EasyCatalog Power Bundle Saves Users Over GBP700/$1000 - Published on 01/28/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DistributorX announces new EasyCatalog Power Bundle that saves users over GBP700/$1000 on powerful database publishing solutions from 65bit Software. Modules included in this bundle are the Scripting Module, Pagination Module, ODBC Data Provider Module, Relational Module and the XML Module. Ideal for time-critical publications, EasyCatalog has quickly established itself as one of the most powerful and flexible database publishing solutions for Adobe InDesign.

Clearwater, FL and London, UK - DistributorX, the technology channel source, announces a new bundle which offers users over GBP700/$1000 savings on database publishing tools from 65bit Software. The EasyCatalog Power Bundle is available only for a limited time and includes a license of EasyCatalog plus 5 powerful modules that provide users with total control over their data and production process. Modules included in this bundle are the Scripting Module, Pagination Module, ODBC Data Provider Module, Relational Module and the XML Module.

"Catalog production is often a daunting process for all those involved but with EasyCatalog, the process can be automated saving tremendous time and frustration. This special bundle allows anyone interested in automating their catalog production to purchase EasyCatalog and for a small cost above a single license of EasyCatalog, they can receive five additional modules for a total catalog workflow solution," states Rachel Keenan, Channel Manager for DistributorX.

Ideal for time-critical publications, EasyCatalog can dramatically speed up page make-up time and ensure documents remain error free. Trusted in more than twenty countries across three continents, EasyCatalog has quickly established itself as one of the most powerful and flexible database publishing solutions for Adobe InDesign.

The source of the data can be something as simple as a file or, via the ODBC Data Provider Module,an ODBC database or XML file. If users have invested time and money developing a database, they can utilize it to the fullest extent by producing their catalogs directly from it. It's not just catalogs that EasyCatalog can produce - brochures, price lists, or directories can all be effortlessly generated.

EasyCatalog also offers powerful ways to get data onto the document. Templates can be designed that specify how a record should appear when it appears on the page. Users can store these templates in a library and complex pages can be constructed in seconds, containing live data, simply by dragging and dropping.

The power of EasyCatalog can be exploited without using any scripting or programming. Those who need to script are not forgotten, though, as users can customize control of EasyCatalog through the power of cross-platform Javascript, AppleScript on the Macintosh or Visual Basic on Windows. Ideal for power users or system integrators who need to integrate EasyCatalog into an existing or bespoke workflow, the Scripting Module offers a rich dictionary of commands to control EasyCatalog.

Users can link their data to an InDesign document which means both text and pictures can be imported at the click of a button. The link is bi-directional, so any changes made to the data within the InDesign document can be sent back to the data source. By creating a link from their database to their document, users can ensure that their document always contains the latest information from their database, ideal for publications where source data changes frequently. EasyCatalog can also check the integrity of a user's documents to ensure the document content matches the data source as well.

EasyCatalog makes creating dynamic InDesign tables easy. Users can utilize their EasyCatalog data panel to define the running order of records and fields, and select the insert button. A new InDesign table will be inserted in the current document, containing their live and linked data.

The new limited time EasyCatalog Power Bundle is available now through March 31, 2014, exclusively through DistributorX resellers worldwide. Authorized DistributorX resellers can access pricing and additional information at DistributorX online. Value-Added-Resellers, Online Resellers, Software Consultants & Integrations that wish to offer the EasyCatalog Power Bundle to their customers are welcome to open a reseller account with DistributorX at the link below.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Moondrop Entertainment launches the Drawp For School iPad app, an intuitive workflow management tool that saves teachers valuable classroom time while incorporating all the creativity tools of the original Drawp Unlimited app. Its innovative whiteboard interface is a collage tool with the enhanced features of audio, painting and photos. Drawp's SimpleShare technology allows students and teachers to share work with each other via a simple swipe.

San Francisco, California - Building on the success of Drawp, the popular art app for kids, MoonDrop Entertainment today released Drawp for School, an iPad app that offers all the innovative creativity tools of the original Drawp, with the addition of intuitive workflow management that saves teachers valuable classroom time. Drawp can be used with all subjects, and lets teachers distribute and collect work as easily as with paper worksheets while automatically storing them in the private Drawp cloud.

