Stunning new photo effects app LoryStripes 1.1 now available for iPad - Published on 11/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixite LLC, in partnership with Italian architect and designer Laurent Rosset, today announce LoryStripes 1.1, an update to their leading photo effects app for iOS. LoryStripes allows users to completely reinvent their photos through a dynamic technique using graphically mesmerizing three-dimensional stripes. Users can alter, enhance and embellish their images by selecting from an assortment of intriguing 3D graphic ribbons and stripes. Version 1.1 now supports both the iPhone and the iPad.

San Diego, California - Fresh off the massive success of their most recent photo app Tangent, the photo app development team at Pixite LLC, in partnership with renowned Italian architect and designer Laurent Rosset, is excited to announce the release of LoryStripes Version 1.1. LoryStripes is a one-of-a-kind photo enhancement effects app that allows users to completely reinvent their photos through a dynamic technique using graphically mesmerizing three-dimensional stripes.

With a highly successful launch that includes being featured in the App Store's Best New Apps section in over 39 countries, LoryStripes has quickly become one of this year's "must have" apps. This latest 1.1 update also features support for both the iPhone and the iPad, a welcome addition for iPad aficionados.

In the realm of photo enhancement apps, LoryStripes approach is as breathtaking as it is unique. LoryStripes lets users alter, enhance and embellish their images by selecting from an assortment of intriguing 3D graphic ribbons and stripes. These various "Stripes" can actually be manipulated on a three-dimensional plane to create visually arresting angles, and can be scaled, positioned and tweaked at will, allowing LoryStripes users to take full advantage of the graphic realm.

Additionally, users can choose from a diverse palette of colors, shades and blends, and can also remove sections of the "Stripes" with eraser tools, adding a completely new dimension to their photos. Many users have actually woven stripes seamlessly through windows, doorways and around objects to create surrealistic works of art. While professional graphic artists have used similar techniques in advertising and artwork, this is the first time these techniques have been accessible to both artists and novices alike.

Once LoryStripes users have enhanced their photos, they can either opt to share their creations through Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with just a tap, or "ReStripe," a feature that allows the user to save their creation and continue adding additional 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 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 the 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 both the iPhone and iPad, it's easier than ever to add style and elegance to any digital photo."

LoryStripes unique 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

Wattpad Reaches 10 Million Downloads for its Free Book Reader App - Published on 11/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Wattpad free book reader app recently passed ten million global downloads and reached top five status in the Books category in a growing list of countries for its popular downloadable free book app for iPad, and iPhone. The Wattpad app makes it possible to access one of the world's largest, ever-growing library of free downloadable books and stories. Wattpad is the world's largest community of readers and writers; 20 million people spend 4.5 billion minutes a month on Wattpad.

Toronto, Canada - The Wattpad free book reader app recently passed ten million global downloads and reached top five status in the Books category in a growing list of countries for its popular downloadable free book app for iOS, iPad, and iPhone. Wattpad is the world's largest community of readers and writers; 20 million people spend 4.5 billion minutes a month on Wattpad.

The Wattpad app makes it possible to access one of the world's largest, ever-growing library of free downloadable books and stories. It consistently ranks in the top five ebook reader apps in North America and has now reached number one status in the Philippines and top five status for Book apps in Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Denmark, Panama, Peru, Spain and other countries.

Standing out in the Books Category in North America and Beyond:
Most apps in the Books category and most free book reader apps concentrate on delivering books in a few languages, from selected publishers, or to only one digital reading platform. The Wattpad books app stands out not only for the volume of free books and stories it makes available - over 30 million uploads and every day 80,000 are added - but by the range of books. Popular genres on Wattpad include romance, fan fiction, sci-fi, horror, teen, young adult, thriller and poetry.

Another defining aspect of the Wattpad free books app is that in addition to offering great free books and stories to read it's also a tool that lets users write their own downloadable stories. Every day 80,000 new uploads are created this way with the majority of them being shared or experienced via mobile devices loaded with the free Wattpad app.

The Wattpad app is also truly interactive by offering readers a chance to interact with writers and other readers. If a reader loves a story they can comment on that story, ask the writer a question, suggest a new character or chapter, become a "fan" who gets story updates via the Wattpad app, and vote for their favorite free stories and books.

These features - and the fact that the Wattpad app provides access to downloadable free books in over 30 languages, and can sync across devices and platforms--has helped Wattpad stand out in the Books category beyond the North American market.

Features:
* Over 30 million free book and story uploads: the best of sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, romance, fan fiction, thrillers, and much more
* Get free book and story updates directly from authors
* Read offline and customize reading settings to personalize the experience
* Synchronize a Wattpad library between your phone, tablet and Wattpad online
* Write stories and publish them for others to read
* Connect with favorite writers such as Margaret Atwood, Paulo Coelho, and thousands of aspiring writers from across the globe
* Free books and stories are accessible in over 30 different languages
* Clean interface that makes it easy to read and add free stories to your library

Global Stats
* 20 million people spend 4.5 billions minutes a month on Wattpad; 80% of this interaction is via mobile devices
* Wattpad books and stories are downloaded, read and written in 30+ languages
* Over 30 million uploads on Wattpad, with 80,000 new uploads added every day

Platforms:

All these are clearly arranged in the user interface, and can be extensively searched. For numerous photo and video formats, NeoFinder generates thumbnails during cataloging, displaying them in all list and icon views.

Integration - Offering a tight connection to major productivity tools, such as Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, Roxio Toast, FileMaker Pro, Apples Spotlight and Finder, and the extensive support of drag&drop into other applications, NeoFinder can support many workflow scenarios.

Geotagging - Only NeoFinder offers the integrated GeoFinder, which searches for photos taken near a spot, or the KMZ export for coordinates and photo thumbnails as a way to give geolocated photos to friends. NeoFinder can even geotag photos itself, no other software needed. And only NeoFinder displays amazing facts about any geolocation in the Wikipedia Inspector.

Networking - Store your catalog database on a server for access from all Macs in the network, and with the sidekick product abeMeda (was CDWinder for Windows) even from Microsoft Windows.
