Interactive Digital Book on Dock Ellis Covers All The Bases - Published on 06/11/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alexander/Swift announces iBook Beyond Ellis D, their iBook for iOS. Three new animated short films voiced by Dock Ellis form the anchor of author Donnell Alexander's interactive look behind the myth of the LSD no-no. The Pittsburgh Pirates legend pitched astride the fault line of free agency, bringing the psychedelic experience to the civil rights movement and old-school baseball to the '70s.

San Francisco, California - The iBook Beyond Ellis D (Alexander/Swift; June, 2012) takes on colorful pitching sensation Dock Ellis in the futuristic frontier of multi-platform tablet reading. Ellis moved from Major League Baseball stardom to drug counseling to - following his death in 2008 - viral video fame, and writer Donnell Alexander's analysis of this athlete that the system could not contain hits with a wallop that's beyond even LSD.

Beyond Ellis D seeks to illuminate the often overlooked aspects of Dock's life that - for better or for worse - is most remembered for the no-hitter he pitched while under the influence of acid. Alexander's 2008 interview (with Neille Ilel) helped separate from myth from fact in this astonishing performance. Last week National Public Radio's Unfictional aired a half-hour special called The Ballad of Dock Ellis", featuring Alexander's voice and research and opening the doors of public perception that can't help but lead followers of this unpreditable story to Beyond Ellis D. Far more than - to quote Alexander - "the John Henry of Hallucinogens" , the Los Angeles native is revealed to have been an activist in jock's clothing. His exploits and influence extended past accidental drug accomplishments; Ellis used his celebrity to challenge and educate society on many levels.

Alexander/Swift's digital creation takes full advantage of the iBook platform by incorporating an animated video trilogy, the first of which debuted in May on Gawker Media's Deadspin site to much acclaim and web traffic. Among other treats, Beyond Ellis D features the music of Los Angeles band Rademacher and an insightful audio interview with acclaimed singer-songwriter Barbara Manning, whose song "Dock Ellis" with S.F. Seals is the stuff of American post-punk legend.

Beyond Ellis D becomes available for download on June 4. A launch party in San Francisco will follow.

Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad iOS 5.0 or later
* iBooks 2

Pricing and Availability:
Beyond Ellis D is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Baseball category.

6.: Brush of Truth: Book App for Reluctant Readers Discounted for Summer

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

Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:30 am (PDT)

Brush of Truth: Book App for Reluctant Readers Discounted for Summer - Published on 06/11/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brush of Truth 1.1 for iOS, a recommended book app for reluctant readers 8-12, is cutting its price on June 15, 2012 to promote summer reading. The 50 percent discount will be available in the iTunes store for the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone. Written in second person, Brush of Truth lets the user choose how the action unfolds at critical points in the plot. Brush of Truth has 125 pages of story and colorful illustrations, with 65 decision points and 20 possible endings.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Brush of Truth 1.1, a recommended book app for reluctant readers 8-12, is cutting its price to 99 cents on June 15 to promote summer reading. The 50 percent discount will be available in the iTunes store for the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone. Brush of Truth was released by Story Bayou.

The app has been named a "Recommended iPad Book App for Older and Reluctant Readers Ages 8-12" by Digital Storytime, and one of "6 Interactive Book Apps to Get Kids Excited About Reading" by Tecca. The iGameMom calls Brush of Truth "an effective tool in engaging reluctant readers." Brush of Truth, geared to third- through sixth-graders, is the first book app created by Story Bayou, a mom's vision to get tweens to read.

"Reading during the summer helps prevent the problem of summer academic loss, also known as 'summer slide,'" said Julie Landry Laviolette, author of Brush of Truth. "A book app is a great way for kids to read on-the-go, because they can access their reading material on a smartphone or other touchscreen. With a book app, kids and moms can always have reading material with them."

Written in second person, "your" voice, Brush of Truth lets the user choose how the action unfolds at critical points in the plot. Brush of Truth has 125 pages of story and colorful illustrations, with 65 decision points and 20 possible endings.

