Jetpack Jungle Jones 1.0 Free for iOS-Jump, Shoot, Fly in New Platformer - Published on 08/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

App Diner today introduces Jetpack Jungle Jones 1.0 free for iOS, its horizontal scrolling platformer, where players control Jones, an Indiana Jones-style character, as he jumps, shoots, and flies through the dense foliage of the jungle. The game features detailed graphics, realistic sounds, undulating, multilevel platforms, five different power-ups, Game Center integration, upgrades, and single player gaming or multi-player competition via automatic Nextpeer matching and Facebook invitations.

Boston, Massachusetts - App Diner today introduces Jetpack Jungle Jones 1.0 free for iOS, its horizontal scrolling platformer, where players control Jones, an Indiana Jones-style character, as he jumps, shoots, and flies through the dense foliage of the jungle. The game features detailed graphics, realistic sounds, undulating, multilevel platforms, five different power-ups, Game Center integration, upgrades, and single player gaming or multi-player competition via automatic Nextpeer matching and Facebook invitations.

Feature Highlights:
*Unique enemies to encounter and defeat
*Collect coins and find jewels
*Fully stocked shops with even more coins and power-ups
*Beautiful graphics and sounds
*Fast and fun gameplay - Non-stop action
*Works with Game Center or Nextpeer
*Find your new high score

An especially challenging platformer, Jetpack Jungle Jones tests users' hand/eye coordination, reflexes, and split-second decision-making. Unlike other games of this genre, it has only one thumb control, which fires his weapon, and players can tap once to shoot once, but must tap repeatedly to achieve rapid fire. Touching any part of the screen activates his jetpack (flames are visible), and touching and holding keeps the jetpack's thrusters firing. Without any power-ups, Jungle Jones can only fly for two or three seconds at a time, and returning to earth recharges the jetpack for another burst. The fuel can power-up, allowing extended flying times, appears in the game as a floating object, which Jones grabs to activate.

The limited time of each flight adds to the game's difficulty, as players must correctly judge if they have enough fuel to reach a high platform or cross a wide river. Jones runs automatically except when he fires his weapon. In addition to points and bullets, players can collect gold coins and jewels, which can be redeemed for power-ups, including:

* Magnet - gold coins will stick to Jones
* Bumper - Jones will be able to jump higher
* Jetpack Fuel - Jones will be able to fly for a while
* Magic Hat - run through obstacles with no harm
* Laser Gun - get rid of enemies with a powerful laser gun

"Jetpack Jungle Jones is a fast-paced game, requiring players to jump onto platforms to avoid enemies," said Kelley Hyatt of App Diner. "The main character is an Indiana Jones-type figure, but added to his repertoire is access to a jetpack. Players run, fly, and jump as they navigate through the jungle, and they can shoot to avoid lethal enemies."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 36.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Jetpack Jungle Jones 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Gold coins are available as an in-app purchase from $0.99 (USD).

JunkIt 1.0 Mail.app Add-On Released - Published on 08/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Todd's Apps today introduces JunkIt 1.0, their new Mail.app add-on for Mac OS X. JunkIt offers anyone an easy-to-use method for preventing unwanted emails from piling up in their inboxes. One of its unique features is "reverse highlighting" that helps users focus on their most important emails. JunkIt also comes with some other options, such as junking one-liner emails, specifying a mailbox for clean emails, as well as options for tracking those people who are spamming the most.

Fresno, California - JunkIt 1.0 was just released as a Mail.app add-on for Mac users who want an easy-to-use method for preventing unwanted emails from piling up in their inboxes. If you have used the junk mail filter in Mail.app on the Mac, you know that even with the best training, you can still be left with hundreds of unwanted emails. What's worse? Spam-filtering programs often make it possible to do so much that the average user becomes overwhelmed with the process of setting up special boolean rules and filters.

