Defrag Your Computer - Defrag Mac - Published on 01/07/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Adir Mashiach is proud to introduce Defrag Your Computer, a new revolutionary website which has been setup to deliver comprehensive sets of information & guidance on how consumers can begin defragging their Mac. Defrag Your Computer offers information on how to speed up a Mac system through using defragmentation software. It provides information on the different software, and also provides comprehensive, unbiased reviews into some of the leading software available on the market.

Bat Yam, Israel - Defrag Your Computer is a new revolutionary website which has been setup to deliver comprehensive sets of information and guidance on how consumers can begin defragging their Mac.

For decades now, defragmentation has been used to speed up the Mac's hard-drive by sorting and re-organizing the files which are located on the drive. There are indeed, plenty of ways to speed up a Mac, but none have proven to be as effective as defragmentation. In fact, Windows even includes simple defragmentation software within their operating system. However, this simple software solution is not comprehensive enough to completely remove and re-arrange every piece of stored data and as such, premium programs and specialized defragmentation software is often recommended for users who want to truly speed up their computer.

Defrag Your Computer offers information on how to speed up a Mac system through using defragmentation software. They provide information on the different software on the market, and also provide comprehensive, unbiased reviews into some of the leading software available on the market. All of their reviews are completely honest and give users a real insight into how well software performs, and whether the software works for speeding up the Mac. To learn more, head over to Defrag Your Computer online.

New Chat App, PS Messages, Set to Revolutionise Social Messaging in 2014 - Published on 01/07/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edgy newcomer PS Messages tipped to capture slice of 2bn predicted social messenger users in 2014 with risque, original and irreverent chat app. Hailed the anti-Facebook messenger, PS Messages fills the gap between stickers and SnapChat with 1000s of irreverent, cheeky and original card designs and a no holds-barred instant messenger to share them in. PS Messages promises to spice up the booming mobile messaging market which analyst Ovum predicts will get mass adoption in 2014.

London, United Kingdom - PS Messages promises to spice up the booming mobile messaging market which analyst Ovum predicts will get 'mass adoption' in 2014. Hailed the anti-Facebook messenger, PS Messages fills the gap between stickers and SnapChat with 1000s of irreverent, cheeky and original card designs and a no holds-barred instant messenger to share them in.

"Forget stickers, emoticons or even SnapChat," says founder Clive Hutchinson. "Who Cares? Unless 'sexting' randoms or 'LOL'ing over cute panda stickers is your thing. We've designed PS Messages as a new, creative space to express yourself with your friends and lovers away from all of this hype. Our 1000s of designs are hand picked to spice up your messages, whether you're feeling frisky, naughty or nice. And best of all, you never have to worry about your gran or teenage brother joining in."

And it seems that PS Messages has launched just in time, with analyst Ovum predicting this month that mobile messaging apps will reach a new high in 2014. According to their report, the number of messages sent over social messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Line will grow from 27.5 trillion in 2013 to 71.5 trillion by the end of 2014. And with big players such as Facebook Messenger already reporting losses to the newer social messaging apps, it seems that 2014 is the perfect time for PS Messages to capture its audience.

London, United Kingdom - Apps Playground, the UK-based children's app reviews site, today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Apps Playground's 100 Best iPad Apps for Kids, its first e-book for iPad, offering parents a guide to the best iPad apps from 2013.

Apps Playground's 100 Best iPad Apps for Kids: 2013 Edition breaks down the site's favourite apps of last year by category: Creative, Education, Stories, Playful and Games. The e-book aims to provide an accessible guide to apps for iPad-owning parents, including explaining their prices clearly and, if they use in-app purchases, how those work and how much they cost.

The selected apps include releases by well-known children's entertainment brands like Disney, Nickelodeon and CBeebies, apps from new digital brands like Toca Boca, Duck Duck Moose and Sago Sago, and a host of independent developers.

In its first week on the iBooks store, the book has been featured by Apple on the Buzz Books section of the store, and has topped the paid Reference books chart on the UK store.

"More parents than ever own an iPad and are sharing it with their children, and they're keen to ensure that the apps they download are entertaining, educational and trustworthy," says Apps Playground co-founder Alice Whitaker. "We've worked hard to curate a collection blending familiar characters and brands with some of the hidden gems of the App Store that parents may not have come across before. And they've all been tested by two of the toughest reviewers we know: our two sons!"

Research from British telecoms regulator Ofcom published in October 2013 suggested that use of tablet computers at home by 5-15 year-olds in the UK had tripled since 2012 to 42%, while 28% of 3-4 year-olds now used a tablet at home.

"There are a huge number of children's apps available for iPad, so we hope this book will help parents and carers find the gems that will delight their children, from creativity tools and inventive storytelling through to educational apps and playful digital toys," says Apps Playground co-founder Stuart Dredge.

Device Requirements:
* Available on iPad and Mac
* iPad with iBooks 3 or later
* iOS 5.1 or later
* Mac with iBooks 1.0 or later
* OS X 10.9 or later
* Print Length: 111 Pages

Apps Playground's 100 Best iPad Apps for Kids 1.1 (2013 Edition) is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the iBooks Store in the Consumer Guides category. Promo codes are available for journalists and bloggers who would like to try it out. Stuart and Alice are also available for interviews about the children's apps market.
