Sherlock Holmes 1 - Murder at the Diogenes Club #1 Game in Spain - Published on 10/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sherlock Holmes 1 - Murder at the Diogenes Club by newcomer developer AppEndix LLC entirely surprised the market by taking the Spanish iPad and iPhone charts in a storm, climbing to the No. 1 Game (all categories) and the No. 2 iPad App Overall (#6 iPhone) two days in a row! Numerous other Top 20 rankings in Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland) and an appearance in the Top 50 in the US complement the successful launch. Sherlock Holmes 1 is a book, and it's a game, and a clue-hunting adventure.

Guilford, Maine - Sherlock Holmes 1 - Murder at the Diogenes Club by newcomer developer AppEndix LLC is both: a book, in fact a complete novel in the best tradition of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, written by renowned gamebook author Gerald Lientz; and a game, in which you attempt to uncover the secret behind the gruesome Murder at the Diogenes Club with the help of the great Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Featuring a fully interactive interface with dice rolls, character sheet, sound effects and more, this unique app for the iPhone (including full screen compatibility with iPhone 5/iOS 6) and iPad is now available on the AppStore for just $0.99 USD! No annoying ads, no unlocking - pay a buck and own it!

Sherlock Holmes 1 is the first of eight Sherlock Holmes Solo Mysteries gamebooks by Iron Crown Enterprises to be published as interactive apps, including one title which was never available in English before. The app is universal (iPad/iPhone) and multi-language: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian/Portuguese are supported initially.

App Description:
Scandal shakes London's most exclusive men's club as Colonel Philip Sylvester lies murdered in the reading room. Can you uncover the murderer, the motive and the method? Is anyone among the respected but anti-social members a likely suspect? Can you rely upon Sherlock Holmes or his older (and some say "more accomplished") brother Mycroft for assistance?

YOU are the detective in this intriguing first "gamebook" of the Sherlock Holmes Solo Mysteries (TM) series. This gamebook also includes a second, complete mystery adventure, Irish Star. Two complete Holmes mystery adventures in one app!

What is a gamebook, you ask? A gamebook is unlike a regular book. In a regular book, you read one chapter after another, from 1 to 2 to 3. In a gamebook, at the end of chapter 1, you have to make a decision (or roll the dice, or both); and your decision and the results of your actions determine what chapter you read on from there. In this way, a gamebook does not present you with just one fixed storyline, but splits into dozens and sometimes hundreds of different outcomes. YOU determine how the story goes on. And no two plays are the same.

Feature Highlights:
* Dynamically adapting music
* Atmospheric sound effects
* Create your own detective or play the default character
* Fully automated character/clues sheet and your own digital notebook
* Automatically saves and resumes the story where you left off
* All gamebook rules: virtual animated dice, page flip and random number table
* All the original artwork from the printed book in HD
* Game Center Achievements
* VoiceOver compatible (listen to the text!)
* Supports full iPhone 5 screen
* iOS 6 compatible

Note: This gamebook is an original work. It is not the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Language Support:
* English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish

Device Requirements:
* 3/4/5 Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4/5 Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 139.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Sherlock Holmes 1 (v1.0) is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

With Angler Ally 1.0 for iOS, Boosting Fishing Success is No Fish Tale - Published on 10/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

inyago LLC today introduces Angler Ally 1.0 for iOS, a GPS-enabled app that boosts fishing success. Anglers can pinpoint the locations and weather and lunar conditions of their catches with a single tap, and optionally record additional details. Anglers can then use this insight to maximize their success by returning to the best locations during optimal conditions. Perfect for hobbyists, competitors, or career anglers, the app is packed with features to help users catch more fish.

Okemos, Michigan - inyago LLC today introduces Angler Ally 1.0 for iOS, a GPS-enabled app that boosts fishing success. Users can pinpoint the locations and weather and lunar conditions of their catches with a single tap, and optionally record additional details such as weight, length, lure, bait, water conditions, and more. Users can then use this insight to maximize their success by returning to the best locations during optimal conditions. Perfect for hobbyists, competitors, or career anglers, the app is packed with features to help users catch more fish.

