Orderly - The Most Natural Way to manage To-Dos on Your iPhone - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tekton Technologies today introduces Orderly for iOS, their productivity App, with an intuitive user interface, that allows users to create To-Dos using simple iPhone gestures in the most natural way, setting apart other similar Apps. Notes are displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all the To-Dos, expand or contract them with pinch gestures, drag & drop between priorities, mark as complete, or swipe to delete.

San Jose, California - Tekton Technologies is pleased to announce Orderly 1.2 for iOS, their productivity app that lets users create To-Dos on sticky notes of any one of six different colors, typing in any of three different fonts. Once completed, notes are displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all their To-Dos, expand and contract them with pinch gestures, edit items, change their priority, mark them as complete, or swipe them to delete. The app includes two full-screen bookshelves, Home and Work, allowing users to keep To-Dos posted according to priority and location.

The extraordinary simplicity, practicality, and design of Orderly sets it apart from the many To-Do apps available. Having concluded that pinches and swipes are ergonomically more efficient than taps (which require hitting a target button), Tekton Technologies has employed the fundamental principles of human factors to design a To-Do app that is highly efficient, instantly informative, and accommodate of the daily needs of real people. The learning curve for the app and all its features is about one minute.

For a quick demo please visit Orderly online.

Feature Highlights:
* Create a To-Do instantly
* Great usability using simple iPhone gestures
* Pinch to zoom in/out to have a quick glance of the To-Do
* Automatically prioritizes your To-Do based on the due date
* Long press to delete, or drag n' drop to move a To-Do to a different priority
* Swipe right to mark an item completed or swipe left to delete an item from the To-Do
* Supports two boards or views: a Home view and a Work view
* Set colors/fonts, priorities
* Can set recurring dates
* Instantly share a To-Do via SMS or email
* Once a To-Do is completed, it moves automatically to the archives, and you can browse through them when needed

At launch in portrait orientation, the app opens to either the Home or Work page (reversed with a page flip transition). Sticky notes go on one of three shelves, depending on priority: High, Medium, or Low. Users are free to invent their own color-coding for notes, as the app supplies all six of the standard sticky note colors (pale yellow, pale green, pale blue, pale orange, pale red, or white). Completed notes can have their priority set from the Scheduling Menu as a category (High, Medium, Low), or according to a Due Date (user selectable from the date picker). Also available is a Recurring category that can be set for Daily, Weekly, etc.

The colored, rectangular sticky notes are displayed three to a shelf, or nine to a page. Scroll dots indicate that more notes are viewable on that shelf by scrolling horizontally. Touching any note causes it to grow to fill the entire screen. The notes are clean and spacious holding just six items in full screen mode (before scrolling) and three items in shelf display mode. When enlarged, notes may be edited, and swiping left to right across any item brings up a Completed button beside the item. Touching the button dims the item, but does not delete it, check it, or cross it out. Swiping right to left brings up a Delete button, which removes the item with a text slide animation off the page.

The app includes many customization options including backgrounds, textures, colors, fonts, headings, priorities, etc. Sound effects can be turned on/off, and Archives (completed items) maintained up to 60 days. With a colorful, clean interface for posting, checking, editing, and completing To-Dos, Orderly breaks down long lists of reminders into easily manageable sticky notes.

Orderly is the most natural way to manage your To-Do lists using simple iPhone gestures. All your info is presented as simple sticky notes, so that you can create To-Dos and post them on your board, just like a sticky note. But this App allows you to prioritize your To-Dos, without the hassle of misplacing a note or forgetting an item, just because there are too many To-Dos to manage. The best part of the app is that Orderly automatically prioritizes your To-Dos by moving around those sticky notes.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 5.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Orderly 1.2 is now at the introductory price of $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available on request.

Introducing LetterSlider for the iPhone and iPod touch - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Apple's App Store welcomed LetterSlider to its gaming offerings on Wednesday. LetterSlider is an original word-finding slider puzzle game for the iPhone and iPod touch. The app challenges players of all ages to form words by sliding lettered tiles into place, trying to score the most points, spell the most words, accomplish achievements and more in only two minutes. LetterSlider allows players to strategically shuffle letters around, one at a time, to create new words.

Stanhope, New Jersey- Apple's App Store welcomed LetterSlider to its gaming offerings on Wednesday. The app challenges players of all ages to form words by sliding lettered tiles into place, trying to score the most points, spell the most words, accomplish achievements and more in only two minutes.

"The goal was to develop an app that broke the mold of traditional word search games," said LetterSlider developer Scott Stanchak. "That's why we believe LetterSlider is one of the most innovative and thought-provoking word search games to hit the Store in years."

