Flickring for iPhone - The Un-Social Flickr App - Published on 04/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Your Flickr photos are for you, your family, and your close friends to enjoy - not the whole world. Flickring for iPhone by Pixite reminds us that although being social is important, it's mainly about enjoying your photos to the max and doing more with them. Flickring is a top-grade Flickr photo viewer that is fast, easy, and everything a Flickr user expects, with uncommon features like Camera Roll syncing, printing to Walgreens, and creating collages and postcards.

San Diego, California - Your Flickr photos are for you, your family, and your close friends to enjoy - not the whole world. Flickring for iPhone by Pixite reminds us that although being social is important, it's mainly about enjoying your photos to the max and doing more with them.

Flickring is a top-grade Flickr photo viewer that is fast, easy, and everything a Flickr user expects, with uncommon features like Camera Roll syncing, printing to Walgreens, creating collages and postcards, and the ability to explore, save, and use Flickr's vast library of professional photos.

Anyone can get started immediately using it's well-thought-out navigation just by logging in. Flickring's caching feature even allows users to browse their photos offline and unlike many other Flickr apps, displays unpixelated, full-resolution originals. Flickring is also the only Flickr app that has built-in AirPlay controls, not just mirroring, so that users can wirelessly stream high resolution photos to their TV or projector via Apple TV. Flickring makes sharing photos easy by email, Twitter, prints from Walgreen, postcards by Sincerely, and prints from home using AirPrint.

Flickring's revolutionary Auto Uploads feature seamlessly syncs the iPhone's Camera Roll with Flickr. Unlike apps that sync to the cloud when the user opens the app, Flickring is the only Flickr app that syncs entirely in the background. Privacy is important, so synced photos are automatically set to private so only the photos' owner has access to them.

Pixite and Walgreens has teamed up to bring printing at Walgreens from Flickring. With no shipping charges and pick up in an hour or less, it's ideal for people who want beautiful, affordable prints of their online photos without any hassles.

For a list of all the features, visit the official Flickring website.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone with iOS 5.0 or later
* 13.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Flickring for Flickr 1.0 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo and Video category.

Sprout Network 2.0.2 for iOS - Powerful Contacts/Social Networks Manager - Published on 04/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AllGateways today announces Sprout Network 2.0.2 for iOS, its updated contact management app featuring profile discovery and maintenance, contact updates overview, and integrated messaging. Sprout starts with local contacts stored on iDevices. Users can then link their social networks to Sprout through its built-in integration technologies. Allowing users to check and group all their social network messages within a single app, Sprout's innovative mash-up allows optimal communication.

Oak Park, California - AllGateways Software Inc. today is pleased to announce Sprout Network 2.0.2 for iOS, an update to its free contact management app, featuring profile discovery and maintenance, contact updates overview, and integrated messaging. Sprout starts from local contacts stored on iOS devices. Users can then link their social networks to Sprout through its built-in integration technologies. Allowing users to check, categorize, and link all their social network content within a single app, Sprout's innovative mash-up of technologies and networks supports optimal communication.

Key features of Sprout 2.0.2:
* Synchronize and complete iOS address book via basic social profiles
* Group together contacts by social network, source, or a custom category
* A single, expertly designed environment from which to browse all profiles, check on all updates, and send all messages
* Search social networks for people or topics
* Unified timeline across social networks
* Contact detection from social contents
* Interactions on social contents
* Integration architecture allows adding new social networks or services easily and effortlessly
Coming soon with the next release of Sprout:
* Secure content sharing completely controlled by the user
* Structured messaging
* Optimized communication
* More social networks and services
* Dashboard view of contacts and updates

A user's iDevice may contain the names and numbers of their contacts, but this information may represent just a fraction of everyone with whom they communicate. Typically, users check Facebook for status updates, LinkedIn for job positions, and FourSquare to find places. Sprout Network displays all of these, and more, in one location. And the app provides more than access to multiple networks from a single app; it also keeps the user's phonebook continuously updated with information gleaned from social networks. The Sprout Network solution makes maintaining connections and expanding social networks automatic, easy, and perfectly organized.

