Movie Genius for iOS - June Promotion: Find New Movies You'll Love - Published on 06/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

British based Renniksoft announces a promotion on Movie Genius Pro 2.3 for iOS that will see the app's price drop through the end of June. The month-long discount covers in-app upgrades from Movie Genius' free edition and the full version. With an easily searchable film database of tens of thousands of diverse titles, that feature cast information, plot synopsis', and more, the app provides access to an effective mobile movie suggestion guru that makes it easy to find new movies to watch.

Bath, United Kingdom - Renniksoft, an emerging new mobile applications and software developer, is excited today to announce a month-long promotion on Movie Genius and Movie Genius Pro for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. From now until the end of June app shoppers can get Movie Genius Pro - or upgrade to the full version of the app via in-app purchase - for only $1.99! A unique new mobile film suggestion guru, Movie Genius lets users find movies by similar plots and themes, build up their rep in the app by rating movies they've already seen, and finding movies they're sure to love! Normally $4.99, Movie Genius Pro is currently available in the App Store for only $1.99 through the end of June in the Entertainment category. Upgrading free versions of the app is only $1.99 too!

Conventional movie suggestion guides tend to have the same M.O. Users pick an actor or director and are shown a list of titles that either features films by them or films that are most like those. Movie Genius eschews this outdated method, instead letting users show which plots, themes, and genres they tend to enjoy and go from there.

Movie Genius is as expansive as it is social. The app's vast yet easily searchable film database contains tens of thousands of diverse titles, each of which come complete with cast information, plot synopsis', and other useful information. Saving search results is a breeze too, as is sharing compelling new movies with the world at large via email, Twitter, or Facebook! Finding new movies to watch shouldn't be an isolated or frustrating experience, and with the Movie Genius in your corner it won't ever be again! Best of all, this June it won't be hard on your wallet either at only $1.99.

SmartDay Debutes in Top 25 of Mac App Store - Published on 06/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcing the release of SmartDay, an integrated calendar that automatically schedules tasks into the free time in one's day. SmartDay offers a unique approach to productivity by combining projects, tasks, and appointments all in the same view. A free web version connects SmartDay to its iPad companion, SmartPad, and to an upcoming iPhone version, allowing users to stay organized on multiple computers and devices. SmartDay debuted at 23 in the productivity section of the Mac App Store.

Seattle, Washington - Announcing the release of SmartDay, an integrated calendar that automatically schedules tasks into the free time in one's day. SmartDay offers a unique approach to productivity by combining projects, tasks, and appointments all in the same view. A free web version connects SmartDay to its iPad companion, SmartPad, and to an upcoming iPhone version, allowing users to stay organized on multiple computers and devices. SmartDay debuted at 23 in the productivity section of the Mac App Store.

Beauty in Simplicty:
SmartDay was inspired by Steve Jobs' obsession with zen and simple design: it drops down from the top menu bar on your Mac into a minimalist column of focused information, and can dock unobtrusively to either side of the desktop. The design allows you to stay on task while minimizing desktop clutter and maximizing the space available for other critical software applications. A full-featured task and project manager folds out into a second column and features pre-set "smart" filters for increased efficiency and clarity.

Discrete but instantly available:
SmartDay can be pinned to the front of your desktop, or it can drop back then pop-up instantly in the same docking location, so there's no need to go searching across a cluttered desktop to find an appointment or to see what's up next.

Connected:
SmartDay syncs with mySmartDay.com, the company's free Cloud hub and organizer that also connects to their flagship iPad organizer, SmartPad, and to an iPhone version to be released in July. It also syncs both events and reminders directly with iCal, providing connectivity to external calendars such as iCloud, BusyCal, Exchange, Outlook and Google.

"SmartDay is our first Mac app and represents the culmination of four years of successful participation in the iOS app space," says Michael Jardine, Managing Director of Left Coast Logic. "But our plans for revolutionizing productivity are only just beginning. In the very next versions - due later this summer - we will introduce an integrated Notes system with contextual links between all items. In the Fall, we'll add drag-and-drop contact management."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 1.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SmartDay 1.0 is $39.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Productivity category.

Wordflex Touch for iPad Takes the Dictionary to Next Level

Wordflex Touch for iPad Takes the Dictionary to Next Level - Published on 06/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Designed exclusively for the iPad by the London-based company SchematiX, Wordflex Touch Dictionary 1.1 is a revolutionary language resource that turns entries into expansive "word trees" users can freely rearrange, manipulate and explore with touch gestures. Other features include sharing tools, audio pronunciation (in U.S. and U.K. English) and smart bookmarking. This fun, intuitive app incorporates two landmark dictionaries and one legendary thesaurus published by the Oxford University Press.

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, Wordflex Touch Dictionary 1.1 a 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 great price reduction for a limited period 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:
* Requires iPad with 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 - that's the mission at SchematiX. When this London-based firm was launched in 2010, they chose the development of a superior electronic dictionary as a debut project. The arrival of Apple's iPad gave the team the ideal platform for creating a better dictionary experience and 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.
