Digiback 2.0: iOS's Premier Photo Capturing Application - Double Trouble - Published on 03/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer, Brett Spurrier today announces Digiback 2.0, an update to his fun-to-use photography app for iOS. Digiback gives anyone the ability to combine filters to create unique photo effects at full-resolution. Users can easily create, save and use their own custom photo filters by mixing and matching the app's numerous base filters. While still maintaining a novel way to create and use peronalized photo filters, with version 2.0 users can post photos to Google+, Flickr, and Instagram.

New York, New York - Independent mobile app developer, Brett Spurrier today is proud to announce the release of Digiback 2.0, an update to his fun-to-use photography app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Digiback offers an intuitive way to create and use custom photo filters on mobile devices. The app gives users the ability to combine filters for unique effects. The app, which takes full-resolution photos, gives people the ability create, save and use their own custom filters by mixing and matching the app's numerous base filters.

After only a few short weeks from its initial release, Digiback 2.0 offers an array of new - and useful - features over its predecessor. Introducing features such as posting images to Google+, Flickr, and Instagram. Users can also now load images from Facebook, Instagram and Flickr right into the app itself, and apply their personal designed custom filters to those photos.

"I am very excited to unveil these additional features for Digiback. The success of v1.0 gave us tremendous feedback which we have included in v2.0" said Spurrier. "While there are other apps out there that offer filters, this app is about exploring the different possibilities provided by combining filters for a unique photo-taking experience. None of those apps integrate social networks with quite the same non-intrusive pizazz as Digiback."

Digiback is different than other photo filter apps in that rather than providing a small number of predefined filters, it gives users hundreds of options that they can create based off a combination of base filters offered by the app. Version 2.0 greatly increases the feasibility of its Photo Tracking, which tracks whenever photos are liked, retweeted or shared on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, G and other social media platforms. This provides a critical link between Digiback and a user's other social media activities.

Among the base filters the app offers are sepia tone, cartoon, color invert, sketching, selective blur, pixelate and numerous others. All of these filters can be combined to create truly unique photos. The Digiback Cloud Community also allows users to browse and download custom filters created by others through an easy-to-use interface.

"Digiback has been designed to be completely interactive so that you can share your photos on the social media platform of your choice, as well as learn from the filter combinations of others," Spurrier said. "This program builds on what has been established with other filter apps, but it takes things to a completely new level."

The Digiback is free to download at the App Store, although some base filters require unlocking via in-app purchases. However, it is completely possible for users to experience the wide range of features available through the app without ever making a purchase. Digiback Pro is available to download from the App Store for $1.99 (USD). Digiback Pro has all the filters unlocked.

12-Steppers: Problems Starting Moral Inventory? There's an App for That - Published on 03/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender has two apps to help 12-Steppers do their Moral Inventory, one for iPad and another for iPhone or iPod touch. The Life Inventory apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing. These apps guide users in creating their own 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.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender has two apps to help 12-Steppers do their Moral Inventory, one for iPad and another for iPhone or iPod touch. The Life Inventory apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing. These apps 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

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory and Life Inventory for iPad are each $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of each app is $1.99, which supplement the main app by providing a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation. Review copies are available on request.

Popular musical game Duck & Roll - Downloaded 200,000 times in one week - Published on 03/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Everyone loves rock and roll. The glamor, the prestige, and of course the rockin' music. But how about ducks? Do feathers give you that warm, fuzzy feeling? If you're a fan of both, you'll love Duck & Roll 1.12 from Wild Factor, an update to their popular rhythm game developed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It's all about the rhythm, tapping, and the occasional quacking! Now Free with 3 new songs, this hugely popular game has generated more than 200,000 downloads in its first week.

Paris, France - Wild Factor is pleased to announce the release of Duck & Roll 1.12, an update to their popular rhythm game developed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Now Free with 3 new songs, Duck & Roll tells the story of an ugly duckling with a hankering for rock and roll music. This hugely popular iPhone and iPad app has generated more than 200,000 downloads in its first week.

In Duck & Roll, players don the webbed-feet of a misunderstood duck - raised in a family that appreciates only classical music. Disgruntled by their music choices, the friendly-feathered friend Jeff "The Odd Duck" Duck runs away from home to find his place among the rock-and-roll crowd. Players get to help Jeff worm his way to the rock-and-roll dream, and play some awesome rock music in the meantime.

Duck & Roll users must tap rhythmically through this game on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Players can earn achievements for their rad rhythmic skills or play against your friends to see who is truly the king or queen of rock. A cool bonus feature of Duck & Roll is that players can even save their games on the iCloud and continue their game from any of their iOS devices!

3 songs has been added in this new version:
* Saints of Silence - Too late
* Saints of Silence - WillFully Blind
* Saints of Silence - Hungry

This is game is fun to play and hilarious to watch, and app critics and reviewers are catching wind of this awesome free app.

