Fat Cat Kickstarter Campaign Launches - Published on 05/09/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Killer Penguin Studios and Abstrakt Reality have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new mobile game Fat Cat. Fat Cat is a mobile, 2D, Casual, twitch game. Fat Cat is so fat he needs your help to get around the world, but Be Careful! Fat Cat puts a nice spin on the laws of gravity and physics. Rotating the world adds a nice playing experience and opens a door to unlimited possibilities. Game Play consists of 3 main mechanics.

Studio City, California - Killer Penguin Studios and Abstrakt Reality have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new mobile game Fat Cat. Fat Cat is a mobile, 2D, Casual, twitch game. Fat Cat is so fat he needs your help to get around the world, but Be Careful! Fat Cat puts a nice spin on the laws of gravity and physics. Rotating the world ads a nice playing experience and opens a door to unlimited possibilities.

As of right now we are currently developing for the iOS platform with future plans to develop for Android. If we reach more funding than our goal and depending on how much more, then an Android version will be released with iOS.

Game Play consists of 3 main mechanics. Rotation is the core mechanic in the game. The only way Fat Cat can maneuver around the world is by rotating the world. Collecting is another mechanic. Fat Cat collects the mice in the world and other collectible features that are added into the game. Zoom, the third mechanic, is used for zooming in and out to see the whole world to help your game play!

The System: Fat Cat uses a Star based system but instead of stars you get paw prints. You must collect all the mice in the level and get to your bed to fully complete the level and receive all three "stars". There are different worlds to choose from and within those worlds are multiple levels.

Up to this point everything has been self-funded and we have been doing this all on our own. We quickly realized we needed help to be able to complete this project. This is when we decided to turn to KickStarter and its amazing following to help forward our dreams of developing this game and making Fat Cat a reality. We plan to fully support this title with updates, features, and to give (the backers) not just what they are expecting but much, much more!

Killer Penguin Studios is an independent game development company created by one guy who loves art, animation, programming, imagination, games, music and penguins.

HoudahGeo 3.4 - Mac photo geocoding with gps4cam pro for iPhone - Published on 05/09/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HoudahGeo 3.4 makes photo geocoding easier than ever before. HoudahGeo can now work from trips recorded by the popular gps4cam pro app for iPhone. Innovative use of QR codes make the process seamless. From a photo of a QR code displayed by gps4cam, HoudahGeo can load track logs, derive camera clock settings and geocode photos taken during the trip. This update is recommended for all users of Mac OS X Snow Leopard through Mountain Lion.

Luxembourg - Houdah Software today announces HoudahGeo 3.4, an update to their widely acclaimed photo geocoding solution for Mac OS X. HoudahGeo users can "pin" photos to locations where they were taken. HoudahGeo can store latitude, longitude and altitude information right within the image file - invisibly with no loss of quality. HoudahGeo writes EXIF, XMP and IPTC tags.

HoudahGeo is tightly integrated with iPhoto and Aperture Places. It offers a myriad of ways to geocode and publish photos. HoudahGeo can publish projects to EveryTrail.com, prepare them for viewing in Google Earth and upload photos to Flickr and Locr. As a one-stop geocoding for the Mac, HoudahGeo caters to two very different needs:

* Geotagging for archival purposes using EXIF, XMP and IPTC tags
* Geocoding for publishing to Google Earth, Flickr, locr, EveryTrail or Evernote

HoudahGeo allows for automatic geocoding from GPS track logs. A GPS device is however optional. HoudahGeo provides several options for manual geocoding. The most popular of which being the Map Geocoding pane: this allows for finding and selecting locations on a map. HoudahGeo gives users a choice of high quality Bing maps and satellite imagery, gorgeous MapBox maps and satellite imagery as well as CloudMade maps based on OpenStreet data.

The combination of HoudahGeo and gps4cam pro make photo geocoding easier than ever before. Running on a GPS-enabled iPhone, gps4cam pro makes an exact record of its owner's travels. Transferring the recorded track log could not be easier: a photograph of a QR code displayed by gps4cam at the end of the trip should be loaded into HoudahGeo along with the photos to be tagged. From the information contained in the QR code, HoudahGeo loads track logs, derives camera clock settings and geocodes photos taken during the trip. No additional setup is needed.

