IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UK iPhone app developer Essency Limited, has announced V2.9.1 of Awareness!(R) The Headphone App. The innovative 'listening' street safety app was launched to tackle the growing problem of accidents caused by pedestrians wearing headphones and is nearing 250k downloads.

London, United Kingdom - UK iPhone app developer Essency Limited, has announced V2.9.1 of Awareness!(R) The Headphone App. The innovative 'listening' street safety app was launched to tackle the growing problem of accidents caused by pedestrians wearing headphones and is nearing 250k downloads.
V2.9.1 is the best version yet of this innovative real-time iPhone app, with the audio-core totally rewritten to provide a massive boost in microphone volume, allowing users to hear warnings over even the loudest music.
"Awareness!(R) listens for danger when you can't"
Features Include:
* Rewritten audio core for massive increase in microphone volume
* Essency Real-Time Engine(TM) for instantaneous response
* One-touch music pause - just tap to listen
* iPhone 5 Retina Graphics
* Extensive code optimisation and iOS7 prep
Tackling Headphone Oblivion:
When headphones go on and the sound goes up, awareness of the outside world goes down. People die every day as they walk into traffic, lost in their music and oblivious to the warning honk of an oncoming vehicle. Commuters miss the cautioning shriek of an arriving tube or the 7.30 train. Phone calls and visitors get missed as people sit at home lost in their music. Children ignore everything as their ears are filled with music and games. Travellers miss flights as last calls go unheard.
A Global Problem:
In a study conducted by the Injury Prevention Journal, researchers found that the rise in popularity of handheld devices, has coincided with a sharp increase in the number of road and street accidents in which the victim had their hearing distorted, usually by listening to music via headphones. In 116 accidents reported, 81 of these resulted in death. In many of these cases, a warning sound or siren was given, but to no avail.
Solving the Headphone Oblivion Problem:
Awareness!(R) The Headphone App was built to solve the serious problem of 'Headphone Oblivion' by using the iPhone's headset microphone to automatically feed the outside world into a user's ears, allowing users to listen to their music or movies, yet remain fully world aware.
Spatial audio awareness is a lifesaver, as hearing is one of the most important senses we posses. Even in familiar environments such as the daily walk home from school or weight room at the gym, a lack of attention can prove fatal.
Awareness!(R) is an essential app for music listening pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, bikers, joggers, runners and others who need audio awareness for safety's sake.
Other Benefits - Hear and Talk while listening to music
Awareness!(R) lets users talk while wearing headphones, a major convenience these days when many earphones are embedded deep in the ears and are hard to remove. This function is also perfect on flights, when the stewards etc come around offering drinks.
The Update:
Awareness!(R) V2.9.1 is the best version yet of this innovative real-time street safety app. This the App's twelfth major update and along with lots of tweaks and full iPhone 5 Retina Graphics, the audio-core has been totally rewritten to provide a massive boost in microphone volume, allowing users to hear warnings over even the loudest music.
Robert Follis, CEO of Essency Limited, commented:
"I'm a firm believer in the power of technology and love the ways it can enrich everyday life. But along with this advancement comes danger, when multimedia becomes the focus of attention and other sounds are drowned out in favour of music or movies. That's why we wanted to create an app that lets users enjoy the benefits of their favourite music etc on-the-go, without compromising their safety in potentially dangerous situations."
Welcomed By Parents And Users:
The patented technology behind Awareness!(R) has been welcomed by thousands of parents who worry about their children listening to their devices while travelling on busy roads. Teenagers who insist on listening to music at top volume, further impairing their hearing and making them more vulnerable to road accidents, can stay safe with the simple download.
Awareness!(R) lets users hear the world around them, as they listen to Music, Games or Movies. The level and timing of the warnings / conversation is up to the user. The cutting edge solution to a very modern problem has already won rave reviews from parents, commuters and travellers alike.
One user commented;
"Awareness - So worth having. Being able to hear and react to surrounding environments while enjoying more music throughout the day. Must have."
Another user said;
"Excellent app, I use this every time I fly - It's an essential on my iPhone"
"Recommended to anyone out and about with their iPhone"

