New Firefighter App is Five Alarm Fun! - Published on 04/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fire Dog Apps today announces Firefighter Knowledge Challenge 1.2 for iOS updating its app that features hundreds of questions that test the user's knowledge about several fire department-related subjects. Subjects include: tools & equipment, ICS, fire behavior, ropes & knots, EMS, fire prevention, fire protection systems, building construction, HazMat, etc. Featuring rounds of timed trivia and photo questions, players can race against the clock or compete with other players for the top ranking.

Fresno, California - Fire Dog Apps today announces Firefighter Knowledge Challenge 1.2 for iOS, an update to its game that features 750 questions that test the user's knowledge about several fire department-related subjects. Categories include: tools & equipment, Incident Command System, fire behavior & science, ropes & knots, Emergency Medical Services, fire prevention, fire protection systems, building construction,Hazardous Materials, and more. Featuring rounds of timed trivia and photo questions, players can race against the clock or compete with other players for the top ranking.

Feature Highlights:
* Over 750 random questions to choose from with more added over time
* Each round has 10 questions including two photo questions and 1 bonus question
* Each question is timed and points are awarded based on how fast you answer
* Controls for music and sound effects
* Leader board to track your personal progress and rank among other players
* Great graphics and sound effects
* In-game leaderboard that ranks top 50 players
* Stat page to monitor your overall stats
* Competition among other players
* 3 different play modes
* Badges awarded as you score points
* Post your graphic game achievement directly to Facebook and Twitter

Providing exciting gameplay for any player as well as firefighters, Firefighter Knowledge Challenge is a single player quiz game. With a storehouse of more than 750 questions, the app offers three different modes of gameplay: Standard, Random Challenge, or Selected Challenge. Standard play consists of 10 randomly selected, multiple-choice questions. After players read the question, they have 15 seconds to select the correct answer from four possible choices. Standard play features 10 questions chosen randomly from all the app's categories. In Random Challenge mode, players are quizzed only within one category. And in Selected Challenge mode, players are quizzed only within one category of their choice.

During Standard play, questions are worth 50 points each, and the last question (Bonus Round) is worth 150 points. If the "Time Left" drops below 10 seconds, then each second reduces the Question's point value by 10%. In this way, players are encouraged to answer within five seconds to receive the full 50 points. Standard questions lose 5 points per second as the game counts down from 10 to 0. Correct answers add the weighted point value to the player's score, while incorrect answers deduct 10 points from the player's total. Guessing is advised, as no answer to a question deducts 25 points. A perfect score is 450 150=600 points.

In Random Challenge or Selected Challenge mode, the 15-second time limit remains, but scoring is simplified. Players receive one point for each correct answer and no penalty for an incorrect answer. Incorrectly answered questions are recycled and can be randomly asked again. The goal in Challenge mode is to answer all of the questions within the category correctly, continuing to play until no more questions remain.

A most unusual trivia game, Firefighter Knowledge Challenge does contain questions from a wide variety of fields, but they all have one thing in common: it's fun! Though within a gaming context the queries may be considered trivia, their import may be anything but trivial. Both casual players and firefighters can learn new facts, while testing their mastery of the basics in a variety of categories.

Ideal for friendly competition within and between firehouses, the game includes its own Leaderboard and Challenges. After each game, the player's Nickname, Fire Department affiliation, and final score are displayed. The top three scores to beat are displayed at the start of each Standard game.

"Imagine that each answer you give is a life or death decision," commented a spokesperson for Fire Dog Apps. "The clock is ticking."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 56.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:

App Store Most Awarded Baby Monitor 3G is coming to the Mac - Published on 04/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

After great success with iOS version, Baby Monitor 3G is coming to the Macintosh. Packed with same rich features, including video transmission from Baby Station, 2-way audio communication and support for all types of networks. The new dedicated version for Mac computers brings you greater flexibility as it gives busy parents the freedom to work on their computer while simultaneously keeping an eye on their child. Only a Mac and one iOS device required, so no additional hardware is needed.

Prague, Czech Republic - After only one year on the market, the Baby Monitor 3G currently keeps an eye on more than 200,000 babies, giving their parents time to work or relax, safe in the knowledge that their baby is being closely monitored. It is the only parenting application to have been selected as 'Editor's Choice', and the App Store's 'Best of 2012'; and now, the Baby Monitor 3G finds its way to the Mac OS X.

