includes three different learning games, Catch Coco! (learn animal names), Fishing! (learn the names of sea creatures), and Action! (learn the names of actions). In each game, players hear the word as they touch the screen, learning as they play. At each level of play, the vocabulary words remain the same, but an additional challenge is added in the form of game-related manual tasks necessary to complete each level, increasing their facility with each word.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Coco &amp; Francois 1.0 for iPad includes 3 games for kids 2-7<br />
* Each game has 3 levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard<br />
* Kids can play each game and level while hearing the words aloud in any of 6 different languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Mandarin, and Arabic<br />
* Players can master the vocabulary of their native language or multiple languages<br />
* Always fun to play, these educational games are non-competitive</p>
<p>There are many educational apps that help young children learn their native language. And Coco &amp; Francois, with native speakers, ingenious interactive games, multiple playing levels, and physics-enhanced graphics and animation, is one of the best. But Coco &amp; Francois is also among the very few apps that capitalize on the natural joy and enthusiasm preschoolers have for learning language, by exposing them to two or more languages simultaneously, within the same context. For example, a native English speaker can play one of the app&#8217;s vocabulary games in English, and then play the same game, with all the same graphics and animation, in French. Naturally and without strain, kids soak up both versions of the same game, such that the two versions become equivalent. This fundamental approach is the key to language acquisition as play, rather than work.</p>
<p>Neuroscientists have confirmed that from birth to age 7 children assimilate language rapidly and without effort. This window of opportunity closes gradually after age 7, and by puberty, most experts consider it closed. That means that learning a second language is extremely difficult by the time many students begin foreign language study in school. It has also been demonstrated that the brains of bilingual children and adults show many more neuronal interconnections, which gives those individuals much greater flexibility in problem solving.</p>
<p>Coco &amp; Francois are mascots helping to bring the joy of languages to young children. According to their creator, Judith Krieger, &#8220;Coco the rooster is positive, capable and little bit quirky, but endowed with a charming simplicity that will endear him to his preschool fan. Francois the snail has a more complex array of emotions, and is not afraid to show them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 35.2 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Coco &amp; Francois 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam &#8211; Apps Cyclone today introduces Battleship Ocean Islands War, free for iOS, its new, vertical scrolling, spacecraft shoot &#8216;em up. Featuring single or multi-player gameplay, the arcade game allows players to navigate their spacecraft both horizontally and vertically using direct-touch control. Fire control is automatic, as players destroy enemy ships, avoid obstacles, collect coins, earn power-ups, upgrade their spacecraft, and emerge victorious from the boss battle at the end of each level.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Fast-paced vertical scroller with hi-res, Retina-display ready graphics &amp; animation <br />
* Move the spaceship vertically or horizontally by dragging<br />
* Exciting weapons sound f/x and music<br />
* Fire control is automatic and continuous<br />
* 3 different weapons power-ups, 1 defensive power-up, and 1 life power-up<br />
* Single or multi-player gameplay with many playing levels<br />
* Boss battle at the end of each level<br />
* Game Center leaderboards and challenges<br />
* Facebook and Twitter connectivity</p>
<p>Battleship Ocean Islands War is different from most similar games, as the action takes place not in the blackness of space, but a stormy blue atmosphere. Both attacking ships and the player&#8217;s defending ship are relatively large and detailed compared to the attack groups of small fighters found in most STGs. This adds to the game&#8217;s realism and also makes incoming ships obstacles to horizontal movement.</p>
<p>Players can pick up coins in denominations of 10, 50, 100, or 500 by flying through a winged coin icon during battle. Power-ups are gained by flying through one of the golden winged icons during battle. Players can score a powerful missile power-up, which starts firing automatically, in addition to the small bullet-like projectiles that are fired continuously. Other weapons power-ups include a zigzag flying missile and an explosion wheel, a saw-toothed wheel that flies randomly and explodes on contact. Also available via winged icons are a protective shield that allows the player&#8217;s ship to pass unharmed through any obstacle or ship and a new life power-up that can save the player&#8217;s ship when it is destroyed.</p>
<p>There are five different ships available for purchase in the store, each with their own bonuses. Multi-player combatants will definitely want to consider ship upgrades, which also include permanent power-ups.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are 2 modes of play: Single and Multi. With Multi mode, users can compete with other players all around the world,&#8221; commented Tuan Nguyen of Apps Cyclone. The game makes it easy to invite Facebook friends and start an awesome tournament.&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 50.7 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Battleship Ocean Islands War 1.1 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Coins, redeemable for optional power-up and ship upgrades, can be earned through gameplay or obtained through an in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bath, United Kingdom &#8211; Nathan Randle, independent developer of the popular International Space Station tracking app Sat Seeker today announces a competition to celebrate the app&#8217;s first anniversary since launch.</p>
<p>Sat Seeker 1.5.3 allows users to track the International Space Station&#8217;s position over the earth in real time and gives details of upcoming visible passes. To remind users of passes it can also send push notifications shortly before a pass is due to occur so that they don&#8217;t need to make any extra effort to remember the very specific timings involved.</p>
<p>The app has been well received since its launch in June 2012. Thousands of users have been able to enjoy the wonder of watching a spacecraft fly above them, something that many were unaware was even possible before discovering Sat Seeker. The app also made an appearance in the UK App Store top 20 chart of all apps. Phillip Schofield a prominent british celebrity &amp; regular ISS spotter has endorsed the app to his greater than 2 million Twitter followers on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>&#8220;There has been a massive resurgence in interest in space and particularly the International Space Station over recent months&#8221; said Nathan Randle. &#8220;I believe much of this is down the amazing work of Commander Chris Hadfield during his International Space Station mission which has rekindled people&#8217;s interest and imagination. I hope this continues and through apps like Sat Seeker we&#8217;re making space even more accessible to everyone.&#8221;</p>
<p>To help expand the app&#8217;s social media presence and as part of the anniversary celebration, Sat Seeker is running a competition for one of their fans on Facebook or followers on Twitter to win an iPad mini. Details of how to enter the competition can be found at Sat Seeker online.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[AppBrains introduces Gym Genius 1.0.3 for iOS. Gym Genius, a new app for iPhone that targets the specific needs of intermediate to advanced weight lifters, aims to make workout tracking and performance improvement easier than ever before. The app focussed on features that directly contribute to actual progress, and making these best in class. The app features fast and simple data entry, automatic personal record tracking, display of previous lifts with each workout, and more.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>London, United Kingdom &#8211; AppBrains introduces Gym Genius 1.0.3 for iOS. The developers of Gym Genius say that the app is aimed squarely at intermediate to advanced lifters.</p>
<p>&#8220;Beginners will be focussed on learning new exercises and routines but once they are comfortable with this, workout tracking becomes important. Tracking ensures every workout counts and that every exercise is performed with maximum effort. That&#8217;s where Gym Genius comes in. Whether targeting weight loss or muscle gain, Gym Genius helps lifters monitor progress, stay motivated and hit goals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gym Genius provides key information and tracking features in an easy to use format.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Fast and simple data entry<br />
* Automatic personal record tracking<br />
* Display of previous lifts with each workout<br />
* Ability to change workouts on the go and add sets, reps or exercises, as desired<br />
* Detailed and interactive graphs of individual exercises sets, reps and weight<br />
* Body weight and body fat tracking</p>
<p>The developers started work on Gym Genius after finding that other trackers for weight lifting routines were too complicated to use in the gym. They aim to differentiate the app by focussing on features that directly contribute to actual progress, and making these best in class.</p>
<p>One such example is the tracking screen, which they say they went to great lengths to perfect. &#8220;We built and field tested several versions of the tracking screen before we arrived at what you see now. We gave the same kind of attention to every screen in the app. We think we&#8217;ve built the easiest tracker on the market, it&#8217;s unobtrusive and data entry is effortless and allows lifters to focus on what&#8217;s important, that is, training and results!&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later<br />
* 10.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Gym Genius 1.0.3 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Health &amp; Fitness category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cork, Ireland &#8211; Cyber Dog introduces Zeami 1.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. How about trying out a completely new brain challenging logic game you have never seen before? Well, Zeami is definitely the number one option to take a look at this summer!!</p>
<p>Zeami consists of 30 levels, providing a gradually increasing complexity of pattern making. The reward system of stars means you can challenge yourself to complete the level in as few moves as possible. For even greater challenge, you can always switch to the Time Attack Mode and train your speed of reaction.</p>
<p>The goal of the game is deceptively simple: Twist hexagons to arrange colours in a specific pattern. The ?peep? displays at the bottom of the screen details the appropriate pattern. Good logical imagination and a bit of madness are necessary to complete all the levels correctly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>London, United Kingdom &#8211; Alakazapps! announces an amazing new Augmented Reality magic trick app for iPhone and iPad. Magic Sword AR 1.0 combines a clever magic secret and visually stunning Augmented Reality to deliver a magic trick like you&#8217;ve never seen before.</p>
<p>After having a playing card chosen, the magician introduces an unusual looking card containing all the numbers and suits available in a standard deck of playing cards. In the centre of the unusual card is an illustration of a sword. When this &#8216;sword card&#8217; is viewed through the Magic Sword AR camera view, the sword illustration comes to life in full 3D.</p>
<p>Magically floating around the deck, the sword points to the suit, and then the number of the chosen playing card. As one final act of magic, the sword rises up before slicing through the deck.</p>
<p>Fanning through the deck of cards, one card is physically punctured &#8211; the spectators chosen playing card.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been working professionally in the field of Augmented Reality for four years, and magic for over a decade, combining the two creates a truly memorable piece of magic,&#8221; said Matt Leatherbarrow creator of Alakazapps.</p>
<p>While the illusion looks impossible, learning the secret is made incredibly easy with an innovative step-by-step video instructions system included with the app.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 4, 4S and 5 and all iPads with a camera<br />
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 97.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Magic Sword AR 1.0 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York, New York &#8211; Zaah announces the upcoming release of Beat Blocks for iOS, to be release Summer of 2013. Beat Blocks is a matching puzzle game that utilizes the player&#8217;s own iTunes library. The game will be released for iPhone, iPad and iPod from NYC developer Zaah this summer.</p>
<p>Beat Blocks players line up 3 of the same-color blocks to clear off portions of the level. Levels last for as long as the song the player selects. Beat Blocks comes with four exclusive in-game tracks to play with. Beat Blocks also grants access to the user&#8217;s own iTunes Library, allowing them to access music purchased on iTunes within the Beat Blocks game. Users can also play any music that can be played on an iOS device. This includes music downloaded from Soundcloud, Beatport, Amazon and CDBaby and other digital music websites. Any song that can be played within the iPod app on an iOS device can be played on Beat Blocks.</p>
<p>Beat Blocks joins a popular line of mobile match-3 puzzle games like Candy Crush and Bejeweled but offers a new, unprecedented functionality of using any music to change elements of the player&#8217;s in-game game. For instance, users match up the arrow block with the beat of their music to clear a row, and other specials occur when linking more than 3 blocks. Prism Blocks will then destroy all of the same color on the board and Bomb Blocks which have an explosive surprise. Watch out for Rock Blocks, they require some strategy to be destroyed. Passing a board allows the victor to spin a prize wheel for more goodies like extra points or bonus Beat Bucks. The highest scoring players in Beat Blocks can top the leaderboards on BeatBlocksApp online. There are also Game Center achievements to unlock.</p>
<p>Beat Blocks was shown to the independent development community at the New York Games Forum meetup in March 2013 at Microsoft&#8217;s corporate offices in New York City. Beat Blocks will be free game on the iTunes App Store and will be available worldwide in the Games category in Summer 2013. </p>
<p>Beat Blocks is developed by Zaah, the team behind FPS Russia: The Game, and Techno Kitten Adventure, which features a level with the officially licensed Nyan Cat character. Previews of the application will be available to the press and can be requested by emailing Zaah.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vancouver, Canada &#8211; Tap &#8216;n Cap Apps is extremely proud to introduce their first word game for the iPad: Text Tumble HD 1.0.0. In this jumble-crossword hybrid, the player&#8217;s goal is to guess 15 related words in one of 270 puzzles divided into 18 themes. Sounding deceptively simple, it will still challenge even the most seasoned word game enthusiasts. Humorous and helpful hints are earned by guessing correct words, which can be used for a nudge in the right direction when needed.</p>
<p>The 30 letters shown to the player for each puzzle is all they&#8217;ll need to guess all 15 words, but some of those letters may not be needed. The first 45 puzzles comprised of 650 words are free, including the general knowledge themes Places, Jobs and Sports. A variety of specialty themes can be purchased which raises the number of puzzles to 270, containing 4050 words carefully chosen to balance the difficulty of the game.</p>
<p>Available themes include:<br />
* Places, Jobs, Sports, Activities, Events and Seasons &amp; Holidays<br />
* Cartoons, TV Sitcoms, Comic Strips, Animated Films, Fantasy Films and Sci-Fi Films<br />
* Math &amp; Science, History, Arts, Mobile Games, Characters, and Super Heroes</p>
<p>The first few words of each puzzle are normally easy to guess, but players will rack their brains trying to think of those last few remaining words. To help, the player acquires tokens for every word they get right, which can then be exchanged for a range of hints. Hints include a crossword-style clue, the revealing of the first or last letter of a word, and the expensive &#8216;Reveal All Vowels&#8217;.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* 18 varying themes<br />
* 270 unique puzzles<br />
* 4050 meticulously chosen words<br />
* Players save up tokens to use for hints when stumped<br />
* Easy to learn gameplay with just one simple help page<br />
* Optimized for Retina display<br />
* Fast, simple and clean layout</p>
<p>More theme packs will be added periodically to extend the wide-ranging variety of puzzles. Players can request their favorite ideas for puzzles, and the most asked for will be included in future updates. With an iPhone/iPod version due out soon as well, Text Tumble HD is sure to reinvent the Word Games category.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 23.7 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Text Tumble HD v1.0.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Word Games category.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Exploiting all the usability and power of the iPad, with 'Inside Burgundy: Cote de Nuits' Berry Bros and Rudd Press publish their second beautiful, immersive and interactive eBook. The eBook, created with Apple's iBooks Author program, features videos, photographs, zoomable maps, entirely new plans and profiles of 250 vineyards and 130 wine estates. Published on the iBookstore June 17, it covers the world's most sought-after wines, such as Romanee Conti, Nuits-St-Georges, Richebourg.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>London, United Kingdom &#8211; Critics and eBook buyers were wowed by the first eBook in the Inside Burgundy series: Cote de Beaune. The second title, &#8216;Inside Burgundy: Cote de Nuits&#8217;, launched June 17, has all the lavish interactive elements that made its predecessor a success &#8211; and several new features. It takes readers on an unmatched interactive journey through the heart of Burgundy, the region of France where some of the world&#8217;s most prized wines are made.</p>
<p>The quality of the first BBR Press eBook, Cote de Beaune, was recognized by Apple themselves, which showcased the publication at a London, England, event in January.</p>
<p>Cote de Nuits is launched June 17 and is available on the iBookstore at the special price of $12.99 until June 25. The price thereafter will be $24.99, the same as its companion volume Cote de Beaune.</p>
<p>The eBook is built using Apple&#8217;s iBooks Author program; it can be viewed on any iPad or iPad Mini &#8211; and on a Mac when OS X Mavericks arrives this fall. It is listed on iBookstores in 51 markets worldwide. </p>
<p>Berry Bros and Rudd Press chose the iBooks Author route for creating their eBooks after exhaustive research into eBook options, both creative and routes to market. Says Simon Berry, chairman of BBR Press, &#8220;When Berry Bros. and Rudd Press published Jasper&#8217;s Inside Burgundy, we already realised that the old-tech elegance of the 656-page volume might be complemented by the new-tech world of eBooks. For one thing, two kilos is a little unwieldy if you&#8217;re visiting the vineyards&#8230; </p>
<p>&#8220;For us, using the iBooks Author route allows us to retain quality control, and has let us evolve the title into a very different but equally beautiful product to stand alongside the classic paper version.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jasper Morris, the author, is a Master of Wine and has spent 30 years living and working in Burgundy. For this new eBook he has explored top Grand Cru vineyards on foot to survey them for new, never-before-seen, plans. These interactive plans show precisely where each wine estate has its vines. Readers can tap their iPad screen to zoom in on the plans, and to link directly to the author&#8217;s text on the estates and their wines.</p>
<p>As well as the new plans, the eBook adds superb photography and video clips and zoomable maps. Profiles of the wines domaines, expanded and updated from the printed book, detail vines, wines, techniques and philosophies. There are now 130 profiles &#8211; a dozen entirely new. And there are descriptions and appraisals of 260 vineyards over the eBook&#8217;s 380 pages.</p>
<p>The original hardcover book, which is still in print and on sale for $75/50, has been acclaimed as the definitive reference on this subtle and complex region. With the eBooks, author and publisher have expanded and updated the coverage of the wines and the vineyards, adding valuable interactive features.</p>
<p>Chris Foulkes of Berry Bros. and Rudd Press adds: &#8220;The new videos take the reader into the heart of the grand crus with the author. See just how the soil differs over a ten-yard stretch: a contrast spotted centuries ago by the monks who planted the vineyards. The superb interactive maps show just where each vineyard is, allowing readers to study contour lines and compass direction to discover just why certain plots consistently make superior wines. These innovative maps do much to make clear the complexities of Burgundy.&#8221;</p>