Drawp's SimpleShare(TM) technology allows students and teachers to simply swipe and share work with each other. Teachers seamlessly assign, distribute and collect assignments, which the app automatically organizes by class, student and project. Students have pre-approved accounts that can be accessed from personal or shared iPads in class and at home. Drawp is designed to help align lessons with Common Core State Standards.

Ana Albir, Moondrop CEO, notes: "Digital content creation has many benefits, but can add extra work for teachers. Drawp solves this problem by not only offering seamless management, but also making it easy for teachers to implement digital technology in their classrooms. It's not a matter of adopting difficult new technology, but of making what teachers already do easier, faster, and more efficient."

Enhanced Digital Paper:
Drawp's innovative whiteboard interface is a collage tool with the enhanced features of audio, painting and photos. Professional-grade drawing software, with over 200 paints and unique graphic textures, make it an indispensable tool for art classes, but it is also specifically designed for use in all classroom subjects. Number pages assist in math classes. For science, students can write or draw on charts and diagrams. Voice stickers record students' voices to assist with English and foreign language pronunciation.

Collaboration:
Using Drawp's SimpleShare(TM) technology, students simply swipe to share their assignments. It's even easier than handing over a sheet of paper. Collaboration enhances kids' ability to create, and builds communication skills. Students can work in groups, individually, and one-to-one with teachers. Assignments don't have to be downloaded as they're automatically saved to the cloud. No email needed. The safe platform is controlled by the teacher.

Eases Teacher Workload:
Drawp helps teachers do what they are already doing while making it easier and faster with automatic workflow management. As assignments are automatically distributed, collected, sorted and stored, teachers are free to enjoy the creative advantages of digital content, without the time-consuming tasks of managing it. Drawp also allows personal text or audio notes and feedback from teachers to students or parents. Teachers can import class lists using Excel by going to the www.drawpforschool.com website. Drawp For School is designed to facilitate Common Core adherence, and includes Common Core alignment tips.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad 2 or later
* iOS 6.0 or newer (iOS 7 compatible)
* 47.2 MB

Pricing and Availability
A free version of Drawp For School allows teachers to create a class and share up to three assignments. Annual subscriptions are $39.99 to $99.99 (USD) for multiple classes with unlimited assignments. Teachers who subscribe before February 15, receive first year free. An Android version will be available in Spring 2014.

Insights 3.0 for OS X: Similar Patterns Technology for Easy Forecasting - Published on 01/28/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KnowledgeMiner Software today announces Insights 3.0, an update to their outstanding self-organizing, predictive modeling application for Mac OS X. With Similar Patterns technology Insights 3.0 adds innovative forecasting to its adaptively learning modeling methods. Users in nearly any field can analyze data sets and build powerful models, which help to gain new insights into complex phenomena, predict future behavior, simulate "what if" questions, and identify methods of controlling processes.

Berlin, Germany - KnowledgeMiner Software today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Insights 3.0 for Mac OS X, an update to their outstanding self-organizing, predictive modeling application. With Similar Patterns technology Insights 3.0 adds innovative forecasting to its adaptively learning modeling methods. Users in nearly any field without being an expert in modeling can analyze data sets and build powerful models, which help to gain new insights into complex phenomena, predict future behavior, simulate "what if" questions, and identify methods of controlling processes. Insights is used for predicting sales, production and demand, engineering problems, climate change, health or life sciences-related questions, or mining collections of data from government agencies.

Feature Highlights:
* High performance adaptive learning knowledge mining with ease
* Similar Patterns sequential pattern recognition method for easy forecasting
* 64-bit parallel software
* Hides all complex processes, such as knowledge extraction, model development, and variables selection, from user
* Self-organizes data and models and generalizes the equation that describes the data
* Live Prediction Validation technology
* Implements models and model ensembles in Microsoft Excel
* Includes documentation, extra literature, sample data and models for several data samples

Taking observational data that describes a problem, system, or process, Insights constructs a working mathematical model. Compatible with data stored in a variety of popular formats (i.e. Microsoft Excel), Insights has AI-powered modeling algorithms that allow users to easily extract new and useful knowledge to support decision-making. Users can develop predictive models and model ensembles, along with a prediction interval from low to high-dimensional noisy data, of up to several hundreds of input variables. Insights can create a validated optimal complex analytical model that can be applied and exported to Excel for further analysis.