If a dedicated GPS device was used, HoudahGeo will be able to use track logs from that device and still rely on gps4cam to get accurate camera clock settings. The traditionally trickiest part - camera clock setup - of geocoding has just become as easy as taking a picture!

As they should say, "the best GPS is the one that's with you". Usually that would be your GPS-enabled phone. gps4cam pro is a track logger application for iPhone. A simplified version, gps4cam is also available for both iPhone and Android.

Key features of gps4cam pro:
* No need to manually synchronize the time and date of your iPhone and your camera
* Visualize the trip and different capture points on a map
* Share one bar code with several cameras
* Option to represent long trips using a single QR code by storing track log data on Dropbox

"The use of a QR code is unique for this kind of application and is a big advantage for geotagging. Thanks to this barcode you don't have to geotag every photo manually and to synchronize yourself the time and date between your iPhone and your camera. Also, one QR code can be photographed by more than one person, so that you can geotag pictures made by a whole group with only one iPhone." - Salian Parinita, DPReview

The integration between gps4cam and HoudahGeo brings benefits to both HoudahGeo and gps4cam users:
* HoudahGeo users gain a very simple way of setting up camera clock configuration
* They no longer need to worry about time zone or inaccurate camera clocks
* gps4cam provides a good alternative to GPS track loggers prices $100 and up
* Existing gps4cam users gain access to the wealth of tools and export options available through HoudahGeo
* HoudahGeo's build-in maps allow for double-checking and adjusting geotags
* HoudahGeo can visualize or publish on Google Earth, Flickr, EveryTrail, locr or Evernote

HoudahGeo 3.4 adds the following enhancements and fixes:
* HoudahGeo can load track logs from QR codes created by the gps4cam iPhone application
* HoudahGeo can now infer camera clock settings when given the exact time a photo was taken
* Camera clock setup in HoudahGeo is fully automatic when working with gps4cam QR codes
* Camera clock error may be specified by entering the time as currently displayed on the camera
* On first load, HoudahGeo centers the map on the current track log and photos
* Map bounds and zoom level are preserved when switching providers: Bing, MapBox or CloudMade
* Fine-tuned geocoding algorithm for situations where track points are 4 or more minutes apart
* The users' manual has been updated with screenshots
* Updated for compatibility with Evernote 5.0.7
* Fixes bugs where image previews could cause crashes on certain configurations
* Fixes a bug where HoudahGeo could omit to load iPhoto/Aperture metadata
* Fixes a bug where the geocoding map could show more than one marker during geocoding

"Getting camera clock set-up right used to be tricky," said Pierre Bernard, chief software architect at Houdah Software. "By adding two new ways to sync camera clocks, HoudahGeo makes this easier than ever before."

System Requirements:
* Intel Mac
* Mac OS X Version 10.6 or higher, including 10.8 Mountain Lion
* Digital camera
* Optional GPS track logger
* Optional iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S or iPhone 5
* Optional gps4cam pro app on iPhone with iOS 5.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
* HoudahGeo 3.4 is priced at $29 USD for a single-user license.
* A full-featured demo version is available
* Licenses may be purchased from the Houdah Software store

* gps4cam pro is priced at USD $3.99 or local equivalent
* It is available exclusively through the iTunes App Store

Will Vittle for the iPad Finally Kill the Need for Text? - Published on 05/09/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Despite being a sub-optimal experience, iPad users still rely on its virtual keyboard for most of their daily communications. A new App named Vittle from Qrayon, launching worldwide today, seeks to change that. Vittle lets users record short videos using their photos, handwriting, and voice that can be securely shared, or posted online for the whole world. Users can drop in photos and move them around the screen or annotate them, all while narrating their message.

Seattle, Washington - Despite being a sub-optimal experience, iPad users still rely on its virtual keyboard for most of their daily communications. A new App named Vittle from Qrayon, launching worldwide today, seeks to change that. Vittle lets users record short videos using their photos, handwriting, and voice that can be securely shared, or posted online for the whole world.

