Teleprompt+ User Manuals Now Available on the iBookstore

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

Mon Apr 23, 2012 7:00 am (PDT)



Teleprompt+ User Manuals Now Available on the iBookstore - Published on 04/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bombing Brain Interactive today announced the availability of its Teleprompt+ User Manuals on the iBookstore. These free interactive guides provide details of all the advanced features of Bombing Brain's top-selling teleprompter apps for iPad and OS X in the powerful new iBooks Author format. Why create a user manual for such an easy-to-use product? Because different users learn in different ways, and Bombing Brain believes that it has a responsibility to all users.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - "The release of iBooks Author this year was an excellent opportunity for us to take our documentation a step further" said Gene Whitaker, CEO of Bombing Brain Interactive. "While our apps are very easy to start using with little or no instruction, we believe strongly that our customers should have free, convenient access to tools to help them get the most out of their purchases."

Why create a user manual for such an easy-to-use product? Because different users learn in different ways, and Bombing Brain believes that it has a responsibility to all users to provide as much information about its products as possible. Noting the popularity of its instructional videos online, Bombing Brain wanted to seize the opportunity to make its official manuals more engaging and media rich.

Links to the manuals can be found on the Bombing Brain web site, as well as via the built-in help area in each app. These free iBooks include text, interactive images, and videos, demonstrating all app features and serving as a reference for customers. The manuals are easily searchable for quick answers to feature questions. They can also be read from start to finish for a complete understanding of the application.

Teleprompt+ for iPad User Manual and Teleprompt+ for OS X User Manual require an iPad and the free iBooks application, available from the App Store. A free PDF version of these manuals (without interactive elements) continues to be available at bombingbrain.com.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Built from scratch to map your WiFi coverage using your built-in AirPort adapter, NetSpot is a professional wireless network management app designed exclusively and natively for Mac OS. Polished UI, exceptional usability and a balanced set of features make many users wonder why NetSpot is free.

Atlanta, Georgia - NetSpot team becomes Etwok, LLC and releases NetSpot on the Mac App Store. This step is very important for the company. NetSpot gained immediate visibility like never before, and proves to be a great user-oriented professional app. It's #4 free app in the Utilities category and #20 overall among top free Mac applications. NetSpot immediately grabs an outstanding rating of 5 stars.

Unlike other WiFi site survey apps which may cost you thousands of US dollars, and which are only available for Windows OS, and might even require additional specialized hardware to produce any results, NetSpot is free and will run on any modern MacBook. NetSpot requires Mac OS 10.6 or 10.7 and is known to run fast and flawless on developer releases of OS X Mountain Lion as well.

NetSpot is a professional wireless network management app designed exclusively and natively for Mac OS. It was not transferred or reworked from a Windows app, and was built from scratch to map your WiFi coverage using your built-in AirPort adapter. Every Mac user having a MacBook can run a WiFi site survey using NetSpot in minutes; no special knowledge is required.

NetSpot lets anyone easily build a WiFi map: get on the Mac App Store, search for NetSpot, download it for free, then load a map of the area of interest into NetSpot (developer's knowledgebase has a number of hints on how to do that), click to mark your location on the map, wait while it scans WiFi signal around you, take several samples like that, stop scanning and choose one of the visualizations. Very quickly you'll be able to get a Signal Strength report, visualize Signal-to-Noise or Signal-to-Interference ratios. There are total of 5 reports available. All of them are explained in details in the project's knowledgebase at help.netspotapp.com and can be exported into PDF for further analysis or presentation.

"After several months in development and a somewhat tedious review process, we are thrilled to announce that NetSpot, our award-winning free WiFi survey and analysis app, is finally available on the Mac App Store." - says Al Kogan, the NetSpot project designer. - "Once the upgrade to version 1.3 went public, we are getting about 3000 new users every day and are extremely excited to see the newcomers and get tremendous feedback from them. We are very open to your comments."

The first ratings that appear on the Mac App Store should also add some enthusiasm to the NetSpot team. The latest NetSpot homepage update brought the long-awaited knowledgebase to life explaining many details behind the WiFi science. Public discussion board is active.

System Requirements:
NetSpot is compatible with any Intel-based MacBook running Mac OS X 10.6 or newer and is 64-bit ready. Mac OS X Lion (10.7) and OS X Mountain Lion (10.8, preview releases) are officially supported. NetSpot 1.3 is just 4MB in file size.

