IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Managing employee time and attendance is faster and easier with the new Virtual TimeClock software release available today from Redcort Software Inc. Virtual TimeClock '13 Release 2 saves busy employers time and money with enhanced overtime, importing and overnight shift handling features. Users can easily manage their worker time and attendance. Over a dozen new reporting enhancements provide powerful new ways to easily summarize worker activities, hours and overtime.

Fresno, California - Managing employee time and attendance is faster and easier with the new Virtual TimeClock software release available today from Redcort Software Inc. Virtual TimeClock '13 Release 2 saves busy employers time and money with enhanced overtime, importing and overnight shift handling features. Over a dozen new reporting enhancements provide powerful new ways to easily summarize worker activities, hours and overtime.

"Virtual TimeClock makes it super easy for employers to track the complicated sixth and seventh day employee overtime rules required by states like California," explained Keith DeLong, the founder and CEO of Redcort Software Inc. "As things like overtime and employer reporting needs become more complex, Virtual TimeClock continues to grow as a time saving and economical tool."

"The new additions to Virtual TimeClock's import functionality will drastically reduce the amount of setup time we spend each year," enthused Jason Johnston, Manager of District Assessment Systems for Leander Independent School District in Leander, Texas. "For our 34 sites, we create about 30,000 user accounts per year. Previously, we spent 3-4 days populating our display groups. The new enhancements will allow us to complete the same job in just a few minutes. Virtual TimeClock is now faster and more functional. Great enhancements to a great product!"

Also included in Virtual TimeClock '13 Release 2 is a new timecard report that neatly summarizes a worker's daily time and activities on a single line. A new option to include workers without hours helps employers needing to track inactive employees. Report layouts have improved readability, while new options for overnight shift reporting enable employers to accurately report time as required by their particular state. In total, over a dozen reporting enhancements give Virtual TimeClock users new tools to easily manage their worker time and attendance.

Namer - The Origin of Names released for iPhone and iPod touch - Published on 09/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lisbon based developer, Jorge O'Neill today announces Namer - The Origin of Names 2.0, a major update to his popular entertainment app developed for iOS devices. In the easiest and simplest way possible, 'Namer - The Origin of Names' allows the user to find, save and share the origin and meaning of personal names. Version 2.0 has been completely redesigned to take advantage of iOS7's new look and architecture, while still backward compatible with older systems.

Lisbon, Portugal - Jorge O'Neill today is pleased to announce the release of 'Namer - The Origin of Names' 2.0, an update to his popular entertainment app developed for iPhone and iPod touch (compatible with iPad). In one sentence, 'Namer - The Origin of Names' is an App that allows the user to find the origin and meaning of personal names, in the easiest and simplest way possible.

Several Apps where already available on the App Store, that showed a list of personal names and some sort of descriptions. However, most seemed to have a combination of blunt interfaces, sparse or inaccurate name descriptions, or tons of non-sense names just for bragging rights of the sheer number of names provided. This lack of good Apps available in its category was seen by the App development team as a great opportunity for the development of 'Namer - The Origin of Names'.

"I believe that this kind of 'single task' mobile App, has to do what it does in the quickest and simplest way possible, at the risk of loosing the user's attention and interest" says Jorge O'Neill, the Lead Developer in this project. "It should also be pleasant to use: it should be aesthetically appealing and provide full functionality without requiring from the user any additional learning than what is needed to operate the device where the App is installed".

With that in mind, 'Namer - The Origin of Names' was developed with the goal of making the simple tasks of finding, viewing, storing and sharing meaningful name descriptions, as simple and enjoyable as possible. The greatest relevance and dedication however was given to content. An accurate and meaningful name origin/meaning database was built by researching several different sources.

Version 2.0 released today further enhances the look and feel of the App, by providing a completely new interface design that takes advantage of iOS 7's new look and architecture, while still maintaining the backward compatibility with older systems

App Features:
* Sensible names and meaningful descriptions. Unlike other apps, we don't want to waste your time with nonsense
* For every name you'll have its meaning in a couple of words, and a more detailed text describing its origin
* Browse names by gender, using the convenient index feature
* Search by name
* Search by meaning
* Add to your own list of favorite names with no need to register, just by tapping the star next to the names you like
* Share names with your friends on Facebook (available only for iOS 6.0 and above), Twitter or by E-mail
* Completely redesigned to take advantage of iOS7 new look and architecture. Still backward compatible with older systems

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Namer - The Origin of Names 2.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and it's now available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

With Prizmo, you can skip any of these steps and go straight to the results, or instead dive into advanced editing if document requires it (brightness correction, readability improvement, multiple languages, OCR regions editing, text correction, etc.). Export options include PDF with searchable text, and allow sending to various cloud services, like Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive, Google Drive or Evernote. Prizmo also allows processing and editing business cards, and then exports them to your contacts.

