Ear Candy brings Karaoke into the digital era by making it possible for you to do sing along with your favorite tracks, just as you would at a party.

Melbourne, Australia - Deus Apps today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Ear Candy 1.2, an update to their popular music app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. So what is Ear Candy and how does it work? Ear Candy brings Karaoke up to date, into the digital era by simply making it possible for you to do sing along with your favorite tracks, just as you would at a party. This innovative app adds even more excitement by providing a means to share your great voice with your friends and the world via Facebook and allows your friends to rate your song via the app. Sounds exciting?
Once you download the app from the iTunes website (for the price of a coke), you then select the songs (instrumentals only) from your library. Hit the record button and sing along, (not happy with that take? No problems you can try any number of times with any number of songs), then save your recorded version on playlist. Sure you're happy with it? Well here's the test. The app lets you upload your song to Facebook. (Boy now you've gone public with your sexy voice). And it does not end there; your friends can now Rate it or Hate it! (Guess they would have great fun doing that!) We'll at least you and your many hundreds of far flung friends get to find it entertaining or at the very least amusing. Both ways, it's great entertainment and would bring a cheer to their faces.
Other features on the app make it even more interesting. The Leaderboard section gives you the option to put your song into competition with other singers. Under the My Profile link you can create your own album by saving all those wonderful numbers you've belted out. This section also keeps tab on all the votes you've gathered. Rate My Track is where you get to play judge by rating the songs others have sent you.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5

HeartPhys Released for iPad - Learn About The Heart Interactively - Published on 05/22/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Michael Parker, M.D., an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, introduces HeartPhys 1.0, a new app for iPad that enables users to learn about the heart and blood vessels through interactive diagrams and videos. HeartPhys tackles some of the key cardiovascular concepts and lets users interact with visuals and gain insight into what's going on. The app also provides narrated Show Me videos, describing each concept in detail, as well as extensive text explanations.
Boston, Massachusetts - Michael Parker, M.D., an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, is pleased to announce the release of HeartPhys 1.0, a new app for iPad that enables users to learn about the heart and blood vessels through interactive diagrams and videos.
HeartPhys tackles some of the key cardiovascular concepts and lets users interact with visuals and gain insight into what's going on. The app also provides narrated Show Me videos, describing each concept in detail and going over how to get the most out of each diagram, as well as extensive text explanations.
HeartPhys includes interactive diagrams and videos on the following topics: left and right heart, integrated cardiac cycle, pressure-volume (PV) loops, ventricular axis, cardiac murmur, fetal circulation, Frank-Starling relationship, preload, afterload, afterload - acute progression, contractility, cardiac conduction and the ECG, Starling forces, vascular autoregulation, right coronary artery flow, effect of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) on heart rate, positional changes in blood pressure, pulmonary vs. systemic circulation, and right heart catheterization.
HeartPhys has immersive interactivity; for example, in the Right Heart Catheterization diagram, users can thread a virtual catheter through a person's blood vessels and into the heart, carefully controlling the progress of the catheter and viewing key blood pressures in the vessels and heart along the way. In the Left and Right Heart diagram, users can interactively expose the anatomy of each side of the heart as it beats, including slowing the process down to listen to the heart sounds and watch their relationship to the movement of the heart valves. This degree of interactivity extends throughout the app and is a key aspect.
The app's audience includes students (undergraduate physiology, nursing, medical, etc.), as well as doctors and their patients. The interactive diagrams are intended to be multi-layered, in that a doctor could use a diagram to explain something to patients in a visual way, and a patient using the diagram and Show Me videos may get insight as well.
Feature Highlights:
* Play with interactive diagrams to understand some of the hardest concepts in cardiovascular physiology
* Watch the Show Me videos to solidify understanding of the concepts and get the most out of each diagram
* Read detailed explanations that describe the key points of each diagram
* Zoom the diagrams to full screen for an uninterrupted interactive experience. Even in that mode, the explanation text is only a finger tap or swipe away
* Bring up interaction help for any diagram - You never have to wonder how you can interact with any diagram...just tap on the information icon in the toolbar to get visual instructions unique to each diagram
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:
* Requires iPad with iOS 5.1 or later
* 103 MB
Pricing and Availability:
HeartPhys 1.0 is $1.99 USD, 60% off of its regular price for a limited period of time. It is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category. Discount is available for academic institutions through Apple's Volume Purchase Program. Promo codes for review purposes are available upon request.

