Free app Find The Word is Available for Word Game Enthusiasts - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

What is challenging, mind-bending, and developed by Apprope? The answer is: Find The Word. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Find The Word offers word riddles with multiple categories. Players are given seven clues to solve the "one word" answer, which could be anything from "typhoons"; to "Germany." Once one series of riddles is solved, game players can move to the next. The game is available in five categories: easy, arcade, hard, film stars, and music.

Stockholm, Sweden - For people who like riddles, game developer Apprope is offering a new digital challenge. In Find The Word, players are given seven clues in succession to guess the "one word" answer. Clues are purchased through hint coins, which are earned each time a question is answered. While the game is free to download, extra hint coins can be purchased in the app store.

The gameplay is simple. Players are given a twelve-letter word bank each round, and they can spell out their guesses simply by clicking on each letter. The game has been translated into several languages, including French, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian.

Once one series of riddles is solved, game players can move to the next. The game is available in five categories: easy, arcade, hard, film stars, and music. The easy version contains simple vocabulary for kids. The arcade version is a medium-level version with over 100 challenges. The hard version is for people looking for something a little more difficult, as it contains more complex vocabulary and tougher clues. Finally, the film stars and music categories bring a little trivia to the game. Players are quizzed on actors, directors, movies, behind the scenes action, and famous people's personal lives.

Game developer Daniel Lodin describes it as a "fun, challenging yet exciting game of riddles." He adds, "Question after question forces players to think outside of the box. At one moment, you're getting clues about the word 'iceberg,' and the next challenge has your brain stretching to completely different concepts to get the word 'armadillo.'"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

Star Walk Updated with Stargazing Calendar and ISON Comet Tracking - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vito Technology has announced a major upgrade to its Star Walk app, the augmented reality app for spotting over 200,000 stars, planets, constellations, satellites and galaxies in the night sky. The new version 6.2 includes a comprehensive stargazing calendar that shows all visible celestial events for your area, explains their nature and sets a reminder in iCal for ones users chose to see. Other additions include comet tracking and iridium flares.

Alexandria, Virginia - Vito Technology has announced a major upgrade to its Star Walk app - the augmented reality app for spotting over 200,000 stars, planets, constellations, satellites and galaxies in the night sky. The new version 6.2 includes a comprehensive stargazing calendar that shows all visible celestial events for your area, explains their nature and sets a reminder in iCal for ones you chose to see. Other additions include comet tracking and iridium flares.

Star Walk is a handy astronomy guide that shows celestial objects (stars, constellations, satellites, etc.) in the exact positions on the sky above you, providing comprehensive information about them. It helps anyone even remotely interested in astronomy find their way across the sky, determine where to look for any chosen object, rewind or fast-forward time to see how celestial bodies move. It inspires curiosity about the Universe and helps understand amazing cosmic phenomena.

The Calendar of celestial events is a highly requested feature that finally came to life in the recent update. A natural addition to the stargazing guide, it suggests the best subjects for your observations. They are presented in a concise list starting with events of nearest past and going far into the future. Tapping on event, you can read more on what you are about to see and schedule a reminder that will automatically sync with iCal.

Another feature added by popular request is Comet tracking that includes four comets: Halley, ISON, PANSTARRS, and Lemmon. Users will be able to identify the comets in the night sky, access all relevant information, and schedule a reminder for when the comets are visible. For instance, the highly anticipated ISON comet will light up the skies in November 2013. New version can help stargazers track the comet and set a reminder not to miss the main celestial event of the year.

Iridium flares are the reflections of sunlight caught by Iridium communication satellites orbiting the Earth. They happen as the satellite turns to a specific angle to the Sun and the viewer on the ground and these position can be calculated allowing Star Walk users to see the flares.

Feature Highlights:
* Augmented Reality
* Star Spotter - real time motion tracking tells you what stars are above you in the sky
* Satellites Tracking - never miss ISS flying over your head again
* Comet Tracking - find ISON, PANSTARRS, Halley, and Lemmon
* Time Machine - see what the sky looks like at any moment in the past or future
* Calendar of Celestial Events: plan stargazing without leaving your favorite app
* Picture of the Day - stunning pictures from deep space
* Night Mode - preserve your dark vision to see more stars
* Search - wondering where Jupiter is right now? Arrow will guide you to it
* Big Screen - connect a second display to view the sky on a big screen
* AirPrint, Moon Phases, Info, View from any location, TelRad, Sharing, Bookmarks, and more
* No internet connection required

Language Support:
English, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 50 MB for iPhone, 90 MB for iPad version

Wanderful Releases Interactive Storybook Collection for Mac Computers - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wanderful Interactive Storybooks, the award-winning developer of apps for today's digital kids, announces the release of its interactive storybook apps for Mac computers running OS X. These interactive storybooks, available now in the Apple Mac App store including the award-winning Harry and the Haunted House and Arthur's Teacher Trouble, are also part of the Wanderful storybook collection previously released for iOS devices and originally published by Living Books.

San Francisco, California - Wanderful Interactive Storybooks, the award-winning developer of apps for today's digital kids, announces the release of its interactive storybook apps for Mac computers running OSX. These apps, including the award-winning Harry and the Haunted House and Arthur's Teacher Trouble, are part of the Wanderful storybook collection for iOS originally published by Living Books.

The eight apps are in US English. Most come preloaded with story content in English, Spanish and French although several have different language configurations. Users can toggle instantly between languages with either a mouse click or a tap on the keyboard. These Wanderful apps also include a Classroom Activities guide developed for each app , which is an optional upgrade in the iOS versions. The guide, developed by teachers, creates lesson plans around each story's themes aligned with the Common Core State Standards. The activities are grouped by grade level and by subject, including language arts, reading, social studies, science and art.

"We've had many requests from Mac-using teachers and parents, so we are excited to make these great story experiences again available for the Mac," said Wanderful Founder and CEO Mickey W. Mantle. "As Living Books, these were pioneering apps on Macs of a generation ago, so in a way they've come full circle. But the new Wanderful engine presents these stories on modern computers in a new and exciting way."

Wanderful apps are highly intuitive and encourage children to explore each interactive storybook page for all its hidden content. With hundreds of interactive antics sounds, words and music, the apps provide a richer interactive experience on one page than many other story apps offer in a whole book.

Feature Highlights:
* Two modes: Read To Me and Let Me Play
* In the Read To Me mode, the storybook is read aloud with sounds, music, and animated sequences that expand the written words on the page
* In the Let Me Play mode each page contains more interactivity than many storybook apps have in their entire app - each page comes alive with animated sounds, words, and interactions triggered by user selection
* Dynamic page selection

Brave Luck Books Releases Chapters from Ongoing Audiobook Production - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie fantasy author Tracy Falbe is publishing audio episodes from The Goddess Queen as they are recorded. The serialized audiobook presentation is building up to the release of the completed audiobook that will be distributed into iTunes in fall 2013. As of April 2013, 18 audio chapters from the fantasy novel The Goddess Queen by Tracy Falbe have been published at Brave Luck Books. Falbe, who is the author of 8 novels, is working with voice talent, Andrew Wetmore, to record the novel.

Battle Creek, Michigan - Indie fantasy author Tracy Falbe is publishing audio episodes from The Goddess Queen as they are recorded. The serialized audiobook presentation is building up to the release of the completed audiobook that will be distributed into iTunes in fall 2013. As of April 2013, 18 audio chapters from the fantasy novel The Goddess Queen by Tracy Falbe have been published at Brave Luck Books. Falbe, who is the author of 8 novels, is working with freelance voice talent Andrew Wetmore to record the 31-chapter, 159,000 word novel.

The Goddess Queen is the second novel of The Rys Chronicles fantasy series. Set in a Medieval-style fantasy world, this character-driven epic opens with assassins stalking the rys Shan with enchanted weapons. Shan is raising an army to take against the rys Queen Onja who has ruled humans as a goddess for over two thousand years. Shan's loyal supporter the mercenary General Dreibrand Veta must endure the attacks of a hostile tribal king while threatened by a looming confrontation with the old mentor he deserted in a fit of rage.

Falbe anticipates completing the audiobook production in September 2013. Then the entire audiobook can go into distribution at Audible and iTunes alongside Union of Renegades: The Rys Chronicles Book I. Until then, 2-chapter mp3 episodes from The Goddess Queen are available at Brave Luck Books with a new installment coming out every month.

This monthly approach to production and publication aided Falbe by spreading out the necessary costs of recording a long work of fiction. Listeners who buy episodes help to support the production. Small episodes keep costs low for listeners, who can find out if they enjoy the novel before paying the whole price of an audiobook.

Falbe considers the audiobook market a natural place to expand after developing a readership among ebook readers. Since 2005 she has operated Falbe Publishing and markets her fantasy novels under the Brave Luck Books imprint.

She sells ebooks and audiobooks directly to fans worldwide at her website. All her novels are also available at major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, Sony, Smashwords, OmniLit, Diesel, and DriveThruFiction.

Although the production of The Goddess Queen as an audiobook has been slow going, Falbe has been enjoying a positive collaboration with the narrator Andrew Wetmore.

"He likes reading the novel, which is a relief to me. When he took the job, he thought it would be a nice addition to his regular work of recording software tutorials. I'm so thrilled my fiction can compete with software instructions," Falbe said. "It's exciting as an author to hear another talented person interpret my work. I like to think that I'm making the universe a tiny bit happier by providing someone a paying gig that's fun and creative."

Novels by Tracy Falbe:
* Union of Renegades
* The Goddess Queen
* Judgment Rising
* The Borderlands of Power
* Rys Rising
* Savage Storm
* New Religion
* Love Lost

Publishing within an intensely competitive genre, Falbe entices people to try her fantasy series with free ebook samples and audiobook excerpts at Brave Luck Books.

Let's Present for iPhone Takes Presentation Practice Mobile - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile Utility today announces its newest app, Let's Present 1.0.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, now available in the App Store. Let's Present is the simplest, most straightforward app that will help anyone record, rehearse, improve and perfect their presentations for maximum impact, from business professionals presenting slideshows at work to students at school. The app allows users to instantly import a Powerpoint or PDF format presentation file, record speech and playback the presentation.

Seoul, Republic Of Korea - Many presentation experts agree that rehearsing a speech out loud and practicing multiple times are the two most effective techniques to improve presentation performance. Mobile Utility announced today that its newest app Let's Present(TM) 1.0.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is now available in Apple's App Store, built with these two points in mind.

Let's Present is the simplest, most straightforward app that will help anyone improve and perfect their presentations for maximum impact - from business professionals presenting slideshows at work to students at school.

Functionality and Features:
Intuitively designed, using Let's Present takes just three easy steps; instantly import a Powerpoint or PDF format presentation file into the app, record your speech as you view the file, and playback the presentation to check and improve the results.

Let's Present includes the following features:

* Quick and easy presentation importing - Presentations to rehearse are now always at your fingertips with Let's Present. With no need to sign up or login to yet another website or service, users can easily import presentation files directly on their iPhone or iPad - from email, the web, a Dropbox account or even drag-and-drop through iTunes File Sharing to start rehearsing and record their voice right away.

* View slides and record your speech simultaneously - While viewing the presentation, record your voice to practice at the same time. Users also have the option to record without a presentation file, or quickly create one on the fly using photos.

* Playback and review the presentation recording - Speech recordings can then be played back in sync with the presentation file, allowing users to listen and check for pacing, clarity, pronunciation, voice projection and other techniques and improvements.

* Create a new slideshow using photos - Photos from the iPhone/iPad Camera Roll can be combined to create a slideshow for practice.

* Pacing and timing helpers - While viewing and rehearsing the presentation, helpful features such as the slide counter and timer alarm allows users to pace themselves and stay within a set time limit.

Benefits and Uses:
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and Let's Present enables mobile professionals around the globe to do just that - by viewing, practicing and perfecting their speeches anywhere, anytime with the most intuitive design and easy-to-use features in a presentation app.

Users can experience all the features of Let's Present(TM) on their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch today by downloading from Apple's iTunes App Store for $0.99 USD.
