Snooze Minutes: Best Wake Up Motivation - You Pay if You Hit the Snooze! - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tap Nation, a mobile entertainment company, released Snooze Minutes 1.0 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, a must-have app for sleepyheads. The app offers an efficient anti-snooze system: users have to pay for every snooze they make. When a user first launches the app, 70 minutes are given to snooze, once they're gone, users can buy additional minutes to be able to snooze the alarm. This is when everyone understands the real value of both time and money.

New York, New York - Tap Nation, a mobile entertainment company, is pleased to release Snooze Minutes 1.0 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, a must-have app for all sleepyheads. The core idea of the app is simple: users have to pay for every snooze they make.

Gone are the days when people used to spend too much time dozing and oversleeping for a meeting, work, or a date. Regular alarm clocks are quite ineffective for those who always hit the snooze button. With Snooze Minutes, a great solution is finally here: money is put at stake driving people to get out of bed right away. When a user first launches the app, 70 minutes are given to snooze, once they're gone, users can buy additional minutes to be able to snooze the alarm. And this is when everyone understands the real value of both time and money.

But that's not all, because even after hitting the stop button users will have to prove they're truly awake - a dot pattern code pops up asking users to draw the code. After going through all these steps, a user no longer wants to go back to bed.

Snooze Minutes has all the features of an alarm clock: customizable alarm tones, background alarm support and ability to set multiple alarms. Furthermore, it provides local weather information and can be used in a bedside mode - just like good old digital alarm clocks. With a customizable layout every user can choose what to see on the display.

Snooze Minutes users can brag about their wake-up experience on Facebook and Twitter and get free minutes every 24 hours.

"Let's face it, it's always hard to wake up early in the morning especially when you can just hit the snooze button and keep sleeping. But what if you have to pay per snooze - that's going to get anyone out of bed - and that's what snooze minutes is all about. I'm sure that users are going to love it," commented Valdis Pikmanis, VP of Tap Nation.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 32.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Snooze Minutes 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Six Million Ringtones Later, Ringtones Uncensored Users Get More Voices - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NoTie announces Ringtones Uncensored Pro 13.2. No Tie's Ringtones Uncensored app has been so popular, and fun, that it's no wonder users of the app have created over six million custom talking ringtones using the variety of Text-To-Speech voices in the app. Now, No Tie has added voices from India, Ireland, Scotland, and Australia, in addition to the voice of Apple's Siri. Users can create ringtones that are professional, for Talking Caller ID, or outrageous announcing anything they can imagine.

Rochester, New York - The iPhone is great, and Siri makes it even better. But the iPhone still doesn't tell you who is calling. To solve this need, No Tie created Ringtones Uncensored, a powerful app that lets users create talking ringtones that speak whatever the user types, using more than fifty Text-To-Speech voices.

No Tie's Ringtones Uncensored app has been so popular, and fun, that it's no wonder users of the app have created over six million custom talking ringtones using the variety of Text-To-Speech voices in the app. Now, No Tie has added voices from India, Ireland, Scotland, and Australia, in addition to the voice of Apple's Siri!

Voices in the PRO version 13.2 include British, Australian, Old Man, Jersey Girl, Valley Girl, and many more. Users can create ringtones that are professional, for Talking Caller ID, or outrageous announcing anything they can imagine! Ringtones work on iPhone and iPad or iPod touch (to announce email, iMessage, alarm clock alerts and more) as well as Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone devices.

The user types their script, choose a speaking voice, and optionally an introductory sound effect. 200 FX are included in the PRO version, and are a great way to 'get your attention' before the custom message is spoken. Touch the create button and then the ringtone is created. Users get a custom URL, such as www.RINGTON.ES/BWayne where they can download their ringtones and they can share that address with friends. This is a great way to share custom tones. Users can create ringtones for their friends to use when they call those friends! And it doesn't matter what kind of phone those friends have. Imagine, Apple's Siri announcing your call, on an Android phone!

