Photobook+ 1.2 - Now Considerably Improved and For Only 99 Cents - Published on 09/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The app Photobook+ creates beautiful photo albums directly on the iPad. Users select one of 47 professional layouts to design a lasting memory of their summer vacation. Users may add comments, map sections, a date, and even the local weather. The new version 1.2 offers a full-screen presentation mode, a Drag and Drop option, as well as a new multi-selection feature - making the app more than easy to operate.

Montabaur, Germany - Marco Metting announces Photobook+ 1.2 for iPad. Summer vacation is over and once again digital photos are piling up. What now? More and more people are simply giving up on actually pasting pictures into the traditional photo album.

A great alternative is the iPad app Photobook+. It imports images from the iPad library or gets them directly from the iPhone via iCloud or Fotostream. The best pictures may be incorporated into digital photo albums, of which Photobook+ creates and manages any number.

Feature Highlights:
* iPad app Photobook+ 1.2 generates virtual photo albums
* 47 preset page layouts
* Displays photos, maps, drawings, texts and more
* Apply a swiping motion to scroll through the photo album right on the screen
* Share photo albums via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail
* Supports the retina resolution of the new iPad
* New: Full screen presentation mode
* New: Drag & Drop to rearrange elements
* New: Multi-selection feature
* New: Add and delete pages
* New: New backup mechanism
* Special Offer: $0.99 USD instead of $2.99

Images are easily inserted into one of the 47 preset layouts. A preview lets the user quickly decide on the right design to accommodate the latest shots from the Maldives diving holiday, the Paris city tour or the cross country adventure through the United States. Photos may be labeled and provided with a date. Drawings, a map section or weather conditions are smoothly added. The result is a number of exceptionally staged double pages, to be viewed right on the iPad - on the iPad 3 even in retina resolution. A swiping gesture lets the user turn the pages - just like in a real photo album.

The finished photo albums can be saved in a backup, send as a PDF by e-mail, shared with friends through Facebook and Twitter, printed via Air-Print or admired "in large" on TV. Furthermore, the app can establish the Geo-Code of the images and record the same on the world map. This way someone is able to track all the places he has visited so fare.

Photobook+ 1.2 ia a new version with many improvements. Marco Metting, responsible for the development of the app: "Following the release of the app during the summer holidays, users have sent us an incredible amount of feedback. Included were many requests, of which a large number could be implemented into the new version 1.2."

* Full-screen Presentation Mode: from now on the open photo album can be enlarged, displaying pages in the full screen mode. Additionally, the date and weather bar may be hidden.

* Drag & Drop: marked photo elements may now be replaced with a quick finger gesture. Editing the photo album by utilizing Drag & Drop is easier than ever before.

* Multi-selection of photos: With the new version, multiple images may be selected all at once to mark them for import into the photo album,

* Change the number of pages: for the first time Photobook 1.2 lets the user add or delete individual pages from the photo album.

* New Backup Mode: the backup mode has been improved. Photo albums are being saved and may be easily restored if necessary.

Language Support:
English, French, German, Spanish

Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
* 17.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Photobook+ 1.2 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) for a limited time and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Kalah in Africa 1.0 for iOS - Count and Capture Game for 2 Players - Published on 09/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Aggressive Development today introduces Kalah in Africa 1.0 for iOS, their version of the popular board game Kalah. Two players start with 36 seeds, 6 in each of the small pits in a row in front of them. A large pit, or Kalah, is to the right of each player. Players take turns removing all the seeds from one of their pits and distributing them one at a time counter clockwise, winning when they capture more seeds than their opponent. Players must invite a friend or be matched on Game Center.

Gothenburg, Sweden - Aggressive Development today is pleased to introduce Kalah in Africa 1.0 for iOS, their version of the internationally popular board game Kalah. Two players start with 36 seeds, 6 in each of the small pits or depressions in a row in front of them. A large pit/bowl, or Kalah, is to the right of each player. Players take turns removing all the seeds from one of their pits and distributing them one at a time counter clockwise into any of the 12 pits or their own Kalah. Gameplay requires that the player invite a friend or be matched on Game Center.