JunkIt handles traditional spam by junking emails with obscene or adult content and those with forbidden senders or keywords specified by the user as junk mail. But what really sets JunkIt apart from other spam filter programs is its "reverse highlighting" feature. This takes some getting used to, but it works on the idea that when looking at a highlighted list our eyes actually focus on the unhighlighted lines rather than the highlighted ones. JunkIt thinks users should spend extra time on the emails somebody took the extra time to write. It does this by allowing users to specify Permitted Greeting Lines such as "Dear Bob," "Dear John Smith," "John," etc. Any email a user receives without one of these approved greeting lines has its background color turned yellow. Any with those approved greeting lines keeps its white background color. The result is that users can quickly see, at-a-glance, which emails are the most important for them to focus on: the unhighlighted ones.

How do users know if JunkIt is working? JunkIt works with Growl to provide notifications that pop up on the screen alerting users of how each email is processed. Users are told whether or not the email is being �kept� or �junked� along with the sender�s email as well as the reason the email is being kept or junked. During the initial phases of JunkIt, users can turn the Growl preference on to see if JunkIt is processing each email as they wish. After JunkIt starts filtering emails correctly, users can turn the Growl preference off to keep those notifications from popping up on their screen.

JunkIt also comes with some other options, such as junking one-liner emails, specifying a mailbox for clean emails, as well as options for tracking those people who are spamming the most. So users can customize the preferences to their desires. If you�re looking for another tool to help you handle the onslaught of email coming at you each day, JunkIt might be worth giving a try.

Pricing and Availability:
The demo version comes with all of the functionality of the full version but with reminders that pop up every once in awhile to remind users to purchase the full version. The full version of JunkIt is $18.95 (USD).

presenterCue Free on OS X-Pro App Displays Each Speaker's Remaining Time - Published on 08/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nominari today announces presenterCue for Mac OS X, its free app that lets the user input a list of speakers, then show them their remaining time on multiple displays as they speak. Designed as a server/client system, its digital timer and color-coded prompter outputs to large LCDs, downstage monitors, prompter displays, and switching systems, and the server can feed clients on a LAN, including iOS and OS X devices. presenterCue apps are functional, but networking requires a paid license.

Wehr, Germany - Nominari today is pleased to announce presenterCue, its free app for Mac OS X that lets users input the name of each scheduled speaker onto a control panel and display each speaker's remaining time during his or her presentation. Designed as a server/client system, its digital timer/clock and color-coded prompter outputs to large LCDs, downstage monitors, prompter displays, and switching systems, and the server app can also feed wireless clients via Bonjour, including iOS and OS X devices. Both server and client apps are free and fully operational, but a paid license is necessary to unlock the wireless networking feature.

Feature Highlights:
* Countdown for speakers, presenters, or shows
* Ideal for conferences, meetings, presentations, debates, and TV production
* Unlimited presets, each one with 2 possible warning times, cost per/hour, and speaking time
* 12 presets for text messages
* Color-coded visualization of the running time on the bottom of the screen
* Adding and subtracting time, while the countdown is running
* "TimeShift" for adjusting the running time against the real time ( +/- 25%)
* Flashing screen, when all time has elapsed
* Displays seconds and minutes running over the allotted time
* Displays "cost per minute" when the speaker goes into overtime
* Multiple synchronous displays over a network - even on the iPhone or iPad
* Monitor timing onstage, backstage, from the audience, or in the booth

Speaker Timers, in hardware and software, are invaluable for giving presenters live, continuous feedback on their remaining time. presenterCue is a simple but useful tool, which can be easily implemented by organizers, stage managers, technical directors, producers, and directors. Its simple interface allows fast setup, it is designed for use with a touchscreen, and it gives producers and crews the ability to run a conference, meeting, or presentation on schedule. Its great advantage is that it is a software-only solution that is compatible with wireless iOS and OS X devices.

