Transform any digital photo into stunning artwork using LoryStripes - Published on 10/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixite LLC, in partnership with Italian architect and designer Laurent Rosset, today introduce LoryStripes 1.0, the next must-have photo effects app for iPhone. Designed to elegantly personalize any photo, LoryStripes transforms plain images into something people instantly talk about. LoryStripes approach is one-of-a-kind. Users enhance images by adding beautifully crafted ribbons and lines, or Stripes, drawing out elements in the photo while adding elegance and zing to it.

San Diego, California - The photo app development team at Pixite LLC, the makers of the Editor's Choice photo effects app Tangent, in partnership with Italian architect and designer Laurent Rosset, today are proud to announce the next must-have photo effects app, LoryStripes for iPhone. Designed to elegantly personalize any photo, LoryStripes transforms plain images into something people instantly talk about. Moreover, LoryStripes is uniquely engaging - using LoryStripes is as enjoyable as the images that are created using the app.

LoryStripes approach is one-of-a-kind. Users enhance images by adding beautifully crafted ribbons and lines, or Stripes, drawing out elements in the photo while adding elegance and zing to it. Professional graphic artists have used similar techniques in advertising and artwork, but this is the first time these techniques are accessible to artists and non-artists alike.

The LoryStripes experience is simple as well as delightful. Users choose an image from the Camera Roll, select a Stripe, adjust it, and weave it throughout the different elements in the photo. When users first use the Stripes, they will be amazed at what they actually are. The Stripes are not flat two-dimensional overlays, which is the norm even for professional artists using high-end graphic editing software, but are actually carefully crafted 3-D objects that can be positioned, scaled, and tweaked by simply swiping across the touch screen.

The technology behind LoryStripes is a feat in itself. The app uses OpenGL ES 2.0 to take advantage of the iPhone's advanced graphics hardware, allowing LoryStripes to create fully three-dimensional Stripes that render at photo quality in real time. The technology allows users to naturally move the Stripes on the screen, creating a photo editing experience like no other.

Once LoryStripes users have enhanced their photos, they can either opt to share their creations seamlessly to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with just a tap or "ReStripe," a feature that allows the user to save their creation and continue adding more layers to their photo. This unique feature alone means that the creative possibilities for LoryStripes are truly limitless.

"For a long time, I was searching for a way to personalize each of the photos I take everyday. Something elegant and beautiful that would enhance each photo and make it more mine. What I landed on was LoryStripes," says LoryStripes creator, Laurent Rosset.

"At first I added these enhancements to my photos on the computer using stripe overlays I carefully created. The more I shared my photos and overlays, the more I discovered that the Stripes were exactly what other artists were looking for. Now that LoryStripes is available on the iPhone, it's easier than ever to add style and elegance to any digital photo."

LoryStripes features:
* 40 beautifully crafted Stripes
* 120 Stripe presets, or "Styles," to quickly select the right Stripe for any photo
* 62 stunning colors and 9 different shadings and blends for every Stripe
* Completely customize any Stripe by rotating, scaling, and moving them in 3D for an infinite number of possibilities
* Weave Stripes between different elements using the Masking feature
* Layer multiple Stripes using the ReStripe feature
* Share on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
* Browse amazing LoryStripes creations in the Inspirations section, updated frequently

Device Requirements:
* iPhone with iOS 6.0 or later
* 14.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
LoryStripes 1.0 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo and Video category.

Timisoara, Romania - Top Kids Apps is hosting the Carnival of Learning Games for Kids - Halloween Edition on October 28. This edition will feature Halloween games for kids and "spooky" storybooks that are not all blood, ghosts, monsters and vampires, but rather educational, creative and fun.

What is a blog carnival?
A blog carnival is a community of bloggers who share a common interest. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (monthly), and each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks. As you may have guessed, the Carnival of Learning Games for Kids will be centered around the subject of kids' games and apps developed on different platforms (Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows, etc.), with a special interest in fun learning games for kids and educational apps.

