Magican Provides an Automated, All-in-one Mac Healthcare Service - Published on 09/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Magican Software announce Magican, their product that helps people across the globe improve their overall user experience with their Mac. Magican helps Mac users to maintain their Mac in all-rounds, such as cleaning their Mac to enlarge disk and system space, monitoring system status in real time, detecting and removing Trojans to protect their Mac. It provides an always-on, automated, all-in-one Mac healthcare service with anti-Trojans, performance tune-ups, and system cleaning capabilities.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands - Representatives with a British Virgin Island-based company announce today that it has released a new cleaning software in which they say is guaranteed to instantly improve the user experience of all Mac owners.

"Magican helps Mac users to maintain their Mac in all-rounds, such as cleaning their Mac to enlarge disk and system space, monitoring system status in real time, detecting and removing Trojans to protect their Mac," said Kerry, PR manager of Magican, an app that has been downloaded by more than 200,000 users and updated 26 times since October, 2011.

Kerry explained that Magican provides an always-on, automated, all-in-one Mac healthcare service with anti-Trojans, performance tune-ups, and system cleaning capabilities. "Magican is a comprehensive security and performance solution that takes care of it all, and the best part about it is that it's free," Kerry stressed.

The launching of the new software could prove to have perfect timing. According to a recent study, conducted by NDP group, an industry leader in market research, consumer trends, and statistics, consumers opting for a Mac instead of a PC has spiked more than 42 percent over the past 24 months and is expected to continue an upward spiral through 2020.

One Magican user identified as Alimy described the software as the best app for cleaning and optimizing a Mac. "Magican is without a doubt the easiest and best cleaner imaginable," Alimy said, before adding, "This fine bit of software sure saved me a lot of time cleaning out 9.9 GB of useless trash that I would have spent weeks sorting through all files. This truly is a great product."

Kerry noted that part of the reason why Magican is so effective is due to its unique capabilities and features, which include: The Mac scanner, clean up Mac, security center, stat monitor, software center, toolbox, and hardware.

The Mac scanner, Kerry said, equips users with what it calls a One-Click To Scan useless files. This app, according to Kerry, helps scan useless files for Mac OS X, like duplicate files, system logs and caches, useless binary, redundant languages and the app's left-over.

It also has a One-Click To Clean files, where Magican helps to clean up those useless files in one-click. When it comes to cleaning, Magican has Clean Logs and Caches, where Magican helps cleanup all unneeded system logs and caches.

"Users can speed up their Mac in one-click or optionally delete some specific apps," Kerry said. "It also has the Duplicate Files Remover, where the software lists all duplicate files for users to easily find. However, users can still remove them to clean their Mac for better Mac performance."

Magican's security features give users the ability to quickly scan for the virus on their Mac and then remove the virus and related files in seconds.

According to Kerry, there's also a Custom Scan feature where Magican scans for the specific files or folders. The unselected files will not be detected. In addition, Magican has a stat monitor which allows users to monitor system data in real time. "Magican will monitor the Mac with pictorial symbols for users, like the CPU stat, disk stat, memory stat, sensor stat and network speed," Kerry said. "Magican displays the entire running process and users can stop each app that's running in one-click."

New York, New York - Top-quality mobile ad network Blu Trumpet is pleased to announce the release of their inaugural API for its popular app-recommendation wall. The API will fuel faster app deployments, enabling developers to unlock the Blu Trumpet monetization proposition that delivers an effective 15% click-through rate, while keeping their apps simple and robust.

The API empowers developers with increased control over the presentation of the app recommendations, as well as the flexibility to create a custom look that aligns with their respective brands.

Blu Trumpet CEO Nina Sodhi commented: "The new API takes our ad network to the next level, increasing speed to market and monetization opportunities for developers, publishers and advertisers. Over the past year we have seen extraordinary response to the app recommendation wall. Mobile users are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and publishers need solutions that drive discovery and monetization with ease and elegance." The release marks a new phase of growth for Blu Trumpet.

As a mark of appreciation for the developers who partner with Blu Trumpet for this new phase, the company is offering a pair of NFL TICKETS for the first developer who deploys the API before September 15th, 2012. For full details and to enter the contest, email Blu Trumpet.

Kanji Assault Gives Students of Japanese a New Option - Published on 09/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

An intense approach to motivate students learning Japanese, Kanji Assault is now available for iOS and Android devices. Engaging lessons and intense mini-games stress accuracy and repetition for students to quickly build speed in identifying single Kanji characters. Reaction time and responses determine the next test characters, ensuring that users are continuously challenged. Single character skills are then applied to the most commonly encountered compound Kanji in Japanese texts, signs, and newspapers.

Chatan, Japan - Kanji characters have long been an uphill battle for foreign residents and students of Japanese. While there is no difficulty in finding too much information with a simple Google search, many students struggle to effectively attack the mountains of knowledge. The developers at Uchinasoft accepted this challenge last summer and are now pleased to announce: Kanji Assault 1.0.

