Peer-to-Peer Dating App is Safe, Easy Alternative to Other Matchmakers - Published on 09/09/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Indie developers Taisia Antonova and Eugenia Kuyda today are proud to announce Closer 1.2, a new peer-to-peer dating app, aims to put an end to dead-end dates by allowing friends to play matchmakers and meet new people. While some apps focus strictly on "hooking up," Closer gives users the opportunity to find meaningful relationships through those who know them best - their friends. Users connect their Closer profile to their Facebook account and can easily introduce friends to one another.
Based in New York - Indie developers Taisia Antonova and Eugenia Kuyda today are proud to announce Closer 1.2, a new peer-to-peer dating app, aims to put an end to dead-end dates by allowing friends to play matchmakers and meet new people. While some apps focus strictly on "hooking up," Closer gives users the opportunity to find meaningful relationships through those who know them best - their friends. Users connect their Closer profile to their Facebook account and can easily introduce friends to one another or ask friends to set them up.
The beautiful design of the app allows users to set up friends based on real experiences they've had with each person. Instead of relying on database algorithms, people know their friends' sense of humor, personality and myriad of other traits that could never be captured by keywords. Closer humanizes the matchmaking process by allowing the user's closest friends to help them find a match. With Closer, users already know at least one person who can vouch for the character of the person they're connecting with - something that greatly reduces the risks involved with meeting a total stranger.
"It's not about a huge database of single people," Taisia Antonova, co-founder of Closer said. "Closer is a matchmaking experience where friends set up people who they think will like each other and see if they were right. It's incredibly rewarding for someone to know they helped two friends. We provide the matchmaker with the updates on how their matches are doing, whether they made friends on Facebook or were tagged in a photo together."
"Closer is all about getting close," Eugenia Kuyda, co-founder of Closer added. "It's not only about meeting new people, but also those who you met before at parties but maybe didn't make friends. We don't want Closer to become a tool that would substitute the real world's communicational experience. We want people to find out if they are liked and give them a push to get closer in real life. We eliminate the hinders that make the first step by letting someone know that he or she is liked. And if not, they will never find it out."

Tell, But Don't Show All, With PhotoPresenter for iOS by Boinx Software - Published on 09/09/13
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A brand new iOS app from Boinx Software, PhotoPresenter is perfect for the ad hoc show-and-tell session. Users need only to hook an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to an HDTV set or a projector with HDMI or VGA, or via AirPlay. They then browse the device's photo library to find the media they want to display and click on the image or video to display it on the second screen. Regardless of whether it's used for professional or personal reasons, it's a great app many will find useful.
Munich, Germany - With hundreds of photos and videos saved in your iPhone or iPad's media library, it's likely that, when showing these images to a specific group, there are many files you'd like to keep out of the presentation. Enter PhotoPresenter for iOS from Boinx Software. A brand new iOS app from the creative developer, PhotoPresenter is perfect for the ad hoc show-and-tell session.
Users need only to hook an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to an HDTV set or a projector with HDMI or VGA, or via AirPlay. They then browse the device's photo library to find the media they want to display and click on the image or video to display it on the second screen. The audience sees only the image or video selected - nothing else - keeping the presenter's personal media personal. Presenters can jump freely between media files, allowing them to show images on the fly without being restricted to any particular order. Have multiple images of the same subject matter and want to select the best one? There's a preview mode for that.
"Bastian, our video guru, recently hosted a Boinx workshop. During his presentation, he decided to put together a slideshow that showcased people using Boinx's iStopMotion. All of the media was located on his smartphone, so this should have been a breeze," recalls Oliver Breidenbach, CEO and co-founder of Boinx Software. "However, every app he tried pulled in personal photos and videos that he did not want to share with the group. After a bit of research, we found that no app allowed you to create a slideshow on the fly and control the media that is presented, and the idea for PhotoPresenter was born."
PhotoPresenter for iOS is an app that can be used in many different scenarios. Regardless of whether it's used for professional or personal reasons, it's a great app many will find useful. Some hypothetical situations include:
* You recently went on a great holiday with your closest friends, and your grandparents would like to see some of the photos you took of the beautiful location. There were certainly some photos you'd prefer they didn't see.
* You are showing your portfolio to a client or potential employer. You'll need to choose specific photos and/or videos for them to view, and want to put your very best work on display.
* Imagine working with your team on creative concepts. An enthusiastic discussion keeps you jumping back and forth from one media file to the other; not being limited to a specific slideshow order is an invaluable creative tool that helps keep the discussion and ideas flowing.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 1.7 MB
Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time only, PhotoPresenter for iOS 1.0 is offered at the special pricing of $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Promotional pricing ends September 15, 2013, when the app will return to its regular retail price of $1.99 USD.