Categorical, a Social Categories Game App, Launches for iTunes - Published on 05/22/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fridgecat Software, a premier indie game studio specializing in mobile development for Android and iOS, officially launched their latest game, Categorical 1.0, in iTunes this week. Categorical is an engaging social word game that challenges players to score big points by using a set of given letters to come up with answers to a list of categories. The unique one-on-one, social trivia style game heats up with friendly competition.
Downington, Pennsylvania - Fridgecat Software, a premier indie game studio specializing in mobile development for Android and iOS, officially launched their latest game, Categorical 1.0, in iTunes this week. Categorical is an engaging social word game that challenges you to score big points by using a set of given letters to come up with answers to a list of categories.
"We wrote Categorical because we wanted to create a fun social experience in the style of Scattergories(TM), but we wanted it to be more modern and have better replay value," said Ezra Smith, CEO of Fridgecat Software. "The average 'give an answer starting with this letter' game gets boring very quickly - you can only play so many games where the category is 'a vegetable' before you've exhausted all the good answers for a specific letter."
Users play timed rounds against friends, or random users, to see who can come up with the best answers. They can also review their opponent's round, and "challenge" the answers they feel may be incorrect. At that point, the player may choose to justify their answer, or agree that it's incorrect. After three rounds, the player with the most points wins.
"Personally, I love hearing people talk about Categorical games they've played recently. People tell me about the hilarious answer a friend played against them, and I'm always thrilled to see the game transcend their mobile devices and become a general topic of conversation," said Smith.
With Facebook integration, users can invite their friends to play, or start a game with a random player. Players can communicate with messages back and forth with opponents; a little friendly banter that makes the game more interesting. Finishing a game earns the player tokens to purchase new categories and activate power-ups, making Categorical suitable for hours of entertainment.
"At its core, Categorical is meant to be a fun social experience. It's cross-platform, so Android and iOS users can play games against each other. It's engaging for all skill levels, too: a novice player might be happy to think of an answer with all of the required letters, while more experienced players will use the most valuable letters to rack up big points," said Smith.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 18.6 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Categorical 1.0 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category.

Byte Squared Announces Plan for Citrix Worx Integration in Office Editor - Published on 05/22/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Byte Squared, a company specializing in Office document editing on mobile devices, today announced that it will be part of the Citrix Ready Worx Verified program. By integrating the Citrix Worx App SDK into its Office editing app, Byte Squared's users will have the ability to access and edit corporate data, without compromising the security of that information. The company's integration will bring Office2 to the Citrix Rrady Worx Verified ecosystem.
Los Angeles - Byte Squared, a company specializing in Office document editing on mobile devices, today announced that it will be part of the Citrix Ready Worx Verified program. By integrating the Citrix Worx App SDK into its Office editing app, Byte Squared's users will have the ability to access and edit corporate data, without compromising the security of that information.
The Worx App SDK leverages Citrix MDX app container technology to add features like data encryption, password authentication, secure lock and wipe, inter-app policies and micro VPNs to Office2. With Citrix MDX technology, all apps and data reside in a container, separated from personal apps and data on the user's mobile device. This allows IT to set comprehensive policy-based controls such as data leakage prevention and the ability to remote lock, wipe and encrypt apps and data.
Integrating Citrix MDX technology will make it easy for enterprise IT to apply security and access policies to Office2.
"Companies want their staff to remain productive when mobile, whilst being comfortable that the data remains absolutely secure. Incorporating the Citrix Worx App SDK into Office2 lets us make this happen. We are pleased to be a Citrix Ready partner and to work closely with Citrix to extend Office2 to the new Citrix Ready Worx Verified program. As a Citrix Ready Worx Verified partner Office2 will soon be made available to over 250,000 existing Citrix enterprise customers and over 10,000 Citrix resellers on the new Citrix Worx App Gallery," said Simon Bates, CEO of Byte Squared.
"We're pleased to have Byte Squared as a launch day partner in the new Citrix Ready Worx Verified program," said Chris Fleck, Citrix VP Mobility Solutions and Alliances. "With the Worx App SDK, Office2 is now Worx-enabled and embedded with Citrix MDX technology which provides security, control and manageability and makes Office2 fully ready for the enterprise."