Pricing and Availability:
NetSpot 1.3.344 is Free and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Utilities category. Please send your technical questions and comments to onair@netspotapp.com, or contact Al directly with any project-related inquiries.

Cutout Fighter 1.5 - Retro, Arcade, Paper Game - Free for Limited Ti

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

Cutout Fighter 1.5 - Retro, Arcade, Paper Game - Free for Limited Time - Published on 04/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today Eligo Games introduces Cutout Fighter 1.5 for iOS, which is available for free Limited Time. It is a Retro style game based on a fast-paced 2D fighter game engine utilizing pixelated-style graphics with blood free paper effects and mini games inside of it. Set in a world where everything, including the characters, is made out of paper, players must fight their way through levels of opponents to reach, battle and destroy the paper-consuming nemesis, The Black Hole.

Vilnius, Lithuania - Eligo Games today is pleased to introduce Cutout Fighter 1.5 for iOS, which is available for free Limited Time. It is a Retro style game based on a fast-paced 2D fighter game engine utilizing pixelated-style graphics with blood free paper effects and mini games inside of it. Set in a world where everything, including the characters, is made out of paper, players must fight their way through levels of opponents to reach, battle and destroy the paper-consuming nemesis, The Black Hole. With the survival of Paper World on the line, players must cut, slash, tear and dissolve opponents, to reach the powerful boss and win the game.

"Cutout Fighter is the 2D casual fighting game you've been waiting for," stated Eligo Games' CEO Pavel Laurs. "Created for gamers by gamers, available free for a limited time and injected with mini games, Cutout Fighter throws you into Paper World, where you'll have to build your skill to feel free to leave."

Cutout Fighter's imaginative storyline blurs the line between game and reality. Set in Pixel Universe's Paper World, in the depths of the Game Designer's mind, the peaceful cutout paper inhabitants must battle a vengeful creature created and discarded by the Game Designer. This creature, The Black Hole, wants to destroy all of the paper inhabitants of Paper World. To save their world, the paper characters must fight other paper characters to advance levels and to destroy the Black Hole.

Choosing from seven characters and seven battle settings, players battle with kicks, punches, jumps, and specialized moves like cuts, tears, and dissolves, to defeat opponents. Much more than a simple push button fighter, Cutout Fighter players have special Paper Overdrive challenges, where they compete against the clock to employ specialized fighting moves.

Timed Paper Overdrives are divided into four categories according to the type of damage they inflict: Cut, Tear, Dissolve, and Cremate. In Cut Paper Overdrives, players must accomplish tasks such as using finger swipes to trace slash lines and inflict damage on competitors. In Tear Paper Overdrives, player tasks include trying to beat the clock in tearing limbs from opponents using ropes and gears. In Dissolve Paper Overdrives, players complete timed tasks such as filling test tubes with the correct potion formula to dissolve an opponent. In the Cremate Paper Overdrive, players must construct a flamethrower before time runs out, to incinerate their opponent.

With over 1,500 hand-drawn images, an 8-bit music soundtrack, and more than 200 sound effects, Cutout Fighter is 2D gaming art. Cutout Fighter's cartoon characters feature animated paper effects and avoid the bloody animation of many 2D Fighter games. Players choose from seven characters, seven unique game locations, Tournament or Single Game play mode, and three levels of difficulty in this highly customizable, fast and dynamic arcade style game.

Cutout Fighter features many fun-to-unlock upgrades for characters and settings. Upgradable characters have abilities that increase the game challenges and fun. Upgradable and standard game settings include Paper City, Hospital, Secret Garden, Dream World, Savannah, Secret Base, and Beta Ground. Changeable settings and characters make this a dynamic game that players will enjoy. Players may play a quick game for a few minutes or an extended hours-long, skill-perfecting marathon.

Feature Highlights:
* Fast and fun game
* Retro, artistic pixelated graphics style
* Animated paper effects, instead of blood
* 1500+ hand-drawn, handcrafted images
* 200+ stunning sound effects
* Choose from 7 characters, including 2 secret characters

* Unleash 4 Deadly Paper Overdrives, killing opponent instantly
* Classic, arcade style fighting control system
* Choose from Single or Tournament game modes
* Customize with one of three levels of difficulty
* Game Center Achievements and Leader Boards via Apple's Game Center

Cutout Fighter offers players many options to customize the game. Players may choose levels of difficulty from Lame, Wicked and Insane levels. Players may adjust the volume or the music and sound effects independently, offering the chance to mute the background music while boosting sound effect levels. Both Quick Game and Tournament Mode settings offer the ability to customize the number of rounds and the length of each tournament, with lengths ranging form 120 seconds to the unlimited infinity play.

