Filterloop App Released - New Take on Photo Editing - Published on 11/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ultralab today introduces Filterloop 1.0 for iOS, a collection of beautiful photo filters. With the possibility of applying efects separately or applying layer by layer, users can achieve unique-looking results with a combination of different filters. Featuring a simple-to-use interface, Filterloop offers 18 hand-picked filters, each skillfully crafted to enhance the look of any image. Mixing and matching the available options allows for a virtually endless number of possible combinations.

Minsk, Belarus - Ultralab today is excited to announce the release of Filterloop 1.0 for iOS, a collection of beautiful photo filters with the possibility of using them separately or applying layer by layer. Being able to alter the image with a combination of different filters, users can achieve unpredictable unique-looking results each time they open the app. Although the app is simple and not abundant in sophisticated features, it is a powerful photo editing tool with great potential.

There are 18 hand-picked filters in Filterloop, each skillfully crafted not to change but to enhance the look of any image. The selection is versatile: there are dreamy-looking filters, the ones making the colors pop, and of course a number of black-and-whites. Mixing and matching the available options allows for a virtually endless number of possible combinations, which turns Filterloop into a tool of creating hundreds of effects for any taste without the need of complex adjustments. Some users might figure out their own favorite filters after a couple of uses and stick to them, while others are free to keep experimenting with every photograph, discovering new editing recipes.

The app's interface is minimalistic and uncluttered. The only other features added for the sake of convenience are an in-built camera with rectangular and square shooting modes and one-tap sharing to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

"We find most of the photo-editing apps too complicated and overloaded with settings for a casual user," says Eugene Valuev, founder of Ultralab. "What we wanted to do is to offer something different, really simple yet versatile, giving users room for creativity while sticking to the minimum set of features. We think Filterloop perfectly serves these aims and hope it will be appreciated by both amateurs and photo editing pros."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later.
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
* 4.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Filterloop 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

AlphaDigits Top Rated Apps October 2013 - Published on 11/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AlphaDigits releases the list of top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. Now, it has listed five top rated mobile apps for the month of October. Fame Face, a really fun app that kept users stuck on their phone for hours. MotorMouth, its potential will surely explode as other apps tap into its feeds. DialMyCalls, to make texting or sending of text messages easier and faster. Also, The Fat Penguin and Pinxter.

Long Island, New York - AlphaDigits has named the top rated mobile apps for the month of October 2013.

AlphaDigits releases the list of top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. Now, it has listed five top rated mobile apps for the month of October. Here is the list

Fame Face (5/5): Do you find yourself glued to the TV when the image of a famous actor or singer splashes across the screen? Do you wonder what's up in their world? If that's you, then Fame Face is sure to keep you glued to your phone as you tap away tiles and guess who's hiding behind. It is a really fun app that kept users stuck on their phone for hours.

MotorMouth (4.8/5): This app lets you connect with others around you to hear about what they are doing, where they are, and what may be happening around them. If you really want to stretch it a bit, you could consider it to be an audible version of Twitter. MotorMouth is somewhat useful, and its potential will surely explode as other apps tap into its feeds.

DialMyCalls (4.7/5): This is a unique type of android app that is intended to make sending messages pretty much easier and faster. The application can be used to send messages to a number of people all at once. This app also enables you to record the message and send it at a later date or time. The main purpose of DialMyCalls is to make texting or sending of text messages easier and faster.

The Fat Penguin (4.5/5): This app is kind of like Truth or Dare, but requires the asker of a question to correctly guess how each player has answered the question put out on the table. It randomly generates questions that players have to secretly answer. At least two players are required, but the more players you have, the better it gets...although the recommended maximum is 8 players.

Pinxter (4.3/5): Need instant feedback on your outfit? Pinxter can help you. Upload a pic, ask for feedback, get immediate results and make an instant decision - receive unbiased opinions in real-time. Users can also share photos directly with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. Highest-rated photos earn them a spot on the Pinxter leaderboard.

Joe Ellen, an editor at AlphaDigits said, "As I said, we have started providing video reviews from October. Our video reviews can also serve as a good explainer videos." App developers can contact AlphaDigits through the onsite form to get their apps reviewed. They can contact by mail or the contact form to avail other marketing services.

IGG Software Anounces iBank 5 Public Beta - Published on 11/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

After more than a year of development and months of private testing, IGG Software has released the public beta of iBank 5, the forthcoming full-version upgrade to its popular money management program for Mac. Interested testers can now download iBank 5 Beta from the IGG website. Following this announcement, all new purchases of iBank 4 made via the IGG online store will include an additional license code for a free upgrade to iBank 5.

Putney, Vermont - After more than a year of development and months of private testing, IGG Software has released the public beta of iBank 5, the forthcoming full-version upgrade to its popular money management program for Mac. Interested testers can now download iBank 5 Beta from the IGG website. Following this announcement, all new purchases of iBank 4 made via the IGG online store will include an additional license code for a free upgrade to iBank 5.

"Our goal has always been the same," says IGG president Ian Gillespie. "We want to provide Mac users with the best, most complete finance management package available on any platform. iBank 5 brings it all together seamlessly, in a way that will please existing customers and impress anyone still on the fence about switching."

Among dozens of new features and improvements coming in iBank 5, changes of immediate interest to both current and future users include:

- Bill pay.
iBank 5 will connect to most major U.S. banks from within the app, allowing users to schedule and send payments, track those transactions and categorize the expenses, all with easy in-app set-up and a few simple clicks.

- One-button updating.
A single Update Everything button on the iBank 5 toolbar imports all transactions from directly connected accounts, syncs devices, updates securities prices, and downloads current Direct Access data. Even users with many accounts, diverse investments and finances in multiple currencies may never have to enter another transaction manually.

- Direct Access.
IGG's exclusive subscription service for automatically updating transactions in all accounts was introduced last year with iBank for iPad. Now coming to iBank 5, it connects to over 10,000 banks worldwide. In addition, a single Direct Access account allows users to sync that data between iBank 5 for Mac and iBank for iPad 2.

- Smarter budgeting.
With an all-new data model and streamlined user interface, iBank's new budgets automatically incorporate scheduled transactions such as recurring income and bills. Users may view historic budgets accurately even as adjustments are made to future budgets, and budgets will sync to iBank for iPad 2 as well.

Among other features, iBank 5 also adds:

* enhanced investment support for bonds and options;
* an improved set-up assistant for more accurate imports from Quicken or other programs;
* superior handling of duplicate transactions from bank downloads;
* new integration with Reminders and Notification Center;
* inline imports that go directly to transaction registers, eliminating the import window;
* better use of import rules to speed categorization;
* and the ability, for all licensed users, to take advantage of IGG's upgrade pricing from within the new app.

For optional, automatic updating of transactions, users of iBank 5 will have the opportunity to try Direct Access for free during a 30-day trial. Maintaining the service will cost as little as 11 cents a day: just $4.99 per month, or $39.99 for an annual subscription; that data can be synced to iBank for iPad 2 directly from the desktop app over local Wi-Fi or via WebDAV server.

The iBank 5 public beta can be downloaded from IGG Software by anyone interested in testing the app. Feedback should be submitted by email to the address given on the iBank 5 beta page. As with all beta software, IGG notes that the available build may be unstable and that prospective testers should take normal precautions to safeguard critical data. Nonetheless, iBank 5 can be run alongside iBank 4 without affecting the pre-existing version or its files.

Upon final release, iBank 5.0 will be available for download for $59.99 from the IGG online store, the Mac App Store and other outlets; the price for upgrades via IGG will be $29.99. iBank 5 requires Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and is fully compatible with 10.9 Mavericks.
