Favalert 1.4 - Notification/Tracking of Facebook Friends, Free for iOS - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AlertStocks today announces Favalert 1.4, free for iOS, an update to its app that provides users with an alert when someone logs on to Facebook, and can check how long a friend has been logged on to Facebook. Alerts are ideal for greeting a special someone or breaking the ice, and Facebook usage histories are invaluable for monitoring employees or children. With Favalert, users can invisibly follow selected friends as they log on and log off Facebook, and users can start chatting anytime.

Singapore, Singapore - AlertStocks today is pleased to announce Favalert 1.4, free for iOS, an update to its app that provides users with a push notification alert when someone logs on to Facebook, and can check how long any individual has been logged on to Facebook. Alerts are ideal for greeting a special someone or breaking the ice, and Facebook usage histories are invaluable for monitoring the amount of time spent on Facebook by employees or children. With Favalert, users can invisibly follow selected friends as they log on and log off Facebook, and users can start chatting anytime.

Feature Highlights:
* Get alerts when someone logs on to Facebook
* Check when and how long someone is on Facebook
* Your friends do not have to install this app or do anything other than use Facebook
* You stay invisible on Facebook chat
* Check your favorites' online history
* Conversation starters!
* Select friends and be notified when they come online
* Easily search and select friends
* Directly open your Favorite's profile and start chatting

Specialists in real-time alert information, AlertStocks' previous apps have provided alerts for stock prices and Amazon price drops. Now, without being on Facebook themselves, users can receive alerts every ten minutes, informing them of those on their Favorites list who just log onto Facebook. The Favorites page of the app includes a scrolling list of friends with thumbnails, and beneath each name is the status, either Offline or Active.

In addition to alerts when a favorited person logs in, Favalert keeps a record of the time each favorite logged on and how long he or she spent on Facebook before logging off. Touching the favorite's listing in the app opens a full page for that person, which displays blocks of time in blue on a day-timer appointment page. Instantly, users can check if an employee or child has been on Facebook too long or at any inappropriate time of day.

"Employees visiting Facebook while at work has become a major problem," commented Ariyo Zhou of AlertStocks. "A recent article in Computerworld stated, 'Companies that allow users to access Facebook in the workplace lose an average of 1.5% in total employee productivity, according to a new report from Nucleus Research, an IT research company. The survey of 237 employees also showed that 77% of workers who have a Facebook account use it during work hours.'"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 4.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Favalert 1.4 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category. Unlimited Favorites and one minute alert updates every minute are available as in-app purchases.

Witches vs. Monkeys iOS Free: Slingshot Witches to Kill Winged Monkeys - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leo & Jacob today introduces Witches vs. Monkeys 1.0, free for iOS, where players use a giant slingshot to fire broom-riding witches at winged monkeys. A finely crafted melange of Angry Birds and The Wizard of Oz, players will find this 30-level game unusually challenging and complex. Witches come in five different colors, with varying powers, but weigh the same. Winged monkeys of various sizes sit in, on, or under stacked structures, die from direct or indirect hits, but can have several lives.

Toronto, Canada - Leo & Jacob today is pleased to introduce Witches vs. Monkeys 1.0, free for iOS, its new game where players use a giant slingshot to catapult broom-riding witches at winged monkeys. A finely crafted melange of Angry Birds and The Wizard of Oz, players will find this 30-level game unusually challenging and complex. Witches come in five different colors, with varying powers, but weigh the same. Winged monkeys of various sizes sit in, on, or under collapsible stacked structures, die from direct or indirect hits, but can have several lives.

Feature Highlights:
* Hear the witch's cackle as she flies on her broomstick
* Each witch has different magical powers
* All 30 levels include a new setting with parallax scrolling
* Some monkeys must be hit more than once
* Game Center Leaderboards, Achievements, and Challenges

Perhaps the game played more hours on smart mobile devices than any other, Angry Birds has spawned its own sub-genre of slingshot-based games. Witches vs. Monkeys takes the best from the classic series and makes improvements to various aspects of gameplay. The setup of the two games is the same - players fire living projectiles from left to right across the screen. Gamers can control both the direction and force of their shot when pulling back on the elastic slingshot. And players can choose between direct (flat trajectory) or indirect (ballistic trajectory) fire.

