Disector 2.0 for iOS - Research App Enables Mobile Image Analysis - Published on 08/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Motion Reboot today announces Disector 2.0 for iOS, an update to its innovative app that does unbiased stereology on sliced, 2D, biomedical images. The app incorporates 5 functions, calculating the following 2D & 3D measurements from 2D images: Volume, Surface Area, Perimeter, Density, and Total Number of Objects. Image analysts, teachers, and researchers simply import the images of slices and a scale bar, trace the contours, and tap a few objects in the region of interest.

Hallandale Beach, Florida - Motion Reboot today is pleased to announce Disector 2.0 for iOS, an update to its innovative app that performs unbiased stereology on sliced, 2D, biomedical images. The app incorporates 5 functions, calculating the following 2D & 3D measurements from 2D images: Volume, Surface Area, Perimeter, Density, and Total Number of Objects. Image analysts, teachers, and researchers simply import the images of slices and a scale bar, trace the contours, and tap a few objects in the region of interest.

Stereology is defined by Wikipedia as, "...an interdisciplinary field that is largely concerned with the three-dimensional interpretation of planar sections of materials or tissues. It provides practical techniques for extracting quantitative information about a three-dimensional material from measurements made on two-dimensional planar sections of the material. Stereology is a method that utilizes random, systematic sampling to provide unbiased and quantitative data. It is an important and efficient tool in many applications of microscopy (such as petrography, materials science, and biosciences including histology, bone, and neuroanatomy)."

"This app is suitable for Radiologists. Because I am a surgical pathologist, I applied this app to calculate a volume of prostate cancer," stated Se Hoon Kim, MD, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Neuropathology, Department of Pathology, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.

Feature Highlights:
* Supported image types include - TIFF, JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, BMPf, ICO, CUR, and XBM
* Trace finger along the contour of images
* Tap to place Q-
* Long press to delete Q-
* Pinch to zoom
* Two finger rotation
* Leave comments on slide images
* Share image analyses & comments via built-in email

Disector 2.0 performs unbiased stereological analysis, estimating the volume, density, and total number of objects from images - without users having to manually count every single slide or every single object. The app is designed to improve the quality of any profession where quantifying images is of value.

"Anyone can use this app by importing images of slices (perhaps you cut them with a microtome) and a scale bar into your mobile photo album," stated Ian Sharp PhD of Motion Reboot. "From there, just open the Disector app. With the images imported and previewed, trace the contours of the slices with your fingertips and tap a few objects in their region of interest. This completes the process. You have traced the volume of your region and estimated the density and total number of objects."

Suggested Applications are for research, teaching, and analysis only:
* Radiology - stereological analysis of any number of 2D images
* Dermatology - measure mole surface area & perimeter to determine asymmetry
* General Surgery - stereological comparison of pre-op and post-op tissue metrics
* Drug R&D - measure physiological responses to drug therapies.
* Neuroscience - PhD and Post-Doctoral multi-electrode array stimulation associated with neuroanatomical changes
* Rehabilitation Robotics - analyze changes in the motor and premotor cortex after learned reaching tasks
* Analyze surgical performance - analyze the volume of what needed to be extracted, versus how much was extracted; i.e., how much healthy tissue was removed in relationship to unhealthy tissue.

Disector is not limited to biomedical images and measurements. Sampled images from metallurgy, geology, biology, and city planning may also be imported into the app.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 1.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
We believe so strongly in our app that for a limited time only, to celebrate our new release, Disector will be half off for the 1st week, $24.99 (Reg. $49.99 USD). Promo codes are available to the media. Disector 2.0 is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category. Review copies are available on request.

App Wrapper was made with Xojo (formally known as Real Software's Real Studio) and App Wrapper was used on itself, to generate a Retina compatible icon, validate and include the help, configure the about box, codesign the bundle and then to create the Zip compressed file.

System Requirements:
App Wrapper requires a Intel based Macintosh computer, running Mac OS X 10.6 or later. It is recommended to have at least 1 gb of RAM. Codesigning, Sandboxing and OS X Installers all require tools which are part of Apple's Xcode.

Popular Fuel Economy Calculator App Comes To iPad - Published on 08/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Corbenic Consulting Ltd today introduces Fuel Economy Calculator for iPad 1.0, the iPad version of their Fuel Economy Calculator app for iPhone. Based on the info entered into the App at fuel stops, it can also tell the driver how much they spend on fuel in an average month, how far they travel in an average month and the average price they pay for fuel. The iPhone version has been featured in the Sunday Times App List, scored a Grade A on a road test by Edmunds & featured by Money Supermarket.

