Duck Duck Moose Launches Sequel to Award-Winning Trucks App - Published on 03/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Duck Duck Moose, creator of educational mobile apps for children, has launched More Trucks, a sequel to its popular Trucks app. The new More Trucks app teaches children about construction, stacking, sequencing and problem solving as they drive a fire or tow truck, race monster trucks and build structures with a crane. Each activity is designed to encourage experimentation and stimulate the imagination of children ages two and up.

San Mateo, California - Duck Duck Moose, creator of educational mobile apps for children, has launched More Trucks, a sequel to its popular Trucks app. Trucks, introduced in May 2012, has garnered Parents' Choice and Children's Technology Editors' Choice awards and outsold Angry Birds for iPad at launch.

The new More Trucks app teaches children about construction, stacking, sequencing and problem solving as they drive a fire or tow truck, race monster trucks and build structures with a crane. Each activity is designed to encourage experimentation and stimulate the imagination of children ages two and up. More Trucks is available on the AppStore for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch ($1.99).

More Trucks invites children to explore, play, and experiment with four activities:
* Be a firefighter. Drive the fire engine, hose down the fire, and save the city of San Francisco
* Drive monster trucks through changing terrain, over mud pits and other obstacles, experimenting with different speeds, directions, and jumps
* Use a crane to construct a house, pyramid and other structures. Then knock them down with a wrecking ball and build again
* Tow cars to the junkyard. Unload and stack them in the junkyard

Trucks and objects move, fall and bounce as they would in the real world, teaching children the principles of gravity and physics. For example, in the junkyard, the stack of cars will topple if the pile gets too high or imbalanced.

"Our kid testers were especially drawn to building structures with the crane and stacking cars in the junkyard," said Duck Duck Moose co-founder, Caroline Hu Flexer. "And they loved driving the monster trucks fast!"

More Trucks features an array of lively original music that was composed specifically for this app - from jazz, blues and surf, to rock, country, reggae and classical. The music is performed by a diverse selection of live musicians. In addition to original compositions, there are also re-imaginings of classic children's tunes such as Hurry Hurry Drive the Firetruck, Farmer in the Dell and more.

More Trucks is Duck Duck Moose's 16th title since Caroline Hu Flexer, Michael Flexer and Nicci Gabriel founded the company in 2008 to address the difficulty of finding educational apps for their own children. The Duck Duck Moose collection includes visually stunning and kid-tested apps that teach nursery rhymes and songs, introduce early learning concepts in literacy and math, and encourage open-ended creative play through drawing and storytelling.

Pricing and Availability:
More Trucks 1.0 is only $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Founded in 2008 by three friends, Caroline Hu Flexer, Nicci Gabriel and Michael Flexer, who share a passion for education, design, music and play, Duck Duck Moose creates some of the most-loved educational apps for children. From Wheels on the Bus, its first title, to Draw and Tell, a teacher favorite, the company's apps have sustained top rankings in the iTunes and Android stores, and have been honored with 15 Parents' Choice awards, 14 Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice Awards, and a KAPi award for the "Best Children's App" at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show.

VeprIT Resize Sense 1.5.0 - Flexible Batch Image Resizer for Mac - Published on 03/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VeprIT released Resize Sense 1.5.0, a major update of the batch image resizer/cropper/converter for Mac. Resize Sense (MacWorld Gem 2012) is known for flexibility and convenience. The new version focuses on further usability improvement. It introduces a completely redesigned Preview with zoom, supports saving results with drag&drop and copying them to the system clipboard, reordering images in browser, allows to synchronize the manual crop configuration between images of different sizes, etc.

Zoetermeer, Netherlands - VeprIT today is pleased to announce Resize Sense 1.5.0 for Mac OS X. Resize Sense (Macworld Gem 2012) is a flexible batch image resizer/cropper/converter. Known for its extreme flexibility and convenience, Resize Sense is designed to fulfill nearly any batch resizing need. To illustrate its flexibility: using custom size and saving presets, it is easy to resize many images, each one to several different sizes, and save them in various formats with different filename patterns. All this in a single batch operation, in a few minutes!

