Essay Writing Apps Increase Students' College and Job Prospects - Published on 10/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Colleges and employers are increasing their testing of students' writing skills, and Niles Technology apps prepare students in high school and college to excel in writing. Whether asked to write a long paper, a short essay, or to explain a complex passage, Essay Workstation 2.1 provides the thinking and writing skills required to handle any writing task in high school, college and on the job. The apps work with any writing curriculum and are perfect for iPad and iPhone mobile learning programs.

Charlottesville, Virginia - Colleges and employers are increasing their testing of students' writing skills, and Niles Technology apps prepare students in high school and college to excel in writing. Whether asked to write a long paper, a short essay, or to explain a complex passage, Essay Workstation 2.1 provides the thinking and writing skills required to handle any writing task in high school, college and on the job. The apps work with any writing curriculum and are perfect for iPad and iPhone mobile learning programs.

"With writing, like anything else really, practice makes perfect. Too many schools and students think that a couple essays and papers here and there gets the job done in teaching writing skills," explains Michael A. Niles, president of Niles Technology Group. "In reality, writing requires constant practice in understanding how to write in the several disciplines and how to organize ideas differently for varying audiences. However, in addition to practice, consistent instructional content is paramount, so that students are continually building and reinforcing writing skills. It is way too easy to get stuck at an elementary or mediocre level if the instructional content is not advancing with the student. Niles Technology apps solve these issues in one comprehensive mobile learning platform that focus on writing."

Many colleges have instituted remedial writing programs that, while helpful, really waste the time that students could be studying new subjects instead of a core skill that should have been learned already. Essay Workstation 2.1, a mobile learning app for iPad and iPhone, solves this problem by teaching students how to develop good writing skills; plus, it helps college students, who may already write well, improve so that they standout even better to potential employers.

Parents, teachers and schools are discovering the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month, school volume purchases of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile technology in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents are also catching on because Essay Workstation 2.1 is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. Middle School Writing 1.0 and High School Writing 3.0 are virtually tied as solid No. 2 bestsellers, with both parents and schools purchasing the apps.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4.0 Tested)
* 2.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Essay Writing Workstation 2.1 is $24.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

iSpotPro - Train your Visual Memory and Pattern Recognition skills - Published on 10/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Modern meets traditional in a new 'spot the difference' app aimed at young and old alike. Leicester web designer, Mayuir Sidhpara is proud to introduce iSpotPro Themed Edition 1.1 for iOS. As well as being fun for parents and children to play together, it is also highly beneficial and engaging for special needs individuals. The first few games are easy, but you soon realise that finding the differences become a lot harder!

Leicester, United Kingdom - Modern meets traditional in a new 'spot the difference' app aimed at young and old alike. Leicester web designer, Mayuir Sidhpara says that his 'iSpotPro Themed Edition' app is a new way to play and train visual memory and pattern recognition.

As well as being fun for parents and children to play together, it is also highly beneficial and engaging for special needs individuals.

Mayuir says that iSpotPro Themed Edition is not the usual Spot the Difference game, as the underlining goal is to train and educate children based on practice and repetition. The learning app starts off easy, but the further you go, it gets more challenging, as you soon realise that when looking at the same picture again and again, finding the differences become a lot harder! The reality is that the key to help increase visual memory and recognition is practice. With this app, kids are given the chance to go over the same picture over and over again, for a set number of times, each time looking closely at what did change, resulting in development of visual perception skills. To provide a more challenging environment, there are timer and difficulty changing options available.

Mayuir said: "I believe parents would much rather their children occupy their time playing iSpotPro Themed Edition to improve their skills, rather than sitting on violent computer games. It's also great in that parent and child can enjoy the challenge together."

Fight Data Leakage with Latest Enhancements to Enterprise File Sharing - Published on 10/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GroupLogic today announces the newest version of its secure enterprise file sharing software: activEcho 2.6. activEcho provides IT managers and administrators with more options for improved control in areas such as management, process visibility, security, and deployment flexibility. activEcho furthers the mobile workforce's ability to easily access critical files on the platform of their own choosing - all under secure IT management.