Since complex, fuzzy, or very noisy processes are hard to model and predict by known parametric modeling and data mining technologies, Insights features Similar Patterns self-organizing technology. Similar Patterns can be seen as a sequential pattern recognition method that predicts and qualitatively explains fuzzy processes inherently. This method is based on the assumption that every most recent period of time (reference pattern) of a given multi-dimensional time process has one or more analogous periods in history (similar patterns). If so, a forecast of the reference pattern can be obtained by transforming the known continuations of the similar patterns in history into continuations of the present state of the process. This means the observed process itself is used to forecast its most recent state by a nonparametric approach.

The Similar Patterns method implemented in Insights utilizes an inductive, self-organizing modeling approach and an advanced selection procedure to make it applicable to evolutionary (non-stationary) time processes. As a result, this unique modeling technology allows forecasting of complex time processes, such as market prices, market demand, or sales figures instantly.

"Insights opens up a wealth of new possibilities to individuals, small business owners and scientists that were previously available only to large entities that could afford expensive data mining application," says Frank Lemke, founder of KnowledgeMiner Software. "The ability to continuously make predictions from auto-associative past patterns is the core of human intelligence. Self-similarity is a phenomenon often found in nature such as the Golden Ratio. Our Similar Patterns technology now make these proven and powerful concepts available for solving forecasting problems in many fields." There are 3 different editions of Insights with a host of features: Insights Free, Insights Advanced, and Insights Pro. Insights Free is perfect for high model accuracy on smaller identification and classification problems. Insights has been used in a host of solutions and publications including the diagnosis of fetal heart rate signals from a number of measurements, indoor temperature forecasting
for energy management and control purposes, global warming and ozone concentration forecasting, and prediction of residuary resistance (hydrodynamics) of sailing yachts at the initial design stage.

Language Support:
* English, German, and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later
* Any Mac with 64-bit CPU
* Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 768 pixel
* For Excel support, Excel versions 2011 or 2008
* 82.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Insights 3.0 is available as a free version exclusively from the KnowledgeMiner Software website. Insights 3.0 Advanced and Pro, as well as academic versions, can be purchased by contacting KnowledgeMiner Software directly. Review copies are available on request.

ManManLai Chinese 1.2 for iOS is Free for the Chinese New Year holiday - Published on 01/28/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ming Fu Design Inc. announces its Chinese New Year promotion. For a limited time, its iPhone app ManManLai Chinese is available for free from the Apple App Store. Available for all iOS devices, ManManLai's integrated mobile learning environment helps Chinese language students master vocabulary and practice drawing Chinese characters. ManManLai includes the Standard Mandarin Chinese proficiency exam vocabulary organized into four lists, from Beginner to Advanced levels.

Taipei, Taiwan - Ming Fu Design Inc., a developer of Chinese language eLearning systems, is proud to announce its Chinese New Year promotion. For a limited time, its iPhone app ManManLai Chinese is available for free from the Apple App Store.

"The Year of the Horse starts this week, and it is expected to be a stellar year for risk takers and students who want to advance their skills," said Ming Fu's Managing Director, Matthew Sinclair-Day. "Our focus is on delivering excellent engineering design that advances the field of language study, and we want as many students as possible to benefit from ManManLai."

Available for all iOS devices, ManManLai's integrated mobile learning environment helps Chinese language students master vocabulary and practice drawing Chinese characters. Powering the app is a large English-Chinese dictionary and search engine.

"We designed ManManLai to be a faithful companion, always at hand and ready to assist in learning Chinese," says Sinclair-Day. "I use it everyday here in Taipei. It allows me to look up Chinese characters as they are seen on the street, and track words when I hear them in conversation and on the radio."

According to Ming Fu's lead engineer, Xuan-Ming Dai, "Chinese is a difficult language because it is not alphabetic like English. Students have to master hundreds of characters and character combinations, which takes time and dedication. But we built ManManLai for the long run. Language learners can rely on it day to day."

ManManLai includes HSK (Standard Mandarin Chinese proficiency exam) vocabulary organized into four lists, from Beginner to Advanced levels.

