Life Inventory for iPad Named in Top 3 iOS Apps for 2012 - Published on 08/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory for iPad app has been named in Top 3 iOS apps for 2012. This and the iPhone version are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory for iPad app has been named in Top 3 iOS apps for 2012. This and the iPhone version are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. Version 2.1 provides substantially faster access when moving between editing and reviewing individual incidents in addition to allowing for easy corrections of Entity and Incident names while reviewing Incidents.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory for iPad guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory in writing:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to write out their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory for iPad app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 8.0 MB

A similar version is also available for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory for iPad 2.1 is $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of the app is $1.99, a supplement that provides a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation. Review copies are available on request.

In this way the app not only provides knowledge but also increases personal enjoyment and satisfaction by making the user more aware of the surrounding environment."

Eggy Ed 1.01 for iOS: Throw Rocks, Kill Birds, Eat Their Eggs, Score Big - Published on 08/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Game Division today introduces Eggy Ed 1.01 for iOS, their innovative bird killer that features a dual function joypad and a power-up fire control. The goal is to eat as many eggs as possible by hitting different birds flying overhead with a stone. Players control Ed as he runs back and forth, pauses, or jumps. The longer the fire control button is held, the farther the rock goes on release. The joypad controls both movement and aiming. Ghoulish, red monster Ed goes through 45 EGGcellent levels.

London, United Kingdom - Game Division today is pleased to introduce Eggy Ed 1.01 for iOS, their innovative bird killer that features a dual function joypad and a power-up fire control. The goal is to eat as many eggs as possible by hitting different birds flying overhead with a stone. Players control Ed as he runs back and forth, pauses, or jumps. The longer the fire control button is held, the farther the rock goes on release. The dual-function joypad controls both movement and aiming. Ghoulish, wide-mouthed, red monster Eggy Ed progresses sequentially through 45 EGGcellent levels of play.

Ed is a fire engine red monster, with bad skin, a giant mouth with very few teeth, yellow eyes, and a very large, long tongue. He loves eating eggs. Of course, birds are airborne and not easily caught, but Eggy Ed has a limitless supplies of small gray rocks, which he throws straight and fast in hopes of hitting a bird who will drop an egg for him to catch and eat. At the lower levels of play, this is fairly easy. But as gameplay continues, the variety of birds increases, and they become smaller, faster, and harder to hit.

Eggy Ed features an innovative fire control/aiming system. Touch and hold the fire button and small white lines appear above Ed like rungs of a ladder. The longer the button is held, the higher the ladder, which corresponds to the height the stone will reach when the button is released. And with the left hand, the joypad controls Ed's movement left or right, as well as the angle at which he releases the stone. Gamers quickly discover the enhanced playability afforded by these integrated move/aim and slingshot/release controls. With practice, players can build up potential rock speed, run, turn, and fire at a 30-degree angle to hit a swiftly flying bird overhead.

Feature Highlights:
* 45 tricky levels over 3 worlds - multilayer, animated, side-scrolling action
* 3 Bonus levels - one for each world
* 11 Unlockable perks - unlock additional skills and weapons
* Dual function joystick - movement and aiming
* Power increase fire button - control how high Ed throws the stone
* Eggy Ed merchandise - tank tops, T-shirts, hoodies, and sweats
* Great for all ages, easy to use - easy to learn, super-challenging
* OpenFeint leaderboards - global competition

Even with practiced rock-throwing skills, these birds become too difficult to hit and kill, and so the designers have built in 11 perks, skills and weapons, to assist. Perks are earned by hitting a specific number of each type of bird. After the perk is unlocked, players must collect the requisite number of stars, which are released whenever a bird falls dead. Stars are collected by using the jump button to have Ed leap upwards.

11 Perks:
* Double Whammy - lets Ed fire 2 stones simultaneously
* Big Bounce - adds a spring to his step, letting Ed jump higher
* Snow Shoes - gives Ed better traction on the ice
* Turbo Toes - instantly increases Ed's running speed
* De-Icer - when deployed, this will stop snowballs from freezing on Ed
* Nuke'em - once used, this will complete any level being played
* Timeless Tearaway - makes gameplay easier by slowing things down
* Triple Triumph - fires a triple shot, 3 stones simultaneously
* 50 Pointer - adds 50 points to the player's score
* 100 Pointer - adds 100 points to the player's score
* Extended Time - adds 5 seconds of time to the game clock

Rounds are 60 seconds long, and counters display eggs eaten and points scored. And there are a host of dangers Ed must face over 45 levels of play, including lethal bird droppings, skidding penguins, and zombies. Highly rated by players worldwide, Eggy Ed has an extremely high "satisfaction factor," that is, when the player finally makes a series of difficult shots, employs cool perks, hits swooping avians, and squeezes it all into 60 seconds, the sense of satisfaction is lasting and well earned.