Cutout Fighter features over twenty player achievement badges based on performance during game play. Achievements include "I Did It!" a reward for successfully executing one Paper Overdrive, "No Time to Stop," received for playing for at least five hours, and "Score Grinder," an award for earning at least 100,000 points in Tournament Mode. Award badges are kept in a player's Trophy list and include information, by percentage, of how close a player is to receiving each badge.

Eligo Games has taken care to maintain the high quality and exquisite design for which they, the creators of Gods of Nibiru, are known. Available on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad platforms, Cutout Fighter can be found worldwide in the App Store. With upgradable options, Cutout Fighter can be downloaded for free Limited Time.

BAM! Jr. 1.1.0 for iOS - Fast Matching Game for 2 - 8 Preschool Kids

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

Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:02 am (PDT)



BAM! Jr. 1.1.0 for iOS - Fast Matching Game for 2 - 8 Preschool Kids - Published on 04/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NoMoreMouse today announces a huge update for BAM! Jr. 1.1 for iOS, their very successful matching Game for 2 - 8 preschoolers, where the pace of gameplay gets faster and faster until all players but the winner are eliminated. At the start of the game, each player chooses one of eight different colored shapes. During gameplay, the eight shapes are displayed randomly, and each player in turn must quickly tap on the screen when their chosen shape appears, with the last remaining player the winner.

Amsterdam, Netherlands - NoMoreMouse today is pleased to announce BAM! Jr. 1.1.0 for iOS, a major update to their highly successful matching Game for 2 - 8 preschoolers, where the pace of gameplay gets faster and faster until all players but the winner are eliminated. At the start of the game, each player chooses one of eight different colored shapes. During gameplay, the eight shapes are displayed randomly, and each player in turn must quickly tap on the screen when their chosen shape appears, with the last remaining player the winner.

An ideal game for preschool children and their families, BAM! Jr. starts off as great fun and builds to wild hysteria. With a group of preschool kids seated on the floor in a circle, the iDevice is in the center. At the start of a game, each player in the circle chooses one of the eight different shapes. When everyone has chosen a shape, touching Go begins the game.

Eight Different Shapes:
* Blue duck on a yellow background
* Green car on a magenta background
* Cyan bird on a red background
* White robot on a gray background
* Yellow flower on a blue background
* Magenta frog on a green background
* Red fish on a cyan background
* Gray airplane on a white background

Initially, each shape is displayed for a few seconds, making identification easy. The sound of an alarm clock being wound up is heard throughout the game, and at the start, it is being wound slowly. As the game continues, the winding sound effect remains at the same pitch, but the winding becomes progressively faster. As the rounds go by, the shapes are displayed faster and faster. The combination of the sound effects and visual flashing induces convulsive laughter in young children as they try desperately to keep up.

Feature Highlights:
* Fast-paced matching game for 2 - 8 players
* No ads, just a fun game for kids
* Tap the screen when your shape is displayed
* Shapes are displayed at an increasing rate of speed as gameplay continues
* Challenging matching game that improves coordination and recognition

By the time 50 shapes have been displayed, they appear at the rate of two or more per second, which poses quite a challenge to children and adults alike. With practice, however, players may reach 100 shapes or more by the time a winner is declared. Fortunately, there is no penalty for tapping the screen when a shape that no one has chosen is displayed. Players are eliminated when they fail to tap on the screen fast enough when their shape is displayed. Relying on color matching, easier and faster, is a risky strategy, because the color combinations are reversed between the first four shapes and backgrounds and the last four shapes and backgrounds.

"BAM! Jr. is the game that kids and families never get enough of," commented Gideon Rijnders of NoMoreMouse. "Don't blink, keep your eyes on the screen, wait for your shape, and then BAM!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 10.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BAM! Jr. 1.1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, NoMoreMouse was founded by Gideon Rijnders in 2010 on the firm belief that playing games together is more fun than playing games alone. Dirk Bertels & Gideon Rijnders both work in advertising (Internet & film), both have kids, and started NoMoreMouse for fun. BAM! and BAM! Jr. are their first games.

Each icon can be edited independently, and users can include more than one phone number listing per icon, offering multiple contact numbers. One of multiple numbers can be designated the preferred or default number, and multiple listings are available for email, FaceTime, and text services as well.

