PUB2ID Plugin to Convert Publisher Files to InDesign - Published on 10/14/11
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
California based Markzware today announces PUB2ID 5.5, an important update to its popular CS5 plugin for both Macintosh and Windows. PUB2ID allows graphic designers to seamlessly convert Microsoft Publisher files within Adobe InDesign CS5.5. It provides a quick, easy and affordable method for you to migrate Microsoft Publisher content to Adobe InDesign as new InDesign documents. Version 5.5 offers the added ability to import Microsoft Publisher files from version 2002 up through 2010.
Santa Ana, California - Markzware, the leading developer of file conversion technology for Microsoft Publisher, Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress, today is pleased to announce the PUB2ID v5.5 upgrade of its popular CS5 plugin to convert Microsoft Publisher to Adobe InDesign. PUB2ID v5.5, for both Macintosh and Windows, allows graphic designers to convert Publisher files within Adobe InDesign CS5.5. This updated version of the InDesign CS5 plugin has the added ability to import Microsoft Publisher files from version 2002 up through 2010.
Donovan McNeil, Senior News, said, "PUB2ID is essential for any graphics department that deals with small businesses. Since Microsoft introduced Publisher and allowed anyone to think they are a designer, we have been dealing with customer produced ads that we continually need to reproduce to run. PUB2ID makes this redesign immediate and it is a huge time saver."
PUB2ID (Microsoft Publisher to Adobe InDesign) is an updated CS5 plugin for Adobe InDesign CS5.5. It provides a quick, easy and affordable method for you to migrate Microsoft Publisher content to Adobe InDesign as new InDesign documents. The file conversion is enabled with a single click, using the InDesign File->Open menu. No more re-creating documents from scratch; PUB2ID gives you a big head start to convert Publisher files to InDesign.
"The PUB2ID product has saved our business countless hours (and dollars) not having to rebuild files. Being a Mac-based business, we couldn't even view a Publisher document before. Now, we have an InDesign file that is nearly a seamless recreation of the original file," Sahrah Hennigner, project coordinator, PDA Marketing expressed.
James MacLearie, MacLearie Printing said, "PUB2ID is a great tool for print shops to open Publisher Files and amend them within Adobe InDesign. The program paid for itself in the first job, and we now open Publisher files on a Mac!"
Peter Stremic, PETERPICA Productions, concurs, "PUB2ID has obviated the need to run Windows on my Mac; it's also saved me from shelling out for MS Publisher too! Great app that's paid for itself ten times over (and still counting)."
Pricing and Availability:
The PUB2ID v5.5 plugin software upgrade for InDesign CS5.5 to enable Publisher to InDesign conversion is available immediately at the PUB2ID Store. Find out if you qualify for a free PUB2ID upgrade to convert Publisher to InDesign.

Meester, an educator who recently purchased Custom Boards, "I even made a game board to use with a theme unit for fall. And I can save them to use again and again! I can print them off for home practice too." The reviews on iTunes also show the level of excitement that Custom Boards is generating: "A Must Have App! Intense! Universal! Multi-Functional!

What Should I Draw HD - Now Integrates With Web-Based Artwork Gallery - Published on 10/14/11
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sydney based IT company, MTS Technology Pty Ltd announces the integration of What Should I Draw HD with their new web-based artwork gallery. What Should I Draw HD is a Pad play and draw app for kids. The app consists of four splodges of paint when touched that reveal a different part of the drawing suggestion. The website works as additional feature to What Should I Draw HD where users are able to upload their artwork and see how it looks on printable items.
Lower North Shore - Sydney, Australia - Following the release of their What Should I Draw HD app in the Apple App Store last August, MTS Technology Pty Ltd announces the availability of their web-based artwork gallery built specifically for the app.

"Is your child constantly asking of what he or she should draw? If so, welcome to my world. My 10 years old son often asked the question when he wanted to draw something. Frustrated with our unimaginative suggestions, he developed his own system. To make it easier for him, we simply turned his idea into an iPad app with thousands of possible combinations." Martin Simunic, the creator of What Should I Draw app explained.
"Since then, our son is never short of something to draw and no more What Should I Draw questions. In fact, he becomes very excited playing the word combinations over and over. As a completion to the app features, MTS Technology also launched a web-based artwork gallery where What Should I Draw app users are able to upload the artwork created on their device, save on the gallery and see how it looks on t-shirt, mug or any other printable item.

