Interactive Alphabet for iOS Gets Teacher Requested Features - Published on 12/18/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pi'ikea St. LLC today announces Interactive Alphabet ABCs 2.51, teacher approved improvements to their award-winning educational app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Interactive Alphabet makes learning the alphabet a hands-on experience. The original artwork and characters draw them in, fun animation and sound effects peak their interest, and memorable unique interactions keep them coming back for more. Version 2.51 includes many new improvements.
Colorado Springs, Colorado - Pi'ikea St. LLC is proud to announce teacher approved improvements to their award-winning Interactive Alphabet app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The app has been made even more classroom-ready with the help of dedicated teachers' and educators' feedback.
The app, which has become a popular option for learning the ABC's with babies and toddlers at home, now includes an option to focus specifically on Upper, Lower, or Mixed case letters. "Kids most often learn upper case letters first which becomes a major challenge for their preschool and kindergarten teachers since they teach writing lower-case first" said co-founder Ben Lew, a proud father of a new preschooler. "Now parents and teachers have control over what the kids' will see and be better prepared for school."
Letter improvements have also been made to better prepare kids for learning letter-tracing. Slight differences in letter forms, like the lower-case hook 'a' and straight-line uppercase 'I', are often missed in children's materials. Kids will now be learning the letter forms they will soon be tracing.
Interactive Alphabet now also features a British english voice to make the app more globally appropriate. "Many of the app's fans loved the app until they got to the letter Z and it said 'Zee' instead of 'Zed'" said co-founder Matt Smith. "Now you can have the app talk like you!"
The company has also introduced the Craft Lab, a collection of crafts and coloring pages that can be printed or shared from in the app by an adult. "It's our way of providing an offline mode. Kids' can take their favorite characters from the app and have some real-world fun with them" says Ben. "There is a coloring page version of every single letter card from the app!"
Interactive Alphabet Version 2.51 remains one of the most popular ABC apps which continues to be updated with relevant and customer appreciated features. Interactive Alphabet was awarded an Editor's Choice from the Children's Technology Review, named one of the 10 best iphone apps for pre-readers by Babble, named best iPad App for Kids by iLounge and featured in Apple's 2010 Rewind on the App Store.
Interactive Alphabet for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch makes learning the alphabet a hands-on experience. The original artwork and characters draw them in, fun animation and sound effects peak their interest, and memorable unique interactions, such as eating the Apple, playing with the Squid, zipping the Zipper, and making music on the Xylophone keep them coming back for more. Each letter is softly spoken and the upbeat music and sound effects will have kids dancing, mimicking, and asking Mom or Dad if they can have their own iPad. Babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and even parents are having tons of fun with this great new app.
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad, iPhone, iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 5.0 or later

Lets Bowl 2: Bowling with Friends for iOS - Published on 12/18/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Let's Bowl 2 is one of the best free bowling games around, featuring simple and precise controls that are fun and easy to learn. Players earn bowling bucks for every point they score and every strike or spare they make, then use them to buy stuff in the ProShop, including 9 different alleys, and 34 different balls; all with their own unique attributes and weight for scoring. New features include online multiplayer, Single device mode, weight dynamics, Stat Screen, and a brand new interface.
Austin, Texas - Let's Bowl 2 is one of the best free bowling games around, featuring simple and precise controls that are fun and easy to learn, and which provide increasing challenges as players master different levels of alleys. Players earn bowling bucks for every point they score and every strike or spare they make, then use them to buy stuff in the ProShop, including 9 different alleys, and 34 different balls; all with their own unique attributes and weight for scoring.
With flawless 3D animation and graphics, players view the ball from an angle slightly above and behind. As the ball rolls down the lane, the view camera follows it, always maintaining a constant distance of about two feet. The camera stops about eight feet from the pins, allowing players to view the action close-up from a stationary camera. Bowlers can easily control the speed of the ball, so that it takes between 2 and 5 seconds to reach the pins.
