Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - A "just married" couple who make games for iPhone and iPad are taking time out from their honeymoon to prepare for their next game's release. Chris and Katherine Newman of Stoke-on-Trent, UK, ran off to Las Vegas to get married as soon as their latest game was submitted to Apple for review. They tied the knot with a secret ceremony at Caesars Palace on October 5th.

The couple, who publish apps as Lightwood Games, have now heard that Stak Bots, a card game with battling robots, has been approved and it is scheduled for worldwide release on Monday October 21st.

Stak Bots is the studio's first officially licensed game, based on the card game of the same name, which is published by UK-based DogEared Games. It's a two-player game featuring a cast of 32 cute (but deadly!) robots and can be played online or in pass-and-play mode. It's easy to learn and suitable for the whole family.

Any reviewers who would like early access to Stak Bots can request promotional codes by emailing Chris.

Stak Bots follows several other releases by Lightwood Games this year, including Foursies, a brand new take on the classic board game Connect 4, and Word Search 10K, the largest word search puzzle ever made.

Lightwood Games is a trading name of Lightwood Consultancy Ltd, a small company based on Stoke-on-Trent, UK. Established in 1999, Lightwood gained a reputation for producing high quality software for clients around the world. After a decade of delivering web-based projects for clients as diverse as motor traders, stock photography sites, roleplaying games and licensed real money poker operators, the developers found the lure of the new generation of mobile phones too strong to resist and extended their skills to provide consulting services in this sector. The company began developing games for iOS in 2010. Since then, the company has continued to focus on producing high quality applications in the puzzle game genre, and now concentrates exclusively on its mobile game output. In April 2012, Lightwood's developers won two awards at the UK's first GameHack event for their game Plasma Party. They won "Best Use of Mobile" and "Most Innovative App" for developing a unique multiple screen
gaming platform in just 24 hours. Copyright (C) 2013 Lightwood Consultancy Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Apple, the Apple logo, iPhone, iPod and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. in the U.S. and/or other countries.

iOS 7 Ready - Know Thyself - Step by Step with a Life Inventory App - Published on 10/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

James Hollender's Life Inventory apps are ready for iOS 7. These apps, once understood are amazing and built-in instructions are a great help. They guide users step by step in creating their own Moral Inventory which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses, leading to a better knowledge of self than they ever thought possible. Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping.

Revere, Massachusetts - James Hollender's Life Inventory apps are ready for iOS 7. These apps, once understood are amazing and built-in instructions are a great help. They guide users step by step in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better knowledge of themselves. 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."

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 from others.

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 more if desired:

* 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."

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."

James Hollender is also the author of a suite of Nutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database:

* iCarbs (Carbohydrates)

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, but is limited as to the number of records created so it's not sufficient to complete a full Life Inventory.

Advanced Service Bidding app Officially Launches in iTunes Store - Published on 10/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Software developer, Will Scott today introduces ServaBid 2.1 for iOS, an innovative service bidding app that streamlines the search for contract work. ServaBid uses short, user-recorded videos to connect them with service providers in virtually any area. The job posting process starts with consumers creating video "Tasks" that describe what they need done. Video Tasks are categorized for search by using hashtags, and service providers place bids on completing consumer Tasks through the app.

Austin, Texas - Will Scott, a leading software developer based in the Austin area, officially launched his ground-breaking app, ServaBid, in the iTunes app store today. ServaBid uses short, user-recorded videos to connect them with service providers in virtually any area.

"ServaBid will help people solve problems, and lead to getting things done more efficiently in many areas," says Will Scott, Founder and CEO of ServaBid Inc.

The job posting process starts with consumers creating video "Tasks" that describe what they need done. Video Tasks are categorized for search by using hashtags, and service providers (individuals or businesses) place bids on completing consumer Tasks through the app. Consumers can accept, decline, or negotiate received bids, and directly search for service providers based on their locale, and areas of expertise.

"Consumers spend time and effort meeting with service providers, and the need for the vast majority of these meetings could be eliminated using the power of video," said Scott. "ServaBid saves both parties in this interaction time and money."

