Nacogdoches, Texas - Dr. Michael Roach, a former university professor and the creator of several apps and ebooks guiding users through Photoshop, has announced the release of "Adobe Photoshop CS6: A Tutorial for Beginners."

Roach, who taught photography at Stephen F. Austin University for 33 years, decided to create his Photoshop tutorials to give users an easy way to learn the program and its various tools.

Players control one or more furry firefighters, battling to put out one blaze after another by figuring out how to get their water streams around obstacles & onto fires. Each level gives gamers a birds-eye view of an inferno whose many parts are hidden.

Seoul, Korea - Hotdog Studio, Inc., an emerging new mobile game developer, is excited today to announce the launch of Fire Busters onto the App Store. Compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, this game perfectly blends puzzle based gameplay with fast paced action fun as players control one or more furry firefighters and battle to put out one blaze after another started by none other than the villainous Arson Cat! Each level gives gamers a birds-eye view of an inferno whose many parts are hidden behind various obstacles.

To boot, the game is set to get even bigger in the near future with the addition of a special Halloween stage featuring 16 ghastly themed levels in the coming month too!

iCurrency Plus - get rates via push notifications - now iPhone 5 ready - Published on 10/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Limited Securities today announces iCurrency Plus 1.3 for iOS, an update to their Finance app that allows users to easily track currency values from more than 150 different currencies listed. The update leverages iOS 6 and it is optimized for iPhone 5. This is the only application in the App Store that provide currencies notifications on your iPhone Lock Screen and in the Notification Center; allowing you to receive important changes in the currency pairs of your choice.

Tokyo, Japan - Limited Securities today is pleased to announce iCurrency Plus 1.3 for iOS, an update to their Finance app that allows users to easily track currency values from more than 150 different currencies listed as well as precious and industrial metals. The update leverages iOS 6 and it is optimized for iPhone 5. This is the only application in the App Store that allow users to see currency rates in the Lock Screen or in the Notification Center. Even with the app closed, or the phone locked, users can see the latest rates of their selected currency pairs. The app provides real-time updates for both traders and individuals.

Because there are many good reasons to track currency rates besides investing, iCurrency Plus has been designed to provide real-time information for both individuals and investors. Whether users are following a particular currency pair in anticipation of an upcoming trip, getting the best rate possible for this month shipment abroad, or tracking long-term trends as part of portfolio management, the app supplies immediate, authoritative numbers that are easy to access anytime, anywhere.

With the latest update of iCurrency Plus users can set up two different types of notifications. Selecting "Show Price in Notification Area" allows users to get up to date information on the currency rate changes in the Notification Center, no matter what the currency rate is. Alternatively, selecting "Performance Notifications" sends recipients notifications about a change of a rate when its performance has decreased or increased more than a pre-defined percentage over a period of time.

Feature Highlights:
* See currency rates in the Notification Center
* Add currency pairs of choice (not only currencies versus the USD)
* See the change in value over a period of time of your choice
* Get notified in the app if this change is larger than a percentage you choose
* The same notification can be sent via push: no other app has this
* See several graphs to check trends: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly; all in one screen
* Convert prices on the spot, quite useful if you are traveling with the newly designed Calculator
* More than 150 currencies listed, precious and industrial metals
* Intuitive interface, very easy to use
* Currencies can be added per request on the fly, no need to update the application

In this version users can even get the latest rates on the currencies of their choice on the Lock Screen of their devices. The first notification displayed after the phone is locked comes up as a bubble with the notification message. Should the user receive many notifications, they are displayed in a scrolling list on the Lock Screen. In both cases, sliding the icon on the notification from left to right opens the app where additional charts and details can be viewed.

Finally, iCurrency Plus includes an integrated, completely redesigned, Currency Calculator function to instantly convert any amount of one currency into another. All functions has been optimized to look better in the beatiful iPhone 5 larger screen.

"If continual updates and quick access of currencies is important to you, I think you will find no other app on the App Store that provides it as easily and effectively as iCurrency Plus," stated Miguel Mateo on behalf of Limited Securities. "I also believe that Apple's new Notification Center is already changing the way people receive and respond to different events throughout the day."

Language Support:
* U.S. English, Italian, and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 6 tested)
* Internet connection required

Appsoft Studio Revolutionizes Image Slicing Tool with Image Slices App - Published on 10/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Appsoft Studio announces Image Slices 1.0 for Mac OS X, an app that reinvents and simplifies the process of slicing images into triangular, diamond or other shapes. Slicing is a common feature in image editing applications and helps to divide images into smaller pieces to incorporate them into web pages, iWork applications and more. Slicing helps to print separate pieces of huge posters or charts in the original size. It can also provide great material for photo collages and other graphic works.

Kaunas, Lithuania - Appsoft Studio - the developer of catchy, simple to use and fascinating design apps - announced Image Slices app. The application simplifies the process of slicing pictures into triangular, diamond or other shapes. Smaller pieces let you incorporate them into web pages or iWork applications like Keynote, Pages and Numbers. In addition, the app allows the user to print pieces of huge posters in the original size even on your home printer or print sliced images with dotted lines for cutting them by hand. Furthermore, it provides you with a great material for photo collages and other graphic work on paper or canvas.

"Image Slices reinvented the slicing process and made it much easier and faster. It simplifies the "Slice Tool" that is available in most of well-known image editing applications and this is what makes it so useful for many people," says Eugenijus Valinskas, project manager at Appsoft Studio.

