IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Already an established hit, this arcade adventure is better than ever, boasting a full twenty additional levels and enhanced graphics. Now is a better time than ever to join Hippie the Hippo as he charges through the arctic banishing Cow Ballerinas into the frigid ocean level after level.

Chicago, Illinois � Intersog, an established mobile application developer, has today announced the release of an improved and enhanced version of Hippie Hippo for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. A bigger and badder reincarnation of its original release, Hippie Hippo blends together vibrantly rendered cartoon imagery, fast paced action, and strategically minded gameplay into one entertaining package. This arcade adventure was already a hit and now it�s better than ever, boasting a full twenty additional levels, enhanced graphics, and the resolution of a few minor existing bugs. Don�t hesitate to join up with Hippie the Hippo as he charges through the arctic banishing Cow Ballerinas into the frigid ocean level after level. Hippie Hippo is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for $0.99 in the Games category.

This mobile adventure is a complete experience in terms of narrative as well as being an outright gaming rush. The story goes as follows: Once upon a time a happy Hippie Hippo had been sitting on a grass and playing guitar. The life was good and there was nothing to suggest any drastic change any time soon. Suddenly the mob of cows came along and began eating the grass bluntly - the weather became dismal and so the hippo�The cows have eaten all grass, every single piece! It became snowing, the lake got covered with ice and the cows began to skate�Sure enough - the hippo is in fury!

In a test of accuracy and problem solving skills players are tasked with getting Hippie around each Iceberg level, helping him push all the cows they see off into the water, without accidentally skating or being bumped into the water themselves. For ease of play, users are provided with descriptions of each level and quick �level repeat� options as well. Frustrated gamers can even unlock levels they can�t beat buy simply buying a level pass via in-app purchase and moving on with the game as if �ahem � nothing happened. Score stats are available for hardcore gamers too. With the App Store rife with throw away gaming gimmicks Hippie Hippo is a refreshing burst of originality mixed with dynamically entertaining gameplay.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 45.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Hippie Hippo (v1.0) is $0.99 (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Double Apps announces new Creativity app available for iPad

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

Thu Nov 10, 2011 5:15 am (PST)



Double Apps announces new Creativity app available for iPad - Published on 11/10/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tennessee based Double Apps Inc. today introduces Creativity 1.0 for iOS, their new guide based on the acclaimed book "The Business Playground: Where Creativity and Commerce Collide", by Dave Stewart and Mark Simmons. This multi-media experience app includes the full-color book, an audio narration, numerous interactive features and games designed to spark your Creativity, and integration with a new social connectivity tool called F*.

Knoxville, Tennessee - As with the book (now available in seven additional languages), Creativity 1.0 is an inspirational and entertaining guide to innovation and Creativity that includes a foreword by Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson; interviews with creative thinkers such as Mick Jagger and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen; and a host of stories, techniques and tools like "Idea Spaghetti" and the "Wheel of Distraction."

"The Creativity app is one of the app store's first interactive multimedia book apps. The app was a collaborative project between Double Apps and the original book's authors, Dave Stewart and Mark Simmons," say app developer David Levi.

The multimedia experience app includes not only the full-color book (complete with photographs and illustrations) and numerous interactive features, but also a complete audio version of the book, narrated by Voice Actor Lin Gallagher, and can be switched on at any place in the book. Notably, Creativity includes a revolutionary new tool called F* which allows users to highlight any word or phrase to access related media, news and products. It provides a depth of information and social connectivity never before seen on the published page. F* was developed by famos* in partnership with Dave Stewart and Mick Jagger. This is the first time it has ever been used in an app, providing a new level that hasn't been possible until now.

The Creativity app is being sold through the Apple App store for just $9.99. Most digital books being sold through services like Amazon or Apple's iBooks cost at least this amount, and most audio books cost significantly more. So to have the two rolled into one, together with all of the games and other interactive features included in the app, make the Creativity app an incredible value for money.

Here are some of the Creativity app's features:

* The app includes a live RSS feed of new ideas and information about Creativity that is curated by Dave and Mark.

* There are also 13 fully interactive original games that app users can play alone or with others, to help them to come up with ideas and enhance their Creativity.

