PopChar X 6.1 shows detailed information about your fonts - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ergonis Software today released PopChar X 6.1, an improved version of the company's award-winning tool for efficiently dealing with fonts and special characters. The new version adds a new Font Info view, which shows detailed font information like version number, properties, supported languages, copyright and license statements, information about the designer, manufacturer, vendor, and more.

Hagenberg, Austria - Ergonis Software today is proud to announce the release of PopChar X 6.1, an improved version of the company's award-winning tool for efficiently dealing with fonts and special characters. PopChar has been at the hands of writers, publishers, and designers for 25 years, helping them to find and type special characters.

With version 6, PopChar has evolved from a plain character picker to a versatile font utility. The new version continues along this path and adds a new Font Info view, which shows detailed font information like version number, properties, supported languages, copyright and license statements, information about the designer, manufacturer, vendor, and more.

In addition, PopChar X 6.1 includes custom tunings for more than 600 fonts, including the BeLight Font Kit and some foreign language fonts. Furthermore, PopChar now remembers the selected font across quit and relaunch, offers improved vertical positioning of certain non-standard fonts, and adds a number of other enhancements.

PopChar solves a problem faced by every technologist and multi-lingual worker. Inserting special characters into application documents can be frustrating and results in a steady loss of productivity. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document right away.

System Requirements:
PopChar X 6.1 requires OS X 10.5.8 or newer and is fully compatible with OS X Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8).

Pricing and Availability:
PopChar X can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website. The upgrade to PopChar 6.1 is free for anyone who owns a valid license for PopChar X 6. Visit Ergonis Software's website to view the long list of further improvements and enhancements contained in this release and to download a trial copy. Upgrade paths are available for owners of older licenses.

See the company's web site for information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers. Instead of purchasing PopChar separately, customers can save money by ordering the Ergonis Productivity Bundle, which also includes the text expander Typinator and the keyboard shortcut helper KeyCue.

Redeemco.de - App Store Promo Codes Done Right - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TappyTaps launches Redeemco.de, the new web-based app marketing tool which helps developers distribute App Store promotional codes using a new method. With Redeemco.de, developers can offer a promo code to more than the usual 50 people and, consequently, get far greater exposure for all their apps. With Redeemco.de, the developer sends a special "Code link" instead of the promo code itself; the real promo code is dispersed only when the recipient is interested in trying the app.

Prague, Czech Republic - TappyTaps launches Redeemco.de, the new web-based app marketing tool which helps developers distribute App Store promotional codes using a new method. With Redeemco.de developers can offer a promo code to more than the usual 50 people and, consequently, get far greater exposure for all their apps.

"We developed Redeemco.de simply because we needed such a tool for promoting our apps" said Jindrich Sarson, CEO of TappyTaps. "When requesting app reviews in press, it is really painful to deal with promo codes. Developers have only 50 of them and you have no idea if the code has been used or not; so, at the end, most of your codes expire unused."

A desire to make life easier for both app developers and app reviewers was the primary reason that the TappyTaps team decided to develop Redeemco.de.

With Redeemco.de, the developer sends a special "Code link" instead of the promo code itself; the real promo code is dispersed only when the recipient is interested in trying the app. As the number of these links is not limited in any way, everyone has the possibility to download the app for free with just two clicks. At the same time, codes are not wasted on those who are not interested. Furthermore, unlike the traditional promo codes - and as an added bonus - the links never expire.

Key features:
* Smart promo code management. Sending "code links" instead of the real promo codes enables developers to introduce their app to a wider audience without wasting any of their promo codes. When these codes are redeemed, developers know straightaway who has redeemed them, thereby easing the follow-up to interested parties. In addition, bloggers and journalist have no need to ask for, or deal with, promo codes and can simply install the app with just two clicks.

* Promotions. Contacts in Redeemco.de can be organized into promotions according to country or occasion.

* Effective giveaways. You can set the number of codes to giveaway and then paste the giveaway link to Facebook, Twitter or a forum. Redeemco.de will create a beautiful landing page, offer to distributes free codes for the lucky ones, and direct purchase for the rest. As an added value, users do not have to waste time copying and pasting the promo codes, only to find out that they have already been redeemed.

* Useful statistics. These make it easy to find out who has used your codes and how your promotions or giveaways have performed

* Press recruiting page. On this page, the press guys can request promo codes for application. "If you want the promo code for our app, send us an email," is boring. Developers can now use a special recruitment link instead - far better and far easier!

