Childhood Medical Journal for iOS-Keep Comprehensive Health Care Records - Published on 08/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3G Publishing today introduces Childhood Medical Journal 1.0 for iOS, which lets parents and caregivers keep comprehensive health care records for all their children. The app provides a simple, all-in-one solution for saving basic information, tracking illnesses and medications, maintaining records in 16 categories, and sharing information with health care professionals and schools. Based on guidelines published by the CDC, USDA, AAP, and AAFP, the app includes basic educational information.

New Berlin, Wisconsin - 3G Publishing today is pleased to introduce Childhood Medical Journal 1.0 for iOS, its new journaling app, which lets parents and caregivers keep comprehensive health care records for all their children. The app provides a simple, all-in-one solution for saving basic information, tracking illnesses and medications, maintaining records in 16 categories, and sharing information with health care professionals and schools. Based on guidelines published by the CDC, USDA, AAP, and AAFP, the app includes a wealth of basic educational information about the health care needs of children.

Feature Highlights:
* Track illnesses and medications of all your children
* Keep an accurate record of your child's growth, milestones, and any health issues
* Maintain a record of all doctor and dentist visits
* Includes informative charts regarding vaccinations, predicted growth, and diet
* Automatically syncs with all iDevices via iCloud
* Print out or email information to share info with health care professionals
* Includes authoritative information published by the Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Department of Agriculture, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians

Many parents keep a file or folder of paper health records for each of their children. By the time the child reaches five years of age, these folders are frequently filled with dozens of notifications, test results, vaccination certificates, doctor's reports, medical and dental records, prescription medicine lists, and miscellaneous information. Childhood Medical Journal replaces this unmanageable folder of vital health records with an app that keeps everything organized and at hand.

Parents begin using Childhood Medical Journal by entering the name, sex, and birthdate of the child in the Personal Information window. Each child can be assigned one of 256 different colors, and all their records are automatically color-coded. For archival purposes, parents can fill in the following text fields: time of birth, weight, length, head circumference, hair color, Apgar scores, place of birth, delivery doctor, complications (if any), mother's blood type, father's blood type, baby's blood type, home address at time of birth, and where birth was registered.

Separate sub-categories let parents compile all their Emergency Contacts, including relations and contact numbers, doctors, hospitals, dentists, emergency rooms, etc. The Identification Marks window lets caregivers indicate any identifying marks on anterior and posterior infant outlines, including date and size of mark. Lastly, the Hospital Notes sub-category allows parents to record special instructions when going home from the hospital.

Each child has their own Home Page, from which parents can enter, look up, or share information using 16 different color-coded buttons:
* Personal Information - personal info, emergency contacts, ID marks, hospital notes
* Notes & Questions - collected notes and questions
* Observation Tracker - food tracking log with feedings, activity chart with temperature
* Immunizations - vaccination records including date, time, and any reaction; vaccine chart with administration schedule from ages 0 to 18; 12 major vaccines with explanations
* Hospital Visits - log of hospital name, date, and reason for visit
* Specialist Consults - physician and contact, reason, date, and treatment
* Office Visits - routine exams (date, age, weight, length, head size, vitamins, questions to ask, instructions, next visit; clinical visits (date, illness, location, treatment)
* Prescriptions - date, physician, prescription, reason
* Allergies - date, allergen, reaction, recommendation
* Growth Charts - growth chart entries; infant predicted growth chart, baby predicted growth chart
* Milestones - milestone, guideline, age achieved
* Dentist Visits - date, what was done, what was reported; baby teeth growth chart
* Eye & Ear Exams - date, optometrist, what was reported, eye score; ear test date, tested by, what was reported
* Family History - medical history, description, relationship, genetic history
* Nutrition & Diet - recommend intake by food groups; recommend intake by nutrients
* Journal - miscellaneous entries by date

"To start off, every child is assigned a color reference so information is organized and growth charts allow for comparisons," said Cathleen Gasper of 3G Publishing. "Childhood Medical Journal for iOS is the one and only family medical organizer you will need no matter how many issues you have to tackle! It even allows you to keep a journal of memories and include photos along with a digital note pad for questions and answers. Lastly, all the information is kept secure and safe on your device and only you decide who to share it with."

