iOS 7 Wallpaper Fix - Position your backgrounds like you want - Published on 12/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ever had a frustrating experience setting a picture as your iOS 7 wallpaper? App developer, Bernhard Obereder introduces Wallpaper Fix 1.0.1, a new utility app. iOS 7 needs wallpapers to be of specific dimensions in order to work properly with the parallax effect. Wallpaper Fix lets you freely resize, rotate and position your picture in order to use it as your custom iOS 7 wallpaper in seconds. Just position your picture the way you want to and Wallpaper Fix automatically does the rest for you.

Graz, Austria - Today mobile app developer Bernhard Obereder announced the release of a new utility app called Wallpaper Fix. One of the most annoying things users report about iOS 7 is the way it handles the placement and positioning of wallpapers. No matter how hard you try to pinch and drag your picture, which you were able to do in iOS 6 (the way you were able to do in iOS 6), iOS 7 zooms back out and creates often dissatisfying backgrounds. This is because there is only one way to position the background image and you can not influence that. These frustrating times are over thanks to Wallpaper Fix.

Wallpaper Fix lets you freely resize, rotate and position your picture in order to use it as your custom iOS 7 wallpaper in seconds. iOS 7 needs wallpapers to be of specific dimensions in order to work properly with the parallax effect. In Wallpaper Fix you just position your picture the way you want to and Wallpaper Fix automatically does the rest for you. It is as simple as that!

"When I switched to iOS 7 I could no longer use my favorite pictures as my wallpaper. I was very disappointed and decided to create a little app to fix my problem" said Bernhard Obereder, CEO of the Austrian mobile development company, "As I saw that this is a problem many users are running into, I chose to make my little helper called Wallpaper Fix public."

Language Support:
* English and German

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 5,5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wallpaper Fix 1.0.1 is now just $ 0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) for a limited time and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

New sleep sounds app drifts into the App Store with great results - Published on 12/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based app developer, Rory Buckley has announced the recent release of Sleep Sounds (Relaxing White Noise and Ambient Music) for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The Sleep Sounds app contains a variety of ambient nature sounds and gentle background music to help aid sleep and general relaxation. The sounds can be played individually or mixed together to allow the user to create their very own ambient sound experience. So far, the free app has achieved many high chart positions around the globe.

Devon, United Kingdom - App developer Rory Buckley is proud to announce the release of Sleep Sounds (Relaxing White Noise and Ambient Music) for iOS devices. The app contains a variety of nature sounds & ambient background music to help promote sleep aid and general relaxation. The sounds and music can either be played individually or mixed together, allowing the user to create their own custom relaxation experience.

The Sleep Sounds app has been developed with a clear and simple user interface, allowing the user to ease into their relaxation experience without any unnecessary actions. The nature sounds vary from ocean noise to gentle rain, with the added option of relaxing background music, such as piano or zen. Altogether the free version comes with 12 sounds, with an in-app purchase option to upgrade to unlock an additional 12.

With the app appealing towards users looking for general calming, help with sleeping or meditation etc, Rory Buckley felt it completely necessary to build a sleep timer function into the app. This feature comes with a large selection of preset times that can be set and activated with a single touch. Once the sleep timer fires, the app will turn off all playing sounds, allowing the users device to enter standby mode (saving much needed energy consumption). The app also allows the user to multitask, enabling the user to do other tasks (email, safari, use other apps etc) while the sounds are playing.

Since its very recent release, the Sleep Sounds app has had much success all around the globe, already topping many category top chart positions in a few countries. Rory Buckley is delighted with the success achieved by his new product so far, he has many big plans for the app over the next few months.

Blue Quoll Announces Upcoming Launch of New iOS App: The Three Bears - Published on 12/06/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Three Bears and Goldilocks, by independent developer Blue Quoll Digital, will be available for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 4 and 5 and iPod touch devices 13 december 2013. Recommended for children ages 2 , this interactive picture book App reinvents another timeless classic, with the charm and inventiveness that characterizes all Blue Quoll productions. The App is translated and narrated in 8 languages, has interactive PopUps throughout presenting extra narrated text and quirky sound effects.

Brisbane, Australia - Independent developer, Blue Quoll Digital has announced that its 'The Three Bears and Goldilocks' for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 4 and 5 and iPod touch will be available on the App Store on the 13th of December 2013. This interactive picture book app, recommended for children ages 2 reinvents and rejuvenates this timeless classic, with the charm, inventiveness and artistic value that characterises all Blue Quoll productions.

In this third instalment of the 'ReTold Tales' series, children will be able to read the story themselves or have it read by the narrators, they will also be able to interact with each page of the story by tapping on the illustrations and revealing either sounds or speech balloons which, for the first time, are narrated out loud in all languages.

"We have extended notably the functionality of the PopUp Tap and discover feature compared to our previous app, Mr Wolf and the Ginger Cupcakes and Puss in Boots" says Vincenzo Pignatelli, Artistic Director and Founder of Blue Quoll Digital. "We made sure it is worth exploring each page for children as they get rewarded both visually and acoustically by a popping balloon, a sound or the voice of characters this time fully narrated by our narrators. The obvious advantage of having the content of the balloons narrated is that the story is now more engaging than ever even for small children who can not yet read".

"It is getting increasingly difficult nowadays to ignite media attention using press releases for book apps, as expression such as 'gorgeous illustrations' or 'enchanting narration' are overused and are loosing their meaning" says Lucia Masciullo, lead Illustrator at Blue Quoll. "However our stories are truly beautiful as we spend unmeasurable time looking for really talented illustrators and original styles for our stories. This time the illustrations realised by Laura Wood, young and talented illustrator based in Melbourne, are vibrant, colourful and unique".

The Three Bears and Goldilocks App follows the release of top selling in Italy, Apple-featured, Mr Wolf and the Ginger Cupcakes and Puss in Boots, The Great adventure and it's going to be available in English, Italian, German, Spanish French, Simplified/Traditional Chinese and Japanese.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone4, 4s 5, 5s, iPod touch, iPad, iPad mini
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 89.2 MB