The Baby Monitor 3G app was a first-of-its-kind app which worked on both WiFi and on cellular networks. It originally required two iOS devices: the first device stays in the child's room to monitor, while the other device remains with the parents; but now, the new dedicated version for Mac computers brings you greater flexibility as it gives busy parents the freedom to work on their computer while simultaneously keeping an eye on their child. This functionality also reduces the need of having a second iOS device.

"We didn't want to just port the mobile application to the Mac, instead we have handcrafted a brand new user interface. You can either watch full-screen video from your child's room, or you can focus on working on your computer and be alerted only when your child is awake. The Baby Monitor 3G will always fit the needs of parents", said Jindrich Sarson, father of three, and CEO of TappyTaps, the company behind the Baby Monitor 3G.

With the Baby Monitor 3G for the Mac parents can:
* Rest or work while their baby sleeps - safe in the knowledge that they will hear every single noise from the child's room
* See live video of their child - during the day, or via the Night Light feature which makes it possible to view your baby during night time
* Communicate - talk to and soothe their baby remotely from your Mac
* Adjust the user interface to their own requirements - either having full-screen video, or a smaller window in the corner of the screen enabling you to keep one-eye on your baby at all times

Other great features are:
* Unlimited reach - thanks to the WiFi and cellular network support
* Reliability and security - communication is encrypted by industry-standard SSL and the app always alerts you in the event of a problem with the network connection

Supported languages:
* US English, French, German, Czech

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.7.5 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 14.5 MB

Pricing and availability:
Baby Monitor 3G 1.0 for Mac is available for $4.99 (USD) worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Lifestyle category. The Baby Monitor 3G for iOS runs on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch (iOS 5.1 and higher) and is available through App Store for $3.99. Review copies are available on request.

Edward Tsang, Producer of many successful apps such as 'Where To Eat?' and 'Where To Go?' has developed 'Awesome Wallpaper Retina' App. The app is released today and aims to give iOS users an almost limitless supply of high definition, high quality wallpaper images to choose from or rotate between. The app is free to download.

Edward Tsang, Producer of many successful apps such as 'Where To Eat?' and 'Where To Go?' has developed 'Awesome Wallpaper Retina' App. The app is released today and aims to give iOS users an almost limitless supply of high definition, high quality wallpaper images to choose from or rotate between. The app is free to download.

Commented Tsang, "Awesome Wallpaper Retina boasts a lot of cool features such as previewing the selected wallpaper in Home Screen & Lock Screen, and allowing sharing of images to Facebook and Twitter. Rest assured that you will end up with a nice looking interface."

With a collection of at least 1,000,000 quality images hand picked by professionals and a wide range of categories, you can rely that you will get only desirable wallpapers from this app.

Wallpaper apps are an increasing popular type of app, driven in part by Apple's constant improvement of screen resolutions. When using the retina screen developers are frequently discovering that users have a high demand for images that match the quality of the hardware. Apps that release images that appear fuzzy or pixelated simply fail to get reloaded by the user.

For this reason, the focus of the development team working on the Awesome Wallpaper Retina app was not just to ensure they deliver a enormous variety of images (over 1 million of them) but also to ensure they meet the required standards of sharp definition and image quality that iOS users have come to expect.

Multiple game modes combine with Game Center local and online multiplayer and a novel email challenge mode which allows you to get the two player experience while in single player mode, without requiring Game Center or any other connection. Achievements and an ever expanding cache of games being added keep things fresh and fun.

Version 1.0 highlights:
* Classic mode, aim for the most words or the highest score
* Beat The Clock, devilishly challenging quick-fire rounds against the clock
* Use Game Center to play real-time against friends or a random player from anywhere in the world
* Local Bluetooth and WiFi multiplayer for face-to-face battles
* Send challenges by email from within the app to other AmaiS players, even if they don't use Game Center
* In-game power-ups change out the letters or add some vital time to the game
* During two player matches power-ups can freeze an opponent out for a few seconds
* Online leader-boards and achievements

* Optimized for iPhone 5 and iPod touch Fifth Generation

MiTapes for iPhone - Bring Back the Art of Making Mixtapes - Published on 04/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Raphael Villareal introduces MiTapes 1.0.1, a music player app for iPhone that allows you to create mixtapes just as you did on cassette tapes back in the day. MiTapes recreates the experience of compiling an old-school mixtape by replicating a cassette tape, complete with side A and B and limited running time. Using the songs in your music library, you can create a collection of mixtapes, compiling that perfect mix of songs to suit a particular mood, occasion or person.