When launched, Sprout guides users through a discovery process that teaches them to find their associates in all the social networks they use. This matching process is accurate, automatic, and uses attributes already in their phonebook and social networks. No additional setup is required. Sprout will list contacts in a familiar fashion and display logos that represent shared social networks alongside names of associates, friends, and family. Users are freed from the task of filling in job positions for each of their contacts manually. This innovative app automatically updates and fills in contact profiles in the address book by pulling information from social networks. These features make Sprout a highly effective contact management solution, eliminating the need for users to visit multiple sites to find basic information about their contacts.

Supported Social Networks and Photo Sharing Services:
* Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, LinkedIn
* Flickr, Google+, Sina Weibo, Sohu Weibo
* Tencent Weibo, RenRen, Jiepang

Beyond the basic profiles, Sprout provides a timeline of the user's social dynamics, including status updates, wall messages, photo shares, and other activities. The timeline provides a summary of the latest news from personal contacts, those with similar interests, and across all social networks. To monitor social updates more effectively, users can choose to filter the messages by groups of people (e.g. Close Friends) or by particular social networks (e.g. Twitter). Furthermore, prospective contacts can be detected from message streams, which enables users to expand contact networks through already established contact lists, as well as based on the interests or discussion topics in social media.

"The remarkably clean and intuitive user interface is, notably, the most significant aspect of Sprout," commented Gary Zheng of AllGateways. "Management of social networks can be stressful and confusing. As a result, we developed an app that makes juggling networks and profiles as easy as possible. Although Sprout features complex algorithms and integration functions, its navigation will be familiar to anyone who has browsed through a contact list on any cellular device. Users are able to enjoy the app's features immediately, thanks to its easily navigable interface. We strongly believe in simplicity being the key feature in gaining adoption and utilization."

Language Support:
* English and Chinese

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Internet connection required
* 14.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Sprout Network 2.0.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kidaptive today announces Leo's Pad: Preschool Kids Learning Series 1.3, the third animated appisode of their award-winning educational apps for iPad. The adaptive learning apps incorporate interactive learning games with engaging stories to teach children skills from a comprehensive curriculum. The animated stories follow the adventures of eight-year-old friends: Leo, Gally, and Marie. In the third appisode, "Catch that Question" children learn about gravity and more.

Palo Alto, California - Following the worldwide success of the first and second Leo's Pad apps for iPad, Kidaptive has released the next animated appisode of the Leo's Pad Preschool Kids Learning Series. Stanford-trained educators have teamed up with an Emmy-award winning director and feature film animators to create this highly acclaimed series of adaptive learning apps.

As part of the story, learners help Leo with painting, flying, and catching fireflies through games and activities. These activities are carefully engineered to teach learning dimensions such as turn-taking, impulse control, emotion identification in others, attention control, and collaboration.

Interactive games are integrated into the story and allow children to engage with the characters directly. The adaptive technology allows the difficulty of games in the app to automatically adjust based on previous responses by the learner.

Word Trip Challenges Gamers to Create Words and Reveal Solar Objects - Published on 04/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Word Trip 1.1 from Pleiades Apps challenges gamers to create as many three to eight-letter words as possible before time runs out. Along the way, they can boost their score by adding "Power Ups" to certain letters, and unleash amazing solar objects that sail through the sky. Designed for iPad, gamers can connect and compete with others via the Game Center, and stamp their name on 24 achievement goals. This game delivers endless hours of entertainment and just keeps getting better and better.

Cupertino, California - Gamers in search of a fun, exciting and super-addictive new word game app for their iPad that will have them playing late into the evening - or sometimes all through the night - can now download Word Trip from Pleiades Apps (pronounced "play-at-ease").

