JixiPix releases Rainy Daze - iOS App with the Power and Emotion of Rain - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leading app developer JixiPix Software today introduces Rainy Daze 1.0, its newest app for iPhone and iPad. Rainy Daze puts the power, emotion and uses of rain at your fingertips. With it, you have the power to envelop your photos in a soft mist's romantic glow, wash your landscapes clean of imperfection, and bring drops of meaning, large and small, fast or smooth, to your personal expression. Each unique style applies an advanced tonal technique to give your photos the feel of a rainy day.

Las Vegas, Nevada - Leading app developer JixiPix Software today is pleased to announce the release of Rainy Daze 1.0, its newest app to land on the iOS platform for iPhone and iPad. Is it possible for a photo to make your body ache? Or pull on your heartstrings? Give you hope? Well ... is there rain in your photo?

Because, along with the moisture, rain drops emotion - strong, instinctive emotions. It's not something anyone needs to be taught - we just feel it. And since there are as many emotions of rain as there are types of rain, the artistic uses for your photography are virtually endless. Some things you might like to shoot for: bright and clean, regenerative, renewing, glistening; powerful, ominous, thunderbolt and lightening, cascading in waves - horizontal. Or, sweet-smelling soft dreaminess, romance and peace - a delicate kiss alight in the air.

The JixiPix Rainy Daze photo app puts the power, emotion and uses of rain at your fingertips. With it, you have the power to envelop your photos in a soft mist's romantic glow, wash your landscapes clean of imperfection, and bring drops of meaning, large and small, fast or smooth, to your personal expression.

The Rainy Daze photo app comes loaded with three powerful styles: Rain Shower, Romantic Rain and Vintage Rain. Each unique style applies an advanced tonal technique to give your photos the feel of a rainy day. Rain Shower slightly darkens the scene for an appearance of an overcast day, Romantic Rain brings a soft romantic glow, and Vintage Rain gives a toned, aged appearance. Each style allows you to adjust the rain from a light drizzle to a heavy shower, change the angle of the rain, and change the length of the rain from short drops to long streaks.

You can (do a rain) dance if you want to, but it's not necessary. Just head to the App Store and - Make it rain.

Rainy Daze delivers:
* Dynamic rain, length and angle
* The ability to darken the sky with clouds
* Loads of presets, to get you started fast
* The ability to create personal-favorite custom presets using the "Save" menu
* The addictive JixiPix Randomizer - so much fun!
* Easy-to-use slider controls to adjust light, contrast and texture just how you want it
* Superfast preview mode to immediately see edit results, with large image rendered at save
* You can save to the photo roll and/or email or post to Facebook. Share your masterpieces!
* Works with Hi-Res images for top-quality results
* Superior customer support and updates - we're committed to your long-term satisfaction

Device Requirements:

4.: New Wake N Shake version 2.0 will Kill Your Dreams - Mercilessly

New Wake N Shake version 2.0 will Kill Your Dreams - Mercilessly - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developers Pedro Alejandro Wunderlich and Andres Canella today announce Wake N Shake 2.0 for iOS, an update to their infamous alarm app that must be shaken vigorously to shut off its alarm. The update introduces a new "No Mercy!" system that prevents users from escaping the alarm in any way conceivable. Version 2.0 introduces a social component that will allow its users to motivate each other into waking up, in real-time. The app has also gone global, now supporting 5 languages.

Wake N Shake - The Merciless Alarm Clock iPhone app, the infamous alarm app that must be shaken vigorously to shut off its alarm, just got upgraded to version 2.0.

The update introduces a new "No Mercy!" system that prevents users from escaping the alarm in any way conceivable. It's also introducing a first in alarm clock apps: a social component that will allow its users to motivate each other into waking up, in real-time. The app has also gone global, now supporting 5 languages.

The new "No Mercy!" system makes Wake N Shake almost too merciless. Almost. If the user's iPhone is on silent, and the app is running in the background, it'll still go off. If the user attempts to close the app by hitting the home button, the alarm will continue to blast, uninterrupted. And no luck with lowering the volume. The sound levels lock and the user is unable to quiet the app down--until it's been shaken sufficiently, that is.