<p>Berry Bros. and Rudd Press was formed by Simon Berry, Chairman of Berry Bros. and Rudd, and Jasper Morris MW to publish &#8216;necessary books&#8217; on wine and kindred subjects. Completing the team are wine-book editors and publishers Chris Foulkes and Carrie Segrave and art director Lizzie Ballantyne. London&#8217;s oldest wine firm: Over 314 years ago, Berry Bros. and Rudd opened its shop at 3 St James&#8217;s Street, opposite St James&#8217;s Palace, where it still stands today. Members of the Berry and Rudd families continue to own and manage the family-run wine merchant, providing the closest link between those who make the wine and those who drink it. The firm may be over three centuries old, but it is at the forefront of e-commerce, having produced the first (1994) and award-winning wine website, an online one-stop shop which includes expert advice from Berry&#8217;s own wine advisors, and the first wine app. Copyright (C) 2013 Berry Bros. and Rudd Press.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stara Zagora, Bulgaria &#8211; You are a fan of the old adventure movie characters like Allan Quatermain, Indiana Jones or Ben Gates from National Treasure? You will most likely enjoy Temple Raider. The game takes you to old forgotten crypts in search of ancient artefacts and treasures. The gameplay presents a comparatively novel and unexploited idea on the App Store of a first person 3D maze presented by a unique story in four Worlds &#8211; Mayan Temples, Egyptian Pyramids, Catacombs and Celtic Chambers.</p>
<p>Narrative, though not entirely comprehensive, provides story based on the most popular theories concerning those lost civilizations as well as some not proven historically hypotheses which leave big spaces for the imagination of the player. The medieval levels present some paranormal legends about haunted castles while the Celtic Chambers world is developing a story based entirely on folklore legends. </p>
<p>The game has no urgency and there is no real way to die or lose any of the collected items. Even if you bump into a poisonous spider, snake or are struck by an ancient curse, you are just placed at the entrance but all things you previously found are still in your possession and all you have to do is find a way around that threat or disable it.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later.<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 287 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Temple Raider sells for $2.99 (USD) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Adventure Games category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>oronezh, Russian Federation &#8211; Indie developer Nikolai Nagornyi today is pleased to introduce File2Folder 1.0 for Mac. File2Folder allows sorting hundreds, or even thousands of files with a single click! Move, copy, or delete files according to user rules.</p>
<p>Every day or from time to time, depending on the style and peculiarities of your work, there are a lot of files to be placed in folders, and some files to be deleted. Manual sorting is a boring and tiresome task that requires perseverance and consumes a significant amount of time. Stop wasting your time! All you need to do is to create appropriate rules and start sorting. The rules that you will create will be saved, and the next time you want to put your Mac in order, all you will have to do is just press a single button! You do not have to move, copy, or delete every single file manually.</p>
<p>As an example, you often work with photos and want to share them with other users of your Mac from time to time. To do this you would have to locate the All Users directory, choose the right user and specify the desired destination folder in his directory. And the process has to be repeated from scratch every time! But thanks to File2Folder, you just need to create a rule and then share your great photos with just one click!</p>
<p>Imagine another interesting scenario: You are working on a project and want to save its copy to an external drive &#8211; at the end of the day, or when a milestone is reached. There is no need to open additional Finder windows; do not drag, copy and paste anything. Just create a rule!</p>
<p>You can think of many other scenarios for File2Folder. You can use it every day, or from time to time, but File2Folder definitely will save you time and hassle.</p>
<p>You can also create rules for semi-automatic sorting. This mode in File2Folder allows you to apply one and the same sorting rule to different folders.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Moving files by the extension (file type)<br />
* Copying files by the extension (file type)<br />
* Deleting files by the extension (file type)<br />
* Moving files by the name or part of the name<br />
* Copying files by the name or part of the name<br />
* Deleting files by the name or part of the name</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
English and Russian</p>
<p>System Requirements:<br />
* Requires Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later<br />
* 2.2 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
File2Folder 1.0 is $5.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Utilites category.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Naxx Technologies today announces Voice Morphing 2.0 for iOS, a major update to its app that gives users the power to transform any voice using digital effects. Hear any voice with the Gangster effect, Chipmunk vocal, or Robot voice.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paris, France &#8211; Naxx Technologies today is pleased to announce Voice Morphing 2.0 for iOS, a major update to its laughter-inducing app that gives the user the power to transform any voice using digital effects. Record and playback any voice with the Gangster effect, Chipmunk vocal, or Robot voice. The app includes a collection of 12 Voice Effects Presets, Advanced settings for speed and pitch, and variable Sound FX filters and special effects. All sound morphing is accomplished in real-time, providing the instantaneous audible result of any new setting. Smooth, responsive, real-time effects involving this level of digital processing have traditionally been found only on dedicated, audio S/FX boxes employing ASICs. Now featuring iPad compatibility, a re-designed Library and UI, and a detailed and dynamic built-in tutorial for new users, Voice Morphing 2.0 succeeds version 1.0, which achieved over 1 million downloads and reached the Top 10 in the Utilities category in 47 countries, including the U.S., France, UK, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Germany.</p>
<p>Having recorded any voice or opened an already morphed recording from the app&#8217;s Library, the user is free to experiment with a nearly limitless combination of effects, filters, and settings. The 12 Voice Effects Presets include: Helium, Gangster, Chipmunk, Devil, C Chorus, Alien, Robot, Witness, Slow, Fast, Reverse, and Echo. These all produce humorous, entertaining results by altering pitch, speed, reverb, phase, distortion, direction, echo, etc. Each Preset has its own button and icon, making it easy to listen to any recorded voice as heard through the Helium effect, and quickly punch in Gangster, then Chipmunk, and Devil.</p>
<p>While there are many similar products on the app store that offer some of the 12 Voice Effects Presets found in Voice Morphing 2.0, few include anything like the power and versatility of its Advanced and Sound F/X controls. These are all continuously variable controls, which allow the user to systematically experiment with small changes to achieve exactly the desired effect. For example, a user could record a voice with the Robot Voice Effect Preset, save it, and then further refine the effect by putting the recording through the Advanced and Sound F/X stages.</p>
<p>The Advanced stage offers sliders for both pitch and speed. Speed is variable  130%/-80%, and pitch can be altered by plus or minus 13 tones. The Sound F/X stage offers continuously variable controls with numerical readout for all of the following: Pitch, Dry Mix, Wet Mix, Feedback, Minimum Sweep, Maximum Sweep, and Rate. With so many combinations possible, users can generate millions of different vocal effects.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* 12 preset filters to have fun as soon as you start the app<br />
* Advanced mode to modify your voice with your own settings<br />
* Sound FX mode to add crazy effects to your voice<br />
* Real time morphing, no waiting for the file to be modified<br />
* You can save your modified voices and share them by email<br />
* Library stores all your recordings &#8211; original and modified<br />
* 3 themes for the user interface<br />
* Use the built-in or an external mic to record any voice<br />
* Share outrageous voices on Facebook<br />
* Fun and laughs morphing your voice!</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ll never get tired of hearing a recorded voice transformed by Voice Morphing 2.0. The best proof of this is that the app was released 2 years ago, and Voice Morphing still has 250k weekly users and an average of 2 sessions of 2.4 minutes every day per user,&#8221; commented company spokesman Thomas Geley. &#8220;You&#8217;ll spend hours playing with this app; bring it to a party and let everyone hear how they sound as a Robot, Chipmunk, Gangster, Devil, or Alien.&#8221;</p>
<p> Language Support:<br />
 * English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />
* iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 13.9 MB</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Singapore based SendItz announces a newly improved version of SendItz for iOS and Android. SendItz gives users the power to send, share, and store photos, videos, and music across mobile devices and computers. Enhanced, the app now allows users to share much larger files at higher speeds, features improved photo viewing modes and controls, and the capability to save photos and videos directly to users' devices. Senditz' open cloud storage and cross-platform file sharing features remain as well.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singapore, Singapore &#8211; SendItz, an emerging mobile and digital application development studio, is excited to announce the launch of SendItz 1.0.2 onto the App Store and Google Play. Universally compatible across all iOS and Android devices, this unique content sharing and cloud storage portal is better than ever. Users still have access to a terabyte of personal cloud storage space, but are now able to share files as large as 100 GB &#8211; instead of only 2GB &#8211; with other users across platforms and devices! The newly updated app also features double the download speed for incoming files, improved photo viewing options, and now allows users to save all files externally right on their device&#8217;s gallery for safekeeping or to share via 3rd party platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, and others as well!  SendItz 1.0.2 is currently available for free on the App Store and Google play in both markets&#8217; respective Productivity categories.</p>
<p>SendItz is built to give users the power to send, share, and store photos, videos, and music across all of their mobile devices and computers freely, and with its most recent update the app has lifted even more restrictions to give users a truly open way to share &#8211; 2GB is a small limit for file sharing in the modern world, and with Senditz 1.0.2 it&#8217;s a thing of the past! Ample cloud storage space, hassle-free registration, contact connection options, and file security features abound as well. Users can even access their account directly from the web via SendItz online, and users&#8217; accounts automatically sync with their contact lists. Video, audio, and image files can be stored, viewed, and shared back and forth seamlessly internally or between users, and text documents can be shared to mobile devices from computers with ease as well.</p>
<p>SendItz ensures that regardless of what users like to share, including full photo and music albums and high-definition videos, is fair game and can be shared without worry of hitting repressive file-size limits as is so often the case with email attachments and other messaging systems. The app&#8217;s intuitive photo viewing controls now let users zoom and swipe across photos seamlessly, and local file storage options enable them to share content they receive through the app out via social media platforms freely as well. Modern media should be as mobile as your smartphone and equally as easy to keep safe and at your fingertips. Get SendItz and ensure you&#8217;ve got the tools to do just that without running out of space or battling data restrictions again while on the go with SendItz!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer, 6th grade students have a fun way to stay sharp and practice their math skills.

With this app, kids will have some fun, avoid the summer brain drain, and be ready for middle school in fall. Players have fun popping balloons as fast as possible while practicing 6th grade math topics.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Longmont, Colorado &#8211; Monkey in the Middle Apps announces the launch of their new educational game, Middle School Math 6th Grade 1.0, which is available now from the App Store. Have fun popping balloons as fast as possible while practicing 6th grade math topics. With the previously released 7th grade math and 8th grade algebra apps, students now have great tools for practicing and reviewing for all of their junior high math classes.</p>
<p>Be Ready for Middle School:<br />
&#8220;I remember the summer before middle school and the packet of math worksheets my teacher gave me to practice,&#8221; explains Jeffrey Meier, one of the app&#8217;s developers. &#8220;We made this app to replace all that paper. It&#8217;s fun and it tells me right away how I&#8217;m doing and what I need to do next. We want students to feel ready and confident as they make the big jump from grade school to middle school.&#8221;</p>
<p>Avoid the Summer Brain Drain:<br />
After working hard all year, many students forget what they&#8217;ve learned over the summer. This is called the Summer Brain Drain and is a big challenge teachers face every fall. Practicing with apps is one solution. Students get immediate feedback about how they&#8217;re doing and have instant access to review notes and online tutorials.</p>
<p>Fun Practice, Anywhere, Anytime:<br />
Summer is a busy time and Math 6th Grade takes advantage of the time available. Just pull out your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch when you have a couple of minutes. The app remembers your progress and guides you what to work on next. Learning takes place in small chunks whenever and wherever it is convenient.</p>
<p>Teacher Approved:<br />
While it&#8217;s fun for students, this app has also been designed for teachers. The quiz topics have been carefully chosen to follow common textbooks and core standards. Each quiz also includes review notes and links to online tutorials and videos. Most importantly, teachers can track progress for an entire classroom using either score emails or web-based reports.</p>
<p>Middle School Math Pro 6th Grade Includes Ten Quizzes:<br />
* Addition<br />
* Subtraction<br />
* Multiplication<br />
* Division<br />
* Commutative, Associative, and Distributive Properties<br />
* Perimeter, Area, and Volume<br />
* Median, Mean, and Mode <br />
* Decimals<br />
* Converting Decimals, Percents, and Fractions<br />
* Converting Units of Distance, Weight, and Volume</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 36.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Middle School Math 6th Grade is free and is available now from the App Store. It includes four quizzes: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division. Middle School Math Pro 6th Grade 1.0 is also available now from the App Store for $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies). A 50% educational discount is available through the Apple Volume Purchasing Program for Education.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Apps2Go announces RichTalk is a Rich Media Multi Channel Communication Platform for developers of mobile apps. Content becomes ever more important - especially on mobile devices. However, managing content in the app requires a cumbersome update of the app. RichTalk solves the problem and manages all content in the cloud and delivers it in a targeted way to an iOS- or Android-App. RichTalk also informs users via a push-message about new content and offers additional data packs via in-app sale.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Falkensee, Germany &#8211; Apps2Go announces RichTalk is a Rich Media Multi Channel Communication Platform for developers of mobile apps. Many apps for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and for Android already use RichTalk.</p>
<p>Why? &#8211; RichTalk is a flexible cross-platform content management tool, which app developers can use to organize and market their content more easily and productively.</p>
<p>Apps that already use RichTalk are, for example, A Better Speaker, FlightCode, Mobile History and iSayHello Communicator.</p>
<p>RichTalk is a product of the company Apps2Go near Berlin. &#8220;Traditionally content has been managed in the app. That means that in order to edit or extend it, an update of the app is required &#8211; something that can take some time, for instance with Apple or Samsung,&#8221; said Stefan Zorn, CEO and co-founder of Apps2Go. &#8220;RichTalk is an alternative. With RichTalk content can be managed outside the app and be delivered to the app in the current version at any time.&#8221;</p>
<p>RichTalk &#8211; Manage Content, Push-Messages And In-App Purchases:<br />
App developers use RichTalk to capture and manage different content via a web interface or by importing data. The content can then be delivered to the respective iOS and Android-apps as required without the need to update the app. In this way a mobile application&#8217;s content can be updated or extended at any time and without delay.</p>
<p>RichTalk also contains a push system to keep the app users continuously up-to-date and to contact them directly. In this way it is possible to provide directly to the users information about new content that has just been published. In this way users are more likely to make use of the new content. The Push Service even allows messages to be addressed to recipients in particular towns or regions. In addition, push messages can be delivered according to certain settings or based on user behaviour.</p>
<p>RichTalk also enables content to be made available to users as a supplement that they can buy via in-app purchases. RichTalk sends potential customers a preview of such &#8220;premium-content&#8221; as required via push services onto the users&#8217; smartphone and handles receipt validation on all supported app stores.</p>
<p>Quoting Volker Bublitz, CTO and co-founder of Apps2Go, &#8220;RichTalk provides the core functionality and the server-based services to manage and deliver the content for the apps. It includes many unusual features that allow, e.g., the creation of subscriptions, the exchange of private messages between users and the generation of content for market tests. Above all, RichTalk saves much time. Without that system, the development of our own apps would have taken three times longer.&#8221;</p>
<p>RichTalk works across platforms with the app stores of Apple, Google, Amazon and Samsung.</p>
<p>Stefan Zorn said, &#8220;We have great expectations for RichTalk&#8217;s future. There are already more end users of smartphones and tablets than of regular computers &#8211; and the market continues to grow markedly. We offer our content solution to publishers, developers and all providers that have so far offered their content only in a web environment.&#8221;</p>

<p>Apps2Go develops apps for smartphones and tablets, as well as related server-based systems. The provision of an infrastructure for the publication of any content on mobile devices is one of Apps2Go&#8217;s core competences. On the basis of the RichTalk Framework, developed by Apps2Go, the most varied distribution and billing scenarios can be implemented and new publishing business models can be developed.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Francisco, California &#8211; Stepping Stone Mobile today unveiled Pen &amp; Ink 2.4, a significant update to Pen &amp; Ink, the simplest way to create beautiful watercolor paintings and drawings on the iPad(R). Pen &amp; Ink 2.4 is redesigned with a robust new free version that includes all of the art essentials &#8211; numerous paintbrushes, pens, pencils, watercolor palettes and zoom. For people who want to take their art to the next level, the full version offers powerful artistic features such as smudge brushes, layers, custom color palettes and 25 unique brushes. The full version of Pen &amp; Ink is easy to use for both professional artists and novices, and can be purchased within the app for $2.99. </p>
<p>The full version of Pen &amp; Ink introduces 4 new smudge brushes enabling you to create smooth gradients by pushing the paint around your digital canvas. Dragging a smudge tool over hard lines softens them as much or as little as you want. The smudge brushes will help you create more natural highlights, shadows, and reflections, leading to realistic skin tones, skies, water scenes, still-life paintings, landscapes and more. </p>
<p>&#8220;Smudge is amazing!&#8221; says Da Plusshine, a professional iPad artist. &#8220;I love how natural and responsive it feels. There&#8217;s absolutely no lag.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pen &amp; Ink includes four different types of smudge brushes, each with simple-to-use slides, controlling thickness and strength:<br />
* Fan Brush &#8211; blurs the lines to create an even, silky gradient<br />
* Water Brush &#8211; simulates the streaky diffuse flow of pigment through wet paper<br />
* Finger &#8211; lets you smudge paint in a subtle, textured gradient<br />
* Wet Finger &#8211; creates a more dramatic smudge like a finger in still-wet ink</p>
<p>With the full version of Pen &amp; Ink, you can use Layers to paint strokes and designs on top of one another. The ordering of the layers can be easily changed. You can import photos, images and files from any other app and paint above or below it, a necessity for graphic designers and other multi-media professionals. </p>
<p>The customized color palette lets you create an infinite number of colors. Sliding your finger around the wheel of the palette will cycle through the spectrum of hues. By selecting a point in the triangle in the center of the wheel, you are able to control the saturation and brightness of the selected hue. This palette configuration allows you to quickly, simply, and precisely pick the color you want.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought Pen &amp; Ink was cool,&#8221; says Da &#8220;but the full version takes my art to a whole new level.&#8221; </p>
<p>Download the full version of Pen &amp; Ink today and receive the 24-hour Flash Sale price of $.99.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[AppZapp is the pocket size mobile information service for the iPhone and iPad: it provides the latest info regarding new as well as updated apps; or apps which are rising in the charts. Best of all: bargain hunters can find out via push alert which apps are available at a reduced price, or free of charge. Anyone that pays attention is able to get his apps for free. Version 5.0 refurbishes the app - and donates a chat function to the 2 million user community.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muenchenstein, Switzerland &#8211; There are 750,000 apps in the App Store. However, only a fraction of them are being featured in the App Store. To gain a better perspective AppZapp offers an iPhone and iPad version of its mobile app information service.</p>
<p>App fans use the service to gain access to well-sorted lists of all new apps, updates, charts or bargains while on the road. The App Store does not provide, for example, a complete listing of all new products.</p>
<p>Especially popular amongst users is AppZapp&#8217;s bargain service. It provides information about apps that are being offered at a reduced price, or completely free, due to marketing promotions.</p>
<p>Sascha Brenk, managing director of ConIT AG: &#8220;Sooner or later even top apps, and longstanding bestsellers, are being given away for free for a limited period of time. Anyone that keeps an eye on AppZapp&#8217;s bargain-list on a daily basis is able to download several top apps completely free.&#8221;</p>
<p>AppZapp also offers an editorial service. Each day a team introduces three hand-picked apps that are well worth a download &#8211; helping the user to be selective in their choice of apps.</p>
<p>More than two million users have taken advantage of the free registration, and now belong to the AppZapp community. Via push alert or e-mail they obtain information about monitored apps or new projects of their favorite developers, they may review apps on AppZapp or exchange information with friends. The personal stream &#8211; just like a social network &#8211; lets a user keep an eye on the activities of friends.</p>
<p>AppZapp 5.0: New design, uncluttered app data sheets, chat with the community. Starting immediately AppZapp apps are available in the new 5.0 version. Everything was questioned, optimized and expanded. Below are the most important changes:</p>
<p>* New Design: The entire AppZapp design has been modernized, cleaned up and improved. The changes are not only evident on the menu page. They are also apparent in the completely revised display of comments, and on the community profile page. The list of collections is presented in an improved version as well. It now features a new detail view, which provides even more clarity.</p>
<p>* New App Detail Page: AppZapp offers a detail page for each app, which supplies additional information, including a price development chart for the previous months, or a video. The detail page now features a modular set up, so not needed information may be hidden. At the same time, in-app purchases are offered in such a way that they are apparent at first glance. Screenshots may be viewed in full-screen mode, videos in landscape mode. The most popular comments are presented in a preview.</p>
<p>* Deleting / Editing Comments: New comments can now be edited for 15 minutes or deleted immediately.</p>
<p>* New Chat Feature: This is probably the most important function of the update. The app lets members of the AppZapp community chat directly, so they may exchange information about new apps or bargains. It is also possible to send apps and collections as a chat message.</p>
<p>AppZapp for the iPhone and AppZapp HD for the iPad are being offered as free, ad-supported apps. Advertising banners may be removed for $0.99 (USD).</p>
<p>Also, the company offers two fee-based apps &#8211; AppZapp Pro ($0.99) for the iPhone and AppZapp HD for the iPad ($ 0.99). They supply additional features such as the automatic translation of community comments, so that users from around the world are able to communicate with each other. Furthermore, a price alarm may be set that does not send out a notification for each price change, but only when the user-defined price has been reached.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Revere, Massachusetts &#8211; Indie developer James Hollender&#8217;s Life Inventory apps literally took more than 25 years to become a reality. The Life Inventory apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing. These apps guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, another term for Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better quality of life. They apps allow any user, even someone not in a 12-Step program, to learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.</p>
<p>Many thanks to &#8220;George&#8221; and his &#8220;Dungeon Prison Complete&#8221; spreadsheet which has been used as the outline for this app. This spreadsheet was developed based on years of his own personal research of the AA Big Book, along with help from many others who had already gone through the process of doing their own Moral Inventories. This was done in order to more fully understand the application of the concepts for doing his own Moral Inventory. His extensive research resulted in the creation of the &#8220;Dungeon Prison Complete&#8221; spreadsheet, a detailed set of instructions on how to do your own Moral Inventory, including several new concepts not covered in the AA Big Book: Sources of Anxiety/Excitement as a 4th Category; and a set of Sex Relations exercises. Both of these new elements were discovered to be critical in eventually understanding why we do what we do, the end result of doing your own Moral Inventory.</p>
<p>James Hollender attended several of George&#8217;s workshops on how to properly prepare a Moral Inventory. He then got the idea that it would be great if this could be done on his iPhone, but just how to accomplish that seemed impossible. It was when the iPad was introduced that he finally had the screen space needed to convert this spreadsheet into an app using an underlying database to keep track of all the information collected. Several friends helped with testing the app and it quickly made it&#8217;s way into the App Store. Eventually James found a way to accomplish the same task using the smaller iPhone screen size. The total time to create these apps, especially including all the work done by George, literally took more than 25 years.</p>
<p>Additional security has been added to the Life Inventory for iPad app which doesn&#8217;t allow any access to the app at startup until proper authentication has been supplied, but only if the user has password protection implemented. This was a feature requested by a user who sometimes wants to loan out his iOS device, but doesn&#8217;t want the other user to see anything, even the instructions. A similar upgrade is in the works for the iPhone and iPod touch version.</p>
<p>The Life Inventory for iPad app was rated as the 3rd Top iOS App for 2012:</p>
<p>Life Inventory for iPad: This iPad top iOs apps 2012 as the potential to let users create their very own Life Stock, which may present higher self-understanding of their character, strengths, and weaknesses. Life Stock is geared towards folks working by manner of a 12 step AA program and has quite quite a bit of spiritual connotations as faith and fellowship is the cornerstone of these kinds of programs. It assists customers in probing into not solely what happened, but in addition why it happened. Life Stock is certainly equivalent to moral inventory. Because the idea behind the app is advanced, new users might wrestle a bit with it. Life Stock is suitable with iPad and requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app costs USD 9.99. There may be additionally an iPhone version available.</p>
<p>Update: The app now required a minimum of iOS 5.0.</p>
<p>Both the iPad and iPhone/iPod touch versions accomplish exactly the same thing, only the interface is considerably different for each because of the significant differences in screen size.</p>
<p>The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone&#8217;s specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:</p>
<p>* What did I want?<br />
* Why did I want it?<br />
* What am I not admitting?<br />
* What lie did I tell myself?<br />
* What did I leave out or not say?<br />
* What lie did I tell others?<br />
* Have I ever done the same thing?<br />
* Was it any of my business?<br />
* Were my expectations reasonable?<br />
* What was the real truth?<br />
* What was I not seeing?<br />
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?<br />
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?<br />
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?</p>
<p>Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:</p>
<p>* Build Lists<br />
* Causes and Effects<br />
* My Part<br />
* Fears Analysis<br />
* Fear Questions<br />
* Sex Relations</p>
<p>Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.</p>
<p>The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:</p>
<p>* People<br />
* Institutions and Organizations<br />
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs<br />
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement</p>
<p>Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.</p>
<p>Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:</p>
<p>* Other people&#8217;s opinions<br />
* Not getting what I want<br />
* Not having control of the situation<br />
* Financial insecurity<br />
* Abandonment<br />
* Physical harm<br />
* Failure<br />
* Success</p>
<p>The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:</p>
<p>* Why did I have this fear?<br />
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?<br />
* How did I hold on to this fear?<br />
* What did this fear make me do?<br />
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?<br />
* How did I react to this fear?<br />
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?<br />
* How did self-reliance fail me?<br />
* What should I have done instead?</p>
<p>And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:</p>
<p>* How was I selfish?<br />
* Where was I dishonest?<br />
* Where was I inconsiderate?<br />
* Who was hurt in this situation?<br />
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?<br />
* Where was I at fault?<br />
* What should I have done instead?<br />
* What will I do in the future?<br />
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?<br />
* Did I pray for him/her?<br />
* Did I enjoy his/her company?<br />
* Did we bring each other closer to God?</p>
<p>&#8220;The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn&#8217;t directly address anyone&#8217;s specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life,&#8221; stated indie developer James Hollender. &#8220;The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened.&#8221; James Hollender is also the author of a suite of Nutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database:</p>
<p>* iCarbs (Carbohydrates)<br />
* iCholesterol (Dietary Cholesterol)<br />
* iFiber (Fiber)<br />
* iKals (Calories)<br />
* iPotassium (Potassium)<br />
* iProteins (Proteins)<br />
* iSatFat (Saturated Fat)<br />
* iSodium (Sodium)<br />
* iSugars (Sugars)<br />
* Vitamin K (Vitamins K1, K1D &amp; K2)<br />
* iNutrients &#8211; encompasses all of the same ten nutrients above, plus includes the entire USDA National Nutrient Database for those nutrients built right into the app so no Internet connection is needed.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* &#8220;Life Inventory&#8221; &#8211; iPhone and iPod touch<br />
* &#8220;Life Inventory for iPad&#8221; &#8211; iPad only<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Life Inventory and Life Inventory for iPad are each $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of each app is $1.99, which supplement the main app by providing a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hong Kong &#8211; CAZE has announced CANVAZ slim-fit sleeve for iPhone 5. CANVAZ is very slim and made from durable scratch and water resistant coated canvas material. CANVAZ is ideal for wear and tear for any weather and is soft to hold and also easy to grip.</p>