Sydney, Australia - Available today, MiTapes is a music player app for iPhone that allows you to create mixtapes, just as you did on cassette tapes back in the day. Using the songs in your iPhone music library, you can create a collection of mixtapes, compiling that perfect mix of songs to suit a particular mood, occasion or person.

Independent developer Raphael Villareal developed the app as a way to recreate the experience of compiling mixtapes from the days of cassette tapes. "I used to spend countless hours making mixtapes back in the day, labouring over crafting that perfect mix of songs. I want to bring that back".

Features:
* Select tracks from your iPhone's music library
* Each tape has a limited running time of 60, 90 or 120 minutes
* Each tape has two sides, A and B
* All tapes are displayed in an old school tape rack
* Each tape has its own cover displaying the tracklist with handwritten labels
* Mixtapes are played in a music player that looks and behaves just like a cassette tape - spinning cogs, handwritten tape labels, and even switching between side A and B

Raphael added, "The constraints of a cassette tape were what made making mixtapes an art. You can make a digital playlist in seconds these days, but with mixtapes you had to consider not just track selection but tape length and song order as well. MiTapes allows you to do just that".

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 Gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 6.8 MB

Pricing and availability:
MiTapes 1.0.1 is $0.99 USD and is available worldwide on the App Store in the Music category.

Teacher's Pet - An iPhone Productivity App for Educators - Now Available - Published on 04/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tinkertanker today introduces Teacher's Pet 1.0, a contextual task list and reminders app for the iPhone, carefully designed to help educators do their jobs more effectively. Teacher's Pet knows all about context for teachers: exactly what classes they're in, which students they're teaching, when their next classes are. This context makes Teacher's Pet extremely effective at helping teachers capture notes and act on reminders. Teachers may set up as many classes or student groups as necessary.

Singapore - Tinkertanker Pte. Ltd. today is thrilled to introduce Teacher's Pet, a contextual task list and reminders app for the iPhone. The app, carefully designed to help educators do their jobs more effectively, knows all about context for teachers -- what classes they're in, which students they're teaching, when their next classes are - and using this context, helps teachers act quickly and remember effortlessly.

Teacher's Pet is a tool to address familiar classroom scenarios: (a) a student misbehaves in class, but after a quick telling-off, the teacher never follows up again; (b) some students didn't bring their homework, and the teacher has to note these down on a scrap of paper, and hopefully she'll remember to ask for them next lesson; (c) two students helped carry a teacher's books to class, but he never quite got around to taking down their names to write a commendation to their class teacher.

Teachers know that being able to track and act on student behavior, effectively and in a timely manner, helps them do their jobs better. Before, teachers have had to rely on pen and paper or generic note-taking apps to take such notes. Now with Teacher's Pet, an app purpose-built to help make this process easier, teachers will be encouraged to do more note-taking on student behavior, while also being reminded to act on these tasks at the right time.

Features:
* Quick, contextual data entry: Teacher's Pet always knows what class to bring up, so teachers are only a few taps away from taking notes on their students
* Timely reminder notifications: Teacher's Pet will send reminders when they usually matter: at the next class, the next day, or at any custom time
* Simple and fluid setup: Enter classes, schedule, and students with ease
* Multiple classes and timeslots: Set up as many classes or student groups as necessary, with flexible scheduling options
* To-dos at a glance: See what tasks are past due, coming up today, and scheduled for the future
* Favorites: Teachers with students who always need reminding about homework can set up 'favorites' with pre-filled fields, and create tasks for these students in two taps
* Elegant interface: Color-coded classes in a visually pleasing UI to help teachers keep focused on their tasks

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation)
* Runs on iPad as an iPhone app
* Optimized for iPhone 5 and retina display
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Size: 5.1MB

Pricing and Availability:
Teacher's Pet 1.0 is available at $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Education category.

