Synchronized iOS Countdown Timing for Presentations and Performances - Published on 02/07/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Massachusetts-based Midnight Oil Enterprises, LLC, today releases Presentime 1.2 for iOS, an update to their synchronized countdown timer for speakers and performers. Presentime incorporates iOS 7's Multipeer Connectivity for direct device-to-device interaction, so a device at the podium can be adjusted on the fly by a moderator or colleague in the audience. The new version of the Presentime app strengthens its easy-to-use quality, while synchronization sets it apart from other timer apps.

Amherst, Massachusetts - Gone are the days of holding up fingers or minutes-remaining signs for the presenter to notice. Midnight Oil Enterprises, LLC today is proud to announce the release of Presentime 1.2 for iOS, an update to their synchronized countdown timer for speakers and performers. Presentime is an easy-to-use timer for presentations and performances with a big difference. In addition to operating as a stand-alone timer, Presentime can be used as a broadcasting Master Timer or synchronized with a Master Timer.

Presentime incorporates iOS 7's Multipeer Connectivity for direct device-to-device interaction, so a device at the podium can be adjusted on the fly by a moderator or colleague in the audience. A quick glance at the Presentime app from time to time is all that is needed to adapt to the time remaining. The new version of the Presentime app strengthens its quick setting, intuitive quality, while synchronization sets it apart from other timer apps.

Synchronized, on-the-fly adjustment:
Meeting chairs or directors can pause the Master Timer if the presenter is interrupted and even adjust the time remaining on the fly, if appropriate. Changes made at the Master Timer device are reflected at all synchronized devices. Synchronization uses iOS 7's Multipeer Connectivity framework, which enables direct device-to-device discovery and connection via WiFi or bluetooth without a network connection or bluetooth pairing. Direct synchronization is ideal for venues without internet access.

"Our goal when we began developing Presentime was to create the most useful, easiest to set and adjust, and intuitive stand-alone presentation timer that we could imagine and then add Multipeer Connectivity synchronization to it," says Midnight Oil Enterprises co-founder Dan Corkill. "There existed a crowded field of timer applications--of varying quality and purpose--and we wanted to make a significant contribution to what was available. We concentrated on providing the capabilities important in timing presentations, and avoided adding any unnecessary features. I'm thrilled with the result!"

Using Presentime is fast and easy:
To set the presentation time, simply touch the Set button and then slide your finger up and down on the time display, Time-remaining alert settings are adjusted by sliding the yellow, orange, and red alert marks left and right. Then touch the Start button to begin timing.

During the presentation, the allotted time can be adjusted up or down in thirty-second amounts by using the two time-adjustment buttons that appear in context. The time added or removed is indicated on the countdown display. The time-remaining alert marks can also be adjusted during the presentation, if appropriate, and a Pause/Resume button is also available. As the time remaining drops below each alert setting, the display background changes color to alert the presenter. The alert can be augmented with optional sound or, on iPhones, vibration.

If the alloted time has expired, the display flashes every second to catch the presenter's attention. Sound or vibration when the time has expired is also available. Timing is stopped by touching the End button for one second, and preparing for the next presenter begins again by touching the Set button. Default allotted and alert-time values can be adjusted in the app's Settings screen, so setting up the next in a series of equal length presentations requires touching only the Set and then the Start buttons.

Synchronizing devices is equally simple. All that is needed is to select "Synched" on the segmented mode control and then enter the four-digit connection ID of the Master Timer.

Major features:
* Direct device-to-device discovery and synchronization via WiFi or bluetooth without a network connection or bluetooth pairing
* Adjustable yellow, orange, and red time-remaining alert settings and flashing time-expired notification with optional sound or vibration
* Quick and easy presentation-time and time-remaining alert setting using gestures

Three operating modes:
1) Stand-alone timer
2) Broadcasting Master Timer
3) Synchronized with a Master Timer

New in Presentime version 1.2:
* Synchronized time-remaining alert panning
* Improved overlaid alert-marks indication
* Adaptive-velocity panning for even faster presentation-time setting
* "Night" mode for darkly lit rooms

Supports all devices running iOS 7 or later. Ad hoc peer-to-peer wireless networking requires:
* iPhone 5 or later
* iPad Air or 4th generation
* iPad mini
* iPod touch 5th generation
* Universal Application
* 1.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Presentime 1.2 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. It is a free upgrade from earlier versions.