Vittle turns an iPad into a recordable whiteboard, where everything a user draws and says is instantly captured in a video file. The App produces 720p HD video files that the user owns, and does not tie them to a proprietary online service. Users can choose to share their videos on services such as YouTube or Vimeo. Videos can be saved or uploaded immediately after recording. Users can also post their videos to their secure company servers, or email them directly.

Vittle is built on Qrayon's proprietary Inkflow Engine. Its ultra-smooth scalable ink can be moved and re-sized, and stays sharp at multiple zoom levels, providing for a large virtual writing surface. Users can drop in photos and move them around the screen or annotate them, all while narrating their message.

The Full Edition adds many additional features, including:
* Support for multiple projects, each with multiple pages and scenes
* A scene editor, which allows users to reorder and delete scenes
* Unlimited recording length - hours and hours if needed
* A fully customizable color palette, pen opacity and width settings
* PDF import: Including importing PDF decks from Keynote or PowerPoint
* A camera lock tool that allows users to smoothly pan the recorded view
* A laser pointer tool
* And more

"Video is poised to become a dominant medium of everyday communication. Capturing key ideas in a video can actually be easier and more natural than typing up another long email. People find videos far more engaging than text alone. With our ever-shrinking attention spans, video is a critical tool to get your points across quickly, and to spread your ideas far and wide. Vittle now makes this as easy as writing on a piece of paper," said Chen Lim, CEO of Qrayon.

Device Requirements:
* iPad 2 or newer
* Requires iOS 6 or later
* 13.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Full Edition of Vittle will have an introductory launch price of $8.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies), and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. A Free Edition of Vittle is available for users to try out before upgrading. The Free Edition can record video segments up to one minute long, and comes with 4 standard marker colors, an eraser, the select/re-size tool, plus the ability to insert up to 3 photos at a time.

Mosaique is a visually elegant puzzle game designed as the perfect pastime for long lines or lunch breaks.

Temple Terrace, Florida - Winning Blimp is proud to announce today the release of their mobile game, Mosaique. Mosaique is a visually elegant puzzle game designed as the perfect pastime for long lines or lunch breaks. The game allows players to participate in the pastime of Vraxian colonial engineers and destroy small, localized gravitational pockets of sand.

"Mosaique is a 10 minute brain snack, ideal for those wanting a short, engaging, intellectual distraction via a beautifully realistic visual interface," said Alex May, co-founder and creative director of Winning Blimp. "The short length of the game, the graphic style, and even the name 'Mosaique' are all elements spawned from the feel of the music: intellectual, yet somehow familiar and accessible. We always prefer to create the music to our games first, and then draw inspiration from that."

With just seven levels, Mosaique can be easily completed in ten minutes. Arrange and clear tiles of matching colors to beat each level and discover the hidden depths behind this addictive puzzle game. By switching to expert mode, players can use strategic elements to challenge themselves, earn more points, and progress further into the Mosaique.

Tropical Software releases TopXNotes 1.7.5 - Published on 05/09/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Florida-based Tropical Software announced TopXNotes 1.7.5, an update to its award-winning Mac note manager and Macworld Gem. TopXNotes puts the most frequently used tools at your fingertips. TopXNotes 1.7.5 is the most stable, easiest to use version ever, with performance enhancements, bug fixes, and the NoteSync process that is a snap to set up. Effortlessly keep your notes synchronized between TopXNotes for Mac and TopXNotes Touch for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Organize your Mac Notes today.

Atlantic Beach, Florida - Tropical Software today is pleased to announce that TopXNotes 1.7.5 with NoteSync is now available. Version 1.7.5 is our most stable, easiest to use version of TopXNotes, with performance enhancements, bug fixes, and a NoteSync process that is a snap to set up. The TopXNotes system will keep your notes synchronized between TopXNotes for Mac and TopXNotes Touch for iPhone and iPod touch. Organize your Mac Notes today with TopXNotes Mac note organizer..

TopXNotes 1.7.5 new features also include new templates and samples. We have made major improvements to our WiFi-based NoteSync process for improved efficiency, stability and performance, including improved handling of large files, files with many notes, and improved handling of other unusual conditions.

