Clean Up Your Sandbox - Published on 04/10/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boinx Software Ltd. introduces SandboxCleaner 1.0 for Mac OS X. SandboxCleaner looks for incompatible QuickTime components that cause crashes with popular video and photo apps on the Mac. This new utility app leaves Mac's nationwide running smooth. When QuickTime components are incompatible with OS X sandboxing, problems, like crashing, with many popular video and photo apps ensue. SandboxCleaner helps users find and disable these components, keeping systems up and running without a hitch.
Puchheim, Germany - Boinx Software Ltd. introduces SandboxCleaner 1.0 for Mac OS X. No one likes a dirty sandbox, and no one likes when their Mac crashes. Solve both of these problems with Boinx Software's brand new SandboxCleaner, a new utility app that will leave Mac's nationwide running smooth as ever. When QuickTime components are incompatible with OS X sandboxing, problems, like crashing, with many popular video and photo apps ensue. SandboxCleaner helps users find and disable these components, nipping problems in the bud and keeping your system up and running without a hitch.
"Our users were experiencing baffling crashes with FotoMagico and iStopMotion," recalls Oliver Breidenbach, founder and CEO at Boinx Software. "It took us quite a while to figure out what was wrong. When we finally identified the issue, we realized the only way to deal with it was to scan for problematic components and provide the user with suggestions on how to resolve these issues. We spent months collating data regarding issues with outdated or incompatible QuickTime components reported by our users. Now, users can perform scans with SandboxCleaner to clean up their Macs, making their lives a whole lot easier. These problems affect all sandboxed video and photo apps - not just ours - so we decided to provide this troubleshooting utility to all Mac users."
Once SandboxCleaner detects a component known to cause problems, it helps the user figure out what to do. In some cases, it will tell the user if the vendor of the component is offering an update, which will resolve the issue once installed. Other times, it is best to uninstall the component using the Finder. An FAQ on the SandboxCleaner web page explains to users how to temporarily disable these problematic components. Then, the user should contact the corresponding vendor for further information. If you know of components that cause issues but are not reported or are experiencing any other problems with SandboxCleaner, simply notify Boinx via the Feedback Assistant. Everyone with a Mac running OS X 10.8 or higher should run SandboxCleaner.
Be a Pal - Help Friends Keep Their Sandboxes Clean, Too!
Incompatible QuickTime components are a widespread problem. Many of your friends will experience the same or even worse problems than you. Unkempt sandboxes can lead to frustration - and no one wants a grumpy friend around! Be your friend's hero by letting them know about SandboxCleaner using the built-in Twitter, Facebook and email sharing link.

SillyTale MahJong 2.4 for iPad - The Impregnable Pyramid - Published on 04/10/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Silly Tale Studio today announces SillyTale Mahjong HD 2.4, an update to their popular solitaire game for iPad. This update is primarily intended for those who find it difficult to solve the most difficult layouts. Many players have already faced impregnable Pyramid, of which the chance of a solution is very small, and they are desperate. Now they will start this layout with two bonus shuffle, which will increase their chances by half.
Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation - Silly Tale studio has introduced SillyTale Mahjong HD 2.4, an update to their popular solitaire game for iPad. This update is primarily intended for those who find it difficult to solve the most difficult layouts. Many players have already faced impregnable Pyramid, the chances of a solution which is very small, and they are desperate.
Layout "Pyramid" is not developer's invention, but the classic game, of which the chances solving are small. It must be included in order to introduce the most complex layout and to those who had yet to solve it, felt like mahjong heroes. - By the way we have two here in Silly Tale studio.
At the time, the game developers check all the layout with your own hands and spend a lot of time, the Pyramid, with its extreme level of complexity has forced to spend months on the manual check. Therefore, SillyTale created an algorithm behavior of the player, wrote a program that automatically solves mahjong, and accelerated this process.
The results were disappointing. If the rapid solution of complex layout "7 thousand steps" by the bot program took an hour, then the Pyramid's took 10 hours. SillyTale has decided to give an extra shuffle at the start of the game.