Zoombies iOS Game On Sale Memorial Day Weekend to Honor Brave Warriors - Published on 05/23/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
High Voltage Software has reduced the price of its hit game Zoombies: Animales de la Muerte! only for Memorial Day Weekend. The game provides nonstop zombie action through 45 levels and 225 challenging Sugar Skull Missions that require timing, strategy and precision. The castle-defense-genre game has been lauded by critics for its action-heavy undead fun and novel gameplay style, which lets users trace the path of their weapon of choice, including Aztec hatchets, guacamole, and even piatas.
Hoffman Estates, Illinois - High Voltage Software is honoring the brave soldiers fighting against the apocalypse this Memorial Day weekend with a price reduction to just $0.99 on its hit game Zoombies: Animales de la Muerte! The castle-defense-genre game has been lauded by critics for its action-heavy undead fun and novel gameplay style, which lets users trace the path of their weapon of choice, including Aztec hatchets, guacamole, and even piatas.
Since the Mexican zombie apocalypse began on iOS earlier this month, players have heroically put over 18.6 million Zoombies out of their misery, and cured as many as 150,000 additional undead. While the numeros speak for themselves, developer and end-of-the-world experto Eric Nofsinger is sounding the trumpet for brave new soldiers to enlist against the terrifying Zoombie hordes.
"Over 350,000 animales have been liberated from the affected zoo, and our zookeeper Don Eduardo is muy contento about that," says Nofsinger. "But we've made the strategic decision to put the app on sale this Memorial Day to recruit additional anti-Zoombie warriors to the front lines."
The game provides nonstop zombie action through 45 levels and 225 challenging Sugar Skull Missions that require timing, strategy and precision. Players have the option to battle as either Marco or Maria, two deceptively deadly estudiantes who pack a mortal punch, while trying to rescue as many animals as possible before their brains are eaten by the Zoombies. Adding to the fun, golden pesos can be exchanged for Especiales upgrades, weapons, and costumes.
The game, available as a universal app for iPhone, iPad, and iPad Touch, mixes cartoon artistry with gory details, and has been awarded fantastic reviews from gamers on the iTunes App Store, where it averages 4.5 stars, as well as purple hearts from IGN, Pocket Gamer UK, and Gamezebo.

Tributopia App for iPhone Honors and Memorializes Loved Ones - Published on 05/23/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This Memorial Day, documentary film studio Open Eye Pictures releases Tributopia 1.0.2, an iOS app, to help mark and remember those no longer here, with the support of community through social media. Tributopia creates virtual tributes through its unique mobile app interface, allowing loved ones to upload photos, leave memory notes, and tag locations that hold special meaning. Anyone can submit a tribute, or find tributes made by others, and add their own memories.
San Francisco, California - Flowers placed on the side of the road. Personal mementos left where a loved one is remembered. Pictures of family, friends or celebrities shared on Facebook - words and memories filling the comments section. How we remember those who have left this life is a complex, emotional and social process, often shared with friends, family and even strangers. This Memorial Day, documentary film studio Open Eye Pictures releases Tributopia, an iOS app, to help mark and remember those no longer here, with the support of community through social media.
In an increasingly mobile world, people are losing touch with places and rituals for mourning and remembrance. Tributopia creates virtual tributes through its unique mobile app interface, allowing loved ones to upload photos, leave memory notes, and tag locations that hold special meaning.
The app launches today with hundreds of global tributes, from Princess Diana to Martin Richards, the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings. Anyone can submit a tribute, or find tributes made by others, and add their own memories. Using geo-tagging and augmented reality, the user can locate memories on a map or look through the viewfinder to see tributes nearby.
The idea for Tributopia came to Andy Abrahams Wilson, founder and president of Open Eye Pictures, during the filming of the PBS documentary "The Grove", a profile of the National AIDS Memorial in San Francisco. "I realized how important it was to have a place to remember and a community to remember with," said Wilson. "Tributopia is a groundbreaking way to connect memory to place, and join in a community based on shared loss."