The app is regularly $1.99 and available on the iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, Kindle Fire, as well as Android and Windows 7 smartphones and tablets.

Laviolette, a parenting journalist and mom of a 10- and 11-year-old, wrote Brush of Truth and created its parent company, Story Bayou.

Brush of Truth tells the story of two tweens who find an enchanted paintbrush. They begin to discover its powers as they go in adventures under the ocean, inside a sand castle, and while rescuing a sea creature.

"Studies show that "summer slide," when a child regresses academically outside of school, is more serious than we realize, because students who start school behind struggle to catch up throughout their education," Laviolette said. "Research shows that kids who start school behind will likely stay behind, and that children who cannot read at grade level by fourth grade will likely face an on ongoing struggle to learn."

Laviolette, a New Orleans native, is a former columnist and editor for The Times-Picayune. She currently lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fl., where she contributes to The Miami Herald, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, South Florida Parenting and more than 30 regional parenting publications in the U.S. and Canada.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 2.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Brush of Truth 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

Story Bayou was founded in 2011 by a mom to create interactive book apps for kids 8-12. The company partnered with Linxter, Inc., a Cooper City, Fl., software engineering firm, to develop apps.

The developer has also added an online store that offers high quality wakeboards and other gear, but there's an exciting twist in the app. As users accumulate Shakas on their uploaded videos, users accrue Store Rider Rewards. These rewards can be redeemed in the e-store for discounts on state of the art wakeboards and accessories.

A YouTube account is required to host uploaded videos. The app also links to the user's Youtube account and supports Facebook Connect and Twitter Connect.

13.: Marble Math: New and Noteworthy Educational App Rolls Into App Store

Marble Math: New and Noteworthy Educational App Rolls Into App Store - Published on 06/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Artgig Apps today introduces Marble Math 1.0 for iOS, its new math practice app for kids. Designed specifically for middle to upper elementary ages 9-12 and higher, Marble Math blends problem solving, strategy, core math concepts, and good plain fun. Solve a variety of math problems by collecting numbers as you roll or drag your marble through a series of mazes. Young mathematicians avoid obstacles and collect bonuses while working through the problems and achieving high scores.

Pleasantville, New York - Artgig Apps today is pleased to announce the release of Marble Math, a new math practice app for kids that blends problem solving, strategy, core math concepts, and good plain fun. Featured as New and Noteworthy in the App Store, Marble Math is designed for middle to upper elementary ages 9-12+.

The object of the game is to solve a variety of math problems by collecting numbers as you roll or drag your marble through a series of mazes. Young mathematicians will be excited to earn new marbles as they avoid obstacles and collect bonuses while working through the problems and achieving high scores. There is no time limit - children can work at their own pace, and if they get an answer wrong, they have the opportunity to see the correct solution and then try again.

Marble Math adheres closely to math concepts children are already learning in the classroom. The skills are divided into three levels: easy, medium and hard, so learners can select the level that best suits them. Teachers and parents can further customize problem types within each level to target specific learning areas.

"We had a lot of fun making Marble Math and I think it shows. It's got a bit of a classic pinball feel with a funhouse twist. Kids love the idea of dodging a boxing glove or solving math in the dark with only a flashlight to guide you." says Matthew Kicinski, President of Artgig Apps. "And if the obstacles are too distracting, you can always turn them off to focus solely on the problems. Marble Math is extremely flexible, providing a number of options to ensure a good fit between the learner and the experience."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Marble Math 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Marble Math Junior for younger kids, is slated to launch later this week.

Retwallpaper 1.2 - Retina Wallpapers for the New iPad and iPhone 4/4S - Published on 06/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Anub Apps today announces Retwallpaper 1.2 for iOS, an update to their background screen app, which allows users to choose from among 25 different categories of HD-quality, Retina-compatible wallpapers for their home screen and lock/unlock screen. Compatible with most iDevices, Retwallpaper supports the high-resolution Retina displays of the newest iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Owners of the new iPad will be astonished by photos displayed at 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch.