Dollar Up 1.0 - Exciting New App Teaches Money to Special Needs Kids - Published on 02/07/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PKCLsoft today introduces Dollar Up 1.0, their new educational app for the iPad. Dollar Up is an app written expressly for use by special education teachers or parents of special needs children. The purpose of Dollar Up is to act as a teaching aid of the "Next Dollar Up" technique, a popular approach for teaching money skills to special needs individuals. This technique can help increase independence and empower individuals by teaching them how to use money and make their own purchases.

Melbourne, Australia - PKCLsoft today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Dollar Up 1.0, their new educational app for the iPad. Dollar Up is a teaching app written expressly for use by special education teachers or parents of special needs children. The purpose of Dollar Up is to serve as an aid in teaching the "Next Dollar Up" technique. This widely-used approach teaches money skills to students who have autism or intellectual disabilities and who are not able to learn how to count change. Dollar Up helps increase independence and empower individuals by teaching them how to use money and make their own purchases.

The "Next Dollar Up" method teaches students to listen for the whole dollar amount, then give one dollar more than that amount. For example, if the price is $6.45, the student hears $6, adds one more, and gives $7.00. They also learn that if the price is below $1.00, for example $0.95, they give $1.00. If the price is a whole dollar amount, "Next Dollar Up" teaches students to give only that amount. Dollar Up has been developed to support classroom teaching and real life money practice. It is not intended to be the only educational tool used to teach the student. Dollar Up assumes that the student can already count with 1 to 1 correspondence and can recognize written numerals.

Feature Highlights:
* Clean and uncluttered user interface that is ideal for teaching Special Needs
* "Know What's Inside" app with no ads or in-app purchases
* 7 skill levels
* 2 built-in reward games
* Provides detailed reports (that can be emailed)
* Supports errorless teaching and learning
* Supports multiple students that can be configured independently
* Provides clear audio prompts
* Provides visual prompts that can be enabled where appropriate
* Built-in support for multiple currencies including Australian, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union

Each lesson in the app aims to teach a different aspect of using money with the "Next Dollar Up" method. Users can opt to view a short introduction to "Next Dollar Up" with each lesson. Whenever a mistake is made during the lesson, the app will demonstrate (using both voice and animations) the correct answer to the student. After answering all the questions, students have the option to play a reward game of Balloon Pop or Coin Catch. Dollar Up generates a report for each lesson detailing the student's results including which questions were answered correctly and how many attempts were made to answer the question. Lesson results can be emailed from the Edit Profile page.

Dollar Up teaches the following lessons:
* Identifying whole dollar coins and notes up to the twenty dollar note
* Reading a price and finding $1 more
* Listening to a price and giving $1 more
* Counting the notes and coins on the screen
* Giving a requested amount
* Giving the amount applicable for a grocery item
* Comparing a price amount to money available

Dollar up has been designed to be clean and simple to use. Buttons are large for ease of use and there are no distractions on the screen such as ads. Multiple profiles can be set up in Dollar Up and each profile customized independently for each student. To access the student's profile settings, users tap on the student's name and select the Edit Profile icon. In addition to setting reward levels and denominations, the user can disable certain features such as showing the prices or score during play.

"Even in the testing phase, Dollar Up has received a lot of praise and positive feedback from parents and educators around the world," says Peter Easdown, founder of PKCLsoft. "By learning the �Next Dollar Up" method, the student gains some independence in their money handling and they are less likely to be taken advantage of. Furthermore, I am a proud member of the "MOMs with apps� developer community and a contributor to the "Know What's Inside" program. Therefore, all of my kids apps will clearly state what (if any) data is collected and for what purpose. I do not include advertising or social media links in any of my educational apps that are written for use by young children.�

Device Requirements:
* iOS 5.1 or later
* iPad (all models)
* 50 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Dollar Up 1.0 is only $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Review copies are available upon request.

Each of our games is developed in cooperation with teachers, parents and children, who valiantly test and improve our products.

Palo Alto, California - Indeeo is proud to announce the immediate availability of iDraw 2, a major update to the powerful iPad graphic design and illustration application. iDraw 2 adds the unique ability to import layered Adobe Photoshop PSD files, preserving vector paths and layer style effects as editable objects, effectively converting Photoshop files that use vector shape layers into fully editable iDraw documents.
