GiftShopper 1.0 for iOS - Great Aid for Christmas Present Shopping - Published on 12/18/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GiftShopper 1.0 from Gamma Project is a great aid for last-minute Christmas present shoppers. Giftshopper has been featured by Apple on the AppStore's main page in the USA and several other countries and consistently praised for its simplicity and effectiveness by users. GiftShopper 1.0 keeps all your gift ideas and spendings clear, organized and instantly comprehensible. The app happily tracks your purchases and ensures that you stay within your gift giving budget.

Budapest, Hungary - GiftShopper 1.0 from Gamma Project is a great aid for last-minute Christmas present shoppers, and it's ideal also for other special events like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations etc. Giftshopper has been featured by Apple in the USA and several other countries on the AppStore's main page and consistently praised for its simplicity and effectiveness by users. The app made it to the Top10 Paid Finance Apps in the USA, Australia and Canada.

GiftShopper will keep all your gift ideas and spendings clear, organized and instantly comprehensible. The app tracks your purchases and ensures that you stay within your gift giving budget, and guarantees that you will never forget a person or a gift again.

The app 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.

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.

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

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Silly Tale today releases Mahjong Dynasty 1.1.2, solitaire game for iPad. A game in which the player still had to remove all the matching pairs, turned into a competition with the achievements and points. If the pairs are removed quickly enough, the player is credited bonus points, congratulating the player with animated effect.

Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation - Silly Tale announces Mahjong Dynasty 1.1.2, solitaire game for iPad.

Therefore, for sorting out the same pyramid can produce different results. To compare your scores with other people can be right in the game. Being the best is not easy.

The objective of this game is to try to reproduce the maximum complexity of the real solitaire originally created by Brodie Lockard. Only in this way the real winners may get to the top of the best.

However, the game has a more gentle mode: a hint with timeout and shuffle to help players don't get stuck in the game. A elegant graphics and music with traditional Chinese motifs can help to dissolve in the game, calmly and confidently move forward to solve the next puzzle.

The game was conceived by Petr, the Silly Tale's programmer, under the impression from Brodie Lockard's mahjong. Five year old Petr's son was trying to disassemble everything in the house. The game calmed his activity, diverted from mischief. Parents were able to do their homework, leaving the kid alone with the puzzle. Other parents can benefit from this experience thanks to mahjong.

Features:
* Favorite layouts: Turtle etc. (normal, hard, very hard and extreme difficulty)
* Hard classic game
* Hint and Undo

Santa's Little Helper App Puts Christmas Lists on iPhone

Santa's Little Helper App Puts Christmas Lists on iPhone - Published on 12/18/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Santa's Little Helper this year is an iPhone app called MyList. The app lets shoppers keep a separate Christmas list for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and all the kids in one convenient place - their iPhone. MyList leaps ahead of its competitors because it offers users with 3G or later phones the ability to scan a product's bar code and seamlessly transfer the data to its powerful database, where the information can be sorted and compared using several factors such as price.

South Lake, Texas - Santa's Little Helper this year is an iPhone app called MyList.The app lets shoppers keep a separate Christmas list for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and all the kids in one convenient place, their iPhone. MyList leaps ahead of its competitors because it offers users with 3G or later phones the ability to scan a product's bar code and seamlessly transfer the data to its powerful database, where the information can be sorted and compared using several factors such as price.

"This app is exactly what I needed to keep my Christmas shopping lists organized!!" says Elder Wayne, a big fan of the app, adding, "I love the bar code scanning feature and the web portal is just awesome! I'd give this more stars if I could!"

"If Christmas shoppers really want to have a Merry Christmas they'll add MyList to their list and download the MyList App to their iPhones before heading out to the malls," says James A. McNeilly, CEO of iList Apps, Southlake, Texas.

MyList also allows you to take a photograph of the item being shopped for, which is especially helpful if it has different visible features offered by different manufacturers or vendors. Another major advantage of MyList is that it makes it effortless to synchronize your shopping experience with family and friends. After downloading the free app at the iTunes App Store and registering MyList at their website, users can then build, manage, and personalize all their lists containing items from any retail chain that syncs in real time. The app has racked up some good reviews including one from the Daily App Show.

All lists are automatically synced to a group account to be shared with user-selected iPhone/IPod/iPad2 owners and synchronized with a website so the lists can be shared with family and friends using laptops, personal computers, tablets or netbooks.

To use MyList you simply click on any of the list examples and start adding items. Merely scan the bar code of an item which will then populate most items' details automatically. You can also edit any detail seamlessly, or enter the store where the item can be found and add a photo.

