Introducing 2012 Map: The Presidential Election App - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cory Renzella is pleased to announce the release of "2012 Map: The Presidential Election App". This iOS app lets you create, save, and share 2012 presidential election scenarios in a quick and easy way. It includes "Live" maps that are updated daily with the newest polls; "Historical" maps that detail every election, from 1789 through 2008; and a blank "New" map that you can customize from scratch. This app is a must-have for anyone interested in American politics and presidential elections.

Taipei, Taiwan - Independent app developer, Cory Renzella is pleased to announce the release of "2012 Map: The Presidential Election App". Now available in the "News" category of the App Store, "2012 Map" lets you create, save, and share 2012 presidential election scenarios in a quick and easy way. This iOS app is a must-have for anyone interested in American politics and presidential elections.

It includes a "Live" map that is updated every day with the newest polls; "Historical" maps that detail every election, from 1789 through 2008; and a "New" blank map that you can customize from scratch.

In presidential elections, it's the electoral vote that matters most. That vote is determined by the states each candidate wins, and whether you're interested in historical elections or the 2012 election, "2012 Map: The Presidential Election App" covers it all.

According to Cory Renzella, the app's creator, "This app focuses on what really matters in the election, and it's got something for everyone. History buffs can read about the controversial election of 1876, when Rutherford Hayes beat Samuel Tilden by a single electoral vote; people who are focused on the current race can look at polling details in every state and see that on August 9, Romney was holding a slight 47.5% to 46.5% lead over Obama in North Carolina; and people who simply want to create their own scenarios can start from a blank map, experimenting to see what the map would look like if a Republican swept the south, a Democrat took the coasts, and a third-party candidate had a strong showing out West."

2012 Map has already risen to as high as number three in the "Paid Apps" chart in the "News" category. It is currently being featured in the "News" category, and on August 12, mobile app site Appolicious.com named it as one of its "iOS Apps of the Week".

Features:

* A "Live" map is updated once each day with the most recent polling data, giving you the best estimate of what will happen on November 6.

* "Historical" maps show you every presidential election result, from 1789 through 2008, and include notes and state-by-state results for each election.

* States can be tapped to change their colors (red, blue, or gray, with light red and light blue colors for "leaning Republican" and "leaning Democrat", and a green "3rd Party" color).

* States can be touched for one second to reveal their details (e.g., each candidate's percentage, the state's electoral votes, and its previous winners).

* Scenarios can be shared with family and friends on Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail, allowing you to see if your friends agree, disagree, or have their own election scenarios.

Device Requirements
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 5.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
2012 Map: The Presidential Election App 1.0 is available for $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) in the "News" category of the App Store.

VeprIT Resize Sense 1.3.0 - Flexible batch image resizer for Mac - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VeprIT released Resize Sense 1.3.0, a new version of the flexible batch image resizer for Mac OS suitable for any need. It saves the user time on repetitive tasks by supporting custom presets, and can apply multiple presets to every image. In addition, Resize Sense allows to manually adjust the crop individually for every image. Resize Sense 1.3.0 introduces more flexible resizing options requested by the users, improves the user interface, and fixes bugs.

Zoetermeer, Netherlands - VeprIT is pleased to announce Resize Sense 1.3.0. Resize Sense is a flexible batch image resizer for Mac OS with various resizing options suitable for any need. It stands out from other batch image resizers with the following distinctive features:

Saved user presets:
A user performing repetitive tasks only needs to configure the resizing options once per task, and save it as a preset. It is even possible to apply multiple resizing presets to every image.

Manual per-image, per-preset crop (and even straighten) adjustment:
Most other batch image resizers would at best allow to align the crop rectangle to the left/right/top/bottom, but a better control is often required.

Live final image preview:
The user can see immediately how the final image will look after cropping, extending with solid borders, or distorting.

Batch image cropper & straightener functionality:
For images of the same size, Resize Sense can be used as a bulk image cropper and straightener, because it supports copying & pasting the crop & straighten configuration between images.

Batch image format converter functionality:
Resize Sense can be used to convert multiple images from any format supported by the operating system to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, and BMP.

