BlinkMaster - iPad app that puts your instincts to the test

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

BlinkMaster - iPad app that puts your instincts to the test - Published on 12/21/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BlinkMaster builds on the human ability to connect random visual clues to facts we know. The app takes the traditional concept of trivia games to a whole new level. Each game play starts with a two-second "blink" of nine visual clues related to a famous personality, place, movie, or a book. The images are then covered with colored tiles with points on them depending on how closely the clue is connected to the correct answer. Play individually, with friends, or even with kids.

Phoenix, Arizona - Which famous personality will cross your mind if you saw the following images flash in front of you: a tiara, a crashed car and a road tunnel? There's a very high chance that your mind visualized Princess Diana by the time you were done reading the sentence.

That is the simple idea behind BlinkMaster, a fun and engaging game that puts the "power of thinking, without thinking" into your hands. This new game app for the iPad, with iPhone and iPod versions to be released soon, is loosely based on the principles of Malcolm Gladwell's best seller Blink - the Power of Thinking Without Thinking. It has great graphics and a multiple-player game option, where up to four teams can play simultaneously. This makes BlinkMaster perfect for parties, family gatherings, or just fun time on your own.

Think about it. What we see in a blink of an eye can provide us with enough information to make a connection between visual clues and famous people, movies, books, places, and more. BlinkMaster builds on the human ability to connect random visual clues to facts we know. The app takes the traditional concept of trivia games to a whole new level.

Debjani Sen, cofounder of AppChakra, the start-up behind the app, says, "BlinkMaster builds on the fun of Pictionary(TM), Charades(TM), and Trivial Pursuit(TM). It is something that everyone (and not just trivia buffs) can enjoy playing for hours." She goes on to say, "Most trivia apps are boring. They are standard text-based questions with multiple-choice answers designed to appeal to serious quizzers. BlinkMaster is refreshingly different. It is visually stimulating and appeals to everyone. The game is as fun as it is addictive. Try it alone or with friends, and you will be surprised at how you can't stop playing."

Download the BlinkMaster app and start to play, individually, with friends, or even with kids. Each game play starts with a two-second "blink" of nine visual clues (pictures) related to a famous personality, place, movie, or a book. The images are then covered with colored tiles with points on them depending on how closely the clue is connected to the correct answer.

As you reveal a clue by tapping on a tile, its point value is deducted from your starting score. Your goal is to keep your score as high as possible while guessing the correct answer.

Two versions of BlinkMaster are available, a completely "free" teaser pack with no irritating ads and a premium one featuring almost 300 questions with more than 2,500 visual clues for only $1.99, with free updates of future question packs as they are available. The premium BlinkMaster also allows multiple users to play and track their scores on the same device and has a team play option, where up to four teams can play with each other.

Santa Barbara, California / Offenbach - zuuka, publishers of the iTalk entertainment Apps and iStoryTime, the largest library of mobile children's book Apps, is proud to announce an amazing year of growth, including having nine of its iOS storybooks top the App Store charts in the book category in 2011 such as Kung Fu Panda 2, The Smurfs Movie Storybook and Puss In Boots Movie Storybook. Among them is also one of zuuka's original creations, Mika's Adventure.

Ensuring fans of iStoryTime books are able to enjoy these popular titles regardless of their mobile device, zuuka has expanded much of its library beyond the iOS platform to include Barnes & Noble's NOOKColor, Amazon's Kindle Fire and other popular Android-based mobile devices, Apples iBookstore and Barnes and Noble's Nook Kids platform.

"We believe it's important to open our digital library to as many families as possible," said Susanne Busshart, founder of zuuka. "Our strategy of having a unified process for delivery on all platforms allows us to quickly and efficiently release products on all relevant markets. We're proud to have ample evidence of having executed on our vision for both our own products as well as for publishers and content owners."

In 2011, zuuka also furthered its global reach of its award-winning library of over 130 children's books available in 80 countries to include language localization in English, German, Spanish, French, Korean, Chinese and Russian. This allowed zuuka to further cement their leadership with over 1 million new downloads in 2011, and over 700,000 in the second half alone.

"zuuka's partnership with CFP & Founders Investments earlier this year allowed us to expand our in-house studio in order to react to the extreme demand for our award-winning digital children's storybooks as well as launch our iTalk entertainment app label, zuuka comics and expand our platform support," said Graham Farrar, founder of zuuka. "Having multiple No. 1 digital storybooks across the globe speaks to the quality that our team is able to produce under one roof. Needless to say, we're very proud of our team."

zuuka also launched the first-ever interactive children's book on the iBookstore, the Five Little Pumpkins. Since then, they introduced many of their best-selling books to both the iBookstore and Barnes and Noble store, including Shrek Forever After, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda Holiday, Mika's Adventure and several more.