"The HSK vocabulary lists serve as a simple and effective study guide. The words and phrases are organized by level, and the most essential and common ones are followed by increasingly difficult and advanced ones," says Sinclair-Day.

All characters and words can be hand drawn on the screen.

"One of the best ways to anchor Chinese in memory is to draw the character over and over," says Sinclair-Day. "That's so easy and effortless now using ManManLai because no paper or pen is needed."

The app's design promotes both structured learning and free-form exploration.

"Students also need the freedom to explore and make their own mental and linguistic connections between different characters and words," says engineer Dai. "So, we set out to blur the distinction between a learning tool and dictionary. We wanted to create an environment that promotes self-study and mastery."

At its core, ManManLai is built on a Chinese-English dictionary containing over 100,000 entries. The entire corpus is searchable allowing for quick look-ups by Chinese Hanzi characters, Pinyin and other romanization schemes, and English definitions.

The fully-integrated flash card system is easily invoked, making any Learning Set, History list, or test preparation vocabulary list instantly available for a practice session and quick review.

Feature Highlights:
* Unified corpus comprising over 100,000 entries
* Powerful search engine
* Character drawing canvas for each entry in the corpus
* Integrated Chinese proficiency exam preparation vocabulary
* Learning Sets for organizing vocabulary
* Automatic History, saved searches, and automatically flagged entries
* Fully supports simplified and traditional Chinese characters

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Universal Application
* 68.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time, ManManLai Chinese 1.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Imaja today releases Perspectiva 2.0, an iPad and iPhone calendar app upgrade providing new event mapping, extensive graphic customization, time usage charts, calculations, sharing, export, and much more. Perspectiva provides filtering and search, time calculations for analysis and billing, and many other features. This upgrade provides iOS 7 compatibility, event location mapping (an In-App Purchase), improved calendar navigation animations, and many other improvements.

Berkeley, California - Imaja today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Perspectiva 2.0, an iPad and iPhone calendar app upgrade providing new event mapping, extensive graphic customization, time usage charts, calculations, sharing, export, and much more. This upgrade provides iOS 7 compatibility, event location mapping (an In-App Purchase), improved calendar navigation animations, and many other improvements.

Imaja's Greg Jalbert highlights the new features: "The new event mapping module in Perspectiva 2.0 is versatile and innovative. This upgrade also features iOS 7 compatibility, and many other graphic adjustments and improvements. Graphic customization, time usage charts, time calculations and sharing make this app great for organization, logging, analysis, presentation and publication."

View and Set Event Locations on a Map:
Event mapping provides several new features to Perspectiva. View the location of an Event on a map, or drop a pin on the map to set an event location. Locations can be street addresses, if online and available, or coordinates. Pins for multiple event locations can be placed on the map. Map pin annotations include the event title, date and time, and street address or coordinate. View directions in the Maps app. The user's current street address or coordinate can be used to create events. Event mapping is an optional In-App Purchase add-on.

Create Events From Contacts, Including Map Addresses:
Events can be created by selecting a contact in user's Contacts database on the iPad or iPhone, or enter a contact name as the event location and Perspectiva will automatically lookup the street address from Contacts and place a pin on the map.

Create Custom Graphic Calendars:
Create sophisticated calendar graphics with a custom background image and color, fonts, font colors, transparency, and variations of the user's calendar colors. Select background images from the photo library, a set of built-in background textures and landscapes, or take a new photo using the camera on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Create custom calendar images for media, business, school or home. All views support hi-resolution Retina(TM) displays, and are printable via AirPrint to AirPrint compatible printers.

Share Calendar Events, Graphics, Charts and Listings:
Tap an event for quick access to sharing via Mail, Message, Twitter, Facebook, Sina Weibo, and other functions such as Copy, Edit and View. Double tap an event for quick access to the editor. Event listings in text, CSV, and TSV format. Share or export calendar and chart graphics in PDF format via e-mail.

Time Management, Usage Charts and Calculations:
Use Perspectiva's pie, bar and line charts to present time usage for a set of calendars (projects, clients, or activities). Line charts display how time use is distributed for selected calendars over a span of time, such as a week, month or year, or a custom time range.

