Cloud Printing Available for the New iPad Mini and iPad 4th Gen - Published on 10/24/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Texas based Pocket Watch, LLC. has announced full support for Cloud Printing from the new Apple iPad Mini with ActivePrint. With ActivePrint installed on the iPad Mini and the iPad 4th Gen, users can print any document or photo to their printer from anywhere in the world through exclusive ActivePrint Cloud Printing System. Pocket Watch, LLC. is also making this functionality available to other developers through an easy to implement application programing interface.
Beaumont, Texas - Yesterday Apple raised the bar again with their new Apple iPad Mini. This new device creates a lower barrier to entry for people wanting an easy to use tablet. This is due to its smaller size and its lower price when compared to the traditional iPad. Similarly, Pocket Watch, LLC.'s award winning printing solution, ActivePrint, provides a lower barrier for users wanting to print from the new iPad Mini. With ActivePrint installed, iPad Mini users (as well as users of other iOS devices) can easily print documents and photos to any printer from anywhere in the world.
With ActivePrint 9.1 users can easily and securely send their documents on their iPad, iPad Mini, or iPhone to be printed no matter where they are. Whether the user is at the office, at home, or out of town they will always be able to print from their iPad or iPhone to their printer. And with the free ActivePrint System app installed on their PC or Mac, users can turn any printer into a Cloud Printer.
Charles Teel developed the idea of ActivePrint as a college student while at Texas A&M University after getting his first Pocket PC. In class, he would write pages and pages of notes on his Pocket PC but would have to manually copy those files to his desktop computer, and then print them one at a time. Frustrated, he looked for a software alternative to make this process simpler. However, the closest thing he could find would require another $400 of hardware and software, and even then it wouldn't fully automate the process. So Teel set out to develop ActivePrint, the first and only mobile printing solution that gives users the ability to print right out of the box at an affordable price (even for college students). Pocket Watch Software continued to develop the ActivePrint technology to make it more effective.

Quickly search for meals by calories and points, popular diets like Paleo or Low Carb or dietary restrictions like Gluten Free and Low Sodium. The app is launching on Food Day to celebrate the movement towards healthy and sustainable food.
San Francisco, California - Say goodbye to feeling guilty after eating out or being frustrated by the lack of food options when you're on a diet. That's all history thanks to the launch of HealthyOut, a free iPhone app that lets you discover nearby restaurant dishes that match your healthy appetite.
With HealthyOut, people can quickly search for meals by calories and points, popular diets like Paleo or Low Carb or dietary restrictions like Gluten Free and Low Sodium. One of the app's most popular features is the Not a Salad filter. HealthyOut makes it easy and convenient to find healthy food that people still enjoy eating. The app is launching on Food Day to celebrate the movement towards healthy and sustainable food.
Why HealthyOut?
"We are a nation obsessed with dieting," says Wendy Nguyen, CEO of HealthyOut. "But it's not working. HealthyOut was created to help you find convenient food that you still love to eat. We think it all starts with the food."
With two-thirds of American adults struggling with overweight and obesity issues, developing solutions to help people eat healthier has never been more important, especially solutions that fit with people's everyday lifestyles.
"Our team created HealthyOut after speaking with hundreds of nutritionists, dieters, and healthy eaters who told us eating out was a huge issue. People lack the information they need to make smart food choices or often feel trapped into always ordering a salad. HealthyOut solves this problem by giving our users insight into the food they're eating before they step into the restaurant."
What Sets HealthyOut Apart?
Many health and nutrition apps focus on tracking every calorie you consume. HealthyOut wants to take the homework out of healthy eating. With a few taps, you're able to locate nearby restaurants, see what dishes look good and match your diet, and easily look up nutrition information before you order.
"We're bringing nutrition information forward and presenting it in a way that empowers people to make healthier eating choices," says Wendy. "There's a host of nutrition apps out there all focused on tracking. For anyone who's tried calorie counting, they know tracking equals works. We are determined not to make healthy eating a chore. We believe it all starts with finding healthy food that fits your lifestyle, and we can do this in a well-designed, easy to use app."