The mobile app and publishing industry look to zuuka as a go-to resource for the industry at large, with several high-profile speaking engagements tapping them to provide insight into trends of the over-arching digital publishing industry on a global scale as well as targeted talks on integrating digital strategies into clients' portfolios. Panel and speaking appearances were made at Kidscreen's iKids West in Santa Monica, Calif., PublishersLaunch and O'Reilly's Tools of Change at the Frankfurt Book Fair, Jason Calacanis' Pad Tablet Conference in Silicon Valley, Apps World in London and MediaBistro's Publishing App Expo.

"The uniting theme of this years trade publishing conferences has shifted from a time we talked about 'if" digital would become a desirable medium for consumers to 'how fast' will digital become the reading platform of choice," noted Woody Sears, founder of zuuka.

zuuka is already executing on plans to further accelerate their growth in 2012, "we are certainly looking forward to next year's opportunities," said Dirk Busshart, founder of zuuka. "The e-book market is growing at an unprecedented pace and we will grow and evolve along with it with many more blockbuster movie storybook apps to come, classic first-ever digital re-releases such as "The Smurfs Classic Tales" will reimagine the classic stories that fans have loved for generations, and also our own original creations. We're just getting started!"

* 3 world changing and conflicting forces to balance
* 3 trees for the players to grow
* Items to help the player remove excess elements on the land

Kanga Pouch Device Cases Make Your Device Child & Human Resistant - Published on 12/21/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alundus, LLC has announced the Kickstarter launch of its Kanga Pouch device cases for the iPad & iPhone product lines aiming to make them more child and human resistant. The case prevents the removal of the charger & audio cords, screen touches, exiting out of apps, turning the volume up, turning the device off, and are less likely to accidentally damaging the device.

College Station, TX - Alundus, LLC has announced the Kickstarter launch of its Kanga Pouch device cases for the iPad & iPhone product lines aiming to make them more child and human resistant. The case prevents the removal of the charger & audio cords, screen touches, exiting out of apps, turning the volume up, turning the device off, and are less likely to accidentally damaging the device. Your device will come back in one piece with all the apps accounted for and less fingerprints all over the screen.

We picked Kickstarter to help us with startup costs because it is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. In business since 2009, Kickstarter has raised over $40 million dollars for 7,500 creative projects. The company operates from an all-or-nothing based funding method where projects must be fully funded or no money changes hands.

What is Kanga Pouch?
For those who want their devices made much more child & human resistant! These days there are plenty of families that use iPhones and iPads as a wonderful device to help entertain and educate your kids. However these items are very expensive and not made child friendly. Plus they are easily dropped and often mishandled.

As with us, our youngest kid tends to touch the screen and start re-arranging the app icons each time he gets it. And then you notice when you get it back there are missing applications and dirty fingerprints all of the screen.

Inevitably at least 3-4 times during a movie, our son will bring us the iPad or iPhone back because he has inadvertently or probably more like advertently exited out of the movie app and he is now in another app he isn't suppose to be in (I mean really does a 23 month old need to check his email?)!

Well after about 1000 times of doing this, I am tired of it and I have taken matters into my own hands. We have created the Kanga Pouch cases for the iPhone & iPad to help us all out.

We came up with the Kanga Pouch name after the kangaroo's pouch and the protection similarities we are looking for with the case design. The kangaroo's pouch acts as a protector for the young, just like the Kanga Pouch case is aiming to do the same.

These Kanga Pouch cases are meant to make your iPhone & iPad more Child & Human Resistant. What do we mean by more Child & Human Resistant...

* Rubber Design - safe for children to use with a semi-soft outer covering but sturdy plastic internal frame case

* Re-Enforced Hinges - keeps up with the abuse it will endure from the kids

* Grip Bars - placed on the back to help children better grip the device

* Offset Front Lid - plastic screen is slightly offset from the face of the device thus disabling any screen touches to the device

* Completely Enclosed Design - keeps dirty fingerprints away from your device

* En-Cased Charger & Audio Ports - so they can't unplug the cords

* En-Cased Volume & Power Buttons - inaccessible so they can't turn the volume up too loud or cut it off accidentally

* Picture Frame Kickstand - for better propped-up viewing in both landscape and portrait modes

* Durable - tough enough to withstand dropping, stomping, and drooling

* Future Expandability - the front lid's plastic screen is removable for when the kids are old enough for additional usage but you still want the added safety of the case

With the Kanga Pouch your device becomes more resistant!