But the most innovative feature is the introduction of the social component. The developers built a customized twitter stream that allows Wake N Shake users to motivate each other to get out of bed. It works in real time, so users can see as others are waking up at the same time they are. The idea is to feed off the wake up energy of other users.

A fun little addition in Version 2.0 is a "shake complete" sound. Once users finish shaking, a heavenly chime greets the user into being awake. With Version 2.0, Wake N Shake is now, without a doubt, the most merciless and effective alarm clock app in the App Store.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 18.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wake N Shake 2.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

6.: Solving Poor Pre-College Student Writing With Mobile Technology

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Solving Poor Pre-College Student Writing With Mobile Technology - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Colleges and universities have seen explosive growth in remedial writing classes. High school graduates are not meeting basic writing standards for essay construction and argument development. High School Writing 3.0, by Niles Technology, is one way to ensure students arrive at college prepared to write well. Whether a pro-active parent or a teacher with high standards, High School Writing, for the iPad and iPhone, is a cost-effective solution to learning the writing skills colleges expect.

Charlottesville, Virginia - Colleges and universities have seen explosive growth in remedial writing classes. High school graduates are not meeting basic writing standards for essay construction and argument development. High School Writing 3.0, by Niles Technology, is one way to ensure students arrive at college prepared to write well. Whether a pro-active parent or a teacher with high standards, High School Writing, for the iPad and iPhone, is a cost-effective solution to learning the writing skills colleges expect.

"I usually start most presentations about Niles Technology apps with two basic facts: 1) the lowest scoring part of virtually all achievement tests is the writing section, and, 2) businesses are losing upwards of $4 billion dollars per year because of poor employee writing skills," explains Michael A. Niles, president of Niles Technology Group. "The end results are that students arrive, at college, not prepared to write critically-structured essays; they ultimately perform lower than they should; and, their future earning potential is negatively affected. Consumers lose by having to pay higher prices to cover these avoidable losses. Overall, because of weak writing skills, employees and business are less efficient. Everyone loses when production is lower for the same dollar spent. High School Writing 3.0 is one way to raise student writing standards; thereby, helping everyone."

Writing, in general, is usually mistaken to be only sentences and grammar. While sentences and grammar are important parts of writing, they are really the second and third parts - they qualify meaning. However, the fundamental purpose of writing, which is thoughtful, clear communication, comes from critical thinking and argument development that are done before one sentence is written. Too often, students attempt to write before they really know and understand what they think; Niles Technology apps teach students to think and to develop ideas / arguments first and to write second.

Schools and teachers have discovered the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month the volume purchase of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile apps in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents have also caught on because Essay Workstation is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. For the lower grades, Middle School Writing has become a solid No. 2 bestseller, with both parents and schools purchasing the app. The Niles app catalog can be seen in the App Store by simply entering "Niles" in the iTunes search.

The incorporation of mobile learning into today's classroom is moving into high gear, and Niles Technology Group is dedicated to providing top-of-the-line educational apps that fit into students' mobile lifestyles. Contact Michael Niles at Niles Technology Group for more information about essay writing apps.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4.0 Tested)
* 2.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
High School Writing 3.0 is currently $17.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

10.: TiltShift Video 3.10 Released - Tilt-Shift Videos, Now In 1080p

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:08 am (PDT)

TiltShift Video 3.10 Released - Tilt-Shift Videos, Now In 1080p - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Fidel Lainez today releases TiltShift Video 3.10, a major update to his innovative app for iOS. Sporting an intuitive user interface, TiltShift Video allows to apply the popular Tilt-Shift effect to videos or photos using an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, achieving the "miniature look" with ease. It provides constant feedback during editing process. Version 3.10 includes compatibility with the new iPhone 4S, making possible to produce Tilt-Shift videos with 1080p resolution.

Zaragoza, Spain - Available for $1.99 on the App Store, the TiltShift Video app allows the users to process their videos with the tilt-shift effect, giving a miniature look to them. Until now, tilt-shift videos required very expensive DSLR lens or a professional video editing software to edit the videos and simulate the effect. In both cases, a good deal of patience was necessary. TiltShift Video removes all those requirements by providing the necessary tools to simulate the effect with an easy and intuitive user interface.

