IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Translator Speak and Translate 3.0.3 from Pavel Donov is built with a unique algorithm that automatically detects any of 100 foreign languages, and converts the dialogue into a user's preferred language. The new no-cost iOS and Android app also features multiple operation modes, a customized phrasebook, and is ideal for users who want to improve their pronunciation, competence and confidence in another language. Users without an Internet connection can save key phrases and access them offline.

Cupertino, California - People who want to communicate easily and effectively while traveling in a foreign country can now head to the App Store or Google Play, and download Pavel Donov's extraordinary new no-cost app Translator Speak and Translate. Translator Speak and Translate essentially turns an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a simultaneous interpreter. It's built with a unique algorithm that uses Google and Microsoft's translations services to detect any of 100 foreign languages, and convert the dialogue into a user's preferred language. This all happens automatically, which means that users don't have to click anything.

What's more, users without an Internet connection can save key phrases (e.g. "please take me to the airport" and so on) and access them offline, much like a personalized dictionary or phrasebook. At the same time, thanks to its voice playback/repeat function, Translator Speak and Translate works as a valuable language learning tool to help users improve their pronunciation, competence and confidence in another language. They can also adjust the quality of the recording for maximum comprehension, and see how much time is left in a recording.

Other unique Translator Speak and Translate features include:
* Multiple operation modes
* Simple and intuitive navigation
* Helpful pop-up tips
* Ability to filter and sort phrases by language pairs and categories (Basics, Business, Bank, Communication, Food/Drinks, Hotel, Help and Health)

* The option to save history on exit
* The ability to adjust the recording quality
* The option to manually set the language for each phrase

"While traveling can be fun and exciting, trying to communicate without knowing the local language can be frustrating, stressful and sometimes even dangerous," commented Pavel Donov. "And that's where Translator Speak and Translate is the ideal solution! Now, anyone can have a simultaneous interpreter on their device anytime, and anywhere. It's also perfect for learning a new language, and is like having one's own, private language tutor!"

Power APP AG introduces Bodyguard for iOS - Motion Detection App - Published on 12/31/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power APP AG today introduces Bodyguard 1.0.0, its new motion detection app developed for iOS devices. Bodyguard was developed specifically to use your iPhone's camera for area surveillance. The app triggers an alarm as soon as the device's camera detects any movement in the area it is tracking. Images from the camera are sent immediately to your e-mail address or to an alternative iPhone. Bodyguard is also triggered when the connector loses power or in case of a network loss.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Power APP AG today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Bodyguard 1.0.0, its new motion detection app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Bodyguard was developed specifically to use your iPhone's camera for area surveillance. The app triggers an alarm as soon as the device's camera detects any movement in the area it is tracking. The function of the app is based on Power APP's motion detection algorithm that is already in-use in other apps developed by the company.

After placing an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, the app can be started and immediately starts to track everything that is in the cameras line of sight. If movement is detected in this area, an alarm is triggered. Images from the camera are sent immediately to your e-mail address or to an alternative iPhone. Bodyguard is also triggered when the connector loses power or in case of a network loss.

Asked for the motivation to create the Bodyguard app Christian Schaffner, GM of Power APP explained: "The Bodyguard app was originally meant as a joke from a friend of mine. He tried our app Wake Me Up, and told us that he needs the opposite. He wanted an app that alerts him when his boss is closing in to his office when he is taking a nap. We found that there are other uses for such an app as well. Watching the entrance of your house while you are at work, using it as a baby phone, or any other occasion where you would like to be informed about what's happening at a remote area. With the release of the iPhone 6 we all had old iPhones that we didn't really need anymore. We figured that we are not the only one and gave this app a go, so that we have a use for our old iPhones."

Main Features:
* Loss of Network
* Loss of power at the connector
* The app takes a picture in case of an alert and send it to your e-mail or to an alternative phone

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1.1 or later
* 9.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Bodyguard - Motion detection 1.0.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

In honor of keeping this years resolutions, behavior change app developer 2Morrow has put their Top Three behavior change apps on sale through Jan 1st, 2015. Smartquit is clinically proven to help smokers quit. Healthy Habits helps people create healthier habits. My Pocket Coach keeps you focused on the little habits that lead to success.

Seattle, Washington - We all have things we want to change about ourselves, and we usually know what we need to do to make that change... so the challenge is not "what" we need to do, but "how" to get ourselves to do it. Here is a list of 3 top apps from 2Morrow that can help you deliver on your good intentions in 2015. In honor of those New Year goals, all three apps are on sale until Jan 1st, 2015.

#1. SmartQuit:
Smartquit is the first app clinically proven to help smokers quit. The lite version is free and lets you create a customized quit plan and track your urges to smoke. The full version offers short daily exercises that teach you unique ways to deal with your urges. The approach is based on ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) techniques that focus on learning how to accept your urges and be willing to live with them as you move toward your goal of being smoke free. The full version will set you back $50 unless you can get access through your employer or state. The certificate of completion may even earn you a discount on your insurance (check with your employer!). 2Morrow has collaborated with an internationally renowned cancer research institute to address nicotine addiction. Our mobile smoking cessation program is the only smartphone-based program proven effective in a randomized control trial. The SmartQuit approach was created by Dr. Jonathan Bricker and was shown to be
effective in a randomized control trial done at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

#2. Healthy Habits:
Healthy Habits won the US Surgeon General Health App Challenge for its innovative approach to helping people create healthier habits. Users are encouraged to start with small, easy habits that will help them reach their goal. For example; eating on small plates or taking the stairs. The app comes with a habit library full of healthy habits or your can add your own. Once a new habit is formed, you stop tracking it and move to the next one. The concept is simple and is built off the work of Skinner, Fogg, Duhigg & DiCemente among others.

#3. My Pocket Coach:
My Pocket Coach is a mobile app that keeps you focused on the little habits that lead to success. Whether your goals are professional or personal, it is those little habits - the things you do when you are not thinking about what you do... that determine success. A coach that is always with, this mobile app is great for creating better mental and physical habits. Changing just a few key habits can improve any area of your life and My Pocket Coach helps users identify a goal then select 1-3 habits that will help them reach that goal. The Pro version allows coaches, trainers, therapists or even HR departments to customize the behaviors to fit their clients/employees. Based on the same platform as Healthy Habits, My Pocket Coach is perfect for all areas of your life professional, relationships, health and personal.
