Medford, Massachusetts - BeBop Games, LLC, an established mobile game developer, has today announced the release of What is this App? 2 for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This mysterious entertainment puzzle experience challenges players to answer the app title question by unraveling a series of brain teasers, visual puzzles, and other conundrums! The sequel to the smash hit What is this App?, What is this App? 2 is no walk in the park.

The app was newly enhanced with a few minor bug fixes and a completely revamped single player experience to boot!

What is this App? 2 was created for any mobile puzzle enthusiast tired of downloading the same rehashed puzzle games over and over onto their iPhone.

This enigma of a mobile experience puts gamers face to face with trivia challenges, logic based puzzles, and more.

Leaping Bytes releases MapPocket v.2.4 Update - Take Your Maps Anywhere - Published on 01/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leaping Bytes today announces MapPocket 2.4, an update to their iOS map application that helps save on roaming charges while traveling. MapPocket is a quick, intuitive and convenient way of using maps on the road without an Internet connection. Users can choose maps from one of four providers: Google, Mapquest, Bing or OpenStreetMap. MapPocket allows to share recorded maps with all your devices using iCloud or DropBox. Version 2.4 includes changes to GPS Tracking, Map Language selector and more.

Silver Spring, Maryland - Leaping Bytes today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of MapPocket v.2.4, an update to their map application that can help you to save a lot on roaming charges while traveling. MapPocket allows you to put online maps in your pocket, so you can use them later without an Internet connection.

Whats New in MapPocket v.2.4:
* GPS Tracking in on-line and off-line modes (distance/avg speed/altitude) - push and hold GPS button to activate
* Chinese localization (traditional and simplified)
* Map Language selector

MapPocket is a quick, convenient and feature-rich way of using maps on the road without an Internet connection. There are number of reasons why you may want to use MapPocket:

* If you go abroad and want to avoid roaming charges (while using maps)
* If you go "into the wild" where, most likely, you will not have any Internet connection (with some cell providers "wild" could mean "just around the corner")
* If you own an iPad or iPod without a cell data plan and going to wonder into an area without free WiFi
* And you can save some trees by not printing your maps anymore

Before you go offline, plan your expedition using an intuitive interface. At any moment touch one button to start recording what you see. MapPocket will remember all tiles you viewed. Once recorded, maps will be available any time without the internet connection. You can choose maps from one of four providers: Google, Mapquest, Bing or OpenStreetMap. If you go to Paris you may want to choose a "roadmap" view, if you go to the jungles of Amazonia you may prefer a "satellite" view.

Recorded maps are easily shared between all your devices using iCloud or DropBox. You can record a map using convenience of a large iPad's screen and later you can access the same map on your iPhone. While planning expedition (online), you can use standard search functionality to locate points of interest. Even when offline, you can use built-in GPS to pin-point your exact location on a recorded map.

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

Pricing and Availability:
MapPocket 2.4 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Navigation category.

Automatically edited video dances to Drop'n'Roll

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

Automatically edited video dances to Drop'n'Roll - Published on 01/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Photographers Burning Factory has released an upgraded version of V.I.K.T.O.R., their automatic video-editing iPhone app for quick and easy movie making and sharing of video clips. With the innovative "Drop'n'Roll" feature, users are now empowered to cut into the process of automatic editing by replacing individual video parts as they see more fit and leaving the rest of the edited movie intact. The app allows making and sharing of professionally-looking short movies.

Hong Kong - The innovative "Drop'n'Roll" feature allows instant, one-tap replacement of video fragments in a movie after it has already been automatically edited by V.I.K.T.O.R. Users are now empowered to cut into the process of automatic editing by replacing individual video parts as they see fit more, and leaving the rest of the edited movie intact.

V.I.K.T.O.R.'s original feature, "Refresh", enabled users to create unlimited number of movies by editing sets of video clips located on user's phone. With the new "Drop'n'Roll" feature, users can now reassemble parts of their movie clip by clip, much like a construction toy set, until they are perfectly satisfied with the outcome.

V.I.K.T.O.R. is also the only video editing app to interactively arrange filed size shots for editing. It is well-known among movie makers that for a comfort viewing experience video shots in a movie should alternate by their field size. However, due to a very subjective nature of the field size concept, this ground principle of film-making cannot be successfully applied mechanically. V.I.K.T.O.R. suggests users to manually sort their video clips by field size, and with the new "Drop'n'Roll" feature, the app takes full advantage of an automatic editing, saving users time and effort, and adding a bonus of interactive replacement, which prevents best video clips from being misplaced or left out from the final movie.

The app developers at the New Photographers Burning Factory intend to upgrade V.I.K.T.O.R. with more fun and interactive features similar to "Drop'n'Roll" in order to inspire users to assist the robot app with movie managing tasks available only to humans.

About the app:
Released late in December 2011, freemium iPhone app V.I.K.T.O.R. automatically edits video clips. With frequently updated library of "Themes" - movie editing scripts created by movie makers - the app allows making and sharing of professionally-looking short movies. With its "Drop'n'Roll" feature the app puts a new spin on developers' challenge to seamlessly combine robotic editing with fun and creative interaction between a user and the app. Positively welcomed by users and mass media, the product is currently featured in dozens of regional App Stores.

Features:
* automatic instant editing
* regularly updated collection of Themes from professionals in editing
* random choice of videos
* replacement of individual shots
* sorting shots by their field size
* unlimited number of movie versions for the same set of videos
* trimming & cropping of video clips
* 20 sec, 1 and 2 min short movies
* web, standard and HD quality (720p) output
* sharing via Youtube, Facebook or e-mail

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3.5 or later
* 20.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
V.I.K.T.O.R 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.
