Digital Heaven releases Pro Player for video content creators - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Digital Heaven today introduces Pro Player, a professional QuickTime player for video content creators and motion graphics designers. Pro Player's clean and simple monochromatic interface provides a fast, elegant and streamlined way to review or present video content. Motion graphics designers will value the ability to quickly view alpha channels, and with a dedicated area for playback controls outside the image, users are able to see all of their video, all of the time.

London, United Kingdom - Digital Heaven today is pleased to announce the release of Pro Player, a QuickTime player designed for video content creators and motion graphics designers. The goal of Pro Player is to deliver a superb experience for professional users, who commonly need more than the built-in OS X player can provide.

Comprehensive control is the hallmark of a good player app, and Pro Player excels in this respect with some unique features. The industry-standard JKL keyboard control for variable speed is included, along with interactive jog and shuttle on the viewer area itself. The Jump Back command allows instant rewind (with a choice of timings), so it's easy to review a missed moment again.

A unique time-saving feature of Pro Player is the ability to view embedded alpha channels without having to open the movie in a full-blown graphics or editing application. Video, audio and timecode information for the current movie is always visible and the current timecode is shown in a large and clear display.

Beta testers have been enthusiastic about Pro Player:

"Pro Player has been great for reviewing renders with precision and ease." - Paul Conigliaro, Motion Designer and Editor

"Pro Player allows me to send QuickTime files with embedded timecode to producers and they appreciate the nice big timecode number that they can reference. JKL control over playback makes it easy to locate specific areas that might be problematic such as flash frames, black frames or anything that might need blurring." - Shane Ross, Editor

Features:
* Clean and simple single-window interface
* Large timecode (or absolute time) display
* No overlays - see an unobstructed view of your movie at all times
* View alpha channel as white on black
* Change background to checkerboard for viewing transparency
* Dedicated panel for video, audio and timecode track information
* JKL keyboard control
* Shuttle and jog by dragging on viewer
* Visual display of current shuttle speed
* Jump back command with selectable times in preferences
* Looping and selection modes
* Single-key full screen mode with optional zoom animation
* Reveal current movie in Finder
* Visual recent files display with thumbnails and last opened time
* Comprehensive keyboard shortcuts

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion

Pricing and availability:
Pro Player is available now for immediate purchase and download from the Digital Heaven online store at the special introductory price of $19.99 USD for one week only. From 22 August, Pro Player will be on sale at the regular price of $29.99 USD.

Apps & More releases Script Timer 2.6.3 for Mac OS X - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Apps & More Software Design, Inc. has announced Script Timer 2.6.3, a Mountain Lion compatible version of its popular script, Automator workflow, and application scheduling utility for Mac OS X. As well as being Mountain Lion compatible the new version has an updated user interface and addresses stability issues that were occurring in Lion. The application ships with more than half a dozen sample scripts that illustrate its use, including examples of Finder and third party application scripting.

Lethbridge, AB, Canada - Apps & More Software Design, Inc. has announced Script Timer 2.6.3, a Mountain Lion compatible version of its popular script, Automator workflow, and application scheduling utility for Mac OS X. As well as being Mountain Lion compatible the new version has an updated user interface and addresses stability issues that were occurring in Lion. With a focus on ease-of-use, Script Timer can schedule the execution of AppleScript, Perl, and shell scripts, as well as applications and Automator workflows.

Script Timer's user-friendly Drag and Drop interface makes it easy to set up any schedule. The application ships with more than half a dozen sample scripts that illustrate its use, including examples of Finder and third party application scripting. Schedule such diverse tasks as system maintenance, file backups, playing music, personal reminders, email and Internet downloads, data logging and much more.

Also included are Track Timer, a powerful controller that provides an interface between Script Timer and iTunes for automated music play, and Job Timer, a script designed to allow the user to automatically keep track of the time spent on various jobs without having to remember to turn timers on and off.

Among Script Timer's most important features is the ability to specify scheduling times down to the second. No other multipurpose scheduling program schedules to times below the minute. This makes Script Timer particularly suited for professional sound scheduling needs.

Scheduling options include:
* Specific times of the day, week, month, or year
* At regular intervals ranging from seconds to weeks
* When the computer enters or leaves an idle state
* Just before the computer goes to sleep or just after it wakes up
* When logging in or out of a user account (logout actions not available in Mountain Lion)
* When a specified application launches or quits

Using a feature called Dynamic Scheduling, users can arrange for an AppleScript to schedule on-the-fly one or more other scripts, applications, or workflows at times of its choice.

Popular uses include:
* Automated execution of any task from checking the mail to emptying the trash
* Desktop publishing font cleanup
* Software development build scheduling
* Office file maintenance
* Home or in the office reminders
* Public and Internet radio stations
* In churches, where Track Timer runs the electronic carillon
* Sound consultants who provide music environments for malls and businesses
* Individuals who want to wake up to or come home to music
* Self-empoyed graphic artists who want to automatically keep track of time spent on various jobs for billing

Script Timer consists of three separate modules; Script Timer itself, used to create and manipulate scheduling data files, a background Scheduling Engine that reads the data files and does the actual scheduling work, and an optional Status Monitor whose icon appears in the system status bar on the right of the main menu bar.