Kotaku : "It's a rather nifty little game, if you're into 90's alternative duck rock. There are three difficulty levels to challenge even the nimblest fingers, and more levels on the way, giving fans a chance to chart the further career of Jeff."

IGN: "Cartoon mallards match up with rock & roll music to create an intriguing rhythm action game, available free right now."

Cult for Mac said, "The music is fairly generic, but it doesn't matter. The rock is competent enough to keep tapping through, and the changing mechanics-tap and slide, swipe through, tap super fast in rhythm, is engaging enough to play through the free levels. There are three additional other songs available for $0.99 cents each, or $1.99 for the entire three pack of add-on songs.
It's fun, works on iPhone and iPad, is worth a quick download for free, and has extra stuff you can toss money at if you really like it. What's not to duck, er, dig?"

Duck & Roll is a fun app for all ages. As Smart Apps so cleverly said, "I could ramble on about how this app can help with a child's hand-eye coordination, rhythm etc etc but the bottom line is that it's just plain fun!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 50.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Duck & Roll 1.12 is now Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Today, hundreds of new options are available, and leading independent Apple publication iLounge has launched the iPad + iPad mini Buyers' Guide to cover the best of them. The guide offers a comprehensive look at new Lightning, Bluetooth, and iPad mini accessories, plus great apps, and expert tips.

Irvine, California - After Apple's surprising late 2012 replacement of the iPad with Retina Display, accessory and app makers scrambled to release products for the new fourth-generation iPad and iPad mini.

Since a substantially redesigned full-sized iPad is expected later this year, iLounge strongly recommends cautious purchasing, while spotlighting many great products guaranteed to work with any iPad readers may own.

"This is definitely a time of transition for Apple," explained Jeremy Horwitz, Editor of iLounge and its Buyers' Guides, "but the iPad mini and latest iPad are impressive products, as are many of the accessories, apps, and games we've selected for the iPad + iPad mini Buyers Guide. iLounge's editors have spent untold hours hunting down and testing new releases from across the globe, and this Guide shows you the best of them - in a single download."

Further, thanks to iLounge's independence from Apple, the Guide includes both Apple-authorized and unauthorized accessories, ranging from low-cost batteries and cables to high-end speakers and earphones.

"That's why our multi-million-downloaded Buyers' Guides are renowned for their objectivity and insight. We are proud to offer the iPad + iPad mini Buyers' Guide in the universally-accessible PDF format, readable on everything from computers to tablets, smartphones, and iPod touches, at no cost to iLounge readers."

PlayScreen launches the Word Carnivale Contest between rival schools - Published on 03/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile game developer, PlayScreen launches a Word Carnivale Contest between rivals Loyola University Maryland and John Hopkins University. In Word Carnivale, players are pitted against their friends in a "best of three" contest to form words within the allotted time. Players will compete for individual prizes and bragging rights for the winning school. The contest runs from 3/25-4/25, concluding the day after these two schools meet in Men's Lacrosse.

Baltimore, Maryland - Let the Games Begin! Social/mobile game developer, PlayScreen, is launching a Word Carnivale Contest between rivals Loyola University Maryland and John Hopkins University. Players will compete for individual prizes and bragging rights for the winning school. The contest runs from 3/25-4/25, concluding the day after these two schools meet in Men's Lacrosse.

In Word Carnivale, players are pitted against their friends in a "best of three" contest to form words within the allotted time. Unlike a conventional word-finding game, Word Carnivale replaces boring static blocks with balloons that pop when words are formed, allowing new balloons to float up. Word Carnivale hit the top of the charts for iPhone Educational and Word Games, soon after its launch in December 2012.

"For this contest we've setup a Facebook page where people can pick the school they want to play for, download the free game, and get real time updates on the team and individual scores," says William Volk, Chief Creative Officer, PlayScreen. "Anyone can play, opening the door for fans and alumni to partake and support the school of their choice!"

At the conclusion of the contest, top scoring players will be awarded gift cards to Amazon, while one random winner will be selected for the grand prize: $200 to Amazon! That winner will be picked from the winning school. The schools will go head-to-head as players top scores contribute to the school's overall score. So, the more players a team has, the better that school's chances of winning and obtaining bragging rights!

Nitrogen Studios releases iPhone version of popular storybook app Echo - Published on 03/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vancouver based Nitrogen Studios has just released Kodee's Canoe 'Echo' for the iPhone. This version is based on the very successful iPad storybook app of the same name, which takes the reader through a nature mystery story, providing educational content and beautiful graphics. With a unique and charming design, a focus on nature and learning to read, follow Kodee and Raccoon as they find themselves puzzled by the mysterious voices that are coming from a small island on the lake.

