Faceballs Lets Users Create Custom Photos that Appear in the Game - Published on 11/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Faceballs app from Cambrian Soul is a hilarious, unique, fun and challenging suite of games and activities where users move their device around to bounce together spheres called "faceballs", which are actually pictures of them and their friends. The iPhone and iPad app features great sound effects, multiple gameplay options and modes, and a handy scaling feature that turns any picture into a faceball.

Cupertino, California - Once in a long while, a new game comes along that is so unique that it defies categorization - it simply has to be personally experienced to be understood and appreciated. And the latest app deserving of this coveted requirement is Faceballs from Cambrian Soul, which, according to one happy gamer, "has forever changed the way I think about faces. And balls."

In the simplest terms, Faceballs is a hilarious, unique, fun and challenging suite of games and activities for iPhone or iPad where users move their device around to bounce together spheres. Sound fairly normal? Hold on - the fun is just beginning.

The spheres referred to here aren't ordinary, everyday balls. They're actual pictures of users and their friends that are saved in the app's library of Custom Faceballs, which include:

> Pre-created cartoons, including "The Professor", "Slippery Pete", and "Wilson the Volleyball"
> Profile pictures of Facebook friends
> Existing or new photos of friends, pets, or anything else that can be scaled via the app's handy scaling feature and turned into a spherical "face"

Plus, each custom-created sphere (a.k.a. "faceball";) can be designated as a regular character or "boss" within the game, and faceballs can be further categorized into sub-libraries and groups.

Other unique special features include fun music and great sound effects, score tracking Game Center integration, and two exciting multi-mode gameplay options:

> The PlayPen, which is essentially a fun sandbox mode where users can do pretty much anything they can imagine, such as toss faceballs gently through the air, shatter them against a wall, maneuver them through a lightning storm, put them into orbit around a fiery sun, turn on the trash compactor for some mind-squashing action - the possibilities are endless.

> Mini-Games, such as "Duck's Revenge" where users must rely on quick reactions and accurate touch to shoot faceballs as they fly across the screen; and "Ice Balls", where users must deftly tilt their device to avoid collisions and fire snowballs and hockey pucks in a local ice rink, all because a rogue penguin has hijacked a Zamboni.

"The world can be a serious place, and there are plenty of serious apps for people who do serious things," commented Jeremy Nelson, lead developer and producer. "However, Faceballs is designed for fun, laughs, smiles, and yes, the inexplicable bliss of seeing your and your friends' faces in ball-form, and then doing all kinds of wacky things with your device to score points and win big."

Added Mr. Nelson: "Essentially, it all comes down to this: people like their iPhone or iPad. People like their friends. And people like balls. When you put them all together, you get Faceballs. What more could you ask for?"

Faceballs, the hilarious, unique, fun and challenging new app that lets users create custom photos that appear in the game, is available in the App Store.

* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later

Free Encrypted Texting App Provides Face-to-Face Trust - Published on 11/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ClayWare, LLC today announces TightBeam Communicator 4.0, an update to their free, secure texting app for iPhone. TightBeam Communicator was developed specifically for sending encrypted text messages. TightBeam uses end-to-end encryption to pass secure messages between users, as well as allowing the option to auto-delete messages. Version 4.0 fixes a crash, offers an improved layout with better integration with iOS 7, quicker QR scanning and a new logo.

Rochester, New York - ClayWare, LLC today is proud to announce the release of TightBeam Communicator 4.0, an update to their free, secure texting app for iPhone. TightBeam Communicator was developed specifically for sending encrypted text messages. In response to growing concern about corporate and governmental eavesdropping due to the Snowden leaks, TightBeam provides a communication channel for the security conscious that ensures better security than other apps of its kind.

Like other secure texting apps, TightBeam uses end-to-end encryption to pass secure messages between users, as well as allowing the option to auto-delete messages. However, TightBeam distinguishes itself from similar products by ensuring even more privacy for its users. This is accomplished by the unique way in which encryption keys are transferred between users.

