Bubble Browser 2.0 premieres for OS X - Dedicated Browser for Evernote - Published on 03/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Macoscope today announces Bubble Browser 2.0, an update to their popular Evernote dedicated notes browser application. Bubble Browser reuses well-known web browser conventions and allows to explore and visualize the structure of the users entire Evernote data. By providing a friendly, graphic desktop for Evernote notes, tags, notebooks and dates are presented as colorful and differently sized bubbles to expose most important piece of information in every given context.

Warsaw, Poland - Macoscope today is pleased to announce the release of Bubble Browser 2.0, an update to their popular Evernote dedicated notes browser application. Bubble Browser has started as an entry for the Evernote Devcup '12 and was a prototype for experimenting with new ways of exploring information. By presenting your data in an aesthetic, more natural and approachable way, Bubble Browser addressed the challenge of dealing with constantly increasing amounts of consumed information. After the initial release, we have collected enormous amount of user feedback which shaped the second version of the application.

Bubble Browser is a visual metaphor for browsing and searching your data. Application reuses well-known web browser conventions and allows to explore and visualize the structure of user's entire Evernote data. Bubble Browser provides a friendly, graphic desktop for Evernote notes' library. Tags, notebooks and dates are presented as colorful and differently sized bubbles to expose most important piece of information in every given context.

"While classic notes exploration is like looking into the grocery store through a mail slot to see what you need, Bubble Browser brings you right into the shopping mall to see what's on the shelf." commented one of the app's early adopters.

There were many ideas behind implementing this approach in Bubble Browser, these are the most appealing ones:
* Visual data representation: it allows faster information consumption. Presenting data sets as shapes is more natural than dealing with raw numbers
* Fun search methods: traditional data exploration methods are dull and might be ineffective. Delivering results in a visual way yields far more interesting and gratifying outcomes
* Self-exploration: ability to discover your own patterns related to processes of information storing and memorization
* Immediate access to your data: ability to quickly filter your information by intersecting tags, notebooks and dates criteria
* Focus on a particular information: allowing you to see your data in a specific context, which may reveal new relationships between your notes and tags

Highlights of Bubble Browser 2.0:
* Fast background sync - synchronizing data with Evernote does not interfere with regular application use - it is especially convenient when dealing with large data sets
* Advanced searching - combine the results of the powerful Evernote search with local results into one picture
* Perspective switching - easy way to change and mix filtering criteria
* Type ahead suggestions - type less to get more relevant results
* Redesigned interface - better, polished and more enjoyable

Language Support:
* U.S. English

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
* 64-bit processor
* 35.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Bubble Browser 2.0 is free and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Productivity category.

Soluble Apps announces FAQ- Markdown Email Composer, a new edition of their unique FAQ app for mobile customer service that includes support for the rapidly-growing Markdown language. FAQ serves to solve the problem of handling customer support email. With FAQ, customer replies can be combined with loads of opening and closing phrases to perfectly reflect the tone of your customer's query. Just make the appropriate selections, and the perfect reply email is instantly created for you.

Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom - Soluble Apps announces FAQ- Markdown Email Composer, a new edition of their unique FAQ app for mobile customer service that includes support for the rapidly-growing Markdown language. This special version of our FAQ app supports the increasingly-popular Markdown text markup notation, allowing formatted text, lists, code samples and embedded weblinks in your emails.

FAQ is a unique app that stores all the bits of text and images you use most often in your email- opening phrases, answers to the questions you get asked most often, and closing phrases, along with any images and diagrams you may need. This allows you to create the perfect email in reply to a common question in just a few seconds- ideal for customer support, or handling questions from students or group members.

The new version interprets all Markdown formatting found in your text, and includes the ability to easily preview how your marked-up text will look.

This new Markdown edition allows us to use formatted text and step-by-step lists easily in our text."

New Reminder+ App to Delight Productivity Addicts and Absentminded Alike - Published on 03/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The developers of AroundMe, the most widely used location app of its kind, today rolled out Reminder+, a brand new iPhone app (iOS 6.0 and higher) that combines the power of the location-based AroundMe database with time- and task-synced alerts. Designed to make the most out of precious time and energy, Reminder+ 1.0 lets users set reminders, create to-do lists and designate tasks based on location, date and time or a countdown with a few simple taps.

Ivrea, Italy - The developers of AroundMe, the most widely used location app of its kind, today rolled out Reminder+, a brand new iPhone app (iOS 6.0 and higher) that combines the power of the location-based AroundMe database with time- and task-synced alerts. Designed to make the most out of precious time and energy, Reminder+ 1.0 lets users set reminders, create to-do lists and designate tasks based on location, date and time or a countdown with a few simple taps. Reminder+ sounds an alert when close to the location or time, displaying the task in detail.

"I have a tendency to always forget to buy certain things. I would arrive home only to realize I forgot the one thing I went out to buy in the first place," recalls Marco Pifferi, creator of Reminder+. "I became obsessed with the idea of making an app that would help rid me of this frustrating problem. I wanted to leverage the location database employed by AroundMe, which helps more than six million users find the perfect place to go every month. Reminder+ truly simplifies our lives by reminding us the right thing, at exactly the right place and the right time."

