Learn Chinese from American-born Chinese-translated interactive scripts - Published on 04/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Beijing based independent development team Zachary Wang and Zuo Peng introduced Small Talk Chinese for the iPad. Small Talk Chinese teaches Chinese through punchy English dialogues adapted from movies, television, and other media outlets, which are then crowd-sourced for translation into Chinese. The dialogues, which feature popup word definitions and Chinese audio from native speakers, are organized around fun topics like dating, fashion, and the office place.

Beijing, China - Small Talk Chinese is an iPad app that takes something very familiar to English speakers - dialogues from movies and television shows - and uses that content to create interactive Chinese lessons. Each lesson is based around a theme, like dating, and is then broken down into topics, such as getting to know each other, sweet talk, and arguments. The dialogues mix both practical vocabulary and dramatic content, making learning Chinese both useful and amusing. Because the dialogues are not artificially created, as often is the case in older Chinese textbooks that feature lessons on trips to the Great Wall or the first day of Chinese class, users learn words in the context of phrases and sentences that they will actually use in day-to-day life.

Each topic has three sections: the dialogues, fill-in-the-blanks, and a listening test. These sections feature the following:

* Pop-up definitions for every word. Tap any character to view the pinyin and English definitions. These pinyin and English definitions are adapted from the popular open-source dictionary CC-CEDICT, which has over 100,000 entries.

* Native Chinese audio clips for each individual line of dialogue. All the Chinese is spoken at actual speed to acclimate intermediate Chinese learners to the pace of real Chinese.
* English to accompany every line of Chinese. It is critical that the Chinese learner always knows the exact meaning of what he or she is learning. Individual word definitions are often insufficient to convey the real meaning of a Chinese sentence, which is why having a true English translation is so critical.

* Fill-in-the-blank exercises. These exercises extract key vocabulary words from each dialogue to test whether learners can fit them back into the conversation. Related vocabulary and phrases are tested together to encourage recall of frequently associated words. The fill-in-the-blank target words also tend to be the more advanced vocabulary, to ensure that the user is always being challenged.

* Listening comprehension tests. These tests require you to not only recognize full lines of spoken Chinese, but also to know how they are translated into English. The user taps on the play button, hears a line taken from one of the dialogues, and then must select the correct English translation. After making a selection, the user can toggle back-and-forth between the Chinese and English.

The difficulty levels in Small Talk Chinese differ with the subject matter. Easier topics, like travel, are matched to the level of Chinese learners with at least one-year equivalent of university Chinese. More advanced topics like expressing emotions, are suitable for 3rd or 4th year Chinese students. Easier lessons for beginners will be added in the future. However, beginners can still use Small Talk Chinese by focusing on the simpler dialogue lines, which they can identify by gauging the complexity of the English that accompanies the Chinese.

The translations of American movies and television shows are originally done by Chinese fans. These crowd-sourced translations cover the majority of major movies and television shows over the past decade. While the quality of the fan translations is generally quite good, curation by the Small Talk Chinese team is necessary to ensure accuracy. The principle behind Small Talk Chinese's translations is that the Chinese should only represent what a Chinese person would actually say. Therefore, an English phrase such as, "You couldn't be ordinary if you tried" will not be translated literally, as that would sound strange in Chinese. Instead the phrase is translated in Chinese to something closer to "You're not ordinary in even the slightest manner." Therefore, users can always be confident that the Chinese they are learning from Small Talk Chinese will be perfectly natural when used in the real world.

This initial release of Small Talk Chinese is the first step in developing a superior mobile Chinese learning tool for the serious Chinese studier. The Small Talk Chinese team has many feature and content updates planned, including customize vocabulary list, spaced-repetition learning, and social learning collaboration tools.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 41.9 MB

Smartphone safety eBook now available in paperback form - Published on 04/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rod Cambridge, the author of How NOT To Use Your Smartphone, has released a paperback version of the eBook. Increasingly, smartphone users are being hacked because they don't understand how to configure or use their devices safely. And identity thieves can do an awful lot of bad once they have someone's personal information. The bad guys can trick smartphone owners into connecting to insecure Wi-Fi networks where their credentials and other private information becomes exposed.