You simply place your device inside the case, pick the program you want them to watch and shut the lid. Easy and as simple as that, when your done just open the lid and take your device out.

The child is prevented from removing charger & audio cords. They are prevented from touching the screen and exiting out of the movie app, turning the volume up too loud, and even from cutting the device off. They are now less likely to accidentally damaging the device by dropping it. Your device will come back to you in one piece with all the apps accounted for and less greasy fingerprints all over the screen.

The Kanga Pouch eliminates many of the problems that we all face with our children and their iPhone & iPad devices. Best of all, Kanga Pouch cases can be used for more than just children and there are literally 100s of different ways to use it...

* If you use the iPad to display a product in your office but don't want customers playing with anything else on the device!

* You use the iPad as a picture frame but you don't want anyone playing games on the device!

* You are at a trade show and don't want anyone checking your email while they wait!

* Your on a FaceTime call and often have to pass the device from person to person but someone always accidentally hits a button.

So there are many other uses for your Kanga Pouch other than making your device more child & human resistant.

Which Device Models and Color Options?
We will be making this device for the original iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3GS, & iPhone 3G. The device will come in 5 colors to start...Black, Blue, Green, Red, and Pink. Remember with your Kanga Pouch your device becomes child & human resistant.

IGG Software's 11-11-11 Plan for fiscal sanity: save money on iBank

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

IGG Software's 11-11-11 Plan for fiscal sanity: save money on iBank 4 - Published on 12/21/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In the spirit of holiday goodwill and in an all-out effort to promote fiscal sanity, IGG Software today announces the 11-11-11 Plan: a clear proposal to put household finances on track. Simply put, Mac users laboring in the darkness of other, outdated personal finance apps can now switch to iBank 4 and save money instantly during the last 11 days of 2011. iBank 4 is the leading alternative to Quicken for personal finance management on the Mac.

Putney, Vermont - In the spirit of holiday goodwill and in an all-out effort to promote fiscal well-being, IGG Software today announces the 11-11-11 Plan: a clear proposal to put household finances on track. Simply put, Mac users laboring in the darkness of other, outdated personal finance apps can now switch to iBank 4 and save $11 instantly during the last 11 days of 2011.

"Anyone who uses a Mac understands the difference between value and price," says IGG marketing director Scott Marc Becker. "But when the value proposition is a lower price, economists would call that something egg-headed and incomprehensible. We call it 11-11-11!"

Starting on December 21 and continuing through December 31, 2011, new online purchases of iBank 4 made at the IGG Software store or at the Mac App Store will be just $48.99 - $11.00 in instant savings off the regular price.

iBank 4 is the leading alternative to Quicken for personal finance management on the Mac. Full-featured and fully compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion, iBank 4 has been the top-selling and top-grossing finance app at the Mac App Store since the store's inception nearly one year ago. And since Apple's release of Lion this summer, an unprecedented number of former Quicken users have made the switch to iBank.

Among many new features included in last year's release of iBank 4 were:

* faster transaction entry and dynamic editing options in an intuitive, innovative two-line register;
* an all-new reporting engine; envelope budgeting;
* a seamless set-up assistant for transferring data from Mac and PC versions of Quicken, MS Money, or other finance programs;
* and significant speed enhancements throughout.

These improvements built upon longstanding iBank features such as direct downloads from online accounts, custom check printing, robust data export and iPhone sync. New iBank updates appear frequently; the current version is iBank 4.3.1.

Also available from the App Store is iBank Mobile ($4.99) for iPhone and iPod touch. The app gives users the ability to enter transactions on the go, check account balances, and sync wirelessly with data stored on iBank for Mac - even allowing multiple users (such as domestic or business partners) to sync with their own documents in a shared copy of iBank.

A new, free app, iBank Investor, allows users to monitor all of their investments in one universal app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iBank Investor works as a stand-alone app to let users add positions and track gains and losses, or can sync with investments managed on a desktop copy of iBank 4 for Mac.

IGG offers unlimited 30-day free trial downloads of iBank, free support (including Live Chat) and a 90-day unconditional guarantee on direct purchases from the IGG web store. The regular retail price of iBank 4 is $59.99; licensed users of iBank 3 can upgrade for $29.99. iBank 4 requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher, and will run on Macs using either Intel or PowerPC processors. The latest version can be downloaded at the IGG Software website, where there is also access to a growing library of iBank 4 video tutorials.