HealthyOut is piloting in the San Francisco Bay Area where it serves up healthy dishes at both local and chain restaurants. Those living outside of the pilot area can still use HealthyOut to find meal options at national chain restaurants.
Soon HealthyOut will release more features including crowdsourcing healthy options from the community as well as social features that allow you to get recommendations from others who share the same eating style. Be amongst the first to download HealthyOut from the iTunes App Store! And share this app with friends and family! This is just the beginning, so make sure to follow HealthyOut updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Luxury Label Upper Street Launches Shoe Designer App for iPad 1 November - Published on 10/24/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Made-to-order luxury shoe label, Upper Street today announces the imminent launch of Shoe Designer, its first iOS app. In this portable luxury shoe studio, every aspect of the shoe is designed by the customer, from the style and heel height, to the toe design and strap options. The studio's 360-degree 3D Shoe Designer allows customers to see a true-to-life view of their shoe design. Pre-release promo codes are available to media immediately.
London, United Kingdom - Made-to-order luxury shoe label, Upper Street, today announces the imminent launch of its first app: Shoe Designer. Upper Street Shoe Designer is a stylish and beautifully crafted app - designed exclusively for iPad - with a pleasingly luxury feel.
Within the free app, the first ever portable luxury shoe studio, every aspect of the shoe is designed by the customer - from the style and heel height, to the toe design and strap options. Users can select from an inspiring array of materials, colours and textures and even embellish their creations with studs or Swarovski jewel clusters. The studio's 360-degree 3D Shoe Designer allows customers to see a true-to-life view of their shoe design, which will then be lovingly handcrafted and delivered directly to their door within just six weeks.
The beauty of Shoe Designer is that women can start designing as soon as inspiration strikes - taking a photo when out and about to inspire a new pair of shoes, or get comfy on the sofa and design shoes at their leisure. Or even taking the app along to a dress fitting, or that special shopping trip, to ensure that every important outfit is perfectly matched to a pair of utterly unique, handmade shoes.
Shoe Designer also includes Shared Collections, which allows users to build, save and share a collection of their favourite shoe designs with friends as they create their ideal shoe wardrobe. Once shared, friends can comment on the collections or 'love' the designs within the app, bringing an end to agonising over which pair to buy. Designs can be further shared via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or any other social network, spreading the shoe love far and wide.
Upper Street's co-founder, Julia Grinham, introduces the in-app offer, "To launch Shoe Designer we are offering an exclusive one day promotion. Customers who download our app by Thursday 1st November will be sent an offer code for 50% OFF any pair of shoes ordered by Monday 5th November. We hope this will inspire women to try designing their own shoes, building a collection of designs to choose from."
Sister to Julia and co-founder Katy Chandler adds, "Our customers have been asking us 'When are you launching an app?' pretty much since we started and we are more than happy to oblige. The desire to be able to design on the go is a powerful one. Women who visit Upper Street have really caught the designing bug and Shoe Designer will give them the flexibility to be creative away from the confines of their laptop or computer."
The Shoe Designer app is linked to the main Upper Street site, allowing all account information and content to synch across both platforms. So wherever and whenever shoe lovers create their next designs, they can save, share and buy.
App promotion:
* App must be downloaded by midnight GMT 01.11.12
* Customers must opt in to Upper Street newsletters to receive the offer code. If they are not opted in, they will have not given permission for Upper Street to contact them by email

Little Bird is available on iTunes for FREE for a limited time. The game was created by Dr. Robert Belluso who could not resist his creative longings and arcade gaming background and devoted his spare time to developing the Little Bird gaming app.
Little Bird combines current technology, exotic landscapes, objects, and contraptions, allowing the player to interact in novel ways that have not been seen before in an iPhone game. Little Bird brings the simple idea of a real skill arcade game to the next level, offering a fun, challenging, and unique experience.
Unlike games that rely on tapping, sliding or swiping, Little Bird takes advantage of the latest iPhone technology. The user tilts the device to the right or left, using gravity and speed to build momentum to get through each level.