Exciting Features Added to Map Draw for iPad - Life is a Journey, Map It - Published on 10/14/11
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fishington Studios today announced an update to Map Draw-Route Tracking and Annotation. Map Draw version 1.2 introduces several new fun and user friendly features to the app, as well as a free version, which makes its debut this week. Map Draw is a versatile map annotation application that can be used for a variety of purposes. These can range from fitness training to social, entertainment or even business purposes such as coordinating a hike, planning a road trip, giving directions, and more.
Logan, Utah - Fishington Studios announced today that it has released the latest version of Map Draw-Route Tracking and Annotation. Several new fun and user friendly features have been added to the app, as well as the free version, which makes its debut this week. Map Draw is a versatile map annotation application that can be used for a variety of purposes. These can range from fitness training such as tracking a run or biking route or for social or business purposes such as coordinating a hike, planning a road trip, finding or giving directions to a business meeting and much, much more.
Since its release in September, Map Draw has seen a steady stream of downloads and increased number of sales. "Continuing support and customer service are among our highest priorities, so after receiving several great suggestions from our users, we updated the application to reflect those", remarked Fishington Studios Founder and CEO Chris Flammer. These new updates make the application even more user friendly and fun to use and it continues to offer features that no other route plotting application available on the iPad market today can compete with.
An especially useful and exciting addition to the application includes waypoint annotation pins. These handy markers can be added anywhere on a route or map and there is no limit to the number users can add. There are 300 unique icons and 10 possible pin colors available, which provide a number of creative combinations for marking areas of interest on a map or along a route. The "waypoint" icon, pin color, title, and subtitle are all completely customizable and touch technology allows users to simply use their finger to drag and drop a pin to a desired location.
The regular version of Map Draw is free to download and allows users to create and save 7 maps. For those wanting more, an elite version is also available for purchase, and includes unlimited entries. Flammer states: "We've released a free version of the application because we wanted to provide users a way to preview the application and see for themselves what it has to offer before making a decision to purchase. It is not our goal to replace Google Maps. Our application is instead designed to address a unique set of features that we feel is missing in most mapping applications out there today, and we are confident that these features will prove an invaluable resource for just about anyone."
About Map Draw:
Map Draw allows users to create their own routes and maps directly on the iPad. With the touch of a finger, users can track and save distances, routes and plans. Maps support the creation of custom waypoint annotation pins, and all maps can be drawn on freehand when exported, making it the ideal tool for anyone looking for a mobile and versatile navigation tracking system. All entries are stored in a professional and elegant journal-style interface on the device and no uploading to or downloading from a website is needed.
Features:
* Route creation using a touch system. Routes can be drawn independently of roads, allowing hikes and off-road trails to be captured
* User waypoint pins. Pin icon, color, title, and subtitle are customizable
* Maps can be exported via email, or saved directly to the device in the photo library. All exported maps can be freely drawn on, allowing a user to add additional notes, or paint directly on the map like a canvas

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Primarily designed to educate and entertain our youngest fellows, The Big Book of Words is packed with more than 60 beautifully illustrated pictures divided into six categories describing everyday objects such as animals, food, vehicles and colors.

Malmo, Sweden - Graphiclife today is pleased to introduce The Big Book of Words for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The application is primarily designed to educate and entertain our youngest fellows. It is packed with more than 60 beautifully illustrated pictures divided into six categories describing everyday objects such as animals, food, vehicles and colors. With every picture there is a voice and a text that tells the user what is displayed in the picture. This way our little ones can learn their native language in a fun and interactive way.
The user interface is designed with the young user in mind. It has big buttons for effortless navigation and is very easy to learn.
Both the user interface and content are translated into eight languages including American English, Swedish, French, Spanish, German, Danish, Norwegian and Polish. This allows the user to practice words when picking up a foreign language, or when the words in the native language all become too easy. The Big Book of Words is hence suitable for users in all ages.
The six categories represented in the application are: Animals, Baby Animals, At the Zoo, Vehicles, Colors and Fruits & Vegetables.
Also included in The Big Book of Words are two mini games - "Memory" and "Find it". "Memory" is a classic-style memory game where one turns cards over, looking for images to match in order to make pairs. In "Find It" the player taps one of four images which correspond to a word which is also narrated, testing the player's knowledge of what they have learned. These games will appeal to toddlers and preschoolers, making this app an activity that babies as well as older children can share together, an excellent choice for a family app.
All illustrations in The Big Book of Words are made by the Swedish artist Jenny Ekdahl.
Device Requirements:
* iPad, iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later