Different to most sales apps, AppTracker lets the user specifically search for an app and allows them to input a target price.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yelverton, Devon, United Kingdom &#8211; Handyman Interactive today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of AppTracker Deluxe 1.1, an update to their price tracking app for iOS devices. AppTracker Deluxe allows users to search for and start tracking the price of their favourite App Store applications. Different to most sales apps, AppTracker lets the user specifically search for an app and allows them to input a target price. Not only does AppTracker then double up as a directory of all the apps the user finds interesting, showing price fluctuations too, but also enables the user to receive a push notification should an app reach its target price.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s market, websites and apps trying to provide the consumer with App Store deals, are abundant. However, we often found that they only provided specific applications, and more often than not, for a very limited time. Therefore, the consumer had very little choice in which deals they found and were very unlikely to catch a deal they were actually interested in. It was with this problem in mind that Handyman Interactive began work on AppTracker.</p>
<p>AppTracker Deluxe allows users to search for their favourite apps on the App Store and then set a target price at which they are happy to purchase the app. Our on-the-go servers constantly check the app store prices against the user&#8217;s target prices, waiting for a change. If the price is reached or even surpassed, our server sends a push notification to the user, alerting them to the change. From within our app the user can then buy the application through the App Store.</p>
<p>We love the idea of the user starting to track several apps on-the-go, with their mobile, forgetting all about them and continuing with their life; while one by one they decrease in price amongst the various developer sales pleasantly surprising the user when they&#8217;re alerted. We encourage the building of a small library of apps which interest the user, and so have provided features to help make the user experience easier and simpler, including sorting options for their tracking list and colour coding.</p>
<p>With the just released AppTracker 1.1 we completely redesigned the application adding in our own custom user interface, making the app even clearer than before. It also added even more user features, such as social media integration, App Store windows built directly into the app and a tutorial.</p>
<p>Supported Languages:<br />
* English, French, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 5.7 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
AppTracker Deluxe 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. There is a free, lite version available. It packs in all the fantastic features of the Deluxe version and limits only the number of apps that can be tracked.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly one year after its initial launch science-to-touch.com releases a major upgrade of the creative drawing app iOrnament. While previous releases were focused on the creation of symmetric ornamental patterns in the plane the new version enters the 3D world. With a totally intuitive user interface the app in addition allows to create stunning symmetric patterns on a sphere. Moreover the app supports color symmetries to create tessellations in the style of the famous dutch artist M.C. Escher.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Munich, Germany &#8211; Mathematics and art come together when one starts using the creative drawing app iOrnament. This was a fact for the first release of this app and is even more the case for the release of version 1.4.1. Via a 1$ In-App Purchase the upgrade opens a variety of new features. Many of them are pretty unique and define the ground for a completely new type of drawing experience. The main aim of iOrnament is to transport the message that mathematical structures can at the same time be fun, creative, totally logical, wild, contemplative and inspiring. With your finger you draw simple strokes on your iPad or iPhone. iOrnament automatically repeats them over and over by reflections, and rotations to form intriguing geometric patterns. On the one hand the user has full control over the drawing process on the other hand he will often be surprised and inspired by surprising coincidences due to the symmetric repetitions.</p>
<p>Over the last few months iOrnament attracted creative people from all over the world. The related Ornament World Exhibition has in the meantime submissions from more than 30 different countries. According to the independent developer and maths professor Jurgen Richter-Gebert the new version &#8220;&#8230;is a quantum leap. iOrnament is the first program that allows the intuitive and artistically expressive creation of spherical Ornaments as well as  tessellations in the style of the famous prints by M.C. Escher with interlocking patterns of birds, fish or lizards&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Dutch artist was a constant inspiration for the work of the developer and one of Richter-Geberts aims is to create an intuitive tool that allows the average user to experiment with such intriguing and mind blowing mosaics, ornaments and tessellations. User responses concerning the new version are very enthusiastic already on the first day of the release. They reach from a simple &#8220;WoW, This is my favorite app of all time&#8230;a combined art studio and science lab&#8221; via &#8220;A beautiful and intelligent way to express oneself artistically through a digital medium&#8221; to &#8220;Brilliant fun, An excellent app. Fun and habit forming&#8221;.</p>
<p>The 3D part of iOrnament is based on the theory and symmetry properties of Platonic solids. These are in a sense the most symmetric objects in 3-dimensional space. iOrnament uses their symmetries to create patterns on the surface of a sphere. They are &#8220;looking like virtual versions of Japanese Temari Balls&#8221; as a user of the associated FaceBook community formulates it. Besides of the mentioned two main new features Version 1.4.1 of iOrnament contains many improvements like layers, brushes, richer color support and higher resolution of the drawings. Also the part of the app that contains information on the mathematical backgrounds has been improved and extended by more stunning 3D interactive visualizations.</p>
<p>iOrnament is designed for the iPad as well as for the iPhone. It has an average 4.8 from 5 star rating based on worldwide more than 700 ratings and reviews. It was distinguished with a third place at the 2012 Best App Ever Awards.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 29.5 MB</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Moscow, Russian Federation &#8211; STOIK Software today is pleased to introduce Photo Deformer Free 1.0 for iOS, now with added effects and templates, that lets users manually or automatically deform photos to create caricatures and animated facial distortions. The app includes a choice of 6 automatic deformations, e.g., broaden the smile, or enlarge the eyes with one touch. Also provided are 7 manual deformation tools, with 3 sizes and 3 strengths each, which enable animated elastic dragging, exploding, imploding, fringing, or spiraling of pixels. Still photos or animations created in Photo Deformer Free can be saved to the Photo Library and shared via email, SMS, MMS, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Photo Deformer for Android was awarded the Grand Prize, non-game category, in the 2012 Samsung Smart App Challenge.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Auto face detection and one tap caricature creation<br />
* Manual mode for advanced caricatures<br />
* Facebook friend&#8217;s photos download<br />
* 7 deformation tools, each can be applied with 3 sizes and 3 strengths<br />
* Real time animation<br />
* Front &amp; rear camera support<br />
* Send deformed pictures via email, MMS, etc.<br />
* Share deformations as animated MPEG4 videos<br />
* 3 new photo effects &#8211; Sketch, Grey Sketch, and Pastel Sketch</p>
<p>One of the few photo editing/image processing apps suitable for caricatures, Photo Deformer allows subtle, rounded exaggeration of facial features. Where other apps may allow pointy extrusions that look completely unnatural, Photo Deformer excels at creating organic alterations to photos. Deformations and caricatures can be made either automatically or manually.</p>
<p>The automatic deformations are quite sophisticated, as the software has the capability of recognizing the position, shape, and outline of the eyes, mouth, chin, nose, and forehead. In a photo containing a face of any size and a complex background, the app faultlessly locates, and operates on, only the appropriate facial features. With one touch, a new photo is generated with an exaggerated nose, chin, pair of eyes, or smile. No longer is it required of users that they outline features or align the photo with an overlay.</p>
<p>Manual deformations allow full control over whether exaggerated features are made larger or smaller and by how much. In addition, manual mode allows the creation of animated movies of the face as it is gradually distorted. The app provides seven deformation tools and each can be applied with a choice of 3 sizes and 3 strengths. Some tools work best by drawing or dragging, while other tools continue to increase an effect the longer users hold their finger still, touching the screen. Integrated are forward and backward buttons and a dynamic eraser function that undoes effects gradually.</p>
<p>&#8220;Photo Deformer is a dynamic photo editing utility that gives users the power to create caricatures and crazy photos with a variety of diverse filters and effects in real-time,&#8221; commented Mike Kuznetsov of STOIK Software. &#8220;An innovative, recreational, photo editing app, Photo Deformer has everything users need to mix, match, and create funny photos whenever they want, and for whatever reason they can come up with!&#8221;</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
* English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading, United Kingdom &#8211; Hyperlines has now been launched worldwide on the App store. Hyperlines is distinguished by its extremely intuitive, fast-paced gameplay: drag or tap coloured tiles to form lines of 5 or more in the same colour, as new tiles rapidly fill the board. A deep strategic element is added by the possibility of winning bonus points for special combinations. With &#8216;normal&#8217; and &#8216;speed&#8217; game modes, Hyperlines should appeal both to casual and hardcore gamers.</p>
<p>Hyperlines has already generated a lot of excitement among beta testers, its simple but addictive gameplay winning comparisons in particular to &#8216;Tetris&#8217; (cited by Indie game developer Jonah Wilberg as an inspiration for the game, along with the other classic Russian game &#8216;Lines&#8217;). With full Game Center support and detailed statistics and highscore information, it offers a classic, infinite, highscore-based game experience. </p>
<p>&#8220;For me, quality gameplay is everything&#8221;, says Indie game developer Jonah Wilberg. &#8220;I get bored of a game very quickly, no matter how great the graphics, or narrative, if there are just one or two small game design flaws. Although Hyperlines also has quality sound and graphics, I kept my focus firmly on ensuring that the gameplay is as near to perfect as possible.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;The game is really at its best on the iPad&#8221;, says Jonah Wilberg, &#8220;The slightly larger tiles and 9&#215;9 game board make the user interface and gameplay just that little bit more perfect&#8221;. </p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad or iPod touch<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vancouver, Canada &#8211; PaigeeWorld announces their new drawing contest.  PaigeeWorld is a social network for young artists around the world, and boasts over 110,000 active members in 2013. PaigeeWorld 1.3 is an iOS application created by PaigeeDraw Inc. The next contest is Nyan Summer Dreams and challenges young artists to create a drawing and story centered around one of PaigeeWorld&#8217; s favorite characters, Nyan.</p>
<p>We asked our members to share their ideas for our next contest theme. There were soo many amazing ideas &#8211; &#8220;Summer Vacations, Last Day of School, Fairy Tales, The Beach, Fantasy Lands, etc.&#8221;  How could we allow our members the most flexibility with their contest ideas and their imagination &#8211; Solution: &#8220;Dreams.&#8221; In dreams we can do whatever we want, we can go to exotic places, we can meet anime characters, we can fly, sing, dance, float &#8211; we can even have magical powers! In dreams we can be in a land where the tree&#8217;s are made from candies, and it rains doughnuts.</p>
<p>So the theme of our contest is &#8220;Nyan Summer Dreams&#8221;! Entries have to represent Nyan&#8217;s Summer Dream. It could be Nyan dreaming of the Beach, going shopping, going on a trip, going on a date, travelling to Japan, catching a big fish, living in a land with fish tree&#8217;s(she really likes fish). It could be Nyan&#8217;s last day of school, a boy that she likes talking to her&#8230; Maybe her dream is scary &#8211; all of her friends left her alone for summer holidays &#8211; maybe she&#8217;s trapped in a bottle &#8211; maybe all of the teachers are Zombies, and she is stuck at Summer School!</p>
<p>&#8220;Nyan Summer Dreams&#8221; encourages PaigeeWorld members to be creative and create their own ideas. All members are encouraged to create a story to accompany their drawing.</p>
<p>Members can enter the contest via the free iOS PaigeeWorld application available on the Apple App Store.</p>
<p>Our members enter the PaigeeWorld contests for a variety of reasons. Entering the contests gets their art and profile seen by thousands and thousands of members &#8211; allows them to make new friends and get new followers on the application &#8211; gives them new art challenges to draw &#8211; allows them to experiment with new styles and techniques &#8211; helps them earn PaigeePoints and PaigeePins on the PaigeeWorld application. However, the most attractive thing about the contests is the great prizes!</p>
<p>For the PaigeeWorld Nyan Summer Dreams contest a new Marker Line is being introduced by Marvy Uchida &#8211; the Uchida 3100 Marker Line. Marvy Uchida and PaigeeWorld have come together to sponsor the prize packs for this contest! There are 4 Grand Prizes depending on a users age group available to be won! There are also online store coupons for PaigeeDraw for 2nd place prizes.</p>
<p>The Grand prizes include:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montreal, Canada &#8211; Zikera Inc. announces Groove 2.3. The Montreal-made music app, has just topped the music app charts for iOS in over 20 countries including France, Japan, and South Korea, with over 85,000 downloads in 24 hours while continuing to increase. With over 1 million downloads and rave reviews in the iTunes App Store, Groove is now the most popular music app for Canadian iPad users.</p>
<p>Groove is a smart music player that learns from users&#8217; listening habits to predict which music they would like to hear at any given moment, made accessible within one flick of the finger. Groove&#8217;s rapid ascendancy comes after launching the flagship social feature &#8220;Groove with Friends&#8221; on its premium app, previously $3.99 USD, now made permanently free for all users.</p>
<p>Hoping to put an end to arguments over what music to play when listening with company, Groove with Friends combines two friend&#8217;s tastes to create playlists with mutually compatible music. &#8220;The inspiration for Groove with Friends came after a cross-country roadtrip where my buddies and I spent more time debating what to play than actually listening to music. Now, the only time my friends talk about the music is to remind me how much they like it&#8221;, explains Bruno Sylvain, the company&#8217;s co-founder. Groove&#8217;s smart engine picks songs to satisfy even the most musically-divergent duo.</p>
<p>In contrast to competitors like Pandora, Spotify and Rdio which emphasize discovering new bands, Groove revolutionizes the way users experience the music they already own and love in an intuitive and socially-engaging way. Groove&#8217;s aims to become the go-to app for music lovers.</p>
<p>Device Requirements<br />
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* Universal Application<br />
* 20.0 MB</p>

The application features real time scoring on a hole-by-hole basis as it happens. Everyone can view the scores of all golfers straight on their iOS device in real time. The sleek professional design allows players to watch the leaderboard scores and follow the matches allowing them to keep up with rankings for their event.</p>
<p>A new level of enjoyment and fun for all golfers is made possible by the technology by creating a leaderboard right on your iPhone or iPad. Now all golfers can get connected and see the action as it happens even if you are not playing in the event. All players can view the leaderboard in their iPhones and see the results as it happens, just like the pros on TV. For those not playing merely log on to the event on your device or see it on the web site.</p>
<p>&#8220;The real value of this application lies in the inherent ability to connect the golfing community and bring the social aspect to importance,&#8221; said Bill Helman of Sports Data Systems Inc. &#8220;This leaderboard allows people to connect with their opponents and analyze their scores, and ultimately improve their game.&#8221; &#8220;Now, with the Fathers&#8217;s Day offer, it is time for the users to check out myGolfLeaderboard for Free,&#8221; Bill concluded.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Biella, Italy &#8211; Indie developer Ferraioli Antonio today is pleased to announce &#8220;40&#8243; v.1.0 free for iPhone, created from his top-rated iPad app. In &#8220;40&#8243; players challenge 1, 2, or 3 players to an exciting Italian card game derived from rummy.