Simple, intuitive, self-explanatory user interface:

Resizing types supported in Resize Sense:
* Fixed width and height. The images will be cropped if required
* Fixed width or height. The other dimension will be computed based on the original image size
* Fixed output image dimensions. They are assigned to width and height based on the original image orientation. Will be cropped if required
* Fit to a box with defined width and height
* Fit to a box with defined dimensions. They are assigned to width and height based on the original image orientation
* Fixed longest edge size. The other edge will be computed based on the original image size
* Fixed shortest edge size. The other edge will be computed based on the original image size
* Crop only. A special type for the case if only cropping (without specific sizing) is needed

Size units:
* Pixels
* Percents
* Inches
* Centimeters

Resolution units (available when defining size in inches or centimeters):
* Pixels per inch
* Pixels per centimeter

Additional resizing options:
* Enlarge image if the original or the cropped part is too small for the requested size

Choose how to fix the image aspect ratio if it changes (if the requested size is not proportional to the original). Resize Sense offers the following solutions to this problem:
* Crop the image, aligning the crop rectangle as desired, or even adjusting it manually
* Add solid borders of a customizable color
* Distort the image

New in Resize Sense 1.3.0:
New solution fixing the changing image aspect ratio problem has been introduced. In addition to cropping and deforming, it is now also possible to extend the image with solid borders of a custom color.

User interface improvements:
* Reorder presets in the Presets Management window
* Filter presets in the lists to quickly find those you are looking for
* Many predefined presets for common paper sizes are included in the bundle. They are automatically imported in the new installations, and can be imported at any time later in the Presets Management window
* Context menu in the image browser

Bug fixes:
* The "Fit to width and/or height" resizing type did not work correctly when only height (and no width) was defined
* In the Save Multiple Files panel, tokens sometimes were inserted into wrong locations when the name field contained spaces
* Illegal characters in output file names could cause problems when saving

System Requirements:
Resize Sense 1.3.0 requires a 64-bit Intel-based Apple computer with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later. Resize Sense 1.2.0 and earlier versions also work on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard).

Pricing and Availability:
A trial version of Resize Sense (with disabled results saving) is freely available for download at the application webpage. The current price is 8.9 Euro. The license can be purchased at the download page. Resize Sense is also available on the Mac App Store.

August Sale Special: Life Inventory iPhone / iPad Apps at Reduced Prices - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory apps, his Lifestyle apps for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, that guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses, are now reduced for five days starting August 20th. Learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible at a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. And now even a smaller fraction for those who act quickly.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory apps, his Lifestyle apps for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, that guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses, are now reduced for five days starting August 20th. While requiring a significant investment of time, the Inventory allows users to analyze their reactions to: People, Institutions and Organizations; Principles, Ideals and Beliefs; Sources of Anxiety and Excitement; Fears; and Sex Relations. Originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered that a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined 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:
The Life Inventory apps are normally $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. August 21-24, 2012 each is reduced 20%. Lite versions of the apps are $1.99 each, which are supplements that provides a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation.

Old-time Classic Fishing Game is Free for two days - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Trunky Fishing Game, the old time classic fishing game since 1890 is brought to new life. Now in collaboration with Daily App Dream you can get it for free two days, 21th-22th August 2012. The clock is ticking. In the Trunky Fish Game, you have to catch all the fish when their mouth is gaping open, otherwise you might scare them away. Use all possible limbs and toes to drag the fish into their buckets. Hurry, and get your copy.

Copenhagen, Denmark - The clock is ticking. In the Trunky Fish Game now with even more languages. You have to catch all the fish when their mouth is gaping open, otherwise you might scare them away. Use all possible limbs and toes to drag the fish into their buckets. Not only is there a fun fishing mode, but also an educational mode where the player hunts for the right letter, number or color.

Do you want a unique new game for your children to play on their iPad or iPhone? From the makers of Trunky Learns Letters, in the top 10 list of educational games in over 10 countries around the world, including the US, and countries around Scandinavia and the Middle East, comes the latest game: Trunky Fishing Game.