In no time the gamer is rolling, jumping, bouncing, flying through the air, swinging in baskets, riding in carts, and shooting out of cannons while avoiding obstacles, booby traps and enemies to help Little Bird collect coins along the path to safety.
"Little Bird brings the simple idea of a real skill arcade game, from which the concept was born, to the next level," explains Dr. Belluso, "offering a fun, challenging and unique experience that will keep gamers coming back for more. Little Bird is a fun, gravity driven novel game played with challenging physics-based obstacle courses."
Little Bird is a universal app available on all devices that combines accelerometer and gyroscope gaming technologies. It features 20 unique levels with future levels coming and frequent updates.
Little Bird is rated 4+ (suitable for ages 4 and older). Gamers who enjoy Angry Birds, Feed That Dragon, Where's My Water, Hank Hazard, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope and Bike Baron will very much feel at home with Little Bird.
Key Features:
* 20 amazingly fun levels with more to come
* Uses Apple's accelerometer and gyroscope
* An astounding 60 frames per second
* Sharp crisp colorful graphics
* Optimized for retina display and the new iPad
* Little Bird uses the latest technology
* Gravity and speed are your friends

* It's tons 'o fun
* Facebook and Twitter integration

Robert Belluso, an osteopathic physician since 2002, experienced first-hand the evolution of video gaming technology from "Pong" to "Super Mario" to online gaming with a dial-up modem and now to post-pc mobile gaming. He created Little Bird to replicate the skills of playing real arcade-style games as no tapping, sliding or swiping motions are used.

Introducing AppyMall: A New Educational App Marketplace - Published on 10/24/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AppyMall, a marketplace for educational apps, has been launched by Technology in Education to help teachers and parents find quality children's apps. The site's searchable database allows users to find apps by grade level and learning skill. AppyMall divides apps into anchor stores that organize book, game and educational apps into categories such as preschool, elementary school, middle school, speech and language, special needs and apps with lesson plans.
San Francisco, California - AppyMall, a new marketplace for educational apps, has been launched by Technology in Education, a popular review site, to help teachers and parents find quality children's apps.
AppyMall allows users to search for educational apps by grade level and learning skill, such as math, language arts, or reading. AppyMall divides apps into anchor stores that organize book, game and educational apps into categories such as preschool, elementary school, middle school, speech and language, special needs and apps with lesson plans.
Within each anchor store, apps are sub-categorized by subject and price so that consumers can find relevant learning content quickly. There also is an option for the user to click on the app description to put it on a wish list, or to mark that they own it.
"The AppyMall educational categories are helpful for consumers to pinpoint different areas of educational content. Instead of browsing huge app stores under the blanket terms of 'education' or 'kids,' with AppyMall you can specifically target apps by subject area and grade level," said Lorraine Akemann of Moms With Apps. "This service should be helpful for parents and teachers alike in finding apps."
AppyMall is an offshoot of Technology in Education, a popular review site for educational apps with a Facebook community of more than 15,000.
The need for AppyMall, which categorizes apps by grade level and learning skill, became evident as the Technology in Education team witnessed the frustration of teachers looking for specific types of apps for their classroom, and parents seeking apps to foster learning at home. It also has become an important resource for apps that help special needs children, such as those on the Autism Spectrum.
"AppyMall is a fantastic resource for parents looking for special needs apps. There are so many apps on iTunes now that it is difficult to find apps that target a specific skill or deficit," said Kyle Tomson, president of the Mobile Education Store. "AppyMall not only narrows the search, but it only includes the best apps, ones that you can feel confident will help your child. I use it myself for my children."
The site also has become an important ally for educational app developers.
"Folks at AppyMall go beyond merely reviewing your app. They not only critique, but even suggest critical improvements," said Joy Deep Nath, co-founder of StudyPad. "But what really sets AppyMall apart is its focus on curriculum and the core education value of the app. This helps them create very fine-tuned, but extremely useful categories in education, like apps with lesson plans, apps for special education, etc. It's simply the best place for app discovery."