Vancouver, Canada - Nitrogen Studios is proud to announce the release of the first iPhone app from its own preschool property, Kodee's Canoe. "Echo" is a premium storybook app based in the beautiful Canadian wilderness, starring a young Spirit Bear named Kodee. The new app focuses on telling a kid friendly mystery story whilst taking a 'soft science' approach in providing educational content that is wrapped up in a very entertaining story and presented with beautifully rendered graphics.

With a unique and charming design, a focus on nature and learning to read, Kodee's Canoe 'Echo' will keep children entertained for hours. Follow Kodee and Raccoon as they find themselves puzzled by the mysterious voices that are coming from a small island on the lake.

"Kodee is a fun loving Spirit Bear, who encourages playing outside, being active, exploring and problem solving" says Nicole Stinn, CEO of Nitrogen Studios. "Young children, with their natural curiosity about the world, are enjoying exploring with Kodee, and we feel that a major part of the attraction lies in the stunning graphics. It's a world in which the child is fully immersed and truly engaged in the story and the activities".

There are a lot of apps and television shows in the pre-school marketplace, but very few have the sophisticated production values seen in animated movies geared toward the older child. It is not surprising that "Kodee's Canoe - Echo" breaks the mould in this regard considering that it was conceived and created by Nicole Stinn and Greg Tiernan, the Producer and Director of one of the world's most popular pre-school brands "Thomas & Friends". A mega-star amongst the toddler brigade, Thomas the Tank Engine was transformed by the team at Nitrogen Studios from a charming but dated model train TV show to a slick CGI production.

Feature Highlights:
* Animated intro movie with soundtrack of "Kodee's Canoe" theme
* Every beautiful page comes alive as the story unfolds
* Tap characters or parts of their environment
* Read the story with or without the narrator
* Explore the concept of echoes further with the free Echo Simulator companion app

Device Requirements:
Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Pricing and Availability:
Kodee's Canoe: Echo is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

AppPotential Helps Restore Productivity With Meeting+ for iPad - Published on 03/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AppPotential today announces Meeting+ Effective Meetings Manager 2.0, the latest update to their flagship product for iPad. Meeting+ provides users and organizations the ability to manage the entire meeting process in an easy to use mobile app. This includes advanced capabilities to measure individual and meeting performance. This latest version streamlines and improves the user experience, and adds rich text formatting capabilities to all note entries.

Lebanon, Connecticut - AppPotential today is thrilled to announce the release of Meeting+ Effective Meetings Manager 2.0, the latest update to their flagship product for iPad is now available on the App Store. There are over 11 million meetings every year in the United States alone and research suggests that half of all meeting time is wasted, costing up to $600 billion in lost productivity each year. Many office professionals spend up to 1000 hours each year in meetings, and in today's competitive environment that time has to be maximized.

Meeting+(R) uniquely address this need because it has been designed to automate and optimize the entire meeting lifecycle, providing users a productivity advantage. Meeting+ provides users and organizations the ability to manage the entire meeting process in an easy to use mobile app. This includes advanced capabilities to measure individual and meeting performance.

Phill Giancarlo, AppPotential�s Chief Executive Officer points out "Most office professionals have come to accept the status-quo of disorganized and unproductive meetings. They don�t see that with some basic but important changes in their meeting process they can regain lost productivity."

Research has indicated that a majority of meetings fail because of inadequate communication and follow through. Everyone is busy and too often the basic steps of creating agendas, tracking time, managing action items, and sharing relevant information fall through the cracks because there are no comprehensive tools to manage these critical meeting aspects. Where organizations are using tools, those tools tend to focus on narrow components of meetings such as scheduling, or note taking.

Meeting+ is a powerful tool that enables users to plan and execute effective meetings by capturing, organizing, analyzing and sharing the information required for successful outcomes. It improves effectiveness with its extensive capabilities that include:

* Creating useful agendas
* Managing meeting participants
* Capturing and tracking action items
* Creating useful meeting minutes and providing reports to share and analyze meetings
* Capturing attendee performance
* Creating links to documents and information
* Measuring meeting benefits and costs
* Recording audio notes
* Efficient note taking
* Capturing photos and videos on camera equipped devices
* Creating templates to quickly setup recurring or complex meetings

Mr. Giancarlo adds, "We are very excited to be releasing this latest version of Meeting+ to help businesses and individuals improve their meeting effectiveness and restore lost productivity." This latest version streamlines and improves the user experience, and adds rich text formatting capabilities to all note entries.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 24.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
To celebrate the release, Meeting+ will be on sale at 75% off the regular price through March 30th, 2013. For a limited time, Meeting+ Effective Meetings Manager 2.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Inquiries, requests for promotional codes and a reviewer�s guide should be directed to Phill Giancarlo.