With just a few steps, the app allows to adjust several settings, including playback speed, image saturation, contrast, brightness, vignetting, start and end titles, fades, soundtrack... The blur adjustment controls deserve a special mention: in addition to provide the possibility of configuring the blur strength and the smoothness of the transition between blurred and non-blurred areas, the app provides multi-touch controls that offer a lot of freedom when defining the blurred sections.

During the whole editing process, the app provides a constant feedback of how the video will look like with the current settings, making much easier to get the desired results. The export process only requires the user to choose the desired video resolution. Processed videos are directly saved to the device's Camera Roll.

The App includes some additional features like the possibility of applying the tilt-shift effect to images or taking snapshots of selected frames from the videos being processed.

The 3.10 update includes compatibility with the new iPhone 4S, making possible to produce Tilt-Shift videos with a 1080p resolution.

Feature Highlights:
* Process any video present on the device's Camera Roll or Photo Library
* Accepts videos of any resolution and aspect ratio. The only limitations are that videos can't be bigger than 1280x720 (1920x1080 on the iPhone 4S) or smaller than 192x144
* Process still images from the Camera Roll or Photo Library or extract still frames from the videos. (The image resolution output is limited to 2048x2048)

Several adjustments available for achieving the "miniature" effect in the videos, including:
* Playback speed, for simulating time-lapse movies
* Blur position, strength and smoothness
* Image saturation, contrast, brightness and vignetting
* Soundtrack
* Titles and Fades

Device Requirements:
* iPhone (3GS, 4 or 4S), iPod touch (3rd or 4th Generation) or iPad (1 or 2)
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* Universal Application
* 4.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TiltShift Video 3.10 is only $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photography category.

12.: Top Camera 2.1 update adds Live Adjustments - 66% off

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:15 am (PDT)

Top Camera 2.1 update adds Live Adjustments - 66% off - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lucky Clan today announces Top Camera 2.1 for iOS, an update to their fully featured and high performance Photography app. Version 2.1 introduces Live Adjustments feature, which allows users to adjust exposure, contrast, saturation and color temperature before taking a photo - with live preview. It is the first app on the App Store with such option. The new version also makes performance and stability improvements, adds ios5 support, iPhone 4s compatibility, Picasa integration and much more.

Lodz, Poland - Lucky Clan today is pleased to announce Top Camera 2.1 for iOS, an update to their versatile Photography app that adds more than 25 features to the standard iOS Camera app. Version 2.0 includes a lot of new features and bug fixes:

* added Live Adjustments: Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Temperature (it can be disabled in settings)
* enhanced for ios5 (on first launch app will update database for ios5)
* improved compatibility with iPhone 4s
* added "share on Picasa" feature
* thumbnail icon can be set to open Viewer instead of Gallery
* HDR images are marked - in gallery and viewer
* camera interface can be fixed to "portrait" orientation
* after closing editor, app returns to last screen (gallery or viewer)
* faster saving of taken photos (it is 3-4 times faster now)
* saving in Editor works over 2 times faster
* app now works also on devices without camera (old iPop Touch, iPad 1)
* improved quality, speed (2 times faster) and stability in HDR mode
* improved photo rotation in viewer
* fixed problem with "/" in folder names
* improved stability
* fixed bug in Slow Shutter on iPod touch 4g
* few other minor bugs fixed

Top Camera description:
An excellent HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature, Video recording in HD, an artistic Slow Shutter Mode with Light Trail effects, and the use of Folders for file management make it unique among camera apps. Additional features include: 4 Picture Quality settings, Burst Mode, 4 Camera Timer settings, Virtual Horizon, Exposure Box, Focus Box, Geotagging, picture alignment Grid, White Balance, Stabilizer, and Digital Zoom. Top Camera also supports operation in both portrait and landscape orientations, includes iTunes File Sharing, and saves images to its internal Gallery, the iOS Photo Library, or both.