Players throw by drawing a line from the ball toward the pins, and when they lift their finger from the screen, their throw is executed. Drawing a short line produces a high velocity, while a long line produces a lower speed. Bowlers can line up their shot by moving the ball to any point behind the foul line, from the extreme left to the extreme right. While traveling, players can hook their shot by dragging left or right, with the amount of hook dependent on the length of the drag and the speed of the ball. Players will discover that they can achieve an extreme hook easily.
Let's Bowl 2 achieves its remarkable level of realism thanks to careful design and the latest, 3D game physics engine. Unlike other bowling games, players will never see the 10 pins exhibit any behavior that does not look like the real thing. Good pin carry is the key to high scores, and this app simulates the complex collisions between pins with uncanny realism. Pins hit hard fly upward simultaneously, and pins hit by a slow moving ball are simply knocked over.
Watching pin movement closely reveals that each is capable of movement in all three axes, and that a toppled pin can spin in place, either lengthwise or around its center. Grazed pins may wobble in place, and skillful players can pick up a 7-10 split as they send one pin flying to the other side of the lane. Completing the illusion are the dozens of different sounds heard at just the right time to perfectly match the behavior of single and multiple pins.
Play with friends or match-make instantly with a rendom opponent Online! Leaderboards and Game Center Achievements are available as well along with the Facebook, Twitter and in-game messaging, so you can talk to your friends about your high scores.

* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 gen) and iPad

ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe for iOS - Published on 12/18/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Preschool University today introduces ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe 1.0 for iOS, which provides practice in reading words with multiple syllables, but also teaches the two prerequisite skills: blending and segmentation. The app has three modes: Blending, where children touch a row of rectangles, hear a sound from each one, and blend them together to form a word; Segmenting, where kids hear a word, then separate it into its sounds; and Reading, where students read the words.
Minneapolis, Minnesota - Preschool University has introduced ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe for iOS, which provides practice in reading words with two or more syllables, but also offers practice in the two prerequisite skills that are often overlooked: blending and segmenting. Designed for young children learning to read, the app has three modes: Skill 1 Blending, Skill 2 Segmenting, and Skill 3 Reading.
In Skill 1 Blending, children touch a row of empty rectangles consecutively, hear a sound from each one, and then blend the sounds together to form a word (touching the large empty rectangle provides audio and visual confirmation). In Skill 1 Segmenting, kids touch the illustration in the large rectangle and hear a word, then separate it into sounds, touching each empty rectangle in a row as they "spell" the word by sounds. Lastly, in Skill 3 Reading, learners sound out the letters inside the row of rectangles to read the word, and then touch the large white square to see the illustration and hear the word aloud. The app features touch-to-hear, audible pronunciation of whole words, or the sound of individual letters plus the complete word.
Created by Montessori preschool owner Richard Colombini, ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe for iOS is part of a the ABC READING MAGIC Suite series of apps. The goal is to enhance the learning process by setting up the right conditions for learners to be successful. The app gives emerging readers a step that will encourage skill building and confidence in reading.
ABC READING MAGIC 3 operates in landscape orientation. From the Home Page, users can select Skill 1 Blending, Skill 2 Segmenting or Skill 3 Reading. From the Home Page, the user can also select whether a male or female voice will be used to sound out the letters and the words. From the Home page after choosing one of the three skills, the user is taken to the Menu page. On the Menu page the user can choose from one of nine different word categories: actions, animals, food, home, objects, outdoors, people, travel, work or the shuffle mode. Once a category is chosen the user is taken to the game screens which are each a little different. To help the user a help screen overlay is placed on the screen describing how to do each skill level. This overlay screen is activated and deactivated by touching the question mark icon. There is also an ear icon on each game screen within each skill that gives a demo of how to do the app when touched.