TightBeam requires two people to be face-to-face to create a secure communication channel and cleverly uses QR codes to transmit a one time secure key between two iOS devices. To create the secure connection, one user generates a QR Code and the other user points their camera at the code. TightBeam then uses the information stored in the QR Code to create the secure communication channel. The advantage of this system is two fold. First, by using the camera, it is very hard for a would-be hacker to intercept the exchange of encryption keys. Second, by creating the secure channel face-to-face, you can be sure the person you are texting with is actually the person you think it is.

"It is important to us that the messages are unreadable by anyone except the intended recipient. Even the developer of the app can't read the texts," says ClayWare Co-founder Debra Lewis. "Since encryption keys are transferred between our users in person, this makes texts sent through TightBeam Communicator highly resistant to a man-in-the-middle attack."

A man-in-the-middle attack is a type of security attack where an attacker relays messages between two people. This type of attack makes people think they are having a private conversation, when in fact someone is eavesdropping.

ClayWare, LLC has chosen to monetize this application with the use of ads. Regarding this decision ClayWare Co-founder and Engineer of TightBeam Lucas Jordan says, "I don't want users to have to make an account to use TightBeam. I don't want to know who uses the app. I want it to be impossible for me, or anyone else, to figure out who is talking to who. Ads can be annoying, but they offer an anonymous way for me to make the revenue required to keep this app up and running. The use of ads in lieu of subscription fees also enables more people to take advantage of the security provided by our app."

ClayWare has published a white paper that spells out exactly how TightBeam works. Security experts looking to find secure products should review this paper. "The way the application works is no secret," Jordan says. "The only secrets are the encryption keys, and only our users have access to those."

Other features that ensure secure communication include: no centralized message repository, no centralized certificate authority and the fact that in order to prevent eavesdropping the connections are not established over wifi, cellular or Bluetooth.

Version 4.0 fixes a crash, offers an improved layout with better integration with iOS 7, quicker QR scanning and a new logo.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 9.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TightBeam Communicator 4.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. There is an iOS 7 version in the works.

The real effort is focusing to attach a particular emotion to a circle. The app helps the user focus on emotions and thought by using voice instructions within alpha wave frequency. Alpha waves are one type of brain wave that put the user in relaxed mental state while still focused on instructions and imagination.

In addition to mapping thoughts into the screen to help users understand their state of mind, Halo my Mood also relies on NLP practical exercises. For example, using the NLP Swish technique, the user can take negative emotions into virtual prison cells to diffuse their power. For a successful practice, there is a long introduction to understand the concept and the steps. Mapping mood and emotional concepts is not new and different approaches to this idea have been around for some time; however the idea of controlling these emotions using finger tips on the screen is where Halo my Mood seeks to break new ground.

Halo my Mood is free to install and costs only $2 to use the 3 sensory Swish techniques or the Prison Cells. The app is also loaded with great instrumental music as part of the NLP exercises as well as stunning photos to help someone stressed out escape the emotional trap.

This app helps the user to improve their concentration by stimulating the root of the sub-conscious mind; the iPad owner can develop enhanced control over their mind and increase motivation to reach their goals and objectives.

Probably NLP specialists can review the effectiveness of this app as it utilizes well- known NLP theories and practical exercises.

Halo my Mood, is available now for iOS devices in the App Store.

Preschool Playhouse - The Next Must Have Kids App - Published on 11/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Preschool Playhouse by Fairytale Studios features game design that is original and unique to iOS devices. With infinite gameplay, the app is exploratory rather than linear and focuses on two core values for young children; learning and music. Sophie and Sam are guitar-playing helpers who ask instructive questions, allowing even the youngest child to understand what to do next. Ideal for parents as they can not only play along with their children but also their children to freely play for hours.