How can I join?
If you are a teacher, a reviewer or a developer of kids' games, feel free to submit your "scary" blog article for the Halloween Edition of the Carnival of Fun Learning Games for Kids through our website. Submission deadline: October 25.

What should I do when the carnival post is out?
Since this carnival was created to promote and highlight the best learning games for kids and to help promote the developer's/blogger's work to a wider audience, it would be great if carnival participants share the carnival post on social media once it is out, read, leave comments, and share posts published in the carnival (It will be boring if we don't interact, right?).

Awesome! I'm in!

Bubble Chart Pro Adds Zoom-Boxes to 3-D Bubble Charts in Latest Release - Published on 10/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Three-dimensional (3-D) bubble charts let managers uniquely compare projects and business investments against 4 different criteria simultaneously, such as costs, risks, profit, and resources. Bubble Chart Pro 5.3 for Mac and Windows adds zoom-boxes to its 3-D bubble charts to let managers isolate and display small selections of bubbles by simply drawing a rectangle on the chart that contains those bubbles. Thus, zoom-boxes are a convenient way to "zoom-in" on specific project groups.

Wilmington, Delaware - Three-dimensional (3-D) bubble charts let managers uniquely compare projects and business investments against 4 different criteria simultaneously, such as costs, risks, rewards, and resources. Bubble Chart Pro(tm) Version 5.3 for Mac and Windows adds zoom-boxes to its 3-D bubble charts to let managers isolate and display small selections of bubbles by simply drawing a rectangle on the chart that contains those bubbles. Thus, zoom-boxes are a convenient way to "zoom-in" on a specific area of a bubble chart, and they are particularly useful in analyzing crowded charts that display many bubbles.

This latest release of Bubble Chart Pro(tm) also increases the size and resolution of some export charts, and adds some additional preferences for customizing chart displays.

In a 3D bubble chart, projects are represented by bubbles floating in a 3-dimensional rectangular space where data is represented by the X, Y, and Z axes and the size of the bubble. By dividing the space into sections, managers can determine at a glance which are their best projects and which are their worst projects. For example, the top, left, front section might contain the projects with the lowest costs, lowest risk, and highest strategic value whereas the bottom, right, back section would contain the projects with the highest costs, highest risk, and lowest strategic value.

The 3D bubble charts are highly customizable to allow users to choose the look that they want, including changing colors, backgrounds, pictures, fonts, etc.

In addition to zoom-boxes, managers can look around a 3D bubble chart by rotating the chart horizontally and vertically on their monitors. This lets them explore their data thoroughly in the 3D environment, and get valuable perspectives in a natural interactive manner.

"Zoom-boxes are one of the most popular features in our original two-dimensional (2D) bubble charts," says George Huhn, developer of Bubble Chart Pro(tm). "They help customers drill-down into their portfolio data in crowded charts. After we added 3-D charts in version 5.2, customers began asking to have zoom-boxes in the 3-D bubble charts, too. So now they have them in version 5.3."

Bubble Chart Pro with 3D bubble charts comes in three editions. Bubble Chart Pro BASIC is the basic full-featured bubble charting application. Bubble Chart Pro PLUS includes a SMART prioritizer for prioritizing or ranking projects, project bar charts, and an executive dashboard. Bubble Chart Pro OPTIMAL adds an easy to use quantitative optimizer for finding an optimized portfolio of projects that will deliver the maximum value when the business doesn't have enough capital, resources, or risk tolerance to do all the projects in its portfolio.

Bubble Chart Pro starts at only $149.97 USD, and a free demonstration version can be downloaded from the Bubble Chart website. All Bubble Chart Pro editions can be used in the latest Mac and Windows operating systems.

Rhys Darby Voices Kids' iPad Book App for Yoozoo Books - Published on 10/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Auckland based Yoozoo Books today introduces Have You Heard 1.01, its new children's story book and game app for iPad. With narration and sound effects from Rhys Darby, the app is for kids of all ages. The app offers readers different ways to watch and play the story. It can be read out loud or Rhys can be selected to read instead. Featuring lovable characters, playful sounds and colorful animations, Have You Heard is an app where the interactivity doesn't get in the way of a classic yarn.