Witches vs. Monkeys incorporates a more powerful slingshot, requiring greater skill to prevent undershooting or overshooting. Witches/projectiles are all the same mass, making it easier to approximate their flight. However, it is impossible to view the targets when firing in WvM. Players can drag from right to left to view the monkeys, structures, and obstacles, but they must scroll fully back to shoot. This means that gamers must maintain a mental picture of the target area while firing, more difficult than firing at a target that is visible.

While all the same weight, witches have different levels of magical powers and can cause varying degrees of damage, often accompanied by eye-catching s/fx. In order of power, the five witches are: Black, Red, Brown, Blue, and Green. There are five sizes of animated monkeys, and following a non-lethal hit each may wear one, two, or three bandages before exploding. All monkeys must be cleared to advance to the next level.

Witches vs. Monkeys includes a variety of interactive objects placed near the monkeys, including: a witch's cauldron, crystal balls, treasure chests, gold bars, candle holders, rubies, diamonds, precious stones, and more. These can help a player achieve a higher score while leveling up.

"The monkeys are hiding in different stacked objects made of different materials, such as wood, glass, stone, and pillars," commented Eyal Katz of Leo & Jacob. "Each level is more complicated and requires a different strategy to get enough points to move to the next level."

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
* 61.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Witches vs. Monkeys 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Unlocking the last 25 levels requires an in-app purchase of $0.99 (USD). Review copies are available on request.

Remo ZIP 1.0 Free for OS X: 10 Levels of Fast, Lossless File Compression - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Remo Software today introduces Remo ZIP Free Edition for Mac 1.0, its new compression utility that offers 10 levels of lossless file compression, from SuperFast to Best. Offering fast, multicore-enabled processing, the app provides compression/decompression of standard .zip files and Remo's .rzip files. The free app is superior to Apple's Archive Utility in speed and flexibility, and a paid version allows users to create .zip files larger than 4 GB, and add password protection and encryption.

Mountain View, California - Remo Software today is pleased to introduce Remo ZIP Free Edition for Mac 1.0, its advanced compression utility that offers 10 levels of lossless file compression, from SuperFast to Best. Offering fast, multicore-enabled processing, the app provides compression/decompression of standard .zip files and Remo's .rzip files. The free app is superior to Apple's Archive Utility in speed and flexibility, and a paid version of the app, Remo ZIP Pro Edition, allows users to create .zip files larger than 4 GB, and add password protection and encryption.

The de facto standard in file compression, .zip is an archive file format that offers lossless data compression. Extremely versatile, the format has evolved considerably since its introduction in 1989. According to Wikipedia, ".ZIP files are archives that store multiple files. .ZIP allows contained files to be compressed using many different methods, as well as simply storing a file without compressing it. Each file is stored separately, allowing different files in the same archive to be compressed using different methods. Because the files in a .ZIP archive are compressed individually it is possible to extract them, or add new ones, without applying compression or decompression to the entire archive."

Feature Highlights:
* File compression reduces file space, facilitates file transfers, consolidates many files into a single archive, and reduces the risk of corruption
* Dynamic and secure tool to compress files on Mac
* Successfully compress any number of files without any loss of precision
* Offers 10 different compression levels (SuperFast to Best)
* Create and open standard ZIP file formats
* Generates ZIP files in two different extensions, .zip or .rzip
* Updates existing ZIP files - add or delete files from the existing .zip, .rzip, or .zipx files
* Multicore enabled for faster compression
* Compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and above (64-bit only)

Pro Edition Added Features:
* Ability to create compressed files of more than 4 GB
* Compress a single file or multiple files into a ZIP file within a few seconds
* Split large compressed files into two or more smaller files
* Secure your .rzip and .zip file with password protection
* Supports Standard, AES Encryption 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit encryption