London, United Kingdom - Due to popular demand Rod Cambridge, the author of 'How NOT To Use Your Smartphone', has released a paperback version of the eBook.

Increasingly, smartphone users are being hacked because they don't understand how to configure or use their devices safely. And identity thieves can do an awful lot of bad once they have someone's personal information. The bad guys can trick smartphone owners into connecting to insecure Wi-Fi networks where their credentials and other private information becomes exposed. They can drop malware onto a device without the user realising, or make the smartphone call or text premium numbers that the bad guys own, pocketing the cash while the user ends up with huge bills. All too often the victims of hackers also have to deal with financial, banking, credit card, and utilities fraud, loss of social and professional reputation, and more.

In this book, computer security professional Rod Cambridge highlights the dangers of mobile computing and provides solutions, tips, and advice to help the user avoid being hacked through their smartphone.

"Smartphone and tablet users just don't realise how vulnerable they are to ID theft" said Rod, "the bad guys know that users often engage in the risky usage practices that I highlight in the book, so they now have smartphones and tablets firmly in their sights - especially as these devices typically contain valuable information such as contacts, addresses, passwords, and account details."

Smartphone owners armed with this book will be able to identify, and avoid, those risky usage practices - protecting their valuable information and data at the same time.

How NOT To Use Your Smartphone is second in the How NOT To series of eBooks. The first, How NOT To Write an App was launched last year. Additional books in the 'How NOT To' series will be released during 2012.

The eBook version of How NOT To Use Your Smartphone is priced at $2.99, and the paperback version is priced at $7.99.

Cheat Some Offers to Help Draw Something Players - Published on 04/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A new iPhone and iPad app has been released to help players of the social phenomenon Draw Something. Unlike other games like poker or baseball where cheating is generally frowned upon, Draw Something is based on cooperative play, which makes cheating actually beneficial to both players. "Besides," adds Heagy, "not everyone knows what the hell a 'tebow' is." Cheat Some knows all possible words, and can suggest them from the letters provided in the game.

Saskatoon, Canada - A new iPhone and iPad app has been released to help players of the social phenomenon Draw Something. Unlike other games like poker or baseball where cheating is generally frowned upon, Draw Something is based on cooperative play, which makes cheating actually beneficial to both players. "Besides," adds Heagy, "not everyone knows what the hell a 'tebow' is."

"Playing fair," says Nate Heagy, creator of Cheat Some, the just-released assistance app for Draw Something players, "is a real pain in the ass."

Unlike other games like poker or baseball where cheating is generally frowned upon, Draw Something is based on cooperative play, which makes cheating actually beneficial to both players. "Besides," adds Heagy, "not everyone knows what the hell a 'tebow' is."

With Cheat Some it no longer matters if a player has the a given word in their vocabulary; Cheat Some knows all possible words, and can suggest them from the letters provided in the game. Available for free on the iTunes app store, the app can use 8 letters to find a solution, which is the same number of tiles remaining after using a 'bomb' from within Draw Something. A single in-app purchase unlocks the ability to use 12 letters.

In addition to the advanced word game cheating engine Heagy has honed for previous apps such as 'Word Descrambler', Cheat Some's graphics were created by Levi Myers who said, "Don't you dare print my name."

Cheat Some is available immediately on the iTunes app store for free, with a single in-app purchase on sale at $0.99 for a limited time.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 3.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cheat Some 1.0.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Bad Things Rush at you When You Give A Conservative A Cookie

Bad Things Rush at you When You Give A Conservative A Cookie - Published on 04/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

"If You Give A Conservative A Cookie" storybook app for the iPad was released today by Trajan Books. Written and illustrated by Stephen Cody, the creator of the children's enhanced iBook "There's An Elephant Following Me", "If You Give A Conservative a Cookie" is a political parody of Laura Joffey Numeroff's "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". In this story, a small cigar-smoking pachyderm with attitude finds his way to a house in the suburbs. A nice young woman offers him a cookie.