Bristol, United Kingdom - A new personal finance app arrives on the iPad this week with the release of the iPad version of the Fuel Economy Calculator App. The App is the latest to come from the creators of Spending Log which reached the top 5 of all apps in the UK last September and has been a feature of the UK Finance Chart for over 2 years.

"Extremely accurate":
The 'Fuel Economy Calculator' App doesn't stop at Fuel Economy. Based on the info entered into the App at fuel stops it can also tell the driver how much they spend on fuel in an average month, how far they travel in an average month and the average price they pay for fuel. And there's more, as Mic Wright of The Sunday Times in the UK says in his review, "You can keep track of multiple vehicles on this and it includes a 'journey cost calculator'. Another standout feature is that it will calculate fuel economy in mpg and gives you the option of imperial measurements. The app works by using figures from your car's odometer and is extremely accurate."

Transfer Data Between iPhone and iPad:
Users can log their fuel stops whilst out and about by using the iPhone Fuel Economy Calculator App on their iPhone. Fuel stop data can then be sent up to the cloud from where it can be retrieved by the new iPad App where further analysis can be made.

Specifically for iPad:
Unlike apps that run on both iPhone and iPad with a layout that isn't quite right for either, Fuel Economy Calculator for iPad is exactly that, specifically created with the iPad in mind. This means that unlike the other poorer car apps the layout on the iPad is not the same as on the iPhone, meaning users needn't laboriously page through multiple screens as though they were just using a stretched out iPhone App ; The layout is concise, using the iPad as it was meant to be used.

The Journalists Recommendation:
Fuel Economy Calculator has been featured in the Sunday Times App List, scored a Grade A on a road test by Edmunds and has been featured by Money Supermarket.

Device Requirements:
* iPad only
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 23 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Fuel Economy Calculator for iPad 1.0 is only $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available now worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category.

Balanced is a to-do list for your body and soul - Published on 08/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Struggling to make time for what you really love doing? Indie developer Jaidev Soin today is proud to announce Balanced 1.0 for iOS. Balanced is a new to-do list designed to help you do more of the things that bring true joy and satisfaction to your life. Balanced is only for the things you love, with no room for chores or tasks. This allows the app to cleverly sidestep the resentment of our to-do lists. Balanced strives to make sure you always look forward to the activities on your list.

Melbourne, Australia - Struggling to make time for what you really love doing? Indie developer Jaidev Soin today is proud to announce Balanced 1.0 for iOS. Balanced is a new to-do list designed to help you do more of the things that bring true joy and satisfaction to your life. Whether it's catching up with friends, meditating, or discovering new music, Balanced aims to keep you motivated and mindful using a low-guilt, high-positivity approach that was refined over months of user trials.

On average we spend almost 20 hours a week watching TV, and those of us with smartphones are checking Facebook 14 times a day. Balanced was built to help you escape such distractions and get the most out of life.

"Sometimes we lose sight of what's important to us. We get distracted, and we forget about the little things we find special," said Jaidev Soin, the creator of Balanced. "I want people never to forget what's special to them. For each of us, what we find special is unique, and it's part of what defines our identity. Balanced helps you remember what those special things are, and motivates you to keep doing them."

Balanced is only for the things you love, with no room for chores or tasks. This allows the app to cleverly sidestep the resentment of our to-do lists. By combining a purely positive list with rewarding animations and regular praise, Balanced strives to make sure you always look forward to the activities on your list.

You will also experience this positive approach with reminders. Instead of telling you what to do, most reminders are in the form of questions, such as "Have you rewarded yourself today?". At the start of the day, Balanced will suggest things you might want to do soon. In the evening, the app will let you know if there is something you have been doing particularly well, allowing you to finish the day on a high note.

Simply having a list of things you love in your pocket can be motivating, but Balanced provides so much more. Your list intelligently orders itself so that what's most important is always at the top. Using intuitive 'balance bars', it also shows you when you last did each activity, and gives you helpful 'do soon' and 'do now' indicators for when it's time again to do something awesome for your life. When combined with the daily reminders, Balanced has all your mindfulness needs fully covered.

More than just a to-do list, Balanced is a supportive companion that helps you stay motivated on the path to happiness. To quote one of our users: "Using Balanced is like having a little person in my phone that acknowledges what I'm doing - a little record, witnessing and encouraging. It adds a sense of achievement to the things I love, and improves my life in a subtle but substantial way."

