LARIXPRESS announces a new children's book app for tiny tots - Published on 05/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LARIXPRESS today announces Tino the Triangle 1.0.1, their third high-quality children's app for the iPhone and iPad. Developed specifically for young children ages 3 and up, Tino the Triangle is an exciting journey of discovery that features shapes, colors and sounds. Travel with Tino on an exciting journey of discovery of the world to meet dogs, cats, birds and many other animals. The illustrations in the app are interactive and come to life with a simple tap of the finger.

Bolzano, Italy - After "tzi - App for Kids" and "King Laurin and his Rose Garden" LARIXPRESS now presents the third high-quality children's app for the iPhone and iPad - this time for very young children ages 3 and up. The artist Eleonora Cumer designed the illustrations, and also wrote the story: "Tino the Triangle" travels the world and meets dogs, cats, birds and many other animals. The result is an exciting journey of discovery that features shapes, colors and sounds.

The new children's app "Tino the Triangle" is all about the adventurous triangle Tino, who embarks on a search for new friends. Tino encounters a dog, a cat, a hedgehog and other fun-loving animals. The artist Eleonora Cumer invented the story, and also drew the many delightful illustrations.

A terrific surprise: when going to a new scene the animals, which will appear next, announce themselves with a typical, very characteristic sound. Kids and parents can take a guess as to which animals might show up on the screen. The various sounds of the app have been created especially for "Tino the Triangle" by a professional sound designer.

With each new scene the digital picture book turns into a game of peekaboo, since Tino the triangle is hidden on the new page and needs to be found. The kids learn to quickly look for the yellow triangle - which might appear suddenly as the ear of a cat, or as the beak of a bird.

The illustrations in the app are interactive and come to life with a simple tap of the finger. Kids can dribble colorful blotches of paint on the screen, or pop air bubbles in the water. The text on the screen may be read aloud by parents - creating a wonderful family experience. Another option is to choose a voice from within the app to read the story. Professional speakers will read the text in their native language - in British English, American English, German or Italian.

In a nutshell:
* New release: "Tino the Triangle"
* Universal app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* New children's book app by LARIXPRESS
* Text and illustrations by Eleonora Cumer

The unique combination of book and game stimulates the imagination. By the way, the story is not being told linearly: it is being decided randomly which animal will appear next.

Based in Bolzano, Italy, LARIXPRESS stories take the whole family to a world of fantasy: adventure and entertainment are guaranteed, and learning too. These days, children grow up with computers, the Internet and mobile phones: they are effectively digital natives. In an increasingly technological world where everything changes at such a fast pace, it's hard to keep up. We are parents ourselves, and we know how difficult it is to identify valid ideas that will help our children develop and learn from the wide variety of products on the market. LARIXPRESS takes this new reality to heart and has developed quality applications for children between 3 and 9 years of age. We focus on the specific needs of different age groups. With a targeted use of interaction and multimedia, LARIXPRESS applications enhance the pleasure of reading, stimulate the imagination and promote early language learning. The stories can be read in English, German or Italian, or simply press the text to hear them
read by native speakers. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2013 LARIXPRESS GmbH. All Rights Reserved. Apple, the Apple logo, iPhone, iPod and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. in the U.S. and/or other countries.

First Full-Fledged Weather App with Crowdsourced Data Released - Published on 05/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

With its latest release, SkyMotion 4.0 is now the only full-fledged weather app that gathers and integrates validated ground-level observations, allowing users to actually influence forecasts. Known for providing detailed minute-by-minute forecasts, as well as traditional daily to 7-day forecasts, the SkyMotion app ensures maximum forecast accuracy by relying on one of the largest weather crowdsourcing platforms in the world.

Montreal, Canada - Known for providing detailed minute-by-minute forecasts, as well as traditional daily to 7-day forecasts, the SkyMotion 4.0 app now also ensures maximum accuracy by relying on one of the largest weather crowdsourcing platforms in the world. SkyMotion is now the only full-fledged weather app that gathers and integrates validated ground-level observations, allowing users to actually influence forecasts. The free application, now available worldwide for all iOS devices, is also the only mobile weather app to offer both nowcasts (precipitation forecasts down to the exact minute) and traditional forecasts.

