Charlottesville, Virginia - For students, the major problem with writing is the development of good structure. It all begins with the organizational process of writing, which is the most difficult to master. Essay Workstation 2.1 comes complete with step-by-step writing instructions for over forty types of essays plus a unique built-in writing platform. Whether it is a three-page or 10-page paper, Niles Technology apps make writing a more structured, consistent process. In the App Store today for iPad, iPhone and iPod!

The iPad has changed the face and nature of education for the better, and Niles Technology writing apps are part of the exciting wave of innovative educational apps.

Football Squares Plus for iPad Returns for 2013 Super Bowl - Published on 01/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Once again, football enthusiasts can replace the Paper and Pen Squares betting sheets of old with the high-tech option of Football Squares Plus 2.6 for iPad. Football Squares Plus offers participants the use of touch to configure sheets, buy squares, filter on names, and select the winning scores. New features have been added to the touch-based, interactive app for this season to assist those running squares sheets during Playoff and Super Bowl viewing parties.

Florence, Kentucky - Once again, football enthusiasts can replace the Paper and Pen Squares betting sheets of old with the high-tech option of the Football Squares Plus 2.6 app for iPad. New features have been added to the touch-based, interactive app for this season to assist those running squares sheets during Playoff and Super Bowl viewing parties.

Football Squares Plus offers participants the use of touch to configure sheets, buy squares, filter on names, and select the winning scores. Copies of completed sheets may be distributed via a built-in email generator. Participants can also include a picture in each of their on-screen squares with an optional in-app purchase.

New features for the 2013 Playoff and Super Bowl season include the ability to manage users and their "paid" amounts, have winners for each score of the game, and send out and process invitations to remote users to participate in the contest.

A feature introduced the previous season that is difficult to replicate with traditional paper sheets is called "Picture Squares," and allows users to snap a photo of themselves to be included in their squares along with their name. This feature is available as an additional 99 cent in-app-purchase.

Sheets may be configured in a number of ways, including the traditional 10 X 10 grid with scores for each quarter, half, or just the final score. Advanced options include 5 X 5 grids, entire playoff match-ups instead of the standard two-team sheet, and customized scoring labels for uses.

The purchasing of squares can be enhanced with a field for the sheet maker to describe the cost of entry, as well as the prize structure. Sheet makers can password-protect the sheet to prevent unwanted changes from participants.

Users can save and retain all their sheets, and email the data file to other Football Squares Plus owners.

Football Squares Plus reached #2 in the Sports category on Super Bowl Sunday 2012.

Tumult Inc. Releases Hype 1.6 Update with Filter Effects - Published on 01/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tumult Inc. has released Hype 1.6, a major update to its award-winning HTML5 animation builder for Mac OS X. The new version contains over 35 new features that give animators substantially more control over creating animations. The update also includes support CSS Filter Effects to make the most visually compelling documents. It is available today as a free upgrade.

San Francisco, California - Tumult Inc. released Hype 1.6, a major update to its award-winning HTML5 animation builder for OS X. The new version contains over 35 new features designed to expand artistic capabilities, provide greater control over animations, and improve programmatic manipulation through new JavaScript APIs. It is available for download today as a free upgrade.

Among many highlights, the 1.6 version of Tumult Hype continues its effort to support bleeding edge web features, including CSS3 Filter Effects. These enable designers to add blurs, hue shifts, saturation changes, and modify brightness/contrast levels to achieve interesting visuals. For creating animations, the new Capo tool is an innovative way to easily set start times when recording. Time-based triggers coupled with timeline pause/continue/jump-to-time actions enable creative new animation flows. Tumult Hype's interface has also been polished to look gorgeous on Retina MacBook Pros.

A list of the top 1.6-specific information, including a video walkthrough, can be found at Tumult online.

