Mobile foam cleaner NoBacs kills germs on your phone/tablet in 1 minute - Published on 06/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bacteria and viruses are everywhere. Many people make a point to regularly wipe the door handles in their office. However, smart phones and tablets remain untouched - even so this is where significantly more germs are located. Now there is an antidote against mobile bacteria and viruses: NoBacs. The gentle foam cleaner for the mobile world cleans sensitive surfaces without a harmful affect. It does not penetrate any device openings and eliminates germs in less than one minute.

Seevetal, Germany - They are not visible, yet millions of them exist. Studies and tests have shown that bacteria and viruses can be found in large numbers on smart phones and tablets. Actually, this should not come as a surprise, since mobile devices are constantly being handled throughout the day.

It is therefore vital to regularly disinfect the devices, in order to reduce the number of germs as much as possible. Traditional cleaners are often times too abrasive and could possibly damage the sensitive surface of expensive equipment.

IPS Gifts & Product Service GmbH is proud to present a new form of foam cleaner, especially designed for the mobile world. The aerosol foam cleaner (shake well before use), with the self-explanatory name NoBacs, manages to reliably eliminate bacteria and viruses - in less than one minute.

NoBacs can be trusted to quickly clean all smooth surfaces, especially smart phones and tablets. But that's not all. Eyeglasses, monitors and even keyboards can be safely disinfected with the gentle foam cleaner.

Even better: unlike traditional disinfectant sprays NoBacs aerosol foam does not penetrate microphones, speakers or other device openings.

NoBacs comes in a small aerosol spray can. It easily fits into a purse, a coat pocket or on a desk, making it convenient to always keep it handy - anywhere and anytime.

Peter Hellings, CEO of IPS Gifts & Product Service GmbH, which produces NoBacs: "Our product is geared towards hygiene-conscious smart phone and tablet users, which are on the move a lot and would like to specifically combat this underestimated form of transmitting germs."

Because of the virus and bacteria-fighting cleansing foam, NoBacs is suitable for use in a clinical environment as well. Wherever several people share a mobile device, including schools, educational facilities or government agencies, it is more than worthwhile to pay extra attention to hygiene.

Pricing and Availability:
The Mobile Cleaner NoBacs is available for purchase (6.99 Euro). Offer to the press: If you would like to try NoBacs contact Presseburo Typemania with your contact information. We gladly send you a sample which may be tested or raffled off.

It supports High Dynamic-Range images, including RGBA float and RGBA double, as well as radiance, PFM, and OpenEXR images. The app's color profile management capabilities detect and apply embedded profiles or color profiles specified in the Exif or Makernote section.

The new Map layout intuitively display images with assigned GPS location and lets the photographer manually geo-tag and modify locations.

Feature Highlights:
* Progressive display, on single or multiple monitor configurations, of images of virtually any size
* Multi-threading to take advantage of multicore CPUs
* Display color corrected images and soft-proofing function
* Compatible with High Dynamic-Range images like TIFF float as well as Radiance and OpenEXR

* Image navigation with Apple Remote Control or Magic Trackpad

* Filtering by tags and metadata

* User defined places

* Share your images on Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, SmugMug, 500px and Picasa Web Albums
* Maps layout: geotag your photographs and edit locations with a simple drag and drop
* Integrated QuickTime movie player

Designers can browse images fullscreen or as a slideshow on a single or multiple monitor system. Navigating through images is simplified with Apple Remote Control and Magic Trackpad support. Lyn also has built-in connectivity to allow publishing to Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, SmugMug, 500px and Picasa; email photos using Mail.app, Mailplane, or Postbox. Photographers can easily mark photos with flags, rate photos for sorting (1 to 5 stars), assign keywords, add color labels or assign location. Photos can be filtered and sorted with the Search toolbar field or displayed chronologically from oldest to newest or the reverse.

"Photographers, graphic artists, and web designers looking for a simple, uncomplicated way to view, browse, tag and share images should try the free download of Lyn", stated independent developer Mirko Viviani.

Bengali Dictionary 8.2 Released for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Published on 06/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iThinkdiff today announces Bengali Dictionary 8.2, an update to their popular English to Bengali dictionary app for iOS devices. With Bengali Dictionary, users can search common and concise English words to see corresponding Bengali explanations. This dictionary features a large database for English words with Bengali explanation. Version 8.2 adds an extended translation dictionary, Bengali keyboard for Bengali text entry, and Word Fight Multiplayer game to make language study fun.

Melaka, Malaysia - iThinkdiff releases version 8.2 of its Bengali Dictionary app with three new features: an extended translation dictionary (now with 92,716 Bengali words), Bengali keyboard for Bengali text entry, and Word Fight Multiplayer game to make language study fun.

The leading iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch dictionary for bi-directional translation between English and Bengali now contains an extended dictionary. Lead programmer Mahmud Ahsan said, "Now that the dictionary is complete with over 90,000 Bengali words, both students and travelers can use Bengali Dictionary to translate nearly anything from Bengali into English or vice versa. Over 220 million people speak Bengali, and it is my hope that this dictionary will make communication between Bengali speakers and English speakers easier than ever before."

