iBouquiniste for iPad Gives Users Complete Control Of Their Ebooks - Published on 07/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Andrey Snetkov has recently released of iBouquiniste 1.2 for iPad users. This update includes a new table of contents, recognition of italic and bold print, and full support for the iPad's innovative retina display. iBouquiniste 1.2 features an easy to use UI, and clean display that is uncluttered by unnecessary settings and controls. It's currently the only iPad book reader that supports the FB2 book format, and lets users maintain complete control over the display settings of their books.

Krasnoyarsk, Russia - Announcing that Andrey Snetkov, the developer of iBouquiniste, has released the latest update for iPad users. iBouquiniste 1.2 now includes a new table of contents, recognition of italic and bold print, and full support for the iPad's innovative retina display. iBouquiniste 1.2 features an easy to use UI, and clean display that is uncluttered by unnecessary settings and controls. It is currently the only iPad book reader that supports the FB2 book format, while giving users complete control over the display settings of their books.

Readers who like their ebooks to feel more like a traditional book have more control over the appearance of their books than they would have with other reader apps. Users can now change the font face and text, margins, paragraph indentation and even paper type. Rather than the sepia tones offered by most apps, iBouquiniste users can opt for realistic paper pages complete with page numbering.

iBouquiniste 1.2 Features Include:
* Full support for iPad retina display
* Supports notes
* Send books by email
* Unique Author Library (each author on their own bookshelf)
* View most recently opened books in the order you opened them
* Real page numbers
* Adjustable fonts, spacing, margins, book paper and more
* Download books via iTunes or any iPad app supporting file transfer (i.e. Mail or Safari)

While some iPad book readers leave users searching through their library to find the book they want, iBouquiniste 1.2 offers several options to help avid readers find what they're looking for quickly, no matter how many books are in their collection. The standard table of contents lets users scan their entire library to find a book to read. Since that's not always practical for larger collections, the developer has added a Favorites Library and a unique Author's Library to help users narrow their search dramatically.

The Author's Library sorts books by author. Each writer is prominently displayed on their own attractive bookshelf, with all of their works currently in the library. Users can simply peruse the shelves for the author they're looking for and select a book to read.

The Favorites Library is perfect for users who want to finish a book they've started then put down; especially if they can't remember the name of the book or the author. In the Favorites Library users can see the last 12 books they've opened, displayed in the order they were opened. Thanks to iBouquiniste 1.2, users can now share their favorite ebooks with friends and family. Most other reader apps have no provisions for sharing, but iBouquiniste lets readers send books via email.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 5.0 or later
* 4.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
iBouquiniste 1.2 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category. For users who would like to try this app before buying it, a Lite version of iBouquiniste is available for free. It has all of the same features as the paid version, but is supported by on-screen ads. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

A favorite of indie filmmakers, it supports lip-sync, automated lighting via DMX, 3D stereoscopic capture, and camera motion control.

Encinitas, California - DZED Systems today is pleased to announce Dragonframe 3.0.4 for OS X, an update to their stop motion animation software that is currently in use by top studios for feature films, music videos, commercials, and broadcast television series. The powerful software simplifies stop motion animation, motion graphics, and visual effects, with integrated USB control of Nikon and Canon DSLRs. A favorite of indie filmmakers as well as major studios, the application supports lip-sync, automated lighting via DMX, 3D stereoscopic capture, and camera motion control. Previously called Dragon Stop Motion, Dragonframe 3.0.4 offers a comprehensive set of tools for both animators and cinematographers.

New in this release is support for the latest DSLRs from Canon and Nikon:
* Canon EOS 5D Mark III
* Canon EOS 1D X
* Canon EOS 60Da
* Nikon D4
* Nikon D800
* Nikon D800e
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is the updated version of the 5D Mark II, which has been one of the most popular cameras for stop motion animation because of its full frame sensor, live view exposure simulation, and tight integration with Dragonframe software.

Feature Highlights:
* Frame-based timeline with drag and drop frame editing

Dragonframe is the premier frame-grabbing software for stop motion animation and time-lapse photography. Using the live view of supported DSLRs, it provides video assist tools for the animator, and is the central hub for capturing and organizing high-resolution frames from the camera. Dragonframe is an excellent frame-grabber, with tools such as step-to-live, onionskinning, auto-toggling, and drawing (virtual grease pencil). Dragonframe has innovated in the world of stop motion software by pushing the functionality beyond frame grabbing to provide a full assortment of production tools.