Balanced is now available through the App Store.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S and iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd, 4th and 5th gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 2.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Balanced 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power APP AG has recently launched a new version of mobile application focused on bringing professional photo editing to the masses on iOS. Wrap Camera was designed to be a new way for people with little or no photo editing experience to create visually-enhanced photos with little effort. Wrap Camera is the first application to be heavily focused on bringing 3D and 2D templates to the mobile space. Wrap Camera can also import and export images into the device's photo album.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Power APP AG has recently launched a new version of mobile application focused on bringing professional photo editing to the masses on iOS. Wrap Camera was designed to be a new way for people with little or no photo editing experience to create visually-enhanced photos with little effort. The app, currently available on Apple's App Store, is priced at $0.99 and can be downloaded in multiple countries around the world.

"Wrap Camera is a new editing experience for those who just want to create great photos within seconds - it doesn't strip back to the basics, it just redefines the complexity of advanced effects" said a representative from Applans, professional mobile app marketing agency.

Wrap Camera allows users to import images or take one directly from the application. Wrap Camera can also import and export images into the device's photo album.

Wrap Camera is a new, friendly photo editor for the 21st century - combining ease of use with advanced FX features. Wrap Camera is currently available on iOS devices. Wrap Camera supports iOS 4.3 or later on iPod touch and iPhone.

"Photo editing has always been achieved professionally by people with a niche skill set - we've completely changed this with Wrap Camera.

Modebiz Releases Updated Version of Pendulum Painting App - Published on 08/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Modebiz.com today announces the updated version of the Pendulum Painting 1.1 is now available. The app that's popular for its elegant path tracing movement. Update included the Foucault pendulum's USP, which is the elegant, smooth path it traces while creating stunningly beautiful geometric patterns & images. The Pendulum Painting app simulates a live pendulum device with an inking pendant. This app unfurls beautiful, creative patterns with its simple, elegant movements.

Guangzhou City, China - Foucault pendulums, a popular display item in science museums and universities, is now available in an app form from Modebiz.com, an app developer that specializes in web rich interactive applications. Released recently as an update of the already-popular and actively downloaded Pendulum Painting app, the Foucault pendulum's USP is the elegant, smooth path it traces while creating stunningly beautiful geometric patterns and images. It also has improved fading effects.

"The path in this app is always crossing the center of the plane, because it's caused by the Earth's rotation. This is what makes Pendulum Painting's designs unique, enchanting and elegant. It is different from similar patterns created by a human driven pendulum," says the technical spokesperson at Modebiz.com, when quizzed about the special features of the app.

The Foucault pendulum stands out from the others because of this very reason, according to the app developer. In a real Foucault pendulum, the swing is observed to rotate 360 degrees clockwise in about 32 hours. In the app, the swing rate gets accelerated several times so users need not wait for long hours to observe and draw.

Modebiz believes that the app is going to be liked by the youth and other app lovers with a creative bend of mind because the patterns it creates can be truly mind-blowing.

The Pendulum Painting app simulates a live pendulum device with an inking pendant. The pendant's movements can be tracked and marked that allow the users to capture the naturally created beautiful patterns on canvas. Users can actually witness the entire process of how this app unfurls beautiful, creative patterns with its simple, elegant movements.

Users can easily fine tune the length of the rope, the speed of rotation of the pendulum, and the release level of the pendant to create interesting designs. There are convenient 'stop' and 'clear' buttons provided to control the timing effortlessly and to create multiple patterns.

When an interesting and attractive pattern is achieved, users simply have to tap the stop button on the app, drag the pendant to a new position or change the length of the rope, and then release it to start a new round on the existing pattern.

Tapping the clear button will clear the canvas, according to the developers, but the inking of the next movement will continue uninterrupted.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 1.2 MB

Pricing and Availability
Pendulum Painting Version 1.1 is priced at $1.99 and available worldwide exclusively through iTunes in the Lifestyle category in English, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese languages.

New Game MindTilt Challenges Sense of Perspective with Fun Puzzles - Published on 08/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MadRuse Games today is proud to announce MindTilt 1.01 for iOS. MindTilt features easy-to-play, but hard to master puzzles. With over 75+ levels from easy to difficult, MindTilt will provide hours of mind-bending fun. MindTilt's interface has been designed with a minimalist feel that is easy to pick up and learn. Levels are laid out in a 3D cube where players rotate the level to move a green block into a red block to complete the level. Levels start off easy and ramp up in difficultly.