<p>The object of the game is to be the first of all players to be left with no cards in their hand. South plays first, followed by West, North, and East. Players eliminate cards from their hand by building melds, which are displayed face-up in front of the player. A meld can be either a set or a run. In &#8220;40&#8243; a set is called a set, and it consists of 3 or 4 cards of the same value, but different suits. A run is called a sequence, and it consists of 3 to 14 cards of the same suit in numerical order (A-2-3 and Q-K-A are both legal). The game takes its name from the minimum score required for gamers to play their first set and/or sequence, which is 40 points.</p>
<p>Depending on the Game Mode, one or more matches will be played. During a match, players take turns, playing one-at-a-time moving clockwise. A player&#8217;s turn begins by drawing a card from either the deck or the waste heap. If a player has yet to open, he or she must draw a card from the deck. If a player has opened with one or more melds, he or she can choose a card from the deck, or the face-up card on the discard pile.</p>
<p>During their turn, players can:<br />
* Show/play a sequence of 3 or more cards<br />
* Show/play a set of 3 or 4 cards<br />
* Attach/lay off one or more cards to any of the sequences and sets on the table (if already opened)<br />
* Take jokers from existing sequences and sets by replacing the joker with the card for which it is a substitute (the taken joker must be played immediately)<br />
* End their turn by throwing out a card to the discard pile (if their last card, they win)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York, New York &#8211; Zaah and Name Games, LLC introduce NameGames 1.03. NameGames, the award winning educational app designed to teach names and faces to children eight months and older, is now available for Free on iPhone, iPad and Android devices.</p>
<p>NameGames uses photos to help children recognize friends and family by making them part of the app. Pictoo, a playful baby giraffe, guides parents through a quick setup for each person they want their child to know. Simply upload a picture, record a name and watch as they become part of the game. Familiarizing children with their loved ones fosters positive interactions which are the seeds of strong, meaningful relationships.</p>
<p>The primary reason grandparents do not see their grandkids as often as they would like is geographical distance. Only 30% of grandparents see their grandkids weekly, 32% see them monthly, and the rest see them even less frequently.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since my parents live out of state, I&#8217;ve spent hours with my kids flipping through photo albums to teach them about their grandparents.&#8221; says NameGames, LLC cofounder Jordan Lippman, PhD. &#8220;By playing with the app, my kids are constantly reminded of their relatives in an exciting, developmentally appropriate setting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Beyond strengthening family relationships, NameGames accelerates the development of important early learning skills. Using images of people and objects that children interact with in the real world helps build cognitive skills and entertains while educating.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have always been interested in how children learn,&#8221; said Justin Morris, CoFounder of NameGames. When Dr. Lippman, PhD and Dr. Canty, PhD approached us with the idea to teach children the names and faces of loved ones in a highly customized and personal manner, I knew we had stumbled upon something special.&#8221;</p>
<p>Download NamesGames this Father&#8217;s day and hear your child say &#8220;DaDa&#8221; for the very first time!</p>
<p>About Name Games, LLC:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toronto, Canada  &#8211; The Developers of the SpotCayman app have done it again! Always improving their app and being pioneers of innovation, Conch Pearl Media knocks it out of the park in the travel app category with their newest feature, SpotShots. Users living in or visiting Cayman can now upload their pictures of the Cayman Islands to the SpotCayman 4.0 app for fellow users to enjoy. All pictures are GPS mapped so that future visitors to Cayman can easily find and experience the same spots on their vacation.</p>
<p>President of Conch Pearl Media, Lisa Butcher, says, &#8220;We want our users to have the best app experience available. We believe that apps should have magic! Our app is one of the few in the app market that can update dynamically. This means we can have a new spot or change in our app within five minutes. Now we are taking user interaction to a whole new level. When users take a picture in the Cayman Islands using the Camera App, they can upload this picture to the SpotCayman app in a few simple steps. The picture comes to us with the GPS co-ordinates so that we can place it on our maps for future visitors to find and experience. We accomplish two goals, beautiful and genuine photos in our app and continued and improved spot discoverability for our users.&#8221;</p>
<p>SpotShots is not the only useful feature users will find when they download the app. Along with all hotels in Cayman, businesses, shopping, restaurants, dive sites and attractions in Cayman, SpotCayman flaunts its easy to use technology. With full offline maps, tappable phone numbers and websites, email addresses, searchable keywords, and handy share features a user can be happy with this free app. But another piece of magic is SpotsNearby. This super handy feature shows a spot, or SpotShot, and then shows the users all of the spots within a 1km radius.</p>
<p>Butcher, who worked in the hotel industry, comments, &#8220;People always want to know what is in walking distance from their hotel or a restaurant. With the SpotCayman app, we have taken the guess work out of trip planning.&#8221;</p>
<p>Recently, the SpotCayman app was featured on Cayman27 news. Capitalizing on the exposure, Conch Pearl Media has begun a &#8220;Name Your Price&#8221; promotion in a bid to get more businesses in Cayman adding a premium listing with their details, extra pictures and deals in the app.</p>
<p>In closing, Butcher says, &#8220;We are very keen to put everything that the Cayman Islands has to offer visitors and locals alike on the map! We are providing the tools to make everything as easy and efficient as possible. We are asking the traveling community and business community in the Cayman Islands for help to make the SpotCayman app the best and most comprehensive free resource out there.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montreal, Canada &#8211; WhereCloud is releasing today its AppCoreKit iOS application framework as an open source project to help iOS developers transition to Apple&#8217;s newly announced iOS 7 mobile operating system. The framework is the result of WhereCloud&#8217;s extensive experience building great mobile apps in a variety of business domains. The framework is already powering more than 50 applications currently available on the Apple App Store.</p>
<p>The power of the framework can be found in the large feature set. Those features include:</p>
<p>* Data Driven Architecture that allows applications to be constructed mostly by using a descriptive language to do the heavy lifting<br />
* Native Cascading Stylesheets, similar to CSS, that quickly theme the application without writing multiple lines of code<br />
* An easy-to-use layout model that adjusts automatically to content and stylesheets<br />
* An efficient data binding mechanism to ensure proper synchronization between user interface elements and data<br />
* A state of the art multi-threaded network stack providing the easiest way to implement sync with remote data<br />
* A system that&#8217;s built on top of the Objective-C runtime, ensuring a developer&#8217;s own code is fully compatible with the AppCoreKit framework</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve packaged great implementations of the most common design patterns right into AppCoreKit, so you don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel every time you sit down and start a new iOS project,&#8221; says Fred Brunel, WhereCloud CTO.</p>
<p>The framework and a number of high quality samples are already available on GitHub. iOS developers can quickly start evaluating and integrating the framework in new applications they are building.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our goal is to provide a thorough and reliable framework to the iOS development community, to allow them to spend less time on low-level app construction, and more time on the new visual language introduced with iOS 7,&#8221; said Brunel.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Seattle-based Funtini introduces Flicksy 1.1, its new pop culture trivia game for iOS. Delivering charades-style play with a new tech twist, this innovative turn-based title overlays a trivia game on top of short-form social video sharing. Players select from an eclectic mix of over 50 categories and convey their chosen topic by either creating a video or selecting from a deep archive of player generated flicks. The selected video gets sent to a friend who is then challenged to guess the topic.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seattle, Washington &#8211; Funtini, the Seattle-based mobile game company, has released Flicksy, a pop culture video guessing game now available worldwide on the iTunes App Store. This innovative turn-based title overlays a trivia game on top of short-form social video sharing. </p>
<p>Players select from an eclectic mix of over 50 categories and convey their chosen topic by either creating a video or selecting from a deep archive of player generated flicks. The selected video gets sent to a friend who is then challenged to guess the topic. With an opponent&#8217;s correct answer, both players earn game coins and are on the road to Flicksy fame!</p>
<p>&#8220;We believe there&#8217;s more fun to be had playing with other people around a coffee table than with most of today&#8217;s social video games&#8221; said Joe Lawandus, CEO of Funtini. &#8220;We&#8217;re building an innovative suite of Funtini branded titles that combine our favorite classic play patterns with modern technology to create social games that actually foster interpersonal relationships. Coffee table gaming moments without the coffee table. We&#8217;re leveraging technology to bring real social connections to video gaming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Flicksy also marks the launch of Funtini&#8217;s patent pending Ivite technology allowing users to play with new opponents after viewing their user-generated content. &#8220;We felt Funtini had a real opportunity to improve on the near ubiquitous random or level-based social game match-making systems that exist today,&#8221; said Lawandus. &#8220;Watching and liking a video someone has created in Flicksy for example, is a great indicator of whether or not you want to play with them in the game. Ivite gives players a chance to connect with opponents they&#8217;ll have the most fun playing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shanghai, China &#8211; The popular MMORPG Haypi Monster will soon release its newest update, bestowing never-before-seen features on millions of players! This free-to-download iOS game has long-delighted players with its bright, colorful graphics and its user-friendly gameplay. Critics rave that the game not only satisfies their Pokemon nostalgia, but goes above and beyond in delivering a spellbinding adventure. Thanks to creative features like breeding, synthesis scrolls, and skill books, Haypi Monster succeeds at engrossing its audience for the long term.</p>
<p>The new update, Version 1.4, is expected to hit the App Store in just a few short weeks. In Version 1.4, players can venture through two brand new scenes, Holy Ruins and Barren Land, on top of the eight classic scenes that they already know.</p>
<p>One of the two new scenes is Holy Ruins, a once-beautiful city that still resonates with a holy aura. Holy Ruins is filled with powerful psychic monsters that attack when provoked. One monster, Pocahoontas, is a totem-bearing owl that beams its deadly Spirit Channel at predators. Another monster, Angelo, is an angelic dragon that can vanquish its enemies with a single Psychic Thrust. Players bold enough to take on the Veteran Mode of Holy Ruins will be rewarded with the synthesis scroll of Pattapilla, an epic plant-type caterpillar with big round eyes. Pattapilla can evolve into Pattafly with the help of a Four-Leaf Clover, growing emerald-green wings and spiraling antennae.</p>
<p>Barren Land, the other new scene, is home to the most powerful monsters in the game. These ruthless beasts can harness the powers of fire, electricity, and earth. Barren Land&#8217;s final boss is said to be the legendary Minotaur, an earth-type monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man. Barren Land&#8217;s Veteran Mode rewards its challengers with the synthesis scroll of Sneopard, an epic baby leopard with the power of ice. Sneopard can evolve when equipped with a magic item called Frostcore, turning it into a giant leopard called Clawpard.</p>
<p>Version 1.4 also delivers seven new monster skills and four new Mystery Talents. A new feature, Skill Upgrading, lets players dominate the game by boosting the already-advanced skills of their strongest monsters. Once a monster reaches a certain level, players can upgrade its skills with silver and Essence of Wisdom, two forms of in-game currency that can be acquired by completing challenges. Version 1.4 has been sent to the App Store review and is pending release.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Des Moines, Iowa &#8211; PhoneApp.com, the proprietor of innovative iPad applications such as Cymbol and GameGlyph, is integrating various social media outlets into its great app, Clapboard. The app, available for download through the iTunes App Store for $1.99* right now, serves as a digital clapboard that allows users to organize takes during video production via the time stamp recorded when video clips are clapped. It now features integration for Twitter and Vine users to edit and share video clips with others, including Clapboard&#8217;s chief marketer, Nicole Barnett.</p>
<p>&#8220;Social media is far and above the easiest and most effective way for people to share their videos online, and we&#8217;re making it easier for Clapboard users to do just that,&#8221; said Barnett. &#8220;With the touch of a button, people can take their videos from Clapboard&#8217;s interface and push them out to the world through Twitter and Vine, where they&#8217;ll be seen and shared by thousands of other users just like themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the addition of social media integration, Clapboard is expanding the already extensive list of options available to users when it comes to creating video, whether it&#8217;s professional or just for fun. The app&#8217;s users are able to give their production a name, specify the camera type used during filming and number each scene and take.</p>
<p>Now, through Clapboard&#8217;s &#8220;edit info&#8221; function, users can customize the display fields on the clapboard to optimize clips for sharing through social media sites like Twitter and Vine. Users may also engage with the app&#8217;s creator via these channels by following @ClapboardApp.</p>
<p>&#8220;The beauty of Clapboard is in its simplicity. With just a few simple taps, videographers can take a series of clips and turn them into a short production that&#8217;s ready for sharing-right out of the app,&#8221; said Barnett. &#8220;We&#8217;re genuinely interested in the user experience, and integrating social media experiences with Clapboard for iPad is a natural progression toward achieving a seamless interface. Not only will people be able to share their creations with us, but they&#8217;ll also be able to give us feedback through our social media channels. This will help us understand their needs and further tailor the app to meet these needs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later<br />
* 0.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
For a limited time, Clapboard 1.0 is $1.99 USD until June 19, 2013 (Reg. $2.99*) or equivalent amount in other currencies and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Palo Alto, California &#8211; Independent iOS developer, Jeffrey Sun today is proud to announce the release of Modern Photo Editor 1.6 to the App Store and announces it to the app&#8217;s Instagram community @moderneditor of 2.5k followers. Since Modern&#8217;s initial release on April 26, 2013, the app has undergone 6 significant updates that have made it a robust, fully fledged image editor. The release of Modern Photo Editor marks the advent of the first image editor on the App Store that saves at full 8 Mpx resolution, has a reverting history log, and features crash recovery.</p>
<p>The key differentiating feature of Modern is that it allows users to save their edited photo at three resolution options: 1 Mpx, 3 Mpx, or 8 Mpx (full). In addition, every edit is recorded in a history log, and selecting a previous edit will revert the image to that point in time. Undo/Redo buttons facilitate this as well. As a safety measure, the history log is saved to the device&#8217;s hard drive so that the app can recover in case of a crash.</p>
<p>Features:<br />
* Saves at 8 Mpx resolution<br />
* 10 Image Adjustments (Exposure, Vibrance, Gamma, Temperature, Contrast, Sharpness, etc.)<br />
* 10 Spot-Editing Brushes (Brighten, Darken, Saturate, Grey, Accent, Blur, etc.)<br />
* 17 Color Filters<br />
* 15 Textures (Wood, Fabric, Steel, etc.)<br />
* Crop Tool<br />
* Reverting History Log, Undo/Redo<br />
* 5 Orientation Fixes (Rotate R/L, Straighten, Flip V/H)<br />
* 16 Frames<br />
* Crash Recovery<br />
* Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Email, Message sharing</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later<br />
* 9.3 MB</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surprise, Arizona &#8211; Torello Group, LLC today announced the public beta launch of Yapp Guru, an app review site founded by speech therapists along with therapy and education colleagues. Improving on the general App Store search, apps are organized by industry keywords, specific to speech/occupational/physical therapy and education for Android, Kindle, Nook, and Apple devices. In a unique curation effort, keyword searches connect apps to relevant expert app reviews, blogs, and insight on employing apps for therapy. </p>
<p>The new site, dedicated to the creation and maintenance of an innovative software application resource for speech- language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, educators, technology experts and parents, is available for a Public Beta period starting Friday, June 14, 2013.</p>
<p>&#8220;We realized the iTunes App Store search system and reviews were limited in providing relevant information to us as therapists and teachers,&#8221; said Mai Ling Chan, CEO of Yapp Guru. &#8220;We created Yapp Guru to provide a community where everyone interested in apps such as developers, bloggers, parents and therapists can all come and share how they are using apps to help others experience a richer life.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to the traditional community app rating, Yapp Guru identifies and qualifies reviewers as an app expert &#8220;Savvy Guru&#8221; based on a specified level of proven dedication and experience with apps, which provides a higher level of expertise and credibility to their review.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A Word's a Bird is an animated poetry app for both children and adults, which combines poetry and hundreds of hand-painted watercolors with digital technology. Enriched by sounds and scenes of the natural world, the app includes four simple, yet sophisticated, poems based on playful, rhymed metaphors. Words are highlighted as the poems are narrated in English by Kenny Mann, and in French by Elodie Fondacci of Radio Classique.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paris, France &#8211; Released by Syntonie and Actialuna, A Word&#8217;s a Bird, Spring Flies By in Rhymes, is a new animated, interactive bilingual poetry app that appeals to children of all ages, as well as adults. It has hand-painted watercolors by Jeanne B. de Sainte Marie, which are as poetic as the text. The app includes a title poem and three spring-themed poems: &#8220;April&#8221;, &#8220;May&#8221; and &#8220;June&#8221; &#8211; written in both English and French by award-winning children&#8217;s author and poet, Orel Protopopescu. The poems and animated paintings are accompanied by sounds of insects, birds, frogs, water and more, creating an inspired atmosphere of calmness and beauty. </p>
<p>Poet Laureate of the United States from 2001-2003, Billy Collins, notes, &#8220;A Word&#8217;s a Bird slows down the frantic speed of most apps for children to fit the slower pace of Nature. The beauty of the illustrations, the meticulous work of the artists, and the interactive play combine to make a wondrous learning experience, a terrific way to expose children to poetry, art and Nature itself.&#8221;</p>
<p>NSK Neustadt Prize for Children&#8217;s Literature winner, poet Naomi Shihab Nye, says, &#8220;A Word&#8217;s a Bird is absolutely splendid!&#8221; and &#8220;Children need poetry more than ever.&#8221;</p>
<p>A Word&#8217;s a Bird makes metaphor, the heart and soul of poetry, accessible to the youngest children. Users can explore, by playing with the animated watercolors, how a flowering shoot becomes a flute when touched, and how a bloom makes a cozy room for a bee. This is hands-on learning.</p>
<p>Technology is seamlessly interwoven with content, creating a rich auditory and tactile experience. The interactive glossaries have touch-activated sounds, making them accessible to very young children. A no-button interface keeps interactivity natural. This unique app will appeal to students of French and English, as well as to those who love art and poetry. </p>
<p>Press/Reviews:</p>
<p>&#8220;Fresh as a spring breeze&#8230;&#8221; and &#8220;superbly illustrated&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; VIPad</p>
<p>&#8220;Poetry for the iPad is rare enough to claim attention and this app is remarkable! And what work in watercolor!&#8221; &#8211; DeclicKids </p>
<p>&#8220;A truly enchanting and poetic journey, this application is a treat for the eyes and ears&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; iPadou</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;thoughtful, poetic and superbly illustrated&#8230;&#8221;speaks to children from 7 to 97.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;&#8230;a veritable haven of peace to daydream and meditate, whether one is a small child or adult of any age.&#8221; &#8211; iDBOOX</p>