AppyMall was founded in 2012 to help parents and teachers cut through the clutter of the app marketplace to find quality educational apps for children.

Em Software Buy One Get One Free Promotion on Database Publishing Tools - Published on 10/24/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ThePowerXChange and XChange UK, the sources for extended technology worldwide are pleased to announce a new limited time promotion on Em Software's powerful database publishing tools for Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. With the software, users can automate the creation of catalogs, reports, guides, abstracts, magazines, classified advertising, phone books and more in InDesign or QuarkXPress.
Carson City, Nevada - ThePowerXChange and XChange UK, the sources for extended technology worldwide are pleased to announce a new limited time promotion on Em Software's powerful database publishing tools for Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. The promotion offers users immediate savings between $400 USD to $1200 on EmData, EmCatalog and Xtags software as well as an immediate return on their investment by utilizing the production automation capabilities to reduce labor intensive tasks to a few simple clicks of the mouse.
Since 1990, Em has been building industrial-strength products that are in production use at tens of thousands of sites world-wide. "It used to take us a day or more just to import our data (26,000 records, about 350 pages when done), and then a week to clean it up. When EmData imported it in about 10 minutes with almost no cleanup needed, my boss and I nearly fell on the floor! We are so glad we went with EmData rather than a custom software solution costing tens of thousands more," offers Andrew MacBride, Mallinckrodt Baker, Inc.
EmData (formerly Xdata) brings the full layout, design, typographic and picture publishing power of Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress to bear on all data-driven repetitive publishing tasks. EmData works like a mail merge on steroids. Data can be stored in a text file, a spreadsheet or a database. Users create a template in a normal page layout document, with rules that tell it how to format their text and graphics. Then, with a single menu invocation, EmData builds their documents at jaw-dropping speeds - up to hundreds or even thousands of pages per hour.
"I still love your product, and it's saved us a TON of time in our layouts (we average anywhere from 160-200 pages of print work a week with a staff of 3, which we couldn't possibly do without InCatalog)." - Nathan A.
Users can sort and then export from their database application, spreadsheet applications (e.g., Excel), or download from the web or their corporate information systems, and then import the resulting data file with EmData, fully formatted. Users can also create multiple, independent "dictionary style" headers and footers on each page or spread, with sophisticated controls over the header/footer contents. Additionally, users can apply multiple master pages based on incoming data.
EmCatalog and EmCatalog Pro create transparent links between Adobe InDesign/QuarkXPress documents and databases or spreadsheets. Once links are established by means of the easy-to-use data linker palette, users can update prices, graphics, or product information automatically - even change versions or swap languages.
EmCatalog is designed to update prices, graphics, or product information with single-click ease, in just about any kind of catalog, price list, travel schedule, directory, one-to-one marketing flyer, etc. If users have different pricing regions for a catalog project, EmCatalog can swap the prices in for each region automatically.
EmCatalog can also optionally extract updated document information so users can keep their database in sync with what they've changed. With EmCatalog, users can be sure that their document includes the latest info and prices in their database, and that their database includes all last-minute changes they've made to their document.
A normal license enables EmCatalog to work with delimited text data "snapshot" files, and, under Mac OS X, with on-line FileMaker Pro (and Runtime) databases. EmCatalog Pro further unlocks the ODBC capabilities of EmCatalog, which can then update documents directly from and to ODBC-accessible databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, Access, etc.
Xtags is an import/export text filter supporting the Quark XPress Tags language plus its own extended Xtags tags, for tremendous document-building and extracting power in both QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign.
With Xtags, users can build any text content with full styling (the same as XPress Tags), anchor and fill picture and text frames, build and fill unanchored frames, size picture contents to containing frames, size frames to content (text or picture) in various flexible ways, translate text and tags on input, use macros to reduce typing, apply master pages and spreads, and more.