"We want to raise the bar of document scanning on iOS devices, and hope our users will like it as much as we do. We worked really hard throughout the summer to make version 3.0 which was initially scheduled for next year, and we propose it as a free upgrade." says Raphael Sebbe, CEO.

* Voice Reader supports reading entire text documents (not just a single page)

Melesta Games shares game development experience - Published on 09/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Melesta Games today is proud to announce Tower defense game Toy Defense has been out for a year and is seeing 10 million downloads. Melesta Games is kindly willing to share some statistics data about the game. The game supports both iOS and Android devices, and it is available all over the world through the Apple App Store, Google Play App store and on Amazon App Store. Players can enjoy social versions of Toy Defense in the two major CIS social networks, and recently available on Facebook.

Seattle, Washington - Toy Defense, the classic tower defense game set in World War I developed by Melesta Games has been out for more than a year now. So far Toy Defense has seen more than 10 million downloads worldwide.

The game supports both iOS and Android devices, and it is available all over the world through the Apple App Store, Google Play App store and on Amazon App Store. Players can enjoy social versions of Toy Defense in the two major CIS social networks, and just recently it became available as a Facebook game for users all over the world.

Toy Defense came out a year ago and this is long enough to sum up the results and make some conclusions. Melesta Games is kindly willing to share them along with statistical data.

The success of Toy Defense is clearly shown by the fact that is was placed in the Top 10 on the Apple App Store charts in Games category in 69 countries. According to numbers of users with iOS devices, who get Toy Defense from the Apple App Store, the game is most popular in the USA (19%), China (17%) and Russia (14%). Users from the European Union are mainly from Germany (5%), France (4%) and the United Kingdom (4%). Players from Asian countries come from Thailand (3%) and South Korea (3%). In the rest of the countries where Toy Defense is available, the percentage of users is lower.

The data from Google Play App store doesn't differ much, just with 2 exceptions: in China, Toy Defense is unavailable through Google Play, and the share of South Korea is higher in Google Play than in Apple App Store.

For developers, it is not only the number of users which matters, but also profitability of the application. The revenue from Toy Defense comes from different sources: in-app purchases (87%), purchasing the game (10%), and advertising (3%). The overall percentage of purchases is shared between Apple App Store (77%), Google Play App Store (13%), Amazon App Store (2%), and social networks (8%). It is noticeable that the Google Play App store share in the total income is constantly growing.

The analysis of players' payments shows that users from Russia, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan mostly play Toy Defense on iOS devices and make all purchases via the Apple App Store. The situation is reversed in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Norway, New Zealand and Ireland, where gamers prefer Android devices and use Google Play Store for purchasing. Players' payments from Russia and the United States comprise 28% and 22% respectively of the total income. The share of user transactions from Germany is 6%, United Kingdom, China, France and Canada have 4% each, and Australia, Japan and South Korea - 2% per country.

Top ARPU rate in Apple App Store is in the following countries: Scandinavian region (Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden), UAE Kuwait, Kazakhstan and Russia, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Japan. ARPU in China is four times lower than average, but it doesn't reflect on the income from China, due to the total number of Chinese players. In Google Play Top ARPU is also formed by the same set of countries: Scandinavian region, Arabic countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, and South Korea.

Only 3% of total profits are provided by advertising. At first Tapjoy advertising gave good results, but over time the results deteriorated, so now Chartboost advertising is used. The likely cause of the low advertising revenue is a lack of developer attention paid to it, in the case of Toy Defense.

To sum up all the figures, several conclusions need to be drawn. Peak high popularity rate of Toy Defense in some countries is due to the game being set in World War I. The users from those countries that took part in the war show more interest in Toy Defense than in the countries untouched by war. It is interesting to note some of the cultural and economic characteristics, such as the fact that most downloads in South Korea are made from Google Play, perhaps because Samsung devices are the most widely used there. A similar situation is found in the USA, where Apple devices are popular, the majority of Toy Defense downloads are from the Apple App Store.

62% of the revenue comes from the tablet version of the game and 38% from smartphones. It is noted that the size of the screen of device is correlated with ARPU (the larger the screen, the higher the ARPU). The newness of device also affects ARPU (the newer is the device, the higher ARPU). From Melesta Games' point of view this indicates the need to focus on supporting the latest models, so gradually the support of Melesta Games products on older devices is being withdrawn.

According to observations, tablet users are more inclined to pay for the game in one way or another. This can be explained by the fact that the phone is a necessary thing, and a tablet can be considered status symbol. So tablet users often just have more resources that they are willing to spend playing.

Despite the fact that the rate of premium content revenue is relatively small, Melesta Games thinks that this model of distribution is not yet exhausted. Like the majority of developers and publishers, Melesta Games is moving to developing free-to-play apps, although premium versions will not be abandoned.

Melesta Games team hopes that this information, derived from its experience, will be useful for other game developers.
