Chronicle 5.0 for OS X - Automatic Management of Household Bills - Published on 08/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Oklahoma based LittleFin Software today announces the release of Chronicle 5.0, an update to their best-selling home finance and bill management app for OS X, now enhanced for Mountain Lion and retina displays. It provides an easy, graphical means to enter and track bills. Features include: automatic bill paying reminders; database of payments and receipts; graphs and reports which analyze trends and averages; and a sortable list of upcoming bills which can be paid on-line from within the app.

Edmond, Oklahoma - LittleFin Software today is pleased to announce the release of Chronicle 5.0, an update to their best-selling home finance and bill paying application for OS X. The app provides an easy, graphical means to enter and track bills. Features include: automatic bill paying reminder; long-term debt tracking; database of payments and receipts; graphs and reports which analyze trends and averages; and a sortable list of upcoming bills which can be paid on-line from within the app.

Version 5.0 is enhanced for Mountain Lion. It includes notification center reminders, which remind the user to pay a bill, even when Chronicle is not running. Clicking on a reminder launches Chronicle, where the user can pay bills online with the integrated browser, and log the payment in Chronicle.

In addition, Chronicle now includes retina display enhanced graphics, including an all new, custom set of icons to represent different types of bills. Among the icons included are icons for childcare; gyms, insurance, rent & mortgage, credit cards and much more.

Not surprisingly, much of the unpleasantness of paying household bills is the confusion, disorder, and poor record keeping that makes the process stressful. Chronicle is designed to remove all the stumbling blocks, and even add style and automation to what was formerly considered a chore. The application setup process begins by entering all recurring and non-recurring bills. The Create a New Bill Window opens and allows the user to populate the following fields: Name (of bill); Next Due Date, Repeats (monthly, weekly, etc.), Bill Payment Information (on-line, phone, mail, automatic), Amount (optional), Balance (optional), Notes, Reminders, and Icon (from a collection of over 30 custom-designed icons for bills).

With all bills entered in this way, users can now employ the application. They now have at their disposal an easy-to-use overview of their household finances. Bills can be sorted, viewed graphically, etc. Any question that arises can be answered instantly from the Overview window, which displays both detailed and summary information.

Chronicle keeps track of the user's bills, and reminds them when each one is due using Calendar and notification center (notification center requires Mountain Lion) - even when neither program is running. With the high cost of late payment fees, help from this feature just once will pay for the app. Paying off debt can be a daunting task, but Chronicle can help by tracking a bills balance. The application also remembers the user's payment history for each bill, and even organizes scanned or downloaded receipts by date, so they can quickly find and view them for reference or proof of payment.

Feature Highlights:
* Easy to learn and use application with powerful features
* Extensive use of graphics, icons, and color to help organize data
* Provides automatic reminders through Calendar and Notification Center when bills are due
* Organizes bills and receipts
* Provides reports on trends and averages
* Free updates for life
* Provides both overview and detailed view of any aspect of finances

In addition, Chronicle analyzes bills by month, year and season and displays the information graphically. It also averages payments so it is easier to budget for bills that fluctuate, like utilities or credit cards. Finally, the sortable overview screen displays at a glance when each bill is due. Colorful icons indicate when a bill is overdue, due soon, or due in the future. With a couple clicks, the user can log payments or make payments online.

Reminders can be automatically added to the user's Calendar. With iCloud, bill reminders in Calendar can be pushed to the user's iPhone, iPad or iPod touch instantly.

The recipient of a host of awards, including Apple Staff Pick, Chronicle has earned a loyal customer base with a well-designed product and "Free Upgrades for Life." Developer Mike Dattolo stated, "Chronicle is the perfect application to get your bills in order. And the best thing about it is that people actually enjoy using it."

Chronicle can be used for free with up to 4 bills for an unlimited time.

System Requirements:
* OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
* 64-bit processor
* 15 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Chronicle 5.0 for Mac OS X is $14.95 (USD or equivalent in other currencies), and available now from LittleFin Software. Review copies are available upon request.

Lola Panda Educational Game Suite Reaches 1 Million Downloads - Published on 08/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BeiZ Ltd today announced that their Lola Panda app series reached their first pivotal milestone, having been downloaded on 1 million devices. Over the course of the past 3 months, more than half of the overall downloads came from Lola's Math Train, an engaging and educational app that focuses on 15 different basic math games. In each level children are challenged to complete various equations like addition, subtraction, solving puzzles, sequencing and matching.

Sacramento, California - Today, the developers of the popular Lola Panda games have reached their first pivotal milestone: Apps from the Lola Panda suite have been downloaded on 1 million devices. BeiZ Ltd has been entertaining and educating children worldwide with apps available on iOS, Mac OS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Nintendo 3DS/DSi, and Windows Mobile.

