Wake Me Up 1.0 for iOS - Eyelid Detector and Microsleep Warning Alarm - Published on 06/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power App today introduces Wake Me Up 1.0 for iOS, its new app that continuously scans the user's face and sounds an alarm if their eyelids close for 3 seconds or longer. Incorporating the latest technology in face localization and facial feature extraction, the app signals green when the rear camera of the iDevice is properly aligned, and green again when it detects the open eyes. Ideal for preventing accidents to due microsleeps, Wake Me Up includes a detection sensitivity control.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Power App today is pleased to introduce Wake Me Up 1.0 for iOS, its new app that continuously scans the user's face and sounds an alarm if their eyelids close for 3 seconds or longer. Incorporating the latest technology in face localization and facial feature extraction, an indicator light turns from red to green when the rear camera of the iDevice is properly aligned, and another indicator turns green when the open eyes are detected. Ideal for preventing accidents due to microsleeps, Wake Me Up includes a detection sensitivity control and a special setting for low light situations.

Feature Highlights:
* Constant scanning of the face and detection of closed eye lids
* Alarm tone when eyelids are closed
* Adjustable sensitivity
* Straightforward setup
* 22 different alarm tones or vibrate

According to Wikipedia, "A microsleep is an episode of sleep which may last for a fraction of a second or up to thirty seconds. Often, it is the result of sleep deprivation, mental fatigue, depression, sleep apnea, hypoxia, narcolepsy, or idiopathic hypersomnia. For the sleep-deprived, microsleeping can occur at any time, typically without substantial warning. Microsleeps (or microsleep episodes) become extremely dangerous when they occur in situations which demand constant alertness, such as driving a motor vehicle or working with heavy machinery. People who experience microsleeps usually remain unaware of them, instead believing themselves to have been awake the whole time, or to have temporarily lost focus."

The Wake Me Up control panel displays a red/green LED when face detection is complete, a red/green LED when open eyes detection is complete, a low light switch, and a video monitor window that displays the user's face. The app's advanced technology works for all people, regardless of age, skin tone, eye color, or eye shape. The app first distinguishes the face from everything else in the foreground and background of the video frame. Second, the app performs eye localization, locating the outlines and contours of the pair of eyes on the face. Third, Wake Me Up observes normal eye blinking and extrapolates a model of those conditions necessary for the app to warn, "eyes are closed."

"Microsleeps can be very dangerous in certain situations, like driving vehicles or operating machinery, and it is generally a sign that the body is lacking sleep," commented Christian Schaffner of Power App. "Sometimes - especially when under the pressure of deadlines or when in a hurry - individuals ignore the signals and continue the task, often relying on coffee and energy drinks. Ignoring the body's desire for sleep is unhealthy, as concentration continues to decline. At a certain point, the body takes what it needs, and it falls asleep for just a couple of seconds, or up to a minute or two. While this may not be dangerous under normal circumstances, it becomes very dangerous while driving a vehicle or operating machinery. Even when the dangers are not life threatening, it can create unnecessary emergencies - who doesn't remember the instances where a decimal point has been entered incorrectly, causing stocks to fall or transferring huge sums to the wrong recipient. Wake Me Up
for iOS is the solution."

Language Support:
* English and German

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

Your iPhone Or iPad Can Be So Much More Than You Imagined Says Web Site - Published on 06/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Canadian Reviewer thinks James Hollender's Life Inventory apps can increase the usefulness of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. These apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing and built-in instructions are a great help. They guide users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better quality of life, allowing the user to learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible.

Revere, Massachusetts - The Canadian Reviewer thinks James Hollender's Life Inventory apps can increase the usefulness of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. These apps may be complex, but once understood are amazing and built-in instructions are a great help. They guide users in creating their own Life Inventory, another term for Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better quality of life. These apps allow any user, even someone not in a 12-Step program, to learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. The Canadian Reviewer has suggested Life Inventory may even become your always available digital therapist:

"If your smartphone has become your personal trainer, assistant, and even financial advisor, why not turn it into your therapist as well? Life Inventory app for iOS is here to help you understand what makes you tick. This app helps you create your own Life Inventory or Moral Inventory to provide you with better understanding of your personality, strengths, and weaknesses to help you live a better life."