While weather radars have been traditionally relied upon by weather apps to track precipitation clouds, they provide little insight as to whether precipitation will reach the ground. Equipping SkyMotion users with a crowdsourcing platform circumvents this technological limitation, offering them an unprecedented level of accuracy.

SkyMotion's patented nowcasting technology tells users the exact minute they can expect precipitation. It does so by translating data from hundreds of Doppler radars, every 5 minutes, into a unique forecast for every 0.6 square mile. That's roughly 16 million zones simultaneously, every 5 minutes.

Receiving weather data in real-time, SkyMotion is also the only app that is designed to sense dramatic condition changes and instantly highlight them for users.

"All current weather crowdsourcing applications have users send observations into a black hole, with little to no apparent benefit for them. That's not the case with SkyMotion, which benefits from inheriting the large database of users who had downloaded previous versions of the app. We don't have to build a database of observers from scratch," said Sky Motion Research CEO, Maxime Julien. "We're one of the most sophisticated weather apps on the market."

SkyMotion 4.0 Features:
* Nowcasts: find out the exact minute it will rain for your location
* Get first-glance view of nowcasts, hourly, daily, and weekly forecasts in a single swipe
* Integration of ground-level observations for maximum accuracy
* Unique forecasts for every 0.6 square miles
* Weather alerts from national weather services
* Ads can be removed through an in-app purchase
* Condition highlights: dramatic changes in weather conditions now glow for your convenience
* Improved precipitation prediction for rain, snow, freezing rain, ice pellets and hail
* Be the first to share nowcasts on Facebook and Twitter
* Support for over 80 languages
* iPhone 5 & iOS 6.1.2 Compatible

Language Support:
English, Bokmal, Norwegian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 10.7 MB

Pricing and availability:
SkyMotion 4.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Weather category. Customer care is available 7 days a week in English, Spanish, French, and Italian. A free web app is equally available at SkyMotion online.

Founded in 2008, Sky Motion Research Inc. develops and markets highly localized nowcasting technologies. SkyMotion, its proprietary technology, predicts with high accuracy the minute precipitation will start and end. SkyMotion gains its accuracy by tracking every rain cloud's movement in real-time and integrating ground observations, creating a hyperlocal forecast every 0.6 square mile, every 5 minutes. SkyMotion also now offers 7 day and hourly forecasts for most weather variables. Its suite of mobile applications is free and available worldwide at Sky Motion online.

Pocket Informant 3, The Best Event/Task/Note App - Made Even Better - Published on 05/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Web Information Solutions introduces an update to the award-winning iOS application, Pocket Informant Pro, which offers complete integration of Calendar, Tasks, Notes and Contacts. The concept is simple: bring together everything about your day into one location, allow users to customize virtually every part of the app, and make it beautiful and easy to use. The new version, Version 3.0, brings tons of new features as well as existing features made even better.

Cedar Park, Texas - Web Information Solutions introduces an update to the award-winning iOS application, Pocket Informant Pro 3.0, which offers complete integration of Calendar, Tasks, Notes and Contacts. The concept is simple: bring together everything about your day into one location, allow users to customize virtually every part of the app, and make it beautiful and easy to use. The new version, Version 3.0, brings tons of new features as well as existing features made even better.

So what exactly is is that has been added? What makes this so "ground-breaking"?

* Better Looking: It's simpler, easier to use and just clear. In fact, that's what it's called: Clear. In Pocket Informant 3, you are given more control over what elements you would like to enable or hide, so that you can focus on the data that matters to you the most. All of this power is now wrapped up in the best looking interface yet.

* More Natural: Just create a new task or event and type (or use iOS voice dictation to say) phrases like "Coffee with Mom every Tuesday at 6am" or "Lunch with Bob next Friday". Pocket Informant will understand and set your event accordingly. Currently, only available for English.

