Pocket Whip Wild West 1.0 for iOS: App with 5 Million Users Now a Game - Published on 06/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Knick Knack Media today introduces Pocket Whip Wild West 1.0 for iOS, an updated version, now a challenging game, of the original Pocket Whip app that scored 5 million downloads worldwide. Made famous by its starring role in TV's The Big Bang Theory, the original app allowed users to snap their iPhone like a whip to produce a convincing whiplash sound. The updated app includes this capability, but adds a skill-based game where players must swipe or snap their whip to destroy oncoming objects.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Knick Knack Media today introduces Pocket Whip Wild West 1.0 for iOS, an updated version, now a challenging game, of the original Pocket Whip app that scored 5 million downloads worldwide. Made famous by its starring role in season 5, episode 19 of the The Big Bang Theory TV Show, the original app allowed users to snap their iPhone like a whip to produce a convincing whiplash sound. The updated app includes this capability, but adds a skill-based game where players must swipe or snap their whip to destroy oncoming objects. The original Pocket Whip spent weeks as the number one app in the Entertainment category on the U.S. App Store.

Feature Highlights:
* Use your whip to smash oncoming, flying objects before they crack your screen
* Highly responsive, animated whip that allows skilled gamers to obliterate targets with incredible speed and accuracy
* Defend yourself from trigger-happy outlaws in a Wild West saloon
* Score direct hits and unleash the awesome destructive power of your bullwhip
* Test your accuracy and reaction time in this fast-paced, first-person whipper
* Power Mode - activated after 3 consecutive direct hits for extra whipping power
* Shake Whip - allows users to shake or snap their iDevice to unleash a sonic boom that destroys all objects
* Interactive tutorial

Outlaws have taken over the local saloon, and in the ensuing mayhem players can test their skill with the bullwhip, as bullets, whiskey bottles, barstools, tables, and chairs come flying toward them. The goal of the game is to demolish oncoming objects before they reach the inside of the screen, creating a virtual crack that reduces life.

Gameplay involves players swiping their finger from bottom to top of the screen in portrait orientation. The swipe determines both the direction and the length of the whiplash. The more accurately the whip hits a moving target, the more points the player scores. When hit, objects explode into pieces, and the resulting score appears in the object's place onscreen. A direct hit, dead center, earns bonus points. Throughout the game, authentic sounds of the whip cracking add to the action.

Scoring three consecutive direct hits activates Power Mode, where the players' whip destroys everything, no matter where they strike, and points are multiplied by the number of objects destroyed simultaneously. The pace of gameplay can become frenetic in Power Mode, as the number of objects spawned and hurtling toward the player increases to its fastest rate.

Hitting a power-up object gives players three shake/snap whips, where they strike by snapping their iDevice in a whip-cracking motion. The whip will destroy everything on the screen and multiply the score by the number of objects that are destroyed simultaneously. Other power-ups add a life when hit.

"On March 8, 2012, the highly-rated TV series, The Big Bang Theory, aired episode 19 "The Weekend Vortex," where the characters punctuated their dialogue with awesome whip cracks, which they created using their iPhones and the Pocket Whip app," stated Mason Davis of Knick Knack Media. "On March 9 the app went from 936 to number 1 in the Entertainment category of the U.S. App Store, and it stayed there for 2 weeks. Now, Pocket Whip Wild West is ready to create another outbreak of Pocket Whip fever, with an authentic animated whip, chilling whip crack sounds, and a great new game."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 13.0 MB

New Share & Spare app makes social travel simple and fun - Published on 06/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mia Foto released today Share & Spare 1.0 for iOS, designed to make travel a more social experience at home and abroad. Using location services, Share & Spare allows users to easily map journeys and invite other app users to join them along the way. By sharing start and end points, Share & Spare app users can quickly and easily network with other travellers heading in the same direction. They can then agree to share costs, making the journey cheaper, and friendlier, in the process.

