Leo and Jacob's First Words - What's Hot in U.S. App Store for Toddlers - Published on 06/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leo & Jacob today announces Leo & Jacob's First Words free for iOS. The latest update to its education app for toddlers was recently cited by Apple in What's Hot in the U.S. App Store. Designed for young children from 18 months to 3 years old, parents read the word aloud, and kids identify the correct picture from a group of three. Unlike similar apps, Leo & Jacob's First Words contains hundreds of different words and dozens of special effect animations, rewarding the child for correct answers.

Toronto, Canada - Leo & Jacob today is pleased to announce Leo & Jacob's First Words 1.1 free for iOS, an update to its education app for toddlers that was recently cited by Apple in What's Hot in the U.S. App Store. Designed for young children from 18 months to 3 years old, parents read the word aloud, and kids identify the correct picture from a group of three. Unlike similar apps, it contains hundreds of different words and dozens of special effects and transitions that reward correct answers with applause, cheers, and celebratory computer graphics and animation.

Feature Highlights:
* Vocabulary building, educational game for toddlers from 18 months to 3 years old
* Parents read the word aloud and kids identify the correct photo
* Toddlers must choose from three different photographs
* Correct answers are rewarded with applause, cheers, and festive computer graphics and animation
* Incorrect answers give the child the opportunity to learn from their mistakes
* Retina-display ready photographs, graphics, and animation

Leo & Jacob's First Words features nine Categories of vocabulary words, including: Animals, Fruits & Veggies, Musical Instruments, At Home, Human Body, Vehicles, Clothes, Food, and a Random mix from all categories. The first two categories are unlocked, and the remainder are accessed via an in-app purchase. The app is an extremely effective vocabulary builder, as kids have perfect, high-resolution photographs as examples of each word. In every category, toddlers are presented with a choice of three different photos, all depicting members of the same category. As they use the app, kids move through three levels of gameplay.

For example, in the Animals category, kids are challenged to "Tap on the dog," and they must correctly select the cocker spaniel from a photo array that includes a dog, an elephant, and a lion. Young players learn which picture is the dog, and simultaneously understand that dogs, elephants, and lions are all related to each other; all are animals. Wrong answers teach as effectively as right ones, as an incorrect choice causes the photo to rock slightly and the word connected to it appears for the parent to read aloud. Right answers make the correctly identified photo grow larger, and set off a fireworks display of computer animation.

The educational game is absolutely free of judgment, competition, timing, or scoring. Incorrect answers are learning opportunities that reward the player over time by preparing them for future questions. When kids do make the correct choice, they are encouraged by cheers, applause, and a seemingly never-ending variety of colorful computer animations. Following each explosion of colors and shapes, the app segues to the next question through one of dozens of eye-catching transitions including slides, wipes, and other special effects. With so many photographs, animations, and transitions, kids will never become bored playing Leo & Jacob's First Words.

"Leo & Jacob's First Words makes the process of learning new words equally enjoyable for kids and their parents," commented Eyal Katz of Leo & Jacob. "Toddlers and adults will spend countless hours of fun together, learning the basic words in the English vocabulary."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 35.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Leo & Jacob's First Words 1.1 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. An upgrade to the full game is available as an in-app purchase for $0.99 (USD).

BumpList 1.0 for iOS-500 Apps on a Map, Updated and Recommended by Users - Published on 06/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Liquid Melon today introduces BumpList 1.0 for iOS, its free utility that displays on a map up to 500 apps recommended by the users of BumpList. A crowdsourced list updated in realtime, apps may be resubmitted once they have descended to a minimum position of 100. A world map of mini app icons lets users browse through the apps. Tapping these icons will either open to their iTunes listing without leaving BumpList, or display the app details and the location of other users also viewing the app.