Players should be sure to avoid the poisonous green gas bottles, as they explode one of the lives are lost in Survive mode. High scores for each mode are listed in the upper left-hand corner, allowing users to challenge their own best scores with each new round. Entertaining sound effects, such as slicing noises and exploding bottles, as well as high quality graphics, such as splattered fruit pies, make the game enjoyable as well as challenging.

Once users have accumulated enough Gold Star points, they can purchase different martial arts swords and backgrounds for Master, Jessi, and Hirok. Master's sword types include Dragon Blade, BlackNight Blade, Diamond Blade, and Secret Blade. Hirok's sword types include FireRed Blade, Ice Blue Blade, Titanium Blade, and Secret Blade.

Puschel 2 - A Koala Bear's Adventure: new Children's book app for iPad - Published on 12/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

You Logic AG today introduces Puschel 2 - Adventure in the Eucalyptus Forest, its new children's ebook for iPad. This interactive book takes little children, age three or older, on an exciting discovery journey. It introduces them to a koala bear named Puschel and his friends from the Australian continent. Marietta Wahl's story has been illustrated with watercolor paintings by Andreas Koridass. Children can read it themselves, or have it read to them in one of three languages.

Wiesbaden, Germany - Australia is far away from home, which is probably one of the main reasons why it holds such fascination for children. All the unfamiliar animals, which live on the continent, will make it exciting for the children to get to know Australia.

Explorers age 3 and up are going to have a lot of fun with the new iPad app "Puschel 2 - Adventure in the Eucalyptus Forest". The interactive multimedia children's book tells the story of animals from "Down Under". It is the brainchild of children's book author Marietta Wahl and was illustrated with beautiful watercolor paintings by Andreas Koridass.

Puschel, Cassandra and Tommy are on the move in Australia. The discovery app for little world travelers teaches the children about Australian animals. They are going to find out what koalas really like to eat, for example. Besides that, "Puschel 2" is also a very exciting adventure story. Authentic jungle noises immediately create the appropriate atmosphere.

The koala bear Puschel, and his friends, are on they way across the Australian outback. He is joined by the albino kangaroo Tommy and the snake Cassandra. During their journey through the eucalyptus forest the three friends encounter lots of animals - and come to realize that there are quite a few rivalries between the species, which are not exactly easy to overcome.

The children may read the story themselves in English, German or Spanish. Another option is to have it read to them page by page. The book features twelve chapters with interactive illustrations (animations and sounds), that offer plenty of interesting discoveries. If the children need to take a break from all the exciting discovery work, the app will keep track of how fare they have come in the book. They may continue exactly where they left off, before they put down the iPad. A Dingo tree climbing game and a quiz about Australia and koalas completes the app.

In a nutshell:
* Just released: Puschel 2 - Adventure in the Eucalyptus Forest"
* App is suitable only for the iPad
* Children's book app for little animal lovers age 3 and up
* Read-aloud function in English, German and Spanish

Mac App Blocker 2.0 for OS X - A Single Password Protects Selected Apps - Published on 12/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KnewSense has announced Mac App Blocker 2.0 for OS X, an update to its utility that enables users to block access to applications by placing them on a Blocked App list, which is password protected. A safer and more practical solution for ensuring privacy than creating multiple login accounts, Mac App Blocker allows users to share their computer or leave it unattended, while being assured that sensitive apps and documents cannot be opened. The simple app appears as a convenient Menu Bar icon.

Clinton Twp, Michigan - KnewSense has announced the release of Mac App Blocker 2.0 for OS X, an update to its utility that enables users to block access to Mac applications by placing them on a Blocked App list, which is password protected. A safer and more practical solution for ensuring privacy than creating multiple login accounts, Mac App Blocker allows users to share their computer or leave it unattended, while being assured that sensitive apps and documents cannot be opened. In addition, a timeout value may be assigned to each app on the list, so that the app will automatically close after a specified period of inactivity. The simple app appears as a convenient Menu Bar icon, and gives the user the option of whether or not it launches automatically at startup.

