IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alien Bass LLC today introduces FishParty FunBand 1.0 for iOS, a unique game for kids of all ages that lets you control a subaquatic Rock or Hip Hop band in real time, using hi-tech software instruments and your own voice recordings as samples. The app combines gaming and electronic music techniques, inspiring kids to explore their musical creativity. Songs are improvised by the band, an algorithmic rhythm generator that evolves the melodies and drum patterns over time, keeping the beats fresh.

Bethesda, Maryland - Unleash your remixing skills to impress your saltwater friends with fresh beats and funky jams! Drop some beats and vocals with hydro hip-hop celebrities, The Treasurechest Three, or thrash water with Rockaway Beach renegades, The Gills. Swim backstage for in-sync and on-tempo sample recording and sound board fun.

FishParty FunBand allows you to choose between freestyle and game mode when remixing songs. In game mode, the light fish indicates when and where to press to make a funky jam. Funky jams fill the progress bar, rewarding you with new musical compositions and animations.

TrobyWorks releases their latest Christian app, God's Promises for iOS - Published on 12/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Christian app God's Promises 1.0, available today on the Apple App Store, offers Christians a way to stay in God's Word even during their busiest day. We have chosen over 800 Bible verses in 50+ categories designed to edify, encourage, and strengthen your walk with God everyday in a clean and easy to read interface. You're never too busy to hear what God has to say and now every Christian around the world can get an encouraging and uplifting word from God on the go.

Winston Salem, North Carolina - The Christian app God's Promises, available today on the Apple App Store, offers Christians a way to stay in God's Word even during their busiest day. Trobyworks has chosen over 800 Bible verses in 50+ categories designed to edify, encourage, and strengthen your walk with God everyday in a clean and easy to read interface. You're never too busy to hear what God has to say and now every Christian around the world can get an encouraging and uplifting word from God on the go.

The God's Promises app features a new "Daily Verse" uploaded each day, over 50 categories of scriptures so you can easily find a scripture that is applicable to what you are facing at that very moment, the ability to share your faith and God's Word with your friends on Facebook, and the option to choose from the most popular Bible translations including King James Version, New King James Version, New International Version, and New American Standard Bible.

Every word in the Bible is a promise from God. Reflect on these promises that are categorized by subjects such as "love," "forgiveness," and "salvation," and strengthen your walk with Christ as you turn to Him all throughout your day.

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things." Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

Carry His Word in your pocket everywhere you go to direct your focus to God's word over circumstances that you are facing daily and start making progress to fulfill the purpose that God has planned for you.

Not only can you easily read God's promises for you, but you can share those very promises with the people in your life. Jesus said to his disciples after he rose from the dead: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV).

God is with us always. Use this app as a tool to stay close to the One who created you and knew everything about you even before the day you were born.

"We are dedicated to releasing the most practical and inspirational Christian iPhone apps possible and are focused on sharing and spreading God's Word through technology. We are proud of our existing apps that are designed for Pastors and other church leaders and feel there are numerous other opportunities to reach people for Jesus in our increasingly busy lives. We've received encouraging feedback and look forward to being used by God to further His Kingdom on earth" - Rob Puryear, founder of Trobyworks.
