GiftShopper 1.0 for iOS - Stylish Gift Management App Featured by Apple - Published on 12/09/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Gamma Project today announces GiftShopper 1.0 being featured by Apple on iTunes New and Noteworthy section. Ideal for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations and other special events, GiftShopper happily tracks your purchases and ensures that you stay within your gift giving budget. GiftShopper will keep all your gift ideas and spendings clear, organized and instantly comprehensible. You will never forget a person or a gift again.

Budapest, Hungary - The Gamma Project today is pleased to announce GiftShopper 1.0 being featured by Apple on iTunes homepage, in the New and Noteworthy section. Giftshopper - available since Dec 5, 2011 - is their new, stylish app for collecting, organizing and sharing your gift ideas. The app tracks your purchases and ensures that you stay within your gift giving budget. It's ideal for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations and other special events.

GiftShopper will keep all your gift ideas and spendings clear, organized and instantly comprehensible. You will never forget a person or a gift again! GiftShopper shines in its simplicity of usage and design, while providing an outstanding user interface. With a clean user interface, the app includes no instructions for use; all operations are intuitive and trouble-free.

You can easily manage your gift lists in four simple steps. When first starting the application, you get a straightforward instruction to enter your gift budget. The app automatically retrieves your home currency from your device's settings, so you don't ever have to bother with it.

Once your budget is set, another hint will instruct you to add the persons you want to buy gifts to. The UI to enter the recipients is very lean and easy to use: you can type in a name, or select a person from the iPhone's Contacts, which is a handy addition. After adding the recipients, composing the gift list is also very simple: just add the gift's description, price and a photo - none of these are mandatory, though. For example you might want only to record the photo of the planned gift as an idea. When assigning photos to a gift you can take a photo or load an image from your Photos Library.

Once the gift list for a given person is ready, you can mark items as purchased by simply tapping on the circle icon. If all items are marked as purchased, the app will automatically mark the given person with a visible checkmark. This way you can instantly see whether you've bought all the planned gifts for everybody.

The main UI contains all the information you need to track your gift or souvenir spending. You can instantly see how many gifts you've purchased, and how much money you've spent by person and in total. The progress bar on the top shows how much you've spent from the planned budget, and it turns red if you've exceeded it. A nice feature is that you can share your gift lists via email. The email includes your gifting database as a nicely formatted html, in plain text and csv - the latter format can be edited in your preferred spreadsheet application.

Feature Highlights:
* Full iOS 5 compatibility
* Polished user interface, optimized for retina display
* Add persons directly from your iPhone's Contacts
* Manage your gift lists in an intuitive and easy way
* Assign photos to your gift items or ideas
* Simply tap gifts to mark them as "Purchased" / "Not yet purchased"
* Easily edit, reorder or delete persons or gifts
* Share your gift lists via email (html, csv and plain text)
* Many other things that will make your day brighter

"GiftShopper is your best companion when it comes to gift shopping and collecting gift ideas! With this app in your pocket, you can instantly check whether you are within the planned budget. You will never ever forget a person or a gift again." - stated Developer Karoly Nyisztor

Device Requirements:

Chromatic Bytes releases ZeusDraw Mobile 2.3 for iPhone and iPod touch - Published on 12/09/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chromatic Bytes, LLC, today announces ZeusDraw Mobile 2.3, an update to its versatile drawing and painting program for the iPhone and iPod touch. ZeusDraw Mobile is a professional-level drawing program. It works for anything from doodling on a photo to serious drawing. Now with a new low price, version 2.3 adds printing via Apple's AirPrint, a new graphics system for improved freehand drawing on iPhones and iPods with Retina displays, and an updated UI for Retina displays.

New York, New York - Chromatic Bytes, LLC today is thrilled to announced the release of version 2.3 of ZeusDraw Mobile, its versatile drawing and painting program for the iPhone/iPod touch. ZeusDraw Mobile 2.3 is a professional drawing program for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It works for anything from doodling on a photo to serious drawing.

