TrailMix App Blazes a New Path, Now Free With Rewards - Published on 06/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Resonant Technologies today released TrailMix, the world's first fully automatic step-synced music player, as a free download on iTunes for all compatible iOS devices. TrailMix works almost magically to detect the listener's pace while walking or running, and instantly adjusts the music tempo to stay in sync. The result is a music app that "runs" along with the listener, speeding up or slowing down songs, while maintaining superb audio fidelity without producing the "chipmunk"; effect.

Chicago, Illinois - Resonant Technologies today released TrailMix, the world's first fully automatic step-synced music player, as a free download on iTunes for all compatible iOS devices. TrailMix works almost magically to detect the listener's pace while walking or running, and instantly adjusts the music tempo to stay in sync. The result is a music app that "runs" along with the listener, speeding up or slowing down songs, while maintaining superb audio fidelity without producing the "chipmunk"; effect.

"TrailMix is pure magic," says the app's lead developer James Potter. "I've watched dozens of people experience the app for the first time. Once your feet hit the ground, it just blows your mind."

TrailMix works with all the music on a user's device, in any musical genre, not just traditional workout songs. Unlike similar apps that rely on the user to know the number of beats-per-minute (BPM) of a song, or require a network connection to download song information from a limited database, TrailMix built an advanced recognition engine that "listens" to the music in real time to sync the perfect tempo.

"The way the music responds to your movement was perfected endlessly until it felt just right," explains Potter. Because the app does not rely on an internet connection, it works equally well on the iPhone or iPod touch, making it ideal for exercise fanatics and music enthusiasts on the move.

Rather than a workout gadget, however, TrailMix is a music player at heart. No setup is required. Anyone familiar with the iPhone's built-in music player will feel right at home. Users tap once to play any song from their personal music library - and then get moving.

"You don't have to even think about picking songs to fit your pace because suddenly all of your music matches you. It runs with you." Potter notes that users of the free app can also create playlists to focus on specific tracks based on their mood or workout routine. "You can actually feel the beat every time you take a step."

The free app will play and sync with any song in a user's library, as well as playlists containing up to 20 songs, whether the listener is running, walking, sprinting, or strolling. TrailMix incorporates a pedometer, and health- and fitness-related rewards from Kiip, an online service that motivates users to exercise by giving away free items and coupons. A Pro version of TrailMix, available separately for $4.99, removes banner ads and includes enhanced features like Magic Shuffle, which chooses songs automatically to match your current tempo, and Cruise Control to lock in a song at a preset beat. The Pro app also provides enhanced stats and an intelligent stopwatch that starts and stops as the user moves to keep track of workout sessions automatically.

Although the Pro version has already garnered over 100,000 users in a short time, the TrailMix team says it feels the free app released today will encourage many more people to move to their own beat. The app received some unlikely recognition when comedian Bert Kreischer called it "the best f***ing app in the world" for helping him lose weight. Potter's reaction to the app's incredible appeal is more modest.

"Everyone walks, and everyone loves music, so basically our app is for everyone," he says.

Technologically, the TrailMix app incorporates a marvel of artificial intelligence behind its simple and engaging GUI. Three years of research went into the development of a custom algorithm that detects a song's beats-per-minute in the same way humans do, so that results match how a listener perceives the rhythm. All this is done in real time while also detecting the user's rhythm of motion.

"I initially thought the idea for TrailMix was completely crazy. But the sheer coolness of having my music run with me led us to devote three years of our lives to making it happen," says Potter. "It can take your workout to the next level, and for some, it can even change your life."

Adds Potter, "And it works great for just walking to the store, too."

Spending Log App Finally Arrives On iPad - Published on 06/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Corbenic Consulting Ltd today announces Spending Log for iPad 1.0, the iPad version of their popular Spending Log app for iPhone. The App allows for data transfer between the iPhone & iPad versions via the cloud and analyses spending patterns. Spending Log for iPhone reached the top 5 of all apps in the UK last September and has featured in the top of the UK Finance Chart for over 2 years. It has been featured in the UK Telegraph 'Must-Have' apps list and the UK Sunday Times App List.

Bristol, United Kingdom - The Go To App for keeping track of personal finances finally arrives on the iPad this week with the release of a brand new iPad version of the ever popular Spending Log App. The iPhone version of Spending Log reached the top 5 of all apps in the UK last September and has been a feature of the top of the UK Finance Chart for over 2 years.

Powerful analysis of Spending:
Like its iPhone counterpart the new iPad Spending Log App provides powerful ways to analyse spending patterns. The App takes advantage of the extra screen space provided by the iPad to provide a clearer analysis than was possible on the iPhone. A consumer can log their purchases or bill payments into categories, allowing them to see, for example, how much they spend on fuel per month, or how much all those little trips to the coffee shop are costing a week ; All beautifully rendered in easy to understand charts.

Transfer Data Between iPhone and iPad:
Users can keep the state of their finances up to date at all times whilst out and about by using the iPhone Spending Log App on their iPhone. Spending data can then be sent up to the cloud from where it can be retrieved by the iPad Spending Log App where further analysis of spending can be made.

Specifically for iPad:
Unlike apps that run on both iPhone and iPad with a layout that isn't quite right for either, Spending Log for iPad is exactly that, specifically created with the iPad in mind. This means that unlike the other poorer finance apps the layout on the iPad is not the same as on the iPhone, meaning users needn't laboriously page through multiple screens as though they were just using a stretched out iPhone App; The layout is concise, using the iPad as it was meant to be used.

