Scany, a great networking toolkit for iPhone, is easy to use for both network pros, as well as for everyone else, and is loaded with a full pack of high quality professional tools - a network and port scanner, WHOIS, Geo IP, traceroute, ping, wake on LAN, and network info. An ultimate host and network data digging, reporting and surveying tool, Scany digs more data than others.

London, United Kingdom - Happymagenta puts Scany, their mighty network scanner and Swiss army knife diagnostic toolkit, on 85% sale trough the weekend, starting Friday, Jun 21st. Scany is now just $0.99 (normally $5.99). Bundled with a load of network surveying, data digging and diagnostic utilities, Scany is a perfect and easy to use, must have tool for everyone who has a home or office Wi-Fi or LAN, and for everyone who stays always connected, or just uses the Internet occasionally.

Whether there is a need to scan a local or a wide area network, to find all connected computers and devices on LAN or Wi-Fi, to dig all the available info about anything on the Internet, to test a firewall, web site, to trace a network path or to ping, to remotely wake a Mac or a PC, or just to quickly fetch and share network info, Scany comes in handy - it provides a wide range of possibilities, especially for power users, professional network engineers, system administrators, software developers, web masters and casual users alike to survey, investigate, maintain, test, protect and secure their home and office networks, servers, computers, firewalls, and to resolve network issues.

"The Scany was developed from the ground up using our own algorithms, a result of our over 25 years of experience in networking and software. Originally created for our set of high-load, heavy-duty server software, they gave us much flexibility on a mobile platform. One of the first networking apps specially crafted for iOS, it was developed and polished for years, and the result speaks for itself." - says Paully Ahafonau, the developer and co-founder of Happymagenta.

Every single tool, included in Scany, is a way better that any standard or ordinary tool available. Scany always finds and digs more data and info, does it in a more intelligent way, and is easier to use. There is no need to mess with complex tools options and setup, or command line shell interface - it just works, out of the box.

The network and port scanner digs more and faster, understands all of popular network naming protocols for Mac, PC and devices. WHOIS knows all Internet address spaces and all domain zones known to date, including internationalized domain names. Wake on LAN feature is equally effective on both LAN and the Internet.

SCSC Releases Phoenix for the Mac OS X Operating System - Published on 06/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virginia based Software and Computer System Company, LLC has released Phoenix for the Mac OS X operating system. Phoenix is an operating system tool that allows the user to create emergency boot volumes, clone volumes, and convert a data disk into a bootable drive with a new OS installation. Incredibly easy to use, Phoenix is offered as a standalone product and will now be included as a standard tool in the company's Scannerz product line.

Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC, (SCSC) has released Phoenix for the Mac OS X Operating System. Phoenix is an operating system tool that allows the user to create emergency boot volumes, copy entire volumes, overlay the operating system onto a data-only disk converting it to a bootable volume, and re-install the operating system onto a new drive if needed.

"Phoenix creates two types of copies called a Phoenix Boot Volume and a standard volume copy," stated Bill Wagner, the owner of the company. "The Phoenix Boot Volume is a unique type of copy because it extracts the core operating system from a users drive and installs only that on the target volume. What the end user ends up with appears to be a completely new OS installation that they can use to host testing and diagnostic software, perform other copies, perform maintenance and repair operations between different volumes, and in the case of emergencies, actually serve as installation media. The volume copy is really nothing more than a simple volume copy from one drive to another just like those available with other drive cloning tools. The product is incredibly easy to use."

"We came up with the tool primarily so users could use it to host our Scannerz line of system and hard drive testing tools, but it's versatile enough that it can be used for a host of different tasks. For example, if a user has a system with an optical drive and the optical drive has failed, they can actually use Phoenix to create their own dedicated version of install media and use it instead of needing to repair the optical drive. The product will be included in all versions of Scannerz with FSE or FSE-Lite, but it can be purchased as a standalone product as well."

SCSC has issued cautionary information about attempting to use the product for bootlegging operating systems on their web site. The tool will not only copy the core operating system, it will also copy system information, hardware information, registration information, and some keychain information that will make the copies made by Phoenix unique to the system.

Pricing and Availability:
SCSC has indicated that the price for the standalone version of Phoenix is $13.95 (USD). The tool is now a standard part of both the Scannerz with FSE and Scannerz with FSE-Lite packages.

Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC (SCSC) was formed in 2005. It is legally licensed to do business as a limited liability company in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia. Originally, SCSC focussed on producing its own line of cross platform software tools using Java. The applications consisted of performance enhancing application tools, engineering and scientific tools, and tools for the medical sciences. In 2008, SCSC changed its focus and became dedicated primarily to developing products for use on the Mac OS X and IOS operating systems. SCSC's product line up for Mac OS X currently consists of Scannerz with FSE, Scannerz with FSE-Lite, FSE, and SpotOff with Spot-O-Meter. Scannerz is a hard drive scanning tool, FSE is a file system events monitor, and FSE-Lite is a less capable version of FSE and is included in all base versions of Scannerz. SpotOff and Spot-O-Meter allow a user to control and monitor Spotlight activity. Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Software and

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mongadillo Studios Inc. announces that Survivor Z will be available Free starting June 21 until July 1st, when it returns to its regular price of $1.99 USD. The game debuted in the iTunes App Store in February. The initial release has been enthusiastically received by reviewers and players, as it draws players into a story where they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic version of the world around them. Survivor Z combines interactive fiction with a game engine for mobile devices.

Portland, Oregon - Mongadillo Studios Inc. announces that Survivor Z will be available Free starting June 21 until July 1st, when it returns to its regular price of $1.99 USD. The game debuted in the iTunes App Store in February. The initial release has been enthusiastically received by reviewers and players, as it draws players into a story where they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic version of the world around them. Survivor Z combines interactive fiction with a game engine for mobile devices.

The game begins when the virus outbreak reaches critical levels, and you are challenged to make your way home from work amid the chaos. In an illustrated text adventure similar to classic games like Zork and Adventureland. Once you survive the many dangers and obstacles along the way and make it safely into your bunker, you find that this is only the beginning. After running low on food and water, you emerge into a drastically changed world where familiar places are now desolate ruins.

At this point Survivor Z blows open, combining interactive fiction with a game engine for mobile devices to allow you to explore a blasted wasteland version of your everyday surroundings. While waiting in an airport, on your lunch break, or on a walk, you can scavenge the area for useful items like crowbars, shotguns or canned food. Danger lurks around every corner, with infected hordes, rival survivors, and bloodthirsty bandits eager to kill for a few bites of food or flesh. Certain locations will launch deep and complex adventures in which you have multiple choices at every step of the way about how to use your inventory, recruit allies, and explore the ruins, with more encounters being added regularly.

When asked how long the production cycle for new content will last, creator Ed Anderson replied, "This game will continue to grow as long as players continue to play." Survivor Z has just released its fifth update, version 2.1, with new features such as Player Versus Player expected by July.

MIDI SolFa 2.0 for iOS - Mathematical Music Theory Meets Practice - Published on 06/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Math and music researchers, Dr. Garbers and Dr. Noll, announce MIDI SolFa Mode-Go-Round 2.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The app addresses music education and training. It is a fun, single- and multi-player instrument, an interactive music theory medium, an aid for practicing musicians and a solmization machine. Version 2 features instrument sounds, two solmization voices, fine-grained MIDI tools and an interactive canon generator based on note-by-note imitations.

Torgau, Germany - Math and music researchers, Dr. Garbers and Dr. Noll, today announce the release of MIDI SolFa Mode-Go-Round 2.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Started in 2010 as an awarded interactive music-theoretical exhibit in Math-Advanture-Land Dresden, Germany, the MIDI SolFa Mode-Go-Round app aims to be both an entertaining musical instrument, a medium to illustrate music theoretical topics and a tool for practicing musicians.

Customer review: "This on the one hand is a very simple app, but on the other it is complex. It is clever and unique."

The app has a spiral keyboard with 7 keys per octave. Its design and its transformations are based on recent mathematical music theory insights into diatonic scales. The keyboard relates scale degrees, note names, step patterns and solmization and is useful for teaching and exploring music theory. Users can play diatonic melodies and must explicitly change tonic and mode. Thereby, they get a feeling for the seven modes and learn modulation. On touching the keys, the instrument plays instrument sounds or "sings" solmization syllables according to movable or fixed Doh tradition.

The new version offers a more precisely articulated solmization voice, support for arbitrary instrument sounds and many useful tools for practicing musicians. The app shows MIDI notes on the keyboard and offers simple multitrack MIDI recording and playback. Users can play back a MIDI file and highlight parts to understand and practice a voice in a polyphonic piece: For each MIDI channel, they can change the instrument sound, mix it freely with the solmization sound and toggle note display. There is a growing number of online-tutorials containing musical excerpts as downloadable MIDI-files, that allow to study modulations, voice leading patterns and other music theoretical topics.

An entertaining new feature is the canon generator: Users can interactively learn to improvise canon-melodies - a traditional element in Renaissance musicianship. The user specifies temporal and diatonic offsets of the imitating voices and plays the lead melody. The app plays the imitations note-by-note and shows implied notes and admissible continuations of the lead melody. Beginners and advanced users have plenty of options to practice imitation and counterpoint.