Woburn, MA - GroupLogic(R), the industry's leading provider of software products that unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, announced today the newest version of its secure enterprise file sharing software: activEcho(TM) 2.6. activEcho provides IT managers and administrators with more options for improved control in areas such as management, process visibility, security, and deployment flexibility. activEcho furthers the mobile workforce's ability to easily access critical files on the platform of their own choosing - all under secure IT management.

The challenge of managing data floating from device to device outside of the enterprise's internal IT infrastructure is giving IT managers a major headache. A recent survey by Acronis at VMworld in San Francisco, found file synchronization, data protection, device compatibility and information security are equally concerning issues resulting from the BYOD phenomenon. Additionally, almost half of respondents admitted to using Dropbox(TM) for corporate file sharing without approval.

According to a Gartner report titled "How to Control File Synchronization Services and Prevent
Corporate Data Leakage," authors Jay Heiser and Lawrence Pingree recognize "consumer-grade personal file synchronization services are creating huge potential for data leakage, version conflicts and compliance gaps". As the report notes, "A growing number of enterprise decision makers are concerned that ubiquitous file sharing onto personal devices via the cloud needs to be controlled."

GroupLogic's activEcho was designed specifically to allow enterprise users to sync files safely and securely from anywhere and any device, giving IT the peace of mind and comfort of knowing no files will be shared without access approval.

Specific features and benefits of activEcho 2.6 include:
* Enhanced security:
- User account expiration
- Invite expiration
- Allow or prevent guests from inviting others
- Control over list visibility

* Process visibility and ease of use:
- Single Click access to changed files
- Recently changed files list

* Management:
- Log and user views with pagination, new filters and performance enhancements
- Individual user quotas
- Load balancing across multiple nodes

* Deployment flexibility and platform coverage:
- Android support for tablets and smart phones

"activEcho has been built to deliver ease of use and uncompromised security compliance," said Marcelo Andrieu, product manager at GroupLogic. "Version 2.6 not only gives end users and IT Managers the advanced features they need to access and maintain the integrity and security of their documents at all times, it also expands the benefits of secure, seamless file sharing to BYOD Android users."

Pricing and Availability:
activEcho 2.6 is available today as a free upgrade to existing customers under maintenance contract. GroupLogic also offers a free trial of activEcho for interested IT organizations. activEcho is priced per user and can be deployed anywhere, allowing for the access, syncing and sharing of as many files as needed, no matter the size.

GroupLogic(R), an Acronis company, offers organizations of all sizes easy-to-manage, simple, and secure file access on today's emerging computing platforms, from mobile devices to desktops. GroupLogic products help organizations improve collaboration without compromising corporate, privacy and content protection standards. Acquired by Acronis in 2012, GroupLogic empowers enterprise users to access, sync and share files between PCs, Macs, mobile devices, enterprise servers and NAS storage devices. By helping organizations ensure critical data is available and protected at all times, Acronis is at the forefront of meeting the demands created by powerful market forces such as BYOD, mobility and hybrid computing environments. GroupLogic's proven products - mobilEcho(R), activEcho(TM), ExtremeZ-IP(R), ArchiveConnect(TM), and MassTransit(R) - are used by more than 7,000 organizations worldwide. (C) 2012 GroupLogic, Inc.

Econ Technologies Releases ChronoMonitor for iPhone - Published on 10/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Econ Technologies releases ChronoMonitor 1.0 for iPhone. ChronoMonitor is an iPhone app that monitors the availability and condition of any ChronoAgents installed on a network to ensure that they are ready for synchronization or backup. ChronoMonitor requires that ChronoSync and ChronoAgent be installed on your Macs. ChronoMonitor is available at the App Store for $2.99.

