Zoom It 1.2 for OS X - On-Screen Magnifying Loupe Gets Performance Boost - Published on 09/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Appetit today announces Zoom It 1.2, an upgraded version of the virtual magnifying glass app for OS X. Zoom It provides an on-screen loupe that's always available but never in the way. The new release provides a major performance boost, an easily-identifiable black and white icon on the task bar, retina display support, a loupe-size indicator in the drop-down menu, and the ability to hide the loupe when saving a screenshot, in addition to some minor bug fixes.

Zoom It's users include artists, engineers, designers, presenters, photographers, project collaborators and people who rely on corrective lenses. The app's handy loupe can still magnify any area of the user's screen from 5 to 45%, making it far superior to the screen zoom that is built into OS X.

Release Highlights:
* Fixed performance issue.
* Fixed keyboard shortcut issues in mountain lion (10.8)
* Has an easily identifiable B&W icon on the task bar
* Provides loupe size indicator on its drop-down menu

* Customize keyboard shortcuts for all Zoom It functions
* Control when the loupe appears and disappears with simple keyboard shortcuts
* Click, type, and select inside the magnified area
* Round or rectangular loupe options
* Grab screenshots from your loupe

Appetit co-owners Joel Kraus and Moshe Samet agreed that it was important for this new release to include the most popular user-requested features. "We pay close attention to user-generated reviews, and do our best to respond with appropriate version updates. After all, we're Zoom It users too; we look forward to enhanced functionality as much as anyone," said Kraus.

R-ROUND for iPad-Defeat Enemies in Time with Music in Beat Matching Game - Published on 09/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yijie Studio today introduces R-ROUND 1.0 for iPad, its casual arcade game, where players must swivel a circular platform so that the hero, fixed on the edge, hits oncoming enemies in time with the music. It has some of the most foot-tapping, jingly pop tunes in gaming. Players earn combo points based on the number of consecutive hits without misses and how close the initial contact is to the beat of the music. With top-quality 3D animation and original music, R-ROUND rewards rhythm & reflexes.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan - Yijie Studio today introduces R-ROUND 1.0 for iPad, its new casual arcade game, where players must quickly swivel a circular platform so that the hero, fixed on the edge, hits oncoming enemies in time with the music. Packed with some of the most foot-tapping, jingly pop tunes in gaming, players earn combo points based on the number of consecutive hits without misses and how close the initial contact is to the beat of the music. With highly detailed 3D graphics & animation and original music, R-ROUND rewards players' rhythm and reflexes.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple swivel design lets you twirl with the music
* Composed by a world famous musician, the dramatic music drives the excitement of gameplay
* Powered by Unreal Engine, the high quality scenes and visual effects are the sweetest eye candy
* Rank and challenge yourself with your highest score
* Scores game, round, combos, and misses
* Single player game or alternate between two players

Played in landscape orientation, R-ROUND offers four different environments, each with its own hero and musical theme. All the original music, so integral to the game, is recorded in stereo, and players are advised to enjoy its full quality through the use of headphones. Every 3D hero wears headphones, enhancing their ability to achieve high scores based on accurate beat matching.

The four environments include: a forest clearing, where a young girl blows kisses as she hits attacking gnomes; a roiling ocean, where a diminutive pirate shoots octopus arms with his flintlock pistol; inside a castle tower, where a boy with the helmet and cape of a Roman soldier kicks oncoming ninjas; and a dark riparian forest, where a teenage wizard fights off dark spirits with his magic wand. In each of the four worlds, players have a three-quarter, overhead view from behind the rotating flat disk at the center bottom of the screen, which functions much like a playground roundabout or merry-go-round.

Each environment has its own musical theme, and they vary in tempo from 140 to 170 beats per minute. The faster the tempo, the more difficult the game. At more advanced levels, attacks are more synchronized, allowing players to hit multiple attackers on a single beat. While the timing and number of attackers may change, enemies always come from one of five directions, spread equally along a semicircle, where one path is vertical from the top of the screen, two paths are horizontal from each side, and the last two are in between at 45 and 135 degrees.