Rome, Italy - Mia Foto released today Share & Spare, designed to make travel a more social experience at home and abroad. The ad-hoc journey sharing features make Share & Spare perfect for travellers looking to make friends and reduce their travel costs. By sharing start and end points, Share & Spare app users can quickly and easily network with other travellers heading in the same direction. They can then agree to share costs, making the journey cheaper (and friendlier!) in the process.

"Share & Spare allows travellers to make new friends and meet like-minded people, making their journeys much more enjoyable," said lead developer Fabrizio Bartolomucci, "and the flexible journey planning tools make the app suitable for more than just car-sharing."

"For instance, we expect walking tour operators will find the route planning helps keep their customers together and on track," explained Bartolomucci, "By simply setting start and end points, the tour operator can advise customers where to meet, and help stragglers keep up should they get separated on the way."

Routes can be mapped in advance, allowing travellers to clearly see the route to their destination. These "paths" can then be joined to other existing routes to create tours of local sights, or circular walking routes, an excellent way to sight-see on foot. Share & Spare is the ultimate tool for creating crowdsourced tours anywhere in the world.

"Because Share & Spare is so simple to use, local residents can build tours for visitors and tourists, showing them the highlights of their town or area," Bartolomucci went on, "There is also the potential for local business owners to create new revenue streams by creating tours that pass by their shop or restaurant. They can then share these routes with Share & Spare users, helping to bring their business to the attention of travellers."

The route mapping functions of Share & Spare are complimented by a built-in taxi booking service. Apps users can easily see nearby taxis on their map and book a journey with a few taps. Integration with Bartolomucci's Taxi Professional app means that travellers can get an accurate cost estimate for their journey in advance. They can then share their route with other Share & Spare users, inviting them along for the ride and providing the opportunity to split the cost, making travel cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Alternatively, cost conscious users may choose to wait until they have identified a travelling companion before booking a taxi.

"Cutting the cost of travel is simple with Share & Spare," said Bartolomucci, "the flexible design means that you can reserve a taxi when you want, where you want and with who you want, and still pay less than the normal fare by splitting costs."

The quick and easy route planning and sharing functions make Share & Spare perfect for use in arranging flash-mobs, treasure hunts or any other social event requiring shared maps. Share & Spare allows people to meet with friends at a local address, and instantly mapping the shortest route to the rendezvous point. Each traveller can also track the progress of their companion towards the meeting point too.

Share & Spare is the latest app from iOS expert Fabrizio Bartolomucci. The app is the newest addition to Bartolomucci's In Arrivo suite of social travel tools and can be used by travellers worldwide to navigate and network.

Supported Languages:
* English, Italian, French and Russian

Device requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 10.0 MB

Based in Rome, Italy, Share & Spare is the brainchild of Dr. Fabrizio Bartolomucci. Bartolomucci has been developing computer software since his youth, before graduating in 1988 with a degree in Computer Science from the University of Pisa. His apps, including iPuja Pro, Taxi Professional and In Arrivo, have received a number of positive reviews from iOS specialist blogs including AppGiveAway, SlapStart and KillerStartups thanks to the friendly nature of his user community.

San Francisco, California - Know the wines in your cellar, and when they are ready to drink. Introducing VNTG, an iPhone App designed to do those two things, simply and powerfully. The landscape of wine-focused apps is becoming complicated for users. Fragmented social communities, sales platforms disguised as apps and buggy technologies that cramp functionality have left them overwhelmed and frustrated. The problem: too many products attempting to be all things at once.

Our goal at VNTG is simple: remove the clutter and make personal cellar management an easy, reliable and enjoyable experience. VNTG lets you create a digital version of your cellar, through a smart data entry system that keeps the typing to a minimum, while keeping your information - and ultimately your cellar - perfectly organized.

Once a wine is created, VNTG uses the actual details from your bottle to generate a suggested drinking window - a date range that your wine should be starting to show its stuff. Quickly see what is ready to open now, and what might be better with a little bottle age. And everything created in VNTG - drinking windows included - is customizable, letting you tweak and adjust however you see fit.

Take notes on bottles, mark your favorites and use our robust filter system to view/sort your cellar any way you like: by country, varietal, price, drinking window, and more.