Unlike most word search puzzles, LetterSlider doesn't restrict players into forming words using letters where the app positions them. Instead, LetterSlider provides players with one open tile spot on its game board, which allows players to strategically shuffle letters around, one at a time, to create new words.

"You'll constantly find yourself thinking three, four, five moves - or words - ahead," Stanchak said. "It's been exciting to hear from people who tell me they're challenged by LetterSlider more than any other word game on their iOS device."

To start each new game, LetterSlider provides players with a random collection of 22 English lettered tiles, one double-word tile, one triple-word tile, and a blank tile spot. All standard and bonus lettered tiles feature a point value based on its dictionary commonality.

Players are scored in five categories: total points, total words, most points on a single word, longest word, and 20 Game Center achievements. If one scores enough points or spells the most words, they could end up on the Game Center leaderboard. Players may also share their best scores with friends on Facebook and Twitter.

For more information on LetterSlider, please visit our official website.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 5.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
LetterSlider 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. An Ad-Free, Delay-Free Pro version is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and features additional two additional scoring categories and Game Center interaction.

The comical dialogue is central to the gaming experience. Ninja Guy is an ideal, fast-paced, action adventure game for those who may truly be ready to prove themselves to the mighty Holy Cow Sensei and achieve their Ninjaness.

According to Mel Georgiou of Immunity Studios, "Ninja Guy has been designed to merge console-like gameplay and depth with the simplicity of a touch-screen device."

Players have the ability to engage enemies with a large array of attacks. As Ninja Guy lays waste to his enemies, he generates Ninja Focus, which enables him to use special attacks, such as the Kamikaze, Whirlwind and Ground Breaker. The gameplay is fast, action based, and keeps the player light-heartedly entertained with the funny and bizarre story of the Ninjaverse. Hundreds of enemies can be killed in less than a minute.

The first episode contains a single level, the Ninja Dojo, and is designed purely to introduce the user to the fundamentals of gameplay. The second episode, Rise of Ninja Guy, is where the story really kicks off, with the ultimate goal of defeating a gargantuan Minotaur and players finally earning their Ninjaness. The Arenas allow Ninjas to test their skills and see how many enemies they can defeat in a set time.

"His Ninjaness is too mighty, his wit is faster than his blade, his arrogance knows no bounds, his story is destined for legend, and his legacy is yours!" stated Mel Georgiou of Immunity Studios. "You control Ninja Guy on his epic journey. Do you have what it takes to earn your Ninjaness?" Ninja Guy will have you laughing along to his almost never-ending supply of dim-witted Ninja catchphrases, such as the classic "2 2 = NINZAAA!" and "Ninza Sense, Tingring!!" Oh, one more piece of advice before you download this app... "Guns don't kill people. Ninja Do!"

Hard Work Tastes Bitter But Success is Sweet - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Running a business has never been so fun. Dream Shop 1.0, a fascinating simulation game, has been released by Toivon Studio. In Dream Shop, players are in the manager's position, facing the ups and downs of the unstable market. There are fire hazards and thieves that make playing Dream Shop even more intriguing and unpredictable. A key point in the game is to decorate the shop with over 300 beautiful ornaments. This remarkable game is completely free and available for download from iTunes.

Shanghai, China - A fascinating new iOS game, called Dream Shop, has been released recently by Toivon Studio. This fascinating simulation game lets you test your retail abilities against thousands of other players from all over the world. Players are in the manager's position, facing the difficulties of hard work and also the sweetness of success. Running a business has never been so fun!

The game has extremely diverse content, including the ups and downs of the unstable market. They can hire employees, choose shelves, supply them with merchandise, etc. Gamers can compete with friends to see who can maintain the busiest, highest-rated shop in the plaza.

Running a business is certainly full of difficulties. The challenge is to hold on even in conditions unfavorable for your business. There are fire hazards and thieves that make playing Dream Shop even more intriguing and unpredictable. Players can assist customers when they need help. Even though in this simulation players are managers, they need to pick up the trash that falls on the floor, etc - any business needs hard work at the beginning.

A key point in the game is to decorate the shop with over 300 beautiful ornaments. It's amazing to see the influence of pretty decoration on buyers. With the money made off customers, players can upgrade shelves or buy new furniture. Better furniture can hold more merchandise, which in turn means more profit! Players can fulfill daily tasks, expand the size of their shops, unlock higher-level merchandise, etc.