There are a number of small updates and fixes in TopXNotes 1.7.5. Auto URL Recognition no longer changes the case of the entered string and is improved overall to better handle case-sensitive URLs. WiFi NoteSync is disabled if OS X version is less than 10.5 because the Mac OS requires 10.5 or later. Multiple find dialogs are no longer possible. Fixed rare issue of compatibility with very old data files (prior to 1.3.1.) NoteOrganizer Column Preferences fixed. Delete Note now works in Contextual menus. Finally, TopXNotes Mac now checks for compatible NoteSync services between Mac and iOS device and will not attempt sync between incompatible versions.

TopXNotes- The Clutter Cutter:
Tired of all those loose bits of information spread all over your hard drive in multiple documents requiring opening multiple apps to see them? Opening many apps sucks up your valuable Mac memory and slows it down. Tired of trying to remember which note was written in which application, and where you put it? Use TopXNotes to import all your notes and organize them all in one place with the option to password protect and encrypt sensitive information.

TopXNotes- Your Personal Information Organizer:
Use TopXNotes advanced drag and drop to create notes from any other text application, or to drag import text and/or RTF documents. Or use cut and paste from other applications. Once the information is created, use TopXNotes' category system to create categories (with colors, icons and names) that meet your needs, or file in folder-like groups. Have one for home, one for office, and one for school, or a car project, or recipes, or anything at all, and as many categories as you like for each note.

Use our unique Finder-like NoteOrganizer to organize your notes and quickly find things. TopXNotes NoteOrganizer lets you filter your notes by name, note page number, date created, date modified or category. You can also rapidly reverse sort or instantly switch between multiple NoteOrganizer display layouts.

TopXNotes- MultiView Convenience
Use TopXNotes' unique MultiView feature (adjacent note views) to view the same note or more than one note at once. Think of it like opening a book to multiple pages at a time.

TopXNotes- MultiView Editing:
Using MultiView speeds up note editing by making comparing notes, rearranging information from one note to another, combining notes, separating a long note into 2 or more notes, and other tasks simple. While you work, TopXNotes sliding Text toolbar automatically hovers right above where you are typing.

TopXNotes- MultiViewing:
In addition to helping edit your notes, TopXNotes MultiView allows you so show multiple notes on a theme at once. You might have a shopping list, budget and websites in adjacent notes for shopping for instance. Or you might organize the day by having a list of calls, a list of errands, a project outline, and today's ToDo list side by side. There is no end to the combinations you will find useful.

TopXNotes- QuickNotes at your fingertips:
Once you have your notes organized, prioritize them with TopXNotes QuickNotes feature. Just check the QuickNotes category for your most critical information and now that information will be in the QuickNotes menu accessible from a little global floating window. Whether you have many windows open or the TopXNotes main window minimized, your QuickNotes are always instantly accessible from the desktop or from the TopXNotes Dock menu for your convenience.

TopXNotes- Security:
Once you have your notes organized be sure to use our password protection to encrypt those notes with sensitive information, or you can set a password to shield all your notes from prying eyes. In this fashion you have easy access to all your information, including the sensitive items.

TopXNotes Sync- Notes "On the Go"
Use TopXNotes Mac and its mobile partner, TopXNotes touch (for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) to take those notes with you that you want while you are away including shopping lists, to-do lists, directions, or anything you want.

TopXNotes- Reviews:
TopXNotes was awarded 4 out of 5 mice by Macworld magazine in their "Summer of Mac Gems" series of reviews, by Macworld Australia, and recently by Macworld UK. TopXNotes was rated "9 of 10" by Macsimum News (now part of MacTech), and highly rated by the Macintosh Guild and Mac360.

TopXNotes- Macworld Review:
Macworld praised the TopXNotes "clean, single window interface that puts controls for highlighting and marking up your text right at your fingertips," as well as for its "killer" QuickNotes feature.

TopXNotes- Mac User Group Review:
Sue Beal, president of the Upper Keys (Florida) Macintosh Users Group calls TopXNotes "Inexpensive, unobtrusive, and just plain handy."

