IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nextep Applications, the Colorado-based, iOS app development company, today announces new additions to its team of experienced app developers. Founded by John Stickle in 2012, the company has several successful offerings on the App Store, including Girlfriend 411. Members of the company's team of software engineers have worked with such major players as Lockheed Martin, NASA, and Apple. Nextep Applications cordially invites inquiries from all those who would like to see their idea become an app.

Broomfield, Colorado - Nextep Applications, the Colorado based, iOS app development company, today is pleased to announce new additions to its team of experienced app developers. Founded by John Stickle in 2012, the company has several successful offerings on the App Store, including Girlfriend 411. Members of the company's team of software engineers have worked with such major players as Lockheed Martin, NASA, and Apple. Nextep Applications cordially invites inquiries from all those who have an idea for an app, but lack the time or expertise to carry it through to realization.

"We are a Colorado based company dedicated to making Apple apps come to life. Do you have an idea for an app, but lack the time and resources to create it? We specialize in creating amazing, powerful applications that provide unrivaled functionality, while remaining user-friendly. Whether you're looking for a powerful, multi-level enterprise app or just a simple yet fun app, we are the people to call."

Feature Highlights:
* Nextep Applications is a Colorado based, iOS app development company
* Nextep Applications has a team of highly experienced software engineers
* The company can take any app idea from concept to realization
* Services offered include development of both consumer and enterprise apps
* No project is considered too large or small

The iOS app revolution began in July 2008 with the opening of the App Store. Currently, there are more than 900,000 apps available, a total of more than 50 billion downloads, and more than 25,000 new apps introduced each month. With nearly half of its 50 billion downloads occurring in the past year, App Store growth shows no signs of slowing. Nextep Applications provides all the resources necessary for any individual, company, or institution to participate in this software/marketing revolution.

Currently, the App Store includes apps in the following Categories: Books, Business, Catalogs, Education, Entertainment, Finance, Food & Drink, Games, Health & Fitness, Lifestyle, Medical, Music, Navigation, News, Newsstand, Photo & Video, Productivity, Reference, Social Networking, Sports, Travel, Utilities, and Weather. "No matter what the Category, Nextep Applications will work with you to take your idea from concept to download."

Nextep Applications also caters to those interested in the creation of enterprise apps. According to Wikipedia, "Because Apple's App Store is for consumers, companies are unable to distribute in-house apps on the App Store. Under Apple's iOS Developer Enterprise Program companies can publish in-house apps to 'employees' using an Enterprise App Store. Apple defines 'employees' to include employees and contractors of a company or organization. In September 2012, Apple allowed the definition of 'employee' to include faculty, staff and students of an educational institution, as well as credentialed physicians, referring physicians and clinicians."

"We create apps that utilize the simplicity and elegance of Apple products while providing incredible features," stated John Stickle of Nextep Applications. "No app is too big or too small for us to create for you."

Life Inventory Can Help Make Your iPhone/iPad Significantly More Useful - Published on 07/15/13

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 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."

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.

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?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

AWACS Tactical Simulator 2.0 is ready for takeoff - Published on 07/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The 69Th Spanish Combat Squadron today introduces AWACS Tactical Simulator 2.00 for iPad. Based on real air operations, this simulation brings the complexity of controlling air to air and air to ground missions in combat. AWACS Tactical Simulator wants to translate the stress of air control in combat theaters, where creating air combat groups and controlling them while in combat is certainly a very hard work. Orders given to those group aircraft groups while in flight are key to success.

Barcelona, Spain - AWACS Tactical Simulator 2.0 is here. We have been working on many improvements to refine the simulator to make it a much better strategic game. Version 1.0 included tutorial scenarios, five videotutorials, one 218 pages manual, and seven theaters to put the user in different air to air and air to ground tactical analysis, controlling aircraft carriers and airbases around the world. Version 1.0 also introduced factories to replace lost aircraft, and transport aircraft that arrive sometimes with new weapons.

Version 2.0 adds new features like:

New price:
Well, this is not a feature in the game, but we think it's important to say. The AWACS Tactical Simulator now has a lower price to let you enjoy this software. But remember: the game is cheaper. Difficulty is not. This is a tactical simulator. We recommend you read the quick tutorial, and the the free manual we have written, Also take a look to the videotutorials, so you can start to know all the elements you need to understand in order to get the best of your combat tactics.

