The Padcaster for iPad Air Now Available for Pre-Order - Published on 12/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Padcaster, a revolutionary iPad case that transforms Apple's tablet into an on-the-go production studio, just announced the newest addition to its family of products: The Padcaster for iPad Air. iPad Air is a thinner, lighter and all around superior version of its predecessor. With 1080p HD video recording, tap to focus, video stabilization, 3x video zoom and other enhancements, iPad Air's video recording capabilities are vastly improved from that of previous generations.

Based in New York - The Padcaster, a revolutionary iPad case that transforms Apple's tablet into an on-the-go production studio, just announced the newest addition to its family of products: The Padcaster for iPad Air. The latest iPad to hit the market, iPad Air is a thinner, lighter and all around superior version of its predecessor. With 1080p HD video recording, tap to focus, video stabilization, 3x video zoom and other enhancements, iPad Air's video recording capabilities are vastly improved from that of previous generations. Combined with the new A7 chip, which provides 64-bit architecture, advanced graphics and improved image signal processing, iPad Air is the fastest and best performing iPad yet, making it an even better match for The Padcaster. iPad Air owners wishing to hit the streets and shoot better video can pre-order The Padcaster for iPad Air now. Luckily for existing Padcaster users ready to make the switch to iPad Air, the Padcaster Air Adapter is also available now
for pre-order, ready to transform the Padcaster into the perfect fit for iPad Air.

Topping the Charts This Holiday Season:
The Padcaster was recently named one of Moviemaker Magazine's top 25 Indie-Friendly Businesses of 2013. It was also listed on Network World's holiday gift guide for photo and video fans. "This product is devilishly simple. [...] Insert your iPad, mount The Padcaster on a tripod, attach whatever lighting and other accessories you desire, and shoot away," states C.J. Mathias, Network World. He adds, "The Padcaster allows an iPad to be secured for both field and studio work. Shaky-cam be gone!"

From Padcasting to Broadcasting:
Making a name for itself as a serious film and videography tool, The Padcaster continues to find its way into the hands of journalists, videographers and more. Recently, students from Stony Brook University's journalism program used it to report remotely from the school's homecoming celebrations. Additionally, Chris Carpenter, a curator and livestreamer for TEDxIndianapolis, found The Padcaster to be the ideal solution for producing footage of TEDx conferences. "The Padcaster was the catalyst that birthed the 'what if/why not' scenarios with storytelling that seemed out of reach with higher-end professional equipment," states Carpenter. "The Padcaster has removed some significant barriers to the quality of footage, which only enhances the already sound features of the iPad as a platform. The right easel makes a world of difference in your ability to birth an image on a canvas."

Habit List gets major iOS 7 redesign, new features and speed increases - Published on 12/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

App developers Scott Dunlap and Gerard Gualberto today is proud to announce Habit List gets a complete overhaul for iOS 7. This update includes beautiful typography and transitions, new features, and even more ways to track your progress. Habit List motivates you by building streaks, keeps you on track with reminders, and has a beautiful, uncluttered interface. It's perfect for big goals, like running a marathon, or smaller ones, like drinking 8 glasses of water each day.

Westhampton, Massachusetts - Just in time for New Year's resolutions, Habit List gets a complete overhaul for iOS 7. This update includes beautiful typography and transitions, new features, and even more ways to track your progress. Habit List motivates you by building streaks, keeps you on track with reminders, and has an uncluttered interface to keep you focused on what's important. It's perfect for big goals, like running a marathon, or smaller ones, like drinking 8 glasses of water each day.

"We focus on willpower and getting motivated, when we should be building good habits" co-founder Scott Dunlap explains. "We all have plenty of motivation: we want to lose 10 pounds, save up for a new house, or floss every night. Most of us rely on willpower to reach our goals, but eventually it runs out. Research shows that you only have a limited supply of willpower and it gets depleted over the course of a day. To make real changes that last, habits are your best bet. We've built a simple and intuitive app that creates healthy habits to reach your goals."

Key features include:

Get motivated with streaks - Keeping streaks alive is a powerful motivator. See how high you can go, then try to beat your personal best. Red badges mean you've slacked and need to get back on track. Gray badges are optional, missing them won't break your streak. Green means go, complete it today!