Los Angeles, California - Liquid Melon today is pleased to introduce BumpList 1.0 for iOS, its free utility that displays up to 500 apps (250 free and 250 paid) recommended by the users of BumpList. A crowdsourced list displayed on a map and updated in realtime, apps may be resubmitted once they have descended to a minimum position of 100. This world map of mini app icons lets users browse through the apps, showing the locations from which the apps were submitted. Depending on user settings, tapping any of these icons will either open its listing on the iTunes App Store without leaving BumpList - enabling easy purchases and free downloads - or display the app details along with the location of other users also viewing the app by using a colored pin for each. Users may also leave remarks on their respective pins for others to read.

Feature Highlights:
* Up to 500 apps can be displayed
* No redirection to the App Store
* User generated
* Updated in real time
* Share apps easily to Twitter and Facebook
* Save apps to an archive
* Swipe to translate (if available)
* Zoom to an icon location
* Zoom to your location
* User customizable

For users, the easiest, most efficient, and equal-access app for browsing recommended apps, particularly those outside their normal sphere of interest, is BumpList. The list reflects the opinions of users rather than editors and affords an app an opportunity for extra exposure before it hits the best-selling charts on the App Store.

Retina-display ready, the mini app icons on the map are sharp and detailed. Tap one of these icons and a regular-sized icon of that app is displayed at the top of BumpList. Along with the name of the app, the following details are also listed: category of the app on the App Store, whether its a universal or device-specific app, an average rating on the App Store, and its current price or free. Users can translate the name of the app by swiping across the listing at the top of the screen. Tapping the icon at the top of the screen centers the map location of the mini icon.

Also at the top of the screen are four buttons inviting user interaction. One enables the user to leave a remark for the app (called a blurb) which then appears on their pin, changing its color from green to purple. Another saves the app to an archive for later viewing, sharing, or even price checking. The third allows the user to share the app with their friends via Twitter or Facebook. The last button displays the app on the iTunes App Store, which is simply a window that fills approximately three-fourths of the screen that contains the complete, scrolling App Store listing including full description, screenshots, information, developer info, top in-app purchases, and a version history.

"This isn't just another RSS feed showing the same list of apps on sale or free for a day," commented Aaron Braegger of Liquid Melon. "This collection of apps on a map is generated in realtime by the users of BumpList."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 2.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BumpList 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Users may submit a limited number of apps to the map free each day, or via a one-time in-app purchase of $0.99 (USD), the user can unlock this feature for unlimited submissions.

Create 3D Comics with Halftone 2 for iPad - Published on 06/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington based Juicy Bits today announces Halftone 2, an update to their 5-star award-winning Halftone app developed for iPad. Halftone 2 makes it easy to create comics with multiple page layouts; add stylish captions, customize text with professionally designed fonts, add WHAMS, BAMS, and POWS, and share the results on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Dropbox, and more. Version 1.0.1 adds a new 3D feature. The 3D comics can be viewed with standard red and cyan anaglyph glasses.

DIY Will App on Sale; includes Do-It-Yourself Will, Manual and More - Published on 06/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BGCJ Productions LLC today has announced that WillCrafter, the premier Do It Yourself Will app for iPads, is on sale for a limited time. Instead of waiting to see a lawyer, users can complete their own DIY will, and at the same time, learn about the ins and outs of wills, trusts, estate planning and more. It takes less than an hour to learn the essentials of estate planning. Once the building blocks for the DIY program are completed, WillCrafter produces a fully editable will.

Tulsa, Oklahoma - WillCrafter, the premier Do It Yourself Will app (for iPads), is available for a limited time at $2.99. Instead of waiting to see a lawyer, users can complete their own DIY will, and at the same time, learn about the ins and outs of wills, trusts, estate planning and more.

WillCrafter simplifies estate planning to three easy steps: first, by completing a comprehensive locater list, users organize and inventory what they own; second, from this list users will complete a Do-It-Yourself Will, which can be modified and tailored to fit almost any estate plan; and finally, users will benefit as they read a �Cliff Notes� manual on wills, trusts, probate, guardianships, death taxes, and more. WillCrafter even adds an optional Testamentary Trust (which defers inheritances for minors to age 25, or other ages, as determined by the user) to be used as part of the estate plan.