New in Version 2.3:
* New low price - $4.99
* Printing - you can print your drawing to any AirPrint enabled printer
* New graphics system for improved freehand drawing performance on iPhones and iPods that have Retina displays
* UI has been updated for Retina displays

ZeusDraw Mobile features:
* Smoothed drawing - with many programs, if you move you finger quickly, your line turns into an unpleasant looking polygon. ZeusDraw Mobile's freehand tool can turn these into nice smooth curves or smoothly drawn filled areas for you. (You can control the degree of smoothing or turn it off if you like.)

* Editing - it's hard to get things exactly right the first time - especially on a small gadget! Use the iPhone's multi-touch capability to place, scale or rotate what you just drew.

* Text - any font, any orientation. Tap to show where you want text to go or drag a line to show the size and orientation of your text, and then use the keyboard to enter your text.

* Brushes - add texture or interesting effects to your drawing with ZeusDraw's brushes. Use them with transparent colors to get watercolor-like effects. It includes brushes that imitate the streaks from a brush's hairs.

* Color - customizable palette including transparent colors.

* Eraser - any of the drawing tools, including text, can be used as an eraser. Erasures can be edited with multi-touch just like drawn elements.

* Picture in Picture - you can, of course, use one of your photos as a background, but you can also import pictures to use as elements in your drawing and place, scale and rotate them like any other drawing element.

* Shapes - selection of predefined shapes.

* Complete undo/redo back to the beginning of the drawing. ZeusDraw Mobile remembers the undo's even if the drawing has been saved and reopened.

* Zoom - zoom in to at work at up to 3x.

* Email from within the program - you can email your drawing as png, jpeg or pdf, without leaving the program. When you email a drawing as pdf, the pdf retains the vector character of anything (lines, shapes, text) that was originally vector so you can make large prints without a loss of quality.

* Support for copy and paste.

* Drawing album - you can save your drawings to ZeusDraw Mobile's drawing album. In the album you can change the orientation of a drawing, select it to continue work on it, print it, email it, save it to to Saved Photos or delete it if you no longer need it.

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

Pricing and Availability:
ZeusDraw Mobile 2.3 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

San Francisco, California - The pygmies of Pocket God love free things: free coconuts on the half shell, free airfare to far off volcanoes, and free time to run away from the many dangerous monsters that roam their island. Pygmies are also huge comic fans, and throughout the weekend pygmies all over the globe have another freebie to put on the list - free comic books.

Ape Entertainment and Bolt Creative are proud to announce that first issue of the digital comic book series based on Pocket God will be available for free for a limited time on Monster Free Apps (www.MonsterFreeApps.com).

Created by Dave Castelnuovo and Allan Dye, founders of Bolt Creative, Pocket God has consistently maintained a spot in the "Top 25" games in the iTunes App Store for two and a half years running. With total sales of 7 million downloads since release, the success of Pocket God comes from a combination of endearing characters, unique art style and an incredibly fanatical community of followers.

"We are excited to launch our second game Trashers which continues our tradition of combining fun and engaging gameplay with lovable characters and an interesting storyline," said John Zuur Platten.

In Trashers, players join garbage men Gus and Nico, as well as their feathered friend Skiff, to collect all the trash and defeat Doctor O and her minions. The evil doctor wants to overrun every city and town with stinky, filthy garbage, challenging players to stop her before it is too late.

As they drive through the mall, city, airport, and more, players are guided by Skiff the seagull as they quickly collect trash cans and clean the streets. Encountering a trash monster like Sludger or Junkster starts a battle where the monster throws bags of garbage and players use trash-based weapons to defeat them. Completing all 9 levels in the Surburbia, Urbanon, and Filth Fortress worlds means the player can enter Doctor O's Lair for one final battle.

Trashers introduces lovable and funny characters and weaves a compelling story. Accompanied by Skiff, Gus and Nico are garbage men for City Haul who invite players to join them on an icky, gooey adventure cleaning the streets and fighting trash monsters.

The new game also emphasizes an eco-friendly theme. Along the way, players build up strength by removing trash from the dirty streets. They can also earn valuable bonuses by playing a mini-game quickly sorting trash from recycling.

Trashers is available for free with access to the 3 levels in the Surburbia world. Players can continue their journey by upgrading inside the app to play all 9 levels including Surburbia, Urbanon, and Filth Fortress.