In the Skill 1 Blending mode there is a large empty square at the center of the screen. At the bottom of the screen are four to seven empty rectangles side-by-side. The child must touch each rectangle from left to right. When each empty rectangle is touched, it lights up and a sound or phoneme is heard. The goal is to combine or blend the sounds together to form a single word. This is the same procedure as "sounding out" a word by reading it aloud, phoneme by phoneme. Here, there are no letters to guide the student, only sounds. This helps strengthen the skill of blending sounds, without the need to know the letters. To check their work, the reader touches the large empty square in the center of the page. Upon being touched a picture is revealed and a word is spoken that identifies what the picture is. Upon touching the demo ear icon each empty rectangle lights up as its sound is pronounced, and then the word is spoken aloud, accompanied by a photo or illustration of the word in the
large, central square.
In Skill 2 Segmenting, the procedure is reversed. There are four to seven empty rectangles in a row beneath a large square containing a picture. The large square with the picture in it is tapped to identify the word to be segmented. The goal is to break it down into its simplest component sounds. The child pronounces the word aloud and then says each phoneme or letter sound that makes up that word as they touch the empty rectangles in sequence with a pencil. Students can check their work by touching the empty rectangles to see if they said the correct corresponding sound. Here again, students can use the demo ear icon to see how to do segmenting on this app. When the ear icon is touched the word for the picture in the large square is spoken, then each tile lights up as the corresponding sound is spoken that matches the word in the large square.
In Skill 3 Reading, the blending and segmentation practice is put to use in reading words. Words of four to seven letters appear on the bottom of the screen with one letter in each rectangle. Consonants are red and vowels are blue. The large square is empty. Many students will see the word and read it immediately. For those who need help, they can touch each letter to hear its sound. To verify their answer kids touch the large square to reveal the picture and to hear the word being pronounced at the same time. Skill 3 Reading incorporates the skills learned during Skill 1 Blending and Skill 2 Segmenting, and cements the connection between the letters and sounds, the letters and the word, and the word and the illustration to which it refers. When the ear icon is touched in this skill, each letter lights up as it is pronounced, and then the word is spoken aloud as a picture appears in the large square.
Feature Highlights:
* Over 300 words to blend, segment and read
* Young children develop phonological and phonemic awareness
* Blending, Segmenting, and Reading practice with clear instructions
* These intermediary skills are invaluable for successfully reading complete words
* Female and Male voice choices
* Words and letter sounds can be read aloud by the app
* Pictures and sound reinforce the connection between written words and that to which they refer
* Based on principles of the highly respected educator, Maria Montessori
"This app uses the best methods for teaching children how to read, by starting with blending and segmenting," said Hestia Abeyesekera, Ed.D. of Kinderhaus of Musik.
An ideal interactive learning app for early elementary age readers, ABC READING MAGIC 3 has all the qualities of an engaging, entertaining reading game. There is no scoring, competition, or running clock that would put it squarely in the category of Game rather than Education App. But in practice, there is often no distinction between playing and learning. And ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe will provide hours of lively enjoyment and rigorous skill building combined in an expertly designed and executed, iOS app.
"Young children are neurologically wired to take in language more efficiently and accurately than at any other time of life," stated developer Richard Colombini. "ABC READING MAGIC 3 fits into our highly effective, sequential, graduated reading program."
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 5.0 or later (iOS 4.3 tested)
* Universal app
* 602 MB
Pricing and Availability:
ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe is $0.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Here again, students can use the demo ear icon to see how to do segmenting on this app. When the ear icon is touched the word for the picture in the large square is spoken, then each tile lights up as the corresponding sound is spoken that matches the word in the large square.
In Skill 3 Reading, the blending and segmentation practice is put to use in reading words. Words of four to seven letters appear on the bottom of the screen with one letter in each rectangle. Consonants are red and vowels are blue. The large square is empty. Many students will see the word and read it immediately. For those who need help, they can touch each letter to hear its sound. To verify their answer kids touch the large square to reveal the picture and to hear the word being pronounced at the same time. Skill 3 Reading incorporates the skills learned during Skill 1 Blending and Skill 2 Segmenting, and cements the connection between the letters and sounds, the letters and the word, and the word and the illustration to which it refers. When the ear icon is touched in this skill, each letter lights up as it is pronounced, and then the word is spoken aloud as a picture appears in the large square.