New iPhone App Releases Emotions Hidden in Pockets and Purses

New iPhone App Releases Emotions Hidden in Pockets and Purses - Published on 04/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feel Well Apps today is pleased to announce FeelingsOnTap 1.1 for iPhone, an app which enables users to choose how they want to feel. FeelingsOnTap blends hypnotism techniques with personal photos and songs to allow users to experience new feelings. FeelingsOnTap works by guiding users to choose photos and songs from their mobile device that are capable of triggering powerful positive emotions, and then combining them to dramatic effect and amplifying the emotional impact.

Basel, Switzerland - FeelingsOnTap app blends hypnotism techniques with personal photos and songs to allow iPhone users to experience new feelings as easily as tapping a drop-down menu.
FeelingsOnTap works by guiding users to choose photos and songs from their mobile device that are capable of triggering powerful positive emotions. It combines them to dramatic effect and amplifies the emotional impact with hypnotic language and NLP. Each emotion is accompanied by poignant words of insight, soothing graphics and the users' personal picks of songs and photos, heightening the mood change step by step until users snap into a powerful new state.
FeelingsOnTap's menu of emotions allows users to choose to feel joyful, energized, secure, loved, motivated, confident, relaxed, unique, or optimistic at the tap of a screen. While other mood-altering apps use generic approaches, FeelingsOnTap is unique in bringing out the individual emotions saved on users' iPhones or iTouches.

A Treasure of Emotion in Millions of Pockets and Purses:

Advancing technology and the proliferation of smartphones means that millions of users now carry a wellspring of latent emotion in their pockets or purses at all times. As they take party photos, discover new music, rediscover childhood songs, photograph holidays and share good times with friends, users multiply this hidden treasure of emotion.

FeelingsOnTap is the first app that leverages those feelings so users can experience peak states even when mired in traffic, swell with optimism even after a setback or stride with confidence before a crucial job interview.

"I've regularly witnessed amazing potential in the power of positive emotions to improve lives and even heal illness," Dr. Brown said. "So I resolved to place that power into people's hands and create FeelingsOnTap. The nature of emotions is highly personal, which means that the user's own photos and songs are the perfect key to unlocking positive emotional states."

Dr. Brown is a Swiss-based medical doctor who has spent years studying the rejuvenating impact of altering emotional states, and the increased wellbeing and resourcefulness it instills in people. His study has led him to devise actionable means to change moods. FeelingsOnTap is the first in a series of apps designed to enable iPhone and iTouch users to live more fulfilling, productive, and happier lives by altering their emotional states.

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

Pricing and Availability:
FeelingsOnTap 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

Art Authority adds an iBook - Published on 04/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Open Door Networks and Project A announced today that they are shipping their first iBook through Apple's iBookStore. "Exploring Art with Art Authority" is a free companion to the popular line of classic art apps, Art Authority, intended to supplement and add context to what's been hailed as an experience unlike any other. "Exploring Art with Art Authority" is organized in the same way as the apps, with one chapter for each of the eight major art periods.

Ashland, Oregon - The creators of the award-winning "Art Authority" app line announced today that they are shipping their first iBook through Apple's iBookStore. "Exploring Art with Art Authority" is a free companion to the popular line of classic art apps, intended to supplement and add context to what's been hailed as "an experience unlike any other."

"Exploring Art with Art Authority" is organized in the same way as the apps, with one chapter for each of the eight major art periods: Early, Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, Impressionism, Modern, Contemporary and American. Each chapter includes a brief summary of the period, a short movie showing off that period's "room" in the iPad app's museum, and an overview of a few of the key works from that period. A summary of the app line itself concludes the book.

"We think the new Art Authority iBook should serve as a great introduction to the app for those just getting started with it, and as a great companion for others who already know and love the app," said Alan Oppenheimer, president of Art Authority partner Open Door Networks, Inc. "The book continues our goal of helping users explore, learn about, and enjoy art in as many ways as possible."

The book is available through the iBooks app on the iPad, and the iBooks Web site. Details of all Art Authority products, including a recently demonstrated social network, currently in beta testing, are available at the Art Authority Web site.

Art Authority for iPad is the only iPad Reference app to be named to Apple's Rewind 2011 and Rewind 2010 "best of" lists. It brings over 50,000 high-resolution classic works of art to users' fingertips. Hailed as "an experience unlike any other" and "visually dazzling," the app professionally displays paintings and sculptures by over 1000 major western artists from ancient times through current-day. The app is in use by Seton Hill University and a number of other educational institutions worldwide. Art Authority for Macintosh, iPhone, and Kindle Fire bring similar functionality to these devices.