* Online application. This can be accessed from any computer or tablet without the need for an iTunes Connect login. This makes it possible to cooperate within a team where not everyone has access to iTunes Connect.

* Supports iOS App store and Mac app store apps

Following feedback from his team, Sarson states, "We have been testing Redeemco.de for over six months when promoting our Baby Monitor 3G app, and we get great results. We managed to generate up to 70% more reviews in press than we did before."

TappyTaps plans to introduce more features in the near future, starting with the iBooks store support, more advance giveaways and, last but not least, promo codes for Android apps (which are now in the testing phase). The goal is to become a complete CRM system for app developers and publishers.

Pricing and Availability:
Redeemco.de is currently in beta version and available for free. The basic version will remain free when, in early 2013, affordable advanced features are to be introduced.

iOS Apps, Life Inventory, Can Enhance the Quality of User's Life - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory apps can enhance the quality of the user's life. The iPad version and the iPhone version are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to an enhanced quality of life. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory apps can enhance the quality of the user's life. The iPad version (selected earlier this year as the #3 top iOS app) and the iPhone version are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to an enhanced quality of life. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory for iPad guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory in writing:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to write out their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory for iPad app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

James Hollender is also the author of a suite of Nutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database:
* iCarbs (Carbohydrates)
* iCholesterol (Dietary Cholesterol)
* iFiber
* iKals (Calories)
* iProteins
* iSatFat (Saturated Fat)
* iSodium (Vitamins K1, K1D & K2)
* iSugars
* Vitamin K

Device Requirements:
* "Life Inventory" - iPhone and iPod touch
* "Life Inventory for iPad" - iPad only
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory and Life Inventory for iPad 2.6 are $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of the app is $1.99, a supplement that provides a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation. A similar version is also available for the iPhone and iPod touch. Review copies are available on request.

128bit Technologies Releases MacOptimizer 1.2 - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

It's better to regularly take care of your Mac rather than wait until something bad happens. California based 128bit Technologies today announces MacOptimizer 1.2, an update to its disk utility application for Mac OS X. Incredibly fast and efficient, MacOptimizer can quickly help you clean, repair and organize your Mac. Version 1.2 introduces new optimization features that allow you to repair disk permissions and empty iPhoto Trash, and enhanced support for file types in its Desktop Genie.

San Francisco, California - MacAppware, a division of 128bit Technologies, announced today a new update to its speedy disk utility application for Mac OS X. MacOptimizer is an incredibly fast and efficient disk utility to quickly help you clean, repair and organize your Mac.

MacOptimizer 1.2 adds new Optimization features and enhances Desktop Genie. The new Optimization features include:

Repair Disk Permissions - If you experience problems with an application not opening, launching slowly or having problems with application plugins you may need to repair permissions. This tool is also good to run if you notice your Mac is taking longer to start up or shut down. Repair Disk Permissions only repairs files and applications that were installed using Apple's installer package and are located on bootable volumes that have Mac OS X installed.

Empty iPhoto Trash - When you delete photos in iPhoto, the photo files are not moved to your regular Trash but iPhoto's own Trash. The iPhoto Trash is not emptied unless you remember to do this in iPhoto, and can quickly get filled up, take up unnecessary space on your Mac and cause iPhoto to open and run slower.

MacOptimizer 1.2 also adds new file support for Desktop Genie. Desktop Genie now supports .avi file type. Current MacOptimizer users can update the application by selecting "Check for Updates..." from the MacOptimizer menu.

More Details On Macoptimizer:
No operating system is perfect, and Mac OS X is no exception. Do you have applications that keep crashing or don't even open? Have you noticed your Mac is running slower? Are you having trouble locating files or folders on your Desktop? MacOptimizer gets your Mac back in shape with essential tools to:

* Clean your system caches
* Optimize your Mac
* Speed up Apple Mail
* Free up inactive memory
* Run regular maintenance
* Customize system settings
* Remove unnecessary language files
* Clean and organize your Desktop
* And more

Even if you have a brand new Mac you can still find MacOptimizer helpful in cleaning up unnecessary language files, keeping your Desktop organized, and keeping your Mac running like new at all times. It's better to regularly take care of your Mac rather than wait until something bad happens.