robick 1.3.0 for iOS - Audio Player with Variable Pitch, Tempo, and Key - Published on 10/14/11
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Independent developer Mitsuhiro Sugimori today announces robick 1.3.0 for iOS, an update to his critically acclaimed Music player app that offers real-time, continuously variable control of pitch, tempo, and key. Featuring a single, uncluttered screen with a wheel controller, users can set in and out points to repeat complex passages, while slowing the music down by 50% without altering its pitch or key. Ideal for the musician, dancer, or fitness trainer, robick is for listening to music deeply.
Kanagawa, Japan - Independent developer Mitsuhiro Sugimori today is pleased to announce robick 1.3.0 for iOS, an update to his critically acclaimed Music player app that offers real-time, continuously variable control of pitch, tempo, and key. Featuring a single, uncluttered screen with a black wheel controller, listeners can easily set in and out points, repeating playback of complex passages, while slowing the music down by 50% without altering its pitch or key. Ideal for the musician, dancer, or fitness trainer, robick is an audio player for listening to music deeply.
There are other iOS music apps that offer many of the same capabilities as robick, but very few that offer such a brilliantly conceived interface. Resembling a large black wheel or old vinyl record, listeners can easily use the color overlay to dial in the exact pitch or tempo they are trying to match. Touch a button and the same wheel displays a circular audio waveform of the entire track, and a different color overlay sweeps out the playback like the second hand of a clock. Invaluable for the musician who wants to analyze five seconds of music using auto-repeat, he or she can easily zoom in on the wheel and waveform and drag to set the precise in and out points on the number-free timeline.
In fact, every function of the app has its own distinctive color overlay, allowing intuitive adjustment of multiple controls. Tempo is continuously variable between 50% and 150%. Pitch is continuously variable plus or minus 100% (100% is equal to a semi-tone). Key is also variable plus or minus 12 semitones, but increments in 24 discrete steps. There are numerical readouts for each of the three functions on the bottom left of the screen. Double-tapping resets each to zero. Real-time clocks on the top right display track length in minutes and seconds, playing time of a selected clip, and duration of a selected repeat.
Feature Highlights:
* Simple, ergonomic wheel interface
* Play fast music slowly
* Confirm a chord in various keys
* Study a lick and a sound
* Repeat the selected point of the music many times and play in all keys
* Ideal for music dictation, transcription, and arrangement
* robick imports tracks from the iPod library
* Repeat part of track (A-B repeat)
* Display simple waveform of the track on a single screen
* Change key and pitch without affecting tempo (speed)
* Change tempo without affecting pitch
* 3-band equalizer
* Continuous or reverse playback
* Playlist function
* Import multiple tracks simultaneously
* Cannot play DRM protected files
robick works so well that the app soon disappears, and the listener is directly connected to the music itself - browsing, analyzing, altering, adjusting, and repeating it without thought or effort. The app also includes some special features that are rarely seen in such music player apps. There is a 3-band equalizer to boost treble /midrange/ bass, which is especially useful for music dictation or compensating for the sound of headphones or speakers. For Beatles fans, a reverse playback feature is included. Continuous playback is another feature useful for music dictation, and users can quickly switch to the preceding or following track as in the iPod app. Finally, users can create customized robick playlists.
"robick helps make music practice fun," stated independent developer Mitsuhiro Sugimori. "There is no other iOS music player that offers this kind of performance and so many features at such a reasonable cost."
Language Support:
* U.S. English and Japanese
Device Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 7.3 MB
Pricing and Availability:
robick 1.3.0 is only $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category. Review copies are available upon request.

Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - To celebrate Halloween, and the fall season, Lightwood Games has issued a spooky challenge to all Jigsaw Party players; to submit their Halloween or fall/autumn themed photos to be turned into jigsaws for a chance to win a $25 (or equivalent currency) iTunes gift card. Jigsaw Party is the first competitive jigsaw puzzle app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and can be downloaded for free from the App Store so anyone can enter this competition.
Photo submissions can be anything related to Halloween or the fall season, whether it's a cackling jack-o-lantern or beautiful autumn leaves, as long as it's the player's own photo and won't scare the kids! Players can submit their photos through the app, via email to support@lightwoodgames.com or by posting them on the Lightwood Games Forum. Selected photos will then be added to the Halloween category within the picture library of Jigsaw Party. The deadline for submissions is 28th October but there's no need to wait with the Halloween category already filling up fast. The winner will be determined by the highest rated photo on 1st November and will be rewarded with a $25 (or 15) iTunes gift card.

The latest update to the game has enhanced playability, with different colour themes, shake to scatter pieces functionality, and the option to hide pieces that are not in use. Players can compete in a real time race with each other by simultaneously doing the same jigsaw puzzle or complete puzzles in the traditional solo mode.
In terms of the jigsaw puzzles themselves, players can choose various puzzles sizes using hundreds of photos in the ever-increasing puzzle library, or use their own photos. Those who prefer a surprise can have a picture selected at random. After completing the jigsaw, players get to rate the picture, and these ratings are used to determine the top rated puzzles, which are free to all Jigsaw Party users.

Descend is an old-school, first-person, grid-based RPG inspired by the classics of yesteryear. With over a dozen expansive dungeon levels, Descend takes place in a richly furnished world.

Sydney, Australia - Independent game developer Steve Jarman today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Descend RPG to the App Store. Descend is an old-school, first-person, grid-based RPG inspired by the classics of yesteryear.
If games like "Dungeon Master" and "Eye Of The Beholder" had you glued to your computer a couple of decades ago, then Descend might be the little piece of nostalgia that you've been looking for on the App Store. The game recreates the first-person, grid-based movement of those classic games, while placing the player in a modern, fully 3D environment.
Designed with the mobile platform in mind, Descend is easy to pick up for a few minutes at a time, or for a few hours, making it an RPG that travels easily. The game does all of its saving automatically, allowing players to continue from where they left off whenever they're ready for more.
With over a dozen expansive dungeon levels, lovingly hand-crafted by the developer, Descend takes place in a richly furnished world which looks stunning on the iPhone's tiny screen, and touch input breathes new life into the classic six-button movement controls. With an interesting and captivating plot, Descend will have players unravelling a mystery that threatens the very survival of their people.
