D3S DSLR 2.0 for iOS - Min-U Guide a Complete Reference to Nikon DSLR - Published on 12/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Ken Tidwell announces today D3s/D4 DSLR 3.0 for iOS, another in his series of Min-U Guides to Nikon DSLRs. The app provides quick, easy access to information by allowing the user to "drill down" through a topic, just like using the camera menus, until they find exactly what they need. A convenient alternative to carrying bulky, printed reference material, the app also includes a handy list of D3S/D4 Quick Specs, a troubleshooting checklist, error messages, and much more.

Portland, Oregon - Independent developer Ken Tidwell today is pleased to introduce D3s/D4 DSLR v3.0 for iOS, another in his series of popular Min-U Guides to Nikon DSLRs. The app provides quick, easy access to information by allowing the user to "drill down" through a topic, just like using the camera menus, until they find exactly what they need. For example, a new photographer may want to find out how to set the camera's self-timer so he can appear in a group shot.

All new under the hood. D3s/D4 DSLR is rebuilt for iOS 6 and iPhone 5, now with iPad SplitView providing enhanced navigation. Still a Universal app providing full support for Retina screens on both iPad and iPhone/touch. Also sports a new icon.

Product Preview updated for the latest Nikons, including D4 and D800. Includes minor content edits and corrections and is updated with the latest addendums.

From the app's opening screen the user selects the topic Custom Setting Menu from among six other chapter headings, then they pick Timers from five other choices, and finally they choose Self-Timer from four other listings, where step-by-step instructions are found. A convenient alternative to carrying bulky, printed reference material, the app also includes a handy list of D3s/D4 Quick Specs, a troubleshooting checklist, error messages, supported standards, digital photography & DSLR lens glossaries, CF card capacity calculator and an iPad Camera Kit overview.

The opening screen of this Min-U Guide consists of seven main chapter headings, each including a replica of the icon used on the D3s/D4 for that menu. The six Menu chapters include: Playback (modify playback settings and manage photos an movies), Shooting (configure D3s/D4 shooting options), Custom Settings (fine-tune camera settings to your liking), Setup (basic camera configuration), Retouch (create trimmed or retouched copies of existing images), and My Menu (your custom menu and options). The seventh chapter, [More], contains miscellaneous info (D3s/D4 specs and glossaries, error messages, etc.) Touching any chapter activates a push transition, where the next page enters right to left, pushing off the current page. Similarly, touching any topic on the second screen activates another transition. This smooth, visually appealing iOS based navigation system makes moving up and down the hierarchically arranged menus and sub-menus quick, intuitive and enjoyable.

D3s/D4 DSLR v3.0 achieves an ideal balance between comprehensiveness and clarity. Instructions contain no unnecessary verbiage, and no unnecessary steps. The goal of the adage "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler," has been achieved here with excellent results. Even when dealing with concepts prone to obfuscation (480p vs. 576p vs. 720p vs. 1080i), the Guide is always factual, straightforward, and easily understood. The app is a universal binary, and displays in the highest, native resolution on every iOS device.

In addition to Playback, Shooting, Custom Settings, Setup, Retouch and My Menu, this 'D3s/D4' guide features a 'MORE' menu that includes:
* Troubleshooting
* Error Messages
* Quick Specs and Supported Standards
* Glossaries
* Lens Information
* Nikon Product Preview
* IPad Camera Kit Overview

D3s/D4 DSLR also offers useful DSLR Calculators. Know exactly how many images based on either FX or DX format (with image file type), will fit on CF memory cards from 4GB to 128GB in size. Also provided are: 'Depth of Field', 'Dimensional Field of View by Focal Length' and 'Angular Field of View' calculators.

Independent developer Ken Tidwell, creator of the Min-U Guides series, commented, "Now you can spend your time shooting more amazing digital photos instead of carrying and digging through lengthy reference materials. D3s/D4 DSLR v3.0 is organized in the same manner as the D3s/D4 camera control menus, meaning that while you use it you also learn more about using your D3s/D4."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 6.x tested)
* Universal Application
* 38.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
D3s/D4 DSLR v3.0 is $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. D3s/D4 DSLR v3.0 is current with Nikon D3s v1.01 & D4 v1.02 firmware. Review copies are available upon request.

Zombie I Scream, a Non-Violent Zombie Game, Hits iTunes App Store - Published on 12/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zombie I Scream is a new zombie game for the iPhone now available at the iTunes store. It is a family-friendly zombie game. Unlike other zombie games that involve murder and weapons of mass destruction, Zombie I Scream uniquely asks the players to hurl anti-zombie ice cream cones at the zombie hordes in order to return them to human form and save Boston. Save enough humans and the apocalypse is avoided. The game is the first from Boston-based Thefty Jack, LLC.

Boston, Massachusetts - Thefty Jack, LLC, a Boston-based mobile software company, announced today that their new iPhone zombie game, called Zombie I Scream 1.0, was available today in the iTunes App Store.