Moscow, Russian Federation - Anub Apps today is pleased to announce Retwallpaper 1.2 for iOS, an update to their background screen app, which allows users to choose from among 25 different categories of HD-quality, Retina-compatible wallpapers for their home screen and lock/unlock screen. Compatible with most iDevices, Retwallpaper (Retina-Wallpaper) supports the high-resolution Retina displays of the newest iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Owners of the new iPad imparticular will be astonished at the remarkable quality of HD photos displayed at 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch. Also supported are the 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 pixels per inch Retina displays of the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPod touch 4th generation.

According to Apple, the Retina display on the New iPad represents a true breakthrough. "Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on the new iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44 percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels - in the same 9.7-inch space. That's four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can't discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can't see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before."

Feature Highlights:
* All HD-quality, Retina-size wallpapers: 2048x2048 for iPad, 640x960 for iPhone and iPod touch
* Thematic categories, wallpapers top, personal favorites folder
* Instant preview (both lock and home screens) with one touch
* Regular content updates with eye-candy, crystal clear images

Of all the means by which users customize the look and feel of their mobile devices, such as ringtones, icons, and cases, wallpapers are perhaps the most popular. Just as owners of personal computers have long embraced personalized desktops, so owners of mobile devices have done the same. With Retwallpaper the personalized home screen reaches a new plateau of display resolution, beauty, and individual expression. The convenient app also works with non-Retina displays of 480-by-320-pixel resolution (iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen) and 1024-by-768-pixel resolution (iPad 1 and 2).

Retwallpaper employs a user-friendly interface that allows users to browse through pages of wallpaper graphics arranged as thumbnails, 20 per page. Constantly updated and expanded, the app downloads both thumbnails and full-screen photos on demand within seconds. Photographs, 3D computer graphics, and art are all of the highest quality, both technically and aesthetically. And the app offers wallpaper in 25 different categories, including: 3D, Abstract, Animals, Anime, Art, Brands, Cars, Cyberpunk, Electronics, Fantasy, Food, Games, Girls, HDR (high dynamic range image), Historic, Humor, Interior, Military, Movies, Nature, Patterns, Space, Stars, Steampunk, and World.

Touching any thumbnail downloads and displays the full-scale image, which is stored in cache memory for instant review. Users can also save full screen images to their iOS Photo Library or mark images as Like or Favorite. The Home Screen button in the bottom tab bar allows users to see what the wallpaper would actually look like as the background image on their home screen, complete with their app icons on top. Similarly, the Lock Screen button lets users test an image for their customized lock/unlock screen.

"Challenge the Retina display on your New iPad with Retwallpaper's professional photo and graphic wallpapers," commented Sergei Pelevin of Anub Apps. "Then personalize your home and lock screens with the images you prefer, rather than those that Apple supplies."

16.: Alakazam 2.0 Free for iOS-Budget Flight Search for Spontaneous Trave

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

Alakazam 2.0 Free for iOS-Budget Flight Search for Spontaneous Travelers - Published on 06/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Jonny Miller today announces Alakazam 2.0 free for iOS, his travel app that allows spontaneous travelers to find budget flights from any location in the world. After entering current location, departure date, and maximum budget, the app displays a map view with darts marking all the destinations available. Touching any dart for prices and flights, the app enables travel adventures, where travelers leave the next day with a one-way ticket to any destination within their budget.

Boston, Massachusetts - Indie developer Jonny Miller today is pleased to announce Alakazam 2.0 free for iOS, his travel app that allows spontaneous travelers to find budget flights from any location in the world. After entering current location, departure date, and maximum budget, the app displays a map view with darts marking all the destinations available. Touching any dart for prices and flights, the app enables travel adventures, where travelers leave the next day with a one-way ticket to any destination within their budget. Once users resolve to go, the app allows them to email all the flight details to themselves so they can book their flight later. Built-in Facebook connectivity lets world travelers immediately post their itineraries for the benefit of admiring friends and family.