For time billing, Perspectiva provides time calculations and event logs, including total hours, total owed, number of events and total amount, minimum, maximum and average duration, based on user's filter and calculation settings, including rate per hour. Copy and paste event logs with time/billing calculations into user reports or e-mails, or export logs as CSV or TSV files for use in database or spreadsheet apps.

Calendar Filtering:
Perspectiva's unique custom filter lets users easily choose a set of calendars, a date range, and a text search. The filter works with the calendar, list, chart and calculations views, and for event log exports. The flexible filtering provides for time analysis and calculations.

Intuitive Calendar Navigation:
Touch gestures navigate day, week and month calendar views. Navigation actions are animated to clarify the direction, such as swipe gestures to previous and next calendar views, and zooming in and out to smaller or larger time frames. Perspectiva displays the iPad/iPhone/Mac OS X Calendar event database and supports display of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Hotmail, Aol., CalDAV and subscription calendars.

World's first Bilingual Spanish-English Children's Text to Speech Voices - Published on 01/28/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AssistiveWare and Acapela Group are proud to unveil the first ever genuine, natural-sounding bilingual American Spanish-English children's Text to Speech voices, which are now available in AssistiveWare's Proloquo4Text 1.1 text-based communication iOS app that gives a voice to people who cannot speak, AssistiveWare's Pictello 2.1 visual story-telling iOS app, and in Infovox iVox 4 for Mac. With Infovox iVox, these new voices can be used with any Mac app that supports Text to Speech.

Amsterdam, Netherlands - AssistiveWare and Acapela Group are proud to unveil the first ever genuine, natural-sounding bilingual American Spanish-English children's Text to Speech voices at the annual Assistive Technology Industry Association conference in Orlando, Florida. Co-developed by Acapela Group, AssistiveWare, and Tobii Technology, these bilingual voices are now available in AssistiveWare's Proloquo4Text 1.1 text-based communication iOS app that gives a voice to people who cannot speak, AssistiveWare's Pictello 2.1 visual story-telling iOS app, and in Infovox iVox 4 for Mac. With Infovox iVox, these new voices can be used with any Mac app that supports Text to Speech.

According to the US Census Bureau, there are over 50 million Hispanics in the United States. This includes over 8.5 million children between 5 and 17 years old that speak Spanish at home. About 80% of these children are bilingual, speaking Spanish at home and English at school.

The new bilingual children's voices are designed for Spanish and English speaking children in Latin America and the USA, including the estimated 110 to 130 thousand bilingual Spanish-English children in the United States who cannot rely on their natural speech to meet their daily communication needs. For the first time, not only will they be able to speak with a Text to Speech voice that matches their age but also use the exact same voice when speaking Spanish and English. The new Spanish-English children voices, Emilio and Valeria, were recorded by and for children.

"There is a huge demand for genuine children's Text to Speech voices," founder and CEO of AssistiveWare, David Niemeijer said, "This is exemplified by the fact that the American English Children's voices released by Acapela Group and AssistiveWare in June 2012 have already been downloaded 28 thousand times."

The new bilingual children's voices are such an important breakthrough for Spanish speaking children across the Americas that AssistiveWare and Tobii Technology are not keeping these voices reserved for their own products. After July 2014, the new bilingual American Spanish-English children voices will be available for licensing by Acapela Group to other developers to utilize in their apps and communication devices, allowing even more children to access programs with voices that resemble their own.

"This groundbreaking project is the first of its kind in the industry," said Lars-Erik Larsson, CEO of Acapela Group. "With over 3,000 hours of research, recording, processing and development, the new American Spanish-English children's voices are a fulfilling milestone and a reflection of our longtime leadership in this field."

About Acapela Group:
Acapela Group invents speech solutions that bring content to life through giving it a voice in up to 30 languages. Each audio selection is authentic sounding, unique and original, presenting a distinct personality that perfectly matches different contexts. More than just simple vocalization of texts, Acapela Group aims to add a subtle layer of intelligence and significantly enrich audio dimension by offering more meaning and intent to each voice.

