Sydney, Australia - InnoLab today is thrilled to announce the release of Bowling Paradise FREE 2.4 for iOS, an update to their innovative, 3D bowling simulation game for everyone. With a powerful physics engine, this interactive game computes the effects of velocity, angle, spin, collision, and gravity for both the bowling ball and pins. Players have full control over the ball's initial placement behind the foul line, its velocity and direction on release, and left or right spin as it travels towards the pins. Bowling Paradise FREE includes 6 exotic lane locations/styles, including undulating lanes and those in outer space where the ball flies onto lane. Bowling Paradise FREE is a fun, unique 3D Bowling Game with many options to choose from.

New in this release:

A regulation score sheet appears at the top of the screen and all scoring is automatic. The initial position of the ball behind the foul line is controlled by moving the ball left or right. To throw, players swipe the ball toward the pins, and the speed and direction of the swipe determines the velocity and path of the ball.

Novae 1.0 on iOS: Imaginative Match-4 Tile Game Played on Circular Board - Published on 06/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Domsware today introduces Novae 1.0 for iOS its match-4 tile game with a circular board where tiles "fall" inward, toward the center, following a spiral pattern. With circular tiles of five different colors, players choose where to place new tiles one by one. Four or more tiles of the same color, contiguous horizontally or vertically, make a match, removing the tiles while adding to the score. Novae requires all matches to have at least one tile touching the center on one of its axes.

Toulouse, France - Domsware today is pleased to introduce Novae 1.0 for iOS, its innovative, match-4, tile game played on a circular board where tiles "fall" inward, toward the center, following a spiral pattern. With circular tiles of five different colors, players choose where to place new tiles one by one. Four or more tiles of the same color, contiguous horizontally and/or vertically, make a match, and the tiles disappear while adding to the score. Remaining tiles may fall inward after a match. Novae derives its name from stars, as the attractions laws recall a phenomenon called "accretion" commonly found in astrophysics. Matches must include one tile touching the center on one of its axes. Featuring infinite levels of play, the player must restart from the beginning at level 0 after failing any level.

Feature Highlights:
* Classic, match-4 action
* Tiles fall inward, toward the center
* Tiles come in 5 different colors
* Match 4 or more tiles and they are removed, adding to your score
* Level mechanism and numerous scoring bonus, multipliers and combos
* Player can see in advance the next tile to be dropped on the board
* Game Center integration with LeaderBoard and Achievements
* No in-app purchases: pay once, play forever

Tile matching games are among the most popular puzzle games in the App Store. The eye and mind are drawn to the panoply of small, variously colored tiles in motion, and the goal of creating proximity (usually match-3 or more). Novae takes the classic match concept and creates a fascinating variation, where tiles do not fall down to the bottom of the screen; they fall inward, toward the screen's center. Moreover, not every grouping of four or more like-colored tiles makes a match; at least one tile in the grouping must be one of the four tiles touching the center on one of its axes.

Novae's gameboard is an empty Cartesian graph set in interstellar space. The X and Y axes are each the thickness of one tile. The 0-point of the graph is the absolute center of the gameboard, and no tile can occupy it. The four central squares, though there is no actual grid on the board, correspond to 1 and -1 on the X (horizontal) axis and 1 and -1 on the Y (vertical) axis. Tiles are dropped, one by one, at either the far left or the far right of the X-axis, or the top or bottom of the Y-axis. Once dropped, tiles fall toward O, the center grid square. As axes fill up, tiles spill out in a spiral, clockwise direction, ultimately creating a circle of tiles.

Free from time trial and other pressures, the player is free to enjoy the strategic subtleties of the game. The player can see the current and the next tile available to be dropped, which allows for thoughtful planning. Players usually have a choice of four axis endpoints to drop their tile. While a maximum of four different like-colored tile groupings can be made, the game includes tiles of five different colors (RGB and MY). As unmatchable tiles fill the board, the player is challenged to make a match that will bring an unmatchable color to one of the center squares.

"I designed the game to be Zen with no enervating gameplay," commented creator Dominique Vial. "I wanted an attractive and immersive game you can play again and again after a hard day's work or in meditative phase on the couch. A sober and soothing design to not distract the player for the main goal: play and have fun. I did not forget gamers, as there are strategies and a lot of 'tips' to improve scores: multipliers, special events, combos, etc."

Language Support:
* English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 6.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Novae 1.0 is $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

The mature application is ideal for both novices and experts. An illustrated, interactive Tutorial demonstrates the basics of Macros in minutes.

The Macro Actions Library contains 200+ Actions in the following 21 Categories: Application Control, Clipboard, Control Flow and Behavior of a Macro, Debugger, Execution, File, Google Chrome Control, Image, Interface Control, iTunes Control, Keyboard Maestro Control, MIDI, Notifications, Open, QT Player Controls, Safari Controls, Switchers, System Control, Text, Variables, and Web.