Casselberry, Florida - Econ Technologies releases ChronoMonitor 1.0 for iPhone. ChronoMonitor is an iPhone(R) app that monitors the availability and condition of any ChronoAgents installed on a network to ensure that they are ready for synchronization or backup. ChronoMonitor requires that ChronoSync and ChronoAgent be installed on your Macs. ChronoMonitor is available at the Apple(R) App Store for $2.99 USD.

ChronoSync is the automated synchronization and backup application for Mac(R) OS X that can synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on the destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync giving you a direct connection between two Macs. ChronoMonitor is an iPhone app that checks on the availability and condition of any ChronoAgents installed to ensure they are ready for backup.

Here's how the three apps work together: Install ChronoSync on a source Mac and ChronoAgent on one or more destination Macs that connect to the source Mac. Then use ChronoMonitor to keep tabs on all the Macs running ChronoAgent to ensure they are ready for backup.

With ChronoMonitor you can:
* Monitor up to 20 ChronoAgents
* Connect to agents on a LAN (WiFi) or WWAN (cellular)
* Determine the reachability and running status of an agent
* Identify if an agent is encountering errors such as dropped connections or even crashes
* Detect failed logins, possibly uncovering attempts to crack security
* View the ChronoAgent version number installed on the remote computer
* Detect if ChronoAgent updates are available
* Track activity and load being placed on a ChronoAgent
* All from the convenience of your iPhone

ChronoSync and ChronoAgent for Mac will run natively on both Power PC and Intel-based Macintosh(R) computers running Mac OS X 10.5 and later - Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. ChronoSync and ChronoAgent for Mac are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese. Download and try the demos, or purchase ChronoSync for $40.00 and ChronoAgent for Mac for $10.00.

ChronoSync is a Mac utility that will synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. With ChronoSync can sync or back up to almost anything you can connect to your Mac. This includes folders on your Mac, other Macs, PC's, external drives, NAS drives, or anything you can mount to your Mac.

ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on a destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync. Normally, when you connect to another Mac you mount it using file sharing. ChronoAgent bypasses file sharing, giving you full access to the destination Mac. With the combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent you have the ability to gain full access to both Macs, automatically backup a Mac when it joins on a network, maintain bootable backups over a network, encrypt data over a network, and more.

ChronoMonitor is an iPhone app that monitors Macs running ChronoAgent to ensure that they are ready for synchronization or backup.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4/5 Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4/5 Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 1.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ChronoMonitor 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. The purchase enables the monitoring of up to 20 Macs running ChronoAgent.

SalesVu 2.2 for iOS Offers Complete POS Solution - Published on 10/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SalesVu has recently released the much awaited SalesVu 2.2 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. Unlike other mobile payment apps that act as a simple electronic cash register, SalesVu 2.2 offers a complete point of sale and business management solution. Users can now monitor all sales information, for all of their locations, in real time, from anywhere right from their iOS device. They can also check inventory levels, make price changes and add or edit products for all locations at once.

Austin, Texas - Announcing that SalesVu, the developer of SalesVu, has just released the latest update for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. According to Pascal Nicolas, SalesVu founder and CEO, SalesVu 2.2 provides more value than most other point-of-sale and mobile payment solutions. Rather than acting as just another mobile cash register, this app offers a complete point of sale and business management solution. Users can now monitor all sales information, for all of their locations, in real time, from anywhere right from their iOS device. They can also check inventory levels, make price changes and add or edit products for all locations at once.

SalesVu 2.2 Features Include:
* Attractive, easy to use interface
* Cloud-based infrastructure securely centralizes all of a company's business activity
* Cross-device-sync functionality lets multiple iOS devices communicate with each other
* Enter decimal / fractional product quantities- Great for selling products by the pound!
* Manage multiple locations and remote employees in real time
* Complete point of sale solution, not just a mobile cash register
* Manage, market, update and get reports from anywhere
* Process various types of transactions from an iOS device
* US and Canadian companies can request free hardware encrypted card readers
* US and Canadian companies pay a low flat rate for credit card transactions
* Post offers instantly to Facebook
* Automatically emails receipts to customers when a payment is made
* Print receipts and scan barcodes

Retailers are excited about the app's new ability to accept decimal and fractional product quantities. This new feature is a boon for store owners that sell certain items by the pound.