* The games were created by Dave and Mark and include ones on: framing problems in the right way to get the best ideas; using visuals to simulate the creative process; choosing between different ideas; and putting yourself in the best frame of mind to be creative.

* Each one is fun to play, but teaches a valuable lesson about Creativity and innovation.

As Sir Richard Branson writes in the foreword: "Dave and Mark's enthusiasm for Creativity and how it can be applied in business leaps off every page. The Business Playground will bring out the creative child inside all of us and I can't imagine many readers being left uninspired to try it out for themselves. Their mix of insights about Creativity, revealing examples, anecdotes, interviews with creative thinkers, and games make for an entertaining and informative read. If you get half as much out of this book as I did, you're in for quite a treat."

Device Requirements:
* Available for iPad or iPad 2
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 106 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Creativity 1.0 is available for $9.99 worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books and Business categories.

Business today - top magazine in Newsstand business category - Published on 11/10/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The global reach of Apple's Newsstand has never been more obvious than when Business Today, published by the India Today Group, reached a consumer ranking higher than that of traditionally acclaimed business publications from the US. Content is king, and the readers respect and value good content and presentation more than brand names and geographies of origin. This is the new truth being exposed by convergence in the tablet and smart phone space as it relates to magazines.

New York - The global reach of Apple's Newsstand has never been more obvious than when Business Today, published by the India Today Group, reached a consumer ranking higher than that of traditionally acclaimed business publications from the US.

Content is king, and the readers respect and value good content and presentation more than brand names and geographies of origin. This is the new truth being exposed by convergence in the tablet and smart phone space as it relates to magazines. Magzter Inc., a New York based global digital newsstand has lowered barriers of entry for dozens of publishers to instantly be available across millions of Apple and Android based devices.

The Business Today app on Apple's Newsstand, powered by Magzter, allows readers to recreate their in-store experience from the comfort of their living rooms. They can browse, preview and purchase single issues or subscriptions all from within the app. Business Today has been able to do this within days and without any additional IT staffing by leveraging the Magzter platform.

This makes it easy for Mumbai and Manila to compete with Manhattan and Manchester. In addition to the ease of commerce on the apps, consumers can find esoteric and regional titles as easily as they would normally access more popular magazines - putting them squarely in the driver's seat driving magazine popularity and sales.

Business Today's achievement is commendable in that they have been early movers capturing mind space on the digital frontier. As competition increases, Business Today will have the opportunity to showcase their in-depth reporting, superlative editorials, exclusive insights and regional flavor to increase their readership - something that is right up the alley for the Business Today team.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later.
* Size 1.7 MB

Record videos with zoom in Top Camera 3.0!

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

Thu Nov 10, 2011 3:15 pm (PST)



Record videos with zoom in Top Camera 3.0! - Published on 11/10/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lucky Clan today announces Top Camera 3.0 for iOS, an update to their fully featured and high performance Photo/Video app. Version 3.0 adds amazing VIDEO ZOOM feature. Video with zoom keeps the highest quality, full resolution available on iPhone, does not drop any frame!
The new version also adds "sound" activated shutter, introduces sound effects and fixes few bugs. Top Camera incorporates a highly sophisticated, user-selectable focus zone feature, as well as user-selectable exposure zone.

Lodz, Poland - Lucky Clan today is pleased to announce Top Camera 3.0 for iOS, an update to their versatile Photography app that adds more than 25 features to the standard iOS Camera app. What's new in version 3.0:

* added VIDEO ZOOM - full resolution, no frames dropped, no quality decrease!
* added "SOUND" ACTIVATED SHUTTER
* zoom in video can be rendered immediately after recording, or later
* smooth zooming: after you press " "/"-" button in the zoom slider, slide your finger left/right to adjust the zoom speed
* added few sound effects
* medium video size for iPhone 4s changed from 480x360 to 1280x720
* added Korean translation
* focus/esposure boxes are now visible all the time when they are not in "auto" mode
* fixed problems with focus in video recording
* "volume" button shutter does not display popup with volume
* 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
* Video zoom - full resolution, no frames dropped, no quality decrease!
* 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

Parents Competing for Elementary School Seats Get a New Prep Tests App - Published on 11/11/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Qwizful 1.0 is a new app that offers free prep tests for young children, pre-K - 2nd grade, helping young bright children gain confidence toward formal admission tests. Qwizful introduces the questions in the form of playful quizzes, incorporating fun characters and clever humor together with a rich mix of exercises, audio narration and performance tracking. The app enables parents to better prepare for testing, and track the performance of their children as they make progress.