Features of the Trashers game include:
* Good, clean fun - Players fight the filth by racing to collect as much trash as they can
* Explore different worlds - Drive the garbage truck through 3 dirty worlds and 9 levels
* Fight trash monsters - Defeat Doctor O and her evil minions who want to trash the town
* Earn trophies - Complete each level within the time goals to earn trophies and show off wins on Game Center

Device requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 65.8 MB

Pricing and availability:
Trashers is currently available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category for free.

11.: BlackwoodApps Releases Volleyball and Tennis Scoreboard Software for

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

BlackwoodApps Releases Volleyball and Tennis Scoreboard Software for Mac - Published on 12/09/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

This week, Mac Developer Austin Blackwood of BlackwoodApps released two additions to the VirtuaScore line of virtual sports scoreboards, Tennis and Volleyball. The apps give schools and sports organizations an affordable alternative to standalone hardware. Both are offered for an introductory low price. The scoreboards also feature various options for customization: the numbers on the displays can be colored from a palette of 25 colors and appear as either digital segments or analog bulbs.

Orlando, Florida - This week, BlackwoodApps released VirtuaScore Volleyball and VirtuaScore Tennis, exclusively on the Mac App Store, joining its previous release, VirtuaScore Basketball. The programs emulate the full functionality of a hardware scoreboard, giving schools, intramural sports teams, and athletic organizations and affordable way to score games, rather than being required to purchase expensive hardware scoreboards.

Both applications can be controlled in any of three methods: through a simple control panel window, keyboard shortcuts, and menu commands. The apps feature full undo and redo support to correct accidental changes to the score, without the operator fumbling around with manually resetting the score.

The scoreboards also feature various options for customization: the numbers on the displays can be colored from a palette of 25 colors and appear as either digital segments or analog bulbs. Users can also set custom home and away labels in VirtuaScore Volleyball and custom player names in VirtuaScore Tennis. Both scoreboards' default graphics can be replaced with team logos or advertisements.

VirtuaScore Volleyball features the following displays:
* Score for home and away
* Serving team indicators
* Wins for home and away
* Scores for up to four past sets
* Timer for timeouts

VirtuaScore Tennis features the following displays:
* Score for two players/doubles teams
* Serving player indicators
* Scores for up to five sets
* Match time

Similar solutions to the VirtuaScore line have been available commercially on the Windows platform for many years, but have largely been absent from the Mac. VirtuaScore Volleyball and VirtuaScore Tennis not only bring a new market category to Macintosh, but cost much less than their peers on the PC.

System Requirements
* Mac with access to the Mac App Store (OS X 10.6.6 )
* 17.7 MB / 4.8 MB available for VirtuaScore Volleyball / Tennis

Pricing and Availability:
Both VirtuaScore Volleyball and VirtuaScore Tennis are available exclusively on the Mac App Store, regularly priced $14.99, but available now at an introductory price of $4.99. Follow BlackwoodApps on Twitter (@BlackwoodApps) or Facebook for more information.

12.: 24U Software releases 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2

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

Fri Dec 9, 2011 6:31 am (PST)

24U Software releases 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 - Published on 12/09/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

24U Software, solution provider and leading vendor of plug-ins for FileMaker Pro, releases 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 - the ultimate benchmarking tool for FileMaker Pro solutions. 24U FM Bench Detective is an open solution designed to help FileMaker developers easily add precise benchmarking to their solution. With the help of this tool developers can measure performance of their scripts, calculations, and other parts of their solutions, and optimize them for better performance.

Zvole, Czech Republic - 24U Software announces an immediate availability of 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 for FileMaker Pro 11.

24U FM Bench Detective is an open solution designed to help FileMaker developers easily add precise benchmarking to their solution. With the help of this tool developers can measure performance of their scripts, calculations, and other parts of their solutions, and optimize them for better performance.

FM Bench Detective is a free part of the new product being developed by 24U to address the need for optimizing performance of not only FileMaker solutions but also companies using them.