Feature Highlights:
* Search engine for spontaneous air travel on a budget
* Choose a starting country and a budget for a one-way ticket - Alakazam does the rest
* View possible destinations in list, map, or screen flow view
* Shake the iDevice to see the next destination that meets your criteria
* Take advantage of last-minute, bargain airfares

"Have you ever felt like spinning a globe and catching a flight to the first place your finger lands on?" asked Jonny Miller. "Alakazam is the world�s first flight search app designed for spontaneous, spur of the moment travelers!"

Alakazam launches in portrait mode, and it poses the provocative question on the pulled down shade of an airplane passenger window, Where Would You Like to Wake Up Tomorrow? Sliding up the Where Would You window shade, the app asks the user for three important pieces of information: Where Are You? (select from a list of more than 150 countries), When Would You Like to Leave? (today, tomorrow, in 2 days, in 3 days, in 4 days, this month, next month, or search all), and Flight Budget? (a slider control from $2 USD to infinite, with $400 at the mid-point). Depending upon their current location, users may set the app to display fares in any of 12 different major currencies.

Shaking the iDevice causes the shade to click shut, reopen, and let the user view the passing terrain below, while the app searches. In a few moments, the shade shutters closed and open to reveal a World View Google Map, and a red dart marking the app's first suggested destination with price. At this point, users have four choices of how to proceed: 1) tap the dart to bring up a list of all possible airports with departing flights with prices and then tap the airport for full airline, departure, and arrival information; 2) shake the iDevice to see the next dart; 3) touch the Dart button in the top tab to display every possible destination and then expand the map to browse and select one dart; or 4) touch the Flow display to view photos of all possible destinations in landscape orientation.

Featuring retro styling and the outstanding Skyscanner travel search engine, Alakazam is the ideal travel app for those who find themselves with a free weekend and a bit of spare cash. The aim is to recreate the magical feeling of unlimited possibilities by allowing intrepid individuals to explore all the destinations within their budget.

"Alakazam has been a labor of love, whose financing was successfully crowdsourced," commented Jonny Miller. "Life is an adventure, and this app can help remind you."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Alakazam 2.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Travel category.

Alakazam was designed by indie developer Jonny Miller, who is based in London. The app itself was made possible through a crowdfunding project, which raised 1,000 pounds and paid for its development. It is purely a passion project and not designed to make any money... The idea was inspired when Jonny was backpacking in Asia and thought it would be fun to walk into an airport and buy a flight to the first place that appeared on the departure board.

"The Outback represents one of our new styles," explained Gary Waterfield, company founder. "It has a masculine look and a patina that changes over time to give every bag a unique character. Its muted waxed-canvas color and distressed leather make the Outback sophisticated enough for work, and functional enough for play."

The Outback Tote comes in two sizes - the medium Outback Daily for commuters, and the larger Outback Weekender for travelers. The sturdy canvas can hold heavy items and the leather strap length allows users to carry it by the handles or over the shoulder. A large, interior, zippered pocket keeps passports, wallets, keys, and other essentials out of sight. The facing side includes a pocket sized to hold an iPad (and in the Weekender, one additional pocket for more items). The tote can be zippered shut or kept open to haul oversized items.

The Outback Laptop Sleeve provides the same excellent protection as the WaterField SleeveCase line. Shock-absorbing neoprene and a waxed canvas shell combine for a custom-fit for any Apple laptop, including the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. The Sleeve can be used alone or stashed into the Outback Tote, the Muzetto Outback, or any other WaterField bag.

Outback Tote:
* Brown, waxed-canvas body that develops its own character with use
* Distressed, vegetable-tanned, leather accents in choice of two colors: Chocolate or Grizzly
* Two handles long enough to wear over a shoulder and short enough to hold like a briefcase
* Discrete zippered top closure
* Interior iPad-sized pocket
* Interior self-locking, zippered pocket with organizational sections
* Gold rip-stop nylon interior lights up contents of bag
* Two sizes - the medium Outback Daily and the large Outback Weekender

20.: Wordflex Touch for iPad takes The Dictionary to Next Level

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

Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:30 am (PDT)

Wordflex Touch for iPad takes The Dictionary to Next Level - Published on 06/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Designed exclusively for iPad by London-based company SchematiX, Wordflex Touch Dictionary 1.1 is a revolutionary language resource that turns entries into "word trees". Entries can be effortlessly rearranged, manipulated and explored with touch gestures. Other features include sharing, audio pronunciation and smart bookmarking. This fun, intuitive app incorporates three landmark Oxford University Press titles. Its price is now greatly reduced as part of the App Store's back-to-school campaign.