Pricing and Availability:

The IPEVO Perch Security Stand for iPad is Now Available - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tech company IPEVO's newest product is the Perch Security Stand, offering a way to securely mount the iPad 3 or iPad 2 while preventing theft or accidental damage. The Perch Security Stand comes in S-Type, intended for desktops and tabletops, M-Type for seated users, and the longest L-Type for standing users. All three feature a sleek forged aluminum leg and heavy-gauge steel feet. The holder can mount the device in either landscape or portrait orientation, & the viewing angle can be customized.

Sunnyvale, California - The Perch Security Stand has recently been announced as the newest product from IPEVO, a maker and designer of technology products for education and business. Touted as a "complete interactive kiosk solution," the Perch Security Stand offers a lockable mount for the iPad 3 and iPad 2 that prevents the tablet from being removed. Three different sizes of the Perch Security Stand are now available at the IPEVO Online Store.

The Perch Security Stand comes in S-Type, intended for desktops and tabletops, M-Type for seated users, and the longest L-Type for standing users. All three feature a sleek forged aluminum leg and heavy-gauge steel feet. The thick plastic holder accommodates the third generation of Apple's iPad (i.e. iPad 3) as well as the iPad 2. The holder can mount the device in either landscape or portrait orientation, and the viewing angle can be customized with a gentle tug thanks to the holder's dual-axis hinge.

The security holder also features two locks - one on the neck which prevents the holder from being removed from the stand, and a second lock which prevents the iPad from being removed from the holder. Thus, the iPad is protected from theft and from accidental damage due to dropping or similar. This is ideal for businesses (like restaurants, salons, boutique shops, art galleries and more) as well as educational institutions which can benefit from the public display of an interactive multimedia kiosk.

There are two other elements which contribute to IPEVO's complete interactive kiosk solution. The first is a home button lock which comes with the stand. This lock can be optionally installed to prevent the user from hitting the home button and thus exiting the current app, video, etc. The second element is the IPEVO Showcase app, which is now available at no cost through the Apple App Store. Showcase features customizable options which limit and control the user's experience. Showcase can prevent the user from operating the iPad's touchscreen, and Showcase can return the browser to the home page after each user is done browsing, for two examples.

"With Perch Security Stand and its companion Showcase app, we've created a versatile 'set it and forget it' type of interactive kiosk for iPad," said Royce Hong, CEO and big head of design of IPEVO. "Educators and businesspeople are discovering the advantages of a kiosk-style presentation to show off their products, deliver information, or entertain, but they don't want to have to babysit the device. Perch Security Stand offers three sizes of mounts for all user scenarios, and it also offers peace of mind with two locks which prevent device removal."

All three sizes of the Perch Security Stand are now available at the IPEVO Online Store. The IPEVO Showcase app is available at no charge through the Apple App Store.

Deal Drop App Featured in Wired Magazine as Bargain Hunting Tool - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Deal Drop, the mobile app that helps shoppers save time and money by bringing the latest discounts directly to them, has been selected by Wired Magazine to be featured in its annual guide of recommended apps. Deal Drop was one of only 300 apps chosen to be included in Wired Magazine's App Guide in print and online, and earned a score of 8 out of 10. The app puts thousands of daily deals at users' fingertips from Woot, Groupon, Living Social, Tanga, and more.

Sacramento, California - Deal Drop, the mobile app that helps shoppers save time and money by bringing the latest discounts directly to them, has been selected by Wired Magazine to be featured in its annual guide of recommended apps.

Deal Drop was one of only 300 apps chosen to be included in Wired Magazine's App Guide in print and online, and earned a score of 8 out of 10. In the "Deals and Bargains" section, Wired liked how local deals could be shown for multiple cities, and how deals were organized and searchable. The app has also been featured by iPad Today, Appolicious, Droid Nerds, Locker Gnome, and other publications.

"I'm excited and honored to have the Deal Drop app be recognized by Wired Magazine, an authority in the world of technology," said Darren Phillips, creator of Deal Drop. "Since the app debuted in 2009, I've continually updated and improved it with two goals in mind: to save you money and make finding the best deals easier."

With Deal Drop (formerly iDealyzer), consumers now have all the best daily offers in one place. Users can save 40%, 50%, 60% or more on popular products from local and national stores. This free app is available for the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.

Deal Drop puts thousands of daily deals at users' fingertips from Woot, Groupon, Living Social, Tanga, and more. Customize the list from 80 national and 4,500 local daily deals to see just the most relevant coupons.

The app also delivers money-saving discounts from popular shopping destinations such as Target, Buy, eBay, Newegg, and more. As an optional feature, users can choose to be notified when there are new discounts from their favorite stores.