Players are successful when their business is running smoothly and when their shops are in a key position. Shops get better rating according to their activity, safety, cleanliness, and number of customers. Shops with higher ratings have more loyal employees. This is important, because if the staff is not very loyal, it can easily be poached by other players. So, in order to preserve the staff, players must keep the shop's rating as high as possible. Successful players can move their shops from Newbies' plaza to higher neighborhoods like Business Plaza, Millionaires' Plaza or Tycoons' Plaza.
The graphics of the game are ultimately original. The developer has chosen a bit "cartoonish" design of the characters and the items, which makes the game much more entertaining.

Dream Shop is perfect for life-long players who enjoy spending hours with a cool game, as well as for first-time iOS game users, who want to feel what it is like to be a CEO. Dream Shop could interest ambitious players as well, because it simulates the real process of running a business. In any case, Dream Shop is worth the download. This remarkable game is completely free and available for download from iTunes.

Neato Credeeto App Seeks to Reduce Credit Card Debt for Americans - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Neato Credeeto LLC, the first of its kind, patented credit card balance transfer calculator, is helping to reduce the confusion of ever-abundant credit card balance transfer offers by breaking down each offer in a user-friendly fashion. This app utilizes calculations to eliminate the confusion of credit card offers. The cross-platform app allows users to see through the percentages and glimmer perks of different offers to determine which credit card option best suits their financial needs.

Glenside, Pennsylvania - Neato Credeeto LLC, the first of its kind, patented credit card balance transfer calculator, is helping to reduce the confusion of ever-abundant credit card balance transfer offers by breaking down each offer in a user-friendly fashion. The cross-platform app allows users to see through the percentages and glimmer perks of different offers to determine which credit card option best suits their financial needs.

Neato Credeeto uses the standard information found in a typical credit card offer and calculates its Real Feel Rate(TM), allowing users to see and understand the impact of time, money, and fees as if they were an investment banker. Additionally, no sensitive personal information is collected in the process.

Neato Credeeto allows users to analyze balance transfer options with just 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Take the balance transfer you have received and enter the loan amount, along with all the information that was included with it.

Step 2: Neato Credeeto will then calculate the offer and show you the "real feel rate" of what you could be paying for your loan.

Step 3: Discover if the balance offer is right for you.

The balance transfer tool can also be used by financial institutions to help members gain a clear understanding of different balance transfer options. With its built-in mail box feature, banks and credit unions can send balance transfer offers directly to users in an unobtrusive way. An economical bulk license program is also made available for financial institutions.

"We are hoping that a powerful tool like Neato Credeeto, that is so practical and easy-to-use, will bring users to a point of better financial understanding" said Keith Darrow, Neato Credeeto CEO. "Ultimately, it's about our users saving time and money by making more educated financial decisions." To help drive home their message, Neato Credeeto has created an infographic with stats illustrating the enormous debt Americans have gotten themselves in.

Neato Credeeto is a balance transfer tool that will help you understand all the balance transfer offers you get in the mail. There has never been a tool like this to help you see through all the percentages and glimmer perks until now. The application supports all major platforms and will also run on anything with a web browser. Neato Credeeto is an app designed to do the work for you and help you make a more educated financial decision and its technology is patented.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 1.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Neato Credeeto 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Finance category. A free version including the same functionality is available for users who have already obtained a license from a financial institution or other source. Neato Credeeto is available for any device with a web browser, including Android, Blackberry, and Windows supported devices.

Blue Whale Apps Ramps Up Dev Resources in Anticipation of iOS 6 - Published on 08/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From June 11 - 15, 2012, Apple, Inc. held the yearly Worldwide Developers Conference and announced the upcoming release of iOS 6. Blue Whale Apps is working with the new iOS 6 SDK in anticipation of updating apps for full compatibility with the latest operating system. Updates to existing apps are expected, as Blue Whale seeks to take advantage of innovative new features to provide the most functionality to businesses and consumers.

Wellington, Florida - Blue Whale Apps, an iPhone app developer, has announced that it is currently developing apps using the latest iOS SDK in anticipation of releasing updated apps for iOS 6. The company's engineering team was in attendance at Apple's WWDC 2012 back in June when the new operating system was announced. Updates to existing apps are expected, as Blue Whale seeks to take advantage of innovative new features to provide the most functionality to businesses and consumers.

Gregg Weiss, Managing Director at Blue Whale Apps, said, "Both people and businesses have come to rely on our apps for essential activities and entertainment. We are making sure they are not left behind when iOS 6 is released this Fall. Meeting our clients' goals, objectives, and budget are just as important with the new update as it has always been."

The company's iOS app development efforts are being structured to make use of the new features of iOS 6. Its apps encompass a range of brand, social media, and game centric products aimed to ease consumer outreach and communication for businesses, while maximizing customer satisfaction.