Focus on what's due - No need to wade through all your habits to figure out what to do, Habit List only shows what's due today. And you can set the default order for your habits, so items that you'll complete first are at the top of your list. Tap today and you'll see your completion percentage for the day.

Stay on track with reminders and badges - Habits are powerful because they're automatic, but while you're building routines, reminders are indispensable. App badges show the number of remaining habits for the day, great for reminding you to complete your list. You can even set a daily review reminder to get in the habit of using the app.

View trends over time - Step back and see the big picture with weekly and monthly completion percentages. Bar colors range from green to red and give a visual indicator of how you're doing.

Flexible scheduling - Choose from 3 kinds of schedules: Specific Days, Non-specific Days, or Intervals. So you can schedule your workouts M-W-F, bring lunch to work any 4 days per week, or write a blog post every 2-3 days. No matter what the habit, you're covered.

Track your progress - See your history at a glance and gain insight into what's working (or isn't). Always miss your Friday workout? Maybe a different day or early morning routine would work better. Habit List also tracks your personal best (longest streak) and total completions.

No detail too small - Going on vacation? Skip habits without breaking your streak. Miss a habit early in the day? Mark it as missed to keep your list uncluttered. You can also customize Habit List with a different font, change the week start date, export your data (JSON format), and keep things private with a passcode. Speaking of privacy, we don't require you to set up an account, don't track your habits, and your data is 100% private.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Habit List 3.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Create an A-List for your iPhone with VIPaLIST App - Published on 12/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The VIPaLIST app from gRock Media Group announced the release of a feature-rich call manager app for the iPhone, giving users a simplified & efficient way to group good callers/contacts into their own "A List" for priority. With a simple tap on a contact name, contacts get "A-Listed"; for priority rings, while "D-List" bad contacts go straight to voicemail without the phone ringing or screen illuminating. The app solves a vexing problem for iPhone users.

Dallas, Texas - The VIPaLIST app from gRock Media Group announced the release of a feature-rich call manager app for the iPhone, giving users a simplified & efficient way to group good callers/contacts into their own "A List" for priority. With a simple tap on a contact name, contacts get "A-Listed"; for priority rings, while "D-List" bad contacts go straight to voicemail without the phone ringing or screen illuminating.

The app solves a vexing problem for iPhone users. With an easily-managed call management function, VIPaLIST lets users determine who they want to talk too, when they want to talk to them and also where. Piling on many more useful features to the iPhone's basic "Do Not Disturb" function, the VIPaLIST can be used to manage contacts from any cell phone, landline, VoIP service & hidden numbers (local & international).

There's a lot more to VIPaLIST's call management features, which now gives iPhone users a complete tool for managing who gets through, who goes to voicemail, and under which conditions. Too busy to answer your phone now? Don't be disturbed. Respond later. The "Place" mode lets users choose callers they want to get through at specific locations. "How many times have you received unwanted calls at the office, or any location you might not want a particular person or persons to call?" said app creator Femi Olu. "Our 'Place' mode lets you create a "Place" list, where for example, co-workers and colleagues automatically go to the A-List during working hours but go straight to voicemail after hours once you you travel out of that location automatically." The app lets users create and view saved places, and the Map View displays current locations on a map. Using the phone's built-in GPS, VIPaLIST also notifies users whenever they enter or exit a new Place.

VIPaLIST also allows users to create special groups, such as family, co-workers, friends, etc..., so users can either allow, or silence them with a single screen tap.

VIPaLIST lets you choose your friends wisely. Who will make your A-List? VIPaLIST makes your iPhone fit for a VIP A-List star or celebrity. Be boss, be a Diva, be in control! Now available for just $1.99 on the iTunes store, VIPaLIST requires iOS 6.0 or later, and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Features:
* Group calls by category or caller to allow them to ring through, or go to voicemail
* Allow callers in a specific group to ring through only while you are in a specific geographic location
* Silence any mobile/cell calls
* Silence any landline calls
* Silence any international calls
* Silence any Viber, Tango, or VoIP calls

Austin, Texas - Ashlar-Vellum announces the official release of Graphite version 9, their 2D/3D wireframe drafting program on both Mac and Windows. Graphite v9 precision CAD software has been upgraded with new and enhanced features.