The collaboration between Acapela Group and AssistiveWare dates back to 2003 when AssistiveWare was the first company to build a Mac product using the natural-sounding Acapela voices. Both companies share a strong dedication to the assistive technology market and were natural partners to tackle the challenges of developing children's voices designed for people who cannot speak. Acapela Group brought decades of experience in building natural-sounding Text to Speech voices. AssistiveWare brought its experience in working with people with speech impairments through its BETT 2011 award-winning Proloquo2Go Augmentative and Alternative Communication app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, which later this year will also be adapted for Spanish. Tobii Technology joined the collaboration for the creation of German children's voices released in 2013 and the American Spanish children's voices released today.

Proloquo4Text is available for $129.99 (USD) from the App Store and Pictello is available for $18.99 from the App Store. Infovox iVox is available through the AssistiveWare web site.

FileMaker, Inc. Publishes GoZync Case Study - Published on 01/28/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FileMaker, Inc. has just published a success story featuring SeedCode's sync engine: GoZync. The case study highlights the synchronized iPad solution SeedCode built for Blueprint Capital. Blueprint's mobile app uses GoZync to synchronize construction inspections. GoZync manages the data transfer during sync and ensures that inspectors in the field know that their entries have been successfully pushed to Blueprint's server. SeedCode has been building FileMaker templates since 2001.

Seattle, Washington - FileMaker, Inc. has just published a success story featuring SeedCode's sync engine: GoZync. The case study highlights the synchronized iPad solution SeedCode built for Blueprint Capital. Blueprint is one of the largest residential construction lenders in Seattle and their whole lending practice is run from a FileMaker solution named Blueprint Connect(TM).

Blueprint's mobile app uses GoZync to synchronize construction inspections. Each of Blueprint's active projects needs to be inspected every month; inspectors log the builder's progress against the projects' line items and take photos of the work. These are then synced back to Blueprint's office so borrowers can take draws against their loans in proportion to the work completed so far.

GoZync manages the data transfer during synchronization and ensures that inspectors in the field know--for certain--that their entries have been successfully pushed to Blueprint's server. GoZync is a bolt-on utility from SeedCode which can be added to any FileMaker Go solution to enable offline use and synchronization.

"Blueprint has devoted a couple pages of their annual report to their strategic investment in this software and we are very proud of our work here." Says SeedCode's John Sindelar. "We've built other mobile apps for Blueprint, including one managers use to get an overview of project finances, but we're most proud of the inspections app as it has helped take a very time-sensitive and high pressure part of Blueprint's workflow and turn it into something much more routine."

This software replaced a paper system where inspections arrived in several large boxes and had to be keyed in during these marathon transcription sessions that were both stressful and prone to error.

Inspecting over 100 of these projects happens over just a few days and a customized version of GoMaps helps inspectors know which properties they have yet to visit. Images of site plans and renderings are pulled down to the iPad so folks can orient themselves on new projects, some of which may have barely broken ground when they arrive.

The GoZync-Powered inspection app offers the following capabilities:

* Syncs a subset of properties to be inspected down to the inspectors' iPads: only active projects with funds outstanding are inspected.

* Photos, site-plans, and any new notes from the finance team come down to the iPad as well.

* Though the in-office solution is quite large, the mobile app only syncs data from twelve tables: mirroring the structure of the main solution on an iPad would have been impossible.

* Inspectors sync photos they've taken of each site and receive a confirmation that each project's inspection has been successfully transmitted.

* Syncs are done throughout the day as inspections are completed, usually three or four at a time. Each project takes just over a minute to sync.

* As inspections can be called for at any time, inspectors can always sync down new projects to be inspected without having to come in to the office.

* This lets Blueprint respond to builder requests for ad-hoc financing very quickly, often with inspections and checks cut the same day

* With a single click inspectors can ask for and download new versions of the application (it's in near constant development as we add new features).

Retro graphics crafted with love and dedication to the genre.

Sandhem, Sweden - Towns being set ablaze, a magic raising evil creatures, havoc across the land...only one can fight the dragon. Only one can be their hero. Will you be their hero?

Loot Hero gives a classic-RPG gaming experience to mobile gamers craving a fun, 8-bit gameplay. Threatened by more than 20 different enemies and bosses, the hero must always be ready to battle. Copious achievements to unlock, tons of equipment upgrades and continuous gameplay that could go on forever make this game easy to pick up and hard to put down. The game is constantly getting upgraded and expanded to meet the needs of new players and dedicated players.