London, United Kingdom - "Caution," warned The MacTrack in its review of the Wordflex Touch Dictionary, "if you're a word geek, it's easy to spend hours."

Designed exclusively for the iPad by the London-based company SchematiX, this revolutionary language resource - formerly known as the Twig Touch Dictionary, and now upgraded to version 1.1 - turns entries into expansive "word trees" that users can freely rearrange, manipulate and explore with touch gestures, shrinking and expanding information to maximize the screen's workspace. With a single tap they can open tree nodes and "badges" containing definitions, origin data, detailed notes and more, or hear audio pronunciations (in both U.S. and U.K. English). Double-tapping enables the selection of any content and allows context-sensitive functions like bookmarking, expanding into a new tree or clipboard copying.

The semantically detailed word trees include synonyms and antonyms, adding a thesaurus function to the dictionary interface. Wordflex users can also create "word posters" of the entries for sharing on Facebook and Twitter or via e-mail or hard-copy print-outs.

Users can even introduce an element of chance to their learning with the random function, which simulates "flying through" language; words float on the screen like stars, waiting to be explored.

The Wordflex Touch Dictionary combines a physics-based mind-mapping engine with nearly 1GB of linguistic content from three Oxford University Press titles: The Oxford Dictionary of English (the foremost single-volume authority on the English language, with 355,000 words, phrases and definitions); The New Oxford American Dictionary (Oxford's flagship dictionary of U.S. English); and The Oxford Thesaurus of English (the gold standard of comprehensive synonym and antonym resources). These titles are powered by Oxford's extensive language-research program, including the Oxford English Corpus, which contains over 2 billion words of real 21st Century English.

"This is one of those 'wow' apps," enthused AppAdvice reviewer Karen Freeman, while Nate Adcock of iPhoneLife declared Wordflex "truly an app worthy of iPad ... stunning." DailyAppShow, meanwhile, dubbed it "A dictionary built for the creative mind." In addition to critical raves, the versatile dictionary has garnered a nearly unheard-of average feedback score of 4.85 (out of 5) among App Store users worldwide and ranked as the #1 educational title in dozens of countries. It was also featured in Apple's "New & Noteworthy" and "What's Hot" sections and ranked as iPad App of the Week in 66 countries.

Version 1.1 of the app adds Retina HD graphics; support of iOS 5.1 features like voice-activated search; expansion of end nodes (jumping to a new word tree directly from an existing one, a capability requested by many users); improved handling of history items; better tree logic, performance and animation; increased maximum word-poster sizes; a context menu for double-tapped words, with options to expand, bookmark or copy to clipboard; the ability to return to the prior tree without opening the history tab; and the fixing of all previously reported bugs and inconsistencies.

Such enhancements will no doubt make the app's target audience - students, teachers, writers, communicators, Scrabble aficionados and everyone else seeking just the right word - even more determined to have the Wordflex Touch Dictionary in their hands.

And with a massive price reduction - thanks to its inclusion in the App Store's back-to-school campaign - Wordflex Touch Dictionary is now helping to redefine "value."

SchematiX is currently developing the functionality to bring Spanish, French, German, Russian and other languages into the Wordflex Touch Dictionary, to be smartly linked into and displayed alongside English word trees. After all, the joy of manipulating language with one's fingers is universal.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 771 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wordflex Touch Dictionary 1.1 is $11.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Innovation and technology to improve everyday life is the mission at SchematiX. When this London-based company was formed in 2010, they chose the development of a superior electronic dictionary as their debut project and the arrival of Apple's iPad gave the team the ideal platform for creating a better dictionary experience. More than 18 intense months later, they gave collective birth to the Wordflex Touch Dictionary. The impressive international sales, critical raves and unprecedented user approval ratings it has earned demonstrate that the company is already making good on its mission statement.