Top Camera incorporates a highly sophisticated, user-selectable focus zone feature, as well as user-selectable exposure zone. This means that iPhone photographers can optimize focus for any part of the photo, and set the exposure by locating that zone that produces the best results. Users just drag the purple box on the screen to the area they would like to have in the sharpest focus. Then they grab the green box and move it around in the frame to find the optimal exposure setting for the scene.

Top Camera's advanced HDR capabilities extend this feature to a range of iOS devices (any device with a built-in camera), overcoming Apple's limited support for only iPhone 4. According to Apple, "Now you can take great photos that capture a wider range of light intensity using the new high dynamic range (HDR) setting. After selecting HDR, just point a device at your subject and shoot. iPhone/iPad automatically captures three photos of the scene - each with different exposure levels. Then it layers the shots together to create a single photo that combines the best elements of each shot and more accurately represents the wide range of light in the scene. Both the regular shot and the HDR photo appear in the Camera Roll."

The app also incorporates a new Slow Shutter Mode that brings the compact iPhone even closer to the capabilities of a DSLR camera. Set to Automatic, Slow Shutter Mode produces a blur around moving objects, while maintaining a perfect exposure. Set to Manual, it allows shooting in extremely low light without a flash. And using the Light Trail setting produces pictures where moving lights, such as cars at night, produce time-lapse, trails of light.

General:
The app was designed in cooperation with Artist / Photographer David Scott Leibowitz to incorporate the highest quality in every detail. An extraordinary amount of time was spent designing the interface, to make it as beautiful and intuitive as possible:

* Both portrait and landscape orientation are supported
* File sharing integration
* Save images to the internal gallery, the iOS Photo Library, or both

Camera:
In shooting mode, the app provides a host of visual aids to help users take the best photograph possible. Controls are quick and intuitive: one indicator for focus, and a second indicator for exposure. The photographer now has the fine adjustment camera controls missing from the iPhone's camera:

* Video recording
* Live adjustments: contrast, brightness, saturation, temperature
* Shot stabilizer
* Timer mode
* Burst mode - rapid burst (about 6 photos per second) for low and medium quality
* HDR (High Dynamic Range) - Auto and Manual mode available, it uses the align algorithm
* Slow Shutter - Auto, Manual, and Light Trail Modes
* Digital zoom slider
* AWB - Auto White Balance with optional lock
* Screen Button
* Picture alignment grid
* Virtual Horizon - provides a visual leveling bar to keep images perfectly straight
* Exposure box
* Focus Box
* New Slow Shutter mode, with Auto/Manual Light-trail options

Photo Gallery:
Clicking the picture icon in the lower left corner brings the user into the world of Folders, Viewing, Editing, and Sharing. Entering this function of the app, photographers can see the contents of selected folder. Selecting an image in the Main folder reveals a pop-up window with options to view, edit, change folder, export, delete, or email the image:

* Folders - organize photos into folders. Create new folders, delete, reorder, export, change names, and move photos from one folder to another
* Export - paste image to clipboard, export to photos or send by e-mail
* Share - send one or more images to Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, YouTube or Flicker
* Add new photos - import from the Photo Library, paste from the clipboard or duplicate a selected image
* Select mode - Switching to select mode allows the user to quickly select many images, and then delete them, change folder, send by e-mail, share on Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/Dropbox/Flickr, export to the Photo Library and copy to clipboard

Viewer:
Tapping the View button, or double tapping on a thumbnail will bring up the folder's images for fullscreen viewing and also give users info options to see the photo's metadata including a GPS map view. Clicking the action icon in the top right corner displays a pop-up with e-mail/edit/change folder/export buttons:

* Full resolution preview
* Slideshow display
* Display image info and metadata
* Display GPS location in Maps

Photo Editor:
Tap on the Edit button to open the app's powerful photo editor. Here, users can crop an image, fix common photo problems like bad lighting, low contrast, or fuzzy colors, and apply special effects, or add a frame. Users not pleased with the results can easily revert to the original image:

* Crop - free mode, keep ratio, square, 2x3, 3x4, 9x16, golden proportions
* Rotate - rotate 90 degrees left/right, flip horizontal/vertical

Halloween Havoc zooms through the sky in Welsh and English - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixel Knights Ltd. announces Halloween Havoc, for iOS devices. Take to the skies as Rhiannon the witch in this frantic arcade adventure for all ages. From the team that brought you the App Store hit ZombieGP comes another pickup and play classic. With atmospheric music and graphics, really get into the mood for Halloween as you zoom over houses and towns on your broomstick. With Game Center support, challenge your friends to see who really is king or queen of the skies.