"To celebrate the release of Game Division's new game, Eggy Ed, we will be giving away to one lucky winner a brand new, shiny iPad 2 in the color of their choice," announced Paul Doy. "Yes, you read that correctly, a brand new iPad 2 could be yours. Simply purchase the Eggy Ed game for your device, iOS or Android, and then register on the Game Division website. And that's it, sit back and wait for the drawing. And good luck!"

Prep for iMovie with iPad2 - Schools Love this App - Published on 08/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Learning iPad's iMovie is catching on in schools, as educators engage students with in-school media projects. Prep for iMovie with iPad2 is quickly becoming the chosen learning tool in the K-12 setting. Prep for iMovie with iPad2 delivers 26 minutes of instruction teaching iPad's iMovie video-editing software. Prep for iMovie with iPad2 provides in-app media so the student can build the same final project that the app teaches.

Mesa, Arizona - When we first published Prep for iMovie with iPad2 in 2011 we had the home video maker in mind, and never considered that America's schools would soon be buying this app. Prep for iMovie with iPad2 delivers 26 minutes of instruction teaching iPad's iMovie video-editing software. Prep for iMovie with iPad2 provides in-app media so the student can build the same final project that the app teaches.

Perhaps this use of in-app media made it attractive to educators. The user saves in-app media to the camera roll, so he can practice what the lesson demonstrates. It's almost like an in-app assignment.

Mosa Motion's Kari Adams said, "We weren't trying to build an app for schools, we were just trying to provide a decent learning experience for aspiring video makers. Things got exciting when our sales data showed more and more frequent blips of sales to schools."

Schools are buying lots of iPads, according to Ken Cook, CEO of Apple:

"The adoption of the iPad in education is something I've never seen in any technology," Cook said on a call with investors. "Education tends to be a conservative institution, but we're not seeing that at all on the iPad. It's been a big help for us." Cook notes that over 1 million iPads were sold to schools in Apple's most recent quarter.

Apple's iPad is a great device for filming, editing and playing video content. iPad replaces the use of a separate camera and a separate computer for video making. With iPad's great utility, and the low cost of
apps, it's not surprising that this app is finding it's way into schools.

Mosa Motion's Kari Adams says, "We'd like to thank the many educators who have discovered iPad and Prep for iMovie with iPad2. Our participation in Apple's 50% off to educators program has allowed schools to discover and purchase Prep for iMovie with iPad2 listed in Apple's educators iPad app store. We are excited to be of use to the K-12 user."

Prep for iMovie with iPad2 1.2 will run on any iPad, and supports Airplay on devices running iOS5 and greater.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Prep for iMovie with iPad2 1.2 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Marble Math 1.1 Delivers Major Update Adding Multi-User Accounts - Published on 08/14/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Artgig Apps announces the release of Marble Math 1.1 today, adding multi-user accounts to their popular kids math practice app. Geared for ages 9-12+, and based on the Common Core curriculum, Marble Math helps reinforce strategy and problem solving skills as players roll their marble through a math maze. The addition of multi-user accounts allows players to create individual profiles, each with customizable avatars, skills, and game options, and includes a personal game history.

Pleasantville, New York - Artgig Apps announces the release of Marble Math 1.1 today, adding multi-user accounts to their popular kids math practice app. Geared for ages 9-12+ and based on the Common Core curriculum, Marble Math helps reinforce strategy and problem solving skills as players roll their marble through a math maze. The addition of multi-user accounts allows players to create individual profiles, each with customizable avatars, skills, and game options, and includes a personal game history.

The Wired.com GeekDad, Daniel Donahoo, includes Marble Math in his Primary Math App Picks, "The questions offer a range of styles that are numerical and visual and, beyond just providing multiple choice answers, the students actually have to collect different numbers that help complete the answer. This is great as there are many and varied answers and the students have to actually understand the solution to the problem, as guessing like you would on multiple choice will not help you progress."

The object of Marble Math is to solve a variety of math problems by collecting numbers as a player rolls or drags their marble through a series of mazes. Young mathematicians earn new marbles as they avoid obstacles and collect bonuses while working through the problems. 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.

"Adding individual user accounts is the one request that kept coming up since the app launched in June," says Artgig President Matthew Kicinski. "Now parents and educators can add as many users as they like on a single device and each child can practice math at their own specific level and save their progress. The update also includes a fun avatar creator that we think kids will love."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 44.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Marble Math 1.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.
