London, United Kingdom - Independent Developer Vivid Games today announced the latest update to its hit title Real Boxing on iOS and Android. The new version introduces extended support for iOS7 controllers and Android gaming tablet Wikipad. Vivid's collaboration with MMA and boxing clothing brand PunchTown means that players can also now enjoy a "PunchTown Pack" of downloadable content such as highly stylised boots, gloves, shorts and tattoos to enhance their fighter's appearance and performance.

Real Boxing's new compatibility with iOS 7 controllers and the Wikipad gaming tablet allows players to fight in multiple tournaments and real-world venues using analogue controls instead of touch screen. In addition, a new and improved multiplayer function that enables players to easily locate more opponents in a shorter space of time delivers a heightened gaming experience. To mark the launch in time for the holiday season, Vivid has also added snow effects and ring girls in santa costumes to the game for a limited period to give things a special festive flair.

Real Boxing features an immersive Career Mode in which players compete in multiple tournaments staged in real-world venues in their quest to become World Champion. To compete for the title, players must take on over 30 opponents, each with their own unique fighting style. Players can also improve their boxer's core skills through a series of mini games including skipping rope, heavy bag and mini bag training drills. Real Boxing now also includes a wager system that enables gamers to bet in-game currency on the outcome of their own fight and win more coins that can then be used to unlock new items and upgrades. Players are also able to use their virtual currency to buy lottery tickets that give them a chance of winning a temporary performance-enhancing boost in matches.

Update Highlights:

TraxItAll iPhone App for Goals and Resolutions: Free This Week Only - Published on 12/23/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TraxItAll Software announced today that TraxItAll is now being offered for free, for the first time ever. TraxItAll 1.3.1 is a patented iPhone app for setting goals, building habits, and daily tracking, It employs a unique, three-fold tracking method to enable users to track anything they need to track on a daily basis. This special promotion is for this week only, to encourage users to get ready for the New Year by helping them track their New Year's resolutions.

Chicago, Illinois - TraxItAll Software announced today that TraxItAll, its patented iPhone app for setting goals, building habits, and daily tracking, is now being offered for free, for the first time ever. (The regular price $1.99). This special promotion is for this week only, to encourage users to get ready for the New Year by helping them track their New Year's resolutions.

TraxItAll employs a unique, three-fold tracking method to enable users to track anything they need to track on a daily basis: Push ups, their weight, sales calls, blood sugar, 401k values, pill taking, whether or not they worked out, stock prices, billable hours, miles run, or anything else that matters to them. Whatever users want to track, they can track with TraxItall.

Users can add notes to their entries, set goals, and quickly see how they're performing in relation to those goals, using TraxItAll' s special Goal-Bar report. According to David Canfield, president of TraxItAll Software, "At the turn of the New Year many people naturally begin to think about setting goals and making resolutions for the coming year. But, if they don't write their goals down, or if they don't have a way to actually keep track of their progress, they will almost surely forget about those goals and resolutions very soon after the new year begins."

He goes on: "That's where the TraxItAll iPhone app comes in; it's been called a 'personal accountability tool,' and it really helps people reach their goals and keep their New Year's resolutions. We've had a lot of very positive feedback from our users, and it's always very gratifying to hear how our product has helped people in this regard."

"TraxItAll uses the slogan, 'Measurement is Motivation' (TM), because it's widely recognized that measuring your progress is a basic requirement for effective goal-setting; without such tracking, you have no way of knowing how you're actually doing. In contrast, tracking your progress makes you genuinely accountable to yourself for doing what you committed to do, which is a powerful motivator. That's exactly what TraxItAll is designed to do."

How TraxItAll Works:
The core of TraxItAll is its three-fold tracking method (U.S. Patent No. 8,155,997), i.e., for each item a user wants to track, they select one of three different tracking methods for recording their data:

* Count: How many times did something happen on a given day?
How many sales calls did I make? How many hours did I bill? How many miles did I run?

* Yes/No: Did something happen or not?
Did I work out? Did I Take my pills? Was I cigarette-free?

* Average: What was something's level?
What was my weight? My blood sugar? My cholesterol? The value of my 401k? The price of my stock?

This three-fold tracking method makes TraxItAll very flexible and powerful, and yet at the same time surprisingly simple and easy to use. In addition, TraxItAll's unique "Goal Bar" shows users their progress in graphic format; as users get closer to reaching their goal, the bar changes color from red to blue. Users can also email their reports to family members, friends, colleagues, teachers, or whoever else needs to see how they're doing.

Some Highlights from App Store Reviews:

"In the past I had so many problems staying motivated. Being able to track my progress has helped me so much in accomplishing my goals. This app is brilliant. I love it!" - U.S.

"This is one of those aps that I would just not want to be without now." - U.K.

"Best organiser app so far for me. I've trawled the app store for apps of this nature, but traxitall trumps them all. It's a 5 star app. It's like having a PA, that how good this application is. Well done guys." - U.K.

"For the quick, simple, yet effective tracking of those things I want to keep track of several times a day or week, TraxItAll has become my app of choice." - U.S.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* iOS 7 Compatible - Runs on all iOS versions 4.0 or later
* 4.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TraxItAll 1.3.1 is regularly $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies), but is being offered for free this week only. It is available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Productivity category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Art Authority today announced that their flagship Art Authority for iPad app now includes the ability to view Internet-based videos on hundreds of its key works of art. Art Authority for iPad transports you to an enthralling, real-world art museum filled with works by over 1,000 of the western world's greatest artists, from ancient times to today. Art Authority for iPad 4.9.1 displays a video button on the plaque beneath any work of art for which a video is available.

Ashland, Oregon - Art Authority, developers of the award-winning line of classic art apps, today announced that their flagship Art Authority for iPad app now includes the ability to view Internet-based videos on hundreds of its key works. Art Authority for iPad 4.9.1, available through the App Store, displays a video button on the plaque beneath any work of art for which a video is available. The videos, usually a few minutes in length, discuss and visually convey aspects of the work itself, its surroundings, related works, historical context and other important facts.

"Along with our recently added 'Art Real Size' feature, the new videos further our goal of providing as many different ways as possible to explore, learn about, understand and enjoy classic works of art," said Alan Oppenheimer, president of Art Authority.

Art Authority for iPad 4.9.1 is $9.99 through the App Store. Upgrades from previous versions are free. iOS 6 or later is needed to view the videos. All the details of the Art Authority line of apps are available on the Art Authority Web site and blog.

Art Authority for iPad is the only iPad Reference app named to both of Apple's Rewind "best of" lists. It brings 70,000 high-resolution classic works of art to users' fingertips. Hailed as "an experience unlike any other" and "visually dazzling," the app (along with its K-12 age-appropriate edition) professionally displays paintings and sculptures by over 1000 major western artists from ancient times through current-day. Art Authority for Macintosh and iPhone bring similar functionality to these devices.

Art Authority is the product of an innovative collaboration between two separate software companies, Open Door Networks and Project A. Art Authority's mission is the design, development and deployment of the best ways for users to experience art on their modern-day devices.
