Padgram 3.5 for iPad: Free Instagram Viewer in Top 3 of U.S. Photo Apps - Published on 02/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pinssible Labs today announces Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 3.5, a major update to its app, which has become the preferred Instagram viewer for iPad. Unlike other viewers, Padgram offers fast and simple tagging, browsing, and interaction with others for a better social experience, spam-free Shoutouts, and browsing by Popularity as well as Category: Nature, Pets, Girls, Kids, Food, Fashion, Cars, and Architecture. The update includes support for seven new languages, and Evernote & Tumblr.

Wuhan, China - Pinssible Labs today is pleased to announce Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 3.5, a major update to its photo app, which has become the preferred Instagram viewer for iPad. Listed in the Top 3 Photo & Video apps in the U.S. App Store, Padgram offers fast and simple tagging, browsing, and interaction with other users for a better social experience, spam-free Shoutouts, and browsing by Popularity as well as Category: Nature, Pets, Girls, Kids, Food, Fashion, Cars, and Architecture. The update includes support for seven new languages, Evernote & Tumblr sharing, and optional multiple user account management.

Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad is the #1 Photo App in 10 countries, and a Top 10 Photo App in 80 countries. It features an outstanding GUI, blazing speed, and an innovative browsing system based on Categories in addition to Popularity. Although browsing based on number of followers is common in Instagram and Instagram viewers, results are often skewed towards celebrities and businesses. Instead of browsing the most popular photos, users instead are browsing the photos of the most popular people or companies posting photos. With browsing by Categories, Padgram can more accurately reflect the interest in photos posted by a broad spectrum of typical Instagram users. Each Category contains 100 users of the service, chosen by experts at Padgram. Users can contact Padgram to apply for inclusion in a Category, and new Categories will be added over time.

The most important new feature in this update of Padgram is the broad expansion of the languages supported. Thanks to the voluntary contributions of Padgram enthusiasts who contributed high quality translations, the app has added seven new languages to the original support for English and Chinese. They are: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese. Multiple Account Management, allowing multiple users, has been added as an optional extra. And new sharing support for Evernote and Tumblr further extends Padgram's lead over competing Instagram viewers.

Padgram Feature Highlights:

Beautiful Layout and Blistering Speed
* Support for both portrait and landscape orientation
* Optimized for Retina display
* Stacked layout makes it easy to return to where you were
* Named "the fastest Instagram iPad app" by users
* NEW frequently asked questions feature

Padgram augments the social experience of Instagram viewing on the iPad. The user is presented with a grid of photos in whichever group he or she searches, whether it be Followed, Subscriptions, Likes, or Popular photos. The grid uses the entirety of the iPad's large screen, allowing clear and vivid shots of each picture sized reasonably. To view just one picture, the user simply taps on the desired photo. A screen will then slide over, showing the photo's description, comments, and likes.

Here, the user is able to comment with just one tap on the Add Comments space. Along with the keyboard, Padgram also offers easy symbol use, so the user does not have to switch keyboards to add a common @ symbol, hashtag, emoticon, etc. While a custom hashtag symbol on its own is available, the app also offers suggestions for popular tags.

Padgram's Searched feature is especially advanced in its suggestion technology. The app retains the user's searches, so that a user returning for the same search does not have to retype. The search feature also offers intelligent suggestions for user names or tags as users type, so they may choose one with just a simple click.

Sharing photos is easy with Padgram; it allows users to save and send pictures to email as well as the popular social networking sites Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Evernote, Tumblr, Pocket, and Sina Weibo.

The Promote (Shoutout) button selects six random photos a member has posted, and the app creates a visually pleasing collage. There are three photos in the top row and three in the bottom row, and each photo is tilted slightly, each overlapping two adjacent photos just a bit. This sophisticated design presents a sampling of the member's tastes and interests, and serves as a stylish image that is ideal for giving or requesting a Shoutout.

"We are always trying to be responsive to Padgram users' requests for new features," commented Paul Yan of Pinssible. "We have had a most fulfilling experience working with end users who provided additional language support. It has always been our goal to work in partnership with the loyal community of Padgram users to continue to refine and grow the app."

English, Simplified Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese

Street View: New App Brings Street View Back to Maps App! - Published on 02/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The German company FutureTap, known for its high quality location finder, Where To?, introduces Street View for iOS. Street View integrates with Apple Maps and allows it to easily display the widely popular street view panoramas. Street View has more than 300 gallery panoramas and displays the map of the current location. Dropping a pin or searching for a city, address or address book contact is seamless.

Seefeld, Germany - In the old iOS 5.0, everything was in order. There was the Maps app with Google Street View built-in. Then came the updated, new version of Maps designed by Apple.