iCrypter 1.0 for iOS - Impregnable Encryption/Decryption, Military Style - Published on 05/23/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ProtectStar today introduces iCrypter 1.0 for iOS, its new utility that provides strong 256-bit encryption for incoming and outgoing messages sent via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, or iMessage. Unlike some other encryption apps, there is no pay-per-message charge. The iCrypter Contacts Tool is itself encrypted, and it stores the different passwords shared by the sender and his or her contacts, which allow them to open each other's messages using the iCrypter app on their iDevices.
Miami, Florida - ProtectStar today is pleased to introduce iCrypter 1.0 for iOS, its new utility that provides strong 256-bit encryption for incoming and outgoing messages sent via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, or iMessage. Unlike some other encryption apps, there is no pay-per-message charge for encryption or decryption. The iCrypter Contacts Tool, built into the app, is itself securely encrypted, and it stores the different passwords shared by the sender and his or her iCrypter Contacts. These secret passwords allow the sender and receivers to automatically open each other's messages with the iCrypter app installed on each of their iDevices. The encryption process is carried out right on the user's iDevice, and the symmetrical cryptography method, where sender and receiver share a common key, guarantees that messages can be read solely by their intended recipients. The utility will be released on the App Store during the first week of June at a special introductory
price.
Feature Highlights:
* Powerful 256-bit encryption for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Ensure the privacy and security of sensitive information sent in a message
* Ideal for messages sent via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, or iMessage
* Built-in iCrypter Contacts Tool keeps shared passwords encrypted
* Optional fail-safe function securely deletes all data in the app if accessed by an unauthorized person
* Released on the App Store during the first week of June at a special introductory price
It is well known that emails and text messages are much like postcards, as they can potentially be read by any Internet user. Passing through numerous server node points on the way to their destination, such communications are totally open, non-secured, and modifiable. ProtectStar, the experts in mobile security solutions, with more than 275,000 customers worldwide, developed iCrypter to enable users to easily send and receive emails and text messages that are 256-bit AES protected. The Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm is one of the most impregnable available today and is used to encrypt top-secret government, industrial, and military documents.
To further enhance the usability of this convenient encryption app, iCrypter contains an optional fail-safe feature. Should the iDevice be lost or stolen, all data, including encrypted messages and passwords, is erased if an incorrect password is used five times in an attempt to run the app (iCrypter's password is not an alphanumeric string, but a series of drags across an unlabelled, 4x4 keypad). Completely unrecoverable in accordance with military security standards, such as the U.S. Department of Defense's DoD 5220.22-M E method, the erase function employs ProtectStar's own, prize-winning, iShredder technology.
iCrypter is recommended for confidential correspondence between and within:
* Large companies
* Domestic or foreign company divisions or sites
* Attorneys, tax consultants, and clients
* Investment bankers
* Stockbrokers and institutional investors
* Mergers & Acquisitions managers
* Anyone who sends messages containing sensitive information
In addition to emails and other messages, iCrypter enables users to encrypt attached photos, videos, or other document files. Security conscious users can now send a message and an attached spreadsheet and have both encrypted automatically. The app works with most file types, including: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Numbers, Keynote, and Pages.
"The security professionals at ProtectStar guarantee that iCrypter contains no hidden back door or master key," stated Christopher Bohn of ProtectStar. "In the interests of complete transparency, the symmetrical encryption algorithm used in iCrypter is freely available to users for their own proprietary validation and analysis purposes."
Language Support:
* English, German, and Spanish
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 14.5 MB
Pricing and Availability:
iCrypter 1.0 is scheduled for release in the App Store, Utilities category, during the first week of June. The app is regularly priced at $4.99 (USD), but will be available at the special launch price of $0.99 for the first seven days. Review copies are available on request.