Omer Faiyaz, CEO of Remo Software, described four benefits of file compression. "First, compressed files utilize less storage space. Compression reduces the size of the file by 20% to 90%, depending on the level of compression. Users can easily triple the available space on their hard drives by compressing infrequently accessed data, media, and applications. Second, many email clients impose size limits on files that can be sent or received - no matter its size, any file can be compressed and split sufficiently to send it via email. Third, file compression minimizes transfer time. Storing files within a single compressed, archived folder lets users send all their files at once with a single command, eliminating the time required to add multiple attachments, and minimizing the transfer time by sending fewer bits. Fourth, compression reduces the risk of file corruption during transfer."

"Just drag n' drop any file into the Remo ZIP Compress window and click the Compress button," stated Omer Faiyaz of Remo Software. "With batch processing and 64-bit, multicore compatibility, compressing your files will create additional storage space and speed your workflow."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Lion 10.7, or Mountain Lion 10.8
* RAM 1 GB RAM minimum, 2 GB or more recommended
* 64-bit Intel processor

Pricing and Availability:
Remo ZIP Free Edition for Mac is free and available worldwide directly from Remo Software. Remo ZIP Pro Edition for Mac is available for $29.95 (USD).

FarmYard Piano iPad App Teaches Music to Kids via Animals - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Moonpans Apps announces FarmYard Piano 1.1. FarmYard Piano is an iPad app for kids that allows them to play songs and nursery rhymes via a farmyard animal keyboard. The child just needs to select an animal from the top menu, then play that animal's sound on the keyboard below. In the latest version, a new song learning module had been added, which uses simple musical notes arranged in sheet music form, that corresponds to the same notes above the animals.

London, United Kingdom - Moonpans Apps announces FarmYard Piano 1.1. FarmYard Piano is a very simple to use, single screen app based in a farmyard. The child just needs to select an animal from the top menu, then play that animal's sound on the keyboard below. The sounds span 8 musical notes from C to high C and can be set to a single animal - pigs, cows, sheep, ducks, or for a very fun result, a mixture of all 4!

Making full use of the iPad's, multi-touch feature, many animals can be played at the same time or played in quick succession such as running your finger up and down the keyboard. The app has been designed to give young children a strong audio and visual reaction, as whenever an animal is touched not only will you hear its sound, but it will also animate as it pushes out its oink, moo, baa or quack.

In the latest version 1.1, a new song lessons feature has been added that displays well known childrens' songs and nursery rhymes along with the musical notes for each. The corresponding notes also appear above the animals thus allowing the child to play the song using the animals.

Several age groups will enjoy FarmYard Piano, from babies who will enjoy the audio and visual reactions, toddlers who like making as much noise as possible, to older piano savvy children who will be able to play simple tunes, but would prefer to Baa, Baa Black Sheep using actual sheep rather than a boring old piano!

Language Support:
English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 9.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
FarmYard Piano 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Crate 1.01 - Just Released and on Sale to Celebrate - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kallergis Consulting Limited announces Crate 1.01, on sale until the 4th of July to celebrate the release. Crate is a music player, a remote control, a Jukebox, and a media server that shares like no other app can. It lets users browse, playback, and control the music playing on the device running Crate using a web browser from any device on your network. Clients don't need to have Crate installed, which means they can connect from an Android, or a computer, or anything with a recent browser.

Hamilton, Canada - Kallergis Consulting Limited announces Crate 1.01, on sale until the 4th of July to celebrate the release. Crate 1.01 is a music player, a remote control, a Jukebox, and a media server that can do things no other app can.

Any device with a recent browser on your network can:
* Get access to the music in your library using a web browser
* Browse and playback your music remotely
* Control whats playing on the Crate server
* See and add to the playlist on the server

Your iPod speaker dock is not complete without Crate. No other app does what Crate can do. Want to let your friends help with music selection? Crate takes requests.