Miami, Florida - In this story, a small cigar-smoking pachyderm with attitude finds his way to a house in the suburbs. A nice young woman offers him a cookie.

That one act of kindness begins an unintended chain of events that tests the young woman's patience and resolve and, if she allows things to get out of hands, could alter her life permanently. If you give a conservative a cookie, he'll need something to wash it down with, so he's going to ask for a glass of scotch, and then another, and then another. After a brief nap on the kitchen counter, he wants to freshen up. While in the bathroom, he peeks into the young woman's medicine cabinet and finds a blister pack of pills. The little gray conservative is outraged, telling the young woman that if her insurance paid for the pills, she's going to have to post nasty videos of herself on YouTube.

After a full day, including accusations of anti-Americanism and even a marriage proposal, the hide-bound mini-mammoth finds he is thirsty once more. When he demands a glass and some ice for the contents of his hip flask, the young woman makes her a choice.

"If You Give a Conservative Cookie" incorporates 3D renders, the same type used in Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story" series, in telling the story of what happens when an unwanted guest shows up, tries to take over, and just won't leave.

The app includes:
* 31 richly illustrated storybook pages
* A witty, comical and thought-provoking story
* Humorous sound effects provide a dynamic multimedia reading experience
* Audio options to "Read to Me" (narration read by the author) or "Read Myself"
* Written for ages 16 and up

Author/illustrator Stephen Cody has published two enhanced iBooks, "There's An Elephant Following Me!" and ABC's of the Universe - The Smart Edition and ABC's of the Universe - The Really Smart Edition. A graduate of the writing program at Florida State University, he also the author of the top-selling legal thriller, "Lying in State" and the newly released "Soulless", both of which are available for the Kindle, Nook, in the Apple iBook Store, and on iTunes.

"If You Give a Conservative a Cookie" will be followed up in May 2012 by "If You Give a Liberal a Latte."

Cody has worked as a political consultant and attorney for some of the nation's leading political figures, both Republicans and Democrats, including United States House of Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart (R - Miami), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R - Miami), David Rivera (R - Miami), and Corrine Brown (D - Jacksonville), as well as former U.S. Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R - Miami).

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

Pricing and Availability:
"If You Give A Conservative A Cookie" 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category. It is also available as an enhanced eBook on iTunes.

dog walk app for iPhone - dog lovers keep track of each walk - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

grapevine-cottage today announces dogwalk 1.9, an update to their pet diary and walking application for iOS devices. dogwalk provides a unique user experience, with clear colors, essential information and automatic functionality where appropriate. For each walk it shows a unique graph, a miniature of the recorded track, and users quickly learn to identify their tracks visually. Version 1.9 now supports notes and pins, so that each dog owner can keep a rich diary of his activity with his dog.

Durbanville, South Africa - grapevine-cottage is pleased to announce the release of dogwalk 1.9 for iPhone. The app now supports notes and pins, so that each dog owner can keep a rich diary of his activity with his dog. "dogwalk" takes care of everything, from automatic start and stop to sharing with friends and family through email and twitter.

The friendship between a dog and its owner is a very special one - for a lifetime they walk through easy and through difficult terrain, both in life and more literally in the field, each morning and each afternoon. Keeping a record of these walks is like a very special diary that connects the owner and the dog, and everything they "walked" through. The dogwalk app captures every moment of those walks, in summary and in detail, and allows to share them with others.

Grapevine-cottage recently made available version 1.9 of their dogwalk app with an enhanced set of features including taking notes and setting map pins to mark locations. They also confirmed further development efforts to push their app to become the #1 private dog walking app for Apple iPhone.

