Cam note - A Good Idea for Organising Good Ideas - Published on 12/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Created by Active Soft, Cam note is a new system that's designed to help you increase productivity and go paperless in as few clicks as possible. The specially designed Cam note is a notepad that is scannable which comes with a free app, allowing you to quickly capture your handwritten notes via your smart phone's camera. Notepads are created to be as handy and portable as an everyday notepad, but also to work with the free Cam note app.

London, United Kingdom - New Cam note paper notepad turns handwritten notes digital and ushers them gently and methodically into the cloud. Do you have too many ideas? Several shopping lists? Maybe even a Christmas shopping list already? A disorganised notebook that takes ages to find the page you wanted? Do you sometimes pull soggy memos out of pockets of freshly washed jeans? Are there more sticky notes on your computer monitor than there are leaves on the trees? If this sounds like a description of your life, then it might be time to go digital.

Cam note, created by Active Soft, is a new system that's designed to help you increase productivity and go paperless in as few clicks as possible. The specially designed Cam note notepads are created to be as handy and portable as an everyday notepad, but also to work with the free Cam note app by cutting out some of the tedious steps that's usually associated with digitising memo's.

Cam note is a notepad that is scannable which comes with a free app, it allows you to quickly capture your handwritten notes via your smart phone's camera. The notepad's special markings make scanning with the free app, available for Android and iPhone, really quick and simple. The Cam note app and notepad work together to recognise what is important information and what is background. It makes cropping and saving much quicker.

Because of the special features of the seemingly innocuous notepads, Cam note cuts out all those manual steps you'd normally have to take when digitising notes. Don't worry, if you find you've left your notepad at home or you've written an amazing business idea on a napkin in the pub, the app still works with ordinary paper, although it will ask you to post-process your notes manually.

Cam note intelligently suggests how to crop your note to keep only the important information and after you tagged it. It syncs to your cloud service of choice including Evernote, Dropbox or Google Drive, making it available online wherever you go.

The tagging feature means that your notes are easily searchable. Unlike my paper notebook which takes several minutes of flicking through to find the ideas you want. When you tag your note and upload it to Evernote, your tags remain intact, making your paperless office that little bit more efficient. For even more efficiency, when you upload your notes to Evernote or Google Drive, they are compatible with their OCR technology.

Key Cam note benefits:
* Beautifully designed matt laminated notepads, available in A5 and A7
* Capture clear, easy to read notes on your smartphone
* Helps keep your office paperless
* Manage your notes online or on your computer
* Have your notes on your mobile so you don't lose them

Resolutions 2013 App Puts Your New Year's Resolutions on Autopilot - Published on 12/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2Morrow Mobile introduces Resolutions 2013 1.0 for iOS. 40% of the choices made each day are based on habit, not conscious thought. The Resolutions 2013 app helps people keep their New Year's Resolutions by creating better habits. Once a habit is formed, good or bad, that behavior or thought will keep working automatically. The app helps people be successful in changing habits by holding them accountable and offering reminders and rewards along the way so they can make 2013 their best year ever.

Redmond, Washington - Resolutions 2013 1.0 helps users keep their New Year's Resolutions by forming new habits. This app is based on other 2Morrow Mobile behavior change apps, which have been featured in the "What's Hot" section of iTunes in 121 countries and downloaded over 250,000 times. Last year's app hit #2 in the iTunes App Store (US) for Productivity apps and this year's app offers new features and improvements.

Resolutions 2013 builds off research by people like B.J. Fogg from Stanford and Charles Duhigg, author of "The Power of Habit," who both explain that it is hard to break old habits, but you can override them with new habits. The Fogg Behavior Model discusses three elements needed for behavior change: Motivation, Ability, and a Trigger. He also promotes changing "Tiny Habits" that are relatively easy to change. Even small changes can be life changing. In "The Power of Habit," Duhigg talks about keystone habits like exercise that can lead to other positive changes. He also suggests identifying the cue that triggers a habit, and then creating a new, better behavior to take the place of the old habit.