24U FM Bench was first previewed by 24U at FileMaker Developer Conference 2011 and introduced a new way of thinking about optimizing FileMaker solutions. The aim of 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 is to make every FileMaker Developer able to precisely benchmark their solutions and get them ready to get the most value out of the on-coming release of 24U FM Bench.

What's new in version 1.0.2:
* Internal global variables renamed to prevent naming conflicts
* Timestamps are now logged in the host's time rather then client's time to ensure consistency
* 24U Toolbox Plug-In 1.1.2 now correctly returns local time instead of always returning GMT 2

24U FM Bench Detective lets FileMaker developers:
* Precisely measure execution time of their scripts and calculations
* Quickly add measuring code to any existing solution
* Store all measurements in a simple FileMaker database for further processing
* Differentiate collected data by username, IP address, or software/hardware configuration
* Use a single point to control benchmarking level or completely disable benchmarking

Use 24U FM Bench Detective to better understand your code:
There is no magical solution that will take your code and optimize it. It's still you, the developer, who's responsible for the quality and performance of your solutions. But it's difficult to intelligently decide how to implement whatever feature you are thinking of just now if you don't know what to expect from the technology you're using. 24U FM Bench Detective lets you easily measure your code execution time with microsecond precision, so that you exactly understand which operations take longer to process. Only that way you can base your decisions on true knowledge instead of guessing.

Since the first version of 24U FM Bench Detective has been released, many FileMake developers started to optimize their solutions.

Steve Sanders commented on the 24U FM Bench Detective's website: "I keep track of my Custom Functions in a database. When a Custom Function is revised, I compare some "Sample In" results to previous "Sample out" results to see if I have caused an error during the revision. I also want to compare the execute times to the previous revision. That lets me know if I have optimized or slowed down the Custom Function. I used to use "Extra Suites" on the Mac for this but it was very cumbersome as I had to find and remove my own overhead. I could only get an approximate overhead value. FM Bench will be ideal to re-implement this in a clean manner."

Edward McPike Jr. commented on FM Bench Detective: "It's funny - I actually did this for myself about six months back when I had performance issues... I never developed a good interface for me to analyze my own data - I just perused through the data to get a feel for where my bottlenecks were. So I was intrigued by your solution since I saw the Analyzer in the video. Plus, you grab more info than I do, which could be useful."

Rob Poelking commented on optimizing FileMaker solutions in general: "I'm in the same boat with a vertical market solution that I've been developing for a company for 5 years now. It is so inefficient!! I will be rebuilding from the ground up and I want to know what to avoid when rebuilding it."

Agnes Riley of ZeroBlue Technology Solutions commented on the blog HOnza's Bits @ 24U: "Optimization is a great thing, and I think greatly undervalued. A lot of times we, developers, do not have the time to go through a finished solution and optimize it unless there's a complaint that we react to. FMBench will hopefully help us be more proactive."

Serious developers have always cared about the performance of their solutions. But it took them too much effort to actually measure the performance of everything so they did that mostly only when issues appeared. 24U FM Bench Detective makes developers' dreams come true. Now you can base your decision on exact measurements and it does not take more than just a few clicks to add the measuring code to your solution.

Software Requirements and Compatibility:
* 24U FM Bench Detective requires Mac OS X 10.4 or newer and FileMaker Pro 10v3 or newer. Recommended is Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and FileMaker Pro 11v4 Advanced.
* Windows XP SP3 and FileMaker Pro 10v3 are minimum requirements for using the tool on the Windows platform. Windows 7 and FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced are recommended.
* 24U FM Bench Detective uses 24U Toolbox Plug-In to measure precise timestamps and to store collected data to the FM Bench Log. The plug-in is included in the 24U FM Bench Detective distribution.

Availability and Pricing:
24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 is immediately available for download from the 24U FM Bench website upon free registration.

Jaime and Maria met February 2009 in London UK while obtaining their Cambridge University Certificate in English Teaching to Adults (CELTA). They shared a passion for learning new languages. Jaime was en-route to Brazil to teach English and was learning Portuguese while Maria had plans to continue her Arabic language studies in Yemen and teach English as a means to integrate and give back to the local community. During the course they recognized the lack of 'quality' and 'relevant' teaching tools and resources available to teachers and found they truly enjoyed creating their own stuff not just for teaching purposes but for their own learning enjoyment ....thus JAM was born.