New videos:
We're now recording some new short videos. From basics to advanced tactics, we hope to show you different ways of winning. Of course you can develop your own tactics, but these videos will give you an idea of what to do. Two basic videos will be integrated in the game, so you can use them as help. You'll find more videos in our YouTube channel and blog.

New feature: Save & Load missions:
We know this one was very important. And with version 2.0 we've built until ten slots (more to come if necessary) where you can save and load your missions in progress. No matter when you save; when you reload the mission it's all there with the same waypoints, the same aircraft groups and following the same targets, ground targets or air targets. You can save a situation and reload it to experiment different tactics and see what's the best way to achieve the mission. This can be a good way of learning new tactics. But remember: every mission reloaded will start at the same point, but things are not going to be the same. The enemy AI will make different choices every time you reload a mission.

New feature: NATO-NTDS maps:
Until now, maps and icons where the typical of many games, with airplanes, cities, and other elements the way you can expect in a classical game. Now we have added the option to play the missions with a NATO-NTDS view. NTDS is an acronym for "Naval Tactical Display System" and it's the way the US Navy show their war maps. These symbols are very useful when you know them, because you can concentrate exactly on what's happening with few colors and quickly knowing position of different friendly (blue), neutral (green, yellow in the future) and enemy (red) forces.

New feature: new computed damage to ground targets:
We have enhanced the way we calculate damage to ground targets. Now if you launch a MK-84 medium bomb to a heavy target the damage will match the success of a real MK-84 by using their penetration power, explosive index, distance and level flight where you launched the bomb. If you launch a GBU it will add a precision point to the damage, because of the laser guided bomb. For example, level flight will not be considered because the laser precission of the GBU bomb. Soft targets will be easily eliminated, while hard targets will need more firepower.

New feature: real number of planes in an air group:
Now you can exactly know how many planes are in a group when this group has lost some of their units. An air group (friendly or enemy) can start with six airplanes (for example). Say two of them are shot down, you will see a four in the air group tag. This way you can control and know how many planes are remaining.

New feature: locked objects in screen when adding/modifying waypoints:
There are some missions with numerous objects in screen; targets, ships, cities, etc. When adding or modifying waypoints for the air groups, it was usually difficult not to touch these objects when you really wanted to touch a waypoint. Now, when you're working with waypoints, all the available objects in screen (except your own air groups) are disconnected so you can avoid touching other objects than the waypoint you're working with. This is an excellent feature that we know will make a lot easier to work.

New feature: button to manage flight groups:
This is a feature like the previous one, but intended for flight groups. When this new button is pressed, and while it is on (it's a switch) you can touch and manage your own flight groups without touching other objects in the screen. So we can avoid bases, targets, cities, etc., and manage the flight group directly. We think you'll use this new button very often.

New feature: Stealth F-22A and B-2:
The F-22A is a 5th Generation stealth fighter and the most expensive combat aircraft of its kind in the world. Only available in the U.S.A., it is forbidden to sell these aircrafts to other countries because of their very advanced technology. One of the most important elements in this aircraft is the radar and the stealth shape, so it can't be detected by other fighters (what is called RCS, Radar Cross Section). We have implemented this feature by avoiding detection of the F-22A when other fighters are in the area. The F-22A can also detect and shoot to an enemy plane without being detected itself by that enemy. An important thing to remember here is: don't expose yourself. Maintain distance. Too near and you'll be detected.

The B-2 stealth bomber won't be detected. However as the F-22A, if an airplane is too near the B-2 will be detected.

SAM sites will have the same problem detecting the F-22A and the B-2.

Other features:
We have worked with the code so now you can find it's more stable and reliable. Many little things have been improved to let you feel a better game experience. And, of course, we're already adding new features to the simulator. And remember: any idea you have it will be welcome. We want to hear from you.

Today's real air war means controlling many aircraft with many combat missions (air to air and air to ground). We've used the iPad as support because of its mobility, screen and features, but the main reason is: iPad is more than arcade games. In fact, deep games have myriad followers who want deep strategic and simulation games. We want to target those people.