The cornerstone feature of Image Slices is dividing pictures into smaller pieces. Slicing is available in rectangular, triangular, diamond and brick-layout shapes. Every slice is saved in numerical order to allow the quick search of a particular piece. Slicing opens a whole new way for improvisations using logos, icons or menu elements in a website. Everyone can slice the logo or other elements and combine it with gaps. Additionally, using only a part of the sliced picture can make your website load faster.

Print feature allows printing huge posters, charts, maps or plans in the original size even with the regular printer. Every slice can be printed separately and maintain its original size in this way. Dotted lines that divide an image into slices and prepare it for cutting by hand after printing can also provide some great material for various graphic works.

Image Slices works great in full screen mode, which enables you to view and slice images in a more convenient way. The application supports up to 410 slices in a single picture and requires just a 64-bit Mac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 or later.

System Requirements:
* Requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 1.0 MB

Spectrum Analyzer 1.0 for iOS - Comprehensive, Low-Cost, Audio Analysis - Published on 10/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ONYX Apps today introduces Spectrum Analyzer 1.0 for iOS, their low-cost, audio analysis app with 3 built-in functions: Octave Band RTA, FFT Plot, and Spectrograph. Designed to exploit the advanced capabilities of iOS 6, the app features a Test Tone and White/Pink Noise Generator, numerous controls for each function, and precision measurement accurate to 1 Hz. The app accommodates input from the device's internal mic, headphone jack line-in, or optional USB connector.

Sofia, Bulgaria - ONYX Apps today is pleased to introduce Spectrum Analyzer 1.0 for iOS, their low-cost, audio analysis app with 3 built-in functions: Octave Band RTA, FFT Plot, and Spectrograph. Designed to exploit the advanced capabilities of iOS 6, the app features a Test Tone and White/Pink Noise Generator, numerous on-screen controls for each function, touch-sensitive frequency graphs, digital readout of multiple bands, and precision measurement accurate to 1 Hz. The app accommodates input from the device's internal mic, headphone jack line-in, or optional USB connector. Use of an external, omnidirectional, testing mic is recommended. Ideal for room tuning or speaker tuning, Spectrum Analyzer enables portable, affordable, precision audio testing and measurement.

Spectrum Analyzer for iOS Functions:
* Octave Band RTA (Real-Time Analyzer) - splits the audible range into frequency bands. It supports ISO Octave bands from Full to 1/6 Octave (10, 30, or 60). Configuration options include: FFT Size (2048, 4096, 8192, or 16384), Decay Mode (Fast, Slow, Infinite, or Average), and Peak Tracking (Off, Auto, or Peak Hold). Two graphics modes are supported: Classic mode, where bands are drawn as simple bars; and Modern mode, where the whole spectrum is represented by a colorful analog graph (continuous visible light spectrum from red to violet). Other options include: Draggable Cursor, Left, Right, and L+R modes when stereo input is used. Vertical scroll is used to adjust the dB scale offset (visible range).
* FFT Plot (Fast Fourier Transform) - plots real-time raw spectrum graph. It is useful for detailed analysis and isolating particular frequencies. Options include FFT Size, Averaging Mode, Logarithmic or Linear Frequency Scale, and FFT Window function (Hamming, Blackman, or Rectangular). Again, Cursors, Peak Tracking, and dB offset are supported, as well as input channel selection.
* Spectrograph - plots Frequency over Time Spectrograms of surrounding sounds, music, etc. It can be used to reveal images "hidden" in sound. Options include Decade or Linear Scale, Speed, and Gain adjustment. Several Color Palettes are available suiting different applications.

In comparison to similar offerings on the App Store, Spectrum Analyzer has several distinct advantages. First, it has been designed from the ground up to take full advantage of the newest features and capabilities of iOS 6. Second, it is a completely integrated app. Users do not need to purchase different apps for different measurements - all 3 digital audio analysis modules are included and work together. Third, there are no plug-ins or in-app purchases available or required. The app is complete and self-contained. Fourth, Spectrum Analyzer is among the least expensive audio analysis apps available. Fifth, the app harnesses the computational and graphical power of its host iDevice to provide precision, real-time readouts that are smooth and responsive. Sixth, the app can be used with an external mic via the headphone jack or through an optional USB connector available via Apple's camera connection kit. Seventh, and last, the integrated app incorporates outstanding ergonomics that
allow effortless movement between functions with the right hand thumb, touch controls, multiple digital readouts, draggable graph cursors with numeric readouts, and high-resolution Retina display graphics.

Feature Highlights:
* Precision RTA, FFT, and Spectrograph
* Retina display ready
* Digital signal processing and advanced algorithms provide accuracy to 1 Hz
* Built-in Test Tone and White/Pink Noise Generator
* Accepts internal or external mic inputs
* Measures audible frequencies from 20 Hz to 22 kHz

"Whether you are an audiophile, music producer, musician, audio/recording engineer, acoustician, or just interested in the world of sound, Spectrum Analyzer offers invaluable measurement capabilities and interactive learning," commented Eugene Klein of ONYX Apps. "You'll be impressed by the app's integrated functions, accuracy, ease of use, hi-res graphics, and comparatively low cost."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad 1/2/3
* Requires iOS 6
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 9.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Spectrum Analyzer 1.0 for iOS is $14.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category. Review copies are available on request.