* Richer Notes: Now enjoy a full featured rich text editor when taking notes in Pocket Informant. Change fonts, styles, sizes, colors or make bulleted or ordered lists - it's all there.

* There For You, Rain or Shine: Now as you look out over your upcoming events, check the forecast at the same time. Add the weather forecast to any calendar view and show the current conditions in the Today tab (weather is provided by Weather Underground and is available as an in-app purchase)

* Today - Fully Customized: The Today view is a favorite for so many people. All the events & tasks you care about Today in one simple place. If you liked it before, you'll love it now. Pocket Informant 3 lets you reorder your Today View sections, turn any section you want on or off, and perhaps the most exciting addition: Add any of your custom Smart Filters to the Today Tab.

* Checklists: Sure, Pocket Informant has always been there for you to take meeting notes, schedule events, organize your tasks...but what about your lists of stuff? When you go grocery shopping or maybe you're packing for a trip - what's the best way to track the list of stuff for that task? Checklists, of course.

* Smarter Projects: Now you can set due dates on your projects, set your projects to automatically complete, set a project template, and you can change how each project automatically does (or does not) handle your "next actions". Smarter indeed.

* Evernote: So, there's this cool little app out there called Evernote. Maybe you've heard of it? Yeah, so have we. And now, you can sync your Evernote notebooks, tags, notes, and attachments with Pocket Informant. The fun isn't stopping there because we've got support for "stacks" coming right around the corner as well. (Note: Evernote to dos and tables aren't supported just yet)

There are many more features and improvements that have been added as well; there are just too many to list. We encourage you to take a look for yourself, and see how Pocket Informant Pro can benefit you!

"I was blown away with how easily I could glance at the Month View and seriously evaluate everything that I've got going on this month," says Perry Brauner of GearDiary online. "This is something that you're not able to do with iOS's built-in calendar app."

"This is the biggest release we have ever had. I can't wait to see the reaction of people when they download version 3 and use the incredible new interface," says Alex Kac, Founder and CEO of Web Information Solutions. "We have seen more excitement from our testing groups than I have ever seen before. I am sure our customers will love it!"

Language Support:
English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish, Turkish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices

Lemon Minder: Car Problems Tracker for iPhone - Published on 05/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Unreal Mojo introduces Lemon Minder 1.1, its lifestyle utility for the iPhone. It is a simple and functional organizer of issues with a user's car. When users notice an issue with their car, they quickly add the problem to a visual representation of the car on the app, coupled with a photo or sound recording, and then just forget about it. Lemon Minder will remember these issues for users until their next visit to the service shop. The app is Free for one week to celebrate the launch.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation - Unreal Mojo announces immediate availability of Lemon Minder 1.1, its utility for the iPhone. Lemon Minder is simple and functional organizer of issues with your car (or lemon, heh). Don't occupy your mind with irrelevant things... until you come to the car service shop, that is.

Discovered a scratch on the door? The license plate bulb is out of order? Don't fill your brain with all that - simply launch Lemon Minder, find an appropriate spot on the schematic car display and hold your finger on it for a few seconds.

This app was born because we often forget about various little things about our car right at the time when we come to a service shop. One of the Lemon Minder developers couldn't replace the anti-fog light bulb for 4 months even though he was in a car service shop twice during that period. Does that sound familiar to you?

This is why it's easier to mark an issue and forget about it until you come to the repair shop. You can also add a photo ("here's that pesky scratch!") or record some sound ("Bob, listen to these engine sounds!").

For better visualization of the issues on your car you can choose from one of three types of vehicles - SUV, hatchback or sedan. Full list of issues can be viewed at once on a separate screen and you can also mail it out at any time. And of course, you can always mark off fixed issues so they don't stick out any more.

We have made a simple app for a simple task. Nothing more, nothing less. Try it yourself because if you don't fill up your mind with little things, you can do a lot more. Radically more.

Language Support:
English, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 9.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Lemon Minder 1.1, normally $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies), is free for one week and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. The app is able to track more than one car via an in-app purchase.