Right from the start, dogwalk provides a new user experience: Clear colors, essential information, automatic functionality where appropriate. For each walk it shows a unique graph, a miniature of the recorded track, and users quickly learn to identify their tracks visually. The detailed view features the track as a bigger graph on a map, allowing to capture notes and mark positions on the map with pins, and to share the achievement with friends and other dog lovers via email or twitter. Monthly summaries are provided automatically.

Field tests and feedback from users indicates, that the unique way to track and display the regular dog walks animates dog owners to walk more, longer and different tracks, collecting as many new walk miniatures as possible. This is healthy and motivating and fun for the dog and the dog owner.

Dogwalk has as well an optional automatic start feature - once configured correctly, it basically allows the user to forget about the app during the course of the day. Users just take their iPhone with them as always, and the app starts and stops all tracking automatically. This is especially useful to help with a routine task they would have to do otherwise every day, for several years.

OmNom Apps Introduces Anagram Academy - Master the Word Scramble - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based OmNom Apps today introduces Anagram Academy 1.0, the latest addition to their mobile gaming line-up for iOS devices. Anagram Academy is a quick-paced and fun word game that takes word jumble-type games to a whole new level with a massive word list and Game Center integration. Players shuffle and arrange letters to spell out as many words as possible in two minutes. Each word increases a player's score with longer words worth more points.

Los Angeles, California - Today OmNom Apps released the latest addition to their mobile gaming line-up, Anagram Academy. Available now in the iTunes App Store for iPhone(TM), iPod(TM) Touch, and iPad(TM), Anagram Academy is a quick-paced and fun word game that takes word jumble-type games to a whole new level.

Anagram Academy builds off of the previous success of Anagram Twist with an extremely comprehensive SOWPODS word list, four levels of difficulty, and competitive gameplay.

As Co-founder, Tony Ngo, described, "We took everything we learned from Anagram Twist and our users to produce a very comprehensive and manageable game. The final result is great fun for players of all ages that will keep them entertained for hours on end."

Players shuffle and arrange letters to spell out as many words as possible in two minutes. After getting the six-letter word, players are able to move on. One of the many challenges in this game comes from deciding whether to stick with the current puzzle or move onto the next to get a whole new set of tiles.

Each word increases a player's score with longer words worth more points. At the end of two minutes, the game is over and players have the option of posting their score to Game Center. Players are also encouraged to beat their personal record and to challenge their friends.

"With the release of Anagram Academy, the guys at OmNom Apps have created something that I feel people want more and more of-they've made a game that's mentally stimulating, quick to play, and challenging enough that they won't get bored too quickly," says Patrick Tomas.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 12.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Anagram Academy 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. To celebrate the release, OmNom Apps is giving players, who download the application now, the ability to get tokens free-more than enough to beat a few friends with ease.

To Kill an Angry Bird - Ugly Meter Hits # 1

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

Tue May 1, 2012 4:00 am (PDT)



To Kill an Angry Bird - Ugly Meter Hits # 1 - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Dapper Gentlemen today announced that Ugly Meter becomes the first iPhone application to dethrone Angry Birds Space from the #1 spot in the iTunes App Store. Featured on the Howard Stern Show, Jay Leno, Today Show, MSNBC, Fox News, and The New York Post, Ugly Meter 3.12 offers a fun way to determine who is the ugliest of them all. Using the device camera, pictures are analyzed for ugliness. All your friends will want to try and prove that they are not as ugly as you say they are.

Gilbert, Arizona - Ugly Meter, for iPhone and iPad, has dominated all other apps in the iTunes app store and has claimed the #1 spot in the iTunes charts. Former leader Angry Birds Space, which was at the top of the charts since its release, has finally met a worthy challenger and fallen to number 2.

