Completing a Moral Inventory is a Huge Challenge - Life Inventory Helps - Published on 07/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

James Hollender's Life Inventory app will help 12-Steppers complete Step 4, a Moral Inventory. This app may be complex, but once understood is amazing and built-in instructions are a great help guiding 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 ever thought possible. There are separate versions for iPad and iPhone.

Revere, Massachusetts - James Hollender's Life Inventory apps can help 12-Steppers complete a Moral Inventory. This app may be complex, but once understood is amazing and built-in instructions are a great help guiding 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. This app allows 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. There are separate versions for iPad and iPhone/iPod touch. 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 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.

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. This app costs USD 9.99. There may be additionally an iPhone version available."

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." James Hollender is also the author of a suite of Nutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database:

* iCarbs (Carbohydrates)
* iCholesterol (Dietary Cholesterol)
* iFiber (Fiber)
* iKals (Calories)
* iPotassium (Potassium)

* iSatFat (Saturated Fat)
* iSodium (Sodium)
* iSugars (Sugars)

* iNutrients (encompasses all ten nutrients listed above)

Device Requirements:

Review copies are available on request.

Fortunicon - Instantly Share Smiles With Funny and Inspirational Quotes - Published on 07/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fortunicon, a free new app for iPhone now available in the iTunes App Store, lets users deliver smiles and funny or motivational quotes to friends and family with the aid of a cuddly panda and charming emoji. Developed by Mind4Apps, the app delivers uplifting, loving and comical quotes that send just the right message. Fortunicon's panda delivers day-brightening quotes and emoji, Japanese-style art and emoticons, using text (SMS), WhatsApp, email, Facebook and Twitter.

Rotterdam, The Netherlands - Who doesn't love a panda? Using one of nature's most adored and fascinating creatures, Fortunicon delivers uplifting, loving and comical quotes that send just the right message. Developed by Mind4Apps, the new, free Fortunicon app is now available through the iTunes App Store.

"Sometimes words escape us when we want to connect with people," said Erik Keller, founder of Mind4Apps. "Maybe your mother needs motivation after a bad week. Maybe you want to make your best friend or coworker laugh during a mind-numbing class or meeting. Whatever your reason, you can send the perfect message using the Fortunicon panda's emotions and expressions."

The Fortunicon character, a panda symbolizing peace and good fortune, knows that sharing inspirational and caring messages with friends can help make the world a better place. Fortunicon's panda delivers day-brightening quotes and emoji, Japanese-style art and emoticons, using text (SMS), WhatsApp, email, Facebook and Twitter.

Users can choose from Fortunicon's large collection of unique quotes or write their own. The Fortunicon panda can send quotes and messages such as:
* Wise: "Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful; it's bad, it's experience."
* Motivational: "Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom."
* Funny: "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it."
* Loving: "You can connect with me even without the Internet."

Fortunicon users who favor Twitter can choose from a special selection of wise, motivational, funny and loving quotes designed to fit into 140 characters. If users choose not to send quotes and art right away, Fortunicon saves them to an album or clipboard.

Upgrading to a full version of Fortunicon through an in-app purchase allows ad-free access to more than 100 different Fortunicon quotes and emoji. Users can be the first among their friends to send lively quotes via social media complete with the Fortunicon panda and his specially-drawn emoji.

"Plenty of apps deliver quotes and emoji, but none do so with the flair and charm of Fortunicon's affable panda," said Keller. "Fortunicon ensures that you will no longer be short of funny or inspirational quotes to send to your friends and that your message will never fail to delight."

Committed to building a better world and helping pandas stick together, Mind4Apps donates a portion of its revenues from Fortunicon to the World Wildlife Fund.

Device requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S and iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd, 4th and 5th gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 9.8 MB

Pricing and availability:

Flow Studio's Leap Motion Enabled Game Sortee Release Today - Published on 07/22/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Flow Studio is announcing Leap Motion controlled game Sortee. Sortee is a fast-paced puzzle game that tests your perception of everyday objects. A powerful educational tool for kids, players must sort everyday objects based on the criteria that define them, such as an item's color, the material it's made from, or how it's used. PC and Mac versions are on sale in the Airspace store today to coincide with the new motion gesture controller's ship date.

Prague, Czech Republic - Independent developer Flow Studio is announcing Leap Motion controlled game Sortee. PC and Mac versions are on sale in the Airspace store today to coincide with the new motion gesture controller's ship date. Sortee - a puzzle game that will change how you think about junk.

Sortee is a fast-paced puzzle game that tests your perception of everyday objects. What color is an apple: red or green? How many legs does a seahorse have? Is an igloo cold, or round, or somebody's home - or all three? Players must sort everyday objects based on the criteria that define them, such as an item's color, the material it's made from, or how it's used.

Although Sortee was designed with adult players in mind, its initial iOS release has also shown it to be a powerful educational tool for kids. "Sortee is the most well received edu-game we've seen so far," says Mathieu Marunczyn, IT Leader and eLearning teacher at Jackson School, Victoria, Australia. "Although the game can be difficult even for sharp adult brains, the kids mode allowed us to use the game for learning purposes and still have lots of fun."

Pricing and Availability:
Priced at $2.99 (USD), Sortee is available for both PC and Mac in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese language. Minimum requirements are Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.6, i3 2GHz, a graphics card with DirectX 9 or higher, 2GB of RAM, and 350MB HDD space.