Crate blows the other remote control, and Jukebox apps out of the water because it has more advanced technology. it does not need to be installed on every device. It works on almost everything, without needing to install anything on clients. It's also faster. And it does more.

Crate can be remotely controlled by any device with an HTML 5 capable web browser because it has a built in web server to talk to other devices on your private network.

When you connect into it, you can browse the library, push songs onto the playlist, and play tracks locally, and fully remotely control the server.

You only need to run Crate on one device, and all other devices can talk to it. There aren't any other apps out there that can do what Crate does, and Crate does it easily, smoothly, and quickly.

Aren't you tired of buying remote control apps that you have to install on all of your devices to get them to do anything? Then, you need to buy the equivalent for all your devices platforms if you want to use them together, assuming it's even available. All of this, only to have to spend time keeping them all on the same version so they'll work.

Forget that nonsense. Buy Crate once and be done with it!

Crate also works just like the built in Music app, so there's no reason not to trade up to it. Get it now for the introductory low price! The price goes up soon.

You can connect to Crate with any HTML5 browser. Once connected, you can browse the host's music library, and push items onto the host's playlist.

If you connect with a browser that supports m4a audio, (like Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer 10) you can listen to music files on clients that connect in, as long as the files are not DRM encoded. Try it out and see. It plays nice with phones, tablets, and computers.

When you're running Crate, your device is the server. Plug it into a stereo, and control what's playing on it with almost any other device. Devices connecting to Crate do not need to have Crate installed because they communicate with the same language the Internet uses.

Note that for Crate to be available for incoming connections it has to be running. To host a party, plug your device into power, hook up some speakers, and share the name or IP of the Crate device with others on your network.

Crate works best on devices with an A5 chip or better. Older devices work, but may take a little longer to convert some music files to stream.

If you've read this far, you're getting to the really cool stuff. You can use Crate without a wi-fi network, if you have an iPhone or iPad with a data plan. Turn 'Personal Hotspot' on, and then start Crate. Anybody that connects to your hotspot can access Crate by navigating to 172.20.10.1 A cool application for this is to use Crate at a Park, or in a car!

This works great, but keep in mind that any client connected will be able to access the Internet through your plan.

Check out our other app if you're interested in software development, or want to support small independent developers. It shares lots of the Crate DNA, so it's equally awesome. It's called Server, and if you're a programmer wanting to try something new, it's for you.

In case you were wondering, Zac Rubino is the man. Follow Mr. Caz on Twitter for insights into awesome!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad

Healthy Alarm a Simple App to Start Your Day Healthy and Active - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Developer Yoon Hwang has recently unveiled his latest health-oriented application for iOS and Android. Healthy Alarm serves to enhance the general wake-up routine for the user. Healthy Alarm was created to bring a health element to the everyday routine. The application features helpful diagrams and a friendly tone as the user cycles through the health routine. Each exercise is designed to perform a different task within the body such as twisting to stretch and walking to awake the user.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Developer Yoon Hwang has recently unveiled his latest health-oriented application for iOS and Android. Titled Healthy Alarm, the app hopes to enhance the general wake-up routine for the user. Priced at $0.99, Healthy Alarm is currently available in multiple countries around the world on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.

"Health is such a pressing issue nowadays, using an alarm clock as a workout opportunity is a fantastic idea combatting this" said a representative from Applans.com, professional mobile app marketing agency.

Healthy Alarm performs essentially like a regular alarm would: set multiple alarm clocks, choose a sound to wake up to and finally activate it. The difference comes when the alarm sounds. You will be presented with a list of exercises that you must complete in order to deactivate the alarm. Not only does this help to liven the user, but it also helps to keep the user on a regular workout routine.

Healthy Alarm was created to bring a health element to the everyday routine. The exercises are short and usually won't cause the user to sweat - yet, after a few weeks of using the specialized alarm - the user will begin to notice a positive change in both their wake-up routine and even their health.