The advanced version, Ugly Meter Pro scans the user's bone structure by measuring over 100 facial points and using the calculations to issue an attractiveness score on a 1-100 scale. It uses published science based on the Golden Ratio to mathematically calculate beauty. In 2012 alone, over 22 million faces have been scanned by the Ugly Meter, which allows users to tweet their scores and post them to Facebook to prove how beautiful or ugly they are.

"We couldn't be happier about Ugly Meter's success. We give credit to the Howard Stern Show for giving us exposure to the national media" says Jo Overline, lead programmer for Dapper Gentlemen. Co-Founder Ryan Allen followed with, "The only thing better than being #1 in iTunes would be having a better Ugly Meter score than I have now. Unfortunately I'll have to be happy with #1."

Several celebrities have been scanned with the Ugly Meter with the following scores:
* Howard Stern - 34/100
* Brad Pitt - 91/100
* Jay Leno - 11/100
* Beyonce Knowles: 92/100
* Mitt Romney: 66/100
* Barack Obama: 74/100
* Oprah Winfrey: 42/100

The Ugly Meter has been featured by Howard Stern, Fox News, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, Today Show, New York Post, Huffington Post, Daily Mail, and Jay Leno.

There is huge potential for developers in the App Store. Fellow developer Bryan Mitchell, who created the game Geared, has had over 17 million downloads and close to $1 million in sales. Though as the app store gets more competitive, it gets increasingly hard to reach staggering numbers like these. However, once in a while a unique product like Ugly Meter comes along and makes a big splash in the market.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, 4G iPod touch
* iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, 3G iPad and iPad Wi-Fi + 4G
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 13.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Ugly Meter 3.12 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington based Juicy Bits today released Halftone 1.9.3, adding support for Dropbox, integration with Camera+, improved Aviary image editing, a custom stamp feature, and more. Named by Apple as one of the best photography apps of 2011, Halftone turns photos into unique, vintage comics that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other services. The free update is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and takes full advantage of the Retina display on the new iPad.

Sammamish, Washington - Juicy Bits today is pleased to announce the release of Halftone 1.9.3 adding support for Dropbox, integration with Camera+, improved Aviary image editing, a custom stamp feature, and more. Named by Apple as one of the best photography apps of 2011, Halftone turns photos into unique, vintage comics that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other services. The free update is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and takes full advantage of the Retina display on the new iPad.

"We've had a lot of requests for additional graphic elements that we call Stamps. Instead of overwhelming the app with hundreds of images, we've added a custom Stamp that can use any image from a user's photo library. This way, users can add any graphic element they'd like, including transparent PNG images," says Mike Swanson, Founder of Juicy Bits. "We can't wait to see what our users create."

The free update also enables Halftone to send photos directly to Dropbox, making it easy to work with images on other devices. For Camera users, Halftone takes advantage of new integration capabilities so that photos can be captured and shared easily with the Camera app.

Halftone 1.9.3 has been updated to support new Aviary image editing features, including the ability to apply advanced effects and adjustments to full-size images.

Halftone turns photos into unique, vintage comics. More than a simple "photo filter" app, Halftone makes it easy to add paper styles, captions, speech balloons, graphic stamps, and fonts (including built-in comic fonts). The final image can be sent via e-mail, uploaded directly to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Dropbox, shared with apps like Instagram, Camera+, and Color Splash, printed, and even sent as a real, physical postcard through the mail.

Pricing and Availability:
Halftone 1.9.3 is $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. The Universal app runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices, and it requires iOS 4.2 or later.

In addition to the completely reformatted wide screen images, this Classic World Tales trilogy includes 190 pages of digital innovations including auto page turning, built-in dictionary, word search, index, bookmark pages, user enabled Read Aloud functionality with high-lighted text, an optional stereo soundtrack, as well as an introduction by authour Jacqueline O Rogers and Moving Tales founder Matthew Talbot-Kelly.

Moving Tales' Classic World Tales are a series of stories of transformation, truth, drama and humor. Featuring gentle universal values, these tales have a magical timeless quality, told with poetic and evocative language.