Feature Highlights:
* Ancient Egyptian seed game
* Count and capture to collect the most seeds in your Kalah (bowl)
* Turn-based play requires tactical and strategic thinking
* Invite a friend or be matched on Game Center
* Internationally popular game where the winner is not determined until the final moments of gameplay

Played in landscape orientation, and featuring a handsome, redwood gameboard, Kalah in Africa includes a decorative pit in the middle of the board in the shape of the African continent. Seeds are in circular pits, also called houses or bowls. The two Kalahs are much larger, capable of holding 36 to 72 seeds. An easy game from ancient Egypt, players count and capture to build up seeds in their own Kalah. When one player has no seeds remaining in any of his 6 houses, gameplay ends (with all remaining seeds going to the opponents Kalah), and the player with the most seeds wins.

As in many challenging, strategic games, the rules of Kalah are simple.

Rules of Kalah:
* The goal of Kalah is to get the most seeds in your Kalah
* Your Kalah is the big bowl to the right
* Players take turns moving (extra turns are possible)
* During their turn, players select one bowl, and all of its seeds are distributed counter clockwise, one in each bowl, except for the opponent's Kalah
* If the last seed players drop ends up in their Kalah, the player gets a free turn
* If the last seed players drop ends up in an empty bowl on their side, they win that seed, plus all the seeds in the bowl directly opposite on their opponent's side of the board

Like chess and checkers, Kalah is a logical game where players try to optimize their current and future positions. When computers play such a game, they generate a game tree (e.g., Bj�rn Myrvold's Kalaha Game). The first ply consists of all the legal moves available to the first player. The second ply consists of all possible counter-moves by the second player. In Kalah, there is a maximum of 6 legal moves per turn. A 2-ply search requires the evaluation of 36 possible end positions, while a 4-ply search (4 half moves ahead) generates 1,296 end positions. Beyond the capacity of human Kalah players, games must be won through intelligent, selective searches and winning strategies.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S, iPod touch (3rd/4th generation), and iPad 1/2/3
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 27.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Kalah in Africa 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

iPhone 5 Is available: How to securely erase your device before selling - Published on 09/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ProtectStar Inc. today announces iShredder Pro 2.0.3, an update to their popular secure erase utility for iOS. Like an industrial grade paper shredder, the app offers military-grade security and will overwrite the free storage space of the device, according to the guidelines of the government services. For Business and government users, there is also a state-of-the-art deletion report as a PDF file available as an In-App-Purchase or decide for iShredder 2 Enterprise edition.

Miami, Florida - The iPhone 5 hits the stores today and a great number of Apple fans will immediately purchase the current all-round hardware. But what to do with the old iPhone model? It is often given away or sold.

The problem: even though the devices are small, they often contain a staggering amount of personal data. Photos, videos, appointments, addresses, e-mails with sensitive content, internet links as well as private records from app store downloads.

Before you sell your iPhone you'll need to make sure that all your personal files on it have been blitzed beyond recovery, without a trace. It's simple to restore supposedly deleted files from the memory on your device. iShredder is like an Industrial Grade paper shredder, which goes beyond international security standards. The iOS app is easy to use and includes free technical support. iShredder surpasses international standards used by state and military organizations, in secure file deletion, with a wide selection of tried-and-trusted state-of-the-art wiping algorithms. The new iShredder app is also ready for the iPhone 5 with a display resolution of 1136x640 pixels.

It takes just five simple steps to overwrite the free space to make your iPhone ready to give it away:
* First, backup your old iPhone so that you have the latest backup ready for iPhone 5
* Second, Go to Settings -> General -> choose "Erase All Content and Settings"
* Third, configure the AppStore and download ProtectStar iShredder Pro app
* Fourth, select a secure wipe method and start the deletion process
( Fifth, do again the 2nd step.