Jens Lampe of Nominari explains, "The presenterCue server is where the magic happens. Save text messages, control the countdown time, and setup some presets - you're done. The dark user interface protects your eyes in the booth, its buttons and displays are clearly laid out, and the main functions can be controlled with a touch screen. All clients will connect automatically, if networking is turned on. With three different client versions, nearly every setup is possible. Place an iPad on the lectern, keep an iPhone for your own use, and connect a MacMini to a confidence monitor on stage, or run the Mac Client locally to connect a second display. All wireless clients connect automatically via Bonjour to the server - no setup needed."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.8 or later
* 64-bit processor

With this new addition, Indigo now has built-in support for three of the most popular home automation protocols: Z-Wave, INSTEON, and X10.

"I know the INSTEON world has had this for a long time, but being able to poll devices and know what state they are, along with the incredibly reliable communications, is such a steep improvement from the X10 world where most devices can only receive commands. Z-Wave is brilliant for that and it's thanks to Indigo that we can now leverage it," said Indigo customer Nic Barnes from England.

"Indigo's Z-Wave support enables Mac users, especially international users in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, to finally realize the benefits of an advanced home automation solution," said Jay Martin, a partner at Perceptive Automation. "While X10, along with similar technologies, have provided automation solutions to our international customers, none of those protocols were as capable and reliable as Z-Wave. The additional benefit is that Z-Wave devices are available from a variety of vendors which allows for many device styles and capabilities."

Indigo can seamlessly integrate devices of any supported protocol together in a technology independent way, and can do so simultaneously. Z-Wave and INSTEON, along with X10 and 3rd party plugin-based devices, coexist harmoniously in a single environment. Users are free to pick and choose the devices that solve their automation needs without regard to protocol. For instance, a user can use an IP-based thermostat, Z-Wave, INSTEON, and Philips Hue lights, and INSTEON or X10 keypads, motion sensors, and sprinklers - in a single easy-to-use interface.

Other new features include expanded INSTEON support for many new and updated INSTEON devices including the Leak Sensor, Smoke Bridge, and DIN Rail modules. A new Virtual Device interface makes it easier for users to integrate other devices and services and to create cross-technology scenes. New energy monitoring capabilities, for both whole house and for individual lights and appliances, have been added since energy monitoring and reporting has become a key aspect to home automation systems.

Another area of focus in this release is improved usability. Users will now find a more unified experience with more context sensitive help. Indigo now includes more device specific in-application help links to online documentation, which includes device information, usage tips, and a community forum section where users can discuss their experiences with a specific device. Additional context sensitive menus have been added, including a detailed dependency report and object shortcut references for simplifying writing Indigo scripts.

Server security has been improved with the addition of a visual password strength indicator, which shows how well the entered password is constructed. Also, more prominent warning dialogs have been added to alert the user if they configure the server in an insecure way, encouraging them to fully enable secure authentication. Reliability and performance improvements have also been made to the installer, Prism reflector service, and plugin sandbox architecture.

Indigo continues to foster a thriving 3rd party ecosystem, with 40 plugins available spanning diverse categories such as Alarm integration, A/V components, presence and location tracking, weather data integration, advanced events and notification, alongside a wide variety of IP-based devices and other home automation technology support. The plugin API has been enhanced to support several new types of hardware as well as to more directly integrate plugin devices, events, and actions into the user experience. This usability enhancement means users will now find plugin functionality in the UI directly alongside built-in functionality.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers a Mac-based home automation solution that supports many common Z-Wave devices," said Matt Bendiksen, founder of Perceptive Automation. "Indigo's support of Z-Wave and INSTEON devices, along with the availability of dozens of powerful and robust 3rd party plugins tightly integrated into Indigo, make it a professional quality solution for both home automation do-it-yourselfers and commercial integrators worldwide."

Pricing and Availability:
Indigo 6 Pro is available now for $199.95 and Indigo 6 Lite for $99.95 (USD), both through the Perceptive Automation website. Owners of some previous versions of Indigo can get an upgrade discount to Indigo 6. Also available online is a 30 day trial copy of Indigo 6 Pro. Indigo runs on Mac OS X 10.5 or greater.