"Is this the best zombie game for the iPhone? We think it is because it's so unlike the other games in it's non-violent approach," said David Deutsch, Thefty Jack co-founder and chief creative. "Zombie I Scream begins with saving the world from the Zombie apocalypse, that's standard. But the goal in our game is to save the world by saving the zombies. We think that a message of salvation is needed, even in today's zombie-fueled culture. Add the incredible artwork, unique gameplay and a mastermind evil chicken and our game stands out from the pack."

Early buzz on the game has been good. "We're huge fans of the artwork," said Stuart Conover, of buyzombie.com. "We are breathlessly waiting awaiting the Android version."

Zombie I Scream is set in Boston. In it, the players man a tricked-out Government-issued ice cream truck that dispenses anti-zombie-infused ice creams. Dispensing these to zombies returns them to normal; cure enough zombies and you create a reverse domino effect, halting the zombie apocalypse. The backdrop? Famous Boston landmarks and neighborhoods including Fenway Park, Harvard Square and the Faneuil Hall.

The company takes ice cream as a curative remedy seriously. As part of the promotion, the company commissioned NY-based Jane's Ice Cream to create human-edible versions of the zombie flavors, like "Minty Eyeball" and "Vein-illa Oblingata." They will be part of upcoming promotions of the game.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Cinefy Free Until January 10th - Create Movies With 100+ Special FX - Published on 12/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cinefy, a revolutionary new special FX studio currently enjoyed by over 30,000 users, allows iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users to create videos with over 100 Hollywood quality special effects. Users can have their friends be chased by a T-Rex, duck to avoid incoming missile fire from an attack helicopter, run from the Loch Ness monster, and more. Cinefy includes impressive effects created by Hollywood industry veterans.

West Chester, Pennsylvania - Cinefy, a revolutionary new special FX studio, was released this for free this week for iOS. Hot on the heels of popular apps like Action Movie FX, Cinefy 1.1.5 allows iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users to create videos with over 100 Hollywood quality special effects.

"We took a look at the competition and tried to figure out where they went wrong." Said Daniel Hellerman, CEO of App Creation Network, and project lead for Cinefy. "Other apps were charging users $1 for just one or two effects, we wanted to change that. So, for the week of Thanksgiving, we are offering users over 100 special effects to use in their videos, completely free. In addition to all the effects, we realized users don't want to be limited to 15 second clips, our editor allows users to create scenes as long as they need them to be. Users can even create layered effects with exported video, allowing for incredible creativity within the app. When users are done creating their movies in Cinefy, they can export them into more robust editors like iMovie, or simply share the videos with their friends to create the perfect Hollywood experience."

Launching worldwide today, Cinefy includes some impressive effects created by Hollywood industry veterans.

"Have your friends be chased by a T-Rex, duck to avoid incoming missile fire from an attack helicopter, run from the Loch Ness monster, even pilot your own starship" says Hellerman. "The possibilities are endless. The ability to construct the movies of your dreams, with a device that fits in the palm of your hands is incredible. Just from our limited release and early beta tests, we received some incredible videos. My jaw dropped at the creativity some of our users showed. One of my favorite parts was seeing users combine effects from our competition alongside Cinefy's effects. The video was astounding, and it was a great example of the flexibility Cinefy provides."

To see all the effects, download a copy of Cinefy today for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

CheckItOut Multi Annotation Tool for iOS/Draw on Images, Web Pages, Maps - Published on 12/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WireMuch.com today announces CheckItOut Multi Annotation Tool 1.2 for iOS, an update to its innovative photo app that allows users draw or write on images, web pages, or maps. Ideal for use by business professionals, web designers, engineers, students, artists, or anyone needing to provide visual feedback, the app allows users to share their markups via email or Facebook, or they can save them to the Photo Library or Pasteboard. Five different colors are available to highlight and comment.

Melbourne, Australia - WireMuch.com today announces CheckItOut Multi Annotation Tool 1.2 for iOS, an update to its innovative photo app that allows users draw or write on images, web pages, or maps. Ideal for use by business professionals, web designers, engineers, students, artists, or anyone needing to provide visual feedback, the app allows users to share their markups via email, Twitter, or Facebook, or they can save them to the Photo Library or Pasteboard. Five different colors are available for users to circle, underline, point, cross out, frame, draw, and comment. The updated app includes an integrated web browser for annotating web pages, a map viewer for adding markups to any map, and a photo viewer for drawing on images from the built-in camera, Photo Library, Camera Roll, etc.

Feature Highlights:
* Add as many notes as necessary - no limits
* Define markup colors to stay organized even after multiple revisions
* Import images and photos or take a new photo with the iDevice's camera
* Save the annotated image to the Photo Library for use in other apps
* Save to the Pasteboard to paste into other apps
* Save annotated images to the Photo Album, share them by email, or post to Facebook or Twitter
* Integrated email and Facebook connectivity without leaving the app
* Share annotations and markups via email, Facebook and Twitter (shortens URLs for Twitter)
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Remove annotations simply by shaking the device or using the Clear button

Billions of bits of data are shared every second, much of it as still images. Photos, graphics, web pages, maps, screenshots, scans, and other images comprise a significant amount of all the data transmitted across the World Wide Web. These images are filled with information (a picture is worth a thousand words), but communicating about these images in text format is slow and imprecise. CheckItOut solves this problem by allowing users to include the very image on which they are commenting within their message. Annotating the image allows the user to combine graphical symbols and text comments as an overlay to the original image. And users are free to draw on the image without any limit and may employ five different colors simultaneously.

