Meetings - Getting Meetings Done with the New App for Mac and iPhone - Published on 02/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Command Guru today introduces Meetings, their new Mac and iPhone app that lets you organize and keep track of your meetings. Meetings helps users think about, and do, the right things like inviting just the right people, plan preparation activities, define an agenda, take notes of the discussions and decisions, and, most of all, define the next steps. Meetings uses an innovative input method called Smart Entry, that allows the user to enter a whole meeting just using the keyboard.

Carpi, Italy - Command Guru today is pleased to introduce Meetings, the Mac and iPhone app that lets you organize and keep track of your meetings. Simply by filling the sections, Meetings helps users think about, and do, the right things like inviting just the right people, plan preparation activities, define an agenda, take notes of the discussions and decisions, and, most of all, define the next steps.

After the meeting, the App allows access the minutes very quickly, in the office from the Mac or on the go with the iPhone. It is easy to check what was discussed and decided in all past meetings.

"Productive meetings are a vital part of being successful," says Alessio Zito Rossi, founder and CEO of Command Guru, "but having productive meetings is easier said than done. Meetings for Mac and iPhone helps you change that."

Meetings uses an innovative input method called Smart Entry, that allows the user to enter a whole meeting just using the keyboard. This makes using the app very fast because there's no need to reach the mouse every time the user wants to add a new entry.

The interface is complete and flexible: a user can show only the sections they need, on a meeting-per-meeting basis to tailor the experience of using Meetings. Different users need different sets of sections, so for example, a freelancer annotating a call with a client with Meetings can hide the Agenda section and show the Decisions and Tasks sections.

One key feature of Meetings is the free Meetings Cloud sync. It does not require any setting from the user, it just works. Any changes made on the Mac are automatically pushed to the iPhone and vice versa.

Meetings Cloud sync is also very helpful when a user buys a new Mac, a new iPhone, or in case the user has multiple devices. Simply by signing in, all meetings are synced from Meetings Cloud and the user can start working on the new device immediately.

Meetings data are encrypted with a secure 256-bit algorithm directly on the user's Mac or iPhone, before they hit the Internet. They are synced via an HTTPS connection to the Cloud, and the data is sent and stored already encrypted. Meetings Cloud never receives Meetings data in a readable form, it is encrypted on user's device first.

Pricing and Availability:
Meetings for Mac is available on the Mac App Store for a limited time for $19.99 (USD). A 30-day free trial is also available for download on Command Guru website. Meetings for iPhone is available on the iTunes App Store for a limited time for $4.99. A Press Kit and additional information about Meetings and Command Guru are available on the Command Guru website.

Platforming Arcade Action Heats Up on iOS with Mega Dragon Run! - Published on 02/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Israel based GAME by Human G&A today announced the release of Mega Dragon Run 1.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch. Mega Dragon Run is a new survival arcade/ platform game that challenges players to collect coins while dodging, crushing, or burning up any and all enemies in their path for as long as they can! The game allows users to compete with Facebook friends and players from all over the world via tournaments, race for leaderboard domination, and unlock dozens of unique achievements.

Israel - GAME by HUMAN G&A, a newly emerging mobile game development studio, is excited today to announce the launch of Mega Dragon Run 1.0 onto the App Store. Compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch this arcade survival gaming rush flips the script, putting players behind the reigns of a dragon and challenging them to snatch up as many coins as they can while dodging, crushing, or burning up any and all caveman baddies standing in their way! A social experience at its core, Mega Dragon Run lets players compete head to head with Facebook friends and other players from all over the world via timed tournaments and race for domination on the game's interactive leaderboards! Featuring addictingly dynamic gameplay and enough achievements and extras to keep players entertained hour after hour Mega Dragon Run is currently available for download on the App Store for free in the Games category.

Points and distance are the name of the game in Mega Dragon Run, and gameplay is refreshingly straightforward. Players simply pick their game mode - Arcade, Quickplay, or Timed Multiplayer tournament - chose a dragon, any power-ups they want to use, and they're off! Set in a vibrantly colorful stylized world that's at once prehistoric and tech infused, the game takes care of moving players forward. All they need to do is jump or fly from platform to platform catching as many coins as they can while either avoiding or demolishing the cavemen in their path. There's a twist though - although gamers can breathe fireballs to kill enemies (as any dragon worth their salt would), they can't fly forever. The only way to recharge their fly-meter is to run on platforms or bounce on caveman's heads. To boot, they only have 3 lives to spare in single-player modes. Hit too many obstacles or bad guys and its game over so the only question is how long they'll be able to last!