When your list is complete, notify each member of your group who will now be able to see your entire list by category and each item on your list. The shopper then chooses an item in the shop feature and places a check on the item. When they have finished shopping they can tap the "Shopping Done" feature and the item will remain on your list but show no quantity, indicating it has been purchased.

"There are a lot of iPhone Apps out there that will compile a list if that's all you want," adds McNeilly, "but if you want to shop for your wife and never get it wrong, then get the app today because right now MyList is yours for free." The app is being promoted by Westwind Communications iPhone App Publicity.

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

Pricing and Availability:
iList - MyList 1.5 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. For information or an interview with James A. McNeilly contact Scott Lorenz of Westwind iPhone App Publicity at 734-667-2090.

New iPhone App Lets Users Uncover Fake Media Images

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

New iPhone App Lets Users Uncover Fake Media Images - Published on 12/19/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cincinnati based Everyday Apps LLC today introduces Shopped? 1.0, their new image forensics application for iOS devices. Shopped? uses advanced heatmap filtration technology to let users check virtually any photo for evidence of digital manipulation. If an image is heavily manipulated, the heatmap displays a variety of colors in correlation to the various edits. With a single touch, images can be imported into Shopped? from the web, email, iPhone photo library, or other applications.

Cincinnati, Ohio - With imaging programs like Adobe Photoshop becoming increasingly sophisticated, the digital manipulation of media images is becoming more commonplace. But a new iPhone application called Shopped? is giving people the ability to distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to the photos they encounter in everyday media.

"Today, there's more skepticism regarding the authenticity of images that appear online and in newspapers and magazines," says Michael Thomason, managing member of Everyday Apps, the software vendor behind Shopped?. "Whether it's a celebrity photo from the tabloids or a snapshot from a political news piece, a startling number of photos are doctored before they go to press. The American public values the truth in media reporting, and I've given them a tool to uncover that truth."

Shopped? uses advanced heatmap filtration technology to let users check virtually any photo for evidence of digital manipulation. The heatmap filter highlights different error levels in the image. If an image is heavily manipulated, the heatmap displays a variety of colors in correlation to the various edits. With a single touch, images can be imported into Shopped? from the web, email, iPhone photo library, or other applications. Users can share their 'evidence' by exporting filtered images to blogs, Twitter, and Facebook or by sending them via email.

Thomason says he got the idea for Shopped? in 2008 after reading about a company that specializes in image forensics, which is now being explored for use in law enforcement. "I had this idea I could build an app using the same technology, and I did," he says. "In fact, I did it all on a Saturday morning."

Everyday Apps has produced a variety of other iPhone applications, including Wordflick - a fast-paced arcade-style word game for iOS devices that has been repeatedly featured on Apple's App Store home page.

"Shopped? appeals to people's innate curiosity, and I think it will spark some controversy," says Thomason. "The media has long used smoke and mirrors to distort the truth to the public. But this application is changing the game by giving people the power to know when they're being duped."

Shopped? supports languages for US English, Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 4.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Shopped? 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Measuring, Storing, and Sharing Dimensions Has Never Been Easier

Measuring, Storing, and Sharing Dimensions Has Never Been Easier - Published on 12/19/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Houston based Hollingtech Software LLC today introduces Measured - Measure. Store. Share. 1.0, their one-stop measurement solution for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Measured" is the perfect tool for contractors, realtors, decorators, do-it-yourselfers, and anyone else ever needing to take measurements, store them, and share them. Whether you want to use your phone to measure objects in photos, or just jot dimensions on the photos, Measured will handle either job.

Houston, Texas - Hollingtech Software LLC announced today that their newest app, Measured, has become available on the Apple App Store. "Measured" is the perfect tool for contractors, realtors, decorators, do-it-yourselfers, and anyone else ever needing to take measurements, store them, and share them.

Measured is in a category of its own, in terms of its boost to user-productivity, and ease of use. With this app, if you are ever needing to store measurements you have taken, you simply take a picture and add the dimensions directly to the photo. If you do not have a tape measure available, "Measured" uses a simple "Snap, Step, Snap" method to compare two pictures and measure objects with a high-degree of accuracy.

