ACTPrinter 4.4 - Virtual printer and PDF converter for iPhone and iPad - Published on 07/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Houdah Software today announces ACTPrinter 4.4, an update to their popular virtual printer for iPhone and iPad. ACTPrinter helps anyone save paper by allowing them to print from the Mac or PC to their mobile devices. ACTPrinter 4.4 makes it even easier to go paperless: it saves web pages & clipboard content as PDF printouts, converts popular document formats to PDF and so much more. If a paper copy is needed after all, ACTPrinter can forward printouts to printers attached to a Mac or Windows PC.

Luxembourg - Houdah Software today is proud to announce the immediate availability of ACTPrinter 4.4 for iPhone and iPad. This update to the popular virtual printer adds the ability to create PDF from web pages, documents and the clipboard - right on iPhone or iPad. ACTPrinter also includes a document scanner feature to be unlocked by an in-app purchase.

When we released ACTPrinter back in 2009 we thought of it as a paperless repository for travel documents, reservation confirmations, electronic tickets and boarding passes. Soon our customers found it many more uses. They were printing all sorts of documents from their Mac to their iPhone. Many even printed whole books.

ACTPrinter has since seen many revisions. These brought support for iPad, sections for organizing printouts, and more. A big step forward was the addition of a Windows printer driver. Not so long ago ACTPrinter 4.0 brought a fresh design to allow more rapid access to existing feature. More importantly though it created room for new features.

At its core, ACTPrinter remains a virtual printer: Save paper. Print documents, electronic tickets, travel plans, web pages, ... to your iPhone or iPad. Read on the go. Be prepared and have your documents always with you.

ACTPrinter 4.4 gives users even more option helping them to save paper:
* Web printer: save web pages as PDF printouts
* Clipboard printer: copy text or images in any iOS application. Save the selection to PDF in ACTPrinter
* Document printer: convert many popular file formats to PDF printouts
* Transfer documents between instances of ACTPrinter on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows PC

Should a paper copy be needed after all, ACTPrinter stands to help:
* Print to printers attached to a Mac or Windows PC
* Print to Apple AirPrint enabled printers

Feature highlights:
* Print from any Mac / PC application to iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (*)
* Mac / PC and iOS device pair seamlessly using Apple Bonjour aka ZeroConf
* Save web pages, documents and clipboard contents as PDF printouts
* Send printouts to other applications. Share via email
* Forward printouts to printers attached to a Mac or Windows PC (*)

(*) Requires a free helper to be installed on the Mac or PC

ZipZapMac Releases Periscope Pro - Motion-Based Mac Video Surveillance - Published on 07/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ZipZapMac today introduces Periscope Pro 1.0, an application that turns a Mac into a multi-featured video surveillance system. The motion-detection algorithm developed for Periscope Pro is sophisticated, highly sensitive, user tunable, and is comparable those used in standalone surveillance systems costing thousands of dollars. By automatically uploading clips to a free DropBox account, the user can view clips anytime, anywhere to see what is happening.

Prague, Czech Republic - ZipZapMac today released Periscope Pro, an application that turns a Mac into a multi-featured video surveillance system. Most computer-based video surveillance software takes videos regularly at a pre-set interval, generating hundreds or even thousands of useless clips that have to be sorted through to find what the user wants. But, Periscope Pro can be set to shoot only when there is motion, that is, activity going on, capturing exactly what the user is looking for, saving enormous amounts of search time and storage.

Monitor From Anywhere:
By automatically uploading clips to a free DropBox account, the user can view clips anytime, anywhere to see what is happening - from a restaurant across town, an airport in another city, or even from the other side of the world.

Highly Flexible:
Periscope Pro can be setup in a less than a minute and the user can choose everything from the sensitivity of the motion detection, to clip length, to alternate recording mode, including timed and continuous mode, and even video resolution. It can be set to start recording at login, at launch, or it can be started manually from its control panel.

"We began with the idea of protecting our own Macs with our Spy Cam product by recording who was using them," said Stanislav Kuptsov, Managing Director of ZipZapMac, "Then we saw many other uses, but they required a more flexible approach and selective filming. So, we created Periscope Pro to fill those needs," he said.

Periscope Pro can be used to monitor everything from a filing cabinet in your office to the baby's room - anywhere you want know when there has been activity and what that activity was. With its 1-click video library access, Periscope Pro makes it easy to find the clips you want to see.

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.6 or later
* 1.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Periscope Pro 1.0 is $19.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Utilities category.