Now player will start this layout with two bonus shuffle, which will increase their chances in half. Additional shuffle which the player acquired via In-App will stack with this bonus. The developers hope this will help to facilitate the game.
Feature Highlights:
* Favorite layout "The Turtle" and more (normal, hard, very hard and extreme difficulty)
* Hard classic game
* Hint and Undo
* Music and sound control
* Saving when exit and goes to background
* Unique scoring
* In-App Purchases "Shuffle 3" and "Shuffle 10" bonus
* Game Center achievements
* Multiplayer Duels
Unlike other single-player MahJong games, this one includes unprecedented ergonomics, levels of difficulty, gameplay action, photo-realistic tiles, and optional hints. The innovative design features of SillyTale MahJong for iPad allow users to enjoy gameplay on any iDevice, including the iPhone.
On launch in landscape orientation, the game allows the user to choose from 12 different symmetrical, tile-stacking designs for the puzzle they want to solve. All initial position, geometrically stacked piles of stones consist of all 144 tiles, and each is rated from two to five stars in difficulty. The app includes integrated Facebook and Twitter connectivity for sharing games, free hints after 60 seconds without a move, continuing paused games, and soothing Chinese music. Two players can collaborate on a single puzzle or compete against each other.
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 39.3 MB
Pricing and Availability:
SillyTale MahJong HD 2.4 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Free eBook Reveals How 27 Writers Published their Books as Book Apps - Published on 04/11/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"What is a Book App and Could YOU Create One? How 27 Writers Did!" is the new eBook that's right for any writer or illustrator who is wondering if their book could be published as an app for iPad, and it's Free to download from April 9-13. Award winning book app author, speaker and coach, Karen Robertson, takes readers through what a book app is, the step-by-step process for creating a storybook app and shares the personal stories 27 writers who've published book apps for the iPad.
Austin, Texas - "What is a Book App and Could YOU Create One? How 27 Writers Did!" is the new eBook that's right for any writer or illustrator who is wondering if their book could be a book app for Apple or Android devices (like the iPad), and it's Free to download from April 9th - April 13th.
In this eBook, children's book app author, speaker and coach, Karen Robertson, explains what a book app is, why it's such an exciting publishing option, reveals a proven process for creating book apps, and presents the personal stories of 27 other writers who've published their books as apps for the iPad and other devices. From these 27 stories, others can see that there are a lot of ways to publish books as apps, and if these people can do it, others can too.
Published author-illustrator, Roxie Munro, has transformed two of her works into book apps and her story is included in the FREE eBook. "The interactive concepts inherent in my books, and even my art style, made them ideal for the book app format. I was thrilled, and ready to embrace new technology," said Roxie. Both of your apps are available for the iPad.
When Nina Lim's initial "yes" became a "no" at a publisher's editorial meeting, she took her career into her own hands and published her book as a book app. "I've now published two book apps and have been approached by another book app publisher to write for them," Nina shares.
A busy high-tech professional, father of four, and passionate writer, Cary Snowden, felt he was burning through time as he played the traditional publishing game. Fate stepped in when he met a colleague at a networking event who talked about a new, do-it-yourself book app publishing platform. Cary reveals, "As a book app, 'The Day I Became a Pirate' delivers a story experience far beyond what I could have done in print. I'm hooked!'"
Read their stories and two dozen more for Free between April 9-13 in "What is a Book App and Could YOU Create One? How 27 Writers Did!"
This eBook is available exclusively on Amazon Kindle(TM).
You don't have to have a Kindle(TM) e-reader to read a Kindle(TM) eBook. There is a Free Kindle(TM) app that lets you read books from the Amazon Kindle(TM) store on your Apple(R) or Android(TM) compatible devices. It's easy to use and the app is Free.
Karen Robertson is an international speaker and lecturer on how writers can turn their stories into book apps. She's written numerous eBooks on the topic including "What is a Book App and Could YOU Create One? How 27 Writers Did!," "Author's Guide to Book Apps," "How to Choose a Book App Developer" and "How to Market a Book App." She's written two award-winning book apps, "Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island" and "Treasure Kai and the Seven Cities of Gold."
