In-App purchases of toolboxes can expand iLuaBox depth and functionality so users can invest only in those features critical to their needs.

Orchard Park, New York - MobileApp Systems, a developer of mobile software and hardware solutions for demanding applications, is proud to announce the upcoming availability of iLuaBox, iLuaBox Pro and iLuaBox Lite version 1.5.3, a Lua script development app running on all Apple devices compatible with iOS 4.3 or later.

Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It has been used in many industrial applications, with an emphasis on embedded systems and games. iLuaBox is a full- featured implementation of the Lua 5.2 programming language that's been optimized for iOS.

"iLuaBox lets you create, edit, debug and run Lua scripts right on your iOS device," says Tom Skwara, company President. "In-App purchases of toolboxes that expand iLuaBox depth and functionality gives our users the choice to invest only in those features critical to their needs." The Pro version includes all the optional toolboxes from the standard edition at a reduced bundled price. The Lite version is practically free at $0.99 and includes all the features from iLuaBox standard edition except for In-App purchasing and unlimited script length.

This next installment of iLuaBox brings updates to the core Lua engine and SQL Toolbox, and is fully compatible with iOS 4.3 through 5.1.1. iLuaBox always utilizes the very latest Lua technology, which is currently version 5.2.1 released in June 2012. iLuaBox has been available on the App Store for almost two years, bringing an unequaled level of stability and performance to Lua enthusiasts seeking a mobile development solution.

iLuaBox 1.5.3 also includes peer-to-peer messaging, where users create and manage an ad- hoc Bluetooth or local wireless network for exchanging information with other iLuaBox users. An included chat example shows just how easy it is to setup a collaborative note taking session with colleagues nearby. Peer-to-peer messaging is included in all versions of iLuaBox. Real-time data telemetry between many of our other apps will be possible in future releases.

Specialized Toolboxes:
The iLua Toolbox, which is built-in to all versions of iLuaBox, adds several utility functions for controlling iLuaBox core behavior such as screen mode, printing to the input screen, peer-to- peer messaging, managing the device file directory, and more.

The Socket Toolbox, which is built-in to iLuaBox Pro and is an optional In App purchase within iLuaBox standard edition, adds a set of functions to iLuaBox that support SMTP (sending e- mail), HTTP (WWW access) and FTP (file upload and download) protocols, along with other commonly needed Internet functionality.

The SQL Toolbox, which is built-in to iLuaBox Pro and is an optional In App purchase within iLuaBox standard edition, adds a set of functions to iLuaBox for creating, editing and managing databases using the Structured Query Language and the latest SQLite database engine.

The Vox Toolbox, which is built-in to iLuaBox Pro and is an optional In App purchase within iLuaBox standard edition, adds a set of functions to iLuaBox for synthesizing and playing back speech from text input. Multiple voices can be defined with individual characteristics, and played simultaneously with position and volume control.

iLuaBox features side-by-side text views that provide a simple yet powerful text user interface. Scripts can be edited and tested right on the iOS device. iLuaBox includes solid reference manuals and many examples to get started quickly. A lively support forum, Lua wiki, and access to Twitter are built-in to iLuaBox's user interface for convenient and seamless access to the growing community of iLuaBox users.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MobileApp Systems today introduces ChopperLift 1.0, its new kind of helicopter game for iOS devices. Use newly developed on-screen control knob technology to pilot your chopper through Solar City. Look for items and hoist them up to use, or complete the mission instructions for rewards. The physics-driven controls are fluid, intuitive, and precise.

ChopperLift delivers hours of fun on the iPhone, iPod, and iPad.

The ozone layer no longer protects the earth from the sun's harmful rays. The mayor of Solar City already banned most gas powered vehicles. A helicopter and truck remains to carry people around and make deliveries. Who knows how long the ban will last...

Look for items and hoist them up to use, or complete the mission instructions for rewards. Remember to gas up and use the autopilot. Explore Solar City and sharpen your skills. Spend some time building a bridge or tower in the construction yard.

No one loses in ChopperLift! But having the highest score can be fun too. Landing on the Finish Tower doubles your score and ends the game. Make it back before running out of choppers and gas.