40% of the choices we make each day are based on habit, not conscious thought. The Resolutions 2013 app helps people keep their New Year's Resolutions by creating better habits. Once a habit is formed (good or bad), that behavior or thought will keep working automatically...it goes on autopilot. That is why it is important to create habits that work toward health and happiness.

Research shows it takes about 66 days to form a new habit. Resolutions 2013 helps people be successful in changing habits by holding them accountable and offering reminders and rewards along the way so they can make 2013 their "best year ever."

"Willpower can help get you started toward your goal, but it takes habit to create lasting change. We created the Resolutions 2013 app because when willpower runs out, we fall back on our habits." - Brandon Masterson, CEO 2Morrow Mobile.

How it works:
1. Take a Snapshot Score of where you are today
2. Define your Resolutions or goals
3. Identify habits that support your goals
4. Document why this change is important to you
5. Track your progress
6. Stick with it from 7-90 days or until it becomes habit

Users report that the act of daily recording their efforts helps them stay motivated. The app offers over 100 predefined habits or users can create their own. The app focuses on diet habits, fitness habits, financial habits, happiness habits and success habits - with the goal of helping people live healthier, happier, more successful lives. Resolutions 2013 also provides reminders if you get off track and uses your own motivational cues to keep you motivated. Along the way, users can share their progress with others via email or Facebook, earn badges and reach new milestones. The goal is to motivate and reward users for making the changes they wanted to make!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 17.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Resolutions 2013 1.0, regularly priced at $4.99 USD, is free for a limited time and available worldwide through the App Store in the Productivity category. Android users can download a similar app called My Pocket Coach from Google Play.

Padgram 3.0 for iPad: Powerful Instagram Viewer is U.S. Top 15 Photo App - Published on 12/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pinssible Labs today announces Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 3.0, a major update to its app, which has become the preferred Instagram viewer for iPad. Unlike other viewers, Padgram offers fast and simple tagging, browsing, and interaction with others for a better social experience, plus spam-free Shoutouts. The update includes support for both portrait and landscape orientation and browsing by category as well as popularity: Nature, Pets, Girls, Kids, Food, Fashion, Cars, and Architecture.

Wuhan, China - Pinssible Labs today is pleased to announce Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 3.0, a major update to its photo app, which has become the preferred Instagram viewer for iPad. Listed in the Top 25 Photo & Video apps in the U.S. App Store, Padgram offers fast and simple tagging, browsing, and interaction with other users for a better social experience, plus spam-free Shoutouts. The update includes support for both portrait and landscape orientation and browsing by category as well as popularity, including: Nature, Pets, Girls, Kids, Food, Fashion, Cars, and Architecture.

The most important new feature in this update of Padgram is a redesigned browsing system based on categories in addition to popularity. Although browsing based on number of followers is common in Instagram and Instagram viewers, results are often skewed towards celebrities and businesses. Instead of browsing the most popular photos, users instead are browsing the photos of the most popular people or companies posting photos. With the addition of browsing by categories, Padgram can now more accurately reflect the interest in photos posted by a broad spectrum of typical Instagram users. Each category contains 100 users of the service, chosen by experts at Padgram. Users can contact Padgram to apply for inclusion in a category, and new categories will be added over time.

Previous versions of Padgram included support for operation in landscape orientation only. Receiving many user requests for the addition of portrait orientation, version 3.0 now incorporates this feature. Portrait mode is particularly valuable for iPad mini users, who typically hold their iDevice in portrait orientation.

Padgram Feature Highlights:

Explore Interesting Photos
* NEW browse photos by Category: Nature, Pets, Girls, Kids, Food, Fashion, Cars, and Architecture
* Browse the photos you followed or liked
* Browse in a Map View, check out photos around the world
* Swiping Mode is enabled when viewing photos in full size, allowing users to easily swipe from one photo to another
* Search by tag or user name; contextual suggestions are given as you type
* Subscribe to any tag you are interested in

Vivid Liking and Commenting
* 1-tap or 2-tap to like photos
* 1-tap to tag a photo with a batch of popular tags
* Integrated Emoji keyboard with over 500 Emoji symbols
* Type any user's name in comments can immediately @ the user and start replying
* Tap on any comment to copy or delete it