The recent update to version 3.0 provides additional security to the Life Inventory for iPad app which doesn't allow any access to the app at startup until proper authentication has been supplied, but only if the user has password protection implemented. This was a feature requested by a user who sometimes wants to loan out his iOS device, but doesn't want the other user to see anything, even the instructions. A similar upgrade was also done for the iPhone and iPod touch version 2.7.

The Life Inventory for iPad app was rated as the 3rd Top iOS App for 2012:

"Life Inventory for iPad: This iPad top iOs apps 2012 has the potential to let users create their very own Life Stock, which may present higher self-understanding of their character, strengths, and weaknesses. Life Stock is geared towards folks working by manner of a 12 step AA program and has quite quite a bit of spiritual connotations as faith and fellowship is the cornerstone of these kinds of programs. It assists customers in probing into not solely what happened, but in addition why it happened. Life Stock is certainly equivalent to moral inventory. Because the idea behind the app is advanced, new users might wrestle a bit with it. Life Stock is suitable with iPad and requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app costs USD 9.99. There may be additionally an iPhone version available."

Both the iPad and iPhone/iPod touch versions accomplish exactly the same thing, only the interface is considerably different for each because of the significant differences in screen size.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?

* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

Impregnable Military Message Encryption with ProtectStar iCrypter - Published on 06/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ProtectStar today releases a new update v1.0.1 of iCrypter for Apple iOS. A new app that provides strong 256-bit encryption for incoming and outgoing messages sent via SMS, e-Mail, iMessage, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp or Skype. Unlike other encryption apps, there is no pay-per-message charge. The iCrypter Contact Book is itself encrypted, and it stores the different passwords shared by the sender and his or her contacts, which allow them to open each other's messages using the iCrypter app.

Miami, Florida - ProtectStar today releases a new update v1.0.1 of iCrypter for Apple iOS. A new app that provides strong 256-bit encryption for incoming and outgoing messages sent via SMS, e-Mail, iMessage, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp or Skype. Unlike other encryption apps, there is no pay-per-message charge. The iCrypter Contact Book is itself encrypted, and it stores the different passwords shared by the sender and his or her contacts, which allow them to open each other's messages using the iCrypter app on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

The encryption process is carried out right on the user's device, and the symmetrical cryptography method, where sender and receiver share a common key, guarantees that messages can be read solely by their intended recipients.

Feature Highlights:
* Powerful 256-bit encryption for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Ensure the privacy and security of sensitive information sent in a message
* Ideal for messages sent via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Skype or iMessage
* Built-in iCrypter Contact Book keeps shared passwords encrypted
* Symmetrical cryptography guarantees that your messages can be read solely by their intended recipients
* Supports the encryption of photo, video and document attachments
* Integrated state-of-the-art ,Fail Safe Protection' security module securely deletes all data in the app if accessed by an unauthorized person
* Allows impregnably secure social-media interaction with friends or groups that have your secret password

It is well known that emails and text messages are much like postcards, as they can potentially be read by any Internet user. Passing through numerous server node points on the way to their destination, such communications are totally open, non-secured, and modifiable. ProtectStar, the experts in mobile security solutions, with more than 300,000 customers worldwide, developed iCrypter to enable users to easily send and receive emails and text messages that are 256-bit AES protected. The Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm is one of the most impregnable available today and is used to encrypt top-secret government, industrial, and military documents.