* Integration with the location finder, Where To?

In iOS 6.0 Apple ditched the beloved Google Maps app and replaced it with an in-house work in progress. One big user concern: the street view feature is missing. First-person street perspectives of homes, businesses and streetscapes are important to users. Travelers, for example, can use Street View to check out neighborhoods before booking hotel rooms or other reservations. Many sightseeing spots are even covered with special gallery panoramas.

iPhone and iPad users demanded the return of street view to their beloved devices.

Street View by FutureTap: the app that brings street view back! The German company FutureTap, known for its high quality location finder, Where To?, is proud to introduce the all new app, Street View.

The best surprise is that Street View can be launched directly from the iOS 6 Maps app. It is supported like any other 3rd party app. By tapping the bus icon in the Maps app the user can see what lies ahead.

Ortwin Gentz, FutureTap CEO states, "Now all iPhone and iPad users can launch Street View for any place, view the panorama and return to the Maps app with a single tap."

Street View integrates seamlessly with FutureTap's Where To? app, and also can be used on its own.

Street View has more than 300 gallery panoramas. After it's launched, Street View displays the map of the current location. Dropping a pin or searching for a city, address or address book contact is seamless. Both satellite and hybrid map modes are supported.

If available for the selected location the user can jump to street view and navigate through the panorama. The mini map in the corner always displays the current position, viewing angle and field of view.

The app is preloaded with more than 300 worldwide gallery panoramas. It showcases museums, ski resorts, theme parks and even underwater destinations. The indoor panoramas, such as museums, reach over their impressive multiple floor levels. All recent searches and the selected map type are automatically synced between the user's devices via iCloud.

Mud Snail Maiden 1.0 Free for iOS - Interactive Korean Fable in English - Published on 02/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gaon today introduces Mud Snail Maiden 1.0 free for iOS, its interactive kid's book that retells the popular Korean fable for English speaking audiences. Similar in structure and action to the European fables familiar in the West, kids and parents will be fascinated by the homes, daily life, castles, and villains depicted in this classic fable from the East. An anibook, it has no text or pages, but uses children's book illustrations and animations, plus the voices of the characters and narrator.

Seoul, Korea - Gaon, Inc. today is pleased to introduce Mud Snail Maiden 1.0 free for iOS, its new interactive kid's book that is a retelling of the popular Korean fable for English speaking audiences. Similar in plot structure and action to the European fables so well known in the West, both kids and parents will be fascinated by the unusual homes, daily life, castles, and villains depicted in this classic fable from the East. Mud Snail Maiden is called an anibook; it has no text or pages, but uses original children's book illustrations, and the voices of characters and the narrator are heard aloud. Cinematic editing techniques add drama to the story, and kids can touch the continue button embedded in scenes to go on with the story.

According to Wikipedia, "A fable is a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, mythical creatures, plants, inanimate objects or forces of nature which are anthropomorphized (given human qualities such as verbal communication), and that illustrates or leads to an interpretation of a moral lesson (a moral), which may at the end be added explicitly in a pithy maxim."

Feature Highlights:
* A wonderful story from Korea, the lamp of Asia
* Classic fable translated for English speaking audiences
* Beautiful illustrations and fun music and sound effects
* Every scene is filled with Korea's picturesque scenery and the beauty of its traditional culture

Resembling in some ways The Princess and the Frog, Mud Snail Maiden is about a simple snail who, it is revealed later in the story, is really the beautiful daughter of the Dragon King under the sea. Bawoo, the hero, discovers the snail one day as he is plowing his field. He bemoans that after his hard work he has no one with whom to share his lunch. He hears a small voice saying, "I will." He cannot discover where the voice is coming from, and there are many humorous moments as he imagines the scarecrow, tree, or house has come to life.

Finally, he discovers the small, pink mud snail in the freshly turned furrow beneath him. She asks him to bring her home and keep her in his large water jar. The next morning, he wakes up to find that his breakfast is waiting for him. He is amazed. He does not make any connection between the snail and this miraculous event. As time goes on, his meals are cooked, house cleaned, and laundry washed whenever he returns from work.

He decides to hide, so he can discover whom he needs to thank for all this unexpected help. He sees the lid to his water barrel rise, and a beautiful princess emerges. She is responsible for all the work that has been secretly done. Bawoo asks her to marry him, but she refuses.