23.: Apps for Children with Special Needs is giving away 40 iPads

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

Apps for Children with Special Needs is giving away 40 iPads - Published on 06/12/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A4cwsn has already helped to provide over 140 iPads to Children with Special Needs, Teachers and Therapists around the world. Their new campaign aims to give 40 iPads away over 40 Days. 10 iPads for Children with Special Needs, 10 iPads for Teachers, 10 iPads for Therapists and 10 iPads to the general public. To be eligible for one of the 40 iPads being given away all you have to do is sign up for the email from Apps for Children with Special Needs, that will go out once a week.

Oxford, Connecticut - The Apps for Children with Special Needs website (A4cwsn) helps parents and professionals view apps on video before you purchase them. Every App that appears on the site (over 500) is put on video and demonstrated by site owner Gary James. The video demonstrations can help you save time and money, some apps cost upwards of $200 and being able to watch a very detailed video with no bias prior to purchasing the App is extremely important.

Over the past year over 140 iPads and thousands of Apps have been provided to those who need them. Now we are starting a new campaign to give another 40 iPads away.

Just last year James drove through each State and handed an iPad into the hands of a child with special needs. That was the trip of a lifetime for sure and although I would love to do it again, this time we will mail all iPads out directly, said James.

To be eligible for one of the 40 iPads being given away all you have to do is sign up for the email from Apps for Children with Special Needs, that will go out once a week providing an update on the Campaign. We are not only doing this to provide iPads, but want to help developers that support us and Children with Special Needs, get the recognition they deserve.

We anticipate the campaign to last 3-4 months with everyone having an iPad delivered by November.

Apps for Children with Special Needs recently applied for a 501(c) 3 Status for it's Non Profit "Very Special People". Once the Charity is fully functional we intend to make this much bigger and more frequent, helping people not only with technology but also with the tools and equipment they need to improve their daily life.

Interested participants can sign up for the e-mail list. The next email goes out this Friday, June 15th. We are also running a promotion right now to give away 50 x $10 iTunes cards for people to get Apps they may need.

A4cwsn: http://a4cwsn.com
iTunes Gift Card Giveaway: http://a4cwsn.com/rafflecopters/
Sign up for the Email: http://eepurl.com/hZ2-6

a4cwsn is committed to helping the families and careers of children with special needs and the wider community of educators and therapists who support them, by producing videos that demonstrate how products designed to educate children and build their life skills really work from a user perspective. Our aim is that these videos, along with relevant information and advice from an independent source you can trust, provides valuable insight into whether a product is suitable for its intended purpose or not, enabling sensible buying decisions to be made. We hope this site and its content provides a valuable resource to the community that serves our precious children with special needs. Copyright (C) 2012 a4cwsn. All Rights Reserved.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender has announced iCarbs - iNutrients: Carbohydrates 3.0.1 for iOS, new version to his Health & Fitness app that lists the carbohydrate content of more than 1,100 different foods. Broken down into seven Categories or as a complete, alphabetical list with search function, users can lookup and record their daily intake of carbs. Each listing includes nine pertinent facts about the food, and this 3.0 update allows users to create custom serving sizes for any item.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender has announced iCarbs - iNutrients: Carbohydrates 3.0 for iOS, a new version of his Health & Fitness app that lists the carbohydrate content of more than 1,100 different foods. Broken down into seven Categories or as a complete, alphabetical list with search function, users can lookup and record their daily intake of carbs. Each listing includes nine pertinent facts about the food, and this 3.0 update allows users to create custom serving sizes for any item. The app is invaluable for dieters, diabetics, bodybuilders, and those with a need to monitor their intake of carbohydrates.