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

Jolly Rummager 1.2 for OS X - Tribute to 1983 Arcade Game Digger - Published on 08/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Allwards Laboratory today announces Jolly Rummager 1.2 for OS X, an update to its arcade game that was designed as a tribute to the 1983 classic, Digger. The first high-quality resurrection of Digger in the past ten years, the game features full-screen, Retina display graphics, true cartoon animation, and stereo music and sound effects. Players four years of age or older use simple keyboard controls to guide the small green caterpillar, Jolly Rummager, as he digs free form mazes underground.

Riga, Latvia - Allwards Laboratory today is pleased to announce Jolly Rummager 1.2 for OS X, an update to its arcade game that was designed as a tribute to the 1983 classic, Digger. The first high-quality resurrection of Digger in the past ten years, the game features full-screen, Retina display graphics, true cartoon animation, and stereo music and sound effects. Players four years of age or older use simple keyboard controls to guide the small green caterpillar, Jolly Rummager, as he digs free form mazes underground, outsmarts the territorial purple Bukas, collects coins and gems, and finds delicious bonus fruits. This update adds ten new levels inspired by Pac the Man X, which are a bit more difficult than previous levels.

Feature Highlights:
* Different game scenes joined in episodes
* Start game from selected scene
* Hall of Fame for top ten scores
* Increasing play difficulty with each new game level
* Easy keyboard control
* Stereo sound in effects
* Support of high-resolution Retina displays
* Full screen mode
* Pause/Resume game
* Smart Bukas
* Accurate physics for game objects
* Smooth hole digging animation
* 3 episodes with 30 possible levels

According to Wikipedia, "Digger is a Canadian computer game released by Windmill Software in 1983 for the IBM PC. Many features of Digger are similar to those in the arcade games Mr. Do! and Dig Dug. As in those games, the player is placed in an underground maze, and can dig horizontal and vertical tunnels through it. At least one tunnel already exists at the start of play. At various points on the board are emeralds (usually in clusters) and bags of gold. Monsters (initially in the 'nobbin' form) appear at the top right-hand corner. If earth is excavated from under a gold bag, then the bag will wobble for a few seconds and then drop; if it falls more than one row, it will break open after falling, releasing gold which can be collected. Bags can also be pushed left or right into vertical paths, with similar results. Falling bags will squash monsters that they fall on, but they will also squash the digger. The digger also has a weapon, which will fire in a straight line, but takes
several seconds to recharge (taking longer as the levels go higher)."

Jolly Rummager improves on the original game with stones and bonus fruits added to the game objects and solid walls used in game scenes. Whenever the caterpillar's antennae go up, he has the ability to launch a fireball, which flies straight through the maze and destroys Bukas. Fireballs, fired with the space key, can also push a stone or pot of gold. Movement up, down, left, and right is achieved with the four arrow keys. In addition to bonus fruits that act as power-ups (apple, banana, grape, pineapple, strawberry, and watermelon), the game has a bonus mode, which is activated when the player eats the battery that appears when 80% of the Bukas are eliminated.

"If you are into classic arcade action, you won't be disappointed by Jolly Rummager," commented Oleg Uryutin of Allwards Laboratory. "The game has been carefully tuned to maximize the enjoyment of meeting every kind of challenge present in the original Digger concept."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Rummager 1.2 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request. An iOS version of the game is planned.

70% of parents say no to in-app purchases in apps for kids - Published on 08/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Do you think advertising to kids in apps without their parents' permission is okay? 70% of Parents agree if you said no! In a new consumer survey conducted by 100 Things, 70% of parents declared in-app purchases as inappropriate for small children. Parents expressed unequivocal dislike for being misled by apps advertised as 'free' when key parts of the game are only unlocked later by paying more money. Many apps are specifically designed for children to play without their parents sometimes.

Alleroed, Denmark - In a new consumer survey conducted by 100 Things, 70% of parents declared in-app purchases as inappropriate for small children. Parents expressed unequivocal dislike for being misled by apps advertised as 'free' when key parts of the game are only unlocked later by paying more money.