Aircraft are modeled to act like their real counterparts. Speed, altitude, weapons, radar, and other specifications have been added to the simulation. Weapons also have been modeled, so for example a AIM-9 Sidewinder or a MK-84 bomb will be used as necessary. Manual gives all the information needed to know these weapons and how they must be used.

AWACS Tactical Simulator is a long-term project. It will be upgraded continuously to meet the requirements we want to add since the conceptual idea was modeled. New features to make it more realistic will be added in the next months. Currently we're working on the Mac version port. It will be finished in October/November.

Finally, we want to remark again: this game has been developed for everybody, but specially for those people who like complex strategy/simulation games. Examples could be Harpoon, Civilization, and so on. You really need to read at least the quick tutorial. We really think there're space for these complex games in mobile devices. We want to be there from now on.

* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 190 MB

EditShare Shared Storage Compatible With New Avid Media Composer v7.0 - Published on 07/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EditShare's industry-leading shared storage family of products. EditShare XStream, Energy and Field 2, provide advanced project and file sharing for Avid Media Composer editors. EditShare seamlessly integrates high-performance shared storage solutions with video ingest, media asset management, and archive and backup to offer broadcast and post-production professionals a productivity-enhancing, tapeless workflow on a highly scalable infrastructure.

Boston, Massachusetts - EditShare(R), the technology leader in shared media storage and end-to-end tapeless workflow solutions, announced today that its industry-leading shared storage family of products - EditShare XStream, Energy and Field 2 - is compatible with Avid(R) Technology's new Media Composer(R) v7.0 release.

"EditShare is at the center of many Avid workflows and workgroups, so keeping in step with Avid release cycles is an important part of our product development effort and overall commitment to open integration among industry technology providers," says Andy Liebman, founder and CEO, EditShare. "For EditShare customers, it will be a seamless transition from one Avid release to the next. Supported by EditShare v6.4.0.3, a free update for EditShare v6.x customers, Avid Media Composer 7 editors can continue to enjoy the same rich project and file sharing options we have provided since 2004."

A Leader in Media and Project Sharing:
Pioneering media sharing for production and post-production professionals, EditShare was the first non-Avid solution to offer Avid Project Sharing and the first shared storage solution in the media and entertainment industry to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Continuing its leadership with media sharing, EditShare was the first to offer true Project Sharing for Apple(R) Final Cut Pro(R) and the first to deliver a portable shared storage solution with EditShare Field. At NAB 2013, EditShare announced a development partnership with Adobe(R), providing deeper integration across the Creative Suite and Creative Cloud product lines.

Support for Avid Media Composer v7.0 Across EditShare Tapeless Workflow:
EditShare seamlessly integrates high-performance shared storage solutions (XStream and Energy) with video ingest (Geevs and Flow), media asset management (Flow), and archive and backup (Ark) to offer broadcast and post-production professionals a productivity-enhancing, tapeless workflow on a highly scalable infrastructure. Liebman continues, "Because EditShare systems are designed from the ground up for collaboration, releases such as Avid Media Composer 7 are supported across EditShare's end-to-end tapeless workflow, providing a fluid production and post experience from ingest to archive."

Highlights of the EditShare tapeless workflow:
At the center of EditShare's end-to-end workflow is high-performance shared storage that offers industry-leading stream counts, infinite scalability, and advanced Project Sharing with patented bin and project-locking capabilities for Avid, Final Cut Pro (v7), Adobe Premiere Pro and Lightworks.

Flow and Geevs record Avid DNxHD, ProRes and other industry-standard codecs direct to EditShare central shared storage and produce proxy files in real time, with optional mirrored and automatic backup to EditShare Ark. During ingest, users can log shots and create sub-clips.

The Flow MAM allows users to view proxy file content on their desktops without requiring access to full-resolution media as well as ingest media from file-based sources such as P2 and XDCAM. Simple editing tools and metadata templates let users add information to clips, make rough cuts, and drag-and-drop clips and sequences into their NLEs.

Ark Disk and Tape offer facilities a tiered storage infrastructure with nearline and offline archiving and backup. Ark systems can scale to multiple petabytes and allow users to browse, delete and restore archived materials (including partial restore) from any desktop on the EditShare network.