"Our apps for iOS 6 will be engineered using the latest software development kit. Users will be able to fully appreciate the power of the new mobile device operating system, based on customer feedback and our own presence at Apple's conference," said Andrei Averbuch, Lead Engineer at Blue Whale Apps.

Planned for release in the fall of 2012, iOS 6 will include a totally overhauled maps app with tilt and rotate features to optimize viewing. Clear navigation will be accompanied by visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation in addition to real-time traffic updates. The presence of Siri will also be expanded and will include sports, entertainment, restaurant reservations, and movie ratings. This feature will be integrated into select cars, activated via a steering wheel button, to enable an "eyes free" operation when driving.

On iOS 6, Facebook can be accessed from any app, while photo sharing from the phone's camera roll and map locations of pictures will also be included. The calendar will integrate events posted on the social media site and friend profile information will be added to the contacts list. For reliable communication anywhere, FaceTime will be accessible over cellular and Wi-Fi on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

New capabilities on the phone app include calling features that let the user decline an incoming call; replies can be in the form of preset or custom messages. It will also have options like reminders to return a call and a Do Not Disturb function to disable the phone.

Blue Whale Apps is currently working to update current offerings to work with iOS 6 on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. To learn more about the company, its software, and portfolio, and to see its blog, visit its mobile app development website.

Car Disassembly 3D 1.1 for iOS - Assemble 545 Hot Rod Parts in 3D Game - Published on 08/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Noble Empire today introduces Car Disassembly 3D 1.1 for iOS, another in their best-selling series of 3D Disassembly models/games. Featuring real-time 3D manipulation of the Hot Rod, users have full control over camera angle and focal length, as they fly through, over, and around it. The entertainment app includes five modes: Demo, Operation, Assembly, Disassembly, and Game. With realistic models, dynamic lighting, and precise animations, gamers can compete to assemble the car in the least time.

San Francisco, California - Noble Empire today introduces Car Disassembly 3D 1.1 for iOS, another in their best-selling series of 3D Disassembly models/games. Featuring real-time 3D manipulation of the Hot Rod, users have full control over camera position, camera angle, and focal length as they fly through, over, under, and around the detailed model. The entertainment app includes five modes: Demo, Operation, Assembly, Disassembly, and Game. With a photo-realistic model, convincing sound effects, and precise animations, users of all ages will be instantly absorbed in the part by part exploration of the function, location, and linkage of all 545 pieces in the assembly. International gamers can compete to re-assemble an entirely disassembled vehicle in the least time.

First and foremost an educational, interactive, 3D construction of a classic 50's hot rod, Car Disassembly 3D is part of a series of iOS apps that allows users to explore in depth the inner workings of various guns, starships, motorcycles, and more. The extraordinary app must also be recognized as a tour-de-force in the art of real-time, interactive 3D graphics and animation on a mobile device. Startling in its photorealism and superfluid operation, Car Disassembly 3D is a perfect app to show off the Retina display and processing power of the new iPad. And lastly, the app has been creatively configured to support a most challenging game, where players put their knowledge and understanding to work re-assembling the model as fast as possible.

Feature Highlights:
* Highly detailed 3D model
* 545 parts in one model (including fasteners)
* Fully interactive disassembly of the model
* Pinch zoom the camera view from super-telephoto to ultra-wide angle
* Optional labeling of every part that is disassembled
* Five modes: Demo, Operation, Assembly, Disassembly, and Game
* Casual and Normal difficulty option in Disassembly mode
* 4 levels of X-Ray viewing in Operate Model (best way to explore each assembly's location under the hull)
* Personal and global high scores and achievements
* Universal app: iPad, iPhone, iPod touch (full Retina display support)

Demo mode is a complex, 7 minute, high-speed animation wherein the entire car is disassembled, one part at a time. First, the camera (which is never seen) moves to a position where it has a perfectly framed view of the part that will be disassembled. Second, the single part or component quickly turns gold and flashes on/off twice, signaling that it is about to be unbolted and removed, set aside the model. Third, a 3D green arrow indicates the proper pull direction to remove the part. Fourth, quickly rotating, the necessary fasteners are removed to free the part, which is placed on the virtual plane beside the car, which floats in the sky. Then, as the camera view rapidly changes, the cycle repeats until every part is removed.

In Operation mode, users can display the hot rod in normal, x-ray, or rotating views. Side buttons permit the customization of any of the following components: front glass, side mirrors, hull cover, roof, hull color, nose, additional headlight, sport wheels, exhaust pipes, and sport seats.