"In addition to the Trilogy package, we are making the second and third stories in the Classic World Tales series available as individual Ebooks. With the same robust feature set and formatting as the already available Enhanced Ebook version of the first tale 'The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross', 'The Unwanted Guest' and 'This Too Shall Pass' are Enhanced Ebook tales the whole family will enjoy." says Talbot-Kelly.

Inspired by the age-old tale of a man who becomes rich through a dream, 'The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross' describes the journey of a poor pedlar woman who, guided by the shifting line between the real and the unreal, discovers a surprising and wonderful treasure. In 'The Unwanted Guest', a poor old man, down on his luck and living in a tumbledown house, is visited by an unwelcome house guest. The story tells of the old man's attempt to rid himself of his surprising visitor once and for all. 'This Too Shall Pass' tells a poignant tale of universal resonance, about a kind hearted King who has the blues.

In addition to the Enhanced Ebook editions, all three stories are available as trilingual, fully animated and subtly interactive apps via the Appstore.

Moving Tales is committed to creating rich, resonant content for new and emerging technologies by engaging mindfully, creatively, and playfully. We aspire to reflective consumption, working collaboratively in the making of deep media experiences. And we have a great time doing it! Moving Tales titles have aspects of books, animated films, storytelling and interactive media, though the result is greater than the sum of its parts, a digital mashup pointing to a profoundly new media experience.

Mobile Technology Improves Writing Skills Of Lower-Skilled Students

Mobile Technology Improves Writing Skills Of Lower-Skilled Students - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Keeping students' attention is one of the most difficult aspects of teaching. Students want to use mobile technology, and schools should use this to their advantage. Mobile technology has successfully given teachers an exciting digital tool to advance writing skills. Niles Technology writing apps specifically target all students who require structure and discipline as they write. For iPad and iPhone, students are engaged to think critically and then to write with focus on argument development.

Charlottesville, Virginia - Keeping students' attention is one of the most difficult aspects of teaching. Students want to use mobile technology, and schools should use this to their advantage. Mobile technology has successfully given teachers an exciting digital tool to advance writing skills. Niles Technology writing apps specifically target all students who require structure and discipline as they write. For iPad and iPhone, students are engaged to think critically and then to write with focus on argument development.

Understanding the role that mobile technology plays in students' lives is important in knowing how to integrate it into schools. Students feel empty and somewhat naked without their mobile devices. Therefore, when forced to abandon these devices when at school, students feel less than whole; a less than whole student is a less studious one. Niles Technology essay writing apps take advantage of students love of mobile technology to introduce them to structured writing and higher-order thinking skills.

Structured writing is a process that methodically guides students who often get frustrated and lost when writing essays. Step-by-step instructional content keeps the students on track and on point with their ideas. Argument development is slowly introduced with reflexive questions and a deductive thinking process. The motto of Niles Technology Group is "Critical thinking is an important part of writing. Think First. Write Second.", and it is the initial logical thinking part with which most students have difficulty. Niles apps assist students by emphasizing the thinking and organizational process before any actual writing is done.

Parents, teachers and schools are discovering the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month, school volume purchases of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile technology in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents are also catching on because Essay Workstation 2.1 is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. Middle School Writing 1.0 and High School Writing 3.0 are virtually tied as solid No. 2 bestsellers, with both parents and schools purchasing the apps. The Niles app catalog can be seen in the App Store by simply entering "Niles" in the iTunes search.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4.0 Tested)
* 2.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
High School Writing 3.0 is currently $17.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

With its experience in the technology and content required to develop full-featured products for students, Niles Technology Group is a leading app publisher, and the Essay Czar, Achievers Writing Center and Essay Writing Wizard apps have sold successfully worldwide. The key to Niles Technology Group's success is specificity. Each app is specific to the writing task at hand. Michael A.