Feature Highlights:
* Does not modify any system or application files
* Runs in the background waiting to intercept an application launch
* Works with the majority of Mac applications - Mail, Safari, Firefox, System Preferences, etc.
* Logs invalid or failed attempts to launch application with date and time and optional photo
* Alerts users to a possible failed attempt with a visible red icon in the taskbar
* Can automatically Exit an inactive application - great for Apple Mail and Safari
* Optionally exit ALL protected apps at System Startup

Mac App Blocker requires minimal setup for operation. First, the user must supply a private password, which will unlock both the utility itself as well as any application that has been placed on its Blocked App list. Once started, the app runs in the background, occupying little RAM and using minuscule CPU resources only when the app's password is entered or changes are made to the Blocked App list. The number of applications that can be placed under the utility's protection is virtually unlimited. The second step is clicking the "+" button to add applications to the list.

Improvements in Version 2.0:
* Scheduling - add scheduled days/times to block/unblock each application or All applications
* Networks - add trusted networks to unblock applications when connected to specific networks
* Updated User Interface - Blocked apps and Preferences now in one window

On attempting to launch any application on the Blocked App list, the standard OS X "Enter Password" window opens, stating, "Type your Mac App Blocker password to allow access to this application." Entering the password instantly opens the application, and failed attempts are recorded in the utility's Blocked App list, displaying the number of failed attempts, the date, time, and a photo of the user. The app's Menu Bar lock icon turns red, notifying the user that an unsuccessful attempt has been made to open blocked data/apps. Additional protection is provided by the utility's timeout feature, which automatically closes any listed app after a specified period of inactivity (30 sec., 5 min., 10 min., 20 min.). Of course, listed applications can be easily added or deleted, and all protection can be disabled for a single session, resuming on restart.

"Kids, co-workers, family members, guests - no worries," stated Ken Orlo of KnewSense. "You pick which apps will be protected and Mac App Blocker keeps them secure. It also tracks failed attempts to access the protected apps - so you'll know when it happened."

Jazz 1.3 for iOS - Photo Editor Creates Infinite Styles of Your Photos - Published on 12/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GG Filmz today announces Jazz 1.3 for iOS, an update to their powerful photo editor that easily generates a limitless number of looks for your photos. Developed by award-winning visual effects director Ray Giarratana, Jazz improvises on any photo, offering four new interpretations at a time, at the touch of a button. With its 17 powerful filters, users can tweak any processed photo to achieve nearly any desired look, save their own style presets, and share photos.

Los Angeles, California - GG Filmz today is pleased to announce Jazz 1.3 for iOS, an update to their powerful photo editor that easily generates a limitless number of looks for your photos. Developed by award-winning visual effects director, Ray Giarratana, Jazz improvises on any photo, offering four new interpretations at a time, at the touch of a button. With its 17 powerful filters, users can tweak any image-processed photo to achieve nearly any desired look, save their own style presets, quickly compare examples of before and after, and share or save photos. With complete editing, powerful filters, effects, and unlimited vintage & retro looks and styles, Jazz is perfect for posting to Instagram, Facebook, tumblr, and Twitter.

Jazz is an infinitely flexible image processor/photo editor app that offers completely automatic and manual control of 17 artistic photo filters. Unlike other photo apps, Jazz has a huge range of possible looks and styles from extreme grunge and psychedelic effects, to clean and sophisticated. Jazz easily appeals to beginning photo editors as well as power users thanks to its two modes of operation: Quartet mode for quick, endless looks; and Solo mode for detailed tweaking.