Vitamins & Nutrients: The exact contents of foods revealed - Published on 06/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Which fruit contains the most vitamin C? Which vegetable is packed with iron? Baliza GmbH today announces Vitamins & Nutrients 1.1, its new universal app for iPhone and iPad. Featuring a comprehensive filter function, Vitamins & Nutrients knows the nutritional value, vitamin, mineral and trace elements of the most important foods, and provides you with that information at the touch of a button. The entire body of nutritional information is displayed in a clear and adaptable table.

Nuremberg, Germany - More and more people are taking vitamin pills these days. The reason for this is because they fear they have too low an intake of nutrients. A balanced, varied diet has everything that a human body requires, and so it's worth taking a closer look at a person's diet. Vitamins & Nutrients, the new universal app for iPhone and iPad, allows you to do just that.

The app has information on the 700 most important and basic foods that fall into the categories of, for example, 'fruit', 'vegetable', 'fish', 'meat and sausages' or 'dairy products:'

* New app: Vitamins & Nutrients
* Universal app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Nutritional information database for food
* Search criteria for specific analyses
* Additional information for vegetarians
* Links to wikipedia articles
* Shopping list and function for adding comments
* Language support: English, German and Dutch
* Requires iOS 5 or newer
* Price: $1.99

For each foodstuff, the app offers you detailed nutritional information, given in 100 grammes, 3 ounces or per serving. You only need a quick glance to discover the energy value or protein content of an item, or find out its vitamin, mineral and trace element contents. The entire body of nutritional information is displayed in a clear and adaptable table.

Vitamins & Nutrients has information on the following topics:
* General nutritional information: Energy value, protein, carbohydrates, roughage, total sugar content, fats, saturated fats, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol
* Minerals and trace elements: calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium
* Vitamins: vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K

Vitamins & Nutrients - Sorting based on nutritional content, locating by means of criteria:
The Vitamins & Nutrients app doesn't simply list the information. It also makes it easy to use the data to some handy additional functions. It's easily possible to sort foods according to certain nutritional characteristics. In this way you can quickly find and identify foods with the highest calcium content, or fruits with the highest vitamin-C level.

Alternatively you can use the 'locating by means of criteria' function. This allows you to create your own criteria, according to which the relevant foodstuffs will appear in a listed format. So for example, you could search for foods rich in calcium and magnesium but low in cholesterol.

The search criteria can be combined with one another, as well as be used with a certain group of food or indeed all foodstuffs. Meat, fish, eggs and milk can all be excluded according to personal preference.

Tanja Credner, chief executive of Baliza GmbH, says of the app: "It was important for us that every user can acquire the information that is especially important to him or her both quickly and easily. We didn't want to develop an app where someone would lose interest amid thousands of data entries and results."

It's also easy to add a comment on any food product and to rate them according to your personal tastes. If you happen to be on holiday, you can look up the foods name in German, Spanish, French or Dutch. And for anyone who requires further information on specific foods, Vitamins & Nutrients provides links to corresponding Wikipedia articles.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 19.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Vitamins & Nutrients 1.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category.

Tamil Dictionary 8.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Published on 06/21/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iThinkdiff has announced Tamil Dictionary 8.2 an update to their popular bilingual dictionary app for iOS devices. With Tamil Dictionary, users can search both Tamil and English words. This dictionary features a large database for English and Tamil words. Version 8.2 adds an extended translation dictionary (now with 51,840 Tamil words), Tamil keyboard for Tamil text entry, and Word Fight Multiplayer game to make language study fun.

Melaka, Malaysia - iThinkdiff releases version 8.2 of its Tamil Dictionary app with three new features: an extended translation dictionary (now with 51,840 Tamil words), Tamil keyboard for Tamil 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 Tamil now contains an extended dictionary. Lead programmer Mahmud Ahsan said, "Now that the dictionary is complete with over 51,000 Tamil words, both students and travelers can use Tamil Dictionary to translate nearly anything from Tamil into English or vice versa. Over 80 million people speak Tamil, and it is my hope that this dictionary will make communication between Tamil speakers and English speakers easier than ever before."

The new keyboard toggle in Tamil Dictionary version 8.2 makes it trivially easy to look up written Tamil words and find their English translations. "Wikipedia lists Tamil 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 Tamil Dictionary 8.2. The game lets both Tamil-speaking students learning English and English-speaking students learning Tamil 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:
* Over 61,000 English words in an offline dictionary
* A phrase translator which can translate phrases and sentences from English to Tamil and from Tamil 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

"Tamil 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.

Tamil 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 Tamil 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
* 26.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tamil 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.