<p>Become a smarter lotto player with LottoPal and win more! The odds of winning in 649 lottery is approximately 1 in 14 million.</p>
<p>By comparison, you are more likely to:<br />
Be killed in a terrorist attack while travelling (1 in 650,000) Die &#8211; during an average lifetime &#8211; of flesh-eating disease (1 in one million) Be killed by lightning (1 in 56,439). You are three times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident driving 16 kilometres to buy your ticket than winning the jackpot.</p>
<p>Probability:<br />
The theory of probability is a mathematical model for understanding, describing, analyzing, and predicting phenomena which exhibit random fluctuations. While the subject has roots in games of chance, it has developed far beyond to address fundamental issues in genetics, physics, medicine, communications theory, and software reliability. While small scale prediction cannot be achieved with high degree of accuracy, there is remarkable regularity which can be studied mathematically.</p>
<p>Improving The Odds Of Winning:<br />
Statistical analysis of thousands of draws in the history of Canadian lottery games since 1982 shows well defined trends. Choosing number combinations which fall within the thresholds of these trends have a greater probability of winning.</p>
<p>How LottoPal Works:<br />
Each combination of numbers has characteristics which can be tracked over time. Tracking these characteristics statistically is known as playing &#8220;strategies&#8221;.</p>
<p>An example of a strategy is the sum of all numbers in a combination. The lowest possible sum of all numbers in a combination for a 649 game is 21 (1+2+3+4+5+6). The highest possible sum is 279 (44+45+46+47+48+49).</p>
<p>Strategies:<br />
The sum of all numbers is one of several strategies LottoPal uses to profile number combinations. LottoPal employs the following strategies:</p>
<p>* Sum of all Numbers <br />
* High and Low Numbers<br />
* Odd and Even Numbers<br />
* Consecutive Numbers</p>
<p>All strategies can be used simultaneously to further improve the odds of winning.</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
English and French</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later<br />
* 4.9 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
LottoPal 1.6 is only $4.99 CAD and available in Canada exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[For users of the worlds largest business network, LinkedIn, there is now a new app that makes networking more mobile and effective. As the first app of its kind, mapp2link 1.2.2 sends users a push message on their smartphone whenever relevant LinkedIn contacts are located nearby, without compromising their privacy. Never miss a business partner again, and network with business contacts in spontaneous meetings.  The app is being launched worldwide and is available in English.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cupertino, California &#8211; match2blue, an IT service provider specializing in mobile marketing, is launching a pioneering app for LinkedIn with new functionality. LinkedIn was launched in 2003 and now boasts over 200 million registered members in over 200 countries, making it one of the worlds largest social platforms and the most influential network for business relationships. The mapp2link 1.2.2 app accesses LinkedIn and uses the smartphone to build a bridge between the Internet and real life.</p>
<p>Mobile Networking with mapp2link &#8211; How It Works:<br />
With mapp2link open or running silently in the background, users receive a message whenever a business contact who they are linked to on LinkedIn is nearby. This push function can be switched on or off for each contact individually as desired. The app displays all the users LinkedIn contacts and indicates which ones have the app installed on their smartphone. If they have the app, users can contact them straight away using the integrated chat function. If LinkedIn contacts do not have the app, they can be invited to install it with just one click. mapp2link helps you to get the most from trade fairs, conferences, and business trips. Never miss a business partner again, and network with business contacts in spontaneous meetings.</p>
<p>mapp2link is also geared to the needs of LinkedIn members when it comes to privacy and data security. The apps push messages tell the user when contacts are located in a town or district within a certain radius but does not reveal their exact location. This makes mapp2link very different from other location-based smartphone apps that allow users to pinpoint all of their contacts, and sometimes even unknown users, at any time and from any location.</p>
<p>The application is also more energy-efficient than other localization apps: thanks to the intelligent query logic, it uses less than one percent of the battery charge per hour, even when the app is running in the background.</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
English and German</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 12.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
mapp2link 1.2.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. The app is also being planned for Android and will be available in the Google Play Store in the coming months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seattle, Washington &#8211; In an effort to make effective, early music education accessible for children everywhere, Generategy, LLC has released Music Learning Lab 1.0.2 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The App prepares learners for music appreciation, using music software such as GarageBand, and further music instruction privately or in school.</p>
<p>&#8220;With the launch of Music Learning Lab, Generategy has an opportunity not only to foster the success of many budding musicians, but to demonstrate the real potential of apps in education. Our goal was not simply to make learning music fundamentals fun, but to help kids find the fun in learning and making music,&#8221; said company co-founder and General Manager Russell Layng, a philosophy major at Tulane University and jazz drummer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Through three different sections, &#8216;Learn,&#8217; &#8216;Create,&#8217; and &#8216;Play,&#8217; Music Learning Lab offers a balanced, well-rounded approach to music education.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the Learn area, 14 lessons of increasing complexity teach foundational music skills. The Play area comprises 3 mini-games to practice and extend these skills. Rewards specific to music learning are built into the program to keep learners motivated and engaged completing lessons and levels unlocks up to 15 instruments and 9 backing bands to use in the Create area. The Create area allows learners to freely express their newly acquired skills by composing their own musical pieces, using 2 instruments, drums, and a backing band all at once. Learners can choose pitches, add longer melodies and drum patterns to their pieces, and try different instruments and backing bands. Once composed, learners can see their piece performed by an animated band.</p>
<p>&#8220;Traditionally, music instruction starts with concepts that are difficult to master without certain skills. We identified these necessary skills  higher and lower pitch discrimination, interpreting sounds and melodies as written symbols, interpreting written symbols as sounds  and designed the lessons in Music Learning Lab using methods that combine our love and knowledge of music with principles derived from basic learning sciences research,&#8221; said Generategy co-founder Dr. Paul Andronis, a learning scientist who trained in classical piano for 18 years. Dr. Andronis is currently Chair of the Department of Psychology at Northern Michigan University.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Espoo, Finland &#8211; BiiSafe launches Biisafe 2.0, an affordable home security system based on mobile technology, is available as an app for iOS and Android devices. The same app can be also used as a personal safety device.</p>
<p>BiiSafe home security system sends pictures or video clips directly to the user&#8217;s phone. The app in an iOS device can be taught to recognize different alarm sounds, like fire alarm or burglary alarm, and send a notification about them to the user. The home security system also monitors power cuts. It is possible to leave a device to monitor at home, another at for example holiday house or boat, and view all the places with one personal device or use Internet browser for viewing.</p>
<p>Used as a personal safety device the BiiSafe app uses GPS location tracking allowing the user to locate his or her loved ones or for example track his or her jogging route. With the personal safety device the user can send and receive alarms on the move wherever he or she is.</p>
<p>Home security system made affordable and user friendly.</p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted to make a versatile security solution that could be used for home security and personal safety and that is affordable to anyone. Traditionally a home security system can be quite expensive and you need different devices or software for different purposes. BiiSafe app combines typically separate devices and software into one affordable package. And you can try it for free,&#8221; explains Jouni Suutarinen, CEO of BiiSafe.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have also invested in the user friendliness and the easiness to take the home security system or personal safety device into use. It takes only a couple of minutes to start using the solution. You just download the app from the App Store or Google play to two devices. One device serves as a monitoring device and with the other device, you can watch and operate the monitoring device. Devices are connected automatically and you are ready to go,&#8221; Suutarinen continues.</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
English and Finnish</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 28.0 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Biisafe 2.0 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Independent developer and author of several well-known iOS apps, Marcus Roskosch today announces Network Toolbox 2.01.01, his new productivity app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

By using this app, you will be able to identify such issues and once they are identified, they can often easily be solved.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Essen, Germany &#8211; Marcus Roskosch, independent software developer and founder of Creating Your App, just released his new iOS app Network Toolbox for iPhone, iPod and iPad.</p>
<p>Despite of rumors about the NSA Prism scandal or Chinese Hackers attacking networks and servers around the world, there is something that each of us can do to increase cyber security.</p>
<p>Network Toolbox helps to identify security issues or wrong configurations of your local or public networks that often makes it too easy for cyber attackers to break into your systems.</p>
<p>Even for an inexperienced user, it will now be easier than ever to check your home network for ports that are unintentionally left open to the web. By using this Network Toolbox app, such a security scan can be performed within seconds by following the included Guides and How-To&#8217;s. An included Glossary also explains terms from A like &#8220;Access control&#8221; to Z like &#8220;Zero day&#8221;.</p>
<p>For deeper security analysis, Network toolbox offers various tools to connect and inspect your networks. Regular Network tools like Browsers, Mail or FTP clients usually hide information about the connected server from the user. Network toolbox on the other hand can visualize such information as this information is often the first starting point for a cyber-attack. Cyber criminals can use this information to learn about your network and to find vulnerable devices.</p>
<p>By using this app, you will be able to identify such issues and once they are identified, they can often easily be solved.</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t trust the evil,&#8221; Marcus said on his website. Don&#8217;t trust what suppliers of NAS Servers, Web-Cameras, Backup devices or Network router tells you. Often those devices are shipped poorly pre-configured and just claim to be secure. Be your own Hacker and try to compromise your own network to locate those devices and protect your data.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 26.8 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Network Toolbox 2.01.01 is $5.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Francisco, California &#8211; WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in locally-manufactured laptop sleeves and designer bags and cases for digital gear, announces the svelte CitySlicker, a protective case that complements the new MacBook Air&#8217;s thin, light body. The MacBook Air&#8217;s improved battery life and enhanced Wi-Fi performance now allows people to stay connected all day, all the time. As working in cafes, restaurants, and bookstores becomes the norm, protection-on-the-go is a necessity. To keep the slim MacBook Air safe and secure without adding weight or bulk, WaterField Designs&#8217; MacBook Air Case is the perfect answer.</p>
<p>Measuring just an inch-and-a-half wide, the CitySlicker MacBook Air Case keeps the laptop snug in lightweight layers of padded lining, neoprene, and impact-resistant plastic. The black ballistic nylon exterior is graced with a supple leather flap that snaps into place, giving the case a clean, retro look. Customers can choose from bold or subtle leather colors. Small, stretchy pockets underneath the flap and a backside, semi-opaque pocket with self-locking zippers keep accessories organized. Options include adding a handle, a strap, or both.</p>
<p>WaterField offers MacBook Air sleeves and bags for Apple&#8217;s newly-announced and upgraded 11- and 13-inch models in addition to the CitySlicker. These include the classic SleeveCase, Outback Sleeve, Suede Jacket, Smart Case, Air Wallet and Travel Express. Thirteen-inch specialty laptop bags include the Racer-X, HardCase, Muzetto (Leather and Outback styles) and Medium VertiGo.</p>
<p>&#8220;The challenge of designing a case for the Air is figuring out how to keep it thin and lightweight, even with the chunky, square power supply,&#8221; shared founder Gary Waterfield. &#8220;We found a creative way to do this with the CitySlicker. The new Air may have a really long battery life, but people will still need their power supply when they&#8217;re out and about.&#8221;</p>
<p>Additional 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air Cases &amp; Sleeves:<br />
SleeveCase: A water-resistant, ballistic nylon shell envelops shock-absorbing neoprene for ultimate protection. Choice of trim color and horizontal or vertical orientation, optional D-rings and strap, and Piggyback accessory pouch. TSA-friendly.</p>
<p>Outback Sleeve: Same proven protection as the WaterField SleeveCase. A brown, waxed-canvas shell and grizzly or chocolate leather trim combine for a TSA-friendly, custom-fit.</p>
<p>Suede Jacket Sleeve: Custom-fitted, scratch-free, TSA-friendly Ultrasuede(R) sleeve for the MacBook Air. Small pull-tabs ease laptop in or out and a neoprene strip adds extra protection.</p>
<p>Smart Case: Multi-layered padding includes an Ultrasuede(R), scratch-free liner, an impact-resistant, protective insert, and a water-resistant, nylon exterior. Six color choices framed with thin, brown, leather sides. TSA-friendly.</p>
<p>Travel Express: This ultimate grab-and-go MacBook Air case fits the new laptop plus necessities. Features include scratch-free interior pockets, foam lining, an impact-resistant plastic insert, lightweight, optional D-rings and strap.</p>
<p>Air Wallet: Nylon and leather combine for a great option to carry the MacBook Air plus accessories. Features: scratch-free interior pockets; foam lining; impact-resistant plastic insert; stretchy outside back pocket; optional D-rings and strap. Six color options with distressed, brown leather sides.</p>
<p>13-inch MacBook Air Laptop Bags:<br />
Racer-X: This laptop briefcase features two zippered compartments &#8211; one ruggedly-padded, form fitted for the MacBook Air 13-inch, and another for documents and an iPad. The bag includes internal accessory pockets and a front, quick-access pocket. A rear, bottom-zippered pocket allows the bag to slip over luggage handles. Choice of six accent colors.</p>
<p>HardCase: This executive style laptop bag features a triple-layered, protective laptop chamber, two narrow pockets under the flap and a secured, soft-lined back pocket for necessities. A dual-tone leather flap, an integrated leather handle, and an aluminum paragliding buckle create a refined look. Customers choose leather flap colors.</p>
<p>Muzetto: The gorgeous Muzetto vertical messenger bag is available in distressed leather or brown waxed-canvas, both with a choice of six nylon accent colors and five sizes including one for each the 11- and 13-inch Airs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sydney, Australia &#8211; InnoLab today is thrilled to announce the release of Bowling Paradise FREE 2.4 for iOS, an update to their innovative, 3D bowling simulation game for everyone. With a powerful physics engine, this interactive game computes the effects of velocity, angle, spin, collision, and gravity for both the bowling ball and pins.

Bowling Paradise FREE includes 6 exotic lane locations/styles, including undulating lanes and those in outer space where the ball flies onto lane. Bowling Paradise FREE is a fun, unique 3D Bowling Game with many options to choose from.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Domsware today introduces Novae 1.0 for iOS its match-4 tile game with a circular board where tiles "fall" inward, toward the center, following a spiral pattern. With circular tiles of five different colors, players choose where to place new tiles one by one. Four or more tiles of the same color, contiguous horizontally or vertically, make a match, removing the tiles while adding to the score. Novae requires all matches to have at least one tile touching the center on one of its axes.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toulouse, France &#8211; Domsware today is pleased to introduce Novae 1.0 for iOS, its innovative, match-4, tile game played on a circular board where tiles &#8220;fall&#8221; inward, toward the center, following a spiral pattern. With circular tiles of five different colors, players choose where to place new tiles one by one. Four or more tiles of the same color, contiguous horizontally and/or vertically, make a match, and the tiles disappear while adding to the score. Remaining tiles may fall inward after a match. Novae derives its name from stars, as the attractions laws recall a phenomenon called &#8220;accretion&#8221; commonly found in astrophysics. Matches must include one tile touching the center on one of its axes. Featuring infinite levels of play, the player must restart from the beginning at level 0 after failing any level.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Classic, match-4 action<br />
* Tiles fall inward, toward the center<br />
* Tiles come in 5 different colors<br />
* Match 4 or more tiles and they are removed, adding to your score<br />
* Level mechanism and numerous scoring bonus, multipliers and combos<br />
* Player can see in advance the next tile to be dropped on the board<br />
* Game Center integration with LeaderBoard and Achievements<br />
* No in-app purchases: pay once, play forever</p>
<p>Tile matching games are among the most popular puzzle games in the App Store. The eye and mind are drawn to the panoply of small, variously colored tiles in motion, and the goal of creating proximity (usually match-3 or more). Novae takes the classic match concept and creates a fascinating variation, where tiles do not fall down to the bottom of the screen; they fall inward, toward the screen&#8217;s center. Moreover, not every grouping of four or more like-colored tiles makes a match; at least one tile in the grouping must be one of the four tiles touching the center on one of its axes.</p>
<p>Novae&#8217;s gameboard is an empty Cartesian graph set in interstellar space. The X and Y axes are each the thickness of one tile. The 0-point of the graph is the absolute center of the gameboard, and no tile can occupy it. The four central squares, though there is no actual grid on the board, correspond to  1 and -1 on the X (horizontal) axis and  1 and -1 on the Y (vertical) axis. Tiles are dropped, one by one, at either the far left or the far right of the X-axis, or the top or bottom of the Y-axis. Once dropped, tiles fall toward O, the center grid square. As axes fill up, tiles spill out in a spiral, clockwise direction, ultimately creating a circle of tiles.</p>
<p>Free from time trial and other pressures, the player is free to enjoy the strategic subtleties of the game. The player can see the current and the next tile available to be dropped, which allows for thoughtful planning. Players usually have a choice of four axis endpoints to drop their tile. While a maximum of four different like-colored tile groupings can be made, the game includes tiles of five different colors (RGB and MY). As unmatchable tiles fill the board, the player is challenged to make a match that will bring an unmatchable color to one of the center squares.</p>
<p>&#8220;I designed the game to be Zen with no enervating gameplay,&#8221; commented creator Dominique Vial. &#8220;I wanted an attractive and immersive game you can play again and again after a hard day&#8217;s work or in meditative phase on the couch. A sober and soothing design to not distract the player for the main goal: play and have fun. I did not forget gamers, as there are strategies and a lot of &#8216;tips&#8217; to improve scores: multipliers, special events, combos, etc.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perth, Australia &#8211; Stairways Software today announces Keyboard Maestro 6.0 for Mac OS X, a major update to its feature-filled application that allows users to record and/or create macros, shortcuts that can be activated at any time. The app offers more than 200 different Actions in 21 Categories, which can be initiated via 16 different Triggers. The update includes the following: Macro Syncing Across Macs, Plug-In Actions, Styled Text, Multiple Named Clipboards, Control over Safari and Chrome, New Icons, Icon Chooser/Creator, Trigger Macros by Name, Retina-Display Compatibility, and a Macro Debugger.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Create or record custom macro shortcuts that you can activate at any time<br />
* You simply define what you want your Mac to do and when you want it done<br />
* Comes complete with a Clipboard History, saving everything you copy for later use<br />
* Complete Macro Library, Macro Editor, and Macro Group Editor<br />
* Macro Actions Library contains 200+ Actions in the following 21 Categories</p>
<p>According to Wikipedia, &#8220;Keyboard macros and mouse macros allow short sequences of keystrokes and mouse actions to be transformed into other, usually more time-consuming, sequences of keystrokes and mouse actions. In this way, frequently used or repetitive sequences of keystrokes and mouse movements can be automated. Separate programs for creating these macros are called macro recorders.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among the most powerful Macro apps available for OS X, Keyboard Maestro lets users customize the way their Mac works. They can easily create or record custom macro shortcuts that can be activated at any time, navigate running applications, work with an unlimited number of clipboards, open documents when and where desired, type sentences with the press of a key, expand abbreviations into entire paragraphs, control web applications, and much more.</p>
<p>Keyboard Maestro comes complete with a Clipboard History, saving everything copied for later use, as well as Named Clipboards, which can store commonly used images or text. The app also includes a powerful Application Switcher and Window Switcher so users can cycle through applications or windows, closing, hiding, and launching, as well as an Application Launcher to quickly launch applications.</p>
<p>The mature application is ideal for both novices and experts. An illustrated, interactive Tutorial demonstrates the basics of Macros in minutes. For advanced users, the app includes a complete Macro Library, Macro Editor, and Macro Group Editor. A Macro Debugger and Conflict Palette make constructing complex, customized Macros easy.</p>
<p>The Macro Actions Library contains 200+ Actions in the following 21 Categories: Application Control, Clipboard, Control Flow and Behavior of a Macro, Debugger, Execution, File, Google Chrome Control, Image, Interface Control, iTunes Control, Keyboard Maestro Control, MIDI, Notifications, Open, QT Player Controls, Safari Controls, Switchers, System Control, Text, Variables, and Web. Also supplied are 16 different Triggers, which activate a selected Macro, including: Hot Key Trigger, Typed String, Applications, Login, Engine Launch, System Wake, Time, While Logged In, Macro Palette, Status Menu, Public Web, Mounted Volume, USB Device, Wireless Network, Device Key, MIDI Note, iPhone, and By Script.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whether you want to automatically expand a block of text when you start typing it, or have your Mac automatically perform a series of steps with a single keystroke, Keyboard Maestro is the complete solution,&#8221; stated Peter N Lewis of Stairways Software. &#8220;Record your Macro as you perform each step, or build using the Macro Library and Editor.&#8221;</p>
<p>System Requirements:<br />
* Requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later<br />
* 64-bit only with Automatic Reference Counting<br />
* Web Server is built into Keyboard Maestro Engine<br />
* 38.3 MB</p>