Guide launches its highly anticipated technology to a global audience - Published on 07/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Guide allows users to curate and consume content when reading isn't an option. Its core technology focuses on transforming textbased news content into a dynamic and engaging video experience by utilizing embedded images, videos, and even social interactions into an experience narrated by a virtual news anchor. Guide offers a completely new take on the newsreader app quickly jettisoned it to the top 100 News iPad apps in over 60 markets globally in under one week.

"We always felt that Guide would resonate with consumers in Asia, but could have never anticipated such a dramatic adoption while still an Englishonly app," said Guide CEO and founder Freddie Laker.

"Helping both small and large publishers generate video content directly from their existing, textbased content is a big part of our ongoing efforts," said Guide Chief Operating Officer and head of publisher relations Leslie Bradshaw. "The early success of our consumer experience is helping to validate our approach and our value."

Over thirty major publications have covered Guide since it announced its technology and vision in February 2013 and it has been named one of the top startups to watch by PC World, Read Write, Laptop Magazine, and Bloomberg Businessweek. Last week's launch marked the first time the public was able to download and engage with Guide.

Heliceum Catapults Naughty Boy: Sling And Shoot Onto iOS and Android - Published on 07/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Heliceum today introduces Naughty Boy - Sling and shoot 1.0, its new endless 3D slingshot game for Apple and Amazon App Stores, and now on Google Play. In Naughty Boy, players will embody Duke, the high school junior raised in a Redneck 'nouveau riche' family who doesn't want to go to school. Escape his 6 family members as long as possible, by keeping them away with different projectiles found in the house. In the process, all furniture and objects are broken which helps raise a player's score.

Cupertino, California - Heliceum, a company specialized in the development and publishing of digital content for smartphones and tablets, today announces the launch of their new creation "Naughty Boy: sling and shoot" on the Apple and Amazon App Stores, and now on Google Play Store. Naughty Boy is an endless 3D slingshot game where you'll embody Duke, the high school junior raised in a Redneck 'nouveau riche' family who doesn't want to go to school.

No way, I won't go to French class!' Armed with his slingshot, the naughty boy/gamer does everything he/she can to keep his/her family away, and avoid getting caught. Room after room, the naughty boy's objective is to escape his 6 family members as long as possible, by keeping them away with different projectiles found in the house. All furniture and objects from Ming vases, to greek statues and more are broken in the process which helps raise a player's score!

Upgrades for improved skills:
As he plays along, the player will collect candies that will enable him/her to upgrade his slingshot (in wood, iron, gold or diamond) and his projectiles (including golf, tennis, pool and baseballs) to become more rapid and powerful. If he gets caught, he will have one last chance to avoid the schoolbus by using batteries - that he can collect during the game - to free himself and pursue his game course. The game can also become more tactical if one wants to obtain the best scoring: the longer you press, the more damage you'll inflict to your targets.

Off-the-wall humor throughout the mansion What with the hilarious animations, local damages, wacky characters and kitsch decor, humor is everywhere to be found! The brat/ player will have to look for special projectiles hidden among the bling furniture, like the Bomba Mexicana for maximum damage, Freezerator to freeze instantly his/her opponents and a rocket pigeon which never misses the target. The player also has the possibility to test your naughtiness in the 'Full Destruction" mode, where the goal will be to break as much furniture as possible in a limited time. In a naughty boy mindset, the more you break, the more you score!

A 3D game for fun destruction effects:
With the Unity 3d engine, Naughty Boy enjoys entirely destructible 3D settings and fun destruction effects. Hence, the player will feel the thrill of being a naughty boy again, as they destroy a maximum number of objects in the process and revel in seing the rooms virtually ransacked, getting even more points in the process.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 46.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:

Martino Orlandi explains: "New logo, new font, a new layout that perfectly integrates with the iOS 7.

Albumm is Bringing Real Photo Sharing to iOS - Published on 07/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Blank Market today is proud to introduce Albumm 1.0 for iOS. Often friends agree to share photos from a holiday, party, or a similar event where everyone has been taking photos with their iPhone. Always intentions are good, but only rarely do friends end up getting the photos from friends. Albumm instantaneously shares photos while you're capturing those great moments - long before you've posted them on Instagram or created an album on Flickr.

Copenhagen, Denmark - The market of social photo apps is crowded with incumbent US start-ups backed by millions of dollars, so why even bother approaching this space.

But to Blank Market, social isn't really sharing - it's more a public display for your friends to see and comment on. Albumm is about sharing your photos with your friends where they get their own copy. So no more asking friends to send pictures from the trip to the beach, the barbecue or the like - now 'copies' are shared the moment they are shot.