Apprope Creates Challenge of Perception with Find It! - Published on 08/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Apprope today introduces Find It! 1.0.2, its new photo challenge game for iOS and Android devices. Find It! puts together two photographs, and players have to find the sole object or detail the images have in common. Players spell out their answers simply by tapping on the given word bank. The game contains hundreds of questions, and with three different categories, the game is accessible to kids through with easy levels as well as challenging for adults with the hard levels.

Stockholm, Sweden - For fans of "I Spy" games, Apprope is presenting a challenge that is all about having a keen eye. In a way, "Find It!" is a whole new take on the old game of "find the differences between these two pictures." Instead, players are called to spot the one similarity between two photos. More specifically, they must spot a similar object shared by the photos. Players spell out their answers simply by tapping on the given word bank.

"Find It!" contains hundreds of questions for hours of gameplay. Three different categories make the game accessible to kids through the easy level and challenging for adults with the hard levels.

For when players get stumped, the game offers three different "hint" opportunities. The magnifying glass icon reveals letters in the answer. The bomb icon removes some of the word bank letters that aren't being used. Finally, the key icon reveals the word completely, for the extreme cases where players get stumped. Every time an answer is correct, players earn more hint opportunities. These helpful tools can also be purchased in the game.

Supported Languages:
* English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 31.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Find It! 1.0.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Find It! is also available on Google Play.

touchbyte releases PhotoSync 2.0 for iPhone/iPad with 50+ new features - Published on 08/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

touchbyte today released PhotoSync 2.0, the first major upgrade to the most versatile and powerful app to transfer, backup and share photos & videos over the air. PhotoSync 2.0 introduces a redesigned user interface, SugarSync support and batch-downloading of photos & videos from cloud services and NAS. The update also includes the ability to import from "Wi-Fi SD Cards", as well as location based Auto Transfer to backup new photos & videos to a predefined location in the background.

Hamburg, Germany - Introduced in February 2011, PhotoSync is a long-time favorite amongst iPhone/iPad users to move their photos & videos wirelessly between devices, transfer from/to computer (Windows and Mac), as well as upload to a variety of cloud & photo services and NAS. PhotoSync 2.0 now makes the application truly bi-directional and adds batch-downloading & viewing photos/videos stored on Dropbox, Google /Picasa, Facebook, Flickr, SmugMug, SugarSync, Zenfolio, Box, (S)FTP & WebDAV. Photos & videos from these services can be directly imported into the "Camera Roll" or user-defined albums.

The "Auto Transfer" feature offers a convenient way to automatically backup new photos & videos to any target supported by PhotoSync. Built on geofencing the user can define locations, where the Auto Transfer should take place. "Auto Transfer is a great way to backup your photos & videos automatically to your private cloud or NAS, whenever you arrive home. It combines great comfort with maximum security" says Helmut Schottmueller, CEO of touchbyte.

PhotoSync 2.0 also adds support for the "Wireless SD-Cards" Toshiba FlashAir(tm) and Transcend Wi-Fi SD. These cards add wireless transfer functionality to any camera. PhotoSync 2.0 includes importing all, selected or new photos & videos from these cards. RAW photos are also fully supported.

Over 50 other features like receiving in the background, multiple (S)FTP & WebDAV configurations, support for captions, direct import into iPhoto albums & Aperture projects, and a detailed list view for the Photo Library make PhotoSync 2.0 the most powerful photo & video transfer tool yet.

Accompanying the release of PhotoSync 2.0 touchbyte has also developed new versions of the free PhotoSync Companion for Windows PC & Mac available for download at the website.

PhotoSync 2.0 for iPhone/iPad is available for $1.99 on the Apple AppStore and has no hidden costs. "We put ourselves in the shoes of a user and we just wouldn't want ads or In-App-Purchases. You buy PhotoSync once and can install it on all your devices using the same Apple-ID" states Hendrik Holtmann, CEO of touchbyte.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 26.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PhotoSync 2.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.