<p>Stairways Software was founded in April 1995 by Peter N Lewis to further develop and sell the world-class Mac software that made him famous. Stairways is a privately held Proprietary Limited company based in Perth, Western Australia, and Peter continues to lead the company as President and Chief Executive Officer. Peter&#8217;s goal is to bring high quality Internet and Unix tools to the Mac, combining the traditional Mac ease-of-use with the power of the Internet and Unix. His mastery of Unix also proved invaluable, as Apple transitioned Mac OS to the Unix-based Mac OS X. Along the way, the company acquired Keyboard Maestro, which company members themselves found to be an indispensable productivity tool, and they have continued to enhance its features and usability. Stairways Software remains a small efficient company, which means when users contact them, he or she will be dealing with someone who can directly and personally handle any questions.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brighton, United Kingdom &#8211; Aimer Media is delighted to announce the release of Grayson Perry&#8217;s first app, Grayson Perry: The Vanity of Small Differences 1.0, available for iPad and iPhone, only in the App Store.</p>
<p>The app is launched to coincide with the opening of the Royal Academy&#8217;s 2013 Summer Exhibition, which features Grayson Perry&#8217;s tapestries.  With Perry&#8217;s tapestries being the highlight for many visitors, this app makes the perfect companion with which to get the most out of this part of the exhibition.</p>
<p>Grayson Perry: The Vanity of Small Differences brings you up closed and personal with the six ambitious tapestries created by artist Grayson Perry to explore the subject of British taste.</p>
<p>Grayson Perry himself talks you through each of the tapestries, revealing the story and inspirations for this fascinating piece. This audio commentary enables users to hear the artist&#8217;s thoughts, and is supported by high resolution versions of the tapestries, allowing the user to zoom in to explore the tapestries&#8217; every stitch in glorious colour. As you explore the tapestries, hotspots are revealed to reveal deeper meaning and significance of various elements within the work. The app also has in-depth coverage of the important art historical references and insights into the complex task of creating the textile works.</p>
<p>The Vanity of Small Differences tells the story of class mobility and the influence social class has on our aesthetic taste, inspired by William Hogarth&#8217;s &#8216;A Rake&#8217;s Progress&#8217;. The six tapestries, each measuring 2m x 4m each, chart the &#8220;class journey&#8221; made by fictional young Tim Rakewell, and include many of the characters, incidents and objects Grayson Perry encountered on journeys through Sunderland, Tunbridge Wells and The Cotswolds during the making of the television series. In the series Perry goes &#8220;on a safari amongst the taste tribes of Britain,&#8221; to gather inspiration for his artwork, literally weaving the characters he meets into a narrative, with an attention to the minutiae of contemporary taste every bit as acute as that in Hogarth&#8217;s 18th century paintings that inspired the artwork.</p>
<p>Perry created his six monumental tapestries last year for the Channel 4 series &#8216;All in the Best Possible Taste with Grayson Perry&#8217;, which was subsequently awarded a BAFTA.</p>
<p>The app helps to bring a further dimension to the stunning set of tapestries and to reveal additional significant elements that lie within the threads.</p>
<p>Adrian Driscoll, Director, Aimer Media, said, &#8220;Aimer is delighted to be able to work with Grayson Perry&#8217;s astonishing set of tapestries, we hope that we have managed in this app to reveal just some of the hidden, and not-so-hidden, layers of meaning embedded in every stitch.&#8221;</p>
<p>The tapestries will also be displayed in Sunderland as part of the Festival of the North East that opens later in June.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 207 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Grayson Perry 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Reference category.</p>

The engaging storyline promotes reading in a fun and interactive environment and lets kids enjoy the excitement of being part of a story by literally stepping into the shoes of the protagonist.</p>
<p>&#8220;MyStoryTime lets your children&#8217;s imagination run wild as they become the main character of their own personalized adventure,&#8221; said Austin Archibald, Co-Founder, MyStoryTime, LLC, also a father of two who strives to get a better understanding of what fascinates kids.</p>
<p>Key features of MyStoryTime iPad app include:<br />
* Ability to personalize a storybook by becoming the main character<br />
* Option to choose photos to include up to 2 faces to the story<br />
* Interactive content such as parallax which replicates an underwater feel<br />
* Option for push-button narration (The child may read the story aloud or have it read to him)</p>
<p>Archibald continued, &#8220;The easy and intuitive app interface is simple enough for a child to handle, while the stories are entertaining for the whole family. With MyStoryTime, stories can become lasting memories.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unlike most traditional books that fail to hold a child&#8217;s interest over time, MyStoryTime can be used repeatedly over and over with endless possibilities and many future storylines. The debut book, &#8220;If I were a Scuba Diver&#8221; is the first interactive title released by the company, which has already received a number of positive reviews from customers.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are always interested in hearing from our customers. Things they like, things they don&#8217;t, or just general questions &#8211; we want to know,&#8221; concluded Archibald.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dresden, Germany &#8211; Did you ever dream of being a pet doctor? With &#8220;Pet Doc&#8221; this dream might come true. &#8220;Pet Doc&#8221; is a pet-raising simulation game where players have to nurse cats, horses, dogs, birds, guinea pigs and rabbits back to full health. Grow your own vet clinic to a thriving business and become every animal&#8217;s best friend! The game has finally been released on the Mac App Store.</p>
<p>About Pet Doc:<br />
Did you ever dream of being a pet doctor? With &#8220;Pet Doc&#8221; this dream might come true. Start up your own practice and treat all those four-legged and feathered pets. Each day people come to you with their pets: rabbits, budgerigars, cats, dogs and even horses. So you will learn more about treating and healing animals and you will decide when to build which building.</p>
<p>Sometimes it might become necessary to accommodate the animals and take care of them for a couple of days, so that they get well again. You can build extra stables and accomodations for them. Playing with the pets and bear company are among your daily duties as well as feeding them, cleaning up and the daily treatment of your little patients. But although working with these lovely pets is a lot of fun, even the best pet doc needs some time out. You can go to town and buy yourself a new outfit. Or you can saddle one of your horses and go for a long ride at the beach or through the nearby forest. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your stethoscope and prove to everyone that you are the best pet doc out there.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Directed towards children ages four through twelve, the Scouting Thomas iPad app strives to bring outdoor skills edutainment to kids in a way that encourages positive interactivity, challenges, and rewards. Set in the world of the fictional Junior Campout Scouts, the great outdoors, and camping, the characters emphasize teamwork, safety, friendship and respect. The app features animated cartoons, interactive jokes and comics, a how-to project, a game section and more.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Northridge, California &#8211; Created by start up developer Flying Monkey Pie Productions, LLC &#8211; led by animator Bryon Carson and songwriter Steve Belkin, Scouting Thomas introduced Thomas and his friends in the Junior Campout Scouts to the world via their iTunes App Store debut on June 1st, 2013.</p>
<p>The Scouting Thomas iPad app, directed towards children ages four through twelve, has found an unexpected appreciation from people of all ages. A hilariously fun entertainment and activity center, Scouting Thomas strives to bring outdoor skills edutainment to kids in a way that encourages positive interactivity, challenges, and rewards.</p>
<p>Animated and co-designed by the talented Bryon Carson who was Senior Animator for the original Jumpstart Educational software series from Knowledge Adventure and Animation Director for the children&#8217;s apps The Truly Great Noodle and Warner Bros.&#8217; Happy Feet Two App, Scouting Thomas caters to the under-served worldwide community of children involved in outdoors focused programs and organizations. Not just through animation, but also through original music penned by co-designer Steve Belkin and writing partner Kevin Jones, both of whom have had music featured in television and film including the children&#8217;s classic &#8220;Where The Red Fern Grows&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Steve and I, as well as producing partners Chris Woodward and Bob Prasad, are former Cubmasters,&#8221; says Carson, &#8220;And as leaders and parents of kids who have been involved in these kinds of groups, we noticed that there didn&#8217;t seem to be much material out there that reflected the experiences our children and their friends were having. We all felt a really strong need to combine our talents and come up with a concept that kids could relate to, whether they are involved in Cub Scouts, Navigators, Woodcraft, Camp Fire, Y-Guides or any other similar organizations. Or even if they are not and are just interested in some great characters.&#8221;</p>
<p>Designed to entertain and inspire, Scouting Thomas is a true multimedia app that features animated cartoons, interactive jokes and comics, a how-to project, and a game section featuring a combination crossword puzzle meets word scramble game aptly called Scrambl&#8217;dcross. And the centerpiece is an original campfire song called &#8220;The Buddy System&#8221; that shows everyone the value of being safe by taking a buddy along instead of doing things alone. After viewing the animated music video, kids will be humming the tune in no time at all.</p>
<p>Guiding the user through the app is a group of fun characters with relatable and loveable personalities. &#8220;We wanted to have characters that our kids could identify with.&#8221; says Belkin, &#8220;There&#8217;s a little bit of all the kids we&#8217;ve mentored over the years in each of these characters. There&#8217;s the over imaginative Thomas, his loyal friend Buddy, the always supportive Devon, Ernesto, the builder, the cool and kind James, and the loveable collector, Mouse.&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPad. <br />
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later.<br />
* Size is 49.9 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability: <br />
Scouting Thomas 1.0 is $3.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Promo codes are available by request for qualified reviewers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vilnius, Lithuania &#8211; Mobureau today is pleased to introduce NiteStand 1.0 &#8211; Alarm Clock, Weather &amp; more!, free for iPad, its sleek app with a boldly modern alarm clock display in white numerals, set against dramatic photo backgrounds depicting present weather conditions: sun, rain, clouds, or snow. In either portrait or landscape orientation, NiteStand cleanly displays all the following: current time with seconds; current location with temperature and full weather data &amp; forecast; day &amp; date, 1 of 50,000 inspiring quotes from famous people; and daily horoscopes.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Sleek, modern design<br />
* Beautiful and simple interface<br />
* Works in portrait and landscape mode<br />
* Works in the background<br />
* Works with the device screen off<br />
* Retina-display ready &#8211; hi-res graphics and photographs<br />
* Alarm settings &#8211; multiple and recurring alarms, multiple alarm sounds, wake up to your favorite music, configurable snooze<br />
* Clock settings &#8211; 12 and 24 hour mode, current date<br />
* Weather settings &#8211; beautiful weather conditions backgrounds, choose various locations, C and F mode, displays wind, pressure and humidity<br />
* Quotes &#8211; library of 50,000 inspiring, insightful quotes from famous people<br />
* Horoscopes &#8211; daily horoscopes for your zodiac sign<br />
* Music player &#8211; play music tracks from your library<br />
* Sleep timer &#8211; fall asleep to music<br />
* Adjustable brightness of the display<br />
* Built-in flashlight/nite-light</p>
<p>A vivid example of innovative, modern design, NiteStand takes the evolution of the iPad alarm clock to the next step. For example, center screen in very large, white numerals is the current time. In the space between hours and minutes, usually occupied by a flashing colon, is a small, vertical, numeric display of seconds ticking by. The app&#8217;s most important function, time, grabs the attention first. And if the user cares to pay closer attention, greater detail is available just by looking more carefully.</p>
<p>Touching the alarm icon, barely visible, opens a complete Edit Alarm window, where users can set the exact alarm time on the Apple picker/odometer display. Recurring alarms can be entered, as well as custom alarms for any weekday or weekend. Available are 10 alarm sounds, or users can choose to hear particular or random music from their library. Alarm volume, alarm fade in, and alarm labels are also user configurable. Beneath the alarm icon are icons for the music player and the sleep timer, which lets users fall asleep to music that turns itself off after a designated period.</p>
<p>The Settings panel lets users update weather every minute, every 30 minutes, or a choice of 6 other intervals up to 24 hours. Multiple locations can be entered, and users can set their zodiac sign and the interval between new quotes. An auto lock feature turns off the screen to save battery life, if necessary, while keeping the alarm armed. Double tapping the screen creates a convenient flashlight, and pinching the screen controls its brightness.</p>
<p>&#8220;I invite every iPad owner to download NiteStand free and enjoy all its many convenience features,&#8221; commented Egidijus Basys of Mobureau. &#8220;For those who appreciate beauty in all its forms, this is the alarm clock app for you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later<br />
* 60.4 MB</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Independent software developer, David Zacik today introduces iLetterz 1.0, his new, quick-thinking word game developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iLetterz aims to improve important spelling, word comprehension, and thinking skills for players of all ages. Players guess words based on descriptions or definitions as individual letters in the word are revealed. The faster the player guesses correctly, the more points are earned - and whoever gets the most points in the shortest time wins.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trencin, Slovakia &#8211; A new, quick-thinking word game app called iLetterz helps boost speed of thought, vocabulary, and spelling. That makes it not only great fun but also highly valuable in terms of language learning, memory enhancement, and strengthening of brainpower. The game, popular with all ages, is now available in the Apple App Store. Players guess words based on descriptions or definitions as individual letters in the word are revealed. The faster the player guesses correctly, the more points are earned &#8211; and whoever gets the most points in the shortest time wins. </p>
<p>Innovative built-in features include:<br />
* 30 thrilling and engaging levels of play with periodic updates<br />
* The app contains more than 2,700 word definitions<br />
* At levels 1-10 players have four minutes to earn 50 points<br />
* At levels 11-30 they only have three minutes to earn 60 points<br />
* Use &#8220;bombs&#8221; to get hints for guessing words<br />
* Earn more &#8220;bombs&#8221; by winning competitions<br />
* Share with Facebook friends to receive free extra &#8220;bombs&#8221;<br />
* Buy more &#8220;bombs&#8221; online for a winning advantage</p>
<p>&#8220;I have recently noticed the big success of word games, where users guess the word according to four pictures,&#8221; explains iLetterz founder David Zacik. &#8220;But I would like to bring something new! The users in this game guess the words according to the definitions, and I have also changed how the game is played. Previously players could not guess the word, so they were not able to continue. By dividing the game into two levels with time limits, it&#8217;s possibly to just skip a word and keep going. The goal is to win by accumulating enough points within a specific timeframe.&#8221;</p>
<p>As players advance to higher levels the game speeds up, too, adding an extra element of competition and excitement. &#8220;Bombing&#8221; is one of the coolest new features because it gives the players clues to keep the game progress moving ahead in a dynamic way. </p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later<br />
* 12.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
iLetterz 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. To see the game in action, see the YouTube trailer for an entertaining and informative video demonstration. Or check out the official iLetterz website homepage. But for the ultimate hands-on experience, download the fun new game app safely, securely, and conveniently right now at the Apple iPhone App Store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chandler, Arizona &#8211; Flip Runner is fast paced endless runner with a gravitational twist! Run and flip your way over saw blades, spikes, and ninja stars as you race to nowhere in an endless quest for head wear! Deadly Serious Media, in conjunction with OskarDeveloper, is excited to introduce Flip Runner for iPhone, their simple endless runner with a twist, where the player guides Flip through an endless gauntlet of dastardly hazards.

Flip, the game&#8217;s protagonist, runs along the center of the screen and jumps into the clouds above only to shoot out of the bottom, running upside down!