Pedala Games has released Delicious Christmas, a fun, easy-to-play and yummy match puzzle for Christmas time. With lovely graphics and sounds, 2 game modes and Game Center support, the game was developed to provide many hours of enjoyment for kids and adults. The gameplay is so simple and intuitive that appeals from kids to adults. The goal is to eat as many christmas cookies and gingerbreads as the player can.

Sao Paulo, Brazil - Pedala Games, a brazilian mobile game studio, has released Delicious Christmas for iPhone and iPod touch, a match puzzle (like Bejeweled) with Christmas theme. With 2 game modes (Classic and 3 Minutes) and Game Center support, the game was developed to provide many hours of enjoyment for kids and adults.

The gameplay is so simple and intuitive that appeals from kids to adults. The goal is to eat as many christmas cookies and gingerbreads as the player can. To do so, simply match 3 or more similar cookies. If you follow Santa Clau's choice, you can double your points. At the end of the match, the player can submit the score to Game Center.

In the Classic mode, for each cookie the player eats, a time bonus is given. Thus, playing with speed and attention, the game becomes an almost endless fun. In the 3 Minutes Mode, as the name implies, the player has only 3 minutes to eat the cookies.

With attention to detail, the game was made to bring the real spirit of Christmas to all the people who play it. For example, while the game screen is loaded, the player can read lovely Christmas verses. The music and graphics provide a typical atmosphere. With all these characteristics, Delicious Christmas has potential to be a top selling title in the holidays.

Steve Weintraut LLC releases QuoteMaker Pro sales tool for iPad - Published on 12/09/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Steve Weintraut LLC has released QuoteMaker Pro for iPad. QuoteMaker Pro is a powerful price quotation and proposal creation tool for anyone involved with the sale of products or services. QuoteMaker Pro's drag and drop interface makes it easy to customize the appearance of a proposal. It also offers the ability to work off of both cost-plus and list-minus pricing. Printing and emailing of sales quotations is also supported. Pricing data may be input directly on the iPad or imported from a file.

Sicklerville, New Jersey - Steve Weintraut LLC has released QuoteMaker Pro for iPad. QuoteMaker Pro is a powerful tool for anyone involved in a wide variety of sales related professions. QuoteMaker Pro gives the user precise control over the appearance of their sales quotation as well as finely tuned control over the profit margin for each individual item on the proposal.

Powerful Profit Margin Control:
QuoteMaker Pro supports both cost-plus and list-minus sell price computations. The user can specify profit margins on a global scope for an entire quote, for groups of items as a subset of a quote, or on a line item level for each individual product.

Drop and Drop Customization:
QuoteMaker Pro allows the user to precisely control the appearance of items in your quote. Using their iPad, they can drag and drop items to reorganize them in an order that will make the most sense to their client.

Custom Categories:
QuoteMaker Pro lets the user group related line items as categories in their quote. This allows them to not only organize long quotes into a more easily understandable format, but it also gives them the ability to adjust pricing of items in a group all at once. They can also temporarily hide the items of a category or categories to move them out of them way when they are developing a complex proposal.

Optional Items are Wonderful:
QuoteMaker Pro also lets users add items to a quote as an optional item. This will show the item on the proposal, but clearly display it as an optional item that is not included as part of the total price. This allows the user to quote a customer on a specific item, but also give them other choices if they would like to upgrade that particular component to something better.

Not an Island:
QuoteMaker Pro has the ability to import data from external sources via tab delimited or comma delimited files. Even if the file is not in the proper order, QuoteMaker Pro allows the user to drag and drop the import order of any compatible file, and also lets them choose which fields are imported. Files can be imported via iTunes running on the user's desktop machine, or by opening a file attached to an email from their iPad's email client. They can even choose to let QuoteMaker Pro use the file to update their existing price list based on matching product numbers. They can also email or print their quotes with just the tap of a button.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPad OS 4.3 or later
* 7.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
QuoteMaker Pro 1.0 is available for a limited time for the introductory price of $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. More information via our website.