"Whether you want to automatically expand a block of text when you start typing it, or have your Mac automatically perform a series of steps with a single keystroke, Keyboard Maestro is the complete solution," stated Peter N Lewis of Stairways Software. "Record your Macro as you perform each step, or build using the Macro Library and Editor."

Stairways Software was founded in April 1995 by Peter N Lewis to further develop and sell the world-class Mac software that made him famous. Stairways is a privately held Proprietary Limited company based in Perth, Western Australia, and Peter continues to lead the company as President and Chief Executive Officer. Peter's goal is to bring high quality Internet and Unix tools to the Mac, combining the traditional Mac ease-of-use with the power of the Internet and Unix. His mastery of Unix also proved invaluable, as Apple transitioned Mac OS to the Unix-based Mac OS X. Along the way, the company acquired Keyboard Maestro, which company members themselves found to be an indispensable productivity tool, and they have continued to enhance its features and usability. Stairways Software remains a small efficient company, which means when users contact them, he or she will be dealing with someone who can directly and personally handle any questions.

CitySlicker MacBook Air Case Offers Standout Protection and Style - Published on 06/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Take the MacBook Air mobile office along in WaterField Designs' thin and light CitySlicker - a case so well-made it outlasts the Apple battery, and even the laptop itself. WaterField Designs announces the svelte CitySlicker, a protective case that complements the MacBook Air's thin, light body and features lightweight layers of padded lining, neoprene, and impact-resistant plastic. WaterField offers nine additional sleeves and bags for Apple's newly-upgraded 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air models.

San Francisco, California - WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in locally-manufactured laptop sleeves and designer bags and cases for digital gear, announces the svelte CitySlicker, a protective case that complements the new MacBook Air's thin, light body. The MacBook Air's improved battery life and enhanced Wi-Fi performance now allows people to stay connected all day, all the time. As working in cafes, restaurants, and bookstores becomes the norm, protection-on-the-go is a necessity. To keep the slim MacBook Air safe and secure without adding weight or bulk, WaterField Designs' MacBook Air Case is the perfect answer.

Measuring just an inch-and-a-half wide, the CitySlicker MacBook Air Case keeps the laptop snug in lightweight layers of padded lining, neoprene, and impact-resistant plastic. The black ballistic nylon exterior is graced with a supple leather flap that snaps into place, giving the case a clean, retro look. Customers can choose from bold or subtle leather colors. Small, stretchy pockets underneath the flap and a backside, semi-opaque pocket with self-locking zippers keep accessories organized. Options include adding a handle, a strap, or both.

WaterField offers MacBook Air sleeves and bags for Apple's newly-announced and upgraded 11- and 13-inch models in addition to the CitySlicker. These include the classic SleeveCase, Outback Sleeve, Suede Jacket, Smart Case, Air Wallet and Travel Express. Thirteen-inch specialty laptop bags include the Racer-X, HardCase, Muzetto (Leather and Outback styles) and Medium VertiGo.

"The challenge of designing a case for the Air is figuring out how to keep it thin and lightweight, even with the chunky, square power supply," shared founder Gary Waterfield. "We found a creative way to do this with the CitySlicker. The new Air may have a really long battery life, but people will still need their power supply when they're out and about."

Additional 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air Cases & Sleeves:
SleeveCase: A water-resistant, ballistic nylon shell envelops shock-absorbing neoprene for ultimate protection. Choice of trim color and horizontal or vertical orientation, optional D-rings and strap, and Piggyback accessory pouch. TSA-friendly.

Outback Sleeve: Same proven protection as the WaterField SleeveCase. A brown, waxed-canvas shell and grizzly or chocolate leather trim combine for a TSA-friendly, custom-fit.

Suede Jacket Sleeve: Custom-fitted, scratch-free, TSA-friendly Ultrasuede(R) sleeve for the MacBook Air. Small pull-tabs ease laptop in or out and a neoprene strip adds extra protection.

Smart Case: Multi-layered padding includes an Ultrasuede(R), scratch-free liner, an impact-resistant, protective insert, and a water-resistant, nylon exterior. Six color choices framed with thin, brown, leather sides. TSA-friendly.

Travel Express: This ultimate grab-and-go MacBook Air case fits the new laptop plus necessities. Features include scratch-free interior pockets, foam lining, an impact-resistant plastic insert, lightweight, optional D-rings and strap.

Air Wallet: Nylon and leather combine for a great option to carry the MacBook Air plus accessories. Features: scratch-free interior pockets; foam lining; impact-resistant plastic insert; stretchy outside back pocket; optional D-rings and strap. Six color options with distressed, brown leather sides.

13-inch MacBook Air Laptop Bags:
Racer-X: This laptop briefcase features two zippered compartments - one ruggedly-padded, form fitted for the MacBook Air 13-inch, and another for documents and an iPad. The bag includes internal accessory pockets and a front, quick-access pocket. A rear, bottom-zippered pocket allows the bag to slip over luggage handles. Choice of six accent colors.