Private Notes 1.0 Free for iOS-Note Pad Hides Secret, Secure Photo Album - Published on 05/23/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DigitCont today introduces Private Notes 1.0 free for iOS, their app that hides a private photo album inside a simple note taking app. Unlike apps designed specifically for password-protected photo storage, Private Notes does not mention or access photos. Users can safely share their iDevice with others, confident that the existence of any private photos will never be discovered. Only by entering the password in the app's search bar and then shaking the device can the private photos be viewed.
Flushing, New York - DigitCont today is pleased to introduce Private Notes 1.0 free for iOS, their new app that hides private photos inside a simple note taking app. Unlike apps designed for password-protected photo storage, Private Notes provides no hint that it can be used for anything but note taking. Users can safely share their iDevice with others, confident that the existence of any private photos will never be discovered. Only by entering the password in the app's search bar and then shaking the device can the private photo album be viewed.
With billions of people worldwide carrying hundreds or thousands of photos on their mobile devices, photo security has become a practical concern for many. Most users have at least a few photos on their iDevice that they would like to prevent others from viewing without permission. Password protection is unreliable, because users regularly share passwords with others when they share their mobile device. Passwords are also easy to find, frequently stored on the mobile device, a computer, or written down. The most effective solution to the problem of photo security is having no password-protected photo storage app that others are tempted to access.
Private Notes is the solution. With a simple screen icon displaying an ordinary notepad, Private Notes is a fully functional note-taking app. The user and others can use the app to dictate notes or manually type text. Notes are saved normally, and it is impossible to discover the app's true function. There are no prompts, reminders, directions, info, or settings. Only the user knows that entering his or her secret password and then shaking the device opens the app's internal, private photo album.
Feature Highlights:
* Notepad outside and private photos inside
* Notepad is fully functional
* You can really use it to take notes!
* Private photos are revealed by entering password and shaking the mobile device
* Private album is stored within the app
* Other people cannot download your photos even by connecting to iTunes
* Intuitive interface just like Photo App
* Direct copy from public album to private album
* Low profile screen icon avoids calling attention to the app
* Optional full version removes ad support and adds unlimited photo library
"You can copy photos from your public album to your Private Notes' private album directly," stated Kit Yu Choy on behalf of DigitCont. "Photos inside your private album cannot be synced to your computer, and this ensures that these photos will remain only on your mobile device. When you delete the Private Notes app, your private album is also deleted."
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 3.4 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Private Notes (Lite Version) 1.0 is free (ad-supported) and available worldwide in the iTunes App Store in the Productivity category. Private Notes 1.0 (Full Version) is $2.99 (USD) and is available through an in-app purchase or directly from the App Store. The app is also available for Android and Kindle.

* Safe - sound degradation and other safety features guard against interference
"This technology will be a great fit for developers looking for a proximity communication solution for their Apps and Games that is relevant right now," said Marcelo Ramos, CTO of NearBytes.
NearBytes is appropriate for many apps that currently, or plan on using NFC, such as mobile payments, promotional coupons, customized check-ins, games and more. Also with the licensing models based on actual NearBytes use, developers can use the technology and will only have to pay if people really use it within their applications and games, and then only when it passes the 50,000 threshold.
"We believe that NearBytes is particularly suited to apps or games that involve exchanging small chunks of data, such as e-wallets, loyalty and mileage apps, contact sharing, vending machine payment systems, sign-in and turnstile apps, trading cards, collectibles, Top Trumps type games and so forth. An added advantage is that none of the smartphones need be online - they only need to be close when exchanging data," explained Marcelo.
NFC adoption has not followed the projections made two years ago. Many high-end devices have shipped without the NFC chip. And almost none of the legacy SmartPhones being used now have the NFC chip. "Any app that is dependant on NFC will require several years to become mainstream. Our technology makes all those apps that are waiting for NFC available right now, giving them a headstart of several years in the market," said Marcelo.
Taking part of the NearBytes Beta Program is very simple. Developers can register to test and use NearBytes, and will be able to publish applications and games using their APPID, supplied to them by the NearBytes team. The NearBytes Dev area has all the necessary documents and tutorials, enabling software developers to include the NearBytes SDK in their iOS and Android games and apps. There's a forum to get help and to give and receive tips from the developer community.
To take part, developers should register as Beta-Testers on the NearBytes site. The NearBytes SDK will launch on Monday 27th May. Get ready to be part of the new era of data transmission!