<p>As Flip runs lightning bolts and shields will appear. These two power ups are simple and sweet. Grabbing the shield will keep Flip alive for one hit of a hazard, but the speed boost is where its at. Collecting 3 lightning bolts will encase Flip in a massive current of electricity, making him invulnerable and speed him up for increased distance! It&#8217;s as exciting to use as it is to watch!</p>
<p>Flip Runner also has an in-game shop. Money is accumulated 1 of 2 ways; running or in-app purchase. Flip can earn about $1 for every 150m ran, but if that isn&#8217;t fast enough for you, you can also buy currency packs and a money doubler via the game&#8217;s shop. The game shop has a few items like starting with boost, starting with shield, or double money for one round, but the most robust area of the shop is the hats. Flip can sport 25 different hats a heads that you can buy using all your hard earned money.</p>
<p>The game play is familiar and solid, the shop and achievements keep you running, and the game&#8217;s soundtrack is fun and catchy. Flip runner is a clean and simple endless runner that will make for a great addition to your mobile devices library of games.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ho Chi Minh, Viet Nam &#8211; Have you ever dreamed to have photoshop for your mobile device? If yes, you are sharing the same dream with LunacatStudios. The company just released inStatus, an awesome photo editing app allowing you to add beautiful captions making your photos artistic.</p>
<p>inStatus is a feature-rich app. It contains 50 amazing preset templates designed by professional designers helping you impress your friends with beautiful sayings/quotes within only one touch. The app also comes with a beautiful selective set of fonts highly recommended by designers around the world. The color palette embedded in the app is carefully chosen with many modern and trendy colors to make your design professional and gorgeous effortlessly.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been wishing to have an app like photoshop but simpler for my iphone but I have waited so long enough that I decided to make one for myself&#8221; &#8211; Tien, founder of LunacatStudios shared &#8211; &#8220;I used to spend at least an hour to make my photo look good, but now I only need to spend 5 minutes to do the same task on my mobile device with this app&#8221;.</p>
<p>Unlike many other adding-caption-to-photo apps, inStatus is indeed a complete photo editor with many cool features can be easily found from PC/Mac software such as Photoshop, Pixelmator but rarely from any mobile apps: undo/redo, autosave, multiple layers and more.</p>
<p>&#8220;Undo/redo feature is a crucial feature to help you design with confidence when any mistakes can be fixed easily.&#8221; &#8211; Tien continued. &#8220;While autosave is a cool feature to save a lot of hours for the users of inStatus. When using mobile apps, you will see any of them will be crashed once a while. Sometimes, it is not because the app has a bad implementation but because it needs to share the limited memory on the mobile device with other apps. And when the memory is not enough, it can be killed at any time.&#8221;</p>
<p>With autosave feature, you do not have to worry about losing your in-progress work when you have to close your app to run an errand. And like other photo sharing app, inStatus allows users to share the edited photo to popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and instagram. You can also save it to your photo album or share it through email. inStatus encourages users to share their edited photos to the community gallery embedded in the app.So that other users can visit it right in the app, put a comment, like, or share back to their facebook if they want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Revere, Massachusetts &#8211; Indie developer James Hollender&#8217;s iOS universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, Vitamin K, includes a notification to users about a food that&#8217;s low in Vitamin K but can be life-threating to Coumadin users. The Vitamin K app allows users to easily find out how much vitamin K there is in over 900 different foods which is critical in helping keep the effectiveness of their blood thinning medications working properly. </p>
<p>It has come to our attention by one of our Vitamin K app users that grapefruit can be life threatening to Coumadin (Warfarin) users. Based on this information and additional research, the following warning is now prominently shown in the &#8220;Coumadin &amp; Vitamin K&#8221; info page in the app:</p>
<p>&#8220;GRAPEFRUIT INTERACTIONS &#8211; Grapefruit, whether in whole fruit or in juice form, contains chemicals that can interfere with the enzymes that break down Coumadin in the body. This could cause the drug to build up in the bloodstream, leading to an unintentional overdose of the medication.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Vitamin K app allows users to easily find out how much vitamin K there is in over 900 different foods which is critical in helping keep the effectiveness of their blood thinning medications working properly. The foods are rated from Extremely Low to Extremely High in Vitamin K.</p>
<p>Version 4.0 adds Copy Functionality &#8230; 1) Copy single intake item to today; and 2) Copy entire day&#8217;s intake items to today.</p>
<p>In all 10 iNutrient apps (iKals, iCarbs, iCholesterol, iFiber, iPotassium, iProteins, iSatFat, iSodium, iSugars and Vitamin K), besides making full use of the iPhone 5 taller screen size, is the capability to record Custom Serving Sizes from 1 to 500 grams in 0.1 gram increments. Users can easily adjust the amounts while viewing the weight in not only grams, but also kilograms, ounces and pounds. In addition to immediate weight updates as you change the number of grams, the nutrient content and calories get updated also. This makes it easy to record the exact serving size you&#8217;re looking for based on any of the variables: 9 for Vitamin K, 6 for iCals, and 7 for each of the others.</p>
<p>If you take blood thinning medications like Coumadin(R) or Warfarin (also known as Jantoven, Marfarin, Lawarin, Waran and Marevan), then this is an app you will truly make use of on a regular basis. Most lists providing information on the content of vitamin K (K1, K1D &amp; K2) in foods generally contain only a limited number of foods, and often they don&#8217;t indicate the serving size. It is important to understand that the goal isn&#8217;t to not eat any foods with vitamin K, but rather to keep relatively constant the amount of vitamin K ingested each day so the amount of Coumadin(R) prescribed can work effectively. This can be different for every person using blood thinning medications, and this is why doctors require occasional blood tests as they indicate if the dosage needs to be adjusted.</p>
<p>All too often we hear that you should stay away from dark green leafy vegetables if you are using Coumadin, but there are a host of other foods containing vitamin K. Even the dark green leafy vegetables contain varying amounts of vitamin K. Further, each food has its own characteristics and sometimes whether it is fresh, frozen or canned can make a difference in the vitamin K content. The important thing to understand is you may be inadvertently ingesting something which you think doesn&#8217;t contain any vitamin K when in fact it does. A good example would be carrots which contain varying amounts of vitamin K. A single baby carrot has only 0.9 mcg (very low) while a cup of canned carrot juice contains 36.6 mcg (high). </p>
<p>The following if from a recent review by Sherry:</p>
<p>&#8220;Just a note to thank you for such a wonderful application. I love the color code that is used to note the level of Vitamin K in each food listed, quick guide to reference and if you need more information that is also available. I was amazed at the foods that contain VK that are not green, mind blowing. I love to eat tomato sauce based foods and if it were not for this app, I would be on overload. For those of you just thinking about down loading, go ahead and download. You will not be disappointed. You are also able to email with questions about foods you are unsure of and receive a reply, from a person. No computer generated response stating someone will contact you. Thanks James, for all your help.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Vitamin K app provides information about foods and how they are rated for Vitamin K content based on preparation and serving sizes. This is provided as a means to assist in deciding which foods to eat if you are using blood thinning medications such as Coumadin or Warfarin. The foods are rated from Extremely Low to Extremely High in Vitamin K. The following colors help readily identify which is which:<br />
* Black = Rated Extremely High in Vitamin K (700.0 &#8211; 1146.6 mcg)<br />
* Dark Red = Rated Very High in Vitamin K (300.0 &#8211; 699.9 mcg)<br />
* Red = Rated High in Vitamin K (25.0 &#8211; 299.9 mcg)<br />
* Orange = Rated Moderately High in Vitamin K (20.0 &#8211; 24.9 mcg)<br />
* Yellow = Rated Moderate in Vitamin K (15.0 &#8211; 19.9 mcg)<br />
* Yellow-Green = Rated Moderately Low in Vitamin K (10.0 &#8211; 14.9 mcg)<br />
* Green = Rated Low in Vitamin K (5.0 &#8211; 9.0 mcg)<br />
* Cyan = Rated Very Low in Vitamin K (0.1 &#8211; 4.9 mcg)<br />
* White = Rated Extremely Low in Vitamin K (less than 0.1 mcg)</p>
<p>There are eight tables listing foods:<br />
* All Foods<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Miami Beach, Florida &#8211; Dr. Herb Ross, CEO of Coach on the Spot Productions, today is pleased to announce that Kegel Aerobics for iOS has been named the Cosmopolitan Magazine Download of the Month for June 2013. Dr. Ross created the app in response to research indicating that while most women were familiar with Kegel exercises for the pelvic floor muscles, only a small percentage practiced the exercises regularly. The app serves as a combination of personal trainer, physiotherapist, and coach to help women achieve the many benefits of Kegels. These benefits have been scientifically proven, and may include: improved sex life, prevention of pelvic organ prolapse, and reduced urinary incontinence and distress.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* 9 levels of Kegel Aerobics workouts<br />
* Verbal instructions and graphical cues<br />
* Improved sexual and urinary function<br />
* Complete, easy to follow instructions<br />
* Built-in reminders prevent forgetting to exercise</p>
<p>&#8220;Our surveys show that although women know these exercises, they primarily do short contractions and releases,&#8221; stated Dr. Ross. &#8220;They do not do long contractions, and they do them whenever it might occur to them. Doing pelvic floor muscle exercises haphazardly does not build strong, toned muscles.&#8221; In addition, &#8220;Doing Kegel exercises with a full bladder or while emptying your bladder can actually weaken the muscles, as well as lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder &#8211; which increases the risk of a urinary tract infection.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kegel Aerobics for iOS features nine progressively more challenging levels, each of which includes verbal instructions, graphical cues for contraction and release, and a progress bar that measures the percentage of reps completed. Each level includes a carefully constructed workout routine that includes short, medium, and long contractions, as well as contractions and releases of mixed duration.</p>
<p>The National Association For Continence is a national, private, non-profit organization, and it works as a partner with Kegel Aerobics in helping to educate the public. In her editorial this June, &#8220;Get That App and Get Active Again&#8221;, Nancy Muller, PhD and Executive Director of NAFC stated, &#8220;Like other muscles throughout our body, pelvic floor muscles are prone to weaken and atrophy if not exercised and used regularly. Women, more so than men, appear to be less motivated to stick with a pelvic muscle exercise routine. Women also have greater difficulty identifying these muscles. Its estimated by clinicians that as many as half of all women who initially try to do the contractions without instruction do not do them correctly. Some people have let their muscles weaken to the point they cannot be readily identified and therefore need the help of a physical therapist and biofeedback to get jumpstarted. This app takes away the guess work and the need to post reminders around the house or in your car. Built into the function is a reminder signal right on the smart phone housing the app.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These exercises need to begin at age 30 for women to achieve &#8216;Toned Abs and Better Orgasms&#8217; as explained in the June 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine,&#8221; stated Dr. Ross. &#8220;We&#8217;re delighted that Kegel Aerobics for iOS has been chosen Cosmopolitan Magazine&#8217;s Download of the Month, since &#8216;You could score more intense orgasms, a stronger core, and reduced lower-back pain.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later<br />
* 3.1 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Kegel Aerobics 1.2 is $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health &amp; Fitness category. Prostate Aerobics 1.3 is also available in the Health &amp; Fitness category for $2.99. Both apps are available for Android. Review copies are available on request.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helsinki, Finland &#8211; Popular music app developer Musopia has confirmed its support of the guitar industry by joining the Guitar and Accessories Marketing Association (GAMA) for 2013. The purpose of GAMA is to build a robust guitar industry through the promotion of guitar playing, and Musopia is working to further this objective as a member of the 80-year-old industry association. GAMA pursues its goal through the introduction of programs that support guitar education in schools. Through its support of GAMA, and with its educational music app offerings, Musopia is ensuring a strong market for guitar products for years to come. </p>
<p>&#8220;Musopia is proud to support GAMA&#8217;s mission to help tens of thousands of children receive guitar instruction each year,&#8221; said Paula Lehto, marketing director for Musopia. &#8220;GAMA is creating a musical legacy that will last decades.&#8221;  </p>
<p>&#8220;The mission of Musopia  is the same as GAMA&#8217;s &#8211; we want to give people a better chance to enjoy making music,&#8221; Lehto said. &#8220;Our FourChords Guitar Karaoke app makes learning to play new songs easier than ever before, which keeps beginner guitarists motivated and having fun. The faster they can learn to play the songs they love, the more excited they are to learn more.&#8221;  </p>
<p>Musopia has received excellent feedback from classroom music teachers as well as private guitar instructors who use the FourChords app as a teaching tool. In fact, according to a Finnish Music Startups survey of people who play an instrument as a hobby, as many as two-thirds (68%) of the respondents reported using some kind of music software to assist them in singing or playing an instrument. </p>
<p>&#8220;I think the music education revolution has started; the Internet and mobile technology are changing the way people are learning music,&#8221; Lehto added. &#8220;We are very excited to be the first app developer member in GAMA, and we want to support music teachers to explore the possibilities of these new technologies in the classroom.&#8221;</p>
<p>About GAMA:<br />
The Guitar &amp; Accessories Marketing Association (GAMA) is a trade association comprised of guitar makers and guitar accessory suppliers. The purpose of the organization is to expand and grow the market for guitar products and to convene in the spirit of building a better industry. GAMA programs have brought guitar instruction to 1.28 million students and influenced $167 million in sales of guitar products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hitchin, United Kingdom &#8211; New app, AcoustiCards 1.9, sends professionally produced, personalized musical greetings in minutes, from an iPhone or iPad, to anyone. </p>
<p>Father&#8217;s Day (June 16th) is approaching faster than you can say &#8216;You&#8217;re not going out in that&#8217; and the folks at AcoustiCards are offering free songs via their website to cheer the grumpiest old men, and reducing the price of sending a full length song from their app by over 25% for Father&#8217;s Day. From Monday 10th to Sunday 16th inclusive, a full two-minute song with a name and much more personalization will cost just 1.49 (UK) or $1.99 (US).</p>
<p>AcoustiCards are bringing cheer around the world, to folks like comedian Marcus Brigstocke (&#8216;Wow!! For me!? But how? That&#8217;s awesome&#8221;) to singer Tom Robinson (&#8220;This made me smile&#8221;) and leading technology commentator Adam Engst (&#8220;I found a huge grin breaking out on my face as I listened to my song&#8230; Give it a try!&#8221;)</p>
<p>The AcoustiCards 1.9 app has been developed by award-winning Hertfordshire-based radio producer, Paul Arnold. He was facing some tough times eighteen months ago when he decided to throw his money and energy into creating a unique personalized musical greetings app. Paul brought his skills in audio production, music and interactive projects together to create AcoustiCards, an iPhone and iPad app that seamlessly mixes hundreds of options into its songs.</p>
<p>Paul says, &#8220;Having an idea for an app, is in many ways, the modern equivalent of having an unfinished novel in a drawer somewhere. To see the smile on people&#8217;s faces when they get to a line in the song that is perfect for them &#8211; that makes it all worthwhile.&#8221;</p>
<p>AcoustiCards is growing and welcomes ideas for songs, or approaches from a singer or a band who would like to be involved.</p>
<p>Notes To Editors:<br />
* The AcoustiCards app is free to download for iPhone, iPad and iTouch<br />
* Recipients do not need to download the AcoustiCards app to access their songs<br />
* Users can preview as many personalized AcoustiCards musical greetings and jingles as they like before making their selection<br />
* Songs cost from $0.99 to $2.99 to send<br />
* For more information or to arrange an interview with app creator Paul Arnold, please contact Paul by phone or email<br />
* To hear example cards, please visit AcoustiCards online</p>
<p>About the creator:<br />
Paul Arnold is a radio producer and engineer with three Sony awards and an equal number of BBC Innovation awards to his name. Working two days a week making trails and packages for BBC Radio 4 and 4 extra, he freelances the rest of the time. His previous work has included Chain Gang, the bite-sized radio drama told by its listeners, and Easter Diaries, winner of a 2012 Jerusalem award at BAFTA in October. More details can be found at Pictures in Sound online.</p>
<p>Story of production: <br />
Having an idea for an app up your sleeve is, in many ways, the modern equivalent of having an unfinished novel in a drawer somewhere.</p>
<p>With a background in audio production, music and interactive projects, Paul wanted to create something that would let people send a personalized song as a gift or greeting. From the initial idea of taking requests for songs by email (too expensive) to doing versions of &#8216;Happy Birthday&#8217; (too complicated in terms of rights, apparently) the idea gradually focused down into an iPhone app which could seamlessly mix hundreds of options into the song.</p>
<p>Nearly a year after the process begun and an awful lot of learning, (Paul last programmed a computer when the keys were made of rubber and you saved your work to cassette), AcoustiCards was launched in November 2012.</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
* English, German, Northern Sami, Spanish</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 5.6 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
AcoustiCards 1.9 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.</p>

Some individual members have over 20,000 unique followers. When an artist submits a new drawing, it immediately is posted to all of their followers walls, as well as the &#8220;Recent Feed&#8221;, where everyone can see it. Almost immediately after art is submitted, hundreds and possibly thousands of people see it, and can instantly start interacting with the drawing.