Lake Tahoe, California - Fairytale Studios today is proud to introduce Preschool Playhouse 1.0 for iOS. Designed for ages 2-6, Preschool Playhouse is entirely unique to the children's app genre. The gameplay design is continuous instead of linear as it focuses on imaginative exploration and musical introduction. In the learning games, each correct answer is followed by another question without an ending. This design is ideal for parents as they can not only play along with their children but also allow their children to freely play for hours.

The app plays intuitively with a character as the guide. Sophie and Sam are guitar-playing helpers who ask instructive questions, allowing even the youngest child to understand what to do next. The games use colorful bubbles, an animal safari, aquarium fish, and multiple musical scenes to teach color combinations, animal names, counting, music creation and popular sing-alongs. Each activity not only focuses on specific elements of the learning process but also feels like an exhilarating game, designed to be fun and entertaining.

The music in Preschool Playhouse is professionally recorded and written exclusively for the app. Four unique sing-alongs are a few of the special activities throughout the app. The sing-alongs include The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Rub a Dub Dub, I Love The Mountains, and The Mulberry Bush. Each song features exciting interactions and words to follow along. In addition to the sing-alongs, there is a musical garden that entices the user to explore and play along with a guitar, ukulele or banjo. The interactive elements across the screen are all in the same key of each song, making music creation a breeze. The musical experience engages children and assists in learning the basics of rhythm and pitch.

Fairytale Studios takes children's online safety and parental control as a top priority. Preschool Playhouse contains no ads, no personal information gathering, no social network integration, and no in-app purchases. Just as safe as reading a book or playing a game from your very own shelf.

Preschool Playhouse is available now for iPhone and iPad on the Apple App Store. To celebrate the release, the app is available for $0.99 for a limited time.

Analytics Tool Unveils True Power of Facebook Ads - Published on 11/05/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Adways Interactive announces the official launch of the Party Track platform, a tool to provide mobile app developers with highly accurate user acquisition and retention analytics. Combined with a simple pricing model that allows developers to better predict and manage their costs, Party Track provides the most accurate analytics for app marketers. By partnering with Facebook as a Preferred Marketing Developer, the SDK also allows the tracking of Facebook's recently launched mobile ad product.

San Francisco, California - Adways Interactive announces the official launch of the Party Track platform, a tool to provide mobile app developers with highly accurate user acquisition and retention analytics, combined with a simple pricing model that allows developers to better predict and manage their costs. By partnering with Facebook as a Preferred Marketing Developer, Party Track also allows the tracking of Facebook's recently launched mobile ad product. During several months of beta testing with some of the world's top gaming companies, Adways has discovered that users acquired from mobile Facebook ads not only outperformed users from other advertising networks, but also significantly outperformed organic users in terms of retention across multiple time periods.

These staggering numbers uncovered by the Party Track platform are incredibly valuable to mobile app developers who are increasingly understanding the importance of not just acquiring users in the most cost-effective manner, but interpreting the quality of the user - often measured by the number of days they continue to use the app. Unlike competing analytics platforms that charge developers for each app usage "event" such as an app launch, and which analytics costs can't be budgeted ahead of time, Party Track has a simplified pricing model that provides lifetime analytics for a single upfront cost of $0.10 per install that comes from an advertisement, and does not charge for organic installs.

Party Track is meant to be a truly global tool, which offers several unique features to support developers in other countries: Customized time-zone reporting, so that results can be shown relative to local time zones, as well as support for multiple languages in its dashboard. Furthermore, different tracking methods, such as device fingerprinting, have varying levels of accuracy depending on the region of the user. By integrating a combination of mobile app tracking methods that dynamically adapt based on location, Party Track provides the most accurate analytics for app marketers.

"Mobile advertising analytics are paramount to any developers' success in the industry," said Ken Asukura, CEO of Adways US. "The first rule of advertising is 'know your audience,' and the Party Track platform gives marketers and developers the opportunity to know their audience better than any other analytics SDK. Apps are built for a global marketplace, and Party Track's dashboard was created with that in mind, and we're really excited about its potential to help a lot of people."