With Angler Ally, users can focus on fishing techniques, while this GPS-enabled app does the rest. With a wealth of comprehensive information stored in the app, users can quickly locate and revisit their best fishing spots, plot points of interest on a map, categorize them, take pictures, notes, and more. The ability to plot points of interest, such as a dock or emergency services, ensures that Angler Ally app users will never get lost out on the water and know exactly where to find help when it's needed.

Angler Ally was designed to be clean, lean, fun to use, and effective in helping users make the most of their fishing. Using the app is simple. A GPS map allows users to drop a digital map pin, creating an accurate map point to show where the fish are biting. Moveable pins can be dragged and dropped on Standard, Satellite, or Hybrid map formats. Users designate a category for the pin - a Placemark for designating a point of interest, or a Catch marker for designating the spot where a catch was made. For a Catch, users enter information including species, culling tag (multiple colors), weight, length, unlimited photos, lure, lure color, bait, body of water and water type (automatically detected based on the location), break, cover, prevailing weather and lunar conditions (automatically entered), notes, and more. Catches may be organized by date, providing a comprehensive log of fishing events.

The app features automatic location-based weather and lunar conditions, including current weather and a 5-day forecast, temperature, high-low, barometric pressure, and lunar phase. Since phases of the moon have a direct impact on feeding activity, this data allows fishing enthusiasts to accurately predict fish activity. While other apps may simply provide information, Angler Ally allows users to log detailed information about important catches, providing a more accurate snapshot of the perfect conditions for catching specific types of fish, as well as creating a diary of fishing expeditions.

Angler Ally also features an interactive photo album where each photo can be flipped over to reveal baseball-card-like details, for anglers who like to back up their fish tales with proof. App owners can capture and store an unlimited number of images, and share photos and details of their catches, trips, and placemarks via email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, and Sina Weibo, from within the app. Angler Ally also includes a Favorites tag for catches, trips, placemarks, and all list items (species, lures, etc.) that can be marked for quick access.

Feature Highlights:
* Automatic, location-based weather and lunar conditions forecasts
* Record data in preferred measurement systems, independent of the device's local settings
* Record detailed catch information
* Log catches, unlimited photos, descriptive title, and notes
* Record point-of-interest placemarks, including type, photos, and notes
* Provide automatic geographic information based on location, including latitude and longitude, body of water or physical land address, and nearby areas of interest
* Catches and placemarks are automatically plotted on a Standard, Satellite, or Hybrid GPS-enabled map
* Tag Favorites for quicker access
* Filter list of catches, trips, and placemarks by day, year, or start and end dates
* Share photos and details of catches, trips, and placemarks via email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, and Weibo

"Guided by the insight of a veteran pro fisherman, we developed Angler Ally to be your go-to app for boosting your fishing success," stated developer of Angler Ally and inyago co-founder, Scott Gardner. "Whether you're a hobbyist, competitor, or career angler, Angler Ally has packed in the features to help you catch more fish."

Featuring colorful graphics and animation, the extremely detailed, social simulation includes built-in Facebook connectivity.

Hello, Cappuccino is its own, online, virtual world. Thousands of players around the globe have their own Dessert Cafes, open for business and always growing. Each Cafe serves coffees, juices, teas, pastries, and cakes, and the more successful the Cafe, the more items it offers in each category. As customers automatically enter their Cafe, players must provide seating, prepare and serve their order as quickly as possible and then clean up to make room for new customers.

Feature Highlights:
* Make delicious coffees & desserts following cookbook recipes
* Create satisfied customers by seating and serving them promptly
* Carry out challenging, entertaining missions that will help grow the business
* Open an extra cafe on pristine Waikiki beach
* Visit friends' cafes and prepare desserts for them
* Leave tips for friends and help them clean up
* Recruit Facebook friends as the baristas, chefs, and patissiers
* Evaluate a friend's cafe and give them a recommendation
* Enhance the atmosphere by dressing your waiters, baristas, and patissiers as you like

Managers will face many decisions and must choose wisely to ensure smooth growth. In addition to wait staff, players are encouraged to hire both a barista (someone who prepares espresso-based coffee drinks) and a patissier (pastry chef). Additional tables and chairs can be purchased, which will hopefully lead to higher revenues. To accommodate more than a few tables, players will need to undertake an expansion of the Cafe, which is done in stages, adding additional square footage horizontally and vertically.