Auckland, New Zealand - Yoozoo Books, a new children's book app publisher, today is thrilled to announce the release of Have You Heard, a children's story book and game app for iPad. With narration and sound effects from Rhys Darby, the app is for kids of all ages.

Have You Heard is a comedy tale set down on the farm about a case of "barnyard whispers". The app offers readers different ways to watch and play the story. It can be read out loud or Rhys can be selected to read instead. "Darby Mode" includes an original score and self-generated sound effects for the characters, farm machinery and even inanimate items such as a turnip.

"Rhys' rendition of a turnip has to be a world first," says author Julian Stokoe. "He creates engaging sound effects and character voices that really brings the story to life. Children will be captivated listening and interacting with the screen. Parents will also enjoy the humor and illustrations especially when they can sit back and let Rhys take over the reading duties."

Designed for ease of use and accessibility, Peterson field guides have introduced generations of North Americans to the beauty of the natural environment. The Peterson app is on sale through the end of October, 2013, an 80% discount on the regular price.

San Francisco, California - Peterson Birds - A Field Guide to Birds of North America, an iOS app selected by Apple from over 1,000,000 App Store apps to feature in the keynote video introducing the new iPad Air, is on sale for $2.99. The award-winning Peterson Birds app, regularly priced at $14.99, is shown in the Apple video at the 01:18 mark after a hiker pulls the new iPad Air out of his backpack.

In addition to the conventional information found in a field guide book, the Peterson app lets you mark birds you've seen off a checklist, record sightings with notes, add your own photos, and reorganize the way the guide looks to truly make it your own. The app provides indexes for quick reference, search functions for filtering the app's 800 plus birds, and a wealth of additional detailed information.

The Peterson Birds app is on sale until the end of the October for $2.99 USD, an 80% reduction on the regular App Store price of $14.99. The sale, which began on Saturday October 19, 2013, runs through the end of the month.

New search engine for iPhone and iPad apps - An Apple iTunes alternative - Published on 10/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

bluejava K.K. announces the beta release of AppSearch.pw, a new iOS app search and discovery service for the desktop, iPhone and iPad. Billed as a Truly Modern App Search, AppSearch embraces simplicity and advanced HTML5 technologies to improve the user experience and help users find great apps quickly. It is accessable simply by navigating to AppSearch.pw on any device. Results can be quickly scanned for relevance with screenshots, reviews and even demo videos for each app.

Yokohama, Japan - bluejava (bluejava K.K.) is proud to announce the beta release of AppSearch.pw - a new iOS app search and discovery service for the desktop, iPhone and iPad. Billed as a "Truly Modern App Search", AppSearch embraces simplicity and advanced HTML5 technologies to improve the user experience and help users find great apps quickly. Results can be quickly scanned for relevance with screenshots, reviews and even demo videos for each app.

iTunes is repeatedly critisized for its awkward and sometimes unfriendly user interface for searching its massive 900,000+ available apps. It is separate from the web, so is difficult to share links, bookmark pages, open multiple windows for comparison, or even copy text or images. Even standard interface concepts such as the "back button" behave unexpectantly at times. Search results are often of varying quality and there is no ability to further filter down those results to find precisely what you are looking for.

AppSearch.pw solves these problems by providing a true web experience with proper URLs and back button support. Search results are displayed in an innovative icon grid format, giving users the ability to quickly scan many apps at once. Filters provide the ability to limit the search results to apps within a particular category or within a specific price range. Fast access to screenshots, reviews from all over the world, and demo videos make it easy to determine if an app serves your needs.

AppSearch is optimized for use on the desktop, iPad or iPhone. It is accessable simply by navigating to AppSearch.pw on any device. iPad and iPhone users can add the web site to their "Home Screen" to provide an app-like experience for launching AppSearch and to experience a full-screen display.
