EUROCOMP releases PocketCAS 3 iOS Mathematics Software - 75% discoun

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

EUROCOMP releases PocketCAS 3 iOS Mathematics Software - 75% discount - Published on 04/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EUROCOMP has announced PocketCAS 3.0, an upgrade to its powerful mathematics software for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. PocketCAS is a very advanced computer algebra system which makes iOS devices capable of calculating complicated mathematical problems in just seconds. The main target group are scientists, mathematicians and students. Version 3.0 brings a completely revamped interface, advanced export capabilities, 3D plotting, an improved mathematical keyboard and much more.

Bonn, Germany - EUROCOMP has announced the release of version 3.0 of its award winning mathematics software PocketCAS for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The new version is compatible with the next version of iOS and brings usability improvements as well as bug fixes. This new release is available at a 75% to allow existing users to upgrade at a reduced price.

PocketCAS is a very advanced computer algebra system which turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a device capable of calculating complicated mathematical problems in just seconds. The main target group are scientists, mathematicians and students. PocketCAS makes their everyday work a lot easier. Apart from calculating symbolic derivatives and taylor series expansions as well as plotting cartesian and polar functions, PocketCAS computes symbolic integrals, simplifies expressions and does advanced linear algebra. A vast amount of more than 500 functions enable PocketCAS to solve almost every mathematical problem.

The integrated function plotter makes it easy to visualize formulas. Users can graph cartesian as well as polar functions without having to worry about plot settings. Ease of use has always been EUROCOMP's main goal developing software. PocketCAS ships with nine tutorials. There's also an easily accessible and clear searchable list of all available functions. The list is combined with examples and syntax information for almost every available function.

Almost every object in PocketCAS can be printed or exported as PDF or image. Be it the whole document, a plot, an entry or just a single formula - it can be exported for use in other applications.

Special care has been taken in order to make text input a breeze. When working with a CAS, there's a lot of different functions one might want to enter (PocketCAS is a lot more powerful than a regular scientific calculator). The iPhone's touchscreen is not very large and as much space as possible should be available for the calculations. PocketCAS therefore introduces a special mathematical keyboard with different sections. When tapping a function's key, it will be entered including braces, with the cursor in between. If text was selected prior to pressing a function key, the previously selected text will automatically be used as the argument for the entered function.

PocketCAS makes it easy to compose physical formulas. Built-in constants and physical units allow to enter formulas from a textbook without having to substitute constants manually. Entering large matrices by hand can be a huge pain. PocketCAS' visual matrix editor assists with this task.

PocketCAS is available in two different versions. For many uses, the free version PocketCAS lite may be sufficient. It serves as a great scientific calculator and allows to plot one function at a time. PocketCAS pro adds more sophisticated CAS functions like symbolic integration and advanced linear algebra and also plots multiple functions at once.

Device Requirements:
* iPad, iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 13.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PocketCAS lite and PocketCAS pro are available in the App Store. For more detailed information, please have a look at the PocketCAS homepage. Qualified reviewers are welcome to ask for a free promo code. Should you find PocketCAS worth a note, we'd be more than happy to receive a short reference via email. The application icon, screenshots and more press material are available from the application's website.

Crop'n'Frame Update: Why do users call this iPhone App a hidden jewe

Crop'n'Frame Update: Why do users call this iPhone App a hidden jewel? - Published on 04/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FreshAir Software Inc. announces Crop'n'Frame 2.1, an update to their powerful photo framing app for iOS devices. Great for social media, scrapbooking, and many other applications, in Crop�n�Frame, users are in full control of the design the frame and mat. Choose shapes, styles and widths, and pick colors from a palette that is customized for every photo. You can even view your image in the frame while you decide how to crop it. Version 2.1 introduces QuickSets as well as minor big fixes.

Bloomington, Minnesota - FreshAir Software Inc. announces that Crop'n'Frame, the powerful iPhone photo framing app, now includes the feature most requested by users - the ability to save favorites. With version 2.1, it's easier than ever to add a personal touch to photos before sharing them with friends and family. Great for social media, scrapbooking, and many other applications.

Crop'n'Frame was chosen Best iPhoneography Utility App in the 2011 iPhone Life Buyer's Guide. It has also been featured as a top Processing App on several iPhoneography blogs.

Why do users review Crop'n'Frame as "Hidden treasure", a "hidden jewel"? Because of the extremely valuable, easy to use features that other apps just don't have:

* Color coordinated palettes, including metallic colors: Choose colors from a palette that is customized for each photo. Palette colors can be modified or made metallic, or mixed from scratch using sliders. For example, choose a predominant color from a photo, use a lighter version of the color for a mat, and a darker, metallic version for the frame and caption.

* Mix and match frame and mat shapes, widths, and styles, including vignettes. All created with vector artwork that looks great at any resolution.

* Captions: Add a resizable, movable caption. With many fonts and styles to choose from, create motivational / demotivational posters and memes, or even cover the original photo to create signs.

* Crop with or without a frame preview, optionally constraining to common aspect ratios.

There are additional powerful but subtle features that may be easy to miss at first glance. While many apps will constrain the aspect ratio of a crop, Crop'n'Frame will constrain it with or without a frame. The value of that may not be immediately obvious, but how else, for example, can you add a border to an image and then crop it so that the image plus the border exactly fills the iPhone or iPad frame, or fits on a 3x5 card? There is also an option to display the output image size in pixels, making it easy to check the final resolution.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Crop'n'Frame 2.1 is $1.99 USD. It is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Promo codes for review purposes are available upon request.