Employing AroundMe's extensive location database, users can add custom locations, such as their neighborhood dry cleaner or veterinarian, and then set reminders any time they arrive or depart a specific location. On your last clean suit, yet keep forgetting to pick up your laundry, no matter how many times you pass the dry cleaner? Come and go through the drug store then arrive home only to realize you forgot a birthday card for your mom? Thanks to Reminder+, these common tendencies ailing even the best of us are no longer a reality. Simply set it and you won't forget it.

Reminding You Why You Need Reminder+:
* Location-based Reminders -
Set reminders for the moment you arrive or depart a specific location...or both, just in case! Reminder+ will alert you what you need to do at just the right moment, so you'll never arrive home again without completing that very important task. Save specific locations like the office, doctor's office, or local grocer for easy access in the future.

* Alarm Reminders -
Are tickets for your favorite band's reunion tour going on sale at a very specific time? Don't miss out - simply set up an alarm and Reminder+ will let you know when it's time to hop in the virtual ticket line. Always forget to take your vitamins in the morning? Set a recurring alarm and you'll be on your way to perfect health in no time.

* Timer Reminders -
Set a countdown reminder for all of those very time-specific tasks that take up your daily life. Do you prefer your tea perfectly brewed for exactly four minutes? Reminder+ will let you know when it's ready, so your tea will never be cold again. Then, save favorite countdown timers to easily reuse them any time you need.

* Sharing Reminders -
We all have forgetful friends. This one's for them. Whenever you need to remind a friend, family member or significant other of something important, simply send them a reminder alert and let Reminder+ take care of them. Don't let your absentminded-yet-lovable brother forget your mom's birthday again!

Download the Reminder+ Press Kit. Members of the media are invited to review Reminder+.

Language Support:
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish

New Little Critter Apps Launch Today From Silver Dolphin Books - Published on 03/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mercer Mayer's beloved character stars in The Trip - Little Critter Reading Adventure 1.0 and Gamepak apps, available from Silver Dolphin Books. The interactive apps provide hours of entertainment and impart early reading, math and creative problem-solving skills. The Trip - Little Critter Reading Adventure app is based on Mercer Mayer's classic book of the same name and features his incredible original artwork. The complementary Gamepack app includes over 50 fun and engaging activities.

San Diego, California - Author Mercer Mayer's beloved character Little Critter stars in a new fun-filled interactive escapade for young children, The Trip - Little Critter Reading Adventure 1.0. The new app is supported by the simultaneous release of The Trip - Little Critter GamePak. Both apps launched today for the iOS, Android, Nook and Kindle platforms from Silver Dolphin Books, a multiple award-winning publisher in the field of educational, novelty and activity books for children and young readers.

The Trip - Little Critter Reading Adventure app ($3.99 USD) is based on Mercer Mayer's classic book of the same name and features his incredible original artwork. A free LITE version of this app is also currently available for the Android, Nook and Kindle platforms, with an iOS version to debut soon. The complementary app, The Trip - Little Critter GamePak ($3.99), includes over 50 fun and engaging activities featuring Little Critter, and introduces the Company's new Digistix - interactive, animated stickers with fun sound effects. Appy Award-winner John R. Sansevere (Little Critter: Where is My Frog) is the producer of both apps.

The Trip - Little Critter Reading Adventure invites children to travel along with Little Critter and his family on an action-packed road trip. Kids can help Little Critter choose the route the family will take to explore the countryside, the city, the beach and more; fix the car when it breaks down; move a horse stuck in the middle of the road; feed the seagulls; and even find time to grab a hot dog. All this while playing lots of games with Little Sister along the way to pass the time! Recommended for ages three to seven, the app emphasizes basic pre-school and early elementary curriculum and incorporates an inventory collection and selection feature designed to build critical problem-solving skills; alphabet flashcards hidden on every screen teach and reinforce letter recognition; and successful completion of six puzzles - including sequence and matching games - unlock six collectible gems used to play an arcade-style game. Other features include text highlighting, visual
interactive item clues and professional audio narration and dramatization, which all help to keep non-readers engaged with the story.

"All of us at Silver Dolphin Books are very enthusiastic about the launch of our first children's apps in conjunction with one of the world's most talented children's authors and illustrators, Mercer Mayer," said Jon I. Rosenberg, VP and Publisher of Silver Dolphin Books. "The beloved characters, gentle humor, and solid family values emphasized in Mercer's Little Critter book series remain the same, and now kids can extend that book experience by engaging with the characters and story in ways that they could not have before."

"Silver Dolphin Books and producer John Sansevere have delivered an amazing extension of my original book," added Mercer Mayer. "The storytelling and interactivity have exceeded my expectations, and the level of engagement between Little Critter and today's young readers is all very exciting."

Available simultaneously is The Trip - Little Critter GamePak, an extension of the Reading Adventure app. Divided into two sections, the GamePak includes five game themes including Dot-to-Dot, Mazes, Matching Pictures and Words and How Many? In the Digistix section, over 175 digital stickers are available across five game themes inspiring the imagination and fostering creativity. In two special beach and camp activities, Digistix stickers that are tapped, dragged and dropped into the scenes react differently depending on where they are placed, enabling kids to create a new adventure every time. Featuring helpful words of encouragement from Little Critter throughout, The Trip - Little Critter GamePak, is regularly priced at $3.99, but will be available for the first 30 days after release for $2.99.