"Put your finger on the character at the center of the screen," advised Luis Baker of Yijie Studio. "Spin it and hit the coming enemies on the beat of the music. Hit it in time to score points."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 484 MB

Pricing and Availability:
R-ROUND 1.0 for iPad is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

Acronis Advances Secure BYOD with mobilEcho 4.5.1 - Published on 09/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Massachusetts based Acronis today announces mobilEcho 4.5.1, the latest release of its market-leading mobile file management solution for iOS devices. mobilEcho enables enterprises to drastically improve mobile users' productivity, while maintaining complete control over data security and compliance. Now including free, in-app editing tools for Microsoft Office documents, mobilEcho offers military-grade, certified encryption; and other security and ease-of use improvements.

Woburn, Massachusetts - Acronis(R), a leading provider of data protection solutions, today is proud to announce the launch of mobilEcho(R) 4.5.1, the latest release of its market-leading mobile file management (MFM) solution, now including free, in-app editing tools for Microsoft(R) Office documents; military-grade, certified encryption; and other security and ease-of use improvements. mobilEcho enables enterprises to drastically improve mobile users' productivity, while maintaining complete control over data security and compliance. Even though organizations are able to securely access their information through a PC or a Mac, this is not the case when using a mobile device. mobilEcho integrates with Active Directory to extend control of information to mobile devices.

According to Intel(R), 82 percent of companies today allow employees to use personal devices at work. However, Acronis' 2013 Data Protection Trends Research found that 60 percent have no personal device policy in place, and, of those that do, 25 percent still make exceptions for executives. This shows that companies are increasingly vulnerable to bring-your-own-device (BYOD) risks and may be jeopardizing their data, exposing it to leakage, theft, corruption, malware and more. With mobilEcho 4.5, corporate data never has to leave the security of the app, even when editing Microsoft Office documents, thereby creating a secure, compliant, and controlled mobile work experience.

mobilEcho complements mobile device management (MDM) vendors' basic file access solutions, providing complete security and control of corporate information on mobile devices while, at the same time, giving end users all the necessary tools to maintain productivity. For example, MDM and most MFM solutions do not include a built-in Office editor, forcing customers to purchase separate, potentially insecure apps that could compromise the integrity of sensitive data. Many of these other, third-party apps store data in a public cloud, which, without proper security or encryption, puts critical data even further at risk. mobilEcho, on the other hand, provides the ability to manage files in one secure, corporate IT-managed location.

mobilEcho 4.5 new features:
* Microsoft Office in-app document editing, including PDF and text documents
* Military-grade, FIPS 140-2 certified encryption module, required by many highly-regulated industries
* Support for SharePoint(R) 365, allowing organizations to grant secure access to all SharePoint content
* Document thumbnail preview, enabling users to easily select the right files when browsing
* Support for client certificate authentication

"We want to rewrite the rules of handling secure data," said Anders Lofgren, VP of product management at Acronis. "By turning mobile devices into true business platforms, we can let users seamlessly access and edit documents, while maintaining a high level of security. That way, enterprise employees can continue to work efficiently using mobilEcho, while the corporation's critical data assets remain completely protected."

"The MobileIron(R) AppConnect partner ecosystem gives our customers access to the best apps in the industry for their Mobile First initiatives," said Ojas Rege, VP Strategy, MobileIron. "Acronis mobilEcho has always been very popular with our customers and its new editing capabilities will make end users more productive while still delivering enterprise-grade security."

"The strategic value of mobility is recognized by all major companies, but the security of applications and documents being shared by employees remains a major concern for business and IT leaders," according to Stacy Crook, program manager, mobile enterprise research, IDC. "The ability to access and edit Office documents in a secure environment allows enterprises to take advantage of today's mobile movement without risking data protection priorities."

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

Pricing and Availability:
mobilEcho 4.5.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.

Xi'An, China - G-Power today is pleased to introduce Patext 1.0 for iOS, its new photo app that lets users create text on photos or backgrounds that follows any path or shape.

Adding text to a photo makes it as personalized as possible, and it transforms ordinary pictures into keepsakes.

Teaching Writing Made Easy With Middle School Writing 1.0 - Published on 09/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Writing is probably the most difficult subject to teach and learn. Middle School Writing 1.0 for iPad and iPhone saves teachers and students time, money and headaches by making writing a consistent process. Teachers get a writing platform with excellent content on which they can depend, and students no longer get lost and frustrated in the writing process. It is a win-win for teacher and student. Go to the App Store today and see for yourself what 162 schools already know!

Charlottesville, Virginia - Writing is probably the most difficult subject to teach and learn. Middle School Writing 1.0 for iPad and iPhone saves teachers and students time, money and headaches by making writing a consistent process. Teachers get a writing platform with excellent content on which they can depend, and students no longer get lost and frustrated in the writing process. It is a win-win for teacher and student. Go to the App Store today and see for yourself what 162 schools already know!