A vast digital gaming distraction, Mega Dragon Run's three unique game modes each offer gamers a different experience. Meanwhile Facebook integration enables players to connect with friends, compete for supremacy via leaderboards, and race for points head to head! Global leaderboards and multiplayer matches against random opponents are available as well. The game also boasts 24 unlockable achievements to keep players motivated to keep playing and getting better, while an in-depth game store lets them buy upgrades and new dragons. The "I want it now" crowd can purchase coins and unlock new characters via in-app purchase instantly as well. Mega Dragon Run is the cure for boredom and downtime on iOS, is get ready to feel the burn and jump into the fun.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Mega Dragon Run 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

This interactive storybook app, geared to third- through sixth-graders, is written in second person and lets the user choose how the action unfolds at critical points in the plot. Recognized for its appeal to reluctant readers, Brush of Truth was created by Story Bayou, a mom's vision to get kids to read.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Brush of Truth, an award-winning book app for kids 8-12, will be on sale for 99 cents on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch March 1-8 in honor of National Reading Month and Read Across America Day. Brush of Truth, recognized for its appeal to reluctant readers, was created by Story Bayou, a mom's vision to get kids to read.

The interactive storybook app, geared to third- through sixth-graders, is written in second person and lets the user choose how the action unfolds at critical points in the plot. Brush of Truth has 125 pages of story and colorful illustrations, with 65 decision points and 20 possible endings. The app is regularly priced at $1.99 and is also available on Kindle Fire and Android.

Brush of Truth was named 2012 Media of the Year in Interactive Book Apps by Creative Child Magazine. The app was named a "Recommended iPad Book App for Older and Reluctant Readers Ages 8-12" by Digital Storytime, and one of "6 Interactive Book Apps to Get Kids Excited About Reading" by Tecca. Brush of Truth was rated five stars by Technology in Education, a children's tech review site.

"Kids love the interactive nature of a book app. It engages them in the story and keeps them reading longer. That was my goal with Brush of Truth, to get kids reading using the technology they love," said Julie Landry Laviolette, author of Brush of Truth and a mom of two. "We discounted it half-price in honor of National Reading Month, to give more kids access to an innovative way to read."

Brush of Truth tells the story of two tweens who find an enchanted paintbrush. They begin to discover its powers as they go in adventures under the ocean, inside a sand castle, and while rescuing a sea creature. Teachers can access free Common Core-aligned lesson plans to go with the app on the Story Bayou website.

The National Education Association annually recognizes March as National Reading Month. On March 1, the organization will celebrate its 16th Annual Read Across America Day, a nationwide program to help children discover the joy of reading. It is expected to draw more than 45 million participants.

Julie Landry Laviolette, founder of Story Bayou, is a parenting journalist and New Orleans native. A former columnist and editor for The Times-Picayune, she currently lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fl., where she contributes to The Miami Herald, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, South Florida Parenting and more than 30 regional parenting publications in the U.S. and Canada. Story Bayou, founded in 2011, partnered with Linxter, Inc., a Cooper City software engineering company, to create the mobile app. Brush of Truth was released in February 2012.

Join Little Polar Bear on His Discovery Adventure - Published on 02/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NorthSouth Books announces the upcoming release of its new animated children's book, Little Polar Bear, written and illustrated by Hans de Beer. Little Polar Bear, set for release on March 7, will be available in freemium and full-paid versions on iOS and Amazon Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD from iTunes and the Amazon Marketplace. Little Polar Bear tells the story of Lars, a polar bear who has never known anything other than his natural habitat of snow and ice, who heads off on an adventure.

Bern, Switzerland - NorthSouth Books is delighted to announce the upcoming release of its new animated children's book, Little Polar Bear, written and illustrated by the award winning author Hans de Beer. Little Polar Bear is set for release on March 7, and will be available in freemium and full-paid versions on iOS and Amazon Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD devices from iTunes and the Amazon Marketplace.

The full version of Little Polar Bear is available at $3.99 USD from Amazon, while there are various options for downloading additional book pages and fun games from $1.99 via iTunes, although all content can be accessed at the same price as Amazon if purchased together.

Journalists wishing to download a pre-release version of Little Polar Bear can request a promo code from appromoter online or by emailing codes@appromoter.com. This animated edition of Little Polar Bear is based on the critically acclaimed book series of the same name, which originally saw eight titles released from 1987 - 2001 and has enjoyed global sales of over 10 million copies in 26 languages.

The global success of the Little Polar Bear book franchise has translated across to other platforms, too, with a hit television series, seven computer games, and a musical inspired by de Beer's work. 2001 and 2005 saw the release of two films based on the story, after the Warner Bros. film studios acquired the adaptation rights to Little Polar Bear. Even some postage stamps in Germany and Switzerland carry images of Lars, the Little Polar Bear.