Pwllheli, United Kingdom - Pixel Knights Ltd. announce Halloween Havoc for iOS devices. Pixel Knights release their latest iOS game from their new studio based in Pwllheli, North Wales, UK. Following on from the success of their involvement in the iOS hit ZombieGP, this game gives everyone a chance to race through the skies as Rhiannon the witch. With Game Center support and worldwide leaderboards, this will keep you trying to beat your score for months to come.

Inspired by the classic side-scrolling "runner" style games popular on the app store, Halloween Havoc is easy to pick-up-and-play by all ages. Simply keep your finger on the screen and help Rhiannon avoid the obstacles, collect the pumpkin and fly her way home.

Available in both English and Welsh (language can be changed within the app), it shows our commitment to bringing Welsh gamers iOS offerings in our native language. There doesn't seem to be many opportunities for Welsh language gamers on the appstore and our aim is to bring Welsh speakers great gaming in our native language.

Carl Jones, director and lead developer at Pixel Knights said :

"I started writing games on a C64 at the young age of 10, mostly because I didn't have a tape player with it to load them :p And the magazines in those days were always full of great game listings to type in. Things progressed somewhat with the arrival of the Amiga, I used to spend days writing games on that platform using AMOS.

Unfortunately once I graduated from University and got a 'real' job, game programming became a distant memory. But recently I've been really captivated by iOS gaming and so decided it was time to re-kindle my passion for game development"

Halloween Havoc is the first of many games, already we are poised to release our first iPad game (again in Welsh & English), expect great things to emerge from this new studio.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Halloween Havoc is available for free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

19.: GroupLogic Unveils mobilEcho 3.0

GroupLogic Unveils mobilEcho 3.0 - Published on 10/25/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GroupLogic, the industry's leading provider of software products that unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, today announced the availability of version 3.0 of its Mobile File Management software (MFM), mobilEcho. The new version adds key upgrades that give enterprises increased opportunity to expand the power of mobile computing for increased efficiency and productivity, all while making IT management simpler, secure and more cost-effective.

Arlington, Virginia - GroupLogic, the industry's leading provider of software products that unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, today announced the availability of version 3.0 of its Mobile File Management software (MFM), mobilEcho. The new version adds key upgrades that give enterprises increased opportunity to expand the power of mobile computing for increased efficiency and productivity, all while making IT management simpler, secure and more cost-effective.

"Whether the enterprise is embracing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work trend, and allowing employee-owned devices onto corporate servers, or provisioning corporate-owned mobile tablets and smartphones to employees, enterprise IT managers realize that securing corporate file access is crucial to meeting compliance regulations and protecting critical data," said Chris Hazelton, Research Director for Mobility, The 451 Group. "In addition, enterprise IT managers lacking a centrally managed Mobile File Management system are facing inevitable security breaches that come with lost and compromised devices and non-native access to Active Directory and file permission enforcement."

The new version of mobilEcho adds enhanced management and end-user features, as well as additional device support for the extremely popular iPhone. Since its initial launch in May of 2011, mobilEcho has gained significant adoption across many industries and is rapidly becoming the go-to Mobile File Management solution for both large and small companies. One very satisfied customer is Bedford Industries, a manufacturer of identification ties and tags, ElastiTag(R) products, and twist ties for more than 45 years that utilizes both iPad and mobilEcho for its sales and marketing teams.

"mobilEcho allowed us to make the leap to tablet computing without the worry of corporate security breaches," said Royce Boehrs, Network/Security Administrator, Bedford Industries. "Now, our employees have in-field access to crucial corporate files, and our IT team can manage the entire deployment remotely and without worry of compromising security or compliance."