Also new for this update is a cross-device-sync functionality that really has managers and business owners talking. Mike Halker, founder of the Due South Brewing bar in Boynton Beach, Florida, says: "We love the fact that we can open a tab from one iPad, edit it on another, and collect payment on a third. We also save on printer costs because all the iPads can print to the same receipt, kitchen, or bar printers - and intelligently know what to print to each one."

Truly impressed by the functionality of SalesVu 2.2, Halker also pointed out: "There are other iPad applications such as Square, but they operate more as a simple cash register rather than a true point-of-sale solution. SalesVu allows us to manage and close multiple shifts per day, adjust tips at the end of each shift, have different employees and bartenders ring-up tickets under separate logins, and even split checks for large parties. The fact that SalesVu does all the work of a traditional POS and is available for free is a god-send for a business owner."

When asked about the value this app offers to small business owners, Joan Castillo, owner of The Stardust Club in Austin, TX reported that "A fully featured server-based bar POS solution with eight terminals would have cost us over $100K plus annual maintenance fees, but we got the same benefits from SalesVu for less than $5K."

This app is equally at home in a retail establishment, a restaurant, or any business with multiple locations and a lot of employees. It's especially useful for companies with remote employees. A company can download the app for free and distribute it to their entire sales team, allowing management to watch all sales in real time, from one location or on the go.

The app creates a way for businesses to potentially eliminate tens of thousands of dollars worth of point of sale hardware and software. Adding terminals and new locations is as easy as downloading the free app to the new terminals and opening for business. Since it's a cloud-based app, new additions are automatically synced to the user's account.

Of course, as with previous versions, SalesVu 2.2 makes it easy to accept and process credit card transactions, and still offers the lowest processing rate available.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 3.5 MB (iPhone, iPod touch); 4.3 MB (iPad)

Pricing and Availability:
SalesVu 2.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

Chess Opening Trainer 3.0 Adds Position Training - Published on 10/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Arizona based Cliqueyou today announces Chess Opening Trainer 3.0, an update to its popular games title for iPad. Chess Opening Trainer is a tool for building and mastering chess opening repertoire. This release enhances the opening training feature by adding the ability to bookmark key positions or 'tabiya', an important concept in mastering chess openings. Also, it is now possible for users to use Chess Opening Trainer as a position trainer for tactics, end games and other essential positions.

Tempe, Arizona - Cliqueyou today is pleased to announce the release of version 3.0 of Chess Opening Trainer for iPad. Chess Opening Trainer was mainly intended to be a tool for building and mastering chess opening repertoire. Although the previous versions were sufficient for the intended purpose, there was no way to incorporate key positions or 'tabiya', an important concept in mastering chess openings. This release now gives the users the ability to bookmark any position (key positions or 'tabiya') in their repertoire so they can focus and train more on what's most important.

In addition, Chess Opening Trainer 3.0 now goes beyond opening training by supporting FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) positions, which are positions that start from any position other than the normal start position of the chess games. This means that users can now use Chess Opening Trainer as a position trainer for tactics, end games and other essential positions. Also, users can now collect and build their own position library and 'priyomes' (typical maneuvers in positions). It is well known that the Polgar sisters founded their intuition on their family's enormous chess position library. The famous chess author and grandmaster Lev Alburt strongly recommends that students collect and build their own collection of chess positions.

With this release, Chess Opening Trainer is now in full compliance to the formula of grandmaster Andrew Soltis which states "Half of 'studying the opening' is memorization. Memory gives you the freedom to play auto-pilot moves... The other half of 'studying the opening' is developing an understanding of what to do afterward."