TopXNotes- Mac360:
Ron Mc Elfresh, of Mac360 stated: "I'm a notes freak. I have notes on everything. From to-do items to code snippets to tasks and projects to article ideas. Here's an understated, unloved, deceptively powerful notes app worthy of some Mac love...it's loaded with user features that set it apart from other note taking apps. TopXNotes is deceptively powerful and flexible, probably because the interface is immediately familiar."

Pricing and Availability:
Try Tropical's reliable TopXNotes 1.7.5 to "get organized" today! A Free demo of TopXNotes Mac note organizer can downloaded from the Tropical Software web site.

Mexico City, Mexico - Taking the world of diet and nutrition to a new level, Applint today is proud to announce the release of NutriAid, its revolutionary new diet app that allows users to customize their eating plans to suit their body type and tastes for maximum weight loss results.

Hebrew Notes points the way to write Hebrew - Published on 05/09/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Davka Corporation introduces Hebrew Notes 1.0, a Hebrew-English bi-directional note-taking app for iOS devices. Hebrew Notes allows users to type Hebrew with entry of Hebrew vowel points, or nikud. Hebrew text can be written with one of two different Hebrew fonts, and a variety of attractive background colors is available. Hebrew Notes also integrates with iCloud so that users can work with the same documents on multiple devices at different times.

Chicago, Illinois - Davka Corporation today is pleased to announce the release of Hebrew Notes, a Hebrew-English note-taking app for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Hebrew Notes expands on iOS's built-in right-to-left editing capabilities, by adding Hebrew vowel point entry - which has never before been offered on any app - with the unique 'Nikud Toolbar', that allows users to enter the appropriate vowel points that appear above and below the letters. This feature is especially helpful for students studying Biblical texts, who need to write Hebrew with accurate vowel point entry.

Using Hebrew Notes, one can write in either Hebrew or English as the primary language, while still writing text from the other language in 'push' mode. Hebrew text can be written with one of two different Hebrew fonts, and a variety of attractive background colors is available. Hebrew Notes can even insert the correct Hebrew or English date into documents.

Hebrew Notes integrates with iCloud, so that users can work with the same documents on multiple devices at different times. Notes may be shared via email, Facebook, iMessage, or Twitter, and printed to Airprint-compatible printers. Files from other word processing programs may be exported in text format, and opened with Hebrew Notes.

Hebrew Notes is an ideal note-taking app for students who need to write in Hebrew and English, and its ability to add Hebrew vowel points makes it unique and valuable for those that need to write pointed Hebrew text.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Universal Appliation
* 2.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Hebrew Notes 1.0 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Swansea, United Kingdom - Reinvented Software is excited to announce the release of Together 3 for Mac today. Version 3.0 adds thumbnails, tab expose, stationery, history, autosave and versions, along with improved favorites, previews and Shelf, all wrapped up in a smart new design. And, exclusive to the Mac App Store version, Together 3 can now sync libraries with iCloud.

Together for Mac is an app for collecting, organizing and searching all kinds of files. Just about anything can be dragged to Together for safe keeping, tagged, previewed, collected together in different ways and found again instantly.

Together 3 builds on an almost 10 year legacy to add new features such as stationery, for creating any type of file, zoomable thumbnails and improved previews, an inbox for un-filed imports, tab expose for viewing all open tabs at once, autosave and versions, and a sleek new design that puts just what you need right where you need it.

Exclusive to the Mac App Store version is iCloud sync. Libraries can be stored in iCloud and seamlessly shared with your other Macs. Changes made on one Mac will appear within moments on your others automatically.

With Together 3, what you see on the surface is just half the story. Almost everything in the app has been updated to take advantage of the latest technologies, streamlined for the best performance and subtly improved in ways too numerous to mention.

Together 3 requires OS X 10.8 or later and is available with iCloud support from the Mac App Store, or without iCloud as a 15-day trial from the Reinvented Software web site.

Version 3.0 is a paid upgrade for all previous versions of Together. A full license will cost $39.99 (USD) and an upgrade (not available from the Mac App Store) is $19.99, with free upgrades for anyone for purchased Together 2.x from the Reinvented Software web site within 3 months of version 3.0's release. For 15 days after Together 3's launch, the Mac App Store version will be available for just $19.99.