Features in mobilEcho 3.0 are a direct result of feedback from today's users and include:

* Support for iPhone, adding to mobilEcho's support for iPad.
* Complete PDF preview and annotation, providing users a completely secure method to review, comment, and annotate documents to meet corporate security, compliance and governance standards.
* Direct access to the employee's unique Active Directory assigned home directory.
* Support for automatic one-way sync from the server to the employee device, for easy access to the latest document changes when offline.
* Centrally managed simplified device enrollment.
* Enhanced management features that include per-device status tracking, remote wipe and password reset.

"When we initially launched mobilEcho in May, one of our primary objectives was to make it effortless for IT professionals to achieve the level of security and control they needed with the introduction of iPad in their companies," said Anders Lofgren, Vice President, Product Management at GroupLogic. "We pride ourselves on our ability to listen to our customers and turn that feedback into tangible products and upgrades, and I think they will be happy to see we've done that again with mobilEcho 3.0."

mobilEcho 3.0 is available today and can be purchased via the GroupLogic web store. Interested IT organizations can also take advantage of GroupLogic's free trial of mobilEcho by visiting the GroupLogic website. GroupLogic offers two pricing options for enterprises, including subscription and perpetual licensing.

25.: Word Wizard 2.0 for iOS-Talking Spelling App for Kids New and Notewo

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed Oct 26, 2011 3:00 am (PDT)

Word Wizard 2.0 for iOS-Talking Spelling App for Kids New and Noteworthy - Published on 10/26/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

L'Escapadou today announces Word Wizard 2.0.1 for iOS, an update to their New and Noteworthy Education app that lets kids hear the sounds of letters and words, and provides spelling practice with a customizable List of more than 1,300 questions and answers. Featuring advanced text to speech capabilities, the app can pronounce and spell-check more than 100,000 words. Word Wizard has won many accolades and was called the "Speak'N Spell for the iPad Generation" by the New York Times.

Sophia Antipolis, France - L'Escapadou today is pleased to announce Word Wizard 2.0.1 for iOS, an update to their New and Noteworthy Education app that lets kids hear the sounds of letters and words, and provides spelling practice with a customizable Word List of more than 1,300 questions and answers. Featuring advanced text to speech capabilities, the app can pronounce an unlimited number of original words and spell-check more than 100,000 words.

Word Wizard has won many accolades including:
* Editor's Choice Award for Excellence in Design from Children's Technology Review
* "...Powerful language-learning tool that is ideal for a child learning to read" - The New York Times
* "...A fantastic app for young children" - GeekDad Blog, Wired Magazine
* �...I love the talking alphabet...I will certainly recommend it to early educators.� Mary Ellin Logue, Ed.D, Early Childhood Education, University of Maine
* Featured by Apple as 'New and Noteworthy' for iPad and iPhone

There is no clear distinction between learning and playing. This is immediately apparent to the casual observer, who may witness young children enthusiastically engaged in the classroom. Clearly, not all classroom activities stimulate the natural curiosity of kids no matter how young they are. Word Wizard, however, nearly always attracts and holds the attention of children. It provides an expertly planned and exuberantly realized world in which children are encouraged to experiment with all the letters of the alphabet. There are two interrelated modes of operation: Movable Alphabet and Spelling Quiz.

In Movable Alphabet kids see all the letters in two rows at the bottom of the landscape oriented screen and hear the name or the sound of each letter aloud when they touch it. This multi-sensory approach, made famous through the writings of physician and educator Maria Montessori, engages the child completely. Each sense reinforces the other, and a wide range of cognitive styles is accommodated. Using the technology of the iPad/iPhone, Word Wizard enhances and amplifies the experience of seeing, touching, and hearing letters that young children have had in Montessori classrooms for more than 100 years. The app can be seen as taking the best of the Montessori method and making it still better.