"Your excellent piece of software [Xtags] is an essential tool in the production system that I have developed (semi/ automated production of Radio & TV listings for the largest Norwegian supplier) - it simply would not have been possible without it!" - Jrn M. Jenssen, Qross, stensjvn
For output, Xtags will save the contents of any text story, including anchored text and picture frames, and will also save the structure and content of any selected text, picture or group frames. Xtags is the perfect tool for picture-based data publishing, complex book building, classified ads building, code conversion, and much more.
EmData, EmCatalog and Xtags Buy One Get One Free are available now through ThePowerXChange and XChange UK worldwide. To order, or for more information, users can visit the websites or call 877-940-0600 (North America) or 44 (0)845 259 0255 (UK/Ireland).

Hum This! Social Music Charades App With a Social Conscience! - Published on 10/24/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hum This! is an exciting new music charades game that's fun, social and totally outrageous. It puts player's humming skills to the test, alongside their ability to name that tune. The app is available for iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android phones and tablets. There is a free version and also a paid-for version for committed hummers. Hum This! is a Digital Giving production, supporting two charities, War Child and music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins. Official partners: Ticketmaster, O2, HMV.
London, United Kingdom - Digital Giving, innovators in cause related entertainment have launched a free music app, called Hum This! - a fun interactive game of musical charades, that challenges players to hum and guess tunes from thousands of well-known favourites, quite literally humming to transform children's lives.
Supported by official partners HMV, O2 and Ticketmaster, Hum This! will be actively promoted across their networks. A percentage of the profits will go towards supporting two chosen charities, Nordoff Robbins, which uses music therapy to transform lives, and War Child, which helps children in some of the world's most dangerous countries.
Players can download the app for free to receive their "virtual notes" and play. The next step is to find team mates, invite friends or random users by email or Facebook, and then choose a song or theme to hum from the thousands of categories and musical genres available, including Rock and Pop, Girl Power and Grunge, even Metal and Motown.
With a truly user-friendly interface, players have ten seconds to record their hum which is then sent to their team mate to name the tune. Players can Hum This whilst out shopping or standing in a queue, whilst waiting for a bus or even whilst hiking to the top of Ben Nevis! With each hum using smart in-app technology, hums can be shared with the rest of the world.
The app gives players the chance to win virtual notes and to win monthly prizes by creating the longest succession of correctly guessed hums in a "Hum Run." Virtual notes are also available to buy in the 'note store' and players with the longest hum runs are listed in a real-time leader board.
Grant Morgan, Co-Founder of Digital Giving Ltd says: "We are delighted to be working on this ground-breaking project with Nordoff Robbins, War Child and the biggest names in music, media and entertainment. Using our knowledge and expertise of the very latest technology, we believe that we can engage the world to play and fundraise, while elevating Cause-Related Entertainment to a new level."
Jo Carter, Director of Fundraising & Communications for Nordoff Robbins says: "Hum This! is a fun, free, brilliant app that uses music to engage people in a social way. We are delighted to be one of the two charities that will be supported through this innovative game. All funds raised will help us to continue to transform children's lives through our Nordoff Robbins music therapy work."
Ben Knowles, Director of Fundraising, War Child says: "From our inception, War Child has always pioneered using the power of music in innovative ways to raise funds for our vital work. We're proud to partner Hum This! as it offers a fun new way for people to support charities. We're excited that it's a way of engaging a whole new audience that traditional charity communications may not reach and we hope as many people as possible download and enjoy the game."
James Flett, HMV Partnerships Manager, adds: "We're excited to be partnering with Digital Giving to support Hum This! It's such an innovative mobile app, which I'm sure people will have great fun with, but at the same time we hope it has the more serious purpose of supporting the wonderful work of both Nordoff Robbins and War Child."
Shadi Halliwell, Head of Brand at O2 says: "We love bringing exclusive music experiences to our customers and with Hum This! they'll be experiencing music in a whole new and fun way. We're proud to have worked with War Child and Nordoff Robbins for many years and hope their Hum This! game helps their great work continue well on into the future."
Chris Edmonds, MD for Ticketmaster says: "The incredible work Nordoff Robbins does changes the lives of children and adults across the UK through music and we are extremely proud to be supporting them and their fantastic new free Hum This! app. The app says so much about Nordoff Robbins, it uses music to engage with people in a fun and innovative way whilst raising funds to support the amazing charitable work they do."