Designed for anyone seeking a bargain, Deal Drop helps people save on brand name items such as computers, apparel, travel, gifts, jewelry, electronics, and more. Shoppers can view top deals and order them directly from their mobile device.

"With Deal Drop, you can sit back and let huge discounts come right to you," Darren Phillips said. "The app scours the top daily deal and shopping websites to help you save money on brand name products online, in stores, and where you live."

As daily deal websites and online shopping continues to grow in popularity, it can be difficult for bargain hunters to find the best deals or keep up with the latest discounts. To solve this problem, the Deal Drop app was created for shoppers who love deals - but do not love having to read all those emails. Instead, this innovative app collects all the most valuable coupons in one convenient place.

Many online deals are valid only for a limited time - 24 hours or as little as 30 minutes. However, with the Deal Drop app, shoppers no longer have to worry about missing out on money-saving discounts. The app brings the latest savings directly to them, ending the time-consuming hassle of looking through all the daily deal websites and emails. This lets people see deals sooner so they can grab products before they sell out or discounts before their expire.

In addition, the app allows users to easily let friends and family know about the latest bargains through email, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

Deal Drop helps users by:
* Saving them money on brand name products: Getting them instant access to discounts of 40%, 50%, 60% or more
* No more hunting for sales: Save time by viewing coupons all in one place
* Know about deals faster: Grab the savings before they sell out or expire
* Customize deals shown: Shoppers can choose their favorite stores and select a city for local discounts
* Get pop-up alerts: Choose to receive push notifications of favorite deals (optional)

Device requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android
* Requires iOS 4.0 and later or Android 2.2.x and later
* 4.8 MB

Pricing and availability:
Deal Drop 1.8 is currently available in the US through the App Store in the Lifestyle category and Google Play in the Shopping category for free.

Sopwith Barons Revives Combat Flight Classic From 1984 - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Uchinasoft today introduces Sopwith Barons 1.0.2, its new gaming title for iOS devices. Use your Bi-plane to destroy all of the enemy targets while avoiding enemy aircraft trying to shoot you down. Every challenger will face-off with the Red Baron but keep an eye out for the Blue, Green, and Brown Barons. Sopwith Barons features game-play statistics, achievements, medals, feats, and dynamic enemy AI to stop the player's flight to victory.

Chatan, Japan - Fans of classic games take to the skies with the spiritual renewal of one of the earliest combat flight titles: Sopwith. The aptly named reboot, Sopwith Barons, stays true to its roots: Use your Bi-plane to destroy all of the enemy targets while avoiding enemy aircraft trying to shoot you down. This time, both sides have more tools and tactics at their disposal!

David L. Clark of BMB Compuscience pioneered the side-scrolling combat flight shoot 'em up with Sopwith in 1984. The addicting features of dogfighting and destructible environments led to widespread distribution and rapid follow-up with Sopwith 2 and another variant, The Red Baron. More advanced flight simulators eclipsed the franchise by the 1990s and the series lie dormant with the source code eventually released. Enter Uchinasoft this month with new twists on this old classic.

Sopwith Barons takes the challenge a step further with game-play statistics, achievements, medals, feats, and dynamic enemy AI to stop the player's flight to victory. That path to victory will be a tricky one. Every challenger will face-off with the Red Baron but keep an eye out for the Blue, Green, and Brown Barons. Every enemy ace employs different tactics and weapon combinations to reduce the player's score. While every battle can be won, the final scores depend entirely on how well the player manages the enemies, their allies, and their aircraft. Survivors of the battle should be sure to check their standings on Game Center. Scores are tracked on the Leaderboard and 24 achievements will keep challengers busy for hours. Diligent players may discover the hidden "retro mode", where the new features of Sopwith Barons can be enjoyed in a faithful reproduction of the original classic.

When asked "Why Sopwith?", the lead developer at Uchinasoft reflected on many lost hours reaching highest possible score back when Sopwith was the only title in town. "A nostalgic playback last month led me to the app store to search a modern replacement, only to come up empty-handed. I dropped everything to push this out the door if only so I could play it for myself!". Depending on the interest, Uchinasoft has fleshed out plans for new scenarios, more airplanes, expanded challenges, multiple leaderboards, and even multiplayer.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 14.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Sopwith Barons 1.0.2 is available Free to play worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. It is also available on Google Play. Visit the website for the latest news about Sopwith Barons.