Remember that fishing game toy we all played as kids? It was first made by the McLoughlin Brothers back in 1890. Many generations later, that toy is still going strong! Now, we have brought it to iPads and iPhones so you can share it with your children.

We have seen the excitement in children's eyes as they played the Trunky Fish Game. They used all possible limbs and toes to drag the fish into their buckets! Not only is there a fun fishing mode, but also an educational mode where the player hunts for the right letter, number or color.

To ensure the game is not too easy, there are some fun challenges. The clock is ticking! You must catch all the fish before your time runs out. Also, you need to time your fish capture with the gaping mouth of the fish! If the fish is not ready to be caught, you will scare it away and have to wait to finish the challenge! If that's not enough, then you can spin the pond to make the fish even harder to catch.

What's really neat about this game, is that you can even play it with a friend in the two player mode. Experience tells us, though, that soon, the whole family will be joining in and playing the game.

FitPal: New iPhone App Will Take Control of Exercise Workouts - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Biocom Technologies introduces FitPal 1.0, its exercise app for iOS. FitPal uses the built-in camera with flashlight to monitor the users pulse in resting position & during standup to calculate their functional capacity & optimal level of exercise intensity for today�s workout, ensuring the greatest possible health benefits while significantly lowering & controlling risks of overtraining. Users can instantly check their pulse to make sure they are staying within the recommended heart rate zone.

Seattle, Washington - Biocom Technologies, a leader in innovative consumer biomedical products, today is pleased to announce the release of FitPal. The new iPhone application helps users get their functional capacity and personalized recommendations on optimal and safe exercise intensity for each workout.

FitPal uses iPhone built-in camera with flashlight to monitor user pulse in resting position and during standup to calculate user�s functional capacity and optimal level of exercise intensity for today�s workout. This helps to ensure the greatest possible health benefits while significantly lowering and controlling risks of overtraining. At any time users can instantly check their pulse with FitPal to make sure they are staying within the recommended heart rate zone.

If you want to get some insights into how it works, FitPal measures the user�s pulse while establishing a benchmark as the cardiovascular system is challenged by moving from a sitting to standing position. Professional trainers and nurses refer to this action as a �stand-up,� and rely on the stand-up pulse rate to determine how well a person�s cardiovascular system is able to tolerate physical exercise. FitPal incorporates a special mathematical formula to evaluate the level of functional capacity. Then it chooses an adequate level of exercise intensity, in accordance with the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine.

�FitPal can be used every time before and during exercising,� explains Alexander Bandarchuk, VP of Engineering for Biocom Technologies. �It utilizes technologies that have been proven over time and validated through research conducted on thousands of subjects, including top athletes. With FitPal users can take a full control of their workouts, contributing to exercise quality and, more importantly, to a sustained health and fitness.�

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 4.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
FitPal 1.0 is only $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category.

Indie Publisher Launches Digital Mag To iPad - End Of Print Publishing? - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MAKE APP Magazine was launched Sunday morning to the Apple iPad Newsstand, featuring leading luminaries in the field of app development and app marketing. The magazine aims to teach people with no programming knowledge to create a profitable app business and to succeed in the app store. The magazine joins only 4,160 other magazines available today on the Newsstand in the US App Store and heralds a new opportunity for the independent publisher.

Tel Aviv, Israel - MAKE APP Magazine, launched on Sunday the 19th of August 2012, is one of the first independent publishers to release a magazine to the Apple iPad Newsstand, joining the ranks of popular journals such as Wired Magazine and National Geographic. Currently there are only 4,160 digital publications in the Newsstand in the US App Store, making it one of the least competitive and potentially most profitable sections of the App Store.

MAKE APP Magazine: Teaching ordinary people to create successful apps
The magazine aims to mentor its readers to become successful app entrepreneurs and features interviews with leading figures in the app development industry. The first issue features Amish Shah, who launched an app business with zero programming knowledge and subsequently sold his business for $1.95M within 9 months. Other notable guests to be featured in this and coming issues include Gert Jan Spriensma (Data Analyst, Distimo), Matthaus Krzykowski (Co-Founder, Xyologic), Tomasz Kolinko (Founder AppCod.es) and Chad Mureta (Founder of Empire Apps).