Word Trip challenges gamers to create as many three to eight-letter words as possible before time runs out. Along the way, they can boost their score by adding "Power Ups" to certain letters, and unleash amazing solar objects that sail through the sky. The higher their score, the more they'll see - such as a beautiful lunar eclipse at the 100,000 point mark, and other enhanced graphics that makes it very rewarding to keep playing and playing. Plus, gamers can connect and compete with others via the Game Center, and stamp their name on 24 achievement goals.

Word Trip challenges gamers to create words, boost their score and reveal amazing solar objects. "Many word game-type apps get boring after a while, and there's really no incentive to keep playing and getting higher and higher scores," commented Martin Bateson of Pleiades Apps. "But that's where Word Trip is totally different! As their skill and score increases, gamers will see amazing objects and graphics, like a lunar eclipse and so much more. So instead of getting bored and heading back to the App Store to download yet another app, gamers who try Word Trip will find that it delivers endless hours of entertainment and just keeps getting better and better!"

* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 10.0 MB

Jigsaw Box for iPad Tops 3 Million Puzzle Games Per Month - Published on 04/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sparkle Apps announces that their Free-to-Play jigsaw puzzle game, Jigsaw Box 3.1.3, now attracts over 3 million puzzle games per month. Jigsaw Box brings the classic family jigsaw puzzle in to the modern age of touch screen devices. All the puzzles in Jigsaw Box can be played at a level to suit the players ability. Sparkle Apps has increased games played with Jigsaw Box from 1.2 million games per month in January 2012 to 3.2 million games per month today.

Dublin, Ireland - Sparkle Apps announces today that their Free-to-Play jigsaw puzzle game Jigsaw Box 3.1.3 now attracts over 3 million puzzle games per month. Jigsaw Box brings the classic family jigsaw puzzle in to the modern age of touch screen devices. Sparkle Apps has increased games played with Jigsaw Box from 1.2 million games per month in January 2012 to 3.2 million games per month today.

"People love playing jigsaws and Jigsaw Box is the best jigsaw experience on iPad" said Paul Reilly, founder of Sparkle Apps. The app appeals to players of all ages from 2 years to 90 years old. All the puzzles in Jigsaw Box can be played at a level to suit the players ability, from small 8 piece puzzles for kids, to over 250 pieces for adults.

Jigsaw pieces are beautifully rendered with beveled edges, and there is a choice of relaxing background music to accompany the game. A range of useful tools allows players to select the edge pieces only and to collect and sort pieces in a tray. For those that need a little help, a preview of the puzzle can be displayed on screen or in the background.

The app comes bundled with a large selection of puzzles, and new puzzle packs can be purchased very cheaply in the Puzzle Store. Due to customer demand, new puzzle packs are now added to the Puzzle Store every Friday. "Customers were always asking for more and more puzzles, so we introduced Puzzle Friday. Customers now know exactly when new puzzles come out, and always have something new to puzzle for the weekend" said Paul.

One of the most popular features of the app is the Puzzle Maker. Using the Puzzle Maker players can create their own puzzles from their photos. Creating puzzles of familiar people and places adds a new level of fun and engagement to game play. "Kids love doing puzzles of people and places that are familiar to them" commented Paul. Playing puzzles has long been recognized as an important learning tool for kids because recognizing and analyzing patterns is the foundation of reading, math and logic skills. Puzzling is also a great way for people to keep their minds active, because it exercises both the logical (left) and creative (right) side of the brain at the same time.

In November 2012, Sparkle Apps switched from a paid model to a free-to-play model for Jigsaw Box. All of the core features of the app are now free to play, including the ability to create puzzles from photos. What's more, Sparkle Apps release one free puzzle pack every month, so there are always new free puzzles to play.

Feature Highlights:
* Free-to-Play (all the features of the app are free to play)
* Range of sizes to suit all ages and abilities
* The Puzzle Maker to create puzzles from photos
* New puzzle packs every "Puzzle Friday"
* Choice of relaxing background music
* Free puzzles every month

These features of Jigsaw Box and more can be seen on the Sparkle Apps YouTube channel.

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

Device Requirements:
