Art Authority Announces Year Three of Its Intern Program for Art Majors - Published on 04/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Art Authority, developers of the award-winning line of classic art apps, today announced year three of its Summer Intern Program for students majoring in art and art history. As in previous years, the program aims to provide students with experience working on a cutting-edge app within their field of study while at the same time enhancing the database behind the Art Authority line of apps.

Ashland, Oregon - Art Authority, developers of the award-winning line of classic art apps, today announced year three of its Summer Intern Program for students majoring in art and art history. As in previous years, the program aims to provide students with experience working on cutting-edge apps within their field of study while at the same time enhancing the database behind those apps. Last summer, interns helped add 10,000 works to the 60,000+ Art Authority collection.

College students majoring in any art discipline need only a computer and an Internet connection to apply for, and, if accepted, participate in the program. Participants will work out of their homes and dorm rooms. The positions are unpaid, but course credit is often available. Students will also gain valuable real-world experience as the art field follows music, movies, books and photography into the online, digital realm. Information and an online application form are available on the Art Authority Summer Intern Program website.

"Last summer's program was very successful, with both interns and Art Authority learning a whole lot," said Alan Oppenheimer, president of Art Authority. "This summer we plan to build on that knowledge. For technology-focused students, we think working with our apps is a great alternative to a traditional art internship."

Although responsibilities will vary, many interns will concentrate on works of specific artists. Others may collaborate with specific museums or collections. Students will scour the Internet, libraries and other sources for images and associated information that can be added to or updated in the Art Authority database, where it is then used by Art Authority, Art Alert, and other components of the Art Authority line.

Art Authority for iPad is the only iPad Reference app to be named to Apple's Rewind 2011 and Rewind 2010 "best of" lists. It brings over 60,000 high-resolution classic works of art to users' fingertips. Hailed as "an experience unlike any other" and "visually dazzling," the app professionally displays paintings and sculptures by over 1000 major western artists from ancient times through current-day. The app is in use by Seton Hill University and a number of other educational institutions worldwide. Art Authority for Macintosh and iPhone bring similar functionality to these devices.

Art Authority is the product of an innovative collaboration between two separate software companies, Open Door Networks and Project A. Art Authority's mission is the design, development and deployment of the best ways for users to experience art on their modern-day devices.

Picture My Wall Helps Photographers Maximize Sales - Published on 04/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer, Scott Straka, introduces Picture My Wall, v1.0 for iPad. Picture My Wall is a visualization and in-person sales tool for photographers, decorators and anyone with pictures to hang. The user creates a layout scene by selecting a background from their pictures, adding frames, and then adding their images to the frames. Users are able to preview how pictures or artwork will look on their, or a client's wall, virtually previewing different image sizes, frame sizes and layouts.

Andover, Minnesota - Traditionally, a gap has existed between viewing proofs of photographs and how they will appear at larger sizes on display. Picture My Wall bridges this gap by allowing the user to virtually place images on their wall. The resulting layout can then be modified to ensure the sizes and quantity of images ordered is appropriate for the display area.

The user creates a layout scene by selecting a background from their pictures, adding frames, and then adding their images to the frames. Manipulation of the scene is achieved with intuitive gestures that allow the user to rotate, resize and relocate frames. Created scenes can be saved for later editing or emailed for feedback. This allows the user to create multiple display options for comparison. When a final layout is selected, the measure tool aids in hanging the pictures.

Feature Highlights:
* Use your photos as backgrounds
* Add frames of any size to the background (correctly scaled)
* Move the frames around the background
* Zoom/Pan the image in the frame
* Save the scene for later editing
* Save the scene as an image in your camera roll
* Send the scene in an email directly from Picture My Wall
* Measure the distance between frames

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

Pricing and Availability:
Picture My Wall v1.0 is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. It is currently offered at an introductory price of $14.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies).

A must-have app for all event planners, it features iCloud sync between devices and platforms. With view full screen in OS X, organizers can plan events on their Mac, check-off arriving guests using their iPad, and have their assistants at each table consult the seating list via their iPhone. Guest List Organizer generates informative reports that can be printed or shared via email, Dropbox, or Evernote. A fully integrated suite of apps, they help reduce the amount of time and stress involved planning and hosting any event.

Feature Highlights:

Managing attendees at a party or event can be a time consuming process. However, Guest List Organizer simplifies any guest list and provides real-time, accurate information on invitees and attendees. The app is a one-stop solution for organizing events. An event greeter can quickly check off guests as they arrive, providing an accurate, up-to-the-minute status on every invited guest.

Guest List Organizer is simple and easy to use. Users create a new event by tapping or clicking the plus button in the bottom corner. Users add information to the event window, such as the event name, location, date, time, and any additional notes or comments. Once an event is created, users may import contacts and detailed information from Facebook, Address Book, previous events, or enter guests manually. Each guest entry includes fields for first name, last name, phone, email, table assignment, notes, and custom-created fields. Guest entries also include designation of male, female, or child along with the ability to include a photo of the invitee. Photos can be imported from Facebook, the Address Book, or from saved photos. Including a photo of a guest allows the event organizer or greeter to easily identify and welcome guests.

The Guests window allows users to quickly view and mark when a guest is invited, confirmed, and attends. This view also allows event organizers to view whether or not a guest is bringing additional attendees, ensuring a seat for everyone in attendance. Guest information can be sorted by RSVP status, attendance, name, and more. Guest List Organizer allows users to track guest popularity by notating those guests who arrive with other guests, such as family members or co-workers. This useful information can help the event organizer make quick, last minute table assignment changes, guaranteeing that guests are seated comfortably and ready to enjoy the event.

Users may analyze, print, and share customizable PDF reports via email, Dropbox, and Evernote. Eleven automatically generated, customizable reports track all of the information a party planner may need, and include a templated Summary and Details. Default, pre-defined, and custom fields provide specific, complete information. Event planners can instantly see which guests have arrived and which confirmed guests are not yet at the event, allowing adjustment of event activities as needed.

Smobile for Craigslist - Free iOS App Makes Craigslist Easy, Enjoyable - Published on 04/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Smobile Factory today announces Smobile Free for Craigslist 2.1, an update to its Craigslist client that offers superior viewing, searching, filtering, and posting, plus integration with iOS email/SMS/Phone for responding to posters or forwarding info to friends. While the free listing service is ranked eighth among all U.S. sites in daily traffic, it is not admired for its navigability from mobile devices. Smobile Free automatically reformats the website for unsurpassed usability on iDevices.

Palo Alto, California - Smobile Factory today is pleased to announce Smobile Free for Craigslist 2.1, an update to its highly successful Craigslist client that offers superior viewing, searching, filtering, and posting, plus convenient integration with iOS email/SMS/Phone for responding to posters or forwarding info to friends. While the free listing service is ranked eighth among all U.S. sites in daily traffic, Craigslist is not admired for its navigability from mobile devices. Smobile Free, a universal app, is an advanced Craigslist client that automatically reformats the website for unsurpassed usability on all iDevices. Whether browsing, searching, or posting, using Craigslist has never been easier.

The international app supports 22 languages, and it greets the first-time user with a Continent list, including: Africa, Asia/Pacific/Middle East, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Oceania, and the U.S. Touching any selection activates a slide transition to the next sub-level. For example, U.S. - California - San Francisco Bay Area - Santa Cruz. Users can also specify cities by name or zip code. Smobile Free for Craigslist allows users to search multiple cities simultaneously or employ the Neighborhoods feature in Craigslist.

With all locations selected, Craigslisters can enter a search term or touch one of the major categories listed: Community, For Sale, Gigs, Housing, Jobs, Personals, Resumes, and Services. Again, a slide transition opens a sub-level scrolling list. The app conveniently breaks out many listings so there are three choices, e.g., Arts & Crafts, Arts & Crafts - by Dealer, and Arts & Crafts by Owner. Choosing Arts & Crafts by Owner opens a photo gallery listing of items labeled with prices and posting date.

Browsing by pictures rather than descriptions makes the Craigslist experience far more enjoyable and efficient. Touching any picture opens a full scrolling page devoted to the item, including photos, text, and links. Users can touch any link and view the website without leaving the app. Sellers can be contacted by phone or SMS with the touch of a button. Of course, the official Craigslist Posting ID is included at the end of every listing.

Particularly convenient are the Filter and Save Search features. Mobile users can filter results listings by Minimum Price and/or Maximum Price, and they may filter out posts without an image or photo. The first item in the major categories listing is Saved Searches. From here, users can view a text list of all saved searches by category and then select one to return to its posting. Smobile Free for Craigslist also allows users to favorite posts, view original Craigslist website posts, flag posts (miscategorized, prohibited, spam, Best of Craigslist), and view the listed address on a zoomable street map with directions.

The app also includes complete posting capabilities to any category. Allowing multiple photo attachments, safe Craigslist account login, and full descriptions, Smobile Free for Craigslist makes it easy to post while on the go.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jump App today introduces Puppet Workshop 1.0 for iPad, its latest creativity app that supplies all the raw materials necessary for kids to create their own virtual sock puppets. It features 20 different gloves, mittens, and socks, plus 150 household items (e.g., thread, buttons, etc.) that can be positioned, scaled, and rotated on the puppet. 18 backgrounds are included, or kids can use any image from the Camera Roll as a custom background, and completed projects can be saved to Photos.

Bialystok, Poland - Jump App today introduces Puppet Workshop 1.0 for iPad, its latest creativity app for kids, where they are provided with all the raw materials necessary to create their own virtual sock puppets. The app features 20 different gloves, mittens, and socks, plus 150 household items (e.g., thread, buttons, etc.) that can be positioned, scaled, flipped, and rotated on the puppet. Puppet Workshop comes with 18 background images built-in, or kids can use any image from the Camera Roll as a custom background. When completed, kids just touch the camera button to save and share their projects that are saved to Photos. All items are ultra-sharp, HiRes photographs of actual socks, buttons, and background paintings.

Listed in the Top 10 Kids Apps in the U.S. App Store, Puppet Workshop has received glowing reviews from AppAbled, Fun Educational Apps, The iPhone Mom, and others. According to Smart Apps for Kids, "Since it has significant replay value, this app is a must-buy for parents of kids of all ages - at least 3-10, but older and younger children may enjoy it, too. Let Puppet Workshop inspire your children toward more creativity, both on the iPad and off."

Feature Highlights:
* Application suitable for children of all age groups
* Simple interface makes the app easy to use for kids
* 20 different socks and gloves from which you can create your puppet
* More than 150 items from which you can make eyes, hair, nose, mouth, and other parts of the puppets
* 18 backgrounds available in the application - add your own background image from camera roll on your iPad
* Puppets you create are stored and displayed in the application
* Change puppets' names
* Save your puppet as an image to your device

On launch in landscape orientation, young puppet-makers are greeted by four Polaroids arranged casually on a worktable containing random buttons, geometric shapes, laces, and pipe cleaners. Each Polaroid is labeled with the name of the sock, glove, or mitten pictured. For example, Emma is a white sock with thin, horizontal blue stripes; Rebecca is a bright magenta woolen glove; and Toby is a brown knit mitten with horizontal stripes of various sizes and colors. There are five arrays of puppet faces to choose from, and touching one opens it full screen.

A dazzling collection of small objects from which to make noses, eyes, mouths, hair, eyebrows, clothing, and more is neatly arranged into five categories, accessible from the materials window, scrolling vertically on the right. Kids will find 35 different colored buttons, plain and decorative, solid and patterned, with buttonholes and without. Next, is a wide assortment of 30 fibers, threads, laces, wool, and pipe cleaners in balls, skeins, strips, coils, bunches, and braids. Third is an assemblage of 32 zippers, jewelry chains, bottle caps, watchstraps, plastic and wooden clothespins, and ribbons. Fourth is a portfolio of 34 shapes cut out from felt, textured paper, and paper colored with crayon, including hearts, stars, circles, triangles, comb's teeth, strips, twists, and tangles. Last is an eclectic treasure trove of 25 feathery, furry, crinkly, velour, and gem cut shapes, plumes, stones, and pins.

Puppet Workshop is designed to enable young imaginations, and kids are free to place as many doodads as they like on their puppet-in-progress. They simply touch and drag to position it. As they do, five control buttons drop down from the top of the screen: Rotate Counterclockwise, Rotate Clockwise, Enlarge, Shrink, and Flip Horizontally. When finished, the control buttons go back up offscreen. Buttons, strands, ornaments, etc. can be positioned on top of each other, and young artists can easily drag items to change their position or layer.

Before saving their finished project to Photos, kids can experiment with any of 18 different backgrounds that are supplied. Alternatively, they can draw their own custom background for their sock puppet. Using a snapshot as a background lets kids interact with their puppet in a group photo.

Particularly mindful of the safety of their users, apps from Jump App:
* Do not collect or share any user's personal information
* Do not contain ads
* Do not contain any In-App Purchases
* Do not contain social networks integration

"Do you like this game?" asked Sebastian Bachorzewski of Jump App. "Easy as 1-2-3 you can use any socks, buttons, and threads that you can find at home and create your own hand puppets. Put them on your hands, play different roles and have a lot of fun."

* Compatible with iPad

Photo Sense 1.10.0 - Easy photo enhancement software for Mac and iOS - Published on 04/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VeprIT today released Photo Sense 1.10.0, a major update of the easy non-destructive batch photo enhancement solution for Mac. Photo Sense makes photos more attractive quickly and easily, either automatically or with a minimum user effort. Version 1.10.0 focuses on further usability improvement. Introduces a completely redesigned Preview, supports saving results with drag-n-drop and copying them to the system clipboard, synchronizes the crop configuration between images of different sizes, etc.

Zoetermeer, Netherlands - VeprIT today is pleased to announce Photo Sense 1.10.0, a major update of its flagship product. Photo Sense is a powerful, but very easy to use non-destructive batch photo enhancement solution for Mac. It makes photographs more attractive quickly and easily, without spending a lot of time and money on learning, purchasing, and using professional photo editing software. Photo Sense enhances photos automatically, and allows users to customize results to their liking. It ensures that the users get great results very quickly by supporting batch processing and image settings synchronization. In addition, it offers various creative effects.

The younger brother Photo Sense Lite will also be updated to version 1.4.0 in a few days. Photo Sense has an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch version with a native iPad interface. Photo Sense Lite and the mobile version implement the same automatic photo enhancement algorithm as the full Mac version. They also provide similar semi-automatic processing tools. However, they only work with a single image at a time, and do not allow manual adjustments. In addition, for performance reasons, the mobile version has a limited set of creative effects.

In more detail, Photo Sense (the full Mac version) provides:
* Professional image enhancement techniques automatically applied to multiple photographs
* Results customization at two levels: semi-automatic and manual
* Batch processing (working with multiple images at a time) in automatic and semi-automatic modes
* Image settings synchronization between photographs (including manual adjustments) to speed-up the workflow
* A number of creative effects (applied in a batch mode)
* Non-destructive operation
* Crop and straighten tool (its settings can be synchronized between images, providing batch operation)
* Batch image rotation
* Batch image down-sampling
* Batch image format conversion
* Convenient ways to compare photos before and after processing, including a side-by-side comparison

The unique automatic photo enhancement algorithm implemented in Photo Sense embraces everything its developers learned during over 6 years of professional photography experience. The only shortcoming the application has compared to manual processing is the lack of human vision, which sometimes can lead to a suboptimal choice of automatic image processing parameters. With the tools provided by Photo Sense (two customization levels, batch processing, image settings synchronization etc.) the user can perfect the automatic results easily and quickly.

New in Photo Sense 1.10.0:
This major update focuses on usability, further improving the user interface convenience and efficiency
* Completely redesigned Preview capable of cropping while zoomed in, allowing more precise cropping
* Processed photos can be saved by dragging them to Finder
* Processed photo can be dragged to another application supporting image dropping
* Processed photo can be copied to the system clipboard and pasted in another application supporting image pasting
* The crop & straighten settings can be copied between images of different sizes (before only worked with the same sizes)
* Transparent images support. Note that while transparency is now preserved (because some users requested it), Photo Sense is mainly designed for opaque photographs. Artifacts might appear on the edges in transparent images
* Changed the demo mode limitation in the non-Mac App Store version. Images can now be saved with a watermark in demo mode
* User interface improvements
* Bug fixes
* New application icon

Testimonials:

"Photo Sense is a nifty, automated photo editing app for OS X that can bring forgotten photos back to life. It's great for those that don't want a high-end app's expense or steep learning curve." - Mel Martin, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW).

"Photo Sense is so easy to use that anyone can get the gist and make vast improvements to their pictures in just a couple of minutes." - Jimmy Hayes, issue #95 of the iCreate magazine.

"While Photo Sense isn't cheap, it is competitive with other image editors that are more complicated and don't always give such good results." - Mel Martin, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW).

"A great app for batch processing, simplistically built and very easy to use." - Jimmy Hayes, issue #95 of the iCreate magazine.

"Contrary to what one might imagine, there are not so many applications dedicated to automatic image correction, and Photo Sense is almost an exception - a quality one." - Mathieu Lavant, issue #68 of the Vous et Votre Mac magazine (translated from French).

"Photo Sense is one of the most simplistic apps you're ever likely to encounter on the Mac."
- Jimmy Hayes, issue #95 of the iCreate magazine.

"Photo Sense is an excellent program that I recommend to all those who feel no particular interest in photo correction, but want to significantly improve the quality of their images without spending hours." - Mathieu Lavant, issue #68 of the Vous et Votre Mac magazine (translated from French).

"Overwhelmed With Complicated Photo Software? Try Photo Sense!" - Sue Megrund, AppAdvice.com.

"Intuitive user interface, beautiful design and interesting photo enhancement algorithm combined with the batch processing function make Photo Sense a useful application for any Mac user who would like to perform a quality photo correction without much effort." - ANJUL, appstudio.org (translated from Russian).

"If you are not interested in learning how to make changes and adjustments to your photos on your own, Photo Sense lives up to its name and makes a great solution." - Sue Megrund, AppAdvice.com.

"We are quite successful in using your software for product photography. The workflow is remarkably intuitive and produces good results even with operators who don't have a photography background." - Dr. Roderich Bott, Dr. Bott KG.

"Very cool app. Makes your photos look like you knew how to use a camera." - mac-ho, Photo Sense user (from a Mac App Store review).

"Some day while doing post-processing in Photoshop, I realized that I was applying the same generic algorithm to many photos. Naturally, being very lazy, I decided to try automating it. This is how the Photo Sense automatic photo enhancement engine was born. It took a long time and much effort before it became usable, and is still being optimized, but it proved to be very rewarding. Although originally Photo Sense was intended for novice photo enthusiasts missing Photoshop skills, I am now using it more and more often myself for personal photos, because it saves so much time... And I am very picky about the photo quality!" - Demid Borodin, VeprIT founder and Photo Sense developer.

System Requirements:
Photo Sense 1.10.0 and Photo Sense Lite 1.4.0 require a 64-bit Intel-based Apple computer with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later. Photo Sense 1.7.2 and earlier versions also work on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard). Photo Sense for iOS devices requires iOS 4.2 or later. iPhone 4 or later is highly recommended for performance reasons.

Availability and Pricing:
A demo version, which adds a watermark to the saved images, is freely available for download at the Photo Sense webpage. Photo Sense is also available on the Mac App Store. The current full version price is $33.99. Photo Sense Lite is currently free, and only available on the Mac App Store. Photo Sense for iOS devices is available on the iTunes Store, the current price is $1.99.

Capable of correcting and creating highly artistic videos, VideoGrade is a complete suite of tools for editing their image attributes. The update includes new editing tools, performance improvements and optimizations for iOS 6. VideoGrade 2 also features a new user interface optimized for all the iOS devices screens.

Zaragoza, Spain - VideoGrade is a complete suite of color grading tools for adjusting the image on videos. Separate, continuously variable controls allow the user to adjust: exposure, contrast, vibrance, color temperature, brightness, shadows and highlights recovery, saturation, black and white transformations, color channels mixing, vignetting and color tints. Capable of correcting common defects like poor lightning, low contrast or color shifts, VideoGrade is also capable of creating highly artistic videos by applying dramatic effects. VideoGrade supports videos of any resolution and aspect ratio recorded by the iDevice on which it is installed, and can also import videos via iTunes sync.

Feature Highlights:
* Color correct any video recorded with (or synchronized to) the iOS device easily.
* Exports videos in Full HD (1080p, only available for iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and the new iPad), HD (720p) or other resolutions. [Export resolution is limited by the resolution of the original video].
* Eleven high-quality filters that provide all the necessary to enhance or radically transform any video: Exposure, Contrast, Vibrance, Color Temperature, Brightness, Recovery, Saturation, B&W, Channel Mixer, Vignette and Tint.
* Realtime preview of the video image, color histograms, clipping previews and split mode for comparison.
* Preset functionality for saving favorite adjustments.
* Smart rendering engine for fast video processing.
* Video frame capture.

VideoGrade is designed to be easy to use, while retaining a large amount of freedom. All the adjustments are highly configurable, providing a wide range of outputs; some of them feature an advanced mode that can be used to apply different transformations to each of the image areas (highlights, mid-tones or shadows), giving a great control over the final result.

The most immediate use for VideoGrade is to improve the image quality of the videos: it can easily correct frequent issues like bad lightning, poor contrast or color shifts. The Recovery adjustment gives the possibility to selectively recover blown-out highlights or enlighten shadows, while the Color Temperature adjustment gives an easy way to correct wrong white balances.

Additionally, VideoGrade can be used to totally modify the look of the videos, changing their mood or giving them any of the cinematographic looks of the most popular films.

During the whole editing process, the app provides a constant feedback of how the video will look like with the current settings, making much easier to get the desired results. VideoGrade also can display additional information like color histograms, shadows and highlights clippings and a split view mode to compare the video with and without the adjustments.

The export process automatically decides the optimal resolution, frame rate and bit rate, although the user can modify any of those values. Processed videos are directly saved to the device's Camera Roll.

Language Support:
* U.S. English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), iPad 2nd/3rd/4th and the iPad Mini

* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices

Drawing With Leo Free on iPad: Learn to Draw Animals with Leo the Pencil - Published on 04/16/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AppKey today announces Drawing With Leo 1.2.2 free for iPad, an update to his art education app for kids, where Leo the pencil gives an animated demo of how to draw an animal and then guides kids step-by-step as they draw it themselves. Kids can choose from different colored pencils and line thicknesses, and they can refer to the humorous text instructions while working on their drawing. Finished pictures can be saved in the app's Gallery, to Photos, or emailed.

Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation - AppKey today is pleased to announce Drawing With Leo 1.2.2 free for iPad, an update to his art education app for kids, where Leo the pencil gives an animated demonstration of how to draw a funny animal, and then he guides kids step-by-step as they draw it themselves. Young artists can choose from different colored pencils, line thicknesses, and an eraser, and they can refer to the humorous text instructions while working on their drawing. Finished pictures can be saved in the app's Gallery, to Photos, or emailed. With music and sound effects, the app also includes a free-style mode, where kids can draw anything they like.

Feature Highlights:
* Follow Leo and draw everything step by step
* Discover 50 interactive "how-to-draw" lessons
* Read funny comments and instructions
* 16 different colored pencils, four line thicknesses, eraser, undo, and clear
* Draw in free-style drawing mode without unnecessary hints
* Save your drawings in a gallery and return to them whenever you want
* Save your drawings in a Photos gallery
* Send your drawings by email
* Includes illustrated tutorial

Drawing With Leo reveals to kids the secrets that cartoonists have used for decades to create lively, imaginative drawings of cartoon characters. Beginning with the face of a bunny rabbit, kids discover that every drawing is the result of a logical, additive process. By showing how the finished drawing is constructed from a series of simpler drawings, Leo provides the key to unlock the creativity of each child. An expert drawing of a curious elephant is like a magic trick; the magician/artist has created an illusion, and the audience/young artist cannot figure out how it was done. Drawing With Leo is the ideal app for kids who want to amaze with art magic of their own.

For example, the first drawing album begins with how to draw the face of a happy bunny. The first step is drawing two ears, and step two adds the head. Third is the nose, and fourth are the whiskers. The fifth step adds the eyes, sixth is the smile, and last are the bunny's teeth. From here, the second project demonstrates in 12 steps how to draw a complete bunny, including its body, arms, legs, and carrot.

The app features both humorous, written instructions with illustrations as well as a speedy, fast-motion animation of Leo executing each step to create a finished drawing. After Leo has finished, kids can touch a button to begin drawing. The finished drawing disappears, and in its place is a just step one, which appears as a thin, broken line to guide the student. Kids can select any colored pencil and any thickness to trace over the guideline. The app includes unlimited undos to step backward and an eraser to remove unwanted lines. When they are satisfied, kids touch a button, Leo draws step two at normal speed, which dissolves and leaves behind another broken guideline. Results are spectacular, well worth saving and sharing.

"'Mom, can you draw a cat?' or 'Dad, draw an elephant please!' - but what do you do if you don't know how to draw?!" asked Alexander Chernyshev of AppKey. "Leo the pencil will teach you and your children how to draw a giraffe, a bunny, a snail or a wolf in less than a minute, step by step. Just follow Leo and you'll find out how to draw funny animals quickly and easily, on screen or on paper."

Language Support:
* English and Russian

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

Pricing and Availability:
Drawing With Leo 1.2.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Full drawing albums can be unlocked as an in-app purchase for $0.99 each.