To further enhance the usability of this convenient encryption app, iCrypter contains an optional fail-safe feature. Should the iDevice be lost or stolen, all data, including encrypted messages and passwords, is erased if an incorrect password is used five times in an attempt to run the app (iCrypter's password is not an alphanumeric string, but a series of drags across an unlabeled, 4x4 keypad). Completely unrecoverable in accordance with military security standards, such as the U.S. Department of Defense's DoD 5220.22-M E method, the erase function employs ProtectStar's own, prize-winning, iShredder technology.

iCrypter is recommended for confidential correspondence between and within:
* Anyone who sends messages containing sensitive information
* Domestic or foreign company divisions or sites
* Attorneys, tax consultants, and clients
* Investment bankers
* Stockbrokers and institutional investors
* Mergers & Acquisitions managers
* Large companies

In addition to emails and other messages, iCrypter enables users to encrypt attached photos, videos, or other document files. Security conscious users can now send a message and an attached spreadsheet and have both encrypted automatically.

"The security experts at ProtectStar guarantee that iCrypter contains no hidden back door or master key," stated Chris Bohn CEO of ProtectStar Inc. "In the interests of complete transparency, the symmetrical encryption algorithm used in iCrypter is freely available to users for their own proprietary validation and analysis purposes."

Language Support:
* English, German, and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for displays on all iOS devices
* 45 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ProtectStar iCrypter 1.0.1 is available in the Utility category of the iTunes AppStore. The app is regularly priced at $3.99 (USD), but available at the special launch price of $1.99 for a few days. Review copies are available on request.

ProtectStar was among the first companies to check mobile devices for security risks, a pioneering effort leading to significant security improvements in mobile and smart phones.

The company's iShredder for iOS, released in 2011, is the leading iOS data erasure app that protects against third parties restoring deleted files. ProtectStar has more than 300,000 customers in more than 30 countries, from industrial, business, institutional, government, and military sectors, as well as individual users.

AudioTrick 1.1 for iOS - Post Voice, Music, Ambient Sounds to Facebook - Published on 06/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kandalu Software today introduces AudioTrick 1.1 for iOS, its new app that lets users post a voice message, music, ambient sounds, or any other audio directly onto Facebook. Users can post audio to their own Facebook wall or timeline, to a friend's timeline, to a group, or to a page they manage. While Facebook allows users to upload and post videos, audio files cannot be posted. AudioTrick converts recorded audio into a Facebook compatible file and posts it along with a selected wallpaper.

London, United Kingdom - Kandalu Software today is pleased to introduce AudioTrick 1.1 for iOS, its new social networking app that lets users post a voice message, music, ambient sounds or any other recorded audio directly onto Facebook. Users can post audio to their own Facebook wall or timeline, to a friend's timeline, to a group, or to a page they manage. While Facebook does allow users to upload and post videos, audio files cannot be posted. AudioTrick converts recorded audio into a Facebook compatible file and posts it with a selected wallpaper to the desired page. AudioTrick is the Facebook audio uploader that lets users post self-contained, easy-to-play audio files.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple, clever voice recorder
* Processes the voice recording into a Facebook compatible media file
* Requires no hosting services, web-services, cloud storage or other add-on applications
* The best way to post your voice on Facebook
* Post a built-in photo, title, and description with your audio

The remarkable magic that AudioTrick performs is recording and posting an audio-only file onto Facebook. Users simply launch the app, log on to Facebook, and touch the Record Audio button. A large mic fills the screen, plus a seconds timer, and start and stop buttons. After the recording is finished, the app prompts users to choose a wallpaper from its built-in theme library. This still photo will represent the audio file graphically on the Facebook page.

After selecting a theme, the app processes the recording for Facebook, which takes a few seconds. Following processing, users can playback the file or post it to Facebook. When posting, they can enter a Title and Description, which will appear in text above the photo. Users also choose the destination: their own timeline, a friend's timeline, their own page, or to a group. Immediately, the processed file and meta-data start uploading to the specified Facebook page. The app keeps all recordings in a built-in audio library, and recordings can be reused on multiple pages.

"Now, using AudioTrick, you can post memorable recordings of voice mails, birthday greetings, interviews, lectures, ambient sound, podcasts, and voice notes onto your Facebook wall with a simple click," stated Paolo Ceroni of Kandalu Software. "Make your voice heard on Facebook!"

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

Pricing and Availability:
AudioTrick 1.1 is free during its introductory period (regularly $1.99 USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.