Notes to editors - Nordoff Robbins:
* Nordoff Robbins is national specialist music charity, delivering music therapy to a broad range of people in a broad range of places including schools, hospitals, care homes, and prisons across the UK
* We help people who are limited or isolated by their condition including those suffering from autism, dementia, mental health problems including depression, brain injury including a stroke, learning difficulties and learning disabilities, and in some cases our clients have a life-threatening or terminal illness, such as cancer. All of these people have one uniting factor - music dramatically improves their quality of life.
* Nordoff Robbins has 60 therapists providing music therapy services to 100 organisations across the UK, amounting to over 50,000 music therapy sessions every year which are delivered in a variety of settings
* Music therapy is a specialist use of music to help people. Music therapists are trained professionals. They are skilled in using music to help all kinds of people, in all kinds of places. Music therapists believe that everyone responds to music, and everyone has a right to be listened to and have music helping them in their lives
* Music therapy helps people in many different ways. For some it has physical benefits, for others emotional or social ones. It helps people feel more motivated, social and self-confident. It gives people hope when times are more challenging
* Nordoff Robbins also provides other music services which open up our services to larger groups who do not require such intense specialist work, but all of whom can benefit greatly from the power of music, for example, we run groups for people with respiratory problems, to help with their breathing and after school singing clubs for children with autism. Through these broader programmes, we also offer training to other professionals and carers in how they can best use music to help the people they care for and support
* No other organisation uses music to reach so many people, in so many contexts, with such consistently high levels of expertise
* Our new Master of Music Therapy: Music Health, Society is a leading training programme for music therapy in the UK. We've been training students since 1974 and are considered an authority in the area
* Our research programme draws from our current work to demonstrate the effectiveness of music therapy. Our thriving department ensures we are always striving to achieve best practice
* We receive no statutory funding. Our annual income is just under 3 million
* Even 25.00 raised pays for half an hour of music therapy for a young child in hospital suffering from terminal cancer, which utterly transforms their day
* Support from the likes of Annie Lennox, Lisa Minnelli, Bono, Paul McCartney, Muse, Bill Wyman, Bill Nighy, Robbie Williams, Rupert Everett and many more means that Nordoff Robbins can continue to build awareness of its services and to transform lives.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hum This! is an exciting new music charades game that's fun, social and totally outrageous. It puts player's humming skills to the test, alongside their ability to name that tune. The app is available for iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android phones and tablets. There is a free version and also a paid-for version for committed hummers. Hum This! is a Digital Giving production, supporting two charities, War Child and music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins. Official partners: Ticketmaster, O2, HMV.
London, United Kingdom - Digital Giving, innovators in cause related entertainment have launched a free music app, called Hum This! - a fun interactive game of musical charades, that challenges players to hum and guess tunes from thousands of well-known favourites, quite literally humming to transform children's lives.
Supported by official partners HMV, O2 and Ticketmaster, Hum This! will be actively promoted across their networks. A percentage of the profits will go towards supporting two chosen charities, Nordoff Robbins, which uses music therapy to transform lives, and War Child, which helps children in some of the world's most dangerous countries.
Players can download the app for free to receive their "virtual notes" and play. The next step is to find team mates, invite friends or random users by email or Facebook, and then choose a song or theme to hum from the thousands of categories and musical genres available, including Rock and Pop, Girl Power and Grunge, even Metal and Motown.
With a truly user-friendly interface, players have ten seconds to record their hum which is then sent to their team mate to name the tune. Players can Hum This whilst out shopping or standing in a queue, whilst waiting for a bus or even whilst hiking to the top of Ben Nevis! With each hum using smart in-app technology, hums can be shared with the rest of the world.
The app gives players the chance to win virtual notes and to win monthly prizes by creating the longest succession of correctly guessed hums in a "Hum Run." Virtual notes are also available to buy in the 'note store' and players with the longest hum runs are listed in a real-time leader board.
