Coumadin User Says iOS Vitamin K App is Helping Save Her Life - Published on 11/06/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's iOS universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, Vitamin K, has been upgraded to make full use of the taller iPhone 5 screen size in version 3.5. The Vitamin K app allows users to easily find out how much vitamin K there is in over 900 different foods which is critical in helping keep the effectiveness of their blood thinning medications working properly. The foods are rated from Extremely Low to Extremely High in Vitamin K.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender's iOS universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, Vitamin K, has been upgraded to make full use of the taller iPhone 5 screen size. The Vitamin K 3.5 app allows users to easily find out how much vitamin K there is in over 900 different foods which is critical in helping keep the effectiveness of their blood thinning medications working properly. The foods are rated from Extremely Low to Extremely High in Vitamin K.

Ruth D of IL, a user of indie developer James Hollender's iOS universal app (for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) Vitamin K, says, "Your Vitamin K app is my most favorite. I'm sure its use has kept my Vit K intake from fluctuating on my Coumadin and in turn, helping to save my life."

Ruth goes on further to say, "The reason I said your app is helping to save my life is because my doctor wants me to keep my daily intake of Vit K between 50 & 70 micrograms. By figuring out in the morning what I'm going to eat the rest of the day I've been able to stay on a 4 mg Coumadin pill. That's pretty low seeing that a friend who doesn't pay any attention to Vit K content in food is on a 25 mg daily dose. Also, your app has made me aware of when I need to eat more Vit K in a day. Yesterday I had no Vit K foods for breakfast or lunch so at dinner time I had to be sure I ate enough K food to keep my daily amount level."

New to all 9 iNutrient apps (iKals, iCarbs, iCholesterol, iFiber, iProteins, iSatFat, iSodium, iSugars and Vitamin K) is the capability to record Custom Serving Sizes from 1 to 500 grams in 0.1 gram increments. Users can easily adjust the amounts while viewing the weight in not only grams, but also kilograms, ounces and pounds. In addition to immediate weight updates as you change the number of grams, the nutrient content and calories get updated also. This makes it easy to record the exact serving size you're looking for based on any of the variables: 9 for Vitamin K, 6 for iCals, and 7 for each of the others.

If you take blood thinning medications like Coumadin(R) or Warfarin (also known as Jantoven, Marfarin, Lawarin, Waran and Marevan), then this is an app you will truly make use of on a regular basis. Most lists providing information on the content of vitamin K (K1, K1D & K2) in foods generally contain only a limited number of foods, and often they don't indicate the serving size. It is important to understand that the goal isn't to not eat any foods with vitamin K, but rather to keep relatively constant the amount of vitamin K ingested each day so the amount of Coumadin(R) prescribed can work effectively. This can be different for every person using blood thinning medications, and this is why doctors require occasional blood tests as they indicate if the dosage needs to be adjusted.

All too often we hear that you should stay away from dark green leafy vegetables if you are using Coumadin, but there are a host of other foods containing vitamin K. Even the dark green leafy vegetables contain varying amounts of vitamin K. Further, each food has its own characteristics and sometimes whether it is fresh, frozen or canned can make a difference in the vitamin K content. The important thing to understand is you may be inadvertently ingesting something which you think doesn't contain any vitamin K when in fact it does. A good example would be carrots which contain varying amounts of vitamin K. A single baby carrot has only 0.9 mcg (very low) while a cup of canned carrot juice contains 36.6 mcg (high).

The Vitamin K app provides information about foods and how they are rated for Vitamin K content based on preparation and serving sizes. This is provided as a means to assist in deciding which foods to eat if you are using blood thinning medications such as Coumadin or Warfarin. The foods are rated from Extremely Low to Extremely High in Vitamin K. The following colors help readily identify which is which:

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Showing the locations of over 6,000 restaurants with play structures for kids and rest areas for the traveling family, PlayPlaces Ultimate Kids Road Trip App is a must have companion for those long rides with small children.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - AppAvenger has announced their iPhone app, PlayPlaces - Ultimate Kids Road Trip App 1.3, now supports the iPhone 5 larger screen.

PlayPlaces - Ultimate Kids Road Trip App was inspired when Mr. Peck took a 2,500 mile road trip with his young daughter. "Being able to plan and find places to let her run around and get some of that pent of energy out when on the road for that long was something I sure wished I had on that trip. She's a great traveler, but even with all the conveniences of today, DVD's, portable games and the like, kids still need to get that energy out. I wish I could have had this app for that trip." Mr. Peck said. So upon returning home he set about building it.

Further added to the app were locations of Rest Areas, to handle those "I Gotta Go!" moments from the backseat. No need to remember how many miles the last "next rest area" sign said, a quick glance at the app and you can know if you can make it or need to get off at the next exit.

"This is just the next step in the evolution of the product, the larger screen allows more information to be visible, but doesn't change its fundamental premise.. Useful information for the family when and where they need it."

Budapest, Hungary - The Gamma Project is proud to announce the release of my Travel Assistant 1.9, available now for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. my Travel Assistant 1.9 marks a major update to the all-in-one global expense tracker, currency converter, and translator. With this update, users will see a largely enhanced feature set, and a completely redone UI, among other improvements.

Featured by Apple as one of the top travel apps of 2011, my Travel Assistant provides all of the tools necessary to help manage your budget while you travel the world. Record your expenses on the fly (in any of the 150 foreign currencies), stay up to date with the latest currency exchange rates, and maintain control in foreign countries with the built-in translator.

You asked, and the Gamma Project has answered. Version 1.9 of my Travel Assistant brings an onslaught of user-requested features, including iPhone 5 support, a revamped user interface, more expense categories, and an overall smoother user experience.

iPhone 5 Support:
* Along with the taller format, iPhone 5 users will appreciate an extra statistics display on the home page. Here, users can view a pie-chart that shows the top three expense categories from the first trip on the list.

Revamped UI:
* iPad users can rejoice as the iPad UI has been overhauled to provide for a more user-friendly experience. Say good-bye to the annoying pop-overs and odd glitches. my Travel Assistant 1.9 features a freshly debugged UI, and a lean user experience.

* All users will be able to appreciate the reworked UI which provides for a streamlined experience, allowing users to stay within their budget without missing a beat. Easily access your expenses list, the currency converter, and the built-in translator with just a tap from the main menu. As requested by users, both trips and trip items can now be edited with a single tap. Also, take note of the enlarged buttons which make the app even easier to use. In a few taps, your expenses will be updated, or revised, and you will be on your way once again. The expense list has also been enhanced to allow users to apply any photo from their library as the trip logo.

More Localizations:
* my Travel Assistant now features German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian and Romanian localizations!

Other Usability Enhancements:
Want more efficiency? Check out the new search capability in the currency, language, and expense category selectors, or the 27 new expense categories. Also, users can now keep track of time and gas with the new trip start/end dates, and the odometer field in the Fuel category.

my Travel Assistant 1.9 is the most practical and efficient travel companion available today. No travel app is easier to use. Still wondering when my Travel Assistant would come in handy? Consider these situations:

* You find yourself in a foreign country, lacking knowledge of both the local currency and language. With my Travel Assistant, you can easily convert between the local currency, and a currency that you are comfortable with. At the same time, converse with the locals with the built-in translator.

* You spend your summer in the same foreign country every year. Say, one year you notice that your hotel bill seems higher than usual. By checking your previous trip expenses in my Travel Assistant, you might find that a mistake had been made with the bill. That's just one of the many ways that my Travel Assistant can help you stay in control of your money.