The new keyboard toggle in Bengali Dictionary version 8.2 makes it trivially easy to look up written Bengali words and find their English translations. "Wikipedia lists Bengali script as one of the most popular writing systems in the world," continues Mr. Ahsan, "so it was important for us to help users look up words quickly without having to transliterate them into Latin [English] characters first."

Students in particular will appreciate the addition of the Word Fight Multiplayer game into Bengali Dictionary 8.2. The game lets both Bengali-speaking students learning English and English-speaking students learning Bengali compete against other students in an online vocabulary game. Whoever can translate the most words first wins, creating an easy and fun way to help students improve their translation skills.

The new version continues to include popular features from previous versions:
* A phrase translator which can translate phrases and sentences from English to Bengali and from Bengali to English
* Pronunciation of English text to help students and travelers say words correctly
* Word bookmarks to help users quickly return to important words they know they will need again
* Flash Card, Word of the Day and single player games to make the study fun

"Bengali Dictionary was designed for both students and travelers. You can use it as a phrase book for a short trip, or you can use it to learn a language for life. And, at only $3.99 in the App Store, it's cheaper than either a paperback phrase book or even the simplest study guide. A free version with in-app purchase options is also available." said Mr. Ahsan.

Bengali Dictionary's core translation function works offline, so travelers don't need to worry about being unable to communicate. But when the user's device is online, several extra features become available, such as an online scoring system which helps students earn Achievements for using app features, plus a vocabulary Leaderboard which rewards the most effective students.

English words link to their Wiktionary page to help users discover the history behind words, and built-in app connections let users send their translations to other apps on their device, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Email, and SMS.

All current iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches are supported. Devices with a Retina display will find Bengali Dictionary automatically optimizes itself for high-resolution text display so users don't need to squint.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 29.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Bengali Dictionary 8.2 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. A free version with in-app purchase options is also available.

Haypi Monster's Latest Update Delights - Published on 06/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Haypi Co., Ltd. today announces Haypi Monster 1.4, an update to its popular iOS-based MMORPG. This free-to-download iOS game has delighted millions of players from around the world with its bright graphics, family-friendly gameplay. In Haypi Monster Version 1.4, players will encounter two challenging new scenes: Holy Ruins and Barren Land. Seven new monster skills and four new mystery talents have also been added to the game. The PVP Arena has also seen a major improvement.

Shanghai, China - The popular iOS-based MMORPG, Haypi Monster, has delighted millions of players from around the world with its bright graphics, family-friendly gameplay, and multi-lingual availability. Now Haypi Monster fans have something new to celebrate: the release of Version 1.4!

In Haypi Monster Version 1.4, players will encounter two challenging new scenes: Holy Ruins and Barren Land. Each new scene contains 45 levels and the synthesis scroll of a powerful epic monster. The new monster from Holy Ruins, Pattapilla, is a cute little caterpillar with big green eyes. When it evolves into Pattaply, it can unleash powerful Razor Leaves at its enemies. The epic monster of Barren Land, Sneopard, is a blue baby leopard. When it evolves into Clawpard, it can produce deadly attacks with its Ice Beam to strike fear into the hearts of its opponents.

In order to reach these new scenes, the player and monster level caps have been raised by 10 levels. Players can now reach level 40 while their monsters can reach level 60. Players can also upgrade their monster skills to make them more powerful than ever.

In Version 1.4, players can also maneuver through the game a lot easier than they used to. A new feature now lets players lock their monsters, in order to prevent them from being accidentally sacrificed. Players can also view their monsters' genders on their monsters list to simplify the breeding process (previously, players had to tap on the specific monster to see its gender).

The PVP Arena has also seen a major improvement. A new rule was implemented, stating that two players can no longer battle each other more than fifteen times a day. This rule was announced to keep players from using multiple accounts to raise their PVP score.

Players can now get legendary monsters if they complete every Veteran and Expert mode level of the game. Players who pass every Veteran mode level can receive Crystal, an ice-type dragon, while players who complete every Expert level can receive the synthesis scroll of Setanic, a legendary earth-type monster.

Seven new monster skills and four new mystery talents have also been added to the game.

Prompts 1.0 for iOS - More than 1000 ways to beat writer's block - Published on 06/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Utah based independent developer, Tanner Christensen today introduces Prompts 1.0, his new writing app developed for iOS devices. Prompts is filled with more than 1,000 starting lines and creative prompts to help you beat writer's block. This is an app that will motivate writers by providing them with creative prompts on what to write next, even if they haven't put a word onto the page yet. Flip through starting lines at the touch of a button or by shaking your phone.

Salt Lake City, Utah - Introducing Prompts 1.0 for iOS, a unique writing app filled with more than 1,000 starting lines and creative prompts to help you beat writer's block. Beat writer's block with Prompts. A blank page can be daunting for anyone, Prompts makes getting words out effortless. From the creator of best selling Lifestyle creativity app "oflow," Tanner Christensen. Whether you suffer from professional writer's block, or just a lack of motivation, Prompts is what you've been looking for.