Extensive Sharing Options
* Share photos to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Pocket and Sina Weibo
* Send photos via email or save to Camera Roll
* Print and send a photo as postcard

Check and Promote Profiles
* 1-tap to check out a user's photos, following's and followed-by info
* Follow or unfollow people
* Promote yourself or others with a beautiful collage, which is made of user's most liked photos

Beautiful Layout and Blistering Speed
* NEW support for both portrait and landscape orientation
* Optimized for Retina display
* Stacked layout makes it easy to return to where you were
* Named "the fastest Instagram iPad app" by users

Padgram 3.0 augments the social experience of Instagram viewing on the iPad. The user is presented with a grid of photos in whichever group he or she searches, whether it be Followed, Subscriptions, Likes, or Popular photos. The grid uses the entirety of the iPad's large screen, allowing for clear and vivid shots of each picture sized reasonably. To view just one picture, the user simply taps on the desired photo. A screen will then slide over, showing the photo's description, comments, and likes.

Here, the user is able to comment with just one tap on the "Add Comments" space. Along with the keyboard, Padgram also offers easy symbol use, so the user does not have to switch keyboards to add a common "at" symbol, hashtag, emoticon, etc. While a custom hashtag symbol on its own is available, the app also offers suggestions for popular tags.

Padgram's Searched feature is especially advanced in its suggestion technology. The app retains the user's searches, so that a user returning for the same search does not have to retype. The search feature also offers intelligent suggestions for user names or tags as users type, so they may choose one with just one simple click.

Sharing photos is easy with Padgram; it allows users to save and send pictures to email as well as the popular social networking sites Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Pocket, and Sina Weibo. The user's favorite pictures can be easily printed and sent as postcards.

The Promote (Shoutout) button selects six random photos a member has posted, and the app creates a visually pleasing collage. There are three photos in the top row and three in the bottom row, and each photo is tilted slightly, each overlapping two adjacent photos just a bit. This sophisticated design presents a sampling of the member's tastes and interests, and serves as a stylish image that is ideal for giving or requesting a Shoutout.

"We are always trying to be responsive to Padgram users' requests for new features," commented Paul Yan of Pinssible. "Support for portrait orientation and browsing by categories represent a major step in the evolution of Padgram."

Language Support:
* English and Chinese

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 7.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 3.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Liners boasts variety in its content which does not limit its selection to just quotes from the greats but also tongue-in-cheek humor and creative content that fits nearly any occasion.

Dallas, Texas - After Arcadia's success with PhotoPhrase, it was only natural that their developers would look for other enticing apps to add to their repertoire. Arcadia Apps today is pleased to announce the release of Liners, the most elegant and easiest to use iPhone app for entertaining one-Liners, quotes and witticisms. Liners' fresh monthly content is lauded as the number one application of its type. One-Liners can be shared instantly to Facebook, Twitter, email recipients, or via SMS.

Jose Castro, owner of Arcadia Apps says "the stylish textbook-like presentation allows you to 'flip' through hundreds of randomly selected one-Liners and notable quotations which can be favorited or shared at the touch of a button." Liners boasts variety in its content which does not limit its selection to just quotes from the greats but also tongue-in-cheek humor and creative content that fits nearly any occasion.

"We are excited about this app," Arcadia representatives say, "because its simplicity and versatility makes it an instant winner." Arcadia Apps' designers were inspired to provide a ready-resource of catchy material when they devised PhotoPhrase.

Liners offers:
* Amazing page by page turning

* Funny one Liners
* Comical one Liners
* Great quotes
* Original content

Also, Ricky Roe has joined the Arcadia Apps team to partner with Liners. As an experienced designer, Ricky's decision to expand into mobile app design was a logical one sparked by his major involvement in the UI and logo design for Zynga's highly popular game, "Words With Friends".

Mr. Castro Frenzel adds, "We are happy to have Ricky join our team, he is an asset to the mobile apps world and we are sure excited to work side by side with him."