The Status Monitor facilitates the control of the Scheduling Engine, displays its current status, and can be used to open the Script Timer application. A log file records each action, including error messages and optional messages returned from a script, allowing for easy troubleshooting and script results recording.

Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.6 or later
* 4.5 MB Hard Drive space
* An installed BSD package (the default installation)

Pricing and Availability:
A single user license is priced at only $12.00 USD. A Site License (25 users) may be purchased for only $300.00 USD. Worldwide and Academic licenses are also available. A full-featured, 30-day demo is available. Version 2.6.3 is a free update for all registered users of Version 2.0 and later, and is a recommended update for all customers running OS X 10.6 or later. As well as receiving the bundled scripts with the program, upon registering Script Timer customers will receive a URL and password to access at least eight additional scripts, including a script to schedule QuickTime movies.

Nosy Crow Launches First Free Game App - The Grunts: Beard of Bees - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent publisher Nosy Crow today introduces The Grunts: Beards of Bees 1.0, its first free gaming title for iOS devices. A tie-in game for The Grunts book series, this funny, fun and addictive game requires fast fingers, quick thinking and no fear of bees! Players have to build the biggest beard of buzzing bees as possible for Mr Grunt before the time runs out. The game features original artwork by The Gruffalo illustrator Axel Scheffler and is entirely free to download.

London, United Kingdom - Independent publisher Nosy Crow is pleased to announce that its first free games app, The Grunts: Beards of Bees, is available now on the App Store for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The app, a tie-in game for The Grunts book series, written by Philip Ardagh and published in the UK by Nosy Crow in September, features original artwork by The Gruffalo illustrator Axel Scheffler and is entirely free to download.

This funny, fun (and rather addictive) game requires fast fingers, quick thinking... and no fear of bees! Players have to build the biggest beard of buzzing bees as possible for Mr Grunt before the time runs out, but they have to be careful - flowers, birds, and butterflies will all make his bees fly away. Collecting bees quickly means bonus time rewards. Players can compete with friends for the highest score. You can even join the fun on Twitter, recording your score with the #beardofbees hashtag.

As well as all-new artwork by The Grunts illustrator Axel Scheffler, the app features hilarious voice narration by Philip Ardagh, an original score by BAFTA-winning composer Robin Beanland, and ingenious gameplay by Nosy Crow's award-winning app developer team.

"It's been great fun working on our first app for older children. The book is for children of 7 and that means that we wanted to explore a different kind of gameplay, with, for example, scoring. It's fantastic to be able to use the app-building talents of the team to support a new publication and lead children to the book," says Kate Wilson, Managing Director. "However, it's a brilliantly engaging game in its own right."

The Grunts: Beard of Bees is based on The Grunts books, written by Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning author Philip Ardagh and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The first book in the series, The Grunts in Trouble, will be published in the UK in September 2012. The second volume in the series, The Grunts all at Sea, is scheduled for publication in May 2013.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1.3 or later
* 37.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Grunts: Beards of Bees 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Let your young ones experience stories that help them grow w/ Joy Tales - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Swiss based Desdoo today announced the recent launch of Joy Tales for the iPad. A unique storybook geared to help children develop happily, this app provides young users with twelve diverse stories, with each tale designed to encourage kids' positivity in their first few years of life. Developed to be as engaging and fun,Joy Tales' stories entertain children with vibrant professionally drawn illustrations, page-by-page interactive elements, and flexible audio narration options as well.

Lugano, Switzerland - Desdoo SA, an emerging hub for mobile projects geared towards children, is excited today to announce the recent release of Joy Tales for the iPad. This storybook app encourages kids to develop happily, engaging them to be empathetic, balanced, and content as they grow through those all-important first few years of life. Better yet, the app introduces children to this constructive productivity in entertaining and visually engrossing ways. Joy Tales provides young users with twelve diverse stories, with each tale specifically designed to address a different area of development and highlight the power of maintaining a positive attitude, sense of humor, and sense of good will!

Developed to be as engaging and fun as they are developmentally helpful, Joy Tales' stories entertain children with vibrant professionally drawn illustrations, page-by-page interactive elements, and optional audio narration. To boot, parents can record the story in their own voice and play it back right through the app as well. This digital picture-book system was launched with two stories ready and set to amaze kids, and ten more nearly ready to go in the coming days. The app is currently available with English and Italian language options, with many more on the way soon. Joy Tales is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for Free in the Books category.

The first two stories available through the Joy Tales storybook system are aptly about Tab, a white bat who looks different than everyone else, and Camelia - a giraffe that happens to stand head and shoulder above her peers. Joy Tales and its stories were developed by a team of experts consisting of child neuro-psychiatrists, animation designers, and innovative mobile developers to have as much positive educational value as entertainment value. Simply put, this is an experience geared to help young users understand the value of having a great attitude towards life; bettering their overall behavior and mindset through beautifully fashioned visuals and genuinely interesting narratives.

