IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hidden Creek Software has released the latest version of iPhone/iPad application called iMathGenius 2.1. iMathGenius is the ultimate math app which covers the math subjects from kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade and up to pre-college level such as SAT test. The types of the test include basic number operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division; number comparison; number serial; decimal and fraction operation; unit conversion; geometry; trigonometry; and more.

Rochester, New York - Hidden Creek Software has released its latest version of iPhone/iPad application called iMathGenius. iMathGenius is the ultimate math app which covers the math subjects from kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade and up to pre-college level equivalent to SAT test and Chinese National College Exam. The types of the test include basic number operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division; number comparison; number serial; decimal and fraction operation; unit conversion; geometry; trigonometry; algebra; logarithm; numerical power and root. Advanced tests also include complex number operation; number set theory; statistics theory; linear and quadratic equation; simple derivatives and calculus; and probability theory.

iMathGenius has a simple, friendly user interface and is easy to navigate between screens. The theme of the app is simple. Upon launching the app, you type your name and age; it automatically selects a difficulty level and the number of test questions for you to test your math skill. You collect reward points if you answer a question correctly. A timer in background records the time that you've taken to answer all the questions. If you reach a reward threshold set by the app based on your age and the difficulty level you select, you will be rewarded by a surprise. At the end of the each test, a test score report will be displayed. The report includes how many questions being tested, how many correct answers, score and the total time spent in answering the questions. At any given time, the user can choose different test levels and different numbers of test questions. A background music can also be enabled or disable to the user's choice.

The goal to develop the app is to attract users to play the game and challenge themselves to get the ultimate surprise reward. By playing the game frequently, users can definitely improve their math skills.
Since it covers almost all the subjects taught in school from kindergarten up until high school, players as young as toddlers can play the game. It is also a good SAT math preparation tool for high school seniors in the US or Chinese National College Exam in China. For adults, it can also sharpen your mind wherever and whenever you are.

Finally, in order to reach broader user bases, in addition to its English version, iMathGenius is also translated in Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Group Meetups Go Mobile with the Nationwide Release of Martini on iOS - Published on 02/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Social urbanites can meet new people for fun and exciting meetups with the nationwide launch of Martini 1.5 on iOS, after public beta in New York. Featuring a sleek, photo-based layout, Martini sets up groups of friends with other groups of friends to get people offline and out into the city for group mixers. Individuals can now bypass the awkwardness of meeting new people one-on-one by setting up casual hangouts among friends.

New York, New York - Social urbanites can meet new people for fun and exciting meetups with the nationwide launch of Martini 1.5 on iOS. Featuring a sleek, photo-based layout, Martini sets up groups of friends with other groups of friends to get people offline and out into the city for group mixers. Individuals can now bypass the awkwardness of meeting new people one-on-one by setting up casual hangouts among friends.

"Meeting new people should be fun and easy," says Abel Acua, Martini Co-Founder and recent Harvard graduate. "Sitting alone at a computer is not how we naturally meet new people. It is often a more casual activity done with people you already know. Martini gets groups of friends together offline so they can meet other outgoing people in their city."

Using Facebook Connect to instantly populate their profiles, users create Martini groups with up to four of their existing friends on Facebook. Martini matches groups every day at midnight using an algorithm loosely weighted according to age, education, and additional social graph information. Groups then have 24 hours to decide whether or not to accept and chat with their new matches to set up a future hangout.

Prior to its nationwide release, Martini launched a public beta version limited to New York City. Improvements found in the nationwide update include enhanced Group Profile features, including a Team Chat that allows friends to privately text each other within the app to discuss their Daily Match and to better coordinate meetups. Members can also use Martini's improved Match Criteria options, which allow members to set match preferences according to age, ethnicity, and more.

"We're excited to finally launch Martini nationwide after a month of improvements based on our New York beta. It's been so much fun hearing about and seeing members meet via Martini, and we can't wait to hear it goes across the US."

Feature Highlights:
* Group Cover Photo
* Team Chat lets individual Martini group members text privately within the app
* Group Profile now includes a Group Gallery of photos displaying Martini group member friendships
* Improved Match Criteria options for more specific pairings
* Overall design beautification

Language Support:
English and Korean

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

Pricing and Availability:
Martini 1.5 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

Scramble: Word Puzzle Game for iOS-Slide Letters Offscreen to Flip Order - Published on 02/14/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Sergey Safonov today introduces Scramble: Word Puzzle Game for iOS, his mind-altering game where players must rearrange a group of letters to form a word in as few turns as possible. Played against Zen-like background photos, it is unlike typical word games that permit moving individual letters to any position. Scramble players must drag groups of one or more letters off the screen moving left or right. Moved letters reappear in reverse order on the opposite side of the screen.

Long Beach, California - Indie developer Sergey Safonov today is pleased to introduce Scramble: Word Puzzle Game 1.0 for iOS, his mind-altering game where players must rearrange a group of letters to form a word in as few turns as possible. Played against Zen-like background photos, it is unlike typical word games that permit moving individual letters to any position. Scramble players must move a contiguous group of one or more letters off the screen by dragging it offscreen to the left or right. Moved letters reappear in reverse order on the opposite side of the screen. For example, given the letters MBLEARCS, the player drags ARCS all the way to the right until it reappears reversed on the left side of the screen to spell SCRAMBLE.