New York, New York - Qwizful, a new educational app that is focused on helping parents prepare young children for the formal Gifted and Talented (G&T) screening tests, is now available on the iTunes App Store for iPhone users. The free App is geared to help children Pre-K-2nd Grade gain confidence and experience with the multiple choice format that is customary in ability assessments across the nation.

The Qwizful App enables parents to better prepare their children toward taking the formal school admission tests, and track the performance of their children as they make progress.

"Playful learning is all about boosting both confidence and achievements of young children." Said Eylon Javetz, founder of Qwizful.

"There are more children competing nowadays for each seat in citywide Gifted and Talented schools than there are applications to secure a seat in one of the nation's best universities.", continued Mr. Javetz, "and therefore parents are seeking innovative yet enriching and entertaining ways to practices for ability tests."

With some 300 challenging yet entertaining questions, the free Qwizful app and its in-app purchasing options have been priced competitively, as compared to traditional prep tests and tutoring services in this market.

The Qwizful App covers a broad range of subject matters, such as: verbal and pictorial reasoning, analogies, sequencing, math, spelling, vocabulary and time-telling. The iPhone Multi-Touch screen technology, which has been judged by both researchers in academia and parents to be very intuitive and engaging for children, is leveraged to facilitate effective assimilation while delivering an enjoyable learning experience.

All questions accompanied by colorful characters and original audio tracks. The humorous characters were designed to appeal to both young boys and girls, covering familiar themes such as imaginary creatures, race vehicles, princesses and sports. At the same time, graphics has been kept simple to improve concentration.

While the Qwizful App is not meant to determine Gifted and Talented capabilities per se, the new iPhone App does aim to offer a confidence and capability building tool for children, parents and educators.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 17.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Qwizful 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Mackay, Australia - Recently launched, the Australian-based blog 'The iMum' is a fresh and exciting new website dedicated to reviews on apps and products created for Apple devices such as the iPod, iPhone, iPad and Mac computer. At just three months old, The iMum already boasts dozens of reviews on family friendly iOS and MacOS apps as well as a rapidly growing network of thousands following on Facebook and Twitter.

Founded in August 2011 by a tech-savvy mother of three and self-proclaimed Apple enthusiast from North Queensland, The iMum contains content geared towards all age groups. Site owner Amanda Powell says, "there's something for everyone at The iMum."

"There are many app review sites on the internet these days, but not a great deal are from the perspective of a mother" Amanda said. "I started The iMum to offer an avenue for parents to learn more about iOS and MacOS apps for their children, from another parent so they can make an informed decision about which ones to purchase without having to trawl through thousands of apps themselves."

The website includes reviews that are divided into 20 different categories, including education, games, books and music and a newly introduced section specifically for children with special needs. Product and iBook reviews are also available on the site. Helpful articles and interesting interviews are included, as well as free apps and regular product and promo code giveaways.

Although Amanda acknowledges she is not a professional reviewer, she provides honest reviews from her own perspective and accepts occasional input from others including her three children who love to help test the apps being reviewed. "I have a fantastic team of guest reviewers supporting me in writing the reviews," Amanda declares, "and I must credit them for helping to boost the popularity of the site."

The iMum engages its audience by posting timely content that features specific topics and subjects. For example, the week of Nov. 21-27 is dedicated to vehicle-themed app reviews and giveaways. The iMum also produces a monthly e-newsletter to subscribers that can be signed up for on the site.

Kenitra, Morocco - Pixelka today is pleased to introduce Gifts 1.2 for iOS, their new, free Utility app that employs artificial intelligence to help find gift ideas. The app allows the user to enter up to eight different criteria for gift selection. Criteria include: Recipient, Occasion, Price Range, Category, and Keyword(s). Gift ideas can be sorted by Popularity, Price, or Relevance. Relying on a database of thousands of gifts, some quite unusual, suggested items include price, photo, and link to a web retailer. The app is not affiliated with any company and no brands are favored.

