IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reviva Softworks today announces that its best-selling medical app, SnoreLab 1.5.1 for iOS, has surpassed 100,000 downloads, putting it in the Top 10 of all apps in the Medical category in 14 countries. Easy to use and requiring no calibration, the app records samples of the user's snoring throughout the night and provides a detailed analysis and a Snore Score. The app also tracks the effectiveness of snoring remedies as well as the effect of alcohol and other factors.

London, United Kingdom - Reviva Softworks today is pleased to announce that its best-selling medical app, SnoreLab 1.5.1 for iOS, has surpassed 100,000 downloads, putting it in the Top 10 of all apps in the Medical category in 14 countries. Easy to use and requiring no calibration, the app records samples of the user's snoring throughout the night and provides a complete analysis and a Snore Score. The app also provides a list of common snoring remedies and tracks their effectiveness, as well as the effect of alcohol and other factors on the user's snoring.

Feature Highlights:
* Records samples of a person's snoring
* Measures snoring intensity over a night (Snore Score)
* Shows when and how loudly the user snored
* Tracks the user's Snore Score over multiple nights
* Measures the effectiveness of snoring remedies
* Tracks how factors such as drinking alcohol affect a person's snoring
* Provides information about snoring remedies
* Clear instructions
* Easy to use, no calibration needed
* Currently listed in What's Hot in the Medical Category in 27 App Stores worldwide
* 100,000+ downloads with an average user rating of 4.7
* Have a good laugh listening to yourself snore

Using SnoreLab is as easy as entering the monitoring mode and placing the iDevice face down on a nightstand near the sleeper. It is recommended that the device remain plugged in to its AC adapter. When the user wakes, he or she ends the monitoring session by touching a button. SnoreLab displays a graph of the subject's snoring through the night, showing the number, duration, and severity of snoring episodes. This provides the user with an objective, scientific, graph, which can be used for comparison with other graphs saved over time.

Actual recorded snoring sounds made throughout the night are also available for listening. Beneath the graph, the app displays the following: what time the subject went to bed and what time he or she woke up; total hours and minutes monitored; time spent snoring in hours and minutes and as a percentage of total time asleep; Snore Score, the app's own comparative measure of snoring intensity, where a score of 100 puts the subject in the top 10% of those with the most severe snoring problem, a score of 50 ranks in the 65th percentile, and a score of 25 in the 40th percentile (50% of the general population earn a Snore Score of 34 or lower); and a notation of any remedies or special factors that may have influenced the graph and score.

SnoreLab includes a comprehensive list of remedies that may be helpful in reducing snoring. Users may tap one or more items in the list prior to a monitoring session, so that information is included in the Night Analysis window. For each of the 10 remedies listed, there is a brief description of its proper use and those most likely to benefit from its use. The app also allows users to enter their own remedies into the list. The scrolling list of Remedies includes the following: aromatherapy, body pillow, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy, where the user wears a mask connected to an air pump), mouthpiece, nasal dilator, nasal spray, nasal strip, neti pot, surgery, and throat spray.

Similarly, SnoreLab includes a comprehensive list of pre-sleep factors that may affect snoring. Again, users may tap one or more items in the list prior to a monitoring session, so that information is included in the saved Night Analysis report. The scrolling list of Factors to which users can add custom entries includes the following: alcohol, hot bath, blocked nose, caffeine, exhaustion, heavy meal, sedatives, hot shower, and smoking.

"One of SnoreLab's key innovations is the Snore Score: SnoreLab's measure of snoring intensity over a night," commented Jules Goldberg of Reviva Softworks. "By tracking a user's Snore Score through time, SnoreLab builds up a picture showing what lifestyle factors makes the users snoring worse and which remedies are effective at reducing it. Many SnoreLab users have reported that they have successfully found effective remedies for their snoring through using the app, others have been motivated to consult their doctor for a professional assessment, while many have just had a good laugh at hearing themselves snore!"

Doctor Asks, Do You Have the Parenting Skills to Prevent iPad Addiction? - Published on 05/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. S, eminent psychiatrist and media specialist, today continued his campaign, alerting parents to the dangers of unsupervised use of iPads by kids. Citing a recent headline from The NY Daily News, "Hooked on the iPad: Technology Addiction Affects Children as Young as 4, Experts Say," Dr. S restated his message that touchscreen devices, with their irresistible interactivity, lights, colors and sound can potentially pose serious dangers to the mental health and cognitive development of children.

Wilmette, Illinois - Dr. S, eminent psychiatrist and media specialist, today continued his public health campaign: 1) alerting parents to the dangers of unsupervised use of iPads by kids; and 2) urging the embedding of media management in family life starting at the youngest age possible. Citing a recent headline on April 23rd in The NY Daily News, "Hooked on the iPad: Technology Addiction Affects Children as Young as 4, Experts Say," Dr. S restated his message that touchscreen devices, with their irresistible interactivity, lights, colors, and sounds can potentially pose serious dangers to the mental health and cognitive development of children. He cautioned, "Parents who just hand the iPad to youngsters are asking for trouble, because kids seem wired to love and follow the iPad iPiper, like many eager adults."