Use newly developed on-screen control knob technology to pilot your chopper through Solar City. The physics-driven controls are fluid, intuitive, and precise. Game action is controlled using knobs that are color-coordinated with objects inside the game.

Experience ChopperLift's unique and attractive vector graphics style, highlighted in precision colors from the popular Solarized color scheme. This scientific color palette is designed with precise lightness relationships and a refined set of hues based on fixed color wheel relationships.

ChopperLift is built on the recently released Cocos2D v2.0 framework and utilizes the Box2D physics engine for super-realistic game action. This cutting-edge technology stack helps ChopperLift push the limits of Apple's latest hardware. From retina-optimized graphics to an eclectic soundtrack, ChopperLift is truly an immersive experience.

Features:
* Tantalizing graphics optimized for retina display
* Scientifically-based Solarized color scheme
* Precision physics-driven control knob technology
* Realistic movement and reactions
* Eclectic music and sound effects
* Choppers, trains, planes, and blimps - what's not to like
* Fly the chopper, and control the hoist, claw, and truck

"While we are not in the business of making games, some of the technology we use can be found in the latest time vampires!" says Tom Skwara, company president. "ChopperLift is a neat little diversion we used to test various UI, physics and framework technologies. Game technologies are complex and powerful, and as we adopt them for more professional applications, we may publish an interesting game or two along the way. Games by geeks for for geeks, I guess..."

Device Requirements:

TransitTimes+ Adds Real-Time Vehicle Tracking and Trip Planning to App - Published on 08/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zervaas Enterprises announced today it added live vehicle tracking, trip planning, and official service alerts to its newly updated TransitTimes+ app for iPhone, iPad and Android, allowing commuters to quickly see when the next bus or train is arriving in real time and revolutionizing public transportation by making trip planning data easily accessible. The app now features transit schedules for over 50 cities, including 14 cities with vehicle positions and predictions updated in real time.

Adelaide, Australia - Zervaas Enterprises announced today it added live vehicle tracking, trip planning, and official service alerts to its newly updated TransitTimes+ app for iPhone, iPad and Android, allowing commuters and travelers to quickly see when the next bus or train is arriving in real time and revolutionizing public transportation by making valuable trip planning data more easily accessible to riders.

The app now features transit schedules for over 50 cities, including 14 cities with vehicle positions and predictions that are continuously updated in real time.

Other newly added features include a trip planner so riders can find directions when they are not sure which bus or train to catch. The new tool lets users enter their starting location and destination to find helpful directions.

Also, TransitTimes+ shows official service alerts inside the app. These notifications provide riders with important updates about delays, construction, and news issued by transit agencies.

"Providing live information to anyone with a mobile device is the future of public transit," said Quentin Zervaas, owner of Zervaas Enterprises, which created the TransitTimes+ app. "We hope it encourages other agencies around the world to also provide this important data to their riders."

The TransitTimes+ app now offers real time tracking for buses in: Boston, Los Angeles (LA Metro only), New York City (Staten Island/Brooklyn only), Oakland, Ottawa, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Toronto, Utah (buses and TRAX), and Washington DC.

Inside the TransitTimes+ app, commuters can access the real-time tracking with a single tap. The live view shows the actual position of each bus on a high-quality map, along with the user's current location. Tapping a bus will show an estimate of how much longer until it arrives and the predicted time.

"You no longer need to wait in the rain or cold wondering when your bus will arrive," Quentin Zervaas said. "With our new real-time tracking, TransitTimes+ lets you plan your trip ahead of time, saving time and having a more pleasant commute."

Live tracking comes in addition to the full range of trip planning features in TransitTimes+. The app offers convenient bus, subway, ferry, train, and streetcar schedules for over 50 cities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. After a city's schedule has been downloaded, it can be viewed even when the user is offline.

TransitTimes+ also shows the distance to each stop, how long the trip will take, the route on a map, and more. Travelers can view a summary of the route or all stops in between to make sure they board the right bus, in the right direction, and do not miss their stop.

Features of the TransitTimes+ app include:
* Live bus and train tracking - Users can see vehicle locations updated in real time

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Elinext Group, an international alliance of custom software development companies, announces that its city guide solution is now available to cities, towns, communities, travel agencies and services providers around the globe. Ubiquitous smart devices allow tech-savvy consumers make their travel experiences far more inspiring, enjoyable and individualized. Availability of all the necessary information right at finger tips is a very important factor for modern travelers.