"Our previous 1.5 release was wildly successful due to adding iBooks Author widget creation and adding several other fundamental features to make it a mature product. When we set out to build the version 1.6, we looked beyond this towards the features which would help users make the most visually compelling animations. The end result in face-meltingly powerful," says Jonathan Deutsch, founder of Tumult Inc. He continued, "It is amazing watching animated blurs or hue-shifts within a web browser, and I can't wait to see what users will produce. HTML5 has subsumed large parts of Flash, and Tumult Hype is the best product for users to leverage it, and is very affordable too."

Tumult Hype is primarily targeted at designers wanting to add effects to their sites, developers who need the capability to make content for iOS devices, and HTML5 coders looking for more effective ways to improve interactivity. It supports the latest HTML5/CSS3 features and utilizes an intuitive keyframe-based animation system with a recorder to create effective motions and transitions. No coding is required, though animations can be extended via a Javascript API. Tumult Hype has been used by publications such as the LA Times, Washington Post, and Reuters for infographics, advertising agencies for animated ads, K-12 and higher education to create interactive lessons, NASA to show exploration roadmaps, ePub/iBook authors, and by many designers adding a wow-factor to their sites.

Purchase & Availability:
Tumult Hype 1.6 is sold on the Mac App Store or the Tumult Store for $49.99 USD to new users or as a free upgrade to existing customers. More product information, a 14-day free trial, and a store link can be found at our product website.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iSeekApps announces the updated iExplore Walt Disney World for iOS. A photo scavenger game app you can play while visiting the World or from home. The iExplore Walt Disney World App is a scavenger hunt that can be played while visiting the World or from the comfort of their home! The app consists of photographs taken at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida zoomed in leaving very little detail. The user must then find the correct location within Walt Disney World.

Ottawa, Canada - Everyone enjoys a scavenger hunt! The iExplore Walt Disney World App is a scavenger hunt that can be played while visiting the World or from the comfort of their home! The app consists of photographs taken at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida zoomed in leaving very little detail. The user must then find the correct location within Walt Disney World.

The app was designed by Disney fanatics at iSeekApps, who are amazed at all there is to see in Walt Disney World. "We go to Disney almost every year and we are in awe with everything there is to see! With every trip, we saw something new. We decided to create an app that would entertain people as they see the World in a new way." says Chantal Roy owner of iSeekApps.

Over 200 photos of Walt Disney World's theme parks are to be discovered. The main screen provides the user with the options of using the GPS to find its location or select the park they are visiting. Once the park or location is determined, the user can then select the park section he is in. From then, he is shown various thumbnails from which he can deliberately choose to find.

iSeekApps says "We've listened to what other Disney fanatics were expecting. You won't waste time walking back & forth and you can control the game by letting it know where you are in the parks." The scavenger hunt then begins. This app will have you keeping your eyes open to find find various locations and objects inside the parks! And if you're travelling in a group, you can play against each other to see who has the better eye!

If the user selects the "@Home" icon from the main screen, a different version of the game is then selected. The user can now choose from 2 different game modes. Normal mode gives the user a full screen picture while the challenge mode gives a much smaller picture. Points are based on how long it takes you to guess the picture. You are given 45 seconds to guess the picture. Miss 3 of them and you're out! The goal of this version of the game is to guess the park and park section.

Cloud Clip for OS X - iCloud Sync Mac Clipboard Between Macs + iDevices - Published on 01/08/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chimp Studios today introduces Cloud Clip 1.0 for OS X, the first clipboard management utility that uses Apple's iCloud service to sync the contents of a Mac clipboard between other Macs and iDevices. Accessible from the menu bar, the dock, or both, Cloud Clip displays an unlimited scrolling list of items copied to the clipboard. Any item can be chosen to paste, preview, favorite, delete, or share by email, Messaging, Twitter, or Facebook. An additional iOS app is required for mobile sync.