In fact, Dragonframe is a complete capture & animation solution that provides five different workspaces, allowing fast and convenient planning, experimentation, analysis, manipulation, and sequence creation:
* Animation tools for video assist, frame-grabbing, and editing

The First Mobile App Wizard Brings Simplicity to DIY App Making Tools - Published on 07/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Current Do-It-Yourself mobile app making tools are either difficult to use or don't offer compelling functionality worthy of a native app. KitApps aims to change that by launching the first mobile app "wizard" offering a fully guided, step-by-step app making process that cuts out any guesswork. KitApps' first app template targets the event industry, giving event planners a quick way to turn their conference guide into a native iPhone and Android app.

Los Angeles, California - There is no shortage of do-it-yourself (DIY) app making tools, but have any of them delivered a truly simple experience that's accessible to novice users and busy small business owners?

KitApps, a Los Angeles based startup, is launching the industry's first mobile app wizard targeting small business owners. Unlike other app making tools that require users to start from scratch or piece together an app using disparate building blocks, KitApps offers a fully guided step-by-step wizard that cuts out any guesswork.

"My sister was opening a cafe and asked me if it would make sense to build a mobile app," says KitApps co-founder Michael Balyasny. "Hiring a developer would be too expensive, so I started researching DIY app making tools. All the products I found were either too hard to use, or didn't have interesting functionality that would make a mobile app worthwhile. As a small business you don't have a lot of time to invest in making an app, the process has to be simple and the value obvious."

KitApps is the first mobile app making product built like a wizard: users follow a pre-defined, step-by-step process that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. At each step users are prompted for information about their business, and that content is then integrated into features that are tailored to their industry. Apps made using KitApps feature the client's brand prominently, but are consistent in their design for the benefit of end-users.

KitApps' first app template targets the event industry, giving planners a quick way to turn their event guide into an iPhone and Android app. Event planners can create an iPhone and Android app with a schedule, speaker and sponsor profiles, twitter feed, maps and more. Apps cost for $249/year, a price that includes unlimited downloads and content updates for those unexpected schedule changes.

KitApps has already been used to build dozens of event apps, and the company recently partnered with UFI, the Global Association for the Exhibition Industry, one of the largest trade associations in the world to build apps for their member events. The company plans to launch other templates in the coming months, including solutions for Restaurants, eCommerce, Education, Real Estate and other industry verticals.

KitApps was founded by Michael Balyasny and Artyom Yaremchuk two friends living on opposite sides of the globe - Michael in the Los Angeles and Artyom in Kiev, Ukraine. "Michael and I had experience working together on smaller projects, we get along really well, so it felt right to work on something more substantial despite the distance between us," says Artyom. The majority of the team is in Ukraine, while Michael runs product management from the US.

Virginia based CFI Tools announced Takeoff Landing Distance 1.16, the latest upgrade to its popular aviation app for iOS devices. A component in 5 CFI Tools aviation apps, the T&L App allows pilots to easily calculate takeoff and landing distances for their airplane based on the current conditions for the flight. The addition of the Grumman AA-5B Tiger, Cessna Skyhawk 172-M and Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III brings to 25 the number of aviation aircraft now supported by the T&L App.

Herndon, Virginia - CFI Tools announced today the latest upgrade to the Takeoff & Landing App. The T&L App allows pilots to easily calculate takeoff and landing distances for their airplane based on the current conditions for the flight. This App is a component in 5 CFI Tools aviation Apps: iPad Preflight WX+ App, iPad/iPhone T&L App and Toolbox App, Android T&L App and Toolbox App and the Windows WxCheck App.

With this information it makes a useful training device for pilots who must make these calculations.

"We are very happy to continue the expansion of the T&L App, now available on iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android devices and Windows," said CFI Tools founder Brian Best. "The T&L App has become the world class standard. These new models are now in the App due to popular demand from pilots who have seen the App in action with the original models. We hope to continue this expansion with more widely used GA aircraft".