The Journalists Recommendation:
Spending Log has been featured in both the UK Telegraph 'Must-Have' apps list 2 years in a row and the UK Sunday Times App List also 2 years in a row. Sunday Times reviewer Holden Frith says, "Whether you are stretching your salary to the end of the month or saving towards a particular goal, this app will help you keep track of your progress." The App sold so well in 2012 it featured in Apples 'App Store Best of 2012' in the UK.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 56.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Spending Log for iPad 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category.

Also, using an icon in the top left you can call a slide-out where you can selectively choose which services you would like to see, allowing you to fully customize the timeline.

Socialblend is also rapidly adding new services. "We are already working on additional filtering features and on the services side we will quickly be adding Flickr, Vimeo, and more" says Jay Mantri, Fling Soft's Head of Business. "Our goal is to allow users to interact with as much of their social world as possible from a single location, we have almost 20 different services in our roadmap".

More than just being a simple seamless user experience, Socialblend is really a unified social media platform built on multiple levels of API integration with all the various services in market. "We feel we have developed a foundation for unifying users' social media and we can only grow it from here", says Jeremy Krall, Fling Soft's Head of Technology. "This first iteration has many of the everyday features user's expect such as Liking and Commenting, but we are already beginning to create layers that will allow even greater unification and powerful interactive filters for various services."

AssistiveWare Infovox iVox 3.2 - German and Australian Children Voices - Published on 06/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Music Lovers Can Now Share Views and Tunes With Friends World Wide - Published on 06/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A new app allows users to share tunes with friends world wide. Your Tunes World 1.2 does what many have attempted and failed to do; it brings people together through their shared taste in music. Using this highly interactive social music app, friends can store and play music for personal pleasure, or share it with friends nearby or around the world. Your Tunes World searches for friends among all users, connects music lovers, and makes it easy to share comments about music.

Perth, Australia - It is so easy and fun to share music with friends nearby or around the world, and exchange comments about your favorite songs, with the Your Tunes World 1.2 app, available now at the Apple App Store.

Joel Roberts is an Australian musician who loves to spend evenings jamming with friends, talking about what's hot in music, and sharing his latest finds in jazz and rock. To make that experience easier for himself and millions of others, Roberts developed the Your Tunes World app now available for download at iTunes.

Using this highly interactive social music app, friends can store and play music for personal pleasure, or share it with friends nearby or around the world. Your Tunes World searches for friends among all users, connects music lovers, and makes it easy to share comments about music. New Friends requests and New Comments notifications are automatically given. The app also makes it easy for users to share their favorite songs on Facebook and Twitter.

"The best thing about this app is that not only can you listen to the music you like," says Roberts, "but at anytime you can hit the 'match' button and be connected to someone who is listening to the same song at that very moment. How awesome is that?"

When sharing comments with friends about music, the user can purchase music the friend is listening to and thanks to the GPS feature you can also determine their general location.

Roberts comes from a long line of musicians in Australia. His father Eddie is a famous guitarist in Perth and his mother and stepmother are renowned vocalists. An actor and a model, Roberts studied jazz at the Perth Conservatorium of Music. Your Tunes World does what many have attempted and failed to do - it brings people together through their shared taste in music.

The app is being promoted by Scott Lorenz of Westwind iPhone App Publicity.

Pen & Ink Jumps to #1 Productivity App in China - Published on 06/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stepping Stone Mobile is proud to announce that Pen & Ink 2.4.1 is now the #1 Productivity App in China for the iPad, having been featured by Apple in the New and Noteworthy section of the App Store. Pen & Ink is the simplest way to create beautiful watercolor paintings and drawings on the iPad. Its Asian brush style painting is particularly popular in China, where artists can create new pieces replicating the look of ancient ink wash paintings.

San Francisco, California - Stepping Stone Mobile is proud to announce that Pen & Ink 2.4.1 is now the #1 Productivity App in China for the iPad(R), having been featured by Apple in the New and Noteworthy section of the App Store. Pen & Ink is the simplest way to create beautiful watercolor paintings and drawings on the iPad.

Apple chose to feature Pen & Ink in China, its second largest market after the United States. Pen & Ink is a unique art app because of its ease of use and professional quality. Its Asian brush style painting is particularly popular in China, where artists can create new pieces replicating the look of ancient ink wash paintings. The brushes change size and pigment load in concert with the user's motion, to produce the fluid, dynamic strokes necessary for this simple but powerful style. For example, a plant with bold stalks that taper off into delicate wisps are painted in one deft stroke. For more information about Asian style ink wash painting, please see the online video tutorial.

After being featured in the App Store, Pen & Ink rocketed to the top of the charts in China and remains the #1 freely downloaded iPad(R) Productivity App. It is also one of the top-grossing apps in China due to optional in-app purchases. Pen & Ink remains #1 in Productivity in 10 other countries including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Hong Kong.

Pen & Ink, which is receiving 5-star reviews, includes all of the art essentials - numerous paintbrushes, pens, pencils, watercolor palettes and zoom. For people who want to take their art to the next level, the full version offers powerful artistic features such as smudge tools, layers, custom color palettes and 25 unique, realistic brushes. The full version of Pen & Ink is easy to use for both professional artists and novices, and can be purchased within the app for $2.99 USD.

The art can easily be downloaded onto various size canvases from CanvasOnDemand online and framed on a desk or hung on a wall.

"In many cases, the art is so beautiful that it's difficult to discern whether it was created with real paint or an iPad," says Jennifer Emerson, a Board Member of the San Francisco Art Institute.

Language Support:
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish

Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
* 40.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pen & Ink 2.4.1 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. The full version can be purchased within the app for $2.99 USD.
