iDecorate Free for iOS: Create Original Art Arranging Stamps Backgrounds - Published on 08/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Developer Joe Macirowski today announces iDecorate 3.2 free for iOS, an update to his app that lets users create original scenes of nature, wildlife, outer space, and more. The app includes 44 Hi-Res, computer generated, background environments rendered in 3D, plus more than 600 photorealistic objects/stamps, which can be placed in any scene. Users control selection, placement, number, layering, size, and mirroring of stamps, arranging elements to create art that is Retina display compatible.

Highland Park, New Jersey - Indie developer Joe Macirowski today is pleased to announce iDecorate 3.2 free for iOS, an update to his app that lets users create original scenes of nature, wildlife, outer space, and more. The app includes 44 Hi-Res, computer generated, background environments rendered in 3D, plus more than 600 photorealistic objects/stamps, which can be placed in any scene. Users control selection, placement, number, layering, size, and mirroring of stamps, arranging all the graphic elements to create dramatic, original art that can be saved, shared, or printed. A universal app with Retina display compatibility, iDecorate is the ideal way to explore design, perspective, color, composition, and other principles of the graphic arts.

Not everyone has the talent, skill, and ability to create photorealistic, 3D, computer generated artwork. However, everyone has an innate creative drive and desire for self-expression; iDecorate has been designed for these would-be artists. It allows users to explore all but the most fundamental issues of artistic expression and design through a non-threatening interface that invites users of all skill levels to make 3D pictures.

Feature Highlights:
* Express your creativity by arranging stamps in a scene to create original art
* Photorealistic, 3D environments and objects
* Fill the graveyard with ghosts, or the swamp with Big Foot
* Create scenes in outer space with aliens, planets, and astronauts
* Landscape a placid mountain lake with trees, flowers, and grasses
* iPad with Retina display supports canvases 3840x2560 and stamps up to 2048x2048
* Continually updated backgrounds and stamps

The app includes a wide variety of meticulously wire-framed, textured, lighted, and rendered 3D background environments. There are autumn forests, mountain lakes, moonlit prairies, and snow covered mountains. Also included are more fantastical environments, like a dark graveyard, Earth from space, a foggy swamp, and Devils Tower in Wyoming. The app also allows artists to import their own photos to use as backgrounds.

Individual stamps, 3D objects, can be used in a scene as many times as desired, and they are applied with a single touch. Stamps can be moved anywhere on the canvas, and can be adjusted in size from invisible to larger than the screen. Categories of stamps include Nature (rocks, trees, flowers, birds, lightning, stars, comets, and moons); SciFi (Sun, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, astronaut, alien, and flying saucer); Fall (trees with turning leaves, individual leaves, and piles of leaves); Halloween (ghost ship, vampire, raven, ghost, cauldron, pumpkin, and gravestone); and Winter (icicle, polar bear, penguin, snowflake, candy cane, Christmas stocking, Christmas tree, lights and ornaments). Dinosaurs, Dragons, Animals, and Trees & Foliage can be unlocked through an in-app purchase.

"We all love to create. But sometimes a blank canvas and a brush isn't the best way," commented developer Joe Macirowski. "Arranging a scene is just as important as drawing it. iDecorate lets you arrange and place an ever growing array of artwork on dozens of pre-rendered backgrounds (or use your own!)"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S, iPod touch (3rd/4th generation), and iPad 1/2/3
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 681.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
iDecorate 3.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. With an in-app purchase Dinosaurs are $1.99, Dragons are $0.99. With any purchase, users also get uncategorized extras (plants, some common animals) that really add realism to scenes.

Food Porn At Your Fingertips - Published on 08/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DishClips introduces DishClips 1.0 for iOS, the largest video library of restaurant dishes. DishClips is the first iPhone app that enables diners to capture and share their food experience. This revolutionary concept gives users a visual peek at food dishes, as uploaded by other foodies and allows users to upload their own videos. Users select the restaurant or meal type and view 17 second HD quality video clips of dishes at restaurants. It is a foodie's Instagram, but with video.

Newport Beach, California - It's Saturday night and getting late. You're alone and dateless and starting to get that itch. You log on and start searching. And then there it is: Juicy, hot and steaming - in full color - close up and personal. Yes, you've landed on DishClips - food porn delivered to your phone.