The app offers three different kinds of lookup: Search, Alphabetical, or Category. Users can enter any search term to query the database's 1,100 entries (some entries have multiple names). Alphabetical searches of the complete list is simplified through a thumb index, which opens any letter of the alphabet immediately. Finally, users can search alphabetically through any of seven category listings: Fast Foods; Fruits & Vegetables; Meat, Fish & Shellfish; Dairy & Eggs; Cereal Grains & Pasta; Sweets; and Snacks. The database is truly encyclopedic. For example, looking up "Milk" brings up more than 35 different listings.

Feature Highlights:
* Lookup, customize, and record daily carbohydrate intake
* Comprehensive database of foods based on the USDA National Nutrient Database
* Lookup by Search, Category, or Alphabetical
* More than 1,100 foods listed
* Includes listings for Fast Foods

Having located the item sought, touching the listing opens a full page, including a photo of the food (some items), plus nine different entries. For example, touching the listing "Reduced Fat Milk," brings up a photo and the following nine entries: Full Name: Reduced Fat Milk, 2% Milk Fat; Weight: 244 grams; Common Measure: 1 cup; Carbohydrate Content: 11.71 grams (moderate-Code Yellow); Calories: 122; Description: Milk, reduced fat, fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D; Food Group: Dairy and Egg Products; and USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference: NDB ID: 01079.

Color-Coded Entries (Cooler the color, the lower the amount of Carbohydrates):
* Black = Rated Extremely High in Carbohydrates (45.01 - 166.46 g)
* Dark Red = Rated Very High in Carbs (30.01 - 45.00 g)
* Red = Rated High in Carbs (15.01 - 30.0 g)
* Orange = Rated Moderately High in Carbs (12.01 - 15.00 g)
* Yellow = Rated Moderate in Carbs (9.01 - 12.00 g)
* Yellow-Green = Rated Moderately Low in Carbs (6.01 - 9.00 g)
* Green = Rated Low in Carbs (3.01 - 6.00 g)
* Cyan = Rated Very Low in Carbs (0.01 - 3.00 g)
* White = Rated Extremely Low in Carbs (0.00 g)

Touching the Record button on the top right to add an item to the user's daily food intake, the carb-watcher can specify a serving size between .1 and 9.9 times the standard serving of 244 grams. New in version 3.0 of iCarbs is the ability to create custom serving sizes between 1 and 500 grams in 0.1 gram increments. Users can easily dial in the exact serving size using a slider and buttons for extra fine control of their selection. With the serving size adjusted, users just touch the Record button in the top right to have the revised entry added to their daily intake.

Records of servings are kept for a full year before being automatically deleted from the database. Recorded servings can be edited to change the date or number of servings. They can also be deleted if necessary.

In addition to helping users limit their daily carbohydrate consumption, the app includes five comprehensive articles to help the user get the most from the app: What Are Carbohydrates?, Carbohydrates & Diabetes, How to Use This App, Highest Protein Foods, and About this App. iCarbs - iNutrients: Carbohydrates is the second in a series of eight iNutrient apps, all based on the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

The other seven apps are:
* iCals - iNutrients: Calories
* iCholesterol - iNutrients: Dietary Cholesterol
* iFiber - iNutrients: Fiber
* iProteins - iNutrients: Proteins
* iSatFat - iNutrients: Saturated Fat
* iSugars - iNutrients: Sugars
* Vitamin K - iNutrients: Vitamins K1, K1D and K2

At opposite ends of the spectrum, for bodybuilders, those looking to put on some serious muscle mass, iCarbs can help them revamp their diet to see the best results; for diabetics, needing to monitor blood glucose and insulin, iCarbs will help restrict their carbohydrate intake, which will lead to a long and healthy life.

"Now a Universal App, iCarbs - iNutrients: Carbohydrates 3.0 is the most comprehensive, authoritative, and convenient iOS app available for keeping a record of daily carbohydrate consumption," stated Indie developer James Hollender. "And now users can create serving sizes for any of the 1,100 listings to suit their needs."

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
* 6.5 MB