BeiZ Ltd started the Lola Panda games three years ago with the launch of the first globally successful game in the series, Lola's Alphabet Train. As Lola became an international hit, reaching high ranks within many of the App Stores, so began the development of other apps such as Lola's Beach Puzzle and the newest Lola's Math Train.

"It was very critical for us to create a polished concept and great artificial intelligence. Children between 3 and 8 years old have totally different kinds of starting points and they enjoy different kinds of challenges when they start playing the games," adds BeiZ's producer Miska Fredman.

Over the course of the past 3 months, more than half of the overall downloads came from Lola's Math Train, an engaging and educational app that focuses on 15 different basic math games. In each level children are challenged to complete various equations like addition, subtraction, solving puzzles, sequencing and matching.

"The monthly growth for the games continues to be over 10 percent and we are expecting to reach two million downloads in just a few months. The fantastic feedback, happy customers and great reviews from respected sources such as Wired.com, have helped us to achieve all this," explains CEO Mika Heikinheimo.

Lola's Math Train Lite can now be enjoyed with iOS and Android-updated versions that make the game sleeker and more engaging than ever before. Download free versions of the game.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iStoryTime and Fox Consumer Products, released the Ice Age Storybook App Collection for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch just in time to experience the paleolithic adventures of Manny, Sid, Diego and the beloved herd in the latest film installment of the successful animated franchise. The Collection will engage readers on a new level, immersing them in the world of Ice Age beyond the big screen. The Ice Age Storybook App Collection features character audio narration and vivid imagery.

Santa Barbara, California - iStoryTime and Fox Consumer Products, released the Ice Age Storybook App Collection for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch just in time to experience the paleolithic adventures of Manny, Sid, Diego and the beloved herd in the latest film installment of the successful animated franchise. The Collection will engage readers on a new level, immersing them in the world of Ice Age beyond the big screen. The Ice Age Storybook App Collection features character audio narration and vivid imagery from the motion picture franchise, offering parents and children an engaging reading experience through the series which includes:

Ice Age: Manny, a woolly mammoth, has been roped by Sid the Sloth into helping reunite an abandoned human baby named Roshan with his family. They are also joined by Diego, a saber-toothed tiger who befriends Sid and Manny.

Ice Age: The Meltdown: Manny, Sid and Diego embark on another incredible adventure. The Ice Age is coming to an end, and the animals are delighting in a melting paradise that is their new world. When disaster threatens, the sub-zero heroes embark on a mission across an ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape towards their salvation.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: The sub-zero heroes return, this time beneath the ice, discovering a world of dinosaurs.

Fishington Studios Launches Boxes:Organize and Share Your Life and Notes - Published on 08/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fishington Studios launches Boxes: A new and fresh way to organize and share your life and notes. Boxes is currently the only note-taking and project app of its kind that allows for collaboration between users as well as consolidation of several popular productivity features: Users may group notes, recordings, tasks, sketches, and maps together as pages in a notebook. And notebooks can be sorted and organized into a box, providing a unique and intuitive interface for a user's data.

Logan, Utah - Fishington Studios has announced the release of its new iPad application Boxes to the Apple iTunes store. Boxes is currently the only note-taking and project app of its kind that allows for collaboration between users as well as consolidation of several popular productivity features: Users may group notes, recordings, tasks, sketches, and maps together as pages in a notebook. And notebooks can be sorted and organized into a box, providing a unique and intuitive interface for a user's data.

"When it comes to capturing ideas, staying organized, creating sketches, or writing things down, Boxes has you covered" Fishington Studios' CEO Chris Flammer stated. "We are especially excited to provide iPad users with the ability to share, edit and collaborate together within the application". For each box a user creates, they have the ability to assign other users of the app as collaborators to that box. Each collaborator can then edit and contribute to the boxes content. Since the app uses cloud based file storage, all changes are kept in sync between devices.

In addition to collaboration between users, Boxes also offers a wide variety of practical consolidation features. According to Flammer "Boxes users no longer need separate apps for typing, sketching, recording audio or making to do lists, as Boxes has all of those features available in one notebook ". The application sports the ability to create five different types of pages within each notebook. These range from typewritten notes, freehand drawing/sketching and to-do lists to an extremely useful mapping feature.

This application is perfect for the working professional who wants to collaborate on a business project with team members or for students who need to share and edit class notes. Useful in almost any situation, separate boxes can also be made for personal journals, to-do lists, sketchbooks, meeting notes and much more.

With cutting edge technology, Boxes was designed specifically for the new retina display and features professionally created graphics. The boxes and notebooks are also customizable, allowing users to personalize and make the app their own. Lastly, the app is available in over 35 different languages.

Language Support:
English, Bokmal, Norwegian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Vietnamese