"I have finally figured out how to bring it all together," said Alex Hollingsworth, the founder of Hollingtech Software. "Before today, some apps could store dimensions on pictures. Others allowed you to measure things in pictures, but you had to put a credit card or other frame of reference next to the object in the photo. With Measured, you can forget about all of that. It is quick, takes seconds to take the photos, and you can be on your way. Measure just about everything now, or when it is convenient to do so." Hollingsworth also added that he has some "extremely exciting" plans for future updates, but he would not comment on any specifics.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 4.2 MB

Blotty Pots 1.0.4 for iOS - Turn Based, Chain Reaction, Strategy Gam

Blotty Pots 1.0.4 for iOS - Turn Based, Chain Reaction, Strategy Game - Published on 12/19/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COBBLECROWD today introduces Blotty Pots 1.0.4 for iOS, their turn based, chain reaction, strategy Game that challenges players to fill a grid of 16-36 paint cans with their own color paint. A pot fills by 1/3 each time touched, and when it overflows, it sends 1/3 of a can of paint into the cans N, E, S, & W, making them all the same color. Played against the machine or handed to a single opponent, the game seems simple until a single move causes a chain reaction of overflows, winning the game.

EMBARGO UNTIL: Monday, Dec 19 2011, 5:00am CST (5:00)

Miesbach, Germany - COBBLECROWD today is pleased to introduce Blotty Pots 1.0.4 for iOS, their turn based, chain reaction, strategy Game that challenges players to fill a grid of 16, 25, or 36 paint cans with their own color paint. A pot or can fills by 1/3 each time it is touched, and players can touch only one empty, neutral, or matching colored pot per turn. When a pot is full it overflows when touched, sending 1/3 of a can of paint into the cans located N, E, S, & W, making them all the same color. Played against the machine or handed back and forth between two players, the game seems simple until a single move causes a chain reaction of overflows, suddenly turning an overwhelming lead into a hopelessly lost position.

Blotty Pots is a fun game because it is filled with surprises and because of the sound effects and animation of splashing paint. Blotty Pots is an outstanding game because it successfully realizes a simple premise, making it an "easy to learn but difficult to master" pastime. Blottly Pots is a captivating game because, akin to checkers or draughts, it contains subtle complexities and can be played casually, seriously, or at competition levels.

The game offers a choice of three different initial setups. Users can select a four by four grid of paint cans (16 total), a five by five array (25), or a six by six matrix (36). The game also offers three different levels of machine play, where the user plays against the machine: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Lastly, players have a choice regarding "Prefill," whether or not a random number of pots are filled with a random amount of neutral colored paint at the start of play (assuring a game is unlikely to ever be repeated). When two players play against each other, only the Easy, Medium, and Hard option is absent.

Paint cans are signified by empty circles. Touched the first time, a small circle of solid yellow is created inside the circle. Touched the second time (at any time during the game), the solid yellow circle grows to fill much of the circle. Touched the third time, the pot is completely filled, and the solid yellow paint indicator is as large as the circle. Touched the fourth time, the pot overflows, sending 1/3 of a pot of paint into the cans directly above and below, as well as directly left and right. The original pot is now only 1/3 full; all the pots that received overflow are now yellow and contain 1/3 more paint. In short, touching a full yellow pot leaves all four surrounding pots yellow (in its only sacrifice of logic for playability, the game ignores the impossibility of 4/3 overflowing in four 1/3 splashes and still leaving 1/3 of a pot of paint remaining).

Herein lies the excitement of Blotty Pots. Once a pot has any blue paint in it (the opponent's color), the player cannot touch it. However, the player can change four blue pots to yellow with just a single touch of a full yellow pot. And this can be the start of a multi-iteration chain reaction, because if any overflow hits a full pot, then that pot will overflow in four directions, with difficult to calculate final results.

Feature Highlights:
* Score 1 point for each 1/3 of a pot of paint that goes into any pot during the player's turn
* Winner is the player with the highest score at the end of the game
* Game ends when one player has no possible play (all pots are the same color)
* Paint cans or pots fill 1/3 at a time and then overflow in four directions
* Play by turns
* Single player game against the machine (Easy, Medium, Hard)
* Two-player game, where players pass the iOS device back and forth
* Start with 16, 25, or 36 blotty pots
* Create a chain reaction when a full pot overflows and hits another full pot

"Blotty Pots has some similarities to the hit game Bubble Blast, because they both feature chain reactions that spread in four directions," commented Martin Leidel. "But Blotty Pots is not a series of puzzles with unique solutions. It is an unpredictable, two-player game with an unlimited number of variations and possibilities for gameplay."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 7.9 MB Full version
* 5.9 MB Lite version

Pricing and Availability:
Blotty Pots 1.0.4 for iOS is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Blotty Pots LITE 1.0.4 for iOS is free. Windows Phone and Android versions of both apps are available for $0.99 (Full) and free (Lite).