Each algorithm has been analyzed by authorities and independent organizations to make sure it really does what it claims. Data destruction that cannot be recovered. With identity theft on the rise, have peace of mind knowing none of your private data will fall into the wrong hands.

Depending on the edition, the iShredder package comes with deletion algorithms such as DoD 5220.22-M E, US Air Force (AFSSI-5020), US Army AR380-19, DoD 5220.22-M ECE, BSI/VS-ITR TL-03423 Standard, German BSI-VS-2011, NATO Standard, Gutmann, HMG InfoSec No.5, DoD 5220.22 SSD, US Air Force, US Navy NAVSO and more.

For Business and government users, there is also a state-of-the-Art deletion report as a pdf file available as an In-App-Purchase or decide for iShredder 2 Enterprise edition which comes with all necessary features for enterprise customers.

Language Support:
* English, German, Portuguese and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 4.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ProtectStar iShredder Pro 2.0.3 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) for a limited time and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. After September 24, 2012, the app will be $4.99.

A Picture Purr-fect Mobile App Helps Increase Animal Adoption Rates - Published on 09/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DoSomething.org is putting the bite back in the fight for homeless shelter animals with their new release of the Pics for Pets app for iOS and Android. Now teens and animal lovers alike can use their mobile devices to become a shelter fur-tographer by uploading pictures of worthy shelter animals in their communities, or they can share other shelter animals across the country. The ultimate goal is to increase shelter animal adoption rates.

New York, New York - DoSomething.org launches its first campaign-focused mobile app for iOS and Android. DoSomething.org is putting the bite back in the fight for homeless shelter animals with their new release of the Pics for Pets app for iOS and Android. Now teens and animal lovers alike can use their mobile devices to become a shelter fur-tographer by uploading pictures of worthy shelter animals in their communities, or they can share other shelter animals across the country. The ultimate goal is to increase shelter animal adoption rates.

This mobile app was created in conjunction with DoSomething.org's Pics for Pets campaign, a nationwide animal adoption campaign on Facebook. With the help of campaign spokesperson and world-renowned photographer, Nigel Barker, Pics for Pets aims to increase adoption rates in shelters through teens, their mobile phone cameras and Facebook, while saving some adorable animals' lives in the process. AOL is also supporting the cause by spreading the word about the campaign to their enormous audience.

These parties have joined together because every year, approximately 5-7 million companion animals enter shelters nationwide, and approximately 3-4 million are euthanized simply because they are not adopted. One big reason why these animals aren't adopted is due to sub-par pictures. Users can up take those sub-par pictures up a notch, by downloading the Pics for Pets mobile app and becoming a fur-tographer.

"Utilizing something that teens are already experts in (sharing photos on Facebook), we are hoping to show people that their next potential pet can be the cute animal down the street at their local shelter" says Greg Thomas, Campaigns Manager at DoSomething.org. "It only made sense to turn this wonderful campaign into a mobile app on both iOS and Android - especially since a recent Nielsen study suggests 58% of American teens 13-17 now own smartphones."

Feature Highlights:
* Hundreds of animals you can share via Facebook to help get adopted
* Instructions on how to become a Fur-tographer and save a shelter animal's life yourself
* Easy shelter locator
* Use your Camera to take pictures and upload to the app right from the shelter
* Instructional guide to help you learn how to use the app
* Prizing both for humans--a $10,000 scholarship--and the shelter animals (gift cards for toys, food, and bedding if the animal hits a certain level of shares)

At DoSomething.org, we love teens. They are creative, active, wired...and frustrated that our world is so messed up. DoSomething.org harnesses that awesome energy and unleashes it on causes teens care about. Almost every week, we launch a new national campaign. The call to action is always something that has a real impact and doesn't require money, an adult, or a car. With a goal of 5 million active members by 2015, DoSomething.org is one of the largest organizations in the US for teens and social change. Join us at www.DoSomething.org.
