Coach Guitar - Learn to play guitar without theory or tabs - Published on 12/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paris based developer, Manomaya SAS today announces Coach Guitar 2.0.1 for iOS, an update to its visual guitar teaching app. Coach Guitar is solely based on a visual method so users can learn how to play popular songs on their acoustic guitar without knowledge of either music theory or tablature. Recorded in HD format, each lesson is comprised of videos and an animated fretboard that shows right and left-handed users how to play a song step-by-step.

Paris, France - Manomaya SAS today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Coach Guitar 2.0.1, an update to its visual guitar teaching app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Coach Guitar is solely based on a visual method so users can learn how to play popular songs on their acoustic guitar without knowledge of either music theory or tablature. Coach Guitar includes songs for all levels of ability including Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Each song is broken down into short video tutorials that include step-by-step instructions. Users learn the song by watching the highly detailed, high definition video clips that display the guitar neck, strings and fingering. There is also an animated fretboard to show the user correct fingering and which strings to strum. The black fretboard represents the guitar neck and colored dots represent each finger. To assist with the learning process, videos can be slowed down and looped.

"Personally, I enjoyed how the app presents the songs." says Patrick Garde of iPadAppsReviewer (Dec. 1, 2013). "The videos are broken down into different sections from Intro to various Parts. As soon as the video plays, it also stops by design after every change of chords. It will give you much needed time to put it into practice before getting to the next one. If you are having a hard time, you can press the slow motion playback feature which will reduce the speed of the video. The app will show you where to place your fingers and which strings you need to strum. Whether you are a righty or a southpaw, you will easily learn to play the guitar with its video lessons and the ability to loop tutorials. Even if you can't read music notes or guitar tabs, even if you are a beginner, you will be comfortable in no time. Plus, it's definitely a lot cheaper than enrolling in personal guitar lessons."

Feature Highlights:
* Step-by-step guitar training
* Redesigned interface for a better and smarter experience
* No previous knowledge of music theory or guitar tablature necessary
* Video lessons in HD
* Ability to view training videos in slow motion or loop
* Animated color-coded fretboard
* Backing track with voice
* Left-handed and right-handed views
* Structure and chords diagram
* Guitar tabs included
* Social integration with Facebook and ability to share progress with friends
* Songs for all levels including Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced
* Extensive guitar lesson library
* New songs added to the library each week

In addition to several bug fixes, version 2.0.1 includes a completely redesigned interface. Users can now browse lessons in the new library by filtering according to difficulty, date, top sales, and alphabetical. Coach Guitar allows users to unlock badges, reach new level skills and share progress with friends on Facebook. Additionally, the new activity feed shows what has been achieved in Coach Guitar.

"When I first started learning guitar a couple of years ago," says Tucker Cummings of tapscape.com (Nov. 18, 2013), "I used a variety of apps to help me get my bearings. Almost all of the apps disappointed me, either because the quality of the lessons was low or because the interface was clumsy. Having tried so many other guitar teaching apps, I feel confident in saying that Coach Guitar is one of the best. You can see both right and left-handed orientations, there are tons of video lessons, and you can loop tutorials or view an animated, color-coded fretboard. You don't need to be able to read music, or even read guitar tabs. Even the most beginner of beginners will feel right at home. Overall, Coach Guitar has a stellar interface. It is easy to use this app to build your skills and your musical confidence.

High School Spanish App is Giving Away In-App Purchase For The Holidays - Published on 12/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Common Ground International announced a Holiday Special for the latest version of their High School Spanish - 5 Essential Tools to Study Spanish & Learn Vocabulary app. The Quizlet Flashcard integration, normally an in-app purchase, is available for free for a limited time. This all-in-one Spanish study app, developed by Spanish teachers, gives students everything they need to get better grades, and even prepare for a trip abroad.

Denver, Colorado - Common Ground International announced a Holiday Special for the latest version of their High School Spanish - 5 Essential Tools to Study Spanish & Learn Vocabulary app. Available for $4.99 on the App Store, the Quizlet Flashcard integration, normally an in-app purchase, is available for free for a limited time. This special holiday offer is available from December 20, 2013 to January 01, 2014.