FileMaker Design Studios Scheduled for Oakland - Published on 04/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Craft of FileMaker announced they will be hosting their next Design Studio for FileMaker developers June 4 - 6 in Oakland California. This three day training will be lead by veteran FileMaker Developer's Conference Speaker, Don Levan, President of Vanguard Custom Software and Founder of the Craft of FileMaker. Attendees will learn a formal process and set of practices for designing exceptional applications and interfaces.

Ardsley, New York - The Craft of FileMaker announced they will be hosting their next Design Studio for FileMaker Developers June 4th - 6th in Oakland, California. This intensive, three day, learning experience will be lead by veteran FileMaker Developer's Conference Speaker Don Levan, President of Vanguard Custom Software and Founder of the Craft of FileMaker.

The Design Studio:
Whether they have been developing software for 20-years, or are just getting started, attendees will learn a formal process and set of practices for designing exceptional applications and interfaces during this three-day experiential studio.

Day 1: Discovery & Specification:
* Creating project briefs
* Conducting design research
* Deriving requirements from personas and scenarios

Day 2: Framework Definition:
* Storyboarding user flows
* Creating lo-fidelity sketches and prototypes
* Usability testing designs

Day 3: Detail Design & Review:
* Using feedback to improve the solution
* Creating a style guide
* Polishing the interface

Ten FileMaker Inc. staff have attended the Design Studio. Jesse Barnum, President of 360Works, had this to say of the The Design Studio, "This workshop really helped us in the design of the document check-in screen of DocuBin. After implementing what we learned, we simplified, re-worded, and rearranged the buttons so that the result of each choice is much more obvious. It's little touches like this that make any software appealing, both to look at and to use."

How can learning this design process help developers?
Developing Scenarios, utilizing constraints, lo-fidelity sketching, finding design patterns, prototyping, usability testing...each of these practices helps a developer turn initial ideas into fantastic solutions. When these practices are put together in a repeatable process, a developer can reliably produce great work while saving money and delivering on time. They also foster cooperation with their clients and users, and sell better projects.

Who is teaching this course?
Dr. Don Levan, President of Vanguard Custom Software and the founder of The Design Studio is a software designer, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, FileMaker Certified Developer, and former photojournalist. Dr. Levan has spoken at the past three FileMaker Developer Conferences and has provided design consulting to FileMaker, Inc.

What are past attendees saying?
"This course is a must-have for all serious developers." - Paul Spafford, FM Layoutmode online.

"This workshop changed the way I work forever!" - Marty Thomasson, Gearbox Solutions

"Absolutely fantastic material, professionally delivered." - James Hea, Project Manager, FileMaker Systems at HSBC Bank Bermuda Limited

"I would wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to any serious FileMaker developer trying to bring the best user experience possible to his or her clients." - Richard Carlton, President of Carlton Consulting, Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance

"This workshop provided clear and tangible examples and exercises that engaged us to rethink how we approach requirements gathering and dovetail that into intentional system design." - Adam Aronson, President of FullCity Consulting, Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance

"The workshop was fun and stimulating and will raise the game of those who care about designing databases at the highest level... I learned a lot in a short time." - Doug Gardner, President of Exoteric, Six-time speaker at the FileMaker Developer's Conference

"It's a 'must do' for FileMaker developers who do not have a background in formal software development. It will save them and their clients much time and aggravation if they apply the process presented in the workshop. Otherwise, they will repeatedly re-invent the common mistakes inherent in a free-form design development process." - Dale Stuart, Ph.D., Sc.D., President, CEO, StarQuick Solutions, Inc., Makers of TheraQuick

"The Design Studio introduced me to a workable process, enabling me to understand clients' problems more thoroughly, and design solutions more effectively." - Barb Levine, President of Microserve, LLC, Platinum member of the FileMaker Business Alliance

"The design studio helped me approach things in a different way that forced me to actually think outside the box. I think it is giving me a better product for the client at the end of the day. It's a great class." - Allan Mowat, President, Nevis Associates, Inc.

What does The Design Studio cost?
Registration for the Studio is $1,499.00 USD. Attendees can receive a $300 discount if they register early. For more information about the discount, please visit The Design Studio's homepage.

What else do attendees need to know?
The Studio will run from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. each day. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptop computers. Paper, sharpies, sticky notes, and six-up templates will be provided.

