FileMaker Design Studios scheduled for Oakland and Seattle - Published on 01/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Craft of FileMaker announces today they will be hosting their next two Design Studios for FileMaker Pro Developers March 5th - 7th in Oakland, Califorina and April 16th - 18th in Seattle, Washington. This three day training will be lead by veteran FileMaker Developer's Conference Speaker, Don Levan, President of Vanguard Custom Software and Founder of the Craft of FileMaker. Attendees will learn a formal process and set of practices for designing exceptional applications and interfaces.

Ardsley, New York - The Craft of FileMaker announced today they will be hosting their next two Design Studios for FileMaker Pro Developers March 5th - 7th in Oakland, Califorina and April 16th - 18th in Seattle, Washington. This intensive, three day, learning experience will be lead by veteran FileMaker Developer's Conference Speaker Don Levan, President of Vanguard Custom Software and Founder of the Craft of FileMaker.

The Design Studio:
Whether they have been developing software for 20-years, or are just getting started, attendees will learn a formal process and set of practices for designing exceptional applications and interfaces during this three-day experiential studio.

Day 1: Discovery & Specification:
* Creating project briefs
* Conducting design research
* Deriving requirements from personas and scenarios

Day 2: Framework Definition:
* Storyboarding user flows
* Creating lo-fidelity sketches and prototypes
* Usability testing designs

Day 3: Detail Design & Review:
* Using feedback to improve the solution
* Creating a style guide
* Polishing the interface

Ten FileMaker Inc. staff have attended the Design Studio. Jesse Barnum, President of 360Works, had this to say of the The Design Studio, "This workshop really helped us in the design of the document check-in screen of DocuBin. After implementing what we learned, we simplified, re-worded, and rearranged the buttons so that the result of each choice is much more obvious. It's little touches like this that make any software appealing, both to look at and to use."

How can learning this design process help developers?
Developing Scenarios, utilizing constraints, lo-fidelity sketching, finding design patterns, prototyping, usability testing...each of these practices helps a developer turn initial ideas into fantastic solutions. When these practices are put together in a repeatable process, a developer can reliably produce great work while saving money and delivering on time. They also foster cooperation with their clients and users, and sell better projects.

Who is teaching this course?
Dr. Don Levan, President of Vanguard Custom Software and the founder of The Design Studio is a software designer, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, FileMaker Certified Developer, and former photojournalist. Dr. Levan has spoken at the past three FileMaker Developer Conferences and has provided design consulting to FileMaker, Inc.

What are past attendees saying?
"This course is a must-have for all serious developers." - Paul Spafford, FM Layoutmode online.

"This workshop changed the way I work forever!" - Marty Thomasson, Gearbox Solutions

"Absolutely fantastic material, professionally delivered." - James Hea, Project Manager, FileMaker Systems at HSBC Bank Bermuda Limited

"I would wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to any serious FileMaker developer trying to bring the best user experience possible to his or her clients." - Richard Carlton, President of Carlton Consulting, Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance

"This workshop provided clear and tangible examples and exercises that engaged us to rethink how we approach requirements gathering and dovetail that into intentional system design." - Adam Aronson, President of FullCity Consulting, Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance

"The workshop was fun and stimulating and will raise the game of those who care about designing databases at the highest level... I learned a lot in a short time." - Doug Gardner, President of Exoteric, Six-time speaker at the FileMaker Developer's Conference

"It's a 'must do' for FileMaker developers who do not have a background in formal software development. It will save them and their clients much time and aggravation if they apply the process presented in the workshop. Otherwise, they will repeatedly re-invent the common mistakes inherent in a free-form design development process." - Dale Stuart, Ph.D., Sc.D., President, CEO, StarQuick Solutions, Inc., Makers of TheraQuick

"The Design Studio introduced me to a workable process, enabling me to understand clients' problems more thoroughly, and design solutions more effectively." - Barb Levine, President of Microserve, LLC, Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance

"The design studio helped me approach things in a different way that forced me to actually think outside the box. I think it is giving me a better product for the client at the end of the day. It's a great class." - Allan Mowat, President, Nevis Associates, Inc.