Designed to overcome the limitations posed by other gift apps, Gifts does not exclude any gift giving occasion, type of gift, price range, or recipient. It is, in short, a universal gift recommendation application that allows the users to browse through a huge variety of potential gifts, based on the criteria of their search.

At launch in portrait mode, the app displays the "Gift Finder" screen, which lists five criteria in a large window: Recipient, Occasion, Price Range, Category, and Keyword(s). Touching the first button brings up the Recipients screen and the following choices: Any Recipient, Man, Woman, Teen, Child, Baby, and Pet. Occasions include: Any Occasion, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation, Engagement, Wedding, April Fools, Assistants' Day, Baby Shower, Bachelor Party, Bachelorette Party, Back to School, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Boss's Day, Bridal Shower, Christening/Baptism, Cinco de Mayo, Communion, Confirmation, Easter, Father's Day, Fourth of July, Get Well Soon, Grandparent's Day, Halloween, Hanukkah, Housewarming, Kwanzaa, Memorial Day, Mother's Day, New Baby, New Job, New Year's Eve/Day, Passover, Retirement, St. Patrick's Day, Sympathy, and Thoughts & Sentiments.

From the "Price Range" screen the gift hunter can choose: Any Price, $0 to $25, $25 to $50, $50 to $100, and over $100. Tapping Categories brings up: Any Category, Top Picks, Unique Gifts, Personalized Gifts, Accessories, Alcohol & Tobacco, Arts & Crafts, Automobile, Baby, Beauty & Spa, Books & Magazines, Business & Executive, Care Package, Charitable, Clothing, Collectibles & Memorabilia, Computers & Electronics, Eco Friendly, Experiential, Flowers & Plants, Food & Beverages, For Travel, For the Yard & Garden, For the Home, For the Office, Gag Gifts, Gift Baskets, Gift Cards & Memberships, Golf, Health & Nutrition, Home Aid, Jewelry & Watches, Kid's Accessories, Kid's Clothing, Last Minute, Maternity, Music/Movies & TV, Musical Instruments, Nostalgic/Retro, Party Favors, Patriotic, Pet Accessories, Pet Toys & Treats, Pet Wearables, Photo-Related, Political, Religious, Romantic, Room Decor, School & Dorm, Seasonal Gifts, Sporting Goods & Apparel, Sports Fan Gear, and Toys & Games.

Feature Highlights:
* Browse thousands of Gifts that are constantly updated
* Search by Recipient, Occasion, Price, Category, and Keywords
* Sort Gift Ideas by Popularity, Price, or Relevance
* Top Picks: carefully selected Gifts by Experts and Gurus
* Save your Gift Ideas in a Wish List
* Attribute you Gift Ideas to Recipients from your contact list
* Visit stores directly from your app to shop Gifts
* Share your Gift Ideas with the world using Facebook, Twitter, Email, and Delicious

From the "Enter Keywords" screen the users can input one or more keywords to use in their gift search. Above the large window containing the five criteria is a Tab Bar with three buttons: Popularity, Price, and Relevance. Any of these three can be selected to sort gift ideas. After entering as many or as few criteria as they wish, the user taps the red "Find Gifts" button. A long list appears almost immediately, and displays the found suggestions. Users can scroll vertically to see the name, photo, and price on the Matching Gift Ideas screen. Each page contains 50 items to scroll through, and the number of pages available is displayed along with navigation buttons to the left and right.

Touching any Gift Idea immediately reveals a full-page description of the item including a zoomable photo and the name of the store from which it is available. Three red buttons at the bottom of the screen read: Add to Wish List (the page is added to the app's Wish List along with an optional name or contact); Visit Store (the gift is displayed on the store's website, ready to be purchased); or Connect (users can share their gift idea with others via Twitter, Facebook, email, SMS, etc.)

In addition to the normal "Gift Finder" mode the app has a "Top Picks" mode and a "Personality" mode. The former displays gifts specially chosen by experts, while the latter recommends gifts using 1 of 23 different personality types.

"Are you still wondering what will be the ideal gift for that special someone?" asked Khalil Slimi of Pixelka. "Well, look no further� 'Gifts' is all that you need for free. This app lets you choose among thousands of the most unique, wished for, coolest, and hottest gifts out there. It's your perfect Gift shopping companion for any occasion."