Feature Highlights:
* Over 300 words to blend, segment and read
* Young children develop phonological and phonemic awareness
* Blending, Segmenting, and Reading practice with clear instructions
* These intermediary skills are invaluable for successfully reading complete words
* Female and Male voice choices
* Words and letter sounds can be read aloud by the app
* Pictures and sound reinforce the connection between written words and that to which they refer
* Based on principles of the highly respected educator, Maria Montessori
"This app uses the best methods for teaching children how to read, by starting with blending and segmenting," said Hestia Abeyesekera, Ed.D. of Kinderhaus of Musik.
An ideal interactive learning app for early elementary age readers, ABC READING MAGIC 3 has all the qualities of an engaging, entertaining reading game. There is no scoring, competition, or running clock that would put it squarely in the category of Game rather than Education App. But in practice, there is often no distinction between playing and learning. And ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe will provide hours of lively enjoyment and rigorous skill building combined in an expertly designed and executed, iOS app.
"Young children are neurologically wired to take in language more efficiently and accurately than at any other time of life," stated developer Richard Colombini. "ABC READING MAGIC 3 fits into our highly effective, sequential, graduated reading program."
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 5.0 or later (iOS 4.3 tested)
* Universal app
* 602 MB
Pricing and Availability:
ABC READING MAGIC 3 Multiple Syllables Deluxe is $0.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Kidaptive Releases Innovative Pre-School Educational App, Leo's Pad - Published on 12/18/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kidaptive and Stanford University researchers combine the latest cognitive science with beautiful, engaging animation to deliver Leo's Pad 1.1, the most cutting-edge children's educational, interactive and entertaining iPad app yet. Leo's Pad customizes gameplay based on each learner's needs and interests. The app is comprised of 25 appisodes that engage children with games, puzzles, and projects woven into an immersive story arc to create highly situated learning experiences.
Palo Alto, California - Kidaptive, Inc. an innovative media and technology company today announced the release of Leo's Pad, "appisodic", 3D animated, adaptive content that helps pre-schoolers learn and have fun. Leo's Pad is comprised of 25 appisodes that engage children with games, puzzles, and projects woven into an immersive story arc to create highly situated learning experiences.
Leo's Pad customizes gameplay based on each learner's needs and interests, to optimize motivation and create just-right levels of challenge. Parents are also encouraged to participate through an intuitive yet powerful dashboard filled with useful information about their child's progress on each of 75-plus dimensions of learning, along with tips about how to further support that progress outside of screen time.
"Our mission is to help children learn, have fun, and most importantly become better learners," said P.J. Gunsagar, Co-Founder and CEO, Kidaptive, Inc. "We have purposefully designed our appisodes to enrich education, engage the child's mind, and create long-lasting impacts. Our evergreen service to children and parents, who are the most important agent for change in their child's cognitive development, represents a much richer and more sustained experience than the typical single-purpose apps that currently exist."
Leo's Pad is the first release from Kidaptive, a team of experts who have joined together to produce a unique iPad learning experience for children. The company's embedded curriculum is developed by Stanford University researchers with deep knowledge about preschool learning, and their stories and games are designed by award-winning writers and producers.
Leo's Pad stars a young Leonardo da Vinci, playfully reimagined in a fantastical world. This first appisode of the series, "Gally's Birthday," costars a young Galileo Galilei (Gally), who dreams of flying to the stars. Future appisodes will feature child versions of other historical characters in Leo's band of friends, including Marie Curie, Confucius, Phillis Wheatley, and Ramanujan.
The stories and games that Leo's Pad offers help children learn through exploration, repetition, creative expression, problem-solving, and direct instruction; Kidaptive's comprehensive early-learning curriculum is built upon decades of research in developmental and psychological science.