Bloomington, Illinois - Chimp Studios today is pleased to introduce Cloud Clip 1.0 for OS X, the first clipboard management utility that allows users to sync the contents of any Mac clipboard between additional Macs and iDevices via iCloud. Accessible from the menu bar, the dock, or both, Cloud Clip displays an unlimited scrolling list of items copied to the clipboard. Any item can be chosen to preview, star as a favorite, paste, delete, or share by email, Messaging, Twitter, or Facebook. An additional, universal app is available for syncing the pasteboards of iOS mobile devices.

Cloud Clip's most outstanding feature is the ability to automatically sync clippings between an unlimited number of OS X and iOS devices. iCloud sync works in the background to keep all Macs and iDevices ready to continue any job on any platform. In addition to clippings recorded during a normal workday, the application is ideal for creating and accessing snippets that are used repeatedly, such as signatures, images, and boilerplate.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple access to the OS X clipboard from the menu bar, dock, or global hotkey
* Sync Mac clipboard with other Macs and even mobile devices - iPhone/iPad/iPod touch (Cloud Clip for Mobile is required and is a separate download)
* Unlimited clippings with support for text, images, PDFs, and other formats
* Blacklist apps that Cloud Clip should not copy from (like 1Password) and pause all recording with 2 clicks
* Set a cap to the number of clippings stored, so the oldest clippings are automatically pruned from the clipboard
* Paste as plain text
* Share clippings via email, Facebook, Twitter, Messages, or Flikr (10.8 required)
* Star favorite clippings
* Automatic duplicate detection

The ability to store multiple clippings on the clipboard greatly enhances convenience and speed factors, which contribute so much to the overall user experience. Each item in the list includes an abbreviated preview of up to 80 characters of text, the icon of the app from which the clip was copied, and the clip's file size. Cloud Clip gives users three methods of easily sorting the clips in their list. Buttons in the upper tab bar permit the choice of Newest (clips are in chronological order with the newest first), Starred (clips marked as favorites top the list in chronological order, followed by all other items that have been copied or cut), or Source (an alphabetical list of clips based on the names of the applications from which they were obtained).

"Cloud Clip is the only clipboard app available on the Mac App Store that utilizes iCloud right now," stated Andrew Schenk of Chimp Studios. "Not only do our users enjoy a seamlessly synced clipboard between all their Macs and iDevices, they also know their data is kept securely on Apple's servers."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.7 or later
* Requires 64-bit Intel processor
* 9.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cloud Clip 1.0 for Mac OS X is $3.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Utility category. Cloud Clip Mobile 1.0 for iOS is $0.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Utility category. Review copies are available on request.

In nine chapters, students will learn the technical capabilities of the iPad. The Guide contains over 50 video examples of video techniques and tips, focusing particularly on the "grammar" of video.

Little Falls, Minnesota - The Digital Storytelling Guide, by Greg Beck and Zoomable Media, is the ideal multi-touch digital owner's manual for anyone who wants to use the iPad as a portable video studio. The Guide contains over 50 video examples of video techniques and tips, focusing particularly on the "grammar" of video. In nine chapters, students will learn the technical capabilities of the iPad as well as how to best light, record, and edit video and sound with a studio they can carry anywhere.

Interviewing techniques are also discussed and modeled, as well as tips for generating story ideas and planning to capture the right video for editing. Practice activities are included, along with interactive review questions of key concepts, and a complete interactive glossary of video storytelling and editing terms. Since the Digital Storytelling Guide is a multi-touch textbook created with Apple's iBooks Author application, students also have the ability to highlight text, take notes, and review notes and key glossary terms on interactive "study cards."

Greg Beck is a former school media and educational technology integration specialist who has worked with learners ranging from elementary grades through adults, during a career spanning more than 30 years. He holds a teaching degree in the social sciences and a master's degree in information media. His career in education featured helping classroom teachers integrate video storytelling into their curricular units, team-teaching high school classes in broadcast journalism, leading student media production clubs, and teaching graduate courses in a multitude of educational technology subjects. He has also worked in the software training industry and as an independent digital media producer.