Disassembly mode, where users practice taking the model apart, offers two difficulty levels, Normal and Casual. At the Normal setting, all possible pieces come apart, while at the Casual setting sub-assemblies separate automatically after they are removed. Hints, text labeling of parts, undo, and x-ray view are available, as they are in Assembly mode. Users can leave Disassembly mode anytime, and attempt to reassemble the partially completed model in Assembly mode. Game, Assembly and Disassembly modes require operations be done in order. Some operations, like the removal or replacement of a wheel, can take place starting with LF, RF, LR or RR. However, in Disassembly mode, wheel removal must precede all other operations.

Game mode gives players an opportunity to test their knowledge, memory, and coordination, as they try to re-assemble a completely disassembled car. The current world record is 8 minutes 24 seconds with 0 hints, as compared to the 7 minutes and 10 seconds that Car Disassembly 3D uses to demonstrate a full disassembly.

"Never before has it been so easy to work with a realistic, dynamically lit, complex, mechanical 3D model on an iDevice," commented a member of the Noble Empire team. "Explore, experiment, and play - discover what it takes to build a hot rod from scratch."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 37.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Car Disassembly 3D 1.1 for iOS is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Car Disassembly 3D 1.0 for Mac OS X is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Entertainment category. Versions for Windows and Android devices/computers are available. Review copies are available on request.

Located in San Francisco, California, Noble Empire's main goal is to create entertainment applications for interactive manipulation and in-depth analysis of real-life objects. At the end of 2010, they acquired VK Team, a development company whose technology was used for the Gun Disassembly iOS projects. These high-tech products allowed users to disassemble, assemble, and operate modern firearms on the Apple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch). Following their acquisition, Noble Empire's dev team is now twice as large and consists of more than twenty experienced programmers and artists. With these increased possibilities, they plan to expand the Gun Disassembly application to all mobile and desktop platforms: PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7, and others. They plan to release at least one new model per month. Copyright (C) 2012 Noble Empire Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

Montessori Numbers - Innovative Educational Math App for iPad Released - Published on 08/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-winning children's app developer L'Escapadou announces the release of Montessori Numbers, an innovative app that's designed to help kids build solid math foundations. Based upon the proven Montessori method, kids can now experiment with quantities and numerals, learn their names and visually understand how the decimal system works. Montessori Numbers focuses on numbers from 0-1000 and offers a sequence of guided activities that gradually help children reinforce their skills.

Sophia Antipolis, France - Award-winning children's app developer L'Escapadou announces the release of Montessori Numbers, an innovative app designed to help kids build solid math foundations. Based on the proven Montessori method, kids can now experiment with quantities and numerals, learn the names and visually understand how the decimal system works. The Montessori Numbers app focuses on numbers from 0-1000 and offers a sequence of guided activities that will help children reinforce their skills.

In the majority of public and private schools, children are given abstract symbols as the starting point to learn numbers. They are first taught to count out loud - usually in song format - while being shown how to write the numerals. The problem with this format is that recognizing and writing the numerals and counting to 10 doesn't indicate an understanding of what the numbers mean.

Maria Montessori believed "what the hand does, the mind remembers". By using concrete materials during the early, sensitive years, kids taught in a Montessori environment internalize the basic concepts of mathematics more easily. Montessori Numbers is inspired from several traditional Montessori activities and offers concrete hands-on learning materials that make abstract concepts clearer.

Below are some of the features users will find in Math Activities:
* 1 to 20: Designed to introduce numbers by letting kids associate quantities with numerals and numbers' names.
* Quantity: Enables kids to associate quantities to numbers by manipulating units, bars of 10, and squares of 100 to match a given number. Kids can freely experiment with quantities to visually understand how the decimal system works, which means they're doing addition and subtraction.
* Numerals: Number names are to be associated with numerals. As a number name is pronounced, kids are invited to build the corresponding numeral. Kids can freely experiment with numerals and hear the names associated with each one built.
* Numerals from Quantity: In this activity, a quantity is to be associated with a given numeral. Using numerals, kids must build the number that matches the quantity displayed.

Several beta users of Montessori Numbers positively responded to it, saying:

"This is a great app concept! I love the versatility of working with numbers in multiple approaches." - Courtney D
"This app is great for learning number names, connecting symbols and associating quantities. It's easy to use and is free of background distractions." - Amanda S
"All in all, the concept behind the Montessori Number Theory is wonderful and educational. The use of Numbers and Symbols is a great way for any child to memorize and compare." - Dina Maria K

Pierre Abel, founder of L'Escapadou, said, "We're very pleased by the feedback from our beta users. As for our previous successful Montessori-inspired apps, we put all our efforts in adding smart behavior, interactivity and verbal feedback to the Math activities so kids can learn autonomously while having fun."