Grant Morgan, Co-Founder of Digital Giving Ltd says: "We are delighted to be working on this ground-breaking project with Nordoff Robbins, War Child and the biggest names in music, media and entertainment. Using our knowledge and expertise of the very latest technology, we believe that we can engage the world to play and fundraise, while elevating Cause-Related Entertainment to a new level."
Jo Carter, Director of Fundraising & Communications for Nordoff Robbins says: "Hum This! is a fun, free, brilliant app that uses music to engage people in a social way. We are delighted to be one of the two charities that will be supported through this innovative game. All funds raised will help us to continue to transform children's lives through our Nordoff Robbins music therapy work."

Education Experts Unite to Sparks Kids' Excitement About Politics - Published on 10/24/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THUD! Presidents Edition 1.2 by Ball & Sprocket Inc. presents tricky, fun and fact-filled presidential trivia. THUD! Presidents Edition 1.2 is an innovative new game that combines amusing trivia with core curriculum to ensure that users of all ages are enjoying themselves while learning interesting and often surprising historical information. The combination of humor and physics-based challenges makes learning easy and addictive and is a valuable teaching tool for parents and teachers.
Bethesda, Maryland - Just in time for the 2012 presidential election, educational game company, Ball & Sprocket, Inc. is pleased to introduce the THUD! Presidents Edition game for iOS devices. THUD! Presidents Edition 1.2 is an innovative new game that combines amusing trivia with core curriculum to ensure that users of all ages are enjoying themselves while learning interesting and often surprising historical information. The combination of humor and physics-based challenges makes learning with THUD! easy and addictive. A valuable teaching tool for parents and teachers, THUD! Presidents Edition is the first of many titles planned to be released in the THUD! educational game platform.
Developed by parents with over 50 years of education industry experience, the THUD! platform is designed to deliver quality curriculum in a way that is engaging and entertaining. With senior-level experience from Blackboard, Inc., Sylvan Learning, Hooked on Phonics, and The Teaching Company, the Ball & Sprocket, Inc. team holds firmly the belief that technology and humor can be combined to help kids regard learning as a fun experience and not as an activity that should be dreaded.
The objective in THUD! Presidents Edition is to complete each of its 40 levels by stacking building blocks unlocked by learning presidential trivia. The questions are themed around U.S. presidents, ranging from fun and wacky to historically relevant, and varying in difficulty with 2 levels of play: BRAINY and INSANEY. Did you know that John Quincy Adams kept a pet alligator in the White House bathtub? Or that Franklin D. Roosevelt was related to 11 other presidents? With THUD! Presidents Edition, parents, teachers and children have access to over 1,000 amazing questions featuring facts, quotes and historical trivia.
"The app store is a minefield of so-called educational games that frankly aren't very fun," said Andrew Rosen, Ball & Sprocket CEO. "THUD! is first and foremost fun to play, no matter what your age, or how much you know about the presidents."
"We focused on the game play first," Rosen added, "but when kids play for a little while, they surprise themselves with what they've learned."
In coordination with the upcoming 2012 election and the release of THUD! Presidents Edition, Ball & Sprocket has released a visually-compelling infographic titled 'Did You Know This About the Presidents?' to prove that learning about presidents can indeed be enjoyable. This infographic visualizes uncommon, fun and interesting facts about U.S. presidents. Included in the graphic are contrasts of U.S. presidents' heights and weights, presidential hereditary cross-connections, parties that U.S presidents have belonged to, causes of presidential deaths in office, values of presidents on combined currency, and wars that veteran presidents have served in.
THUD! Presidents Edition with 40 tricky levels is available for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, with the presidential election promotion being ran through November 6, 2012. A free version featuring 10 levels is also available.
Feature Highlights:
* More than 1,000 questions featuring facts, quotes, and amazing historical trivia
* 40 tricky levels
* 2 levels of play: BRAINY, for those who want to test their knowledge, and INSANEY, for those who know way too much about presidents and US history
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 13.1 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Thud! Presidents 1.2 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. A free version featuring 10 levels is also available.