Feature Highlights:
* Powerful random style generator offers endless possibilities
* Looks can range from clean and sophisticated to grungy or vintage...and anything in-between
* Upload to Facebook, Twitter, and tumblr with a simple touch
* Save your own styles as presets to use again later
* Complete rotate, crop, and image processing capabilities (new crop ratio presets)
* Swipe down to expand photo to full screen, tap twice to apply a Style preset, tap three times to view the original photo
* Style history lets users go back to any random look that Jazz showed them
* 17 professional grade, image processing filters, including Film Treatment, Vignette, Bloom, Color Balance, and Spot Focus; plus some really cool creative filters like Plastic & Glass, Lens Flare, and Dirt, Grunge & Schmutz
* Exif & GPS metadata is saved throughout
* Nothing else to buy - it just works
* Rated 4.5 stars on the U.S. App Store

In Quartet mode, Jazz generates four different filtered versions of any photo shot live or opened from the Photo Library. Displayed in a 2x2 grid in portrait or landscape orientation, the four looks are the result of random combinations of filters at various settings and intensities. Touch any version and Jazz takes you to Solo mode where you can save it, share it, and/or tweak it. Touching the G-clef icon in the top tab bar generates four more completely different looks. Users can swipe left or right to move forward and backward between four-photo pages. There is no limit to the number of times a user can employ the random style generator by touching the icon.

In Solo mode, Jazz users gain complete access to a scrolling collection of 17 image filters and effects, each with various controls and options. Individual filters have on/off switches and disclosure icons to expand the filter window. All slider and selector controls function intuitively, and as results are almost immediate, even novices should be transforming ordinary shots into memorable photos within minutes of first trying the app.

New in version 1.3:
* Awesome new Lens Flare filter (control Hot Spot size and style, Element size and style, plus x and y offset)
* Updated Light Leakage filter with 11 different styles
* Send your Jazz-ed image directly to Instagram
* Updated Share menu
* Save to Photo Album MUCH faster
* Turn off all filters quickly (double-tap image)
* Lots of speedups and optimizations

Jazz also comes with 16 different style presets, each named after a jazz style or musician (e.g., Chick, Coltrane, Bebop, or Fusion). Once loaded, the style is applied to the open photo, and users can go directly to save, or adjust any of the 17 different filters. Style presets are a great starting point from which to move toward a desired look.

17 Powerful Filters:
* Film Treatment - tweaks the colors to imitate various film developing techniques (10 filter presets)
* Color Balance - pushes orange or blue (warmer/cooler), and green or purple
* Exposure - adjusts exposure similar to changing f-stop on a camera
* Brightness & Contrast - overall brightness and more or less contrast
* Tones - adjust highlights, midtones, and shadows individually
* Color - controls color saturation, plus separate skin tones, blue skies, and greenery
* Tint - pushes the image toward a specific color
* Sharpen - continuously variable sharpness and radius (newest addition)
* Sepia - creates an antique look
* Focus - Spot Focus mode leaves the center sharp and blurs the rest, while the new Tilt shift mode blurs along a plane, similar to miniature photography
* Bloom - adds a glow around the brightest parts of the image
* NEW Lens Flare - adds a lens flare anywhere with many different styles
* Plastic & Glass - simulates looking through colorizing plastic lenses and/or filters (10 filter presets including gradients)
* Vignette - darkens the outer edges of the photo
* Light Leakage - simulates light leaking through the bellows of a portrait camera
* Dirt, Grunge & Schmutz - a variety of grain, dirt, and distortions (12 filter presets)
* Border - snapshot borders including Polaroid, film negative, glass, and torn paper (28 filter presets)

"If you know the look you want, Jazz's 17 powerful filters can get you there easily and intuitively," commented Ray Giarratana of GG Filmz. "But the real fun comes when you're not sure about the look you want. That's where Jazz shines. At the touch of a button, Jazz can improvise an unlimited number of unique looks and styles to inspire your own creativity. Why use a photo filter or effect that you cannot control?"

Language Support:
* English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