"With this update, we hoped to expand our user base to include those who hold onto their older devices a little longer than others," said developer Daniel Hjelm. "We recognize that Loot Hero can appeal to many age groups and demographics, especially with the retro graphic design, and making it as widely available as possible is just as important to us as it is to our users."

With the last update, version 1.4, we changed the speed value in the shop after players buy at least one speed upgrade. If you want to crank the speed now to do some power leveling, you can. This update also allows for more control over the speed, so you can back it down when the need for careful steps are required. With update 1.6, the game now has added quality options in the settings for "High" or "Low" settings for better performance on lower devices. Lots of small fixes were made to the game as well, including a bigger area for button to be clicked for users of the game that have a very small device to work with.

And hopefully, also to gain as much loot - and save as much as the landscape - as possible.

Throughout the game, the 8-bit retro graphics set the tone for gamers young and old, but especially those who were lucky enough to experience games on older systems. Loot Hero also is a great introduction to that gaming style for those who haven't previously been exposed to it. Gaining an appreciation for the older style leads to further appreciation of the newer.

More than 20 enemies and bosses throughout the game will keep you, the Loot Hero, on your toes while defeating the dragon and saving the precious land and villages that are unfortunate enough to get in his fire-breathing way.

As with classic RPGs, the player starts with little skill and items, and acquires more as gameplay continues. This creates a more intermediate gameplay, too, as the player achieves more throughout the game and keeps their eyes on the prize: tons of loot and defeat of the dragon!

Features:
* Retro graphics crafted with love and dedication to the genre
* 20+ different enemies and bosses
* Lots of equipment upgrades available
* Unlock achievements as gameplay continues
* Bestiary to fill out
* Ridiculous amounts of Loot and XP!

* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Size: 64.1 MB

Boinx Labs Lasers in on In-App Purchases in PhotoPresenter for iOS - Published on 01/28/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Boinx Software is proud to announce the PhotoPresenter 3 for iOS lends an "arm" with new Finger Pointer tool & branding via a custom logo. The Laser Pointer Tool, featuring a traditional Laser Pointer, a Mousepose-style spotlight and the new Finger Pointer, is available as an in-app purchase. By adding a custom logo to the blackout-resting screen, users can brand presentations with their company's logo or for an event. Or impress friends, family or classmates with a seriously high-class show.

Puchheim, Germany - PhotoPresenter 3 - now available from Boinx Software for free from the App Store for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch - adds two new features making non-linear photo presentations even more fun and professional.

"You can poke the nose of the cat, like this. Very funny," Boinx Labs scientist Dr. Term T. Bowman Ph.D. says as he explains the new Finger Pointer in a video created to make it easier for the App Store team to review PhotoPresenter 3. "At Boinx Labs, we solve many problems, like Time Travel, Cold Fusion and in-app purchase for PhotoPresenter. Please always wear safety goggles when doing in-app purchase - it is more dangerous than cold fusion." He summarizes, "Cat is very important."

New Features - Available Now at 50% Off for a Limited Time Only

* The Laser Pointer Tool, featuring a traditional Laser Pointer, a Mousepose-style spotlight and the new Finger Pointer, is available as an in-app purchase of 0.99 USD (regularly 1.99 USD), though customers who purchased previous versions of PhotoPresenter for iOS will continue to have this feature for free.
* By adding a custom logo to the blackout-resting screen, users can brand presentations with their company's logo or for an event. Or just impress friends, family or classmates with a seriously high-class show. The custom logo feature is now available as an in-app purchase for 9.99 USD (regularly 19.99 USD).

On episode 386 of TWiT MacBreak Weekly, Andy Ihnatko, technology columnist of the Chicago Sun-Times, named PhotoPresenter for iOS his "Pick of the Week," saying, "This is one of my favorite alternate presentation apps. [...] Not every presentation you give is a linear presentation. Often times, you just know that you're going to be talking for about 30 minutes. There's going to be a meeting, a lot of different topics are going to come up and you want to be able to dynamically display whatever piece of information is going to be relevant at that time - and that's what PhotoPresenter is all about. [...] This is just absolutely the perfect app for that sort of thing."