On the technical front Joy Tales boasts an ostensibly responsive interface that's both user friendly and appealing in design. Furthermore, each page of each story included as part of this app comes complete with touch-based interactive elements that encourage children to become active participants rather than passive observers. Since this app is geared towards children too young to read, Joy Tales' stories all come complete with professional audio narration features. This unique storybook experience is already available in both English and Italian, with language support for French, German, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese set to launch in the near future as well.

Engaged parents are free to record any and all stories word for word right through the app too, playing their recordings back to give their kids' story experiences a more personal touch. The first years of life are an important time for any child, and with Joy Tales they'll get the encouraging push they need to continue to grow in a healthy, problem free way.

Users reviewing the app in the iTunes Store are impressed with the improved sound quality that Audio Xciter delivers:

"Finally music that isn't cramped and tinny. This really worked. It opened up the music and gave it depth. For a small investment my whole music library got a new life. I've tried others and they didn't cut it," said Emger.

"I was skeptical at first so I was thankful for the free minutes of playback in the app so I could test it out. Much to my surprise it works great, boosts the quality of my music," said iVinnyBones.

"I have never seen as many 5 star ratings for an app before this one and the reviews are 100% right in this case. The difference in your music is beyond compare," said mekeithwhoyou.

In coordination with the 2012 Backstage Artist LoungeTM Tour, Audio Xciter brand ambassadors will demonstrate the app for music lovers at the following events:

Now music enthusiasts are experiencing the original sound quality created in-studio through the free Audio Xciter app.

"Heavily compressed digital music files reduce sonic performance in music recordings," said David Wiener, CEO of Aphex.

Sticker Shock app shows impact of rising food and gas prices - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Asar Corporation has announced the release of Sticker Shock 1.2, an update to their personal inflation tracker for iOS devices. With food inflation expected to accelerate due to the worst drought in half a century, Sticker Shock will help users stay abreast of the rising prices and shrinking package sizes that are sure to follow. By gaining awareness of which prices are rising, how often, and by how much, users can take steps to minimize the impact inflation is is having on their budgets.

Spencerport, New York - Announcing that Asar Corporation, the developer of Sticker Shock, has released the latest update for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. When users enter the prices of products they buy, Sticker Shock 1.2 automatically tracks and graphs price changes, over time, to give them a more accurate depiction of how inflation impacts them, personally.

Rising grocery bills are a fact of life. Since rising prices are not advertised, and in fact are often intentionally hidden through package size reductions, it is difficult to determine exactly where these costs are coming from. With Sticker Shock users will gain awareness of exactly which prices are rising, how often, and by how much. By paying close attention to rising prices, users may be able to minimize their impact by purchasing less, switching brands, or finding other alternatives.

New for this update is enhanced social media integration. Users can now snap photos of gas price signs, price tags, or even the latest example of the ever-shrinking grocery product, and post directly to Facebook or Twitter. This new feature will help users share how prices are faring generally, and possibly raise awareness of how rising food and energy costs are personally impacting people across the country.

Features:
* Attractive and intuitive user interface
* Beautiful graphs, complete with larger landscape views
* Record new prices in seconds with just a couple taps
* Weight items in personal inflation rate by total consumption
* Track unit prices to outsmart package size reductions
* Share prices, inflation rates, and photos on Facebook and Twitter
* Explore app on first run with sample items and prices

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
* iOS 4.2 or later
* 1.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Sticker Shock 1.2 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category.

Natural Tots Puts the World at Young Kids' Fingertips on the App Store - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Maryland based One Monk Clapping today announces the recent release of Natural Tots for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Natural Tots gives young children the chance to discover beautiful photos of nature and the natural world simply by revealing them with their fingers. It's important for kids to get a head start on developing important fundamental skills and interacting with modern digital media. Now with Natural Tots they can do just that and it's all as simple and engaging as a game!

Ijamsville, Maryland - One Monk Clapping, an emerging educational children's app developer, is excited today to announce the recent launch of Natural Tots onto the App Store. Compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, this children's app gives kids the power to experience the beauty and grandeur of the natural world simply by uncovering them with their fingers. This app features soothing musical melodies, fun animated "reveal" effects uncovering new photos, and an intuitive user interface geared to be accessible for even the youngest users. Natural Tots is currently available for download on the App Store for $2.99 in the Education category.

At once educational and entertaining, Natural Tots gives kids a completely new way to start exploring nature, one which encourages hand-eye coordination development, enhanced language skills, and a greater appreciation for the world around us. For parents keen on their children developing bilingual abilities, Spanish and English are provided. Each landscape and plant kids discover is explained via audio narration first in English and afterwards in Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic and Hindi support will soon be available. Furthermore, every photo in Natural Tots requires children to "wipe" their device's screen until it is revealed in full, an exercise that will intuitively help them learn to better coordinate their hand movements when performing simple tasks.

Natural Tots features eighteen unique full color photographs depicting diverse natural themes, each of which is presented to users in HD via landscape as well as picture modes. Responsive gesture based controls enable children to navigate through the app with ease, while more sophisticated options let parents choose language options and manage other app features without the risk of kids accidentally undoing such settings. Four specific congratulatory reveal animations can be determined up by parents depending on their child's preferences as well.