Organize Group Expenses with iPhone and Android App Settle Up - Published on 01/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bioport Software Labs today announces Settle Up 1.5.5.1, an update to its popular personal finance application developed for iOS and Android devices. Settle Up is an indispensable app for friends, roommates or colleagues who need to keep track of shared bills and expenses. It keeps tabs over who paid, what for, how many people participated on the payment, and what is the best way to settle up. Version 1.5.5.1 sports many cool new features that many users desired.

Prague, Czech Republic - Bioport Software Labs, a mobile application development company, today is pleased to announce the release of a crucial update with many new features of its personal finance application Settle Up, which has been available on the application market since 2011. Settle Up is an indispensable app for friends, roommates or colleagues who need to keep track of shared bills and expenses. It comes in handy when you're planning a group trip or a party and don't want to have it ruined by constant discussions over "who paid" and "who should pay". Both Settle Up versions have been downloaded by over 100.000 people with an average user rating 4.7 stars and are available in 16 languages.

Companion for life:
Thanks to Settle Up, its users will have an extremely useful companion at hand. It keeps tabs over who paid, what for, how many people participated on the payment, and what is the best way to settle up. Vladislav Musial, the Bioport Software Labs owner and developer underpins the reasons why to use this application: "We all have the experience of going on a trip with a bunch of friends and finding out that there is a number of shared expenses, which need to be recorded and later resolved. It all starts with a full tank at the first gas station, followed by parking fees, grocery shopping, and finally someone covering the restaurant bill with a credit card. At the end of the trip you find out that the list of all payments grew into enormous proportions and the chances to make any sense out of it are close to zero". Settle Up came to life with group trips and travellers in mind however others will find it useful as well. It can help a great deal to a group of co-workers, roommates or
even families and couples, who like to keep their expenses in check.

A great advantage of the application is the fact that it communicates with other group members' phones (both iPhone and Android devices) using cloud synchronization, which gives everyone a chance to actively add payments within their group. Settle Up also works fully offline. The number of groups is unlimited and one can jump from one group to another by swiping. In order to make the final settlement simpler Settle Up gives advice about who should pay next, which helps to lower the final amounts and the settlement process smoother.

New features you've been asking for:
The new Settle Up has many cool little features that many users desired. One of them is the possibility to photograph the receipt and attach it locally to the payment. The receipt can also be emailed to all group members. Settle Up also works in all existing currencies, which will surely be appreciated by a group of travelers heading abroad. It automatically downloads the currency exchange rate and allows for its manual adjustment. It also converts the owed amounts to the desired currency.

Another feature that we added and the users yearned for is a built-in calculator. A very useful aid when splitting one payment such as a restaurant bill. This way one can assign amounts to individual group members (e.g. John: 2x coffee/$4, 1x soup/$4; Sam: 1x Coffee/$2, 1x burger/$6) and only the final amount will be recorded.

In the new Settle Up version when you land on the "Settle debts" screen you can mark a payment off as "settled" or "partially settled" which automatically creates "Debt settlement" payment to equalize the total balance.

Key features
* Sync with other iPhone and Android devices, also works fully offline
* User friendly interface with stylish design
* Possibility to have multiple groups and swipe between them
* Calculator for split payments
* Possibility to attach a photo of a receipt
* All currencies available
* Minimal number of transactions to settle the debt
* Even and uneven split for payments
* Translated to 16 languages

Settle Up history and background:
Settle Up was originally conceived by a talented developer David "Destil" Vavra as his master thesis project and later won him an award at aDevCamp developer competition. The Android version of Settle Up also received the Vodafone Wild Card at the competition AppParade.

Bioport is a Czech creative studio based in Prague. It offers various services such as graphic design, web design, web project development, mobile apps development and marketing. For this project, Bioport teamed-up with Destil and created the iPhone version of Settle Up and the user interface design for both iPhone and Android version.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

Never pay a sitter again - uSit iSit app reinvents the Babysitting Co-Op - Published on 01/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In a neighborhood babysitting/childcare co-op, local parents exchange sitting duties with other parents, saving serious money on sitters. Sounds great, but how do you track all this to make sure everyone plays fair? Who keeps records? Who contacts everyone every time someone needs a sitter? Do you have to pay dues? And do you trust - or even know - these neighbors? But now, uSit iSit has re-innovated the babysitting co-op for the mobile mom, ensuring both stronger trust and greater convenience.