Once the task has been posted, the task is visible in general search, and service providers can search and bid on completing Tasks directly through ServaBid. If they so choose, Consumers can also send "Serv'd" Tasks directly to specific service providers for bidding. Consumers can also post video "Results" for completed Tasks - a powerful way to actually display the final outcome, and quality of the service provider's work.

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

Pricing and Availability:
ServaBid 2.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. A Google Play version is currently being developed. For more information, visit ServaBid online.

ShopSavvy Unveils New Version of Mobile App to Empower Store Discovery - Published on 10/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ShopSavvy today is proud to announce Android and iOS updates empower ShopSavvy's millions of users to find "the right product at the right time," with new features such as shopping feeds, featured lists, new product content, enhanced social network integration, and more. The latest version of ShopSavvy includes a sleek new interface and a slew of new features, including an all-new shopping feed system, featured lists, new product content, and enhanced integration with Facebook, Gmail & others.

San Francisco, California - ShopSavvy, the world's leading mobile shopping platform, today announced the introduction of ShopSavvy 8 for iOS mobile devices and Android smartphones in preparation for the 2013 holiday season. The latest version of ShopSavvy includes a sleek new interface and a slew of new features, including an all-new shopping feed system, featured lists, new product content, and enhanced integration with Facebook, Gmail and other social networks. Together, the updates make ShopSavvy the single most comprehensive resource for real-time information on millions of products and retailers worldwide.

"This month's release marks the first stage of ShopSavvy's transformation into an integrated platform fueling product discovery for our customers with unmatched product detail and store information," said John Boyd, CEO and co-founder of ShopSavvy. "ShopSavvy has invested in technology to organize the world's product information in real time, and these features will enable us to surface this valuable content to our users in new ways - helping our customers find exactly what they are looking for, as well as discovering brand new products that delight them at each use."

By updating or downloading the latest version of ShopSavvy on iPhone or on Android smartphones, users can take advantage of its many new features, including:

* Shopping Feeds. Users can now access real-time activity streams designed to organize and improve their shopping experience, including price alerts, updates from other users, additions to store catalogs, list collaboration and more.
* Featured Lists. Users can identify and follow featured content channels to receive product updates as well as personalized information based on their shopping interests. It's a great tool for discovering new products.
* Non-UPC Products Added. For the first time, ShopSavvy has added non-barcode products to the system with their own unique ShopSavvy Product ID. These products are accessible via keyword search, the browse feature, and through the platform's new feed system.
* More Product Images, Descriptions and Videos. The new release features higher-quality, faster-loading images and videos to provide greater convenience and product detail.
* Increase in Clothing and Home Goods Available. Shoppers now have more product information on fashion apparel and housewares than ever before. Thousands of stores have been added to the system, increasing the total number of brands and retailers within the app to well over 40,000, with millions more products from large retailers and local stores all in one place.
* Enhanced Product Organization. About 70 percent of ShopSavvy's product inventory is now searchable by product attributes, not just product name. This allows ShopSavvy to better organize the world's product information and make it easier for consumers to find the items they want and discover new products or stores that they may not have identified on their own.
* Improved Sharing Capabilities. With additional sharing capabilities at users' fingertips that leverage existing social networks such as Gmail and Facebook, shoppers can now share products with friends or see items shared by their friends all within the ShopSavvy platform.
* Better Local Deals. Through ShopSavvy's new partnership with RetailMeNot, users now have access to local coupons and promo codes for thousands of online stores through the world's No. 1 online coupon provider.

"ShopSavvy once was thought of as just a price-comparison app, but our users have been demanding increased product content and better discoverability," said Chris Makarsky, vice president of product. "With ShopSavvy 8 it should be clear that we are now the single best information source - whether they are shopping for products online or off, with or without barcodes, from large retailers or small local boutiques. Simply put, we are organizing the world's product information to power discovery, and we do this with product detail that is unbiased and unmatched by any competitor."