Bring up the subject of writing essays and students automatically let out a groan. Why? Because just the thought of struggling to put the correct sentences together is not a fun idea. Middle School Writing 1.0 takes the pressure off of teachers and students by providing a detailed, easy-to-follow road-map starting with how to dissect a paper topic all the way to editing and proofreading techniques. Designed to work with any writing curriculum, schools can now focus on training the "writing mind" instead of answering elementary questions such as "What do I do next?" Save time and improve students' composition with Niles Technology writing apps.

"The issue with many writing products is the lack of follow-through products that employ the same pedagogy," explains Michael A. Niles, president of Niles Technology Group. "Students may get help from one product, but the next product they use is usually completely different. Therefore, many skills and protocols learned in one product are often left behind, and the student does not build very well on the previous exercises. Niles apps have a scaffolding system that increases the instructional detail as the essay types become more intricate. Consistency in methodology reinforces lessons learned and automatically builds on prior exercises. All-in-all, students retain and bring forward more skills because of our pedagogically-consistent product design."

Parents, teachers and schools are discovering the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month, school volume purchases of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile technology in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents are also catching on because Essay Workstation 2.1 is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. Middle School Writing 1.0 and High School Writing 3.0 are virtually tied as solid No. 2 bestsellers, with both parents and schools purchasing the apps.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 2.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Middle School Writing 1.0 is $18.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

With its experience in the technology and content required to develop full-featured products for students, Niles Technology Group is a leading app publisher, and the Essay Czar, Achievers Writing Center and Essay Writing Wizard apps have sold successfully worldwide.

Beirut, Lebanon - Yazsoft has announced Playback 1.8.15, their new zero configuration media server for Mac OS X. With a focus on ease-of-use, Playback allows anyone to share their media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device.

Top-Rated Hockey ClipPad is a Must-Have iPad App for Coaches - Published on 09/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TLApps today announces Hockey ClipPad 4.0, an update to their popular sports app developed for iPad devices. Hockey ClipPad provides coaches with a whiteboard, drill builder, practice planner and team lineup manager. Create easy to follow drills, manage team lineups game by game, and develop practice plans that you can print or email to share with your team and coaches. iOS7 ready, version 4.0 features improved navigation of drills, plays and practice plans, an advanced keyword search and more.

Lakeville, Minnesota - Now iOS 7 ready, the highly rated Hockey ClipPad keeps getting better with each release and there is more to come. Since it hit the App Store over a year ago, it has improved by taking user feedback seriously and constantly striving to develop quality features that are useful and easy to use on the iPad.

Hockey coaches are always looking for tools that help them develop well-prepared practices. The iPad with its touch interface offers great potential for drawing and saving a coach's killer drills and practices.

Although there are many drill building apps out there, the top-rated iOS 7 ready Hockey ClipPad stands out and is quickly evolving as the preferred app for youth coaches. As one coach states, "...This app has been improving little by little and is now in the top couple out there..."

For $1.99 it is hard to go wrong with this app.

What benefits does the Hockey ClipPad provide?
* Draw up clean, easy to view drills and save drills for later use. No more thick binders full of drills that are hard to find
* Share drills with fellow coaches. Build up your collection of drills by sharing with other coaches through the app
* Create practice plans and share the plans with fellow coaches. Now all coaches can be prepared before practice
* Manage lineups for each game and easily swap players in the lineup. Now respond quicker to game situations and view lineups from previous games
* Teach your team plays and tactics using the whiteboard feature. No need for marker, pen or paper on the bench

What is Next for Hockey ClipPad?
* Provide "Drill Packs" that coaches can download so they have a solid set of ready to run drills
* Drill Animations allowing coaches to better illustrate the flow of a drill to their players
* Sharing through Facebook and Twitter
* Other ideas from the hockey community?

Check out what users are saying about Hockey ClipPad:
"I love this app. I now have all my sessions recorded and on the iPad and iPhone. I take both to the rink, keep the iPad at board side and the phone in my pocket. Everything is there and when something doesn't work, I switch up the drill or the whole practice in seconds. Have I said I love it yet?"

"It is simple to use and has everything a coach could want. You can save drills, edit them, email them, print them..whatever.. It has every possible icon, skating pattern you can think of. Thank you to whoever made this app it is PERFECT!"