DishClips is the first and only iPhone app that enables you to share videos of your food experience at local restaurants. This California start-up has found the most visual way for food lovers across the nation to discover and share dishes from their favorite restaurants. Whether at a popular metropolitan cafe or a hidden gem in a quaint location, DishClips is on a mission to find the perfect dishes for food lovers everywhere. Founded in 2011, DishClips already boasts the largest ever collected library of restaurant food videos.

DishClips is releasing a free iPhone app on August 27th, which offers HD quality video clips of dishes at restaurants and enables diners to upload their own. What does this mean to you? Next time you're hungry (which will be soon), you can log on and take an actual look at what's on the menu. You select the restaurant or meal type and the HD video gives you a 17 second foodgasm. This goes far beyond reading some quote about how the Pad Thai was tasty. This is like Instagram or Pinterest for food lovers - except in video, edible and delicious. People eat food and post the video. You see the video. You like what you see. You go to the same restaurant and eat the same dish. It's like food and video got married and shared their honeymoon photos with you.

Why would you share your dinner? "Because people love good food," explains DishClips founder Tan Rezaei. "Food is communal, meant to be shared. People are always looking for new restaurants asking friends and colleagues for suggestions and when you find something wonderful, you want to share. We've made the sharing quick, fun, and extremely visual." As technology develops more and more people are learning about food via Internet, apps, and blogs. It allows people who are naturally social eaters to share their dining experience, post stories, and create meaningful content they can trust. What really is the next step for food lovers, or dare I say, foodies? The answer is simple: Share your dishes - make other foodies happy. And if that's not enough, this app allows users to earn points and redeem them for deals from their favorite restaurants, simply by uploading and sharing videos. Free dessert with my meal? Don't mind if I do.

Still not enough? DishClips is giving a way a $500 Apple gift card to the person who uploads the most DishClips between now and September 30th 2012. See the DishClips site for contest details.

Hungry for this revolutionary app to be in every city across the country? Wait no longer and look no further. Download the free application from the iTunes app store and start sharing today. Worry not droid users, the Android app will be available for you later this year! Be a part of the DishClips mission to revolutionize the way people discover, experience, and share their food and local restaurants.

So, what's for dinner tonight?

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 8.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
DishClips 1.0 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Food & Drink category.

Gadget Girls Hot for Apple Review iPhone and iPad Apps at iLeak - Published on 08/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The tech-savvy gadget girls for iLeak are now reviewing the latest iPhone and iPad apps. Their video app reviews are cogent, honest, entertaining, and sexy smart, filled with plenty of iCandy. Bringing a fresh perspective to the Apple community, iLeak's staff is comprised of smart and passionate gadget girls all hot for Apple products. iLeak gives equal attention to both mainstream and indie releases, reviewing apps that are unique, helpful, or truly entertaining.

Los Angeles, California - The gadget girls for iLeak, a resource dedicated to all leaks, news, and reviews for Apple products, are now reviewing the latest iPhone and iPad apps. Bringing a fresh perspective to the Apple community, iLeak's staff is comprised of smart and passionate gadget girls all hot for Apple products.

Speaking about the difference between iLeak's reviews and other Apple-focused sites, Editor-in-Chief Grace Chen expounded, "Most iPhone and iPad review videos in the community are one-dimensional, meaning you often only see a man's burly fingers swiping away at the screen. Our gadget girls bring app reviews to an entirely new level, giving you plenty of iCandy in the process. Most importantly, we are all avid Apple users and review the iPhone and iPad apps with candor and expertise."

iLeak gives equal attention to both mainstream and indie releases, reviewing apps that are unique, helpful, or truly entertaining. Each iPhone or iPad app review is analyzed based upon a myriad of factors, including value, execution, and concept. From reviewing the latest pickup lines app and female-fun vibrating release to serious ones focused on fitness or productivity, iLeak's gadget girls cover the gamut of apps to uncover the treasures in the crowded app market.

"In my prior role as the editor of one of the oldest, most established iPhone app review sites, I realized there were so many apps that deserved more attention and exposure than screen shots and hairy male fingers," Chen further explains. "With our fabulous and hot gadget girls, we frame iPhone and iPad apps with reviews that are just as colorful, entertaining, and fun as the apps themselves."

iLeak reviews several iPhone and iPad apps each day through its website and YouTube channel. Developers are welcome to submit their apps for review consideration.

Established as the only Apple news and reviews site staffed by female tech enthusiasts, iLeak brings a fresh perspective to the industry.