Brooklyn, New York - A neighborhood babysitting / childcare co-op with other families has always been a great idea. Each member exchanges sitting duties with the other members, saving serious money on sitters. Sounds wonderful, but then ... how do you track all this to make sure everyone plays fair? Who keeps records? Who contacts everyone every time someone needs a sitter? Do you have to pay dues? And do you trust - or even know - these neighbors?

uSit iSit Perfects the Babysitting Co-op:
* No strangers watching your child - only trusted friends
* No time wasted calling friends or sitters
* No spreadsheets to track sitting
* No membership applications or screening
* No meetings

How uSit iSit Perfects the Babysitting Co-op:
Each uSit iSit member is at the center of her own individual co-op. She only invites friends she trusts into this circle. Each of them is, in turn, the center of her own individual co-op, with her own personalized circle of trust. And so on it goes, organically spreading co-ops throughout the nation.

Unlike old-school babysitting co-ops, all administrative headaches are automated. When Mom needs a sitter, one tap tells her whole circle. When they respond, the app lets her know. Done. Sitter scheduled. End of drama.

Points are used as currency to track sitting - earned and spent for each hour - across all of uSit iSit's membership. But not one single member is forced to waste one single night in Excel hell keeping track of anything. The app does it all; seamlessly, invisibly, happily.

And since it's an app, all this coordination happens while mom is on-the-go. So whether it's date night, business, or a social engagement, planning and getting out - with peace of mind - has never been easier or cheaper. Share the Care, with uSit iSit.

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

Pricing and Availability:
uSit iSit 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category. An Android version is in the works.

Yitpic: Create and Share Photo Filters and Artwork with New iPad App - Published on 01/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yitpic 1.0 is the world's first digital image and photo filter sharing social network, now available for the iPad and iPad Mini. Yitpic's advanced image editing and retouching functionality can be used to edit photos, creating unique and artistic images, with the resulting settings shareable as new custom photo filters, giving other users the ability to apply them to their own images. Photographers are no longer limited to using the same photo filters as everyone else.

Arlington Heights, Illinois - Penny Road, Inc. announces the release of Yitpic 1.0, the world's first image and photo filter sharing social network for artists and photographers. Built around creating and sharing original photo filters and digital artwork, the Yitpic app is an advanced image editor offering endless adjustments for image enhancing. Yitpic is now available for iPad and iPad Mini on the Apple iTunes Store.

Editing and Retouching:
Yitpic offers standard image editing controls, such as brightness, contrast and color balance, in addition to a variety of effects, such as borders, textures, gradients, blur, glow, and vintage lens effects. Yitpic also includes Magazine Quality Retouch, a process used by professional retouchers to add sheen to the skin in fashion, beauty and glamour photography. From a modern professional glossy look to retro film style, to something outrageous and cartoony, Yitpic puts complete creative control at the fingertips of its users.

Creating Filters:
All of Yitpic's settings can be combined to create an infinite variety of eye catching photo filters. Yitpic is the first app to allow the creation of custom photo filters and the ability to share them with other artists and photographers worldwide.

Preset Filters:
Yitpic comes standard with over 230 preset filters (with many more online), grouped into categories such as Vintage, Artistic, People, Landscape, and Hollywood. The filters are optimized to enhance different types of pictures, for example, "Nightlife" improves the dark and harsh portraits taken at a party or nightclub, while "50's Hollywood Glamour" gives photos the glamorous style made famous by legendary Hollywood photographer George Hurrell. Some filters are corrective, and are designed to correct flaws like underexposure or low saturation. Because every photo is different, Yitpic makes it easy to further adjust the photo after the filter has been applied.

Sharing Artwork:
Yitpic also lets users share to Facebook and Twitter, as well as to its own photo sharing network, at the touch of a button. Yitpic's photo sharing network gives users the unique ability to add their artistic vision to original photos shared by other users. As long as a user has allowed editing of their raw image, other users can edit the original image and upload it as a photo response, allowing artists to share their creativity with other artists.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Yitpic 1.0 is available at the introductory price of $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.