Feature Highlights:
* Challenging word puzzle game, dragging letter groups offscreen
* Spatial and linear thinking skills are required
* Relax, and allow your mind to solve the puzzle before you move a single letter
* Beautiful, HiRes photos put you in a state of restful alertness
* Challenge friends and family to find the solutions in 2, 3, or 4 moves

Word games are a special favorite of puzzle fans, and Scramble offers a new kind of word puzzle game inspired by the virtual depth of flat, touchscreen mobile devices. In the example above, imagine a circular track that holds all the letters. When the letter group ARCS circles to the right and emerges from the left, the first letter to reappear onscreen is S, the second is C, the third is R, and the fourth is A, hence the transformation from ARCS to SCRA.

Each puzzle is represented by a thumbnail photo. Touching the photo brings up a fullscreen, HiRes display of the photo, whose focus softens, and the puzzle appears onscreen. A superscript number follows the final letter, indicating the minimum number of moves required to solve the puzzle. During gameplay this number is decremented by 1 each time the player makes a move, keeping score.

Really a two-part puzzle, players must first solve the anagram of 8 or more letters, and then devise a strategy of moving letter groups to create the word. As in Scrabble, some players will start by rearranging letters in a trial and error effort to find a possible word.

"One of the most challenging, mind-bending word puzzles for iOS, Scramble will force you to consult the spatial skills of your right brain to solve the word identification problem tackled by your left brain," commented Sergey Safonov.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 5.0MB

Pricing and Availability:
Scramble: Word Puzzle Game 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

Photo Sense Lite - Easy Photo Enhancement Software Becomes Free - Published on 02/14/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From VeprIT with love: Photo Sense Lite becomes free during Saint Valentine's Day! Photo Sense is an easy-to-use photo editing solution for Mac and iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. Photo Sense Lite for Mac is a younger brother of the full Mac version. It implements the same automatic photo enhancement algorithm and provides the same semi-automatic processing tools as the full version. This app is designed to make photos more attractive quickly and easily, either automatically or with a minimum effort.

Zoetermeer, Netherlands - From VeprIT with love: Photo Sense Lite (originally sold at $3.99) becomes free at the Saint Valentine's Day! Photo Sense is a powerful, but very easy to use photo editing software for Mac and iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. It is designed to make photographs more attractive quickly and easily, without spending a lot of time and money on learning, purchasing, and using professional photo manipulation software. Photo Sense enhances photos automatically, and allows users to customize results to their liking. In addition, the users can apply various creative effects.

The unique automatic photo enhancement algorithm implemented in Photo Sense embraces everything its developers learned during over 6 years of professional photography experience. The only shortcoming the application has compared to manual processing is the lack of human vision, which sometimes can lead to a suboptimal choice of automatic image processing parameters. With the tools provided by Photo Sense, the user can easily and quickly perfect the automatic results.

Photo Sense Lite for Mac is a younger brother of the full Mac version. It implements the same automatic photo enhancement algorithm and provides the same semi-automatic processing tools as the full version. However, it only works with a single image at a time, and does not allow manual adjustments. The full Mac version is much more than the automatic photo enhancement engine, there is a powerful batch photo editor around it, with the following main distinguishing features:

* Batch processing: add, apply custom processing options and effects, and save multiple images at a time
* Manual (traditional) photo adjustments working in sync with the automatic engine
* Copying & pasting of image settings between different photographs. This applies to processing options (including manual adjustments), effects, and even crop & straighten settings. It saves enormous amounts of time when editing many photos
* Photographs can be processed in parallel on computers with multiple CPUs. For example, on a dual-core system, processing of multiple images happens about twice faster

Note: it is not guaranteed that Photo Sense Lite will stay free forever.

Special offer for Photo Sense Lite buyers:
We do not wish the users who previously bought Photo Sense Lite to regret this purchase. Thus, we have a special offer for them: 30% discount for the full Mac version! This saves about 2.5 times what was paid for Photo Sense Lite.

To take advantage of this offer, the users should send a proof of Photo Sense Lite purchase to VeprIT support. The best proof is the e-mail receipt from iTunes Store, but a screenshot of the "Purchases" tab in the Mac App Store software will also do. The purchase must be made before and including Februray 13, 2013. If confirmed, the user will receive a 30% discount code which can be used on our site. This offer is valid for 3 months from February 14, 2013 till May 14, 2013.

Testimonials:

Dresden, Germany - Classic Empire Builder Knights and Merchants 1.0 has been released on the Mac App Store. The game was originally developed for the PC by Topware Interactive and is now for the first time available for users of Intel Macs. The Mac Appstore version is a multi-language version that contains versions in English, German, French and Italian. Knights and Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom is available on the Mac App Store for $9.99 USD.

Knights And Merchants recreates the era of the Middle Ages. Apart from the purely fictitious geography of our world, all game elements and scenes are based on the Anglo-Saxon period, ca. 1200 A.D. And we haven't used imaginary elements like fabled creatures, either. The player takes on the role of an ordinary captain in the Palace Guard. A conspiracy against the king catapults the captain into a situation where he finds himself responsible for the defense of the last royal province. This is all that remains of the shattered kingdom, which has been split into numerous small principalities and fiefdoms. And now even the king himself, ensconced in his capital, is threatened by enemy armies. This is the starting point of your Middle Ages adventure. Now you must win back all those provinces which once belonged to your king.

Knights And Merchants can be described as a strategic economy simulation. Economics play a major role in this real-time action game. The player can manufacture different products, making use of numerous buildings and producer goods of the Middle Ages period. He can then use his serfs to construct and maintain buildings and roads. The economical structuring is very specific - you manufacture finished products using various raw materials which go through your production processes. All these manufacturing systems are highly detailed and visually understandable, enabling fast and dependable control of your economy.

* Lush realistic landscapes based on the European countryside