Cupertino, California - There are games that are challenging and then there are games that are ridiculously difficult. New puzzle game MindTilt, from Utah based independent studio MadRuse Games, finds a balance between fun, challenging, and difficult.

"We wanted to create a fun, but challenging puzzle game that a casual gamer could pickup and play for a few minutes at a time," commented Dustin Andrew, Lead Developer for MadRuse Games. "With MindTilt, we wanted to mimic classic brainteaser puzzles. Like a Rubik's Cube or a wooden puzzle that you can hold in your hand and rotate to solve."

MindTilt's interface has been designed with a minimalist feel that is easy to pick up and learn. Levels are laid out in a 3D cube where players rotate the level to move a green block into a red block to complete the level. Obstacles like switches, black holes, lasers, mirrors, holograms, and portals will stand in your way of solving each puzzle. Levels start off easy and ramp up in difficultly with each introduction of new obstacles.

"The hard part for us in making MindTilt, was designing levels that are hard, but not impossible to complete and yet maintain a fun factor," further added Dustin Andrew. "We always try to design our games around a game mechanic. And with MindTilt, it's easy to play, but challenging to visualize several moves ahead. Players are going to have to think about perspective differently."

"The best games are always simple, easy to play, and highly addictive. MindTilt delivers on all these levels and we hope it will become one of those timeless games your grandkids will still be playing in 20 years," commented James Jensen, Creative Director for MadRuse Games.

MindTilt is available now in the iOS App Store and Google Play.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S and iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd, 4th and 5th gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later

* 22.9 MB

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-winning developer, Coppertino today announces VOX 1.0 for Mac OS X, a popular audio player is now available for free on the Mac App Store. Backed with a new user interface and powerful BASS engine, VOX 1.0 is a robust audio player that delivers high-quality sound within a minimalistic and intuitive design framework. VOX can handle all popular lossless and lossy formats, including FLAC, MP3, AAC, Musepack, Monkey's Audio, OGG Vorbis, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV, IT, MOD, XM and others.

Los Angeles, California - Mac fans obviously know a good thing when they see it, so when the VOX audio player, with its sleek minimalist design and gorgeous sound output, was originally introduced, millions adopted it as their primary audio player. However, because VOX was originally developed as a personal side project, it never reached its full potential.

Today, Coppertino, an award-winning developer of OS X software, announced that VOX 1.0 is now available for free for OS X 10.7 and higher on the Mac App Store. Fresh off a beta session in which the Mac community helped shape the final version, the VOX 1.0 OS X audio player app can handle all popular Lossless and Lossy formats, including FLAC, MP3, AAC, Musepack, Monkey's Audio, OGG Vorbis, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV, IT, MOD, XM and others.

The first in-app purchase, available for $0.99 for a limited time, will allow users to be able to listen to more than 3,000 radio stations around the world. Many additional in-app features are planned for the near future, including LastFM Streaming, SoundCloud, Spotify and Rdio integration.

Backed with a new user interface and powerful BASS engine, VOX 1.0 is a robust audio player for OS X devices that delivers high-quality sound within a minimalistic and intuitive design framework.

A free audio player, VOX 1.0 includes a wide range of updated features and customization options:
* Easy iTunes integration - VOX 1.0 reads your library as a music source but does not otherwise affect it
* Last FM Scrobbling keeps your musical tastes up to date
* Automatic cover art lookup via MusicBrainz and LastFM database
* VOX 1.0 supports a variety of playlists like M3U, PLS, XSPF and CUE - the popular format used for storing CD rips - CUE
* Allows quick access to your audio devices, including AirPlay (10.8 )
* Designed to play via NAS, the open-source model for playing, recording, and manipulating audio data over a network
* VOX 1.0 supports literally any source your Mac can access. Add music from external HDDs, network drives and VPN-connected storages
* Built-in equalizer with a variety of presets and adjustments
* Transforms ordinary stereo source into 7.1 or 5.1 channel output
* Bauer Stereo provides more realistic sound when listening to stereo music through headphones
* Cool enhancements and audiophile features such as crossfade, fade on play/pause, resume playback, and more
* Your music automatically pauses when your headphones are disconnected
* Handy controls available from OS X main menu and VOX Dock icon
* Full OS X gesture support including altering playlist height, switching music sources or adjusting volume

"As an OS X developer, we are big fans of streamlined applications that provide tremendous value and functionality, yet doesn't take a significant commitment on the user's part to at least try it," said Ivan Ablamsky, Founder of Coppertino. "We are confident that once Mac fans try the new VOX 1.0, it will quickly become their default audio player."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later
* 11.4 MB