Many apps are specifically designed for children to play without their parents sometimes. In-app purchasing opportunities directly pressure young children when their parents aren't there to supervise. And, even when the parents are playing, constant demands for more money can spoil what would otherwise be a fun and educational family moment. As anyone who has watched commercial TV with children knows, they are highly susceptible to advertising.

100 Things, a developer of children's apps is leading the charge for change. 100 Things has removed all third party advertising and in-app purchasing from all of its picture book and matching game apps.

100 things has called upon other developers to do the right thing too. "Responsible developers need to charge upfront for children's apps. No one wants a six-year-old to inadvertently order expensive upgrades or be able to link to social media sites that may not be safe places for kids. Do young children really need to be exposed to more advertising? Let's help them enjoy our apps without unnecessary interruptions and temptations."

And the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has released findings that support this position. The second FTC report focused on this issue since 2011, 'Mobile Apps for Kids: Disclosures Still Not Making the Grade' found the following:

* 84% (56) of the apps reviewed that contained in-app purchasing were offered as "free"
* 58% of the apps reviewed contained advertising within the app, while only 15 percent disclosed the presence of advertising prior to download
* 22% of the apps contained links to social networking services, while only nine percent disclosed that fact
* 17% of the apps reviewed allow children to make purchases for virtual goods within the app, with prices ranging from 99 cents to $29.99. When information was available, indicators were not always prominent and, even if noticed, could be difficult for many parents to understand.

100 Things advocates that developers must go further than just addressing the FTC concerns about transparency. Being fair to families and ensuring the app experience is fun and enjoyable for all means eradicating in-app purchasing altogether. As the consumer study conducted by 100 Things demonstrates, the majority of parents would rather pay upfront for apps than have their young children exposed to inappropriate demands for more money while they are playing and learning.

100 Things creates Picture Books that contain stunning photographs, real sounds and amazing videos and Matching Games - all at affordable prices for families. The FTC report 'Mobile Apps for Kids. Disclosures Still Not Making the Grade' is available at 100 Things Apps. For more information about 100 Things, please visit 100 Things Apps online and follow us on Twitter @100Thingsapp.

Charlottesville, Virginia - With writing becoming more important to students' ultimate academic success and the indispensable iPad and iPhone promoting convenient learning, Essay Workstation 2.1 is perfect writing tool for students. Using the best that mobile technology offers along with the most comprehensive essay writing instructions ever written, Niles Technology apps teach critical writing skills while enhancing productivity like few apps can.

Teach Yourself How to Make Better Decisions Using Life Inventory Apps - Published on 08/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

James Hollender's Life Inventory apps help users teach themselves how to make better decisions in Life. 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, 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 - James Hollender's Life Inventory apps help users teach themselves how to make better decisions in Life. 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 by learning how to make better decisions. 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 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)
* iProteins (Proteins)
* iSatFat (Saturated Fat)
* iSodium (Sodium)
* iSugars (Sugars)
* Vitamin K (Vitamins K1, K1D & K2)
* iNutrients (encompasses all ten nutrients listed above)

Device Requirements:
* "Life Inventory" - iPhone and iPod touch
* "Life Inventory for iPad" - iPad only
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory and Life Inventory for iPad are each $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of each app is $1.99, which supplement the main app by providing a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation. Review copies are available on request.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hunter Research and Technology is pleased to announce it's latest client app project, the Nerf Mission App, developed in partnership with Hasbro, Inc. Based on Hunter's Theodolite Augmented Reality Navigation app, the Nerf Mission App works with the new Nerf N-Strike Elite Tactical Rail Mount Accessory and turns an N-Strike Elite blaster into a full battle cam with heads up display, compass, inclinometer, and rangefinder.

Williamsburg, Virginia - Hunter Research and Technology is pleased to announce it's latest client app project, the Nerf Mission App, developed in partnership with Hasbro, Inc. The Nerf Mission App works with the new Nerf N-Strike Elite Tactical Rail Mount Accessory and turns an N-Strike Elite blaster into a full battle cam with heads up display, compass, inclinometer, and rangefinder. The app lets users record photos and videos, track their arsenal, learn about hand signals used to communicate with a squad, and plan out different missions for multiplayer Nerf battles.