CheckItOut eliminates the need for tedious highlighters or sloppy callout boxes. Freehand drawing allows complete freedom of annotation, including lines, shapes, and text, which can be used to:
* Identify a location and show a route on a map
* Highlight changes to or errors in any document
* Communicate revisions made to a website, design, photo, or text
* Provide explicit comments regarding any image using text and drawings
* Point out something of interest
* Have fun re-creating a drawing or photo
* Doodle over or alter images

"Say goodbye to long-winded explanations, ineffective printouts, and tedious highlighter pens," stated Sophia Salem of WireMuch.com. "You'll be thrilled with the effectiveness of this app - and best of all, it's so easy to use!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 3.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
CheckItOut Multi Annotation Tool 1.2 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Review copies are available on request.

WordSpot Challenges Players to Find Over 100 Hidden Words - Published on 12/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Maguy Studios today introduces WordSpot Challenge 1.0 for iOS. The player's objective is to find the hidden words in the pyramid of letter tiles. The words must be formed from adjacent tiles, which are stacked like bricks. The game is deceptively simple but comes with interesting twists such as special tiles that increase word value, limited use tiles which turn into a useless block after a few uses and more. Challenging and fun, there are always well over 100 words hidden in the small pyramid.

Montreal, Canada - Maguy Studios today introduces WordSpot Challenge 1.0 for iOS. The player's objective is to find the hidden words in the pyramid of letter tiles. The words must be formed from adjacent tiles, which are stacked like bricks. The game is deceptively simple but comes with interesting twists such as special tiles that increase word value, limited use tiles which turn into a useless block after a few uses and more. Challenging and fun, there are always well over 100 words hidden in the small pyramid.

The game always tells you how many words are still hidden: "The first reaction is always "no way, that's impossible!" Players can't believe how many words our cunning word hiding logic can place in such a small pyramid of letters" says Louis-Marius Gendreau, owner of Maguy Studios.

"The testers just kept playing and playing in the evenings and on weekends so I knew we were onto something," says Gendreau.

The game is deceptively simple but comes with interesting twists:
* Special tiles that increase word value
* Limited use tiles which turn into a useless block after a few uses
* Special word challenges the player can complete for extra points

In "timed" mode, you have 3 minutes to find as many words as possible. In "relaxed" mode, you take all the time you want and you decide when to end the game.

Once you are done with a game, it gives you the full word list. Then, you can challenge your friends by Game Center, Facebook, Twitter or email. They will get to play the exact same letter pyramid and try to beat you, whether or not they downloaded the game.

Feature Highlights:
* Easy to pick up, hard to put down
* Play for a minute or play for hours
* Relaxed mode - No time limit
* Race mode - How many words can you find in three minutes
* Integrated dictionary
* Soothing music - You'll appreciate it... really
* Night mode - Play at night without hurting your eyes

Think carefully before downloading this game. You might just not be able to put it down...

Anansi Mobile Announces Its Latest Game: Wild City - Published on 12/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Anansi Mobile introduces Wild City 1.0, its new game title for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad devices. Wild City aims to stimulate creativity, socialization and career building while providing an addictive gameplay. The game takes the player to a world where anything can be achieved, all it takes is guts. Start up as a rookie under the lead of a skillful master who preaches the ways of this marvelous city. No matter which path is chosen, the possibilities of the game are endless.

Hong Kong, China - Anansi Mobile is proud to release Wild City to the Apple Store for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad devices. The development team has designed a game that stimulates creativity, socialization and career building while providing an addictive gameplay.

Wild City takes the player to a world where anything can be achieved, all it takes is guts. The player starts up as a rookie under the lead of a skillful master who preaches the ways of this marvelous city. From then on it's a fast ride. The player must find a job, learn to use tools, develop money-making abilities, build his strength at the gym, learn to use items, fight to make a living, buy a property, go on errands, learn how to receive medical treatment, buy and handle weapons and armor, and why not? Fight for the fun of it, not to mention the possibility to join a family or get married to obtain common benefits. All this in order to be happier and wealthier.

To confront these harder than life conditions, the player must work out frequently to raise his strength, defense, speed and dexterity. By doing so, he becomes a better fighter and might perhaps choose to make a living out of it. With the money earned, a player can buy a better property to live in and become happier, obtaining better results from his workouts. On the other hand, becoming a businessman is also very profitable. The game allows the player to buy commodities, items and specialties from world-renowned cities and bring them back to Wild City for sale. The law of supply and demand applies here, so timing and good bargaining abilities are a must.

No matter which path is chosen, the possibilities of the game are endless, allowing the player to play in a fresh and unique environment where only one rule applies: Freedom. "We wanted to give gamers something different, something unique," says Yuhui Wang, CEO of Anansi Mobile.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 36.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wild City 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