Feature Highlights:
* Prompts gets you writing, even when you feel stuck
* Access to more than 1,000 unique starting lines and creative prompts
* Change the font size to match your needs
* Share your writing by email, Twitter, or Facebook, or export to Evernote or Day One
* View writing stats like most active time of day and which day you write the most
* Use Prompts in either portrait or landscape view
* Bookmark the projects you're working on now
* Set daily writing reminders to keep yourself motivated
* Sync with Dropbox to automatically backup your latest writing to the cloud

Because so many writers use their iPhone or iPad to write, Christensen believed an app would be the perfect solution to beating writer's block. That idea spurred the creation of Prompts. This is an app that will motivate writers by providing them with creative prompts on what to write next, even if they haven't put a word onto the page yet.

When you open Prompts and press the + button, you'll see a unique starting line from a collection of hundreds. Use the presented starting line or write from scratch. Flip through starting lines at the touch of a button or by shaking your phone. From there, if you ever feel stuck while writing, just press the lightening bolt icon to be presented with one of hundreds of unique writing prompts.

Set daily reminders to keep your writing habits healthy, bookmark favorites or the projects you're working on, and even monitor your writing stats to see which days and times you're at your best.

Example creative prompts:
* How can you take a step back?
* Turn it into a wish
* Focus on only one detail
* Flip it around
* Zoom out 100x
* Who wasn't there?
* What doesn't happen next?

"Prompts is beautifully designed and elegantly simple, so you can focus on writing every day, easily."

Prompts works by giving you a starting point for either a new work of writing or for your next sentence. The purpose of prompts is to get you out of the psychological thinking loop that often causes writers to feel stuck. Because the brain works through connections, occasionally a train of thought will get stuck trying to find something new to connect to. The result? Often defeat, frustration, and stress. The more you try to come up with an idea about what to write, the harder it can become. Writing prompts cuts that circuit short by giving you a way out of the thinking loop and back to a new path of thinking.

Whether you want to write more just for fun or if you write for a profession, you are going to love how Prompts helps you write.

With the Prompts app users can see statistics about their writing habits, such as what hours of the day they write most (charted in a visual way), what day of they week they are most likely to write, and how many times they've used the app. All of which can be easily accessed from the Settings menu of the app.

Some prompts in the app are serious, others are fun or quirky. While most prompts are ideal for fantasy and fiction, they work just as well for any type of writing you can think of: from blogging and news articles, to school reports and journal entries.

"Even some of the most well-known writers, putting out book after book or article after article occasionally get stuck," commented Tanner Christensen. "Prompts is an easy way to beat the block and get back to writing."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Prompts 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Guaranteed to provide hours of fun, Witches vs. Monkeys has 30 exciting and challenging levels in this inaugural version.

Toronto, Canada - Leo & Jacob Mobile App Development has provided a brand new app for iPhone and iPad which integrates with Leaderboards and Achievements in Game Center. Guaranteed to provide hours of fun, Witches vs. Monkeys has 30 exciting and challenging levels in this inaugural version. They are divided into the four seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall), along with a fifth, The Season of the Witch.

As in Angry Birds, the object is total destruction, this time of Monkeys rather than pigs. Five different, color-coded classes of Witches occur within the game: Red, Black, Green, Blue, and Brown. Witches are launched onto the playing field, knocking down obstacles and five types of Flying Monkeys alike. The object is to clear the board of all the Monkeys and gain enough points to move on to the next level. Witches can knock structures over onto Monkeys, drop them into cauldrons of bubbly green goo, or land right on top of them, all in the adventure to eradicate those nasty flying Monkeys!

Specializing in Mobile App Development, the Leo & Jacob brand has a previous offering in the App Store called First Words for iPad. First Words helps children learn their first words and includes over 100 true-to-life pictures of various items, including animals of many types. The child is given three pictures to choose from, while the app says the name of the item to be tapped. The game provides encouragement by applause when the correct answer is chosen, as well as reinforcement through repetition of the word and picture it is associated with. It received many excellent reviews in the App Store and is currently featured in the "What's Hot" area of the U.S. App Store. It has been called a "must-have" for iPad users with young children.

With a proven winner under their belt, Leo & Jacob hopes to continue their initial success with a more casual puzzle game, employing beautiful graphics and fun mobile game play. Flying Witches provide exciting adventures in mobile entertainment, knocking Monkeys hither and yon in their mad quest to take them all out, one by one, level by level! These memorable characters produced by Leo & Jacob Mobile Apps Development are sure to provide hours of exciting gaming fun for all ages. With brain-teasing solutions, tough challenges, and adventure based play, Witches vs. Monkeys is certain to be a huge hit.

They decided to get married but the doors of the Ancient Temple turned out to be closed. In order to have a happily ever after, they needed to find the magic runes scattered all around the island. Nothing foreboded trouble, when the evil Sorcerer appeared out of nowhere, and stole the bride.

Players' mission is to save the Chief's beloved one and find the magic runes. Throughout 44 levels set across 4 colorful episodes players will travel, collect various resources and repair totems. The paths are filled with various obstacles and dangerous animals.
