Remote Captcha for iOS v1.2 - Published on 02/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Remote Captcha sends CAPTCHAs prompted by the download manager jDownloader to an iPhone, iPod or iPad, so the user can solve it without having to be in front of his computer. This new version includes a Free Trial period. It's simple and useful. In the computer side, the user has to extract a few files inside the jDownloader application directory, and to enter the user name and password in a text file. There is no need to set up obscure router configurations like many remote utilities require.

Cordoba, Argentina - Just when you thought that there was no more apps to make for the iPhone, Remote Captcha comes in. Originated from a "many users real need", Remote Captcha was made so the user can leave his computer on, downloading thousands of files from popular file hosting sites, without having to be in front of the computer to enter the CAPTCHAs that jDownloader prompts him. These CAPTCHAs are sent to the user's iOS device, and get notified through Apple Push Notifications so he can solve it, right there on his iPhone. Downloads continue normally on the user's computer.

The new v1.2 introduces a free trial period so users can test the App before they buy a subscription. It also includes Twitter and Facebook badges, so users have a direct access to follow and/or like Remote Captcha in their preferred social networks. This is also good because every announcement referred to the App is done via Twitter and Facebook, so users can be more in touch with important App news.

One good thing about this App, besides its utility, is that is simple for the user. In the App side, the only thing the user has to do is to register with a user name and password. That's all. In the computer side, the user has to extract a few files inside the jDownloader application directory, and to enter the user name and password in a text file. There is no need to set up obscure router configurations like many remote utilities require doing.

Simple, useful and effective, this is, Remote Captcha. Check the video for a demonstration about how this App works.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 0.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Remote Captcha 1.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Umami Debuts First Real-Time Sharing of a TV Program's Images - Published on 02/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Just in time for Sunday's Oscars telecast on ABC-TV, NYC-based second screen startup Umami will let users of its free "companion TV" app instantly grab and share, via Twitter and Facebook, images from the programs they're watching. The "freeze frame" feature is one of several Umami has updated since it launched its free continuously synchronous app for the iPad in November. Umami is announcing Dishboard, a new social TV dashboard that visualizes the conversation occurring around a TV show.

New York - In Time for Sunday's Oscars Telecast, Companion TV App Umami Debuts First Real-Time Sharing of a TV Program's Images

"FreezeFrame" Tops List of New Umami Features Designed to Make Social TV Even More Visual and Relevant to TV Viewers

Buoyed by the extraordinary social success of this year's Super Bowl and Grammy Awards, New York-based startup Umami TV (www.umami.tv) today unveiled major enhancements to its free companion TV app for the iPad that are designed to make the conversation around TV more visual, fun and accessible for TV viewers.

"FreezeFrame" allows users to instantly capture and share images from the shows they're watching with their friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter. Not unlike Pinterest for the web, users can now share imagery of their favorite moments, actors, recipes, products and more, in real-time, while they watch.

Needless to say, this first-of-its-kind social TV function is tailor-made for the fashionistas who will follow the best (and worst) dressed on the red carpet at this year's Oscar ceremonies on ABC-TV this Sunday, February 26.

In addition, Umami is announcing "Dishboard", a new social TV dashboard that visualizes the conversation occurring around a TV show as it unfolds. Users can see how many people are talking about the show with real-time infographics. The app also automatically identifies the most popular links and tweets that are trending around a show. With this release, Umami is also enabling users to share what they're interacting with while they watch.

"TV is the ultimate lean-back, visual medium, and we've always felt social TV should mirror these characteristics," explained Umami TV co-founder and CEO Scott Rosenberg. "With this update, we're making the conversation around TV more visual, fun and relevant for viewers."

Launched in November, Umami uses proprietary audio fingerprinting technology to sync continuously to live or time-shifted programming from all major broadcast and cable networks. It then provides rich, program-related content, conversation and more in a fun, living room-friendly experience.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Umami for iPad 1.1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

The company, led by digital media veterans from TV Guide, Comcast, AOL and CBS, recently launched its first product, Umami TV for iPad, available for free in the App Store.

Blue Quoll Launches Puss In Boots The Great Adventure StoryBook App - Published on 02/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Puss in Boots - The Great Adventure 1.0 by independent developer Blue Quoll Digital is now available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices. Recommended for children ages 2 and over, this interactive picture book app reinvents and rejuvenates this timeless classic, with the charm, inventiveness and artistic value that characterizes Blue Quoll productions. Children can read the story themselves or have it read by the narrators, they can also interact with each page of the story.

Brisbane, Australia - Independent developer Blue Quoll Digital has announced that its Puss in Boots, The Great Adventure for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the App Store. This interactive picture book app, recommended for children ages 2+ reinvents and rejuvenates this timeless classic, with the charm, inventiveness and artistic value that characterizes Blue Quoll productions.

Children can read the story themselves or have it read by the narrators, they can also interact with each page of the story by tapping on the illustrations and revealing sounds, popup speech balloons and character voices.

"We have extended notably the functionality of the PopUp Tap and discover feature compared to our previous app, Mr Wolf and the Ginger Cupcakes" says Vincenzo Pignatelli, Artistic Director and Founder of Blue Quoll Digital. "We made sure it is worth exploring each page for children as they get rewarded both visually and acoustically by a popping balloon, a sound or the voice of characters mumbling, grunting and cheering".

"It is getting increasingly difficult nowadays to ignite media attention using press releases for book apps, as expression such as 'gorgeous illustrations' or 'enchanting narration' are overused and are loosing their meaning" says Lucia Masciullo, Illustrator of the book. "However our stories are truly beautiful as illustrations are hand crafted using traditional techniques and story-lines are unique yet still tied to a heart warming tradition".

Puss in Boots, the Great Adventure app follows the release of top selling in Italy, Apple-featured, Mr Wolf and the Ginger Cupcakes in May 2011 and it's available in English, Italian, German, Spanish and French.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 72.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Puss in Boots - The Great Adventure 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.