Dr. S is confident that preventing iPad addiction and overconsumption of media is well within the skills of modern parents. Recognizing that their children's iPad use requires supervision is the essential first step. According to Dr. S, "Parents need to see the issues inherent in the kid-tech encounter more clearly against a backdrop of child development and brain maturation. They need to believe they can be effective. Then they need to adopt a sensible, systematic and rational system of thinking, much as they do for meal planning, not merely relying on antiquated rules or piecemeal advice. This is not the same as policing, but additionally calls for providing healthy, growth promoting content. Professionals can help parents by providing convenient 'white lists' of vetted content in a technologically protected 'sandbox.'"

In practical terms, Dr. S offers the following advice:

* "Interactive technology belongs in children's lives only if it is balanced in appropriate content and time spent with healthy activities and customized for each child's needs. Parents must prevent excessive, sedentary, lone media consumption by youngsters and favor face to face time and physical play."

* "Be ready to invest extra effort. Paradoxically, technology is not necessarily convenient, but adds to the challenges of parenting, and is not the ideal, convenient babysitter so many parents relish. Keeping kids busy is not necessarily good parenting."

* "Your own attitudes towards media may be obstacles to good example-setting. Parents may already be biased: the same candy-colored, magically engaging, sleekly enticing computing machines invented by our wonderful, most talented, brilliant cultural icons have, admittedly, already seduced many into a dependency. Awareness, self-monitoring, and discipline are hard to maintain."

* "Children need us to remember they are our children. Technology does not relieve us of our duty to kids. They need us to stay in control (or take it back), as we return to sound child rearing principles in all areas of their lives, including the massive area of media consumption. And the younger they are, the more they need our caregiving to focus in this area."

Dr. S is Eitan Schwarz MD, who is board certified in both General and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. For over 40 years in practice face to face with kids and families, he is on the faculty of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, and he is a recognized expert in consumption of media by children and families and digital media in play therapy. In 2010, Dr. Schwarz published his "Kids, Parents, and Technology: A Guide for Young Families" and recently invented ZillyDilly for iPad, to transform the book's concepts into working tools for parents and teachers managing kids' media.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 0.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ZillyDilly for iPad 2.3 is $3.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Review copies are available on request.

Wordchampion Word Game - Great New App by JH Digital Solutions - Published on 05/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JH Digital Solutions introduces Wordchampion 1.0, their newest addicting wordplay app developed for iOS devices. Featuring an internal dictionary of over 180,000 English words, Wordchampion is a fun mix of Scrabble and Tetris that is appropriate for people of all ages. The goal of this game is to find as many words as possible to prevent your screen from filling up with letters. Test your skills as you play against yourself, your friends and family, or people around the world.

Imatra, Finland - Are you a word champion? Do words come easily and naturally to you? If so, JH Digital Solutions' newest app, Wordchampion, will be a perfect match for you. Put your word search skills to use in a fresh, competitive, and exciting new environment.

If this happens, your game will end, and you'll have to start over from the beginning!

Competition becomes a key motivator as soon as you get the hang of this fun yet challenging game. Not only can you compete against your own high score like you would in Tetris, but you can compete against other people's high scores as well, just like you would in a game of Scrabble. With access to the Internet, you will be able to see what high scores there are around the world. Challenge yourself; can you beat the top player in Finland?

Proficiency is a vital skill needed to perform well in this game, and the game itself will not let you down. JH Digital Solutions as equipped Wordchampion with an internal dictionary of over 180,000 English words, so you can use words like "queue" and "haberdashery" to your heart's content.

The iMums Feature Speech Therapy Apps for Better Hearing and Speech - Published on 05/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The iMums will feature reviews of speech therapy apps, resources, tips, and question-and-answer sessions with speech and language therapists. Two weeks of news, sales, promo codes and giveaways of apps used for speech therapy is the highlight of "Let's Talk: Speech and Communication." The iMums promotion will start May 1st and end May 14 on the inaugural Apraxia Awareness Day. The iMums site also features reviews of educational apps for children with other special needs.

San Francisco, California - May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, and The iMums, founded by four tech-savvy moms from four corners of the globe, will feature reviews of speech therapy apps, resources, tips, and question-and-answer sessions with speech and language therapists.

"We want to highlight the apps and speech therapists who are making a real difference in the lives of children who have speech disorders," said iMum Mary Mahon. Mahon has a six-year-old daughter with Childhood Apraxia of Speech, a severe speech disorder where the child has great difficulty planning and producing the series of movements that are necessary for intelligible speech. Three of the four iMums have children in speech therapy, Mahon said. "This is a cause that is near and dear to our hearts," she said. "I first got interested in apps because of my daughter's Apraxia. She was three years old and needed to do home speech therapy practice every day, but she really resisted. The iPad got her interested in doing her therapy, and willing to do her daily practice."