The application features helpful diagrams and a friendly tone as the user cycles through the health routine. The exercises will vary, of which most do not require extra skill to perform. Each exercise is designed to perform a different task within the body such as twisting to stretch and walking to awake the user. It's a simple idea yet highly effective when considering how frequent the average alarm is used.

Healthy Alarm uses the accelerometer of said device to track the user's movement, ensuring that they cannot skip to activity - although forceful, it is highly effective to persuade the user to complete the activities - instead of simply skipping through them as though it is a snooze button.

This alarm app is a great alternative to the general alarm - bringing health, fitness and wellbeing together in a user-friendly form. Healthy Alarm is currently available on Android and iOS devices respectively. Healthy Alarm supports Android 4.0 and up, and iOS on iPod touch and iPhone.

"Healthy Alarm is a futuristic take on the alarm clock, it's helps to maintain fitness and will also aid your wake-up routine - leaving you to get on with what matters most in your day. Healthy Alarm 1.1.1 is now available on iOS and Android devices, worldwide" - stated Hwang.

* A modern take on the conventional alarm clock
* Perform multiple fitness exercises to turn the alarm off
* Option for multiple alarms
* Repeat alarms on certain days

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad

Content Management Platform Contentful Launches Beta - Published on 06/26/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contentful, a new content management platform for web and mobile applications, launches its beta program today, after securing seed funding from Balderton Capital and Point Nine Capital. Contentful is a flexible and future-friendly content management platform which helps editors and developers to respectively manage and serve content to web and mobile applications. Contentful is the first content management system to allow content to be distributed to multiple device types with one single input.

Berlin, Germany - Contentful, a new content management platform for web and mobile applications is launching its beta program today, after securing seed funding from Balderton Capital and Point Nine Capital as well as assembling an expert Advisory Board.

Contentful is a flexible and future-friendly content management platform which helps editors and developers to respectively manage and serve content to web and mobile applications. With its API-first approach to content management, Contentful is the first content management system to allow content to be distributed to multiple device types with one single input. Until now, content management systems have been developed for websites, but not to efficiently serve content to interactive applications.

Contentful has been built from the ground up to deliver content to apps on iOS, Android, or interactive HTML5 and JavaScript applications. Content is managed in a completely presentation-independent format and can be served to all current and future platforms, including Google Glass, iWatch or even cars with Apple's upcoming iOS 7 integration.

Since establishing the company in Berlin in 2011, Contentful's first product StorageRoom has helped over 1000 international customers - from individual developers to global corporations - improve the way they convey their online media content to thousands of consumers worldwide.

Sascha Konietzke, CEO of Contentful, explains, "I developed many apps for customers. During all that time I never found a CMS to serve content to apps as efficiently as I wanted. The problem I found time and time again was that existing CMS were built a decade ago with a focus on websites and HTML4. They are web publishing tools and only superficially separate content from presentation. This constrains content publishing on new platforms. The solution we created at Contentful aims to solve this issue once and for all as a content management platform focusing on structured content, with a great author experience and a powerful API."

Roberto Bonanzinga, partner at Balderton Capital, comments, "Contentful is exactly the sort of company we always look to invest in: a talented team with an exceptional, disruptive idea. Contentful is changing content management and distribution forever. Sascha and his team recognize that content no longer sits solely on websites and so multi-device capability must be a standard requirement for any content management system. We are excited to be able to help Contentful achieve their ambition to be the engine behind the revolution in online content management."

Contentful is open to beta sign ups from today at Contentful online.

In addition to securing venture capital funding to fuel the next stage of corporate development, Contentful has established a global Advisory Board of content and technology specialists. The Board includes Alexander Bruehl, former partner at Atlas Capital; Francesco Cesarini, Founder & Technical Director at Erlang Solutions; Daniel Heaf, Chief Digital Officer at BBC Worldwide; Karen McGrane, CEO of Bond Art + Science; Todd Tran, Head of Advertising EMEA & APAC at Rovio; and Michael Wolfe, serial entrepreneur and former EIR at Benchmark.