Kids will discover why the maiden was turned into a mud snail, if the two ever marry, and the involvement of her father, the Dragon King. Kids will quickly recognize Mud Snail Maiden as a moral tale with all the elements of the famous fables and fairy tales of the Grimm Brothers or Hans Christian Anderson. Completely new in Mud Snail Maiden will be the Korean characters and settings. A wonderful cross-cultural experience, the anibook is destined to become a favorite of kids everywhere.

Listen and Learn with Lots2Spot, a New iPad Game for Toddlers - Published on 02/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hiyu2 introduces Lots2Spot 1.0.1, a new iPad game designed to help toddlers listen and learn vocabulary, colors, simple counting and categorization. Colorful illustrations keep parents and children engaged as they look and find objects in this fun app. A huge variety of over 500 brilliantly illustrated objects keeps children engaged while they listen and learn. Lots2Spot includes three levels of play, and is designed for ages eighteen months to kindergarten.

Seattle, Washington - Hiyu2, a game app development company based in Seattle, introduces Lots2Spot 1.0.1, a fun new "listen and find" iPad app designed specifically for toddlers to play alone or with their parents. A huge variety (500+) of brilliantly illustrated objects keeps children engaged while they listen and learn vocabulary, colors, and numbers up to five. Who wouldn't want to "find the purple paper clip" or the "upside-down walrus"!?

The inspirations for Lots2Spot were the developer's friends and families, and what Hiyu2 co-founder Stephanie Krimmel calls, "a general lack of iPad games for 2-year-olds that are both truly appropriate for toddlers and enjoyable for parents to play with them. Too many are difficult to use (some require reading), force the kid to touch something they shouldn't (like a knife), or are just downright annoying."

Krimmel's obsession with finding the perfect apps for toddlers led to a Web site, the Picky Kid App Guide, where she rates and reviews iPad apps for kids, and ultimately, to the creation of Lots2Spot.

Hiyu2 co-founder and designer Jennifer Bartlett says, "We created Lots2Spot with a bit of a hidden agenda. We really wanted to draw the cutest creatures, most intriguing objects, and beautiful backgrounds, so that we love playing and watching the screen randomly fill up too. It's been really fun developing personalities for the animals... The bear is just a little bit needy!"

Lots2Spot includes three levels of play, and is fun for ages eighteen months to kindergarten. The first level builds vocabulary for very young children with brightly colored flashcards. In Levels 2 and 3, the screen fills with lots of objects (28 or 40, respectively) and players "clean up" by listening to the prompts and finding the right items. As they progress, they'll learn colors, adjectives, categorization and counting. The game can made more (or less) challenging in the app's settings. Voiceover prompts can be turned off for readers who want to help a younger child play.

Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad or iPad mini with iOS 6.0 or later
* 75.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Lots2Spot 1.0.1 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games/Educational category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Montreal based Nicholas Stratigopoulos announces Soccer PE 1.1, an update to his 3rd educational app developed for iOS devices. Soccer PE is designed to encourage physical activity through the sport of soccer and ultimately designed to encourage the adoption of an active and healthy lifestyle for children. The app helps teach the fundamental principles of the sport of soccer as well as to provide users with the tools and guidance to having fun and learning through the game.

Montreal, Canada - Nicholas Stratigopoulos, a physical and health education teacher is pleased to announced the launch of his 3rd educational app, Soccer PE. It is designed to encourage physical activity through the sport of soccer and ultimately designed to encourage the adoption of an active and healthy lifestyle for children.

Soccer PE features many soccer-related games and activities for physical education settings with the intention of providing an additional soccer resource for physical education teachers. After all, it is not only their job of getting children active, but also improving their quality of life by consciously choosing to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

Soccer PE is the 3rd educational app game that Nicholas Stratigopoulos, a physical education teacher and graduate of McGill University, has launched to encourage and captivate both Phys Ed teachers and students alike. The application is not like any other soccer application on the market. It is designed to teach the fundamental principles of the sport of soccer as well as to provide users with the tools and guidance to having fun and learning through the game of soccer.

Soccer PE is more than just about the sport of soccer, but also about developing a healthy and active lifestyle. It will become a valuable teaching aid for physical education teachers and coaches as well as a valuable resource that students can use for extra games and activities.

The lessons are categorized according to four essentials to the game of soccer - how to handle the ball, how to play defense, how to pass the ball between teammates, and how to shoot the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net. Users can also familiarize themselves with the rules and laws of the game.

Soccer PE contains quick response codes that redirects to visual explanations and demonstrations of the key skills in soccer, including defensive strategies, dribbling, passing, headers and other related concepts.

As previously mentioned, Soccer PE also tests the level of knowledge that the user has in regards to the game of soccer with the use of quizzes. These quizzes aren't just beneficial for students, but they also help professional and teachers supplement their own knowledge of the game.