The talking Movable Alphabet lets kids drag one letter at a time on to a grid (that automatically aligns the letters) or a blank page. As each letter is added to a word-in-progress, Word Wizard speaks the name of the letter aloud (or optionally, its phonetic sound) and then pronounces the proto-word, demonstrating how each additional letter alters the pronunciation of the whole. The child may never create a word in the English language, but he or she is completely free to get to know the building blocks of words on their own terms. When the last letter of a correctly spelled word is put in place, the entire word is surrounded by white light, all the letters grow to remove the spaces between them, and the word is clearly pronounced.

Touching any letter of the newly built word repeats the highlighting animation and pronunciation of the word. Add words to create a sentence, and touching any letter still repeats the animation and pronunciation of the word. But touch the Speak Aloud button in the top left, and the synthesized voice reads the sentence aloud, altering the inflection with which it reads some words so that they make sense in the sentence. This is natural language processing at its best (and the user's iOS device can now pronounce such random neologisms as "kjedrwy").

Talking Movable Alphabet Highlights:
* Spell checker highlights unrecognized words
* 2 American voices and 1 British voice
* Optional magnetic grid to ease letters placement
* Reads all the words as a sentence
* Uppercase or lowercase letters
* Phonics or letter names when a letter is touched in the alphabet
* 2 backgrounds
* Voice Transformer (speed, tone) for added fun

Familiar and at ease with letters, phonemes, syllables, words, and pronunciation, children can leave Movable Alphabet mode and visit Spelling Quiz, where they can put into practice all they have learned and play a semi-formal game with rules and scoring. Each spelling quiz consists of 10 words. Word Wizard prompts "Spell 'chair'," and the child drags each letter as they did before to spell the word. If necessary, they can touch the Hint button to receive hints one letter at a time. When all 10 words have been spelled, the app displays the number of correct answers and the number of hints used.

The Built-In Word List of more than 1,400 words is organized into 12 categories: Numbers, Colors, Animals, Body, Clothes, Family Members, Food, Sports, Nature, Shapes, 1,000 Most Frequently Used Words, and Dolch Words. Dolch Words are a list compiled in 1936 of 220 "service words" that are not easily sounded out but are essential to basic literacy (the list excludes nouns), e.g., "show," "six," "seven," "small," "start," etc.

Spelling Quiz Highlights:
* 189 Word Lists of 10 words: Dolch Words, 1000 Most Frequently Used Words, Body Parts, Family Members, etc.
* Create custom Word Lists by entering custom words and sentences, and even share lists
* Hints are available if kids do not know how to spell a word
* A variety of colorful animations are displayed when a word is completed
* Once a quiz is completed, a report is displayed and fun, interactive animations are available as a reward

Children, parents, and teachers can quickly and easily create custom Word Lists. Type in a list of words separated by commas, or even sentences. Though the word may not be in the app's Word List it will properly pronounce it and go on to score the quiz. This expansion capability makes Word Wizard a flexible tool for learning special vocabularies and terms, practicing words challenging to particular students, and challenging super-spellers with spelling bee favorites.

New Features & Options in Version 2.0 (as requested by users):
* QWERTY or alphabetic layout
* New voice added (3 voices available now), and a new version of the speech engine
* Keyboard emulation (dragging letters is now optional)
* 4 letter sizes available (allowing more letters on the board)
* Option to turn off the vocalization until the speech bubble button or a word is tapped
* New caps lock key to make typing capital letters easier
* 16 new Word Lists for beginners (CVC words)
* Recognition of words that break at the end of a line
* Erase All Letters button is now accessible on the board
* Add a friend's Words List
* Add custom words to the profanity list (Settings option to prohibit some words)

"The overwhelmingly positive response we have received to version 1 of Word Wizard has been very encouraging and gratifying," offered Pierre Abel. "We are very thankful to all those users and reviewers who made such useful suggestions, many of which have been included here in version 2."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 221 MB

His wife, a translator currently busy home-educating their daughters, helps in the design of their educational apps. Watching their kids - 5 and 8 years old - learn and play is their main source of inspiration for the apps they make. The studio was founded in 2010 after the launch of the iPad, with the belief that the iPad can be a great tool for learning and creativity. Copyright (C) 2010-2011 L'Escapadou. All Rights Reserved.