With prizes including Copic Markers, Marvy Uchida Markers and PaigeeDraw online store coupons thousands of members enter. With our new hashtag feature &#8211; members are encouraged to create their own contests or challenges for other members.</p>
<p>PaigeeWorld is a community for all ages. Only age appropriate drawings are allowed to be submitted. PaigeeWorld is a safe community for our Members. To keep PaigeeWorld a safe application for all members, PaigeeWorld employs a number of safety mechanisms including:</p>
<p>* Over 25 Moderators who review all art submitted, and moderate the drawings and comments.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kent, Washington &#8211; Educational App, Puffer Ball-N-Train Junior, provides a variety of new early learning games for the iOS Application platform. Each game helps make the learning of colors and numbers Fun! This Weekend Only &#8211; regular pricing for the entire set of these fun, early learning games has been reduced, allowing everyone a special opportunity to enjoy Puffer Ball-N-Train Junior.</p>
<p>The Color Ball Game, based on the iPhone Action game Puffer Ball-N-Train, encourages players to recognize and match primary colors. This game also improves fine motor skills as young players manually move train hand-cars into place and catch falling colored balls. Don&#8217;t worry if some balls are missed and splash into the river below&#8230; We&#8217;ll send more!</p>
<p>The Number Game uses the fun of game play to help players learn and match numbers. Selecting the correct matching number sends your train hand-car off to catch that numbered ball. As the Number Game progresses, visual color hints gradually disappear challenging young players to begin sending their train cars based solely on numbers alone.</p>
<p>The Ice Cream Cone Game provides a fun way for players to practice and improve new color and number skills. Each level provides a train hand-car carrying an empty ice cream cone, plus a visual &#8220;recipe&#8221; on the side of the screen. Each &#8220;recipe&#8221; shows a cone built with colored or numbered ice cream scoops. Cones are successfully built by selecting ice cream scoops in the same order provided by the &#8220;recipe.&#8221; As each cone is completed, a lively animated scene appears to help celebrate that accomplishment! Over time, ice cream cone recipes grow larger and more complex to help challenge and improve young players&#8217; skills.</p>
<p>&#8220;Gwenie Tested and Approved!&#8221;  </p>
<p>Two of our favorite game testers, Gwendlyn &#8211; aged 5 and Gwendolyn &#8211; aged 6, tested and helped us improve the early versions of these games. Both Gwenies agree that creating ice cream cones with the &#8220;Ice Cream Cone Game&#8221; is their favorite activity in Puffer Ball-N-Train Junior. </p>
<p>Puffer Ball-N-Train Junior was designed with young players in mind. All 3 games can be individually selected or switched during game play by simply touching large, colorful buttons at the top of the game screen. No reading skill or parental supervision is required to play and enjoy all 3 games!</p>
<p>Puffer Ball-N-Train Junior provides hours of early learning fun! This Educational App runs on iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads (in 2x iPhone mode) running iOS 4.3 or above. Version 1.1 provides additional help for parental game options and comes fully localized in English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Puffer Ball-N-Train Junior, at this special reduced price, is available now for download on the App Store. </p>
<p>Another family-friendly App brought to you by Shelly Data Doodles &#8211; &#8220;Building Apps that Make Life Fun!&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A major upgrade to Mariner's current iOS spreadsheet app, Calc XLS 4.0 is now a universal app optimized for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad devices, supports multiple languages, cloud support via Dropbox sync, provides over 200 pre-built functions, and the ability to view, edit, and save Microsoft Excel files. Calc XLS 4.0 is a full-featured spreadsheet product for iOS that can handle .xls formatted files for Excel 97 and up. At its core lies a highly advanced parser and calculation engine.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Minneapolis, Minnesota &#8211; Almost a quarter century ago, Mariner jumped into Mac software development with a spreadsheet product that gave Mac users an alternative to Microsoft office tools. In March of 2009, Mariner introduced Mariner Calc for iOS, becoming one of the first to offer a spreadsheet app to iPhone users and was quickly followed by a version for the iPad. Calc XLS 4.0 is a major upgrade to Calc, introducing the features of universal device support, support for 8 languages and cloud support via Dropbox sync, among many others.</p>
<p>Calc XLS 4.0 is a full-featured spreadsheet product for the iOS that can handle .xls formatted files for Excel 97 and up. At its core lies a highly advanced parser and calculation engine that sets Calc apart from other spreadsheet apps and allows the user to view, edit, and save the complicated Excel file format.</p>
<p>&#8220;This new version of Calc is one of the most advanced spreadsheet apps on the iOS,&#8221; said Corey Johnson, Director of Product Development for Mariner. &#8220;Excel power users will feel more at home than ever before because while the competition rests on &#8216;over 100 functions&#8217;, Calc boasts over 200 and we&#8217;re constantly adding more.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the newly added cloud support via Dropbox sync, users with a Dropbox account will have direct access to documents created and saved in Calc. Other file transferring options are available via Web Server, iTunes, and Email. This version supports multiple languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Over 200 pre-built functions that cover Mathematics, Trigonometry, Finance, Date and Time, Logic, Info, Statistics, and Text are provided.</p>
<p>&#8220;While our product line includes a lot of apps for the creative writer, Calc has always been a mainstay for us,&#8221; said Michael Wray, President of Mariner. &#8220;Our spreadsheet product was one of the first developed exclusively for the Mac as was the iOS version, which stands at nearly 800,000 downloads. Calc XLS is mature, streamlined, and powerful. Number-crunchers everywhere will appreciate that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other New Features of Calc XLS 4.0:<br />
* Create or move files and folders<br />
* Save and Save As options<br />
* Email as PDF or xls<br />
* Open in Dropbox or other apps that support the xls file<br />
* View PDF, .rtf, Word, Powerpoint, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers files<br />
* Support to set and preserve print settings<br />
* Full User Guide which includes over 400 function examples</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Washington based LPD Interactive, LLC today introduces Adoo 1.0, its new to-do list and task management app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Adoo was developed specifically to solve a major problem: check marks are old and no longer useful.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vancouver, Washington &#8211; LPD Interactive, LLC today launched its to-do list and task management app Adoo in an effort to solve a major problem &#8230; check marks are old and no longer useful. Complete with new productive to use advancements such as the swipe-to-done feature that allows users to swipe their task to the left to complete or swipe to the right to do later, Adoo is well on its way to bringing the task list into the mobile age.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Adoo was made to help people across the world not only keep up with their daily to-do&#8217;s, but easily organize, set priorities and take action to become more productive. To do so, Adoo has several useful features that helps people input their to-do&#8217;s and get out of the app as fast as possible to start doing them, including:</p>
<p>* Swipe-to-done: As mentioned above, enter your to-do&#8217;s and complete them by swiping them to the left, which reveals a green slider with a white checkmark. Awww, it&#8217;s easy being green. Sorry Kermit.<br />
Swipe to do later: If you have items that don&#8217;t necessarily need to be done now, the swipe them to the right to do next or swipe even further to do later.</p>
<p>* Set reminders: If you have a hard date on which a to-do needs to be done, just add a notification to remind yourself later so it pops up on your mobile device. This is great for when you need to pick up the kids (don&#8217;t be that parent that forgets to pick up your kids &#8230;) or for reminding yourself to pick up a card for mom&#8217;s birthday.</p>
<p>* Prioritize: There are a few ways to prioritize &#8230; either set &#8220;now,&#8221; &#8220;next&#8221; or &#8220;later&#8221; when you create a to-do list from the pop-up menu after pushing done, swipe the task to the right if you&#8217;ve already created the to-do, or simple tap and hold the to-do to rearrange it from top to bottom, bottom to top or right in the middle. By default,</p>
<p>* Color coding: Categorize your to-do&#8217;s by color &#8230; green for finances, purple for home, red for office, etc.</p>
<p>* Take a picture: Ever been to the grocery store and forget what brand of soap your spouse told you to get? Don&#8217;t want to call to sound insensitive for forgetting? Just snap a photo and pull it up at the store and you&#8217;ll be a hero.</p>
<p>* Reactivate Tasks: Accidentally swiped to complete a task? Tap the menu button in the upper left and then tap on completed items to move it back. You can also completely delete all of your completed items from this list.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later<br />
* 0.6 MB</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leeds, United Kingdom &#8211; Treehouse Technologies today is thrilled to announce the release of ipash 1.3, an update to its popular bash utility developed exclusively for the iPad. If you already use ipash, you know how this is a simple but powerful implementation of the Unix shell &#8216;bash&#8217;. If you simply can&#8217;t do without command lines, you&#8217;ll love this app.</p>
<p>ipash comes with the most common commands you are used to (ps, ifconfig, cd, cp, ping and many others) adapted to the iPad environment. It also takes advantage of the iPad advanced capabilities like gestures, scrolling and so on. For example: you can access the command history swiping up and down with two fingers, you can swipe left-to-right to auto-complete the entered text or you can pinch the screen to interrupt the execution of a command.</p>
<p>ipash 1.3 comes with a new icon and an improved design that gives you even more a taste of good old times. Already from version 1.2 ipash allows to move, copy, delete files from your linked Dropbox account. With the new update you can now move and copy entire folders from and to Dropbox. Version 1.3 also introduces a new tool: a stripped version of &#8216;vi&#8217;, the text editor we all know. These features make ipash not only a fun app to use, but also a powerful instrument for your work.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 3.4 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
ipash 1.3 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. The app is available worldwide in several languages on the App Store. Please visit Treehouse Technologies online for more information about ipash, including screenshots of the app.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stockholm, Sweden &#8211; Photo Quiz 2 is a sequel to the popular app Photo Quiz, which reached the top 100 most downloaded in the US, top 20 in the UK and Canada, top 10 in Australia, and top 3 in Scandinavia. This time, it&#8217;s offering plenty of different challenges &#8211; some that keep players guessing and others that get them laughing. Players will be presented with four pictures that have one thing in common. Simply by tapping the letters in the word bank, players can spell out each guess.</p>
<p>This sequel comes with hundreds of new challenges, which get progressively harder the more someone plays. Gameplay can last for hours.</p>
<p>This time, the rules have changed a little. The game offers three different &#8220;hint&#8221; opportunities. Tapping on the magnifying glass icon reveals letters in the answer. Tapping on the bomb icon removes some of the word bank letters that aren&#8217;t being used. Finally, the key icon reveals the word completely, for the extreme cases where players get stumped. Every time an answer is correct, players earn more hint opportunities. These helpful tools can also be purchased in the game.</p>
<p>Support Languages:<br />
* English, French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later<br />
* 31.0 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Plympton, Massachusetts &#8211; icebergapps today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of 1 to 100 (v1.0), its fun new counting game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Designed for small fingers and young minds, 1 to 100 encourages children of all ages to learn and practice how to count to 100.</p>
<p>All numbers can be touched, but they can only be cleared in order. When a correct number is touched, the number is read aloud and removed from the screen. If your child hits the wrong number, it shakes but does not read the number out loud. To help those that don&#8217;t read yet, the next number in line will slowly pulse after a moment. Once you reach 100, the game starts counting at 1 again!</p>
<p>All touch areas are large, bright and inviting. No reading is required to play or enjoy this app (My 2 year old loves it!). Watch as your kids learn how to count and read numbers. Just pick it up and start counting!</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* Universal Application<br />
* 8.7 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
1 to 100 (v1.0) is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. It is also available for Android via the Amazon App Store (including the Kindle Tables), and on the Windows 8 store. It is coming soon to Nook tablets. This app contains no advertisements, in-app purchases or outside links of any kind. When playing this game, children stay in the game.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[WhosCall, the premier app for call filtering and number management on Android is now available on iOS systems. WhosCall is primarily used for identifying unknown calls and stopping unwelcome calls such as scammers, advertisements, and telemarketers, boasting 3 million downloads worldwide. It's also identifying and blocking over 10 million unwelcome calls per month. It is currently sitting as the #1 Paid App Overall in the Taiwan App Store.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taipei, Taiwan &#8211; On June 7th, the popular app WhosCall will be released on the iOS platform in the United States, Japan, and Hong Kong. WhosCall is primarily used for identifying unknown calls and stopping unwelcome calls such as phone scammers, advertisements, and telemarketers. WhosCall boasts over 3 million downloads in countries such as Taiwan, United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, etc, while also identifying and blocking over 10 million unwelcome calls per month.</p>
<p>Originally slated for release on 6/8, overwhelming support from Taiwan fans prompted the developers to give them an early exclusive. Upon release, WhosCall for iPhone shot through the charts to become the #1 App in the Paid Overall Charts, all in a mere 3 hours. WhosCall for iPhone is targeted for release next in the United States, Japan, and Hong Kong.</p>
<p>Due to differences between the iOS and Android systems, WhosCall for iPhone is slightly different from its Android counterpart. WhosCall for iPhone has three primary features:</p>
<p>* Reverse Number Search: Users can input numbers and search for information from a global database of over 6 million entries.<br />
* Call Guard List: Users can create a personal list of numbers that will have warning prompts pop up when they call.<br />
* Call Guard Database: A list of numbers that have been identified through community feedback and complex algorithms to be potentially malicious. These numbers will have warning prompts attached to them when they call, serving as a frontline of protection for users.</p>
<p>Jeff Kuo, founder and CEO of Gogolook Co., Ltd., the creators behind WhosCall, had this to say: &#8220;WhosCall for iPhone marks an important milestone of our vision in creating a contact network of trust. We wish to take communication back to its roots, and let people concentrate on calls that they deem to be important, instead of playing guessing games with strangers.&#8221; </p>
<p>WhosCall is a critically-acclaimed app that has won numerous awards such as the 2012 Asia Mobile Application Competition Golden Awards, the 2013 Google Taiwan Best Innovation Award, and has been publicly praised by former Executive Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt. It currently has a 4.5 rating on the Google Play Store.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />
* 13.0 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
For a limited time, WhosCall 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available through the App Store in the Utilities category. WhosCall for iPhone will be available in Taiwan, United States, Japan, and Hong Kong, and has a retail price of $4.99 (USD). An early-bird price of $0.99 is available for the first 3 days of release. Potential countries for release include South Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc. It is also available for Android devices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chengdu, China &#8211; WeDate today is pleased to announce WeDate 3.1 free for iOS, an update to its highly successful social networking app that helps guys and girls easily find someone nearby for dating. Users post photos on their Wall and include Basic Information, Living Habits, and Interests. Following free registration, members can search photos by Location and/or Category. WeDate features Chat, Notifications, Photo Share, The Truth Game, and Create a Date, which lets users propose one of nine dating activities, time, and place. Also included is built-in email, Facebook, Twitter, and SMS connectivity, and a Blacklist to prevent receiving any communication from a specified user. The update includes optimization of the display of photos and saving chats after exiting.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Free app, free registration, and no ads<br />
* Search through photos of users in your town, your area, or anywhere<br />
* Like or Chat with any member<br />
* Participate in The Truth Game to meet new people<br />
* Create a Date lets you propose your ideal date or party</p>
<p>At first launch in portrait orientation, users register free by choosing a Name and posting a Photo. The first window on the user&#8217;s Wall, the Name window also tracks number of Followers, number of people the user has Liked, and the number of Photos posted. In addition, there is room provided a brief (50 characters or less) subtitle.</p>
<p>Scrolling down, in The Basics window members can quickly complete the following details: Job, Age, Location, Height, Body Type, Looking For (Chat, Friends, or Date), and Character (Gentle, Optimistic, Frank, Introverted, or Modest). The Living Habits window includes: Smoking, Drinking, and Sex (I&#8217;m up for it; If you get me drunk; If we get along and there&#8217;s a spark; If we&#8217;re in a relationship; or If we get married). Last, users can reveal My Interests, including: Movies, Music, Games, Books, TV, Food, and Sports.</p>
<p>The default view on launch is the Meet People page, where users can browse photos individually or in groups of thumbnails. Browsing is made more efficient through Search Criteria, where users select details about whom they are seeking, such as: Gender (Male, Female, or No Limit), Region (Nearby, In the Same City, or No Limit), and Advanced (No Requirements, Close in Age, or Currently Online). Touching any thumbnail brings up that user&#8217;s Wall and all the photos and information he or she has posted. From the bottom tab bar, social networkers can Like and/or Chat with the person they have found.</p>
<p>The Create a Date window lets users create a date they would like to go on by proposing one of nine types of dates (Party, Dinner, Bar, Live Event, Coffee, Movie, Travel, Sports, or Other). Users can then enter a brief text description of their ideal date, propose a place to go, and make their proposal valid for 1 &#8211; 7 days. Members can also browse through dates created nearby to attend parties and join groups. Thumbnails of all guests who plan to come appear on a Details page describing the get-together, along with links to Join or Chat with the Organizer.</p>
<p>The Truth Game is an online icebreaker, where users answer a personal question that is selected randomly. Others can view all the various responses to that question and discuss it via Chat. The app also includes Information History, a record of recent Chats and Notifications.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unlike other apps, you don&#8217;t need to pay to become a popular figure on WeDate,&#8221; commented Changming Li of WeDate. &#8220;Just ask questions frequently in The Truth Game, and there will be many people who will answer your questions, and who will follow you. Compared with the old method of &#8220;shake to chat,&#8221; it is more sensible for you to choose those with whom you want to chat. You can pose witty and humorous questions and wait to find the person with the best answer.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Berlin, Germany &#8211; KnowledgeMiner Software today is pleased to announce that its critically acclaimed application, KnowledgeMiner free for OS X, has been renamed Insights. Insights 1.6 takes its new name from the app&#8217;s ability to bring conventional data mining to a new level of sophistication and applicability. Users in nearly any field can employ the easy-to-use software to analyze noisy data sets and build powerful models, which can be used to help to gain new insights into complex phenomena, predict future behavior, simulate &#8220;what if&#8221; questions, and identify methods of controlling processes. Insights is currently used by NASA, Boeing, MIT, Columbia University, Merck, Mobil, Notre Dame, Pfizer, Apple, and many other corporations, universities, research institutes, and individuals worldwide.</p>
<p>&#8220;The new product name highlights the app&#8217;s core value and functionality very well,&#8221; commented Frank Lemke, founder and president of KnowledgeMiner Software. &#8220;It now better describes and reflects our vision of the power of a new generation of self-organizing and self-learning predictive modeling systems. This latest generation of systems will allow significant strides toward new knowledge about a variety of complex processes, enabling powerful, automatically generated forecasts and solutions from streaming data.&#8221;</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Brings high-performance, predictive modeling to users with unprecedented ease of model building and deployment, and it takes full advantage of the computing power of your Mac <br />
* Hides all complex processes of knowledge extraction, model development, dimension reduction, variables selection, noise filtering, and model validation from the user <br />
* Self-organizes forecasting and classification models and model ensembles, and it generates the equation that describes the data <br />
* Checks if, and the extent to which, the developed model reflects a valid relationship or if it just models noise, which makes a model useless for predictive purposes <br />
* Live Prediction Validation technology &#8211; for the first time, gives direct information about model stability for the given input values</p>
<p>Complex systems demand that we abandon the classical, hard approach of creating analytical models using theoretical systems analysis, since we often have incomplete knowledge of the processes involved, which forces us to make vague guesses about the internal workings at various stages of the analysis. Environmental, social, and socio-economic systems are but three examples. This approach is time consuming, inflexible, and leads to results that are questionable, ambiguous, and qualitative in nature. These challenges, as well as the nascent Internet of Things, require a paradigm shift in model building toward inductive modeling and forecasting technologies based on self-organization.</p>
<p>Insights is a professional, yet convenient tool for building predictive models from data autonomously. Taking observational data that describes a problem, system, or process, the software constructs a working mathematical model. Compatible with data stored in a variety of popular formats (e.g., Microsoft Excel), its AI-powered, self-organizing modeling algorithms allow users to easily extract new and useful knowledge to support decision-making. All models can be exported to Excel for further deployment.</p>
<p>Whether applied to sales prediction, financial and resource planning, engineering problems, climate change, health/life science related questions, or mining collections of data from government agencies, Insights opens up a wealth of new possibilities. Now, individuals, small business owners, and scientists can create models that were previously available only to large entities that could afford expensive data mining applications.</p>
<p>&#8220;I invite everyone interested in Insights to download our free Demo version,&#8221; stated Frank Lemke. &#8220;Discover the true computing power of your Mac with Insight&#8217;s implementation of 64-bit parallel computing, with support for vector processing, and multi-core and multi-processor machines.&#8221;</p>
<p>Language Support:<br />
* English, German, and Spanish</p>
<p>System Requirements:<br />
* OS X 10.8.3 or later<br />
* Any Mac with 64-bit CPU<br />
* Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 768 pixel<br />
* For Excel support, Excel versions 2011 or 2008<br />
* 44.6 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Insights 1.6 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Business category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Dimas, California &#8211; MCE Technologies, LLC (MCE) today announces that it is now shipping its USB Super-BluDrive. The USB Super-BluDrive is a lightweight, portable, slot-loading drive that connects via USB and can play and record CDs and DVDs as well as play commercial Blu-ray movies directly on the Mac with the included software. The USB Super-BluDrive is compatible with all Mac systems including current and previously shipped iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Mac mini, MacBook Air and Mac Pro systems. The USB Super-BluDrive retails for $79.00 and is available immediately.</p>
<p>&#8220;The USB Super-BluDrive gives Mac users a solid alternative to the Apple USB SuperDrive by providing the same functionality but with the added bonus of giving users the ability to watch Blu-ray movies directly on the Mac&#8230; and, unlike Apple&#8217;s drive it&#8217;s compatible with all Macs,&#8221; stated Arnold Ramirez, president of MCE. &#8220;It is truly stunning to watch Blu-ray movies on the ultra high resolution displays of the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and iMac widescreen display.&#8221;</p>
<p>The MCE USB Super-BluDrive includes Mac Blu-ray Player software for the playback of commercial Blu-ray movies natively on the Mac. Commercial Blu-ray movie playback requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.4GHz, or faster, and at least 2GB of RAM. The drive is compatible with Apple&#8217;s DVD Player application for the playback of DVD movies as well as with Finder Burning for burning DVDs and CDs from the desktop. The drive can be used for installing system software and applications, is bootable, and is fully compatible with all DVD and CD recordable media on the market today and can record to standard DVDR media at up to 8X (11MB/sec) speed, to DVDR+/-DL (Double/Dual Layer) media at up to 4X (5.5MB/sec) speed, to DVD+/-RW at up to 6X speed, to DVD-RAM at up to 5X speed, and to CD-R and CD-RW media at up to 24X speed. The USB Super-BluDrive is compatible with all Macs with USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports.</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
The MCE USB Super-BluDrive is $79.00 USD and includes Mac Blu-ray Player software, user guide, and a blank DVD-R disc. More information may be found online at the MCE Technologies website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trinity Beach, Australia &#8211; Air Lounge X Pty Ltd introduces Air Lounge X 1.0 for iOS. Air Lounge X&#8217;s founder and developer, Inga Birkedale, was inspired to create a new iPhone/iPad app after sitting for hours in the departure area of a foreign airport wishing that there was an airport lounge nearby. Little did she know there was a pay-per-use lounge less than 100 steps away. On discovery of the lounge (at boarding time) her partner suggested that she write an app listing all the lounges in the world so that they&#8217;d know where they could find them in the future. So she did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Francisco, California &#8211; KissAppGames, a casual game company focused on developing and publishing apps for women and girls, released their first app, Glass Ceiling 1.0. The app features the heroine, Moxie, fighting her way up the corporate ladder as she tries to break through the glass ceiling. It&#8217;s no easy feat as she battles fresh men, backstabbing co-workers, asinine accountants, bad bosses and other office stereotypes in her quest to reach the top.</p>
<p>Glass Ceiling is a side-scroller action adventure game. It&#8217;s an interactive cartoon with beat&#8217;em up mechanics. Each level represents a floor in an office building. Moxie, a smart-minded career gal, starts out in the basement and works her way up the corporate ladder encountering multiple foes on her way to the top. Each floor is filled with floating objects for points, life-force battles and tricky obstacles. On mobile devices, the game features a touchscreen control system. You simply tap and hold in a direction to walk, tap enemies to attack and defend and tap to grab items. Easy to play, fun to explore, Moxie will ultimately discover what lies on the other side of the Glass Ceiling.</p>
<p>Glass Ceiling will appeal to anyone who has worked in an office environment, although it will resonate more loudly for women. This is the first mobile game to tackle this topic. The app takes a satirical approach and sheds light on a serious topic in a fun way.</p>
<p>According to Wendy Carmical, the game&#8217;s creative co-founder, &#8220;Glass Ceiling is the perfect female revenge fantasy!&#8221; A veteran of the game industry, Carmical, is passionate about creating games that appeal to women. She formed the company with her friend, Maura Sparks. They are both industry veterans whose experience parallels the development of the computer game industry. &#8220;Creating apps gives us the opportunity to build a brand and company. Women today have to create their own opportunities,&#8221; said Sparks.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch<br />
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later<br />
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices<br />
* 88.6 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Glass Ceiling 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Atlantic Beach, Florida &#8211; Tropical Software today announced TopXNotes, its premier organizer for Mac notes, has been awarded 4 out of 5 mice by Macworld magazine in their first full review of the program. </p>
<p>Macworld reviewer, Marco Tabini stated, &#8220;TopXNotes&#8217;s interface has a strong Mac vibe to it; unlike so many apps these days that have embraced a minimalistic look in an attempt to help the user focus on a single task, it embraces a classic OS X window structure, with plenty of functionality at your fingertips&#8230;. a lot of thought has gone into organizing the structure of the main window so that it would be easy to use without requiring digging through dozens of menus to find the one feature you&#8217;re looking for.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We could not be more pleased with the careful consideration Mr. Tabini has given our product,&#8221; said Tropical Software president James Lee. &#8220;In Macworld&#8217;s first full review of TopXNotes, Mr. Tabini was careful to explore the myriad of features in our hybrid note organizer and password-protector. We are thrilled he has recognized the value of our unique and easy-to-use approach.&#8221;</p>
<p>Macworld&#8217;s thorough review covers TopXNotes unique Multiview, a feature that displays multiple notes, our dual-level security, with secure WiFi Sync, and QuickNotes, a feature that provides instant access to the most frequently used notes.</p>
<p>Mr. Tabini goes on to say, &#8220;TopXNotes works hard to keep your notes readily available wherever you go. It includes a QuickNotes panel that remains visible at all times while the app is running and can be used to rapidly access specific notes when you need them.&#8221;</p>
<p>TopXNotes had been previously awarded 4 out of 5 mice by Macworld magazine in their &#8220;Summer of Mac Gems&#8221; series of reviews. Then TopXNotes was favored by the reviewer for its &#8220;clean, single window interface that puts controls for highlighting and marking up your text right at your fingertips,&#8221; as well as its exclusive QuickNotes feature.</p>
<p>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 also makes TopXNotes touch for iOS that can be synced with TopXNotes for Mac.</p>
<p>System Requirements:<br />
* Requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later<br />
* 14.4 MB</p>
