Houston, Texas - Lightsphere LLC today is pleased to introduce "idev101: Fonts, Colors & UI Sizes", a quick reference app for iOS developers. It's packed with useful tools and info, including a font list, type tester, a color picker and converter, a list of screen sizes, keyboard sizes, icon sizes, sample code, app design templates, and more.

The Fonts section includes the complete list of all the fonts on iOS, and a type tester that shows a preview of text in that font. The type tester also displays the line height and frame size of the sample text, plus the actual font name to use in UIFont declarations. Additional sample code shows users how to specify a font for a label or text field, how to use system fonts, how to get the size of a string in a particular font, and how to use custom fonts in an app.

This action-packed mobile game features stunning 3D graphics, bite size gameplay, simple touchscreen controls, and a kicking soundtrack by DJ Poet, Super Producer and DJ for the Black Eyed Peas.

The Jump: Escape The City challenges mobile gamers to survive a high-speed chase to the edge of Monopolis, a city where fun is outlawed and your party just got busted. Players take control of a high-powered hover car, headed for city limits on a hunch. Some people say there's a way to escape if you can collect enough power and reach the end of the road...

An escape can be completed in less than 5 minutes, but no two games are the same, and there's more to The Jump than meets the eye. Players can super-charge each game with awesome power ups and the more you play, the more you earn. The game features intelligent scoring, national and world leader boards, achievements badges awarded for completing crazy in-game challenges, and social sharing.

The game was designed and produced in Dublin, Ireland by Gone Gaming in conjunction with Swedish developers Raven AB.

"The Jump is made by gamers, for gamers. It's not another endless runner. It's fun, fast and a real challenge for casual and hardcore players alike." - Karl Hutson, Gone Gaming COO

With thanks to Listen Deep Records, the game's soundtrack features 3 tracks from DJ Poet: Skeleton, Rapture and Digital. Player's choose their song and character at the start of each game, with each track producing its own climactic ending. Music is available for download via in-game links.

"I love mobile games, we play them all the time on tour and in studio so I was pumped when I was asked to do the soundtrack for The Jump", says DJ Poet. "My music really suits the fast pace of the game and anything that supports fun, I'm in! Let's go, let's escape the city!!"

Location-Based Photo Album App Swemos Enhances Usability with New Update - Published on 03/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Austin based Indie developer, Develosophy today announces Swemos 1.1, an update to their popular location-based photo journal app for iOS devices. Perfect for vacations, weddings, family events, and more, Swemos allows anyone to easily create and customize photo albums by turning their favorite photos into personal anecdotes that can be shared with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, email, text or Bluetooth. Version 1.1 includes user interface improvements, bug fixes and iPad support.

Austin, Texas - Indie developer Develosophy is pleased to announce today's release of Swemos version 1.1 with user interface improvements, bug fixes and iPad support to the App Store. Swemos is a location-based photo journal app that allows people to easily create and customize photo albums by turning their favorite photos into personal anecdotes that can be shared with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, email, text or Bluetooth.

The proliferation of smartphones has made it incredibly easy for mobile users to capture seemingly infinite amounts of photos and videos, but it has also left users to deal with massive unorganized media archives stored on their devices. When photo-taking mobile users need to locate one specific photo, or find photos taken at a given event, it can be difficult. Swemos, shorthand for "sweet moments", was created to help people remember the special occasions in their lives. Favorite photos can be titled & captioned to make personal anecdotes bundled into albums. Swemos is perfect for creating and sharing photo albums of trips, weddings, family time, or everyday moments that shouldn't be forgotten.

"Swemos originated as a timesaving, attractive and independent way to keep track of and share your favorite experiences with friends and family," said Tom Knoflook, founder of Develosophy and Swemos.

Photo albums in Swemos are completely customizable. Users create as many albums as they'd like from their favorite photos and can make every album unique with their choice of 60 stunning covers and 30 stylish paper backgrounds. Swemos users can use any of the iPhone or iPad's available fonts when customizing their albums. A personalized title and caption can be added to each photo to make a unique and memorable anecdote (a 'swemo'). Each swemo can be shared with title, photo, caption, timestamp and location. Albums created can easily be copied from users' devices to be backed up or shared on other devices.

On import, Swemos automatically detects when and where photos were taken. Thumbnails of photos are saved instantly after importing and can be viewed on a map to allow users to recall their special moments and remind them of places they've visited. Locations of photos can be easily adjusted by dragging them on the map. No internet connection is required when composing anecdotes, so users are conveniently able to create and organize their albums offline and share their swemos when they are connected again.