It takes less than an hour to learn the essentials of estate planning. As users read the manual, which is similar to an executive summary, and complete building blocks for the DIY will, they are taught how probate enters into the picture, how guardianships for children work, how IRA distributions are treated and taxed, and more.

Once the building blocks for the DIY program are completed, WillCrafter produces a fully editable will. The will is then ready for signature in accordance with the laws of the applicable state. Additionally, all entered data is stored locally on the iPad (not on a cloud), to maintain privacy. Once the will has been signed, witnessed and notarized, users will have a valid and enforceable will.

Anyone should be able to afford to have an estate planning resource, a good will, and a comprehensive checklist of the property they own. For a limited time, this iPad app is available at a reduced price of $2.99.

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

Pricing and Availability:

Dead Trigger 2 Reveals a World on the Verge of a Zombie Apocalypse - Published on 06/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Madfinger Games, responsible for the successful mobile games: Shadowgun and Dead Trigger, with the latter having been downloaded from the App Store and Google Play by more than 18M players, announces their upcoming long awaited follow-up game, Dead Trigger 2. At the E3 - Electronic Entertainment Expo, which will take place next week in LA, Madfinger Games in joint participation with NVIDIA, will present demo versions of their new release that will be available to play for all visitors.

Brno, Czech Republic - Madfinger Games, responsible for the successful mobile games: Shadowgun and Dead Trigger, with the latter having been downloaded from the App Store and Google Play by more than 18M players, announces their upcoming long awaited follow-up game, Dead Trigger 2. At the E3 - Electronic Entertainment Expo, which will take place next week in LA, Madfinger Games in joint participation with NVIDIA, will present demo versions of their new release that will be available to play for all visitors.

While the original Dead Trigger was a simple single-player game, the sequel, Dead Trigger 2 aspires to much larger ambitions. Players will be delivered to a parallel world, where humanity is engaged in a battle for control of the Earth. What was once a game with a simple theme has been parlayed into a far greater project.

"The first time you play Dead Trigger 2, you become part of a global conflict. You are not alone and you are not playing only for yourself. You are one of many survivors across continents and from different parts of the world," Marek Rabas explains the central concept of the game. "While there are individual objectives within the context of the game, you must align your efforts together with other players to fulfill a joint global objective."

The reality of this worldwide apocalyptic conflict is underlined by the fact that the game will play out in real time.

"On the day of release, we will unveil a world that has battled the ravages of a zombie plague for the past two years. The first players of Dead Trigger 2 will enter into the conflict at this precise moment, while additional players will essentially be stepping aboard a moving train. New players, who download the game a year from now, will find themselves joining in at the third year of the apocalypse," clarifies Marek Rabas with regard to the development of the game.

With each update, the action will shift to varying locations and continents with the concrete development influenced directly by the participation of players.

The developers emphasized core features in order to bring more emotional intensity into core gameplay. Aspects of the game that have undergone significant improvement include: zombie characters are more varied, dramatic game pacing has been completely re-worked so that the game will be more responsive to players' actions, combat intensity features improve the player experience and enable more thorough enjoyment in gameplay. "We placed tremendous focus on making a game that people would find entertaining," says Marek Rabas. In the following updates, the game will deliver more content - new weapons, gadgets, and zombies. "We worked hard to bring those features to the game that were absent in the first title. Players can look forward to additions such as using static weapons for heavy fights or shooting from helicopters, etc."

Players are again awaited by above-standard graphics, which remains a given at Madfinger Games. The developers of Dead Trigger 2 have introduced new graphic effects which will again push forward the boundaries of graphics.

"Real time reflections in water, dynamic vegetation, cloth simulation and even, enhanced ragdolls, these are all things that are available in Dead Trigger 2, which you will see for the first time within a mobile game," reveals Project Leader, Pavel Cizek.

"We had hoped to release Dead Trigger 2 in June but when we put into perspective all the ideas that arose in the course of development, we decided that we did not want to deprive players of a better experience and so the decision was made to move back the release date," states Madfinger Games CEO, Marek Rabas. "We wanted to release the game only when we were at a level of 100% satisfaction."