Awesome Physics-6 in 1 Free for iOS - 6 Challenging Physics-Based Games - Published on 05/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Demansol Technologies today introduces Awesome Physics-6 in 1 v1.0 free for iOS, its innovative, 3D, physics-based construction game, where players must anticipate how geometric solids will interact when forces in a system change. Each of the 6 built-in games uses the same physics and solids (cube, sphere, cone, tetrahedron, etc.), but players must master different forces in each game, including: Stack, Collapse, Move, Balance, Shoot, and Explode. Each game includes 60 levels.

Bangalore, India - Demansol Technologies today is pleased to introduce Awesome Physics-6 in 1 v1.0 free for iOS, its innovative, 3D, physics-based construction game, where players must anticipate how geometric solids will interact when forces in a system change. Each of the 6 built-in games uses the same physics and solids (cube, sphere, cone, tetrahedron, etc.), but players must master different forces in each game, including: Stack, Collapse, Move, Balance, Shoot, and Explode. Each game includes 60 levels.

Feature Highlights:
* Ultra-realistic game physics engine
* Geometric solids of all kinds, sizes, and colors, including: cuboids, spheres, tetrahedra, planks, and plates
* Six different games test the player's skill mastering Newtonian forces
* No clock or score - just 360 levels of highly imaginative 3D puzzles
* Skip, replay, solutions, and multi-touch capability

Awesome Physics-6 in 1 is built around a remarkably realistic game-physics engine, which effortlessly calculates and displays the complex interactions between 10 solids simultaneously. As the puzzles in each game grow more difficult, players must employ both trial & error and strategic analysis to discover a possible solution and then how to achieve it in the number of moves allotted.

There are geometric solids of all kinds, sizes, and colors, including: cuboids, spheres, tetrahedra, planks, and plates. All are made of the same ideal substance, making it easier to judge comparative weights of different solids. Also included in each puzzle are geometric solids of all sizes made of stone, which are immovable (except when balanced on an immovable fulcrum). These stones serve as the platforms on which all the colored solids rest, frequently creating elementary structures. There are no time limits or bonuses, but each level of each game has a maximum number of moves allowed the player to solve the puzzle and move to the next level (usually 1 - 5 moves per level).

The six different games fall into two categories, 1) adding or subtracting solids and 2) detonating an explosion near or firing a projectile toward solids. In the Stack game, the goal is to drag a given number of solids onto one or more stone platforms, so that all solids are supported and none fall off the bottom of the screen. In the Collapse game, players may tap one or more solids to remove them, with the aim of having all the solids fall off the screen. The Move game challenges players to tap one or more inclined colored blocks so that all the purple, ball-shaped creatures reach the exit, but none of the red, ball-shaped creatures escape.

Balance is the only game where the maximum number of moves allotted to the player is equal to the number of solids in the puzzle (usually 8 ), and stone platforms tilt realistically left and right, balancing on an immovable fulcrum. The object is to tap one or more solids with the aim of tapping and removing all of them, while allowing none to fall by carefully maintaining the platform's balance. Players have an opportunity to control and fire a cannon-like device to destroy solids in the Shoot game. Players control the angle of the barrel and the force with which the projectile is fired. Finally, the Explode game lets players place one or more bombs anywhere on screen with the aim of sending the red ball creatures offscreen, while keeping all the purple ball creatures onscreen.

"Predicting and animating the behavior of ten different geometric shapes is a challenge for any game-physics engine," commented Deepak Demiwal of Demansol Technologies. "Try our free Awesome Physics-6 in 1, where you can have multiple bombs, each strategically placed, explode simultaneously, while you observe the complex, interactive effects on the 12 different solids onscreen."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 81.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Awesome Physics-6 in 1 v1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Ad removal and solutions are available as in-app purchases.

* Energy Efficient - Up's Auto Uploads barely uses any power while it's in the background and waiting for new photos to appear in your Camera Roll. You won't even notice Up is running until your photos are synced.

* iPad Support - No need to connect your point-and-shoot or DSLR camera to your computer. Connect your camera to your iPad using the Camera Connection Kit and use Up to keep your photos synced to Picasa.