Engaging lessons and intense mini-games stress accuracy and repetition for students to quickly build speed in identifying single Kanji characters. Reaction time and responses determine the next test characters, ensuring that users are continuously challenged. Single character skills are then applied to the most commonly encountered compound Kanji in Japanese texts, signs, and newspapers. Candidates for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test will find the lesson order remarkably similar to the test structure and the four thousand vocabulary words included are covered across all levels of the exam.

Now there's a way to figure out what those acronyms, abbreviations or codes, AAC for short, really mean. Acro-Dict is an app available on the App Store. Acro-Dict does all the hard work by combining every conceivable AAC into one user friendly app.

Feature Highlights:
* Offline database (no Internet connection required)
* Regular updates
* 31 categories
* Over 58000 entries (~30% less in free version)

Puffer Game delivers Help for Historic Trains - Published on 09/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shelly Data Doodles announces a special event, "Help Save Historic Trains." In the month of September, half their proceeds from sales of the family friendly puzzle game "Puffer's Train Challenge" will directly support two Historic railways - the Nevada Northern Railway and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Puffer's Train Challenge presents increasingly challenging train puzzles to be solved using either Zen mode or Star mode, an online competitive format.

Kent, Washington - In conjunction with the new version 1.5.5 update of Puffer's Train Challenge, Shelly Data Doodles announces a very special event, "Help Save Historic Trains."

The love of Historic train lines helped create our collection of family friendly Puffer Train apps. While playing "Puffer's Train Challenge" users are treated to images from two of our favorite Historic trains; the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in Chama, New Mexico. We created this special event "Help Save Historic Trains" as a way for Puffer Train fans around the world to help support and preserve these two Historic railways. In the month of September, half of all our proceeds from sales of the iPhone puzzle game "Puffer's Train Challenge" will directly support these two railways.

"Historic steam trains like the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada are more than just a U.S. national treasure; they provide joy and education to train fans around the world! We're especially excited about this September's "Help Save Historic Trains" event sponsored by the 'Puffer's Train Challenge' iPhone App because it creates a great opportunity for train fans around the world to learn more about the Nevada Northern Railway. Anyone purchasing this train puzzle game in September will help preserve these unique and Historic trains." Mark S. Bassett, Executive Director, Nevada Northern Railway Museum

The 1.5.5 updates of "Puffer's Train Challenge" and "Puffer's Train Challenge Lite" include a new Special Events button that links directly to our Events page located at www.shellydata.com/events. That page provides details for both our current "Help Save Historic Trains" event and future special events from Shelly Data Doodles. Historic railways such as these are very expensive to run and to maintain. Our goal in releasing the 1.5.5 update of "Puffer's Train Challenge" has been to make it easy for players who love Historic Steam Trains to help preserve these treasures for generations to come.

The 1.5.5 update also provides individual buttons that link directly to the home webpage for each of these railways - affording Puffer Train fans with easy access to:

* Learn more about these trains
* Donate directly
* Book a ticket to ride along!

We are delighted to "give back" to these Historic trains that have already provided so much joy and pleasure to others. Thank you for purchasing "Puffer's Train Challenge" during the month of September. Together we all can "Help Save Historic Trains!"

iCopilot - Complete Guide to iOS6 for iPhone and iPad - Published on 09/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Now is the time to make that shiny iPhone or iPad earn it's keep. iCopilot is launching a complete course on the new iOS6 software that will be coming later this month for iPhone and iPad. If you have ever been confused by a menu, setting or default app, this course is for you. In-depth articles and hands on video tutorials will explain the process. Learn on-screen with one of iCopilot's instructors.

Modesto, California - iPhones and iPads are not cheap. 86% of those who own iPhones and iPads are not maximizing their potential to be more than an expensive phone and media player. Whether you just want to take and share photos or you would like to learn how to be more productive with your mobile devices, iCopilot is here to help.

iCopilot is launching their first course with the help of the Kickstarter Community. iOS6 Course for iPhone and iPad will help you understand every feature, setting, option and default app on your iPhone or iPad. There is a lot that these devices can do that you may not know about.

iCopilot's easy to understand instructional videos and articles will walk you through the step-by-step process to accomplish each task. After that, you will feel like one of those blue-shirt-wearing Genius'. It's the perfect way to learn at your own pace, on your own time. Best of all, you get access to our online catalogue wherever you are, so you can replay specific clips or even repeat the entire class if you like.

For as little as $20 a Kickstarter backer can get unlimited access to the iOS6 course which will launch with hours of video tutorials. Everything is mapped out in an easy to follow menu that will help you find the right video to accomplish any iOS6 task.

Why Kickstarter? We know that Kickstarter is full of early-adopter types who may already know how to use their iPhone and iPad just fine. However, each of those early-adopter types have parents and friends who are always asking questions about how to do certain things on their iPhones and iPads. That is where iCopilot comes in. In the coming months we will launch video courses that even the early-adopter types will have a hard time ignoring.

It's your iPhone. It goes everywhere you go. It's time you learn how to use it.

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. New in version 2.5 are enhanced graphics including switches for responding to Yes/No questions marked "Yes" and "No" instead of "On" and "Off"; quicker navigation from Determine Effects to Review Incidents; and multi-page printing
now includes headers and footers.

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?