SmartHF Releases First Wi-Fi Heart Rate Monitor for iPhone, iPad

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

Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:00 am (PST)



SmartHF Releases First Wi-Fi Heart Rate Monitor for iPhone, iPad - Published on 12/22/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The SmartHRM Wi-Fi Fitness Heart Rate Monitor is the first heart rate monitor to link directly and wirelessly to the iPhone and iPad. Designed for runners, cyclists and anyone interested in fitness, the monitor makes it easy for users to track their heart rate, distance, pace and other metrics on their iPhone. Simpler than existing solutions, the monitor requires no adapter, no pairing and features automatic connectivity with the iPhone and automatic upload of a user's workout.

Norwalk, Connecticut - SmartHF announces the launch of the SmartHRM Wi-Fi Fitness Heart Rate Monitor - the first heart rate monitor offering iPhones and iPad users a way to directly and wirelessly link to their iPhones for easy heart rate tracking while running, cycling or working out. The benefits of the SmartHRM Wi-Fi Monitor include:

* No Adapter Needed to Connect or Upload: The SmartHRM Wi-Fi communicates directly and wirelessly with the iPhone and iPad - unlike ANT systems and other solutions that require a dongle or extra steps to connect to their iPhone.

* No Pairing Needed: The SmartHRM Wi-Fi does not have to be paired like a Bluetooth device, providing an easy user-friendly experience.

* Compatible with All iPhones and iPad: The SmartHRM Wi-Fi monitor works with iPad and iPhone 3, 3g, 4, and 4S, using Wi-Fi connectivity between the monitor and the iPhone.

* Instant Feedback via Fitness Apps: Working with compatible fitness apps, the monitor lets users track heart rate, as well as pace, distance and other variables. Instant feedback provides users with information they can use to improve their work out and get the most out of their efforts. Current apps include SportyPal, CardioMapper and SmartHRM Wi-Fi Fitness.

* Track Fitness Online via Automatic Upload - Each workout or activity is automatically uploaded to the Web where users can review their heart rate, distance, pace, calories and other metrics over time. Dashboards vary by app and usually include other features, such as sharing progress with friends and fitness coaches and tracking against goals.

* No "Cross Talk" Interference - Users do not have to worry about interference from other heart rate monitors while working out in a gym or fitness center.

* Listen to Your Playlist -Users can listen to their favorite playlists while they record their workout data. Apps for iPod touch should be released in early 2012 allowing users to record their heart rate on their iPod.

* Use Indoors or Outside: The monitor creates its own Wi-Fi network, which communicates with the iPhone at an impressive range of over 50 yards. That means that users can take the monitor anywhere: they can tuck the iPhone in an armband or pouch while running in the woods, cycling in the streets, or running on a treadmill.

"Wi-Fi has advantages over ANT and watch-based heart rate monitors," explained Dale Hollingsworth, President. "You do not need dongles or other adapters to access your data. The monitor talks directly to the iPhone and the app automatically uploads your data to the Web. Today, iPhone users are running and cycling with their phones so they can listen to their playlists - now they can record their fitness data at the same time. The Wi-Fi connected heart rate monitor we have developed is the first of its kind and we feel it has the potential to be a game changer. Customers will find it is much easier to use then Bluetooth and ant technologies, and is easier for app developers to incorporate it into their development of new apps."

Pricing and Availability:
The SmartHRM Wi-Fi Fitness Heart Rate Monitor is available for $129.00 (USD) at SmartHF online. Other Features include a long-lasting rechargeable battery (six hours/charge) and one-year warranty.

PegLight 2 v1.0 Free for iOS - Color Pegs Drawing Tool for Kids Improved - Published on 12/22/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Knert Software today announces PegLight 2 v1.0 free for iOS, an update to their peg art Entertainment app for kids. Featuring multi-touch drawing, four different colors, and variable zoom, PegLight 1 was cited as "New & Noteworthy" and achieved 500,000 downloads. PegLight 2 adds a shape selection tool, improved GUI, and a PegLight Community for sharing peg drawings with other users. Similar to well-known toys, PegLight's giant pixels let kids create imaginative drawings.