This all-in-one Spanish study app, developed by Spanish teachers, gives students everything they need to get better grades, and even prepare for a trip abroad. The app is useful for students at all levels: Spanish 1 through Spanish 4, including AP Spanish, IB Spanish, and even college courses. The app includes tools for mastering Spanish vocabulary and grammar, as well as Spanish reading and listening comprehension. "Our High School Spanish app is a great study aid," said Rory Foster, owner of Common Ground International. "Students use it to prepare for Spanish tests, improve their grades, and increase their proficiency in the language. We developed this app alongside a team of seasoned instructors with real-world experience in language acquisition, so our users can speak Spanish with confidence."

The app includes five main sections, starting with a comprehensive Spanish dictionary and thesaurus with over 33,000 entries. The interactive dictionary allows for a bilingual word search, includes a "translate" function if the word isn't already in the dictionary, and allows for users to hear Spanish words pronounced. Words can also be added from the Spanish dictionary to the Spanish flashcards for easy study later on.

"The Flashcards feature also makes for a great study aid," added Foster. "We've selected the most important Spanish vocabulary words in a pre-made set of Flashcards, which are organized by theme and category. Of course, additional words can be added directly to the Flashcard section for customized study." Integrated within the Flashcards section of the app is the Quizlet flashcard feature, which is normally available as an in-app purchase, but now being offered for free for a limited time. Quizlet.com is an enormous bank of online flashcards that High School Spanish App users can now access and import directly into their mobile device.

The app also includes a Spanish Grammar module with study tools including mnemonics and songs. Even difficult topics like Ser vs Estar, Por vs Para, Preterit vs Imperfect, and Subjunctive vs Indicative are covered, along with verb conjugations in all tenses.

High School Spanish even makes it easy for students to write papers in Spanish. The Quick Tips and formatting reference provide students with a handy guide, along with special lists of transition and composition words that make writing Spanish papers a breeze.

The Reading/Listening comprehension section, modeled after AP Spanish comprehension tests, is also a great way to study and prep for exams. Users select authentic and culturally relevant texts for reading comprehension practice. After reading the selection, they respond to multiple choice questions and get their scores immediately. The listening comprehension practice section works similarly; users listen to pre-recorded selections about various topics and respond to related oral questions, and get their scores immediately. If users make a mistake, they're given the option to see or listen to a hint from the original selection in order to help them correct their mistake.

High School Spanish App also offers free premium content for registered users on the application's website. In addition to the app, Common Ground runs Spanish immersion programs in Costa Rica, and specializes in industry-specific Spanish and English language training.

Features:
* Spanish Dictionary and Thesaurus
* Spanish Grammar reference at your fingertips
* Spanish Writing Tips
* Spanish Vocabulary Flashcards
* Spanish Comprehension Tests

Device Requirements:
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

New Faded photo app for iOS fills major gap in the App Store - Published on 12/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Vintage Noir, LLC today introduces Faded 1.0, the premiere all-in-one photo app for iOS devices. Faded features the most powerful editing tools currently available, offering gorgeous film-inspired effects that will make photo enthusiasts weak in the knees. The app comes with 70 exclusive filters; 34 for free and 36 additional premium filters available for in-app purchase. They capture the beauty and nostalgia of classic film.

Orange, California - By the end of 2013, Apple's App Store will have over 1 million apps. With so many choices, it's easy to think there's no room for something truly unique, but that would be the wrong conclusion. Faded is out to prove that other photo apps are at best incomplete and at worst obsolete.

Faded is the premiere all-in-one photo app for iPhone with the most powerful editing tools currently available and gorgeous film-inspired effects that will make photo enthusiasts weak in the knees. The app comes with 70 exclusive filters - 34 for free and 36 additional premium filters available for in-app purchase. They capture the beauty and nostalgia of classic film.

The resemblance was intentional. "Our main goal was to give people tools to express themselves and make their photos truly unique," said Tyler Ramsey, Faded's lead designer. "We set out to create the best photo app in the App Store. But my brother and I grew up California so we thought it would be fun to give a nod to Hollywood too."

Faded's full capabilities are impressive to say the least. Hobbyists will appreciate a bottomless well of features, custom filters, and cool effects, such as double exposure.

Dedicated photographers will find in the app many of the pro-level features they've been missing in other apps. For example, you can access the complete adjustment history of any image, revert back to any point in the editing process, and save your specific edits as your own personalized filter, or "action."

An iOS photo app with custom actions? It's about time. And speaking of time, Faded has a snap timer. This photo app will leave you saying, "Faded, where have you been all my life?"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 56.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Faded 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.