Albumm is a unique and great way to create and share entire albums that your friends can see and modify. Simply invite friends and family to join an albumm and everyone's snapshots will automatically be saved and organized across every iPhone.

Easily shared - easy backup:
Users can see the pictures being shared in Albumm, but its developers were determined to create an app where the posted photos are not contained within the app as they are in other social media apps. "When you share photos with Albumm everyone's photos are saved directly to the your iPhone's native photos app - organized by albumm name of course," co-founder Anders Hoejmose explains, "This way we ensure that the photos shared really become yours to keep in the easiest way possible."

Because Albumm pushes pictures and albumms to your iPhone's native photos app, you have complete and instant access to the photos. This convenient out-of-app functionality gives you a totally hassle-free sync to your preferred viewer or backup provider, like Flickr or Picasa, iCloud or Dropbox.

Albumm is designed and built by a small Copenhagen start-up: "We know that there are a lot of photo sharing apps out there, but we still missed an app that would share photos among friends and family - like really share the pictures, and not just as an update on Facebook or the like," says co-founder and lead developer Klaus Vibjerg. "Often we found ourselves in a situation where we wanted photos taken by friends, and without any app really solving that issue, we set out to build that perfect app ourselves," he continues.

No other app gives you this unique method of sharing pictures while still having full and seamless access to them afterwards. From now on, you'll never have to ask friends or family to send any photos - they are already on your iPhone.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (generation 3-5) and iPad
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 4.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Albumm 1.0 Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

WritePad Turns iPads, iPods and iPhones into a Complete Writing Hub - Published on 07/12/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Spokane, Washington based PhatWare today announces the launch of WritePad 6.7 for Windows 8, iPhone, iPad & iPod touch as well as Android. WritePad is a new note taking app that blends deep text editing features with a self-improving handwriting recognition system that learns users writing patterns to offer a uniquely practical mobile writing solution. The app redefines the writing experience on mobile devices and features Microsoft SkyDrive integration for cloud based doc storage and sharing.

Spokane, WA - PhatWare Corp., a leading professional software and application developer, is excited today to announce the release of WritePad 6.7 onto the iTunes App Store. A powerful note taking solution, this utility gives users a single mobile hub that mixes together conventional digital text creation features such as text copy, paste, cut and spell checking options among many others with a unique self-improving handwriting recognition system which learns individual users writing patterns to be able to better assist them. The result is an intuitive writing platform that redefines how users take notes and write documents. Featuring Microsoft SkyDrive integration and a slew of other note saving and sharing options, WritePad 6.7 is currently available for only $4.99 - down from its normal $9.99 price tag - in celebration of its recent enhancement for a limited time only!

WritePad brings the functionality of conventional text and document creation software and blends them with the on-the-go usability of a touch based note taking platform. Users don't simply have a novel platform to write a few words and play around with their mobile devices - something that inadvertently happens to most if not all gesture based writing apps - instead WritePad enables them to write as deeply as they want to, regardless of whether that's to take notes during lectures or begin writing papers, business documents, and everything in between. Furthermore, now available with the power to save notes and documents to Microsoft SkyDrive, users can rest easy knowing that their hard work will still be there even if for any reason their mobile device isn't. SkyDrive complements WritePad perfectly, giving users the power to safely store all of their created notes the same place right next to photos and other important documents. SkyDrive is a great cloud storage solution for
Android and iOS users, and especially helpful for Windows users, where SkyDrive is a built-in functionality. Saving and sharing via Google Docs, Evernote, Dropbox, iCloud and email are available as well.

Thought is what makes users written content valuable at the end, but technology is what helps them get there as intuitively as possible with WritePad. The app boasts inline gesture, spell checking, context analyzing, and shorthand writing recognition features, all of which work regardless of whether users use their finger, a Bluetooth Pressure Stylus, or their devices' digital keyboard to write. Meanwhile a wide array of text, pages, and ink/font color editing features offered as part of the app's innovative 'Styles' toolbox ensure users can customize their notes exactly how they want to each and every time. Social media integration gives users the power to share notes via Twitter and Facebook with the click of a button as well.

With over thirteen global languages supported, and a handwriting recognition system that gets better and better the more it's utilized, WritePad is the perfect solution for anyone who needs a complete writing platform even when they can't bring their laptop with them. WritePad, along with PhatWare's PhatPad, are both fantastic tools for organizing your thoughts in a unique and natural way. We're very excited to work with PhatWare to bring them to the hundreds of millions of people who use SkyDrive on Windows, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android. For more information on WritePad visit website.