Waterford, Ireland - Traveling and tourism are booming these days. This upturn is accompanied by the accelerating growth of smartphones and tablets. Ubiquitous smart devices allow tech-savvy consumers make their travel experiences far more inspiring, enjoyable and individualized. Elinext Group, an international provider of professional software solutions, is delighted to announce that its expertise-based city guide and promotion platform is now available for a widespread use by both the public and the private sector.

Availability of all the necessary information right at finger tips is a very important factor for modern travelers. Increased customer satisfaction can translate into a sustainable competitive advantage. Those cities and local services providers that wish to "communicate" with guests as well as residents efficiently are now faced with the necessity of having their own city guide mobile apps with rich functionality.

"The travel industry is getting highly competitive. Cities and towns strive to get more visitors and travel agencies - more customers. Our high-quality city guide platform allows to deliver exceptional experience to end-users' smartphones and tablets. Everyone can create with it a personalized travel guide," said Maxim Dadychyn, Elinext Group's Project Manager.

The main features of the mobile app include interactive maps, individual travel routes, ratings and sharing in social networks, trip planning assistance (e.g., bagpacking list, flight tracking). Data concerning location-based services can be obtained and stored on mobile devices first in the online mode and then be used in the offline mode.

"Our application can cover information about tourist attractions and historical sites, local hotels, restaurants, casinos, religious places, interesting events to attend and take part in, night clubs, transportation details, useful phone numbers, tips for travelers and more," proceeded Maxim Dadychyn.

Additionally, the city guide solution can be upgraded with in-app purchase features like weather updates and forecasts, Green Map (interactive map with information on the condition of the regional environment), real-time Augmented Reality (AR) extensions, live video streaming (e.g. of local events) and NFC (Near Field Communication) payments.

"I am confident that Elinext Group's city guide solution is a must-have tool in today's highly competitive landscape. If a city authority, a community, a travel agency or a hotel chain can suggest consumers such a mobile app, this sends a strong message to the general public about the exceptional level of their services," said Eugene Grinkevich, Elinext Group's Business Development Director.

New BillShare App - Easily Split Bills and Track Shared Expenses - Published on 08/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

To solve a common problem of everyday life, Foxenet Ltd announces the launch of BillShare, an innovative new iPhone app that helps a group of people keep track of expenses they share together without confusion, arguments, or IOUs. The app keeps track of bills and payments so each person pays their fair share. Users can add paid, unpaid, and recurring bills - large or small - and BillShare acts as the banker, automatically doing the math and keeping the books.

Dublin, Ireland - To solve a common problem of everyday life, Foxenet Ltd announces the launch of BillShare, an innovative new iPhone app that helps a group of people keep track of expenses they share together without confusion, arguments, or "IOUs."

Keeping track of two people who share expenses is challenging, but squaring away the debts of three, four, or more people over time is very difficult. To solve this, BillShare keeps track of bills and payments so each person pays their fair share.

"BillShare was designed for roommates, friends, couples, family, coworkers, or anyone who's ever owed someone else money," said Eamonn Fox, Founder of Foxenet Ltd. "The app makes it easy to track debts and payments by walking you through each step."

To see how BillShare works in real life to help people divvy up expenses, consider the example of a grocery bill split among four roommates.

The first step is to create accounts for each person who will be sharing bills. Then, users can add a paid bill (like that grocery bill), unpaid bill (like an electric bill), or recurring bill (like cable TV). To add a bill, users enter the name, amount, who paid it, and any notes. The app instantly shows the effect a new bill has on who owes what in the accounts module.

An important feature of BillShare that makes splitting expenses easier is called the "kitty", like a piggy bank shared by everyone in the group. People either owe money to the kitty or is owed money by it. At any time, users can see a summary of how much money is in the kitty and each user account.

For example, the three rooomates that did not buy the groceries (but will be eating the food) would all owe the kitty their share of the bill. When a user pays the kitty, the transaction is tracked by recording a payment in the app. Each roommate enters the amount paid and BillShare acts as the banker, automatically doing the math and keeping the books.