Swemos Features:
* Create Photo Journals - Collect favorite photos in beautiful albums
* Make Sweet Memories - Perfect for vacations, weddings, family events, and more
* Personalize Easily - Choose from a variety of stylish covers and papers
* Make Many Albums - Unleash creativity and use any number of photos
* Send and Share - Show photo moments to friends by email, Facebook, Twitter, or Bluetooth

Version 1.1 Updated Features:
* User Interface Improvements
* Bug Fix for Expired Session in Facebook
* Japanese and Simplified Chinese Language Support
* iPad Support

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 4, 4S, 5, iPod touch
* iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad, iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iPad, iPad Wi-Fi + Cellula
* iPad mini and iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 50.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Swemos Version 1.1 is offered at an introductory price of $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Swemos, Develosophy's first release, was developed in 2012 by programmer, wanderer and photographer, Tom Knoflook. The photo journal app 'Swemos'(derived from 'sweet memories') was created to allow friends and family to create, organize and share memories through beautifully customizable and easily shareable photo albums.

Life/Moral Inventory Using iPad/iPhone - 5 Stars - Complex and Amazing - Published on 03/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing. The iPad and iPhone versions are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Life (Moral) Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better quality of life. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing. The iPad and iPhone versions are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, another term for Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better quality of life. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

The following 5 star review was recently received for the Life Inventory for iPad app:

Complex and Amazing! Well worth the $$ - by Alpine Eddy

"I have put a number of hours of work into using this app and can now say that I love it. At first, the interface was overwhelming. I had trouble getting my head around all the categories and how they fit together. The user has to understand that what has been done here is taking an idea that was once clumsily used as a spreadsheet and transformed it into a true database application. Once I read all of the directions and dove in, it became clearer. I believe the developer has made an amazing product that covers most anyone's needs to do a complete and thorough 4th and 5th step. I have hundreds of entries and being able to sort and search at a glance is not only wonderful, it really allows you to get more out of the process than writing it all on paper would. Privacy is a big concern for me and I feel that it is well addressed here. If you're doing your 4th step right, it will take some time. The backup and privacy features allow me to be completely honest.

"Try that with paper. If you don't like it, try getting someone to design a custom database for you that allows the end user to further customize for under $10."

Both the iPad and iPhone/iPod touch versions accomplish exactly the same thing, only the interface is considerably different for each because of the significant differences in screen size.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened." James Hollender is also the author of a suite of Nutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database:

* iCarbs (Carbohydrates)
* iCholesterol (Dietary Cholesterol)
* iFiber (Fiber)
* iKals (Calories)
* iProteins (Proteins)
* iSatFat (Saturated Fat)
* iSodium (Sodium)
* iSugars (Sugars)
* Vitamin K (Vitamins K1, K1D & K2)

Just recently released is the iNutrients app, featured at MacWorld, which provides an easy way for users to record and track what they eat and be provided with information for 10 nutrients, the same nine listed above plus Potassium. Built right into the app is the entire USDA National Nutrient Database for all 10 nutrients. No Internet access is required so the searches are lightning fast. Privacy of the user's information is important so all data is kept on the device. The iNutrients app, and all the other nutrient apps, are universal apps which work on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices.

Device Requirements:
* "Life Inventory" - iPhone and iPod touch
* "Life Inventory for iPad" - iPad only
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later

Wronghut announces release date for Mazement - Published on 03/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wronghut today announces the release date of its new Mazement mobile game for iOS. Mazement is a ball rolling game that combines an epic fantasy story with the traditional wooden labyrinth and platformer games. The game has great 3D graphics, interesting physics and a destructible environment. You control the tilt of the playing field to guide the ball safely through increasingly difficult 3D levels. Mazement will be available worldwide on Apple App Store on April 4th.

Tampere, Finland - Wronghut is proud to announce today the release date of its new Mazement mobile game. The game will be available worldwide on Apple App Store on April 4th with price of $1.99 (USD). Mazement is a ball rolling game that combines an epic fantasy story with the traditional wooden labyrinth and platformer games. The game has great 3D graphics, interesting physics and a destructible environment. You control the tilt of the playing field to guide the ball safely through increasingly difficult 3D levels.

It is an amazingly fun platformer puzzle game, filled with challenging mazes, traps and enemies. Blast your way through walls! Hop over obstacles using Big Jump! Watch out for the evil Jailer and the mysterious Witch! Find your way out of the tower and set your ball friends free! Will you be able to finish the last levels with a 5-star rating and beat the boss enemies?

"Mazement really brings something new for ball rolling games, some of which are the tilting of the level instead of ball control, a destructible environment, and a story. The control is really accurate and fun to play, and the story really makes you feel you are playing in another world. We have really achieved awesome graphics merged with accurate gameplay to maximize the fun factor!", says Jukka Mikkonen, the game designer from Wronghut.

Mazement will become available on other mobile platforms later this year. The iOS version will work from iPhone 4S onwards, and on the new iPad. We hope to optimize the game further to bring it to new platforms in the very near future. For more information and promo code requests, please contact Jukka Mikkonen, CEO, Wronghut: 358-440279050