The Apple Newsstand: A Global Opportunity
"Just hours after launch we've already seen amazing interest," says David Janner, the magazine's publisher and editor. "The iPad Newsstand allows access to a global community. We've seen downloads of the magazine from all over the world, including the US, China, Australia, Denmark, Japan and South Korea."

The Death of Print Publishing: Rise of The Indie Digital Publisher
According to Janner, the age of print publishing is giving way to the new era of digital publishing. "Print publishers can't compete with the new digital medium. For a fraction of the cost you can have instantaneous global distribution, thanks to Apple's App Store and Newsstand. They will have to adapt or die."

MAKE APP Magazine uses the Magcast platform, which was designed to allow independent publishers such as David to seamlessly produce magazines for the Newsstand. The Magcast platform itself costs only around $2,000 and according to Janner the only other cost associated with the creation of the magazine was a sum of $250 for the graphic design, which was outsourced to the Philippines using Odesk. "It was literally a matter of creating a PDF file and uploading it to the system. Magcast spits out an app in a few minutes which can be uploaded to the App Store."

MAKE APP Magazine is devoted to teaching indie app developers how to best market and monetize their apps in order to achieve success in the App Store. The magazine, launching August 2012, is edited and produced by David Janner, a former medical doctor who abandoned his medical training to pursue his passion for entrepreneurship and technological innovation. MAKE APP Magazine was born out of David's interest in app development and the relative lack of credible information sources related to app development and app marketing for independent developers. MAKE APP Magazine is also one of the first of its kind, being a digital magazine published exclusively to the iPad Newsstand by an independent publisher. The Apple iPad Newsstand is a relatively new feature launched in October 2011 which facilitates the delivery of digital magazines straight to the convenience of the iPad. MAKE APP Magazine takes advantage of the Magcast platform, which allows independent publishers to easily publish to
the iPad Newsstand. Copyright (C) 2012 MAKE APP Magazine. All Rights Reserved. Apple, the Apple logo, iPhone, iPod and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. in the U.S. and/or other countries.

CoreMelt Brings its Advanced Stabilization tool to Final Cut Pro X Users - Published on 08/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CoreMelt today releases its Lock & Load stabilizer for Final Cut Pro X. Lock & Load has long been an essential tool for legacy Final Cut Pro users. Now the new generation of Final Cut Pro X users can add the full power of an advanced stabilization tool to their editing repertoire. As well as providing fast smoothing of all kinds of camera motion, Lock & Load also provides advanced Rolling Shutter reduction to help minimize skew and wobble artifacts from CMOS sensors used in popular DSLR cameras.

Sydney, Australia - CoreMelt, a leading provider of advanced video plug-in effects for the editorial, composting, design and visual effects communities, today is proud to announce the release of its Lock & Load stabilizer for Final Cut Pro X users.

Lock & Load has long been an essential tool for legacy Final Cut Pro users, now the new generation of Final Cut Pro X users can add the full power of an advanced stabilization tool to their editing repertoire. As well as providing fast easy smoothing of all kinds of camera motion, Lock & Load also provides advanced Rolling Shutter reduction to help minimize skew and wobble artifacts from CMOS sensors used in popular DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D Mk III or even iPhone or iPad footage.

Roger Bolton, CoreMelt founder, director and visual effects veteran points out "The Rolling Shutter reduction built into Final Cut Pro X is one size fits all, there is only an overall strength control. For CoreMelt Lock & Load, we individually tested the most popular types of DSLR cameras and optimized our results for the specific CMOS sensors of each camera." Lock & Load's superior results are the result of over eight years of development and improvement of the proprietary stabilization and shutter reduction algorithm.

Why use Lock & Load X over the built in Stabilizer in FCP X?
* Faster analysis, up to 12 times faster at analyzing the motion in your clip than the built in stabilizer
* Better results, more power rolling shutter reduction, less wobble, zooming and scaling artifacts
* More powerful, advanced features like tracking region of interest and full parameter key-framing let you handle otherwise un-trackable clips
