match2blue Launches New Radar App for LinkedIn - Published on 06/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

For users of the worlds largest business network, LinkedIn, there is now a new app that makes networking more mobile and effective. As the first app of its kind, mapp2link 1.2.2 sends users a push message on their smartphone whenever relevant LinkedIn contacts are located nearby, without compromising their privacy. Never miss a business partner again, and network with business contacts in spontaneous meetings. The app is being launched worldwide and is available in English.

Cupertino, California - match2blue, an IT service provider specializing in mobile marketing, is launching a pioneering app for LinkedIn with new functionality. LinkedIn was launched in 2003 and now boasts over 200 million registered members in over 200 countries, making it one of the worlds largest social platforms and the most influential network for business relationships. The mapp2link 1.2.2 app accesses LinkedIn and uses the smartphone to build a bridge between the Internet and real life.

Mobile Networking with mapp2link - How It Works:
With mapp2link open or running silently in the background, users receive a message whenever a business contact who they are linked to on LinkedIn is nearby. This push function can be switched on or off for each contact individually as desired. The app displays all the users LinkedIn contacts and indicates which ones have the app installed on their smartphone. If they have the app, users can contact them straight away using the integrated chat function. If LinkedIn contacts do not have the app, they can be invited to install it with just one click. mapp2link helps you to get the most from trade fairs, conferences, and business trips. Never miss a business partner again, and network with business contacts in spontaneous meetings.

mapp2link is also geared to the needs of LinkedIn members when it comes to privacy and data security. The apps push messages tell the user when contacts are located in a town or district within a certain radius but does not reveal their exact location. This makes mapp2link very different from other location-based smartphone apps that allow users to pinpoint all of their contacts, and sometimes even unknown users, at any time and from any location.

The application is also more energy-efficient than other localization apps: thanks to the intelligent query logic, it uses less than one percent of the battery charge per hour, even when the app is running in the background.

Language Support:
English and German

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 12.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
mapp2link 1.2.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. The app is also being planned for Android and will be available in the Google Play Store in the coming months.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer, Serge Belov, announces LottoPal 1.6 for iOS. LottoPal is the ultimate Canadian lottery player assistant. It helps to improve the chances of winning by generating numbers that follow statistical patterns. LottoPal generates number combinations with characteristics that fall within the bounds of most frequently occurring patterns. In addition, it allows players to adjust filters to follow particular patterns they prefer or use safe defaults.

Charlottetown, Canada - Independent developer, Serge Belov, announces LottoPal 1.6 for iOS. LottoPal is the ultimate Canadian lottery player assistant. It helps to improve the chances of winning by generating numbers that follow statistical patterns.

LottoPal generates number combinations with characteristics (the sum, odd/even, high/low, and consecutive numbers) that fall within the bounds of most frequently occurring patterns. In addition, it allows players to adjust filters to follow particular patterns they prefer or use safe defaults.

Feature Highlights:

* Automated winnings amount checking
* User-entered picks
* Advance play (auto-repeating plays)
* Past winning numbers

Other supported games (results only):
* Atlantic Tag
* Quebec Extra
* Ontario Encore
* Western Extra
* BC Extra

Become a smarter lotto player with LottoPal and win more! The odds of winning in 649 lottery is approximately 1 in 14 million.

By comparison, you are more likely to:
Be killed in a terrorist attack while travelling (1 in 650,000) Die - during an average lifetime - of flesh-eating disease (1 in one million) Be killed by lightning (1 in 56,439). You are three times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident driving 16 kilometres to buy your ticket than winning the jackpot.

Probability:
The theory of probability is a mathematical model for understanding, describing, analyzing, and predicting phenomena which exhibit random fluctuations. While the subject has roots in games of chance, it has developed far beyond to address fundamental issues in genetics, physics, medicine, communications theory, and software reliability. While small scale prediction cannot be achieved with high degree of accuracy, there is remarkable regularity which can be studied mathematically.

Improving The Odds Of Winning:
Statistical analysis of thousands of draws in the history of Canadian lottery games since 1982 shows well defined trends. Choosing number combinations which fall within the thresholds of these trends have a greater probability of winning.

How LottoPal Works:
Each combination of numbers has characteristics which can be tracked over time. Tracking these characteristics statistically is known as playing "strategies".

An example of a strategy is the sum of all numbers in a combination. The lowest possible sum of all numbers in a combination for a 649 game is 21 (1+2+3+4+5+6). The highest possible sum is 279 (44+45+46+47+48+49).

Strategies:
The sum of all numbers is one of several strategies LottoPal uses to profile number combinations. LottoPal employs the following strategies:

* Sum of all Numbers
* High and Low Numbers
* Odd and Even Numbers
* Consecutive Numbers

All strategies can be used simultaneously to further improve the odds of winning.

Language Support:
English and French

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 4.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
LottoPal 1.6 is only $4.99 CAD and available in Canada exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.