DCI Releases Infographic on Ways to Drive App Sales This Holiday Season - Published on 12/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dot Com Infoway (DCI), a leading provider of offshore IT outsourcing solutions to businesses across the globe, announced the release of its newest infographic, "Eight Ways to Strike Gold at the App Store This Holiday Season." The infographic offers insight and guidance to app developers, with an in-depth look at what makes App Store sales soar, and solid ways to make sales hit new highs during the holiday season.

Based in New York - Dot Com Infoway (DCI), a leading provider of offshore IT outsourcing solutions to businesses across the globe, announced the release of its newest infographic, "Eight Ways to Strike Gold at the App Store This Holiday Season." The infographic offers insight and guidance to app developers, with an in-depth look at what makes App Store sales soar, and solid ways to make sales hit new highs during the holiday season.

Based on statistics in the infographic, 1.76 billion apps were downloaded globally during the 2012 Christmas season. This year, more than two billion downloads are expected, with Christmas Day seeing huge sales.

"We've seen major changes in the small app industry over the past few years," said C.R. Venkatesh, CEO of Dot Com Infoway. "App developers have a tremendous opportunity to build a significant business, and we see the market continuing to grow, as mobile devices become a much larger part of the tech industry."

Dot Com Infoway's experts offer insight into how developers can make the most of the holiday spending frenzy, reminding developers that for a certain period of time in the holiday season, Apple stops accepting and reviewing applications. During this time, it will also not be possible to modify or update existing apps. Developers will also want to schedule version updates appropriately, since apps rank higher right after the update has been released.

App developers must compete for a top spot in the App Store, and it is, without a doubt, a highly competitive market. "In addition to a high level of quality in the app itself, developers have to go beyond creation to embrace the marketing end of their businesses," said Venkatesh. "This means paying attention to optimizing their App Store listing, creating a strong holiday promotion plan, and maximizing the advertising budget and timing it to match promotions."

Dot Com Infoway's experts and consultants are backed by years of experience in developing and marketing apps. With their finger on the pulse of the market, DCI is well-positioned to know precisely what works best for developers, and how to best maximize sales.

Knicket App Search Introduces New Features - Published on 12/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Berlin-based Echtzeiten GmbH introduces the search for new apps and to add videos for all listed apps by developers. Knicket is a new, fast search engine that filters results by using an innovative tagging system, a price slider and many more options to get the best app or mobile game for any query. The service works with an asynchronous database to provide a near real-time search experience. Knicket allows to search the app stores in depth, before downloading or purchasing an app.

Berlin, Germany - People find apps and mobile games mostly through the appstores. But to search there for specific apps is disappointing, due to a lack of filters and tools to narrow down endless result lists.

Since November 2013 App Search engine Knicket is trying to solve this problem. The latest feature being added is the search especially for new apps. In all categories apps now are marked for being younger than two weeks. That makes it easy to spot the latest games and apps in any genre. Also search terms like "new puzzle apps" will bring up the new games of this genre first. Knicket is the first engine that allows this kind of sorting besides many other filters like the priceslider, the minimum rating filter, the in-app-purchase filter and the appmesh.

Another new feature is to add videos for apps. Developers just need to send the youtube ID of their chosen video (the row of characters and digits at the end of the Youtube URL) and the Knicket code of their own app (the row of characters and digits of the URL between "details/" and "/"iphone") to the contact mail adress of knicket and the video(s) will be added. It�s possible to submit more than one video - so video reviews, gameplay videos or walkthroughs are all appreciated and can be added. The videos must come directly from developers for their own apps though.

Also comments are now enabled for everyone and every app listed at Knicket. The widget is driven by facebook and connected with it.

About Knicket:
Knicket is a new, fast search engine for iOS and Android apps that narrows down search results by using an innovative tagging system, a price slider and many other filters to get the best app or mobile game for any query. The animated appmesh discovers related apps and mobile games to a user�s favorite games.

Knicket is striving to be the number one ressource to find apps and put the user back in control over more than one million apps in each one of both major App Stores. Knicket is covering Android, iPhone and iPad apps. It focuses on the english speaking countries like the United States, UK and Australia.