Medford, Massachusetts - Knert Software today is pleased to announce PegLight 2 v1.0 free for iOS, a major update to their peg art Entertainment app for kids. Featuring multi-touch drawing, four different colors, and variable zoom, PegLight 1 was cited as "New & Noteworthy" and achieved 500,000 downloads. PegLight 2 adds a shape selection tool, an improved GUI, and a PegLight Community for sharing peg drawings with other users. Also available as individual, in-app purchases are: 20 different colors, square pegs, star pegs, and triangle pegs. These options add a never before seen dimension to peg art, multiplying the possibilities of color and texture enormously. Similar to well-known toys, PegLight's giant pixels let kids create imaginative drawings.

At launch in landscape orientation, PegLight 2 displays a blank canvas, a large grid of dark gray dots on a black background. In the lower left of the tab bar are five dots from which to choose: black, red, yellow, green, or blue. Touching any color selects it, and young artists can "insert" color pegs into any "hole" in the grid. Pegs can be put in one at a time by touching any dot, whether empty or already filled. Dragging across the screen creates a line of colored pegs. And dragging slowly with two fingers creates two lines. In fact, kids can draw together or use as many of their own fingers as they like. New in this version is the shape selection tool. In addition to the Normal mode, where pegs are applied individually, a Square tool lets the user drag the outline of a square or rectangle, which is automatically filled in with pegs. The Ellipse tool lets the user drag a white outline of a circle or ellipse, which is immediately filled in when the artist lifts their finger from
the screen.

The continuously variable 3x zoom makes it easy to create detailed drawings, as each dot becomes as large as or larger than a fingertip. With single pixel accuracy, artists can experiment with line and color, and use black pegs to simulate holes. A very useful new feature is that touching any dot creates a peg that is twice its normal size, which quickly shrinks down to normal. In this way, the color and shape of the peg is never hidden by the artist's finger. In addition, the touch interface has been improved so that kids can drag their finger continuously to create smooth, unbroken, complex lines and fills.

Most exciting about this latest update is the creation of a PegLight Community for sharing peg drawings with other users. From within the app, users can browse drawings that have been uploaded by others, and they can download any drawing into the app with one touch. Once opened in the app, kids can use a downloaded drawing as a template to create their own rendering of the picture. Artists can also save their own work for uploading to the Community, for display, or to continue working on later. The PegLight Community page mimics the iTunes store, with icons for Featured, Top Rated, Top Downloads, and My Uploads.

Feature Highlights:
* Completely revamped UI
* New, optional peg styles (stars, triangles and squares)
* New selection tool (Normal, Square, Ellipse)
* PegLight Community for sharing peg drawings with other PegLight 2 users
* Universal app that works on iPad and iPhone
* Improved interface from the original PegLight
* Many more features planned in the next two months

"PegLight drawings, by virtue of the medium itself, are always expressive and interesting," commented Michael Marceau of Knert Software. "Even the youngest kids will be proud of their PegLight creations."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 4.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PegLight 2 v1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. There are four different in-app purchases available for $0.99 (USD) each.

Lightwood Games brings daily one-minute word challenge to iPhone/iPad - Published on 12/22/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Lightwood Games today introduces Daily Word Bingo 1.0, their new fast-action word game for iOS devices. Featuring a new theme each day, users face a 60-second clock and compete to see who can get the highest score on daily leaderboards. The aim of the game is to think of words beginning with each letter of the alphabet within a given subject. The game is scored using a bingo card, with each of the 25 squares revealing a different letter.

Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - Lightwood Games has thrown down the gauntlet to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users, with a new daily challenge. Their latest app, "Daily Word Bingo", is a fast-action word game with a new theme each day. Users face a 60-second clock and compete to see who can get the highest score on daily leaderboards.

The aim of the game is to think of words beginning with each letter of the alphabet within a given subject. There's a different subject every day, ranging from animals to writers, boys names to yellow things. The game is scored using a bingo card, with each of the 25 squares revealing a different letter. Players earn bonus points and extra time by marking off lines, and aspire to perhaps, one day, complete a full house.

A unique feature is that after each game closes, Lightwood's team validates all the words to weed out nonsense answers and penalise cheats. Players can then check back to see their final positions for the previous day. Having already created a number of puzzle games that allow players to go head-to-head with friends, Lightwood wanted to bring together larger groups of users for a word battle.

"Daily Word Bingo gives everyone a quick daily word game fix that they can play anywhere. It only asks for one minute of your time", said Lightwood's Chris Newman. "It sounds so simple - and really it is - but it's amazing how easily your mind goes blank under the pressure of the clock".

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* 3.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Daily Word Bingo 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. It is supported by in-game advertising, which can be removed via in-app purchase.