Unlike most other batch image resizers, Resize Sense also allows to crop and straighten individual images manually if required, and copy these settings to other images. Resize Sense lets the user decide what to do if, for example, the image aspect ratio changes: crop, deform, or add borders. Or when the image is too small for the requested size: enlarge, extend canvas, skip, or just keep the original. Resize Sense also supports batch image transformations such as rotation and flipping.

While providing a great flexibility for professional users, Resize Sense is still relatively easy to use for novice users. It will save significant amounts of time for anybody wishing to send a number of images by e-mail, keep them on mobile devices, put them on a website with strict size requirements, etc.

Main features:
* Flexible resizing options. Resize Sense is designed to fulfill any batch resizing need as conveniently as possible
* Custom user presets. A user performing repetitive tasks only needs to configure the resizing and saving options once per task, and save them as presets. It is even possible to apply multiple size presets to every image. Resize Sense also supports saving presets for file naming rules and format settings
* Manual per-image, per-preset crop & straighten adjustment. Most other batch image resizers allow at best to align the crop rectangle to the left/right/top/bottom, but a better control is often required
* Batch image cropper & straightener functionality. Resize Sense can be used as a bulk image cropper and straightener, because it supports copying & pasting of the manual crop & straighten configuration between images
* Batch image format converter functionality. Resize Sense can be used to convert multiple images from any format supported by the operating system to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, and BMP
* Batch image transformations. Rotation by 90 and 180 degrees, horizontal and vertical flipping
* Live final image preview. The user can see immediately how the final image will look after cropping, extending with solid borders, or distorting
* Simple, intuitive, self-explanatory user interface. Although it is a complex professional tool, Resize Sense is designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible

Resizing types:
* Fixed width and height. If the aspect ratio changes, you have a number of options to fix it
* Fixed width or height. The other dimension will be computed to preserve the original aspect ratio
* Fixed output image dimensions. They are assigned to width and height based on the original image orientation
* Fit to a box with defined width and height
* Fit to a box with defined dimensions
* Fixed longest edge size. The other dimension will be computed to preserve the required aspect ratio
* Fixed shortest edge size
* Fixed megapixel count. The width and height will be computed to preserve the required aspect ratio while achieving the required megapixel count
* Crop only. A special type for the case if only cropping (without specific sizing) is needed

Size units:
* Pixels
* Percents
* Inches
* Centimeters

Resolution units (available when defining size in inches or centimeters):
* Pixels per inch
* Pixels per centimeter

The following additional resizing options are available. If the original image is too small for the requested size, the user can choose to:
* Enlarge (up-sample) the image
* Extend the image with borders, transparent or of a solid color
* Do not save (skip) the image
* Copy the original image

If the image aspect ratio changes (the requested size is not proportional to the original), the user can choose to:
* Crop the image, aligning the crop rectangle as desired, or even adjusting it manually
* Add solid borders of a customizable color
* Deform the image

New in Resize Sense 1.5.0:
This major update focuses on usability, further improving the user interface flexibility, efficiency, and convenience. It adds a number of features requested by the users
* Completely redesigned Image View with zooming support and other improvements
* Resized images can be saved by dragging them to Finder
* Resized image can be dragged to another application supporting image dropping
* Resized image can be copied to the system clipboard and pasted in another application supporting image pasting
* Images can be reordered in the browser. Combined with saving with sequence numbers, this can be used to reorder saved images
* The crop & straighten settings can be copied between images of different sizes. This is only possible with the Crop only resizing type, when the crop aspect ratio is not defined, and the image is not straightened
* Changed the demo mode restriction in the non-Mac App Store version. Images can now be saved with a watermark in demo mode
* User interface improvements
* Bug fixes

Testimonials:
"It is rare that I ever come across a piece of software that I find so immediately intuitive - and Resize Sense achieves that without sacrificing any features or functionality." - J. Glenn Kunzler, MacTrast Managing Editor.

"Resize Sense 1.3 is a simple app that does some complex things in a relatively intuitive way. The program provides excellent user documentation to guide you to exactly the setting you need. If you have to resize or crop single or batches of images on a regular basis, you'll be glad to leave the heavy lifting to Resize Sense." - Jackie Dove, Macworld Senior Editor.