Soccer PE has over 100 games available in the database and more games are being developed with invitations for other developers to submit their own work. Very few apps have been developed with such success in being educative, interactive and geared towards changing people's lifestyles, but like his previous applications (TGfU Games PE & Basketball PE), Soccer PE delivers.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Soccer PE 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Francisco based WaterField Designs today announced they will ship a box of Girl Scout Cookies with every U.S. domestic order received from February 22 to 29, 2013.

Now he's sharing his sizeable cookie stash with domestic customers who purchase bags or cases from WaterField Designs the last week of February.

The $790 million Girl Scout Cookie operation is the largest girl-led business in the world. Buying a box of cookies supports the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which teaches girls goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

Toughturtle LLC Releases Dive Bonaire An Interactive iOS App For Divers - Published on 02/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toughturtle LLC today introduces Dive Bonaire 1.0, the first interactive dive site App for iOS. Dive Bonaire was created by divers, for divers. Tailored specifically for the scuba diver while either on, or off, the island of Bonaire, the App gives the user a wealth of information in an easy-to-use and feature-rich user interface. With over 100 dive sites automatically plotted on the map, the user can zoom, scroll, & tap on a dive site to be presented with the dive site name, its rating and more.

New York, New York - Toughturtle LLC today is proud to announce the release of Dive Bonaire, the first interactive dive site App for iOS. Tailored specifically for the scuba diver while either on, or off, the island of Bonaire, the App gives the user a wealth of information in an easy-to-use and feature-rich user interface. Dive Bonaire was created by divers, for divers.

Bonaire's pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the Caribbean, and diving Bonaire is like diving the Caribbean the way it used to be - untouched and unspoiled. And so, the Dive Bonaire App is unique and the way a diving App should be - interactive and universally informative.

The user interface of the App couldn't be simpler. Upon launch, the user is presented with a full screen map of their location. Non-bonaire locations will be prompted to zoom directly to the map of Bonaire. With over 100 dive sites automatically plotted on the map, the user can zoom, scroll, and tap on a dive site to be presented with the dive site name and its rating. Tapping on the icon will open a detailed information screen chock full of everything you need to know about that site, even the distance from the user. From here you can rate, add personal notes, and mark the site as did dive, plan to dive, or did not dive. This feature creates a Dive Log ("bucket list") so you can remember which sites you want to dive at a later time. A comprehensive list of dive sites, sorted by name, distance, snorkeling, and the previously mentioned Dive Log, is included that quickly showcases the name, location, distance, and rating.

The beautiful Fish Identification feature of the App highlights over 115 fish, creatures, and corals that are found in Bonaire. Scroll through the list, each with thumbnail images, and tap on an item to reveal a detailed screen of information. From there you can mark the fish, creature, or coral as seen at any of the dive site locations which will create a personal Fish Id log. And what would a dive App be without up to the minute weather conditions and five day forecasts. All this and much more.

Features of the App:
* Over 100 dive sites automatically plotted on the fully interactive map
* Tap to get all the important information about a dive site: location, coordinates, distance, diver experience, depth, current, visibility, dangers, and more
* Updated dive site ratings from the global network of the App's users
* Add notes, rate, and mark a dive site to your personal "Bucket List"
* Fish identification: featuring name, binomial nomenclature, descriptions, and the ability to notate where you saw it
* Current weather information, including five day forecasts
* Avoid expensive roaming fees. Dive Bonaire can be used both online and offline. All content can be viewed instantly, from anywhere, without an internet connection
* Dive Bonaire is the most comprehensive app for Bonaire, with over 100 dive sites and identification for the local fish, creatures, and corals
* Detailed information about Bonaire and valuable shore diving tips to make the most out of your dives
* Settings to toggle between different date formats, units (imperial or metric), auto-zoom, and more

"I am really excited about the Dive Bonaire App," said Todd Barnes, Lead Developer, Toughturtle LLC. "As a diver and a frequent visitor to Bonaire, I wanted to make an App that everyone could use before, during, and after their visit to Bonaire. I found the free paper maps to be a great resource, but in this smartphone/tablet world a truly native and interactive dive site solution is a must. The addition of the fish identification was also key to the App. Reference books are great for fish id, but can become overwhelming when they showcase all Caribbean marine life. This way, the main Bonaire fish, creatures, and corals are already pulled out and organized for you."

Device Requirements:

The first issue launched in January 2013, reports on current edtech issues such as 'Why Kids Should Learn to Code', 'How Teachers use Minecraft', and 'Augmented Reality in Education'. It also features some great guides to using Google, Edmodo and Glogster in the classroom.