Features:
* Enchanting animated stories from an Emmy-winning creative director
* Interactive games that help children learn shapes, colors, number sense, drawing, letter identification, and puzzles
* Mixture of exploratory, creative and problem-solving activities
* Modeling of social skills like turn-taking and empathy
* Co-play activities in which parents and children interact with Leo's Pad together
* Fun and memorable songs
* In future appisodes, games focusing on tracing, instruction-following, sorting, turn-taking and patience, impulse control, recognition of emotions, spatial attention, collaboration, and much more
* Coming soon, a For Grown-ups section to give parents deep views into their children's progress through our comprehensive curriculum
* Designed for preschool ages
* No in-app purchases
* No 3rd-party advertising
* A second appisode in the series, "Rocket to the Stars," will release in January 2013.
* First full appisode is free
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 167 MB

Kids' creativity can fly with new Wombi Airplane game - Published on 12/18/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kids will be able to build and fly their own airplanes in the new game Wombi Airplane, developed by Swedish educational app company Wombi. Players ages 4 and up must assemble their own plane then fly it on a mission through a beautifully illustrated course. Players are placed in a workshop-like setting with a large selection of plane parts to choose from. To control the game, players must tap the screen and adjust the plane's height at the right time.
Stockholm, Sweden - Wombi Airplane, to be released this December 18 for iPod, iPad, and iPhone, was developed for kids ages 4 and up to make learning fun. The game gets children thinking about the way airplanes work by letting them assemble their very own. Players are placed in a workshop-like setting with a large selection of plane parts to choose from. Piece by piece, they fasten the propeller, the wings, and so on. With the game's variety of plane parts and designs, there is a lot of room for creativity.
Next, players take their newly built aircraft for an adventure. They take off into a beautiful, illustrated landscape with cartoonish graphics that pop from the screen. To control the game, players must tap the screen and adjust the plane's height at the right time, or else it will dip too low. The challenge is to keep a watchful eye out for birds, trees, mountains, and an evil enemy who is out to sabotage them. The goal is to collect delivery boxes, which are strung up on colorful helium balloons. When the player lands, the boxes can be opened to discover what treasures have been scored - jewels and more.
"Kids will like this game because it allows them to express themselves creatively, and it puts them in the pilot seat. It also slips that educational aspect in there without them really noticing" says game creator Markus Wedenborn.
There are multiple levels to this game to keep it interesting and to continuously challenge the players. Adventurous music and fun animations create a captivating, lively atmosphere. The plane's pilot is a friendly, sporty raccoon, but once those wind goggles are on, this bushy-tailed creature is all about focus. Kids are sure to find a loveable character within the detailed illustrations.
Wombi's initiative is to get kids "playing to learn." Its founders are dedicated to creating safe applications, so Wombi apps are free of advertisements and "surprise" charges. Most importantly, they're all about making learning fun for kids all over the world.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 22.9 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Wombi Airplane 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Typinator 5.4 offers versatile import and export of text snippets - Published on 12/18/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ergonis Software today announced the release of Typinator 5.4, an improved new version of their popular text expander. Typinator is a powerful, yet elegantly simple solution that boosts your productivity by automating the process of inserting frequently used text and auto-correcting typing errors. The new version offers versatile import and export of text snippets in various formats. This makes it really easy to create Typinator sets from external data.
Hagenberg, Austria - Ergonis Software today is thrilled to announce the release of Typinator 5.4, an improved new version of their popular text expander. The new version offers versatile import and export of text snippets in various formats.
Typinator can now export and import abbreviation sets in two popular formats: tab-delimited text and comma-separated values (CSV). This allows Typinator users to prepare large collections of abbreviations offline with text editors, spreadsheet programs and database applications. Transferring the collections into Typinator is then just a matter of selecting the Import command. This makes it really easy to create Typinator sets from external data. In the opposite direction, Typinator can export text snippets as tab-delimited text and CSV files, so you can manipulate these files externally and reimport the resulting files back into Typinator.
Import from TextExpander has been improved as well, now converting date/time calculations, special keys, and input fields. Typinator 5.4 contains many further enhancements and offers improved compatibility with OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and third-party applications like Mail, Adobe Photoshop CS 6, Default Folder, and 4th Dimension.
Visit Ergonis Software's website to learn more about the changes in this release and to download and try the new version.