"Resize Sense is a great batch image editing and converting tool that does the bulk of the work for you when dealing with repetitive image tasks, serving as an all-in-one solution for resizing and cropping images to exactly the right form and layout for your needs every single time." - J. Glenn Kunzler, MacTrast Managing Editor.

"Resize Sense is an all-in-one batch resizer and cropping tool that will save both time and tedious labor in getting one image - or hundreds of images - to exactly the right size for webpages, email, and layouts." - Jackie Dove, Macworld Senior Editor.

"Congratulation for your software, after long search this is the more flexible, powerful and stable." - Carlo Vigiani, Viggiosoft.

"I bought this app a couple of days ago and am finding it great.... Resizing images has ceased to be a chore. The layout couldn't be simpler, all on the one screen, very easy to organise your work. I really like the ability to resize to various dimensions all at the same time. Great price and really fast." - lensable, Resize Sense user (review on the Mac App Store Ireland).

"I recently bought your app and I must say that after many, many, many trials of similar software, yours is the best for my massive bulk resizing. Simply, fast and careful." - Eddie, Resize Sense user

AlphaTots Receives 2013 ON for Learning Award From Common Sense Media - Published on 03/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

While the snow from the last weekend's major winter storm is melting, the awards are stacking up for Spinlight Studio. So far this year, the award-winning educational app developer has racked up two Parents' Choice Awards and one Editor's Choice from Children's Technology Review. And now, they've earned top honors at the First Annual ON for Learning Awards Ceremony, recognizing the 51 best digital products for children.

Champaign, Illinois - Since 2003, Common Sense Media has been steering parents through the overwhelming tide of digital products designed for children, looking for those with the best learning potential. And last night, they named AlphaTots among the best in that category, at a glittering award event in San Francisco. Hosted at the city's Cartoon Museum, the First Annual ON for Learning Awards ceremony placed the early learning app from Spinlight Studio on the short list of the best 50 games, apps and websites available for kids today.

Part of the Tots Education Series, AlphaTots uses 26 different action verbs to help children master their ABCs with fun and engaging mini-activities that encourage exploration. "It was one of our first titles," says the company's CEO and co-founder, Matt Hutton. "And to this day, it continues to be one of the best sellers in our growing catalog." Since it's release in 2011, AlphaTots has garnered a Parents' Choice Award, been featured in a best-selling book series and even received a plug on the Today Show from former Punky Brewster star and current Hollywood hipster, Soleil Moon Frye.

"New audiences are constantly discovering it," says Hutton. "And when they find it, they love it, because it's fun and educational." As a parent and an avid game-player, Hutton believes it's that mix of "edu-tainment" that defines Spinlight's growing collection of apps. "Some apps teach. Others entertain. We occupy the ground where those two worlds meet, which means parents and kids are both happy when they launch one of our games."

It was that dual focus that earned the attention of Common Sense Media, which uses highly trained reviewers to analyze digital media products for core academic content like reading, math and science, as well as deeper learning and social skills such as critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. AlphaTots excelled in the organization's learning ratings, which are based on a rigorous evaluation framework developed through interviews with academic experts, a literature review of key 21st-century learning skills, and parent and teacher research samples.

"Our learning ratings are the most comprehensive tool parents have to distinguish the digital media products that are truly educational from those that simply claim to be," said Seeta Pai, architect of the Common Sense Media learning ratings initiative. "The ON for Learning Award recipients have set themselves apart from the pack. We congratulate Spinlight for receiving this award and for creating a terrific app that helps kids learn and have fun, too."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 29.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
AlphaTots 2.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

The App features hi-def animation, tricks, rolling terrains, full featured game editor, social sharing, original music, and more. Version 1.2 offers improved features and fixed bugs.

Vancouver, Canada - Goldmark Studios, a premier app developer based in Canada, officially launched their new version of Sled Mayhem this week in the iTunes store. Sled Mayhem is a snowmobile racing game featuring hi-def animation, tricks, rolling terrains, full featured game editor, social sharing, original music, and more.

"We recognize the importance of social media, and believe it is a fun and necessary feature of the game," said Cecar.

Sled Mayhem reached #1 in racing games, #2 in sports, and #4 in overall games in Canada, and is available on iTunes. Google Play and Windows version are coming soon.