Dive into Yoga App Makes Splash With Yoga Fans - Published on 07/17/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Internationally acclaimed yoga expert and teacher, Christine Martitz has incorporated her very successful yoga instructional DVD into Dive into Yoga 1.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Martitz uses the power of video to demonstrate in real-time the postures that will elevate you to the next level of mind, body and spirit. Anyone can immediately harvest the benefits of yoga with 26 high-quality videos of Christine demonstrating the postures plus a breathing exercise.
New York, New York - Pick up your iPhone and begin a new journey to health, fitness, and a brand new lifestyle by tapping into the powerful yet easy-to-use Dive into Yoga app for iPhone, iPad and iPod. Christine Martitz, internationally acclaimed yoga expert and teacher, has incorporated her very successful yoga instructional DVD into the Dive into Yoga app so anyone can immediately harvest the benefits of yoga with 26 high-quality videos of Christine demonstrating the postures plus a breathing exercise.
Rather than using still shots, as most yoga apps do, Martitz uses the power of video to demonstrate in real time the postures that will elevate you to the next level of mind, body and spirit to being about wellness, fitness and contentment with self. In addition to fitness and well-being, Dive into Yoga will help the user control their cholesterol levels, reduce weight, normalize blood pressure, and improve cardiac performance.
Martitz, who began practicing yoga at age 11, has been a multi-lingual yoga instructor for more than 25 years. She was first encouraged to incorporate her expertise into an instructional DVD by the late Helen Gurley Brown, highly acclaimed and beloved author, publisher and editor.
Helen Gurley Brown took private yoga lessons in her home from Martitz once a week for 13 years. Gurley Brown benefited so much from that instruction that she not only urged Martitz to produce an instructional DVD, but also insisted on recording the introduction.
The DVD was produced by 3 time Emmy Winner David Seeger who works for all the major networks and is about to come out with his own show. David Seeger is the CEO of Today Video Inc., where he has been working with Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Bon Jovi and Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Cee Lo Green, Charlie Sheen and Jeremy Irons, to name a very few.
Following the success of the DVD, a friend read about apps in the Apple magazine and insisted that a yoga app was the next logical step for Martitz in spreading the benefits of yoga to far more people and to make it easy for anyone to do yoga each day in their home and while traveling. The Dive into Yoga app that resulted can now be found in the Apple Store for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
"The down to earth teaching style I use in the app will allow you to enhance your yoga practice," says Martitz, "and get the feeling of a yoga vacation or retreat in the comfort of your own home and become a healthier you in the process."
Martitz says the app is especially useful because it contains 26 poses in video format but has the ability to view just one clip so the user can study a particular pose. Playing all the clips will produce an amazing workout, and users can also customize their own yoga set by selecting clips and saving them to a set. The app is available in English and/or German language versions.
Martitz, who currently teaches in New York City, has taught yoga in English, German and Spanish throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America. This summer Christine is teaching private and group yoga classes in the Hamptons. In addition to having been the private yoga instructor for Helen Gurley Brown, Martitz provides yoga training to several other celebrities. She is also a scuba diver and has competed in three New York City Marathons. The Dive into Yoga app is being promoted by Scott Lorenz of Westwind iPhone App Publicity.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1.3 or later
* 346 MB
Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time, Dive into Yoga 1.2 is Free (Reg $3.99) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category.

She now offers classes in New York City, and will spend the summer offering private lessons and group training in the Hamptons. She is willing to provide private and group lessons to anyone who contacts her after visiting her website. Martitz is also a scuba diver and an accomplished athlete who has competed in three New York City Marathons. Martitz has been featured by numerous media outlets including Harper's Bazaar and multiple times in Germany's Fit For Fun, SHAPE and YOGA AKTUELL as well as in FOCUS and can also be seen daily on Judge Judy doing yoga in Central Park before they blend back into the court room.