HardCase: This executive style laptop bag features a triple-layered, protective laptop chamber, two narrow pockets under the flap and a secured, soft-lined back pocket for necessities. A dual-tone leather flap, an integrated leather handle, and an aluminum paragliding buckle create a refined look. Customers choose leather flap colors.

Muzetto: The gorgeous Muzetto vertical messenger bag is available in distressed leather or brown waxed-canvas, both with a choice of six nylon accent colors and five sizes including one for each the 11- and 13-inch Airs. Two main interior compartments include one with soft lining and one with gold interior and a zippered pocket. A back pocket holds magazines or files.

VertiGo: An ideal travel bag for the 13-inch MacBook Air, the medium VertiGo is constructed of durable, black, ballistic nylon with colorful choices of either Indium(TM) or leather trim.

Network Toolbox for iOS just released - Don't trust the evil - Published on 06/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer and author of several well-known iOS apps, Marcus Roskosch today announces Network Toolbox 2.01.01, his new productivity app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Network Toolbox helps to analyze your local or public networks for security issues or wrong configurations, even for the inexperienced user. By using this app, you will be able to identify such issues and once they are identified, they can often easily be solved.

Essen, Germany - Marcus Roskosch, independent software developer and founder of Creating Your App, just released his new iOS app Network Toolbox for iPhone, iPod and iPad.

Despite of rumors about the NSA Prism scandal or Chinese Hackers attacking networks and servers around the world, there is something that each of us can do to increase cyber security.

Network Toolbox helps to identify security issues or wrong configurations of your local or public networks that often makes it too easy for cyber attackers to break into your systems.

Even for an inexperienced user, it will now be easier than ever to check your home network for ports that are unintentionally left open to the web. By using this Network Toolbox app, such a security scan can be performed within seconds by following the included Guides and How-To's. An included Glossary also explains terms from A like "Access control" to Z like "Zero day".

For deeper security analysis, Network toolbox offers various tools to connect and inspect your networks. Regular Network tools like Browsers, Mail or FTP clients usually hide information about the connected server from the user. Network toolbox on the other hand can visualize such information as this information is often the first starting point for a cyber-attack. Cyber criminals can use this information to learn about your network and to find vulnerable devices.

By using this app, you will be able to identify such issues and once they are identified, they can often easily be solved.

"Don't trust the evil," Marcus said on his website. Don't trust what suppliers of NAS Servers, Web-Cameras, Backup devices or Network router tells you. Often those devices are shipped poorly pre-configured and just claim to be secure. Be your own Hacker and try to compromise your own network to locate those devices and protect your data.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 26.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Network Toolbox 2.01.01 is $5.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Music Learning Lab Now Available in App Store - Published on 06/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Scientifically designed learning environment meets kid-friendly animations to form a powerful new teaching tool, Music Learning Lab. Seattle based Generategy, LLC released Music Learning Lab 1.0.2 in an effort to make effective, early music education accessible for children everywhere. The app prepares learners for music appreciation, using music software such as GarageBand, and further music instruction privately or in school.

Seattle, Washington - In an effort to make effective, early music education accessible for children everywhere, Generategy, LLC has released Music Learning Lab 1.0.2 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The App prepares learners for music appreciation, using music software such as GarageBand, and further music instruction privately or in school.

"With the launch of Music Learning Lab, Generategy has an opportunity not only to foster the success of many budding musicians, but to demonstrate the real potential of apps in education. Our goal was not simply to make learning music fundamentals fun, but to help kids find the fun in learning and making music," said company co-founder and General Manager Russell Layng, a philosophy major at Tulane University and jazz drummer.

"Through three different sections, 'Learn,' 'Create,' and 'Play,' Music Learning Lab offers a balanced, well-rounded approach to music education."

In the Learn area, 14 lessons of increasing complexity teach foundational music skills. The Play area comprises 3 mini-games to practice and extend these skills. Rewards specific to music learning are built into the program to keep learners motivated and engaged completing lessons and levels unlocks up to 15 instruments and 9 backing bands to use in the Create area. The Create area allows learners to freely express their newly acquired skills by composing their own musical pieces, using 2 instruments, drums, and a backing band all at once. Learners can choose pitches, add longer melodies and drum patterns to their pieces, and try different instruments and backing bands. Once composed, learners can see their piece performed by an animated band.

"Traditionally, music instruction starts with concepts that are difficult to master without certain skills. We identified these necessary skills higher and lower pitch discrimination, interpreting sounds and melodies as written symbols, interpreting written symbols as sounds and designed the lessons in Music Learning Lab using methods that combine our love and knowledge of music with principles derived from basic learning sciences research," said Generategy co-founder Dr. Paul Andronis, a learning scientist who trained in classical piano for 18 years. Dr. Andronis is currently Chair of the Department of Psychology at Northern Michigan University.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
