Compoundee iPhone and iPad apps updated with new features - Published on 11/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GoodHumans announces an update to its Compoundee family of financial apps for iOS devices. Compoundee is an easy to use financial calculator that solves compound interest, annuity, and time value of money problems. Easily calculate the future value of investments, or determine the rate, deposits, duration, or initial investment that is needed to reach a financial goal. Version 2.3 includes support for iPhone 5 and latest iPod touch, as well as adds passcode locking, graphs, & other key features.

Santa Cruz, California - GoodHumans is pleased to announce an update to the Compoundee family of apps for iOS devices. This latest update includes support for the 4 inch screen used by the iPhone 5 and latest iPod touch. The update also adds passcode locking, graphs, and other key features.

New features:
Users of Compoundee can now protect potentially sensitive financial calculations by requiring a passcode in order to run the app. This is accomplished by tapping on the More tab at the bottom right and then enabling the Passcode option. That prompts the user to enter a four-digit passcode and then confirm it by entering the code again. Following that process, the use will be prompted for that code any time the app is opened.

This update to Compoundee also adds the ability to view a graph of the calculation. The graph is displayed by tapping on the chart button that is second from the left at the top of the screen. That will show a screen with two line graphs. One graph shows the progression of the investment without accounting for inflation and other adjustments, and a second graph shows the adjusted amortization of the investment.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monolith Interactive Inc. today introduces MONO2 Test Oscillator & Professional Audio Tool 1.0.1, their first professional audio application for iPhone and iPod touch. Setting a new standard for audio applications on the iOS platform, it features a high-precision frequency dial offering both fine-tune and coarse-tune algorithms, allowing users to dial in exact frequencies with ease.

Waterloo, Canada - Monolith Interactive Inc. today is proud to announce the release of MONO2 Test Oscillator & Professional Audio Tool 1.0.1, their first professional audio application for iPhone and iPod touch.

CEO Simon Woodside said: "While no stranger to audio applications - having worked with one of the largest hearing aid manufacturers in the US to produce a medical-grade hearing test app - our new Test Oscillator app sets a new standard for audio applications on the iOS platform."

Waveforms include sine, square and a white noise generator, and users can program in two preset frequencies. A sweep function, which when actuated will sweep from a low frequency to a high frequency in a set amount of time - useful for finding resonant frequencies and isolating annoying rattles and buzzes within a listening environment

Swipe up on the main display with 2 fingers to access the app settings. Here, users can specify their own frequency presets, sweep low and high frequencies, sweep duration, sweep type (sine or ramp) and sweep cycle (on or off). Swipe down on this display with 2 fingers to return to the main display.

Clearly, a focus has been placed on audio precision, but Monolith Interactive Inc. is also delighted to offer what can be considered the most attractive audio application interface available. Senior User Interface Designer Brian Potstra said: "We wanted the app to have the familiar look and feel of high-end audio hardware - that feeling of tactile confirmation and precise control at your fingertips."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 Gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 2.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MONO2 Test Oscillator & Professional Audio Tool 1.0.1 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.

allAware 1.1, the free, instant social app for nonprofit organizations now supports QR Codes, making it easier for nonprofits to capture that moment of inspiration for quick mobile donations. For a small set up fee, organizations get QR code functionality for their account and their unique QR code linked directly to a donation form in the app. People will be able to select the amount they wish to donate, set it as a one-time or recurring donation, via pledge or real-time credit card payment.

Cooper City, Florida - Linxter announced today that it is adding Quick Response (QR) code mobile donation support to allAware 1.1 , a mobile app designed to enhance communication and member engagement for nonprofit organizations. "QR codes will make it even easier for members to support their organizations," Jason Milgram, founder and CEO of Linxter said. "All they will have to do is open the app and snap a picture."

For a small set up fee, organizations get the QR code functionality turned on for their account and a customized poster with their unique QR code, which will link directly to a donation form in the allAware app. People, whether they are a member of your organization or not, will then be able to select the amount they wish to donate, set it as a one-time or recurring donation, and either pledge the amount or select a credit card to make the payment in real-time.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for nonprofits to capture that moment of inspiration," Milgram said. "We have been hearing a lot of interest in member organizations about QR codes and we see them as a great tool in the nonprofit toolbox to help reach out and engage members."

QR codes are seeing an explosion in adoption. According to one study, usage of QR codes has skyrocketed by more than 600% from January to December 2011 in the Top 100 U.S. magazines with 99% of magazines publishing at least one QR code. According to another study, half of all smartphone users in the U.S. have scanned a QR code at least once. "As users become more comfortable using QR codes, we want to make sure allAware is right there with them," Milgram said. "Our goal is to make allAware the easiest platform for nonprofits to tell their stories, engage their members and enable simple mobile giving so the community can help keep the lights on at those nonprofits that work hard at making their community a better place."