The Nerf Mission App is based on the Theodolite Augmented Reality Navigation app developed by Hunter Research and Technology. This game-changing app defined a new standard for augmented reality navigation when it debuted in 2009, and has been a #1 selling navigation app in iTunes stores around the world. Theodolite works as a heads up display with compass, GPS, map, zoom photo/movie camera, rangefinder, tracker, and two-axis inclinometer.

Uses are endless, and Theodolite is great for outdoor sports, hiking, boating, hunting, golf, sightseeing, photography, home projects, and navigation. The app has professional grade features for advanced measurement, observation, and data acquisition, and is used in the field on the job every day by military personnel, first responders, search and rescue workers, surveyors, geologists, architects, engineers, and competitive sportsmen around the world.

Theodolite lets users take geo-stamped camera images, screenshots, movies, and HUD-based screen movies directly from the app. The app includes features like a navigation calculator, map with live markers, team tracking, data logging, KML export, percent grade display, mil compass readout, optical rangefinders (including a mil-based reticle and sniper-style stadiametric graphs), and colored lens filters to improve use in dark conditions and preserve night vision. Theodolite supports over a dozen position formats, and offers an optional World Geodetic Datum Pack with over 220 geodetic datums covering regions and countries on all continents around the world.

"We're pleased to take Theodolite's powerful augmented reality technology in a fun and exciting new direction," said Dr. Craig Hunter, principal and lead developer at Hunter Research and Technology. "Theodolite has a strong customer base of professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and high-tech gadget nerds, and the Nerf Mission App brings a whole new group of more playful and younger users into the fold."

The Nerf Mission App is available for free from the iTunes App Store, and works with most iPhone and iPod touch devices running iOS 5.0 or later (iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, and 5 are supported, as well as 4th- and 5th-generation iPod touch). The Nerf N-Strike Elite Tactical Rail Mount Accessory is for ages 8 and up, and sold separately. See Nerf online for more information and a list of retailers.

Theodolite and Theodolite HD are available on the iTunes App Store for a 20%-off summer sale price of $3.99 USD. Theodolite runs on any camera-equipped iPhone or iPod touch.

Dream Boy releases pretty neato update to PipeWords - Published on 08/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Dream Boy Studios today announces PipeWords 2.0, an update to their fabulous and charmingly frantic word-based puzzle game for iOS. PipeWords is all about words and effective plumbing. The player must build a network of "pipewords", navigating a water flow from one point to another without allowing it to dead end. Version 2.0 introduces a new lite version, with twenty new levels. Total score for all the levels combined will now be uploaded to Game Center.

Los Angeles, California - Dream Boy Studios today is proud to announce the release of PipeWords 2.0, an update to their fabulous and charmingly frantic word-based puzzle game for iOS. PipeWords is all about words and effective plumbing. The update includes a lite version, twenty new levels, guaranteed to challenge even the bestest PipeWord players ever, post their scores and "Word of the Levels" to their friends in social media, and bacon. Ok, well, not bacon, but you can at least spell the word "bacon" in the game.

PipeWords is our offering to both the word and active-puzzle genres and hopes to fuse into one, the "wordy-puzzle"; in this game, the player must simultaneously juggle the logical planning of paths of water and the words one must spell to make it happen. The player must build a network of "pipewords", navigating a water flow from one point to another without allowing it to dead end.

These "pipewords" are spelt via a rack of letters powered the player's vocabulary; as simple as "YUM" or as insane as "YEASTINESS". Skilled players will go for the latter, as well as try to track down all the treasure (including hidden ones) in each level. Wrinkles include mazes, locked doors, ticking timebombs, and more. PipeWords is playable both the young, the casual, and the hardcore puzzle and/or word game fan. The game currently features 60 levels with more to be added soon!

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

Pricing and Availability:
PipeWords 2.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. There is a free Lite version available.