Would it be more advantageous to spend gold or cocos (an alternate game currency) on improving the decor, expanding the menu, buying more equipment, or hiring more staff? Every player will manage and grow their Cafe differently. A decorative costume for the barista or new pastry oven? At every step, players will make the same kinds of decisions as actual Cafe Managers.

Of course, resources are always limited, and players must invest their gold, cocos, and points wisely. The game tracks and displays all the player's resources, which are necessary for improvements, including: gold from tips, gold from earnings, cocos, experience points, customer satisfaction points, special appearance points, social points, and proficiency stars. The simulation includes an ever-growing number of activities in different categories, which can add resources when successfully completed.

In addition to all the responsibilities of managing the day-to-day operation of their Cafe, players may take time to engage in a quest. Quests consist of daily quizzes and missions. Missions are special training courses and achievements in which players can engage. There are unique, one-time, managerial missions and repeatable, unlimited, cooking missions. Finally, players may also enjoy social activities by visiting other Cafes in the Hello, Cappuccino universe. They can explore, respond to invitations, or visit friends, where they can leave tips, notes, recipes, and recommendations.

"Manage your own cafe, learn new skills, and make new friends in the virtual world of Hello, Cappuccino," commented James Lim of KTH. "Watch as your Cafe grows in size, customers, staff, menu items, and profitability."

Aqua Data Studio 12.0 Leads the Way with Big Data Performance - Published on 10/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AquaFold, Inc. announces Aqua Data Studio 12.0, a major upgrade to its universal database query and administration software, allowing users to design and administer the latest class of relational databases effortlessly. With this release, Aqua Data Studio once again leaps ahead with remarkable speed improvements of 100 percent to 800 percent when working with big datasets. It also includes FluidShell, a fully integrated command line shell to automate database ETL (extract, transform and load).

Sunnyvale, California - AquaFold, Inc. has released Aqua Data Studio 12.0, a major upgrade to its universal database query and administration software, allowing users to design and administer the latest class of relational databases effortlessly. With this release, Aqua Data Studio once again leaps ahead with remarkable speed improvements of 100% to 800% when working with big datasets. It also includes FluidShell, a fully integrated command line shell to automate database ETL (extract, transform and load) tasks, as well as a streamlined user interface, Subversion 1.7 support, and numerous enhancements to support larger databases and the latest database versions.

"This release is about lightning fast performance, particularly for Big Data," says AquaFold's CEO, Niels Gron. "Enterprises are growing their data warehouses exponentially and they are demanding tools that offer speed and cost-cutting automation to stay competitive globally."

The twelfth major release of Aqua Data Studio integrates the all-new FluidShell, an interactive shell combining the power of the SQL command line with the versatility of a Unix shell. FluidShell includes a complete set of commands for quickly scripting and executing custom solutions for data mining, ETL operations, database/file system data exchange, and data warehousing. FluidShell also benefits from the application's speed enhancements, as well as a new connection-pooling feature that increases performance and scalability by automatically sharing connections across multiple query windows.

Aqua Data Studio 12 also features dozens of interface improvements and editor enhancements. The schema viewer is now tab-based, making it simpler to view and edit several schemas when multitasking across different databases. A new search box even helps users locate the proper setting to customize the application's hundreds of options. These features are in large part due to user feedback, which the company has elicited through its online service AquaClusters.

"Speed and automation are not just integral to Aqua Data Studio, they are at the very heart of our company," explains Gron. "Last year we opened the doors to our development and support process using AquaClusters, and were so delighted with the results that we made the service freely available to benefit other software professionals."

The AquaClusters online service provides project-based issue tracking, discussion forums, answers and wikis. Projects can be designated public or private, and fine-grain permissions allow companies to open up any aspect of the development process to their customers and distributed development teams. AquaFold's users have been using the service to participate in the development of Aqua Data Studio 12 by logging bug reports, features requests, and engaging in active discussions that have dramatically shaped the final product.

About AquaClusters:
AquaClusters is an online service that has helped redefine how software professionals collaborate, analyze, and innovate in the development process. Anyone can explore available projects or start their own by signing up for a free account.