Little Polar Bear tells the story of Lars, a polar bear who has never known anything other than his natural habitat of snow and ice. Children join Lars as he heads off on an adventure to places he never knew existed, from lush rainforests to deserted islands. Gameplay seamlessly integrates into the story itself, with three mini-games allowing the reader to help Lars avoid icy obstacles, soar high in the sky with an eagle, and swim the seas with whales on his journey as he attempts to get home to his Father.

Little Polar Bear is read by a narrator, however children have the option of showing the text at the foot of the screen, allowing them to follow the story as it is being read. This allows Little Polar Bear to double as a helpful tool for developing literacy skills as well as being an entertaining story.

Whether used as a bedtime story, an entertainment platform, or for teaching a child how to read and speak, Little Polar Bear is set to become a hit with parents and children around the world.

About Hans de Beer:
Hans de Beer is the author of the globally successful 'Little Polar Bear' series, as well as many other popular books for children.

About the development:
The Little Polar Bear app was designed and programmed by Andreas von Lepel, the award-winning ("Indie Prize Europe 2013") creator of Freeze!, a highly successful puzzle game for iOS and Android that ranked #1 in 36 countries in the Games category on the Apple App Store.

New Vault App Allows You to Encrypt Your Photos and Videos for Free - Published on 02/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yappco Ltd. introduces Vault 1.0 for iOS, an app that allows users to store video and photos on an iPhone or iPad in a secure encrypted format. In addition to the passcode on the device, in order to access Vault, users are required to create and input a five-digit code. Without the code the photos and videos remain encrypted and secure. Vault allows users to import media files from cloud sources such as Dropbox, and allows access to the user's camera, camera roll, photo stream, and more.

London, United Kingdom - Yappco Ltd. introduces Vault 1.0 for iOS, an app that allows users to store video and photos on an iPhone or iPad in a secure encrypted format. In addition to the passcode on your device, there is a further security gate to go through. In order to access your Vault, you are required to create and input a five-digit code.

Without the code the photos and videos remain encrypted and secure. Should someone gain unapproved access to your iPhone or iPad, say for instance if your passcode lock was set to automatically come on after ten minutes and you are away from your device before that time, you can rest assured that your photos and videos are protected by a 256bit key. Without the five digit secondary passcode your media files remain encrypted. So only you can access them.

Vault allows you to import media files from other cloud sources such as Dropbox. You can also allow access to your camera, camera roll, photo stream, and iTunes sync. For enhanced security the media files are never actually wholly decrypted to your device, only the data required for display at that particular time, after which it remains encrypted and locked in your Vault.

Arkadiusz Mlynarczyk the creator of Vault said, "Vault will be an essential app for professional and amateur photographers alike. I am extremely excited about the launch of this app and have had a lot of encouraging feedback from the beta trial, which has been integrated into the launch version." When asked what the unique features of the Vault were, he said, "Vault is an easy to use secure premium photo storage app for all and most importantly - it's Free!"

With Vault you can organize photos, so that they are displayed in albums making them easier to categorize. There are two promotional videos and press pack provided for your convenience.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer, Rutabaga Boy, is introduces Attention: Pay It! 1.0, a Universal action-puzzle-memory game for iOS. Attention: Pay It! is a fast paced multi-touch experience that tests the ability to multitask. The best time wins, and with up to 8 puzzles on the screen at once, it's a workout for the fingers and the mind. Instead of one mechanic, the game builds and builds over the course of 48 levels into one of the most challenging high speed action games around.

San Francisco, California - Indie developer, Rutabaga Boy, is introduces Attention: Pay It! 1.0, a Universal action-puzzle-memory game for iOS. Attention: Pay It! is a fast paced multi-touch experience that tests the ability to multitask. The best time wins, and with up to 8 puzzles on the screen at once, it's a workout for the fingers and the mind.

While most games shy away from difficulty, complication, and confusion, this game embraces it. If people are tired of seeing the same old simple, one touch games at the top of the App Store, they'll flock to this game. This is a game with a high skill cap and a lot of fun getting there.

Instead of one mechanic, it builds and builds over the course of 48 levels into one of the most challenging high speed action games around. A new variation on each puzzle is introduced every other level promoting brain plasticity and other brainy buzz words.

The longevity of the game will come after players complete the single player, when head-to-head competition and sharing newly generated levels to challenge friends becomes the real driver of content. Along with two endless modes, this game invites people to become great at it and compare themselves to their friends and the world.

Forget the tired match three formula that pervades the App Store. This game isn't easy, it doesn't have pointless missions, and it doesn't ask for more than $0.99 USD! Finally a fun Brain Game!

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
* 42.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Attention: Pay It! 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