Apple Sliced Releases App Price Drops App For iPhone And iPad - Published on 12/19/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michigan based Apple Sliced today announces App Price Drops, an update to their popular app tracking utility for iOS. App Price Drops by Apple Sliced tracks App Store price fluctuations & provides a historical context for those prices. Apple Sliced uses a proprietary tracking algorithm that allows it to catch every popular app sale almost as soon as it goes into effect. With the introduction of App Price Drops, Apple Sliced is now offering its users a way to save on popular iPhone and iPad apps.

Sand Point, Michigan - Apple Sliced today is proud to announce App Price Drops, an iOS app that tracks App Store price fluctuations and provides a historical context for those prices. Apple Sliced uses a proprietary tracking algorithm that allows it to catch every popular app sale almost as soon as it goes into effect.

The mission of Apple Sliced has always been to help consumers find the lowest prices on Apple products. But with the introduction of the App Price Drops app, Apple Sliced is now offering its users a way to save on popular iPhone and iPad apps.

"App prices are constantly in flux. An app that was $2.99 yesterday might be free tomorrow and $4.99 the day after that," says Matt Kraft, founder of Apple Sliced. "With our new App Price Drops app, iOS users won't have to worry about missing a single app sale."

A web-based version of App Price Drops went live on Apple Sliced in September and almost immediately became the most highly trafficked section of the site. Kraft says approximately 25% of site visitors are using a mobile device, so launching an app for App Price Drops was an obvious move. Apple Sliced is continuing to improve the App Price Drops app and is scheduled to launch its first big update within a month.

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

Pricing and Availability:
App Price Drops by Apple Sliced 1.12 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Apple Sliced was created as a solution to the countless queries from friends and family members about where to find the lowest prices on Apple products. It used to be that Apple products, the best on the market, were also the most expensive. But with Apple Sliced, the high price tag is a thing of the past. From Macs to iPods, Apple Sliced takes the Apple Store out of the buying equation. What it adds is a network of trusted merchants competing to bring consumers the best price on the market. That can mean savings in the hundreds of dollars. Copyright (C) 2011 Apple Sliced. All Rights Reserved.

NoodleWorks Interactive Receives Two Coveted KAPi Awards - Published on 12/19/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based NoodleWorks Interactive today announced that they received two KAPi awards. Their Noodle Words iPad app won the award for Best Educational Product of the year; Mark Schlichting, the company's founder and designer, won the Legend Pioneer award. Noodle Words is a highly interactive word toy for children 4-to-7 years olds. Mark Schlichting is a well-known creator of the children's multimedia and interactive design industry.

San Francisco, California - NoodleWorks Interactive, an innovative digital design company specializing in children's interactive media, is pleased to announce that they received two KAPi awards. Their Noodle Words iPad(R) app won the award for Best Educational Product of the year; Mark Schlichting, the company's founder and designer, won the Legend Pioneer award.

The KAPi Awards recognize digital innovation in children's technology during the past year, and cover apps, eBooks, video games, Internet sites and smart toys that target kids up to age 15. This year, 13 judges reviewed 635 children's technology products. The KAPi Awards were created by Children's Technology Review and Living in Digital Times, the organizers of the Kids@Play Summit at International CES January 10-13, 2012.

"At NoodleWorks, we believe learning is fun, and that's why we focus on opportunities for kids to learn through the joy of play", said Mark Schlichting, founder of NoodleWorks Interactive. "It is our goal with Noodle Words to create a new category of interactive educational media that deserve to be called Toys. I feel very honored and humbled to win this award, and to be in the company of those who have won before."

Noodle Words is a highly interactive word toy for children 4-to-7 years olds. Part of what makes Noodle Words innovative is that the words themselves come alive (SPIN spins, JUMP jumps), and The Noodle Bugs, Stretch and Squish, act out the meaning of each word in over 100 animations. Language acquisition happens almost by osmosis as kids explore what the words and bugs can do.

Warren Buckleitner, Editor of Children's Technology Review, described Noodle Words as, "The power of magic, applied skillfully."

Additionally, Noodle Words designer, Mark Schlichting, received the KAPi Pioneer Award for his earlier innovative work as the creator of Brderbund's Living Books series of multilingual interactive storybooks as well as his continuing efforts to create highly original interactive content for children.

Mark Schlichting is a well-known creator of the children's multimedia and interactive design industry. He is an expert in children's design and probably best known as the creator of Brderbund/ Random House's Living Books series of interactive storybooks.

Throughout his career, Mark's titles have won over 100 national and international awards for excellence in entertainment and education. Mark is the author/illustrator of Harry and The Haunted House, a book and CD-ROM title that sold over 300,000 copies in six languages. He is currently completing a book on the psychology and art form of computer interaction titled, Understanding Kids - Designing Interactive Media for Children. Mark directly applied the lessons from this book in the creation of Noodle Words.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