The iMums promotion will start May 1st and end May 14 on the inaugural Apraxia Awareness Day. Participating developers include: Hamaguchi Apps, Pocket SLP, Little Bee Speech, Tactus Therapy Solutions, Virtual Speech Center, Avaz for Autism, Blue Whale Apps, Multimedia Speech Pathology, Mobile Education Store, Close 2 Home Apps, Speechbox, Abilipad, SpeechPups, Global Augmentative, PlaneTree Family Productions, Smarty Ears, Foundations Developmental House, Mobile Education Store and many more!

"This is all a celebration of speech therapy and a thank you to all the therapists who make such a difference for our children", said Mahon, who will speak about apps and tablets at the Childhood Apraxia of Speech of North America's annual conference in Denver, Colorado this summer.

The iMums site also features reviews of educational apps for children with other special needs as well as for the typically developing child. The iMums, four moms from four corners of the earth, met online while searching for and reviewing apps for their own children. In 2011, they formed a children's tech review site to help parents and educators find the best educational apps and technology products.

The iMums are founder Amanda Powell of Australia, Alison Hirst of the U.S., Grace Shirley Chong of Singapore and Mahon, a United Kingdom native now living in the U.S. Collectively, the group has 11 children ages 2 to 18. The iMums also feature developer interviews, articles and news, and they sponsor Freebie Fridays where they give away promo codes for kids' apps, and highlight free and sale apps in the marketplace. Additional app developers are welcome to join by contacting Mary Mahon for more information.

The iMums are four mothers from different parts of the world dedicated to informing parents about the best digital stories, educational apps, fun games and technology products available for their family. With eleven children between them ranging in age from one to 18, all of which use varying types of technology devices, and over 15,000 apps collectively, The iMums feel they are more than qualified for their job.

Pocket Analytics for iPhone: On-the-Go Access to Many Analytics Services - Published on 05/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Consolidating access to a wide range of analytics services into a single app, Pocket Analytics 1.0 was designed specifically to make the process of checking the status of key metrics more efficient & the data more relevant. The app is extremely flexible in allowing the user to customize how their data is presented & each from a different account with a different service. Users can also create their own tabs in the app to construct mini dashboards for related metrics from their accounts and more.

Suffern, New York - Pocket Logic LLC announced this week the launch of a mobile application - Pocket Analytics - designed for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. The aim of Pocket Analytics is to consolidate access to a wide range of analytics services into a single app, thereby making the process of checking key metrics more efficient and the data more relevant.

"The idea really grew out of a need to track performance of our own apps, and our clients' web and mobile properties," says Jack Roberts, Product Manager at Pocket Logic LLC. "We were constantly switching between different apps on our phones, and also checking various websites. When all you want is a quick status check, it's cumbersome and takes too long."

Pocket Analytics provides access to a user's accounts on a variety of 3rd party services, allowing access to:
* Sales and app store data from appFigures and App Annie;
* App analytics from Flurry and Google Analytics;
* Website analytics from Google Analytics, Piwik and Clicky;
* Link sharing metrics from Bitly and AddThis;
* Social insights from Facebook Insights; and
* Uptime information from Pingdom.

The app is extremely flexible in allowing the user to customize how their data is presented - website visitor statistics can be placed next to app store sales data, which in turn can be next to link sharing metrics - each from a different account with a different service.

Users can also create their own tabs in the app to construct mini dashboards for related metrics from their accounts. Users then choose the graphs and charts to add to each tab and can arrange them using a simple drag and drop mechanism.

Users are able to view current, average, maximum, and total values for all metrics, as well as generate trend lines. Additionally, users can compare historical daily values across metrics from different accounts and services by simply tapping on a graph. Values for the specified day are highlighted in all graphs in the same tab.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 6.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pocket Analytics 1.0 is $8.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.

New Calculator App Inseries Promises to Calculate Different - Published on 05/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Inseries 1.0 is the slightly different professional calculator app that allows you to naturally enter calculations and clearly browse your previous results. The new app for iPhone and iPod touch includes innovative functionality for naturally adding and subtracting percentages and uses swipe-gestures for memory operations to keep its user interface clean and simple. Inseries also features a built-in library of common constants and functions; even including a "real" random number generator.

Hart-Purgstall, Austria - Independent developer Gerald Aquila today introduces Inseries, a completely new approach to iPhone calculators that allows you to enter calculations more naturally and to clearly view your previous results. Award-winning designer Wolfgang Bartelme created the clear and functional design of the app combining aspects of financial and scientific calculators with a spreadsheet-inspired way of entering calculations.

"Inseries is a simple, yet powerful calculator app," said Gerald Aquila, the developer of Inseries. "For instance, if you enter '100 - 30%' it will really calculate 70, correctly assuming you wanted to deduct a discount. You can also easily add taxes in the same way."

Inseries provides fast access to common mathematical functions and constants including a real random number generator. Financial calculator functionality includes naturally adding and subtracting of percentages, a quick-sum function key and fast switching between all, 2 and 4 fraction digits. In order to keep the user interface clear and simple, storing, recalling, and clearing memory is implemented using swipe gestures.