Art Authority is the product of an innovative collaboration between two separate software companies, Open Door Networks and Project A. The mission of Art Authority is the design, development and deployment of the best ways for users to experience art on their modern-day devices.

Steampunk Holmes New Sherlock Holmes Book App Project Hits Kickstart

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

Tue Apr 24, 2012 5:01 am (PDT)



Steampunk Holmes New Sherlock Holmes Book App Project Hits Kickstarter - Published on 04/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Noble Beast, LLC has launched a Kickstarter project to create a transmedia interactive storytelling experience featuring an adaptation of a Sherlock Holmes story set in a steampunk universe. The ebook Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus by P.C. Martin is now available at Smashwords.com and this funding will be used to create the web app, print and iPad app versions of the story. New innovations in digital publishing will allow readers to engage with the story on a level previously unseen.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Noble Beast, LLC has launched Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus, a mashup of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and other classic 19th-century fiction set in a steampunk universe. The story is available now as an ebook and is in development for an interactive web app and iPad app as well as an illustrated print version. A two-week crowdfunding campaign to fund the book app has been launched on Kickstarter and will end May 3, 2012 at 3:42 p.m. EDT.

This is an international project with talent participating from the United States, Argentina and Great Britain. Artist Daniel Cortes of Buenos Aires has created fantastic animated artwork depicting characters, scenes, and steampunk devices. Music is provided by Seattle, Washington steampunk band Abney Park.

Richard Monson-Haefel, founder of Noble Beast, LLC, is producing the series. Author P.C. Martin has adapted the original Sherlock Holmes story and added a dash of Steampunk and Jules Verne. Steampunk is a genre of literature, art, and music based on the Victorian aesthetic and updated with steam-powered science fiction.

The future of publishing has arrived with this interactive multi-channel Sherlock Holmes project. Richard Monson-Haefel discusses his project: "What happens if you combine a movie with a book? You have the intimate connection that you can have with a book and you have the exciting visuals that can be produced with film...What I'm looking forward to is telling this story in a fashion that has never been done before."

The Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus app project is an example of new directions in publishing. When digital books are produced there is an opportunity to interact with the reader in a more engaging way. The Steampunk Holmes project uses the capabilities of digital media in new ways to enhance a great story. Young adult readers have particularly shown interest in cross-media manifestations of their favorite stories.

An in-app catalogue of steampunk merchandise from various vendors including music by Abney Park, clothes, and jewelry will be included in the app. Widowmakr, a street-ready motorcycle from the story, will be available from Solifague Design and Putsch Racing. A 360-degree view of the motorcycle will be available in the app catalogue.

Rewards for pledging to the Kickstarter campaign include:
* Free access to the ebook for pledges starting at $1
* Signed art posters by artist Daniel Cortes
* Print edition signed by author P. C. Martin
* CD by world-renowned Steampunk band Abney Park signed by singer Robert Brown
* Your name or portrait written into the story

The Steampunk Holmes Story:
In the Steampunk Holmes Universe, a new, more compact and powerful steam engine has been invented which powers everything from motorcycles to airships to great mechanical computers. The result is a mashup of Victorian culture and a technological revolution 100 years before its time.

The series starts in the year 1885, when Sherlock Holmes and his bionic biographer, Doctor Watson, are called in by Sherlock's sister, Mycroft Holmes, to help find the stolen plans of a very advanced submarine, the Nautilus, recovered from the watery grave of the most notorious terrorist of the British Empire, Captain Nemo. The mystery for Sherlock Holmes: Who has stolen the plans to the Nautilus and what will they do with them?

This is only the beginning of a series of adventures that will take Sherlock, Watson and Mycroft on a worldwide adventure. They encounter technological miracles, geniuses and mad men all of which are characters originally created by the early masters of speculative fiction: Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Mary Shelley.

The first installment of the series "Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus" is based on the original Arthur Conan Doyle story: "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" (c.1912). A super arc has been developed that will allow us to follow Holmes, Watson, and Mycroft on many adventures. The next story in the series will be "Steampunk Holmes: The Island of Dr. Monroe."

The adventures of Steampunk Holmes will be published as interactive books with optional audio narration, designs for super-steampunk devices (James Bond's got nothing on Holmes), and animated scenes for the iPad, web, and other platforms.