Llangollen, Wales - A5 Multimedia Ltd. today is proud to announce the upcoming release of ...and Little Ones too!, their first interactive children's storybook app developed for iPad devices.

Editor's notes:
...and Little Ones too! is an original children's rhyming story written by Mike Brown in 1986 when his sons were very young. It was a favourite bedtime story of theirs and was later fondly read and remembered at family Christmas gatherings. It has always been a dream to publish the story.

In mid 2012 after releasing several iPhone and iPad apps Aled Brown, app designer and owner of A5 Multimedia Ltd, had the idea to produce an iPad version of the family tale. Having known and worked with illustrator, Stephen Heaton, for many years and after attending the 2012 iOS Dev UK developer's conference in Aberystwyth, both Aled and Stephen were inspired by the speakers (some of whom had worked for Apple) to produce something special.

After many months of hard work and the support of family and friends ...and Little Ones too! became a reality.

Help Children Boost their Articulation with Speech Therapy for Apraxia - Published on 07/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Blue Whale Apps today is proud to announce thier popular speech therapy app Speech Therapy for Apraxia 1.2, helps children with difficulties in their speech by improving their speaking skills. Speech Therapy for Apraxia guides children through the articulation and phonemic foundations of speech, helping them approach the improvement of their speaking in a safe environment and at their own pace. Using a variety of phonemes and moving through a gentle progression of levels.

Wellington, Florida - Children with speech disorders can improve their articulation through simple, engaging activities with the #1 speech therapy app available on the market, Speech Therapy for Apraxia. In the United States, 8-9% of young children have a speech sound disorder and roughly 5 percent of children have noticeable speech disorders by the first grade. While the majority of these disorders do not have a known cause, they manifest themselves in recognizable symptoms such as apraxia, dysarthria, mixed speech and sound difficulties and more. Speech Therapy for Apraxia guides children through the articulation and phonemic foundations of speech, helping them approach the improvement of their speaking in a safe environment and at their own pace.

Developed by Blue Whale Apps and a certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) from the National Association for Child Development (NACD), Speech Therapy for Apraxia helps children practice speaking by presenting a variety of phonemes and moving through a gentle progression of levels that challenge motor planning for speech. By repeating a series of simple articulation exercises, children with difficulty speaking can improve their overall proficiency with the Speech Therapy for Apraxia suite of tablet apps for iPad, Kindle, Nook and Android tablets.

Frequently found in the Top 25 Medical category for paid iPad apps, Speech Therapy for Apraxia is the # 1 speech therapy app available on the market. The app organizes groups of consonants in eight levels roughly by developmental difficulty and place of articulation (bilabial vs. labial). Beginning with a consonant group of their choice, users learn the production of syllables by completing repetitive activities in which they produce different sounds. The lessons progress through increasingly difficult production sequences all the way to the production of sequences of random syllables. The app also includes artfully drawn illustrations, audio and repeat features to support users as they practice each sequence.

"Speech disorders are highly prevalent within the United States, especially among small children," said Lori Riggs, SLP at NACD. "Speech Therapy for Apraxia is just the product to help build both speaking skills and confidence. The app's straightforward exercises are unintimidating and its widespread availability means that parents are not limited to a single device while improving of their child's speaking skills. We hope that all of users truly enjoy Speech Therapy for Apraxia."

Speech Therapy for Apraxia Features:
* Choose from 8 different consonant groups (for a total of 19 consonant sounds) to target
* For each group, choose from 8 levels to practice
* Detailed instructions explain how to choose an appropriate consonant group and practice level
* Move through a logical progression of 8 different levels for motor planning for speech
* Illustrations and audio provided for each syllable
* Option to repeat levels, reset, or move to next level
* Can also be used for straight articulation drill for particular phonemes

Speech Therapy for Apraxia is the first of the NACD's line of apps. Speech Therapy for Apraxia - Words, the organization's second release, builds on the lessons taught in the original app by focusing on the production of words. It is available on the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store and Nook store.

Speech Therapy for Apraxia is available for $4.99 on the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store and Nook Store.

For more information on Speech Therapy for Apraxia and Speech Therapy for Apraxia - Words please visit the app website.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 10.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Speech Therapy for Apraxia 1.2 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category.