Once everyone pays their share of the grocery bill to the kitty, the roommate who bought the groceries can be reimbursed for what she is owed. That payment from the kitty to the user is recorded in BillShare, so all roommates know they are squared up.

BillShare also tracks unpaid bills, which can be entered into the app along with their due dates. When the deadline arrives, each account will be charged with their share of the bill. Users can also receive a reminder of the due date.

Adding a recurring bill to the app saves time for expenses that happen regularly for a set amount, such as a cable TV or internet bill. Users enter the amount, start date, and recurring period (every month, for example). When the recurring period is reached, BillShare creates a new "due" bill and charges each account with their portion.

In addition, this flexible app allows some people to be marked as "exempt" from paying a particular bill - for example, if friends wanted to treat someone to a birthday dinner.

If someone is running low on cash, they can borrow from the kitty. This loan can be recorded and will increase the amount of money that person owes the kitty.

Features of the BillShare app include:
* Track shared expenses: Avoid confusion and arguments over money by letting BillShare act as the record keeper
* Multiple users: Everyone in the group gets their own account inside the app that records all transactions
* Flexible bill entry: Add paid, unpaid, and recurring bills - large or small
* See who owes what: View amounts in the kitty and each user account
* Simple bookkeeping: BillShare makes tracking debts and payments easier

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 0.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BillShare 1.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category. Review copies are available upon request.

AlphaDigits Top Rated Apps - July 2012 - Published on 08/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AlphaDigits releases the list of top rated apps every month based on the reviews that have been published in the site during the month. The names of top rated apps for the month of July have been released by the website. iOS apps have taken all the five places this month including iPhotoCap, Image Southwest Parks, Image Route 66, Worldwide-Marketplace and Pepi Bath. App developers can approach AlphaDigits through the on-site form to get their apps reviewed.

Long Island, New York - Popular app review website AlphaDigits has announced the top rated apps for the month of July.

AlphaDigits releases the list of top rated apps every month based on the reviews that have been published in the site during the month. The names of top rated apps for July have been released by the website and iOS apps have taken all the five places this month.

iPhotoCap (5/5): This app, developed by Rob Green, helps users create multiple, moveable captions on any picture of their choice. After adding the caption, they can share them on social networks like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr and more. As this application focuses on the grunt side of uploading, users can focus on the creative side (for captioning it). This free app is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad and requires iOS 5.1 or later.

Image Southwest Parks (4.8/5): Images Southwest Parks has a lot of high resolution images of American Southwest. As they are geo-referenced images, it is easy to find the exact location of each sight. Therefore, Image Southwest Parks can be consulted to find out how close you are to your destination while traveling. All the images are loaded inside the app and it needs no Internet connection to work. This app costs USD 1.99 and is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It requires iOS 3.2 or later.

Image Route 66 (4.7/5): Route 66, the main street of America, is often referred as world's longest small town. Image Route 66 helps users plan and organize their dream trip down Route 66. It is loaded with some fantastic images of the Will Rogers Highway. The features of this app are similar to Images Southwest Parks as both of them have come from a same developer. Image Route 66 costs USD 1.99 and is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It requires iOS 3.2 or later.

Worldwide-Marketplace (4.7/5): This app provides free space for advertising. After downloading Worldwide-Marketplace for free of cost, users can see advertisements and more importantly post advertisements for free. These ads will be placed in the app for the period of up to 4 months. Therefore it is great way for the users to take the ads with them when traveling. This free app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and requires iOS 3.1 or later. Worldwide-Marketplace is available on Android too and there is also a web service (worldwide-marketplace.com).

Pepi Bath (4.5/5): It is an iPhone role-playing app that teaches hygiene to kids. Pepi Bath has 4 parts as different situations in which this cute character PEPI - a boy or a girl to choose - appears: at the sink, washing clothes, going to a toilet and taking a bath. Pepi Bath compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad and requires iOS 4.0 or later. It costs $1.99 USD.

"As per our plan, we have started providing reviews as guest blogs," said Joe Ellen, an editor of AlphaDigits. "This service is offered at a competitive price and we have informed about this to the developers who submitted their apps to us for the review".

App developers can approach AlphaDigits through the on-site form to get their apps reviewed.