Wanderful Releases Free Storybook Sampler for Mac OSX - Published on 04/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wanderful Interactive Storybooks today introduces the Storybook Sampler 1.0, featuring pages from the Wanderful interactive storybooks, originally published as Living Books. The free app, now available on the Mac App Store, includes a fully interactive page from the most popular Wanderful storybooks, including Arthur's Birthday, The Berenstain Bears Get In a Fight, Little Monster at School, Tortoise and the Hare, plus the award-winning Arthur's Teacher Trouble and Harry and the Haunted House.

San Francisco, California - Wanderful Interactive Storybooks, a leader in developing storybook apps for today's digital kids, today introduced the Wanderful Storybook Sampler 1.0 for Mac OS X, featuring pages from the Wanderful interactive storybooks, originally published as Living Books.

The free app, now available on the Mac App Store, includes a fully interactive page from the most popular Wanderful storybooks, including Arthur's Birthday, The Berenstain Bears Get In a Fight, Little Monster at School, Tortoise and the Hare, Ruff's Bone plus the award-winning Arthur's Teacher Trouble and Harry and the Haunted House.

Each page in the Storybook Sampler is fully interactive, just like in Wanderful's complete storybooks; and virtually everything on the page comes to life when clicked. Every word is clickable and all words were recorded twice - once for story mode and once so children can build their language skills and create their own phrases. The app is "hosted" by Simon, the narrator from Wanderful's classic version of the Aesop's fable Tortoise and the Hare. For teachers, the Storybook Sampler also includes an Overview of Wanderful's Classroom Activities guides and a preview of the Classroom Activities guide for one of the storybooks as PDF documents. The curriculum plans based on the storybook themes in the Classroom Activities guides are aligned with the new USA Common Core State Standards.

"The Storybook Sampler lets families and teachers try out all our apps with one simple download," said Wanderful Founder and CEO Mickey W. Mantle. "It's an engaging story experience with over 300 interactive elements, plus, options for parents to customize the app for their children's learning styles and easy links to the full versions of their kids' favorite stories. The release of the Storybook Sampler provides a great way for Mac users to sample the Wanderful interactive storybooks, which was previously only available to iOS users."

Wanderful apps are highly intuitive and encourage children to explore each storybook page for all its hidden content. With hundreds of interactive antics per app, the storybooks provide a richer interactive experience on one page than many other story apps offer in an entire book. The storybooks are in English, with most storybooks also having one or more additional languages (Spanish, French or Brazilian Portuguese), which can be dynamically selected from any page. A corresponding 38-70 page Classroom Activities guide, aligned with the Common Core State Standards, is included with each app.

System Requirements:
* Requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* 54.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Storybook Sampler 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Education category.

Originally introduced in 1992 by Broderbund Software, Living Books were the industry's first highly interactive storybooks and embraced by educators, praised by parents and cherished by children. Twenty years later Mickey W. Mantle, the former Broderbund CTO who oversaw the technology development for the original interactive storybooks founded Wanderful and assembled key members of the original team, including Living Books creator Mark Schlichting, to re-invent the wildly popular interactive storybooks.

Sydney, Australia - App marketing companies may find themselves in trouble with the launch of ReleaseMyApp, a new smart app marketing provider that aims to revolutionise the way app developers use app marketing services.

ReleaseMyApp is a new startup launching in Australia, where its founder, Gabriel Machuret, is aiming to provide affordable app marketing services at one standard rate.

During the last two years, we have seen a rise in the number of marketing agencies charging thousands of dollars for app PR service, making it very challenging for app developers to dive into commercial marketing services - says Gabriel Machuret founder of ReleaseMyApp online.

ReleaseMyApp's main goal is to provide a wide range of marketing services for a once off fee of $49.00 USD. For just $49.00, developers will be able to hire the ReleaseMyApp team for a wide range of services including: icon design, landing pages, app localisation or they can even get their app optimised with the latest app store optimisation techniques.

This type of service hopes to provide real value that will allow indie developers to regain the trust in app marketing providers. ReleaseMyApp's final objective is to debunk the concept that to achieve results in marketing in the app industry, you need to pay a fortune to PR agencies.

Gabriel Machuret is an app store optimisation consultant who has worked with over 100 app companies to provide actionable marketing strategies and app store optimisation services. He believes in empowering developers to be the master of their own marketing by providing tools, strategies and training. Copyright (C) 2013 Gabriel Machuret. All Rights Reserved.
