PhotoPhrase adds Instraphrase to its App Lineup - Published on 02/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ArcadiaApps, a.k.a., StudentShortcuts, Inc., has added Instaphrase to their lineup of photo/video apps. InstaPhrase contains the same innovative photo-captioning tools Arcadia made available in PhotoPhrase, including scrollable font colors and word rotation, but in an abridged version that makes it simpler to communicate a picture's purpose or origin. Add amazing typography to your pictures and photos. Create stunning artistic images that you can share with friends and family.

Dallas, Texas - Jose Castro-Fidel, CEO and founder of Arcadia Apps, is pleased with the success of his original text-on-photo application, (PhotoPhrase); but has responded to requests for an even simpler program by developing Instaphrase, a compressed photo-labeling app that disentangles the user from the dilemma of too many choices. "When throwing a word or phrase onto a picture in a few seconds is imperative, InstaPhrase fits the bill," Jose says.

Insights on Instaphrase:
* Free trial version with watermark
* $0.99 for Instaphrase Pro (no watermark)
* Rotates words and/or Individual letters
* Offers an array of scrollable font colors
* Includes instant-share options via Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter
* Upgradeable to PhotoPhrase
* Unique Custom Typography
* Awesome UI/UX for users

InstaPhrase offers an array of custom typography that helps users "get their creative juices flowing." Castro says. "We believe this app will encourage a wider audience to experiment with photo-labeling and photo-captioning. Its user-friendly interface is designed so that novice users can immediately create unique results." He goes on to note that Arcadia offers a free version of InstaPhrase so that users can "try before they buy." He believes that, "Once they see how easy it is to use, they will want InstaPharase Pro," (which removes the InstaPhrase watermark from pictures).

Arcadia Apps is the forerunner in creative picture-labeling apps. Their constantly-updated formatting accommodates the most sophisticated artist or designer and includes:

* Adding pricing to photos for Ebay or Craigslist
* Creating album-style honorariums for friends and family
* Creating funny text, captions, or memos-on-pics
* Creating artistic photography
* Sharing text-on-photos with friends and family
* One-tap uploading to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or email

Castro promises that his team is constantly developing new photo-captioning features. "Adding type on photos has never been easier or more enjoyable," he reasserts, "because we offer a great support system that encourages feedback. We love devising any new attributes our clients request."

Although Arcadia Apps gained its recognition by developing photo-labeling apps, Castro reports they are currently expanding their repertoire. "You can expect to see more variety from us in the iOS platform very soon," he promises.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 Gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 17.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Instaphrase Pro 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. A free abridged version of Instaphrase is available.

Mediakitchen Releases Explore and Learn Shapes App for Preschoolers - Published on 02/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mediakitchen has released a fun and friendly educational app, Explore and Learn Shapes 1.0, that introduces the subject of shapes to children aged 2 to 5. With lively Irish background music and full voice over and sound effects, the app features 8 shape games introduced by a friendly leprechaun by the name of Lucky. While reinforcing learning about shapes, this app enhances understanding instructions, recognition, naming, assessment of differences, counting, co-ordination, and more.

Wellington, United Kingdom - Mediakitchen has released a fun and friendly educational app that introduces the subject of shapes to children aged 2 to 5. With lively Irish background music and full voice over and sound effects, Explore and Learn Shapes 1.0 features 8 shape games introduced by a friendly leprechaun by the name of Lucky.

When children work with basic shapes they acquire skills that will help them learn to read, write and to embark on maths; children unconsciously learn the 'shape' of letters and numbers.

While reinforcing learning about shapes, this app also enhances abilities such as understanding instructions, recognition, naming, assessment of differences, counting, co-ordination, observation and logical deduction.

Throughout the games, Lucky the Leprechaun responds to the child's efforts with positive encouragement and congratulations as appropriate.

Correct answers make the shapes turn to golden coins that drop into Lucky's pot of gold with a satisfying jingle. There are prizes in the form of virtual stickers to be chosen and collected every time the child completes a series of four games. Using the stickers the child is able to build their own unique scene which also serves as an indicator to the parents of how many games the child has successfully completed.

Via the parental settings, the app can be customised to offer only those games an individual child is comfortable with. The settings also enable selecting which colours and shapes to include in the games, thereby enabling parents to introduce specific shapes and colour as the child progresses with their learning.

Games can be as straightforward as choosing a particular shape when prompted, through to a simple pairs matching game, or a game involving re-assembling a 'broken' shape via a jigsaw. At all times the games are fun but also educational, improving concentration and memory, and strengthening learning.

Explore and Learn Shapes reinforces abilities such as:
* Naming shapes
* Colour recognition
* Assessment of difference
* Counting
* Understanding relative sizes
* Understanding instructions
* Co-ordination
* Observation and memory
* Logical deduction

Language Support:
English, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 18.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Explore and Learn Shapes 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Education category. The app is also available for Android.

Three special edition costumes and 70 diamonds will be given away to the first players who sign up by February 17th! Afterwards, Pop Rocks World will be available for free but these one-time-only bonuses will be gone forever.

Everyone who has ever dreamt of being a rock star, a pop sensation, or the next top rap act can rest easy. They might not be doing it in the real world, but they're free to rise to the top in this vast role playing experience. Pop Rocks World is more than a game. It's a fun-filled simulation of the type of work and rewards the biggest stars in music go through. Players parlay hard work and a solid dose of luck into stardom. To do it, they'll need to play show after show at locations starting from neighbourhood parks to sold out stadium concerts.

The more shows they play, the more fans and money they'll earn, and the more they'll level up! Cash and diamonds can be used to buy cool styles, take music lessons, record albums, buy hot rides, and everything else today's music big shots need. Players can even meet their favourite music icons and challenge them to music showdowns!

Far from a single player experience, Pop Rocks World lets gamers take on other aspiring singers from all over the world via an intense, fast-paced heads-up arcade battles! The game is simple: players have coins and fans at stake and need to wear down their opponents before they run out of health! To do it, they need to pick the biggest number out of nine, and their challenger does the same. The higher the players' level, the higher numbers they'll be offered so pick matches wisely!

With everything from customized instruments, cars and hair styles to choose from, there's never a dull moment in Pop Rocks World. When it's time to record, gamers can choose the genre of their albums - everything between bubbly pop to hardcore rap is covered to appease any musical taste! Don't slouch, get your music mega star on, win awards, sell out concert tickets, and live out your dreams today with Pop Rocks World on the App Store!