The game will be released in Free-to-play format for both iOS and Android devices. Additionally, developers have not ruled out the possibility that Dead Trigger 2 will appear simultaneously on the Mac App Store, Steam, and Facebook.

The first game in the Dead Trigger series was released in summer 2012 and has since become a massive favorite within the gaming community. It has been met with significant acclaim, among other awards, it was selected for inclusion in the App Store Best of 2012, featured in the Apple "Hall Of Fame" and won Best Technical Achievement and Community Choice at the Unite 2012: Unity Awards.

Would you like to try out the DT2 demo and learn more about the game? You can meet with the Madfinger Games Team at the E3 Expo, NVIDIA Booth: 2323, Online and Mobile Game Pavilion. Get in touch with PR Manager, Anna Porizkova and schedule a meeting at E3.

360Works Releases Plastic 2 - Published on 06/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

360Works, a leading FileMaker product developer and innovator, announces Plastic 2. The Plastic 2 plug-in for FileMaker makes it easy to process secure, SSL-encrypted credit card payments from FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server, and FileMaker Web Publishing. Plastic 2 can run charges and transactions with credit-card swipe readers, card-not-present accounts, direct check debiting, and more. It also introduces powerful security features, such as profile based payments, to protect customer data.

Atlanta, Georgia - 360Works, a leading FileMaker product developer and innovator, is proud to announce the release of Plastic 2! The Plastic 2 plug-in for FileMaker makes it easy to process secure, SSL-encrypted credit card payments from FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server, and FileMaker Web Publishing.

Plastic 2 can run charges and transactions with credit-card swipe readers, card-not-present accounts, direct check debiting, and much more. Plastic 2 also introduces powerful security features, such as profile based payments, to protect customer data.

Profile-based payments, also known as tokenization, save payment and customer information with the merchant provider instead of in your database. By keeping this sensitive data out of user's solutions, obtaining PCI compliance is much simpler. Using 360Works Plastic, the database only stores a customer token that will process payments quickly and securely, without having to re-key or swipe card data multiple times.

Plastic 2 also can set up recurring billing to automatically charge customers on a schedule. Save the payment information straight to the gateway, not to the database, along with a specified time period and frequency. Bill customers on flexible, customized schedules, perfect for non-profit or donation campaigns. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time.

With Plastic 2, accept electronic checks or direct debits with Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. Supported with six gateways, this payment method will process a direct debit sale, void, or refund straight to a bank account.

Plastic 2 now supports 12 total gateways, giving users complete choice over which payment gateway to use. Plastic 1 supported Authorize.Net and PayPal PayFlow Pro. Plastic 2 introduces the following gateways as well: First Data, RealEx, Merchant eSolutions, Merchant Warrior, PayTrace, Moneris, USA ePay, InternetSecure, VirtualMerchant, and TransFirst.

Integrating all these new features, as well as Plastic favorites like card swipes, authorizations, and more, is made easier with a brand-new demo file that features scripts ready-made for any solution. Simply find the feature required in the list of scripts and copy it straight into a FileMaker store, point of sale system, eCommerce site, or even an in-house invoicing system. 360Works' new documentation website, will also provide a great deal of guidance and includes instructions on how to implement each gateway and its features for a solution.

Plastic 2 is 360Works' first 64 bit plug-in, meaning it will run in the custom web publishing engine in FileMaker Server 12. 64 bit versions of Plastic 1 and other 360Works plug-ins are coming soon and will be posted at 360Works online.

With these features and improvements, now Plastic 2 is not only the easiest way to charge credit cards with FileMaker, it's also the most full-featured. Charge credit cards securely, knowing that Plastic 2 takes care of the work for you.

Pricing and Availability:
Plastic 2 is included with the 360Works Portfolio Bundle, which means that current subscribers will receive a Plastic 2 Enterprise License for free. It can be purchased separately as a $149.00 USD single user license, $195.00 Workgroup license for 10 users, or $695.00 Enterprise license for unlimited users and FileMaker Server/Web Publishing deployment. Upgrade pricing from version 1 is also available. For more information, or to download a free, fully featured demo, please visit the Plastics 2 website.
