Movie Player + 1.3.0 for iOS uses Face Recognition for Autoplay/Autostop - Published on 02/17/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power APP today announces Movie Player + 1.3.0, an update to their popular video app for iOS devices. Movie Player + is a powerful app that adds creative filters and special effects to any video in real-time. The app features 8 artistic filters, 3 special effects, and an innovative One Touch Brightness and Contrast Control. Version 1.3.0 introduces a new algorithm for face recognition using the internal camera. The face recognition is used to detect the presence of the person watching a movie.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Power APP today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Movie Player + 1.3.0, an update to their popular video app for iOS devices. Movie Player + is a powerful app that adds creative filters & special effects to any video in real-time. This upgrade includes an algorithm for face recognition using the internal camera of the iPhone/iPad iPod touch. The face recognition is used to detect the presence of the person watching a movie. If this person is moving away from the device that is playing the movie it stops automatically, and continues playing when the person returns.

"We already used a similar algorithm in our app 'Wake Me Up' to set off an alarm tone when the eyelids are closed. Since we already have this algorithm we decided to put in in use for other apps as well. It is the perfect tool for an autostop/autoplay feature." explains christian Schaffner, General Manager of Power APP AG.

Besides the newly introduced autostop/autoplay feature Movie Player + features real time editing of movies on iOS devices, including sepia, vignettes, grey scale filters and a 3D effect with cyan/red glasses along with a tool to adjust contrast and brightness that Power APP calls OTBCC (which stands for 'One Touch Brightness and Contrast Control').

"While being able to edit any movie and adding effects in real time and saving the changes is actually a lot of fun, Movie Player + is still a movie player too. It is therefore important to add functions that enhance the experience while just watching a movie. You aren't always in the mood to do crazy experiments like watching the latest episode of games of throne with night vision, sometimes you just want to enkoy a movie as it is. The autostop/autoplay function is just right to add a little comfort to that." explains Christian Schaffner the motivation to implement face recognition in Movie Player +.

Main Features:
* Add effects to any movie in real time
* Autostop/Autoplay function
* One Touch Brightness and Contrast Control
* Head Up Display
* 3D effect with adjustable depth with red/cyan glasses
* Mirroring function
* Online streaming
* Pseudo Rotoscopic Filter and pixelation effects
* Direct downlaod

New Features in version 1.3.0:
* Autostop/Autoplay function with face recognition

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* iOS 6.0 or later
* 16.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Movie Player + 1.3.0 is available in the App Store in the Photo & Video Category Battery for $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies).

* Animated graphics showing each exercise in detail
* Audio and written instructions
* Complete control over the difficulty and speed levels for each exercise
* Graphical tracking and sharing of performance data with therapist via email

The exercises in all four apps have been created under the expert supervision of professionals in the field and with the purpose of building strength and mobility. They include detailed animation and descriptions for numerous exercises that are commonly used to cure or improve the targeted injury. To avoid injury all users should work with a therapist before performing these exercises. Several additional apps are in development for a variety of protocols. The initial PT and OT Helper releases target these four conditions:

* Golf Elbow
* Finger and Hand
* Ankle
* Tennis Elbow

Each PT and OT Helper app is Patent Pending, and available for $4.99 in the US. Please visit PT and OT Helper online for further information, view the 5 minute Tutorial, or to download PT and OT Helper apps.

Both apps allow you to select a photo from the camera roll or photo stream. This picture won't be harmed in any way.

Appoint iPhone Calendar App Lets You Swipe Instead of Type - Published on 02/18/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Appoint creator Urs Gort has released an updated version of the powerful calendar app, including stunning new color themes, resolution for time conflicts, and other improvements. Aimed at people with busy schedules and little time, the app's clever auto-completion engine prefills information based on past events, eliminating time-consuming typing in favor of a few swipes. Appoint 2.3 for iOS is now available on the iTunes App Store.

Zurich, Switzerland - Appoint creator Urs Gort has released an updated version of the powerful calendar app, including stunning new color themes, resolution for time conflicts, and other improvements. Aimed at people with busy schedules and little time, the app's clever auto-completion engine prefills information based on past events, eliminating time-consuming typing in favor of a few swipes. Appoint 2.3 for iOS is now available on the iTunes App Store.

Appoint is the most customizable calendar tool available for iOS devices, so it is no surprise that personalization features are the focus of the latest release. Users can now choose from professionally designed color palettes that fit in beautifully with iOS 7, or create custom themes from any color combination imaginable.

"Calendars are very personal, and this is just another way you can make Appoint your own," says the app's developer, Urs Gort. "A live preview shows you exactly how your calendars will look with the colors you choose."

This latest release also adds thoughtful tweaks aimed at Appoint's busiest users. Invitations are displayed automatically so that a user can accept or decline in a tap, or even write a quick reply to all attendees of a meeting. And a helpful warning appears whenever a time conflict appears between two appointments, with a button to resolve it in just a tap.

"Appoint is more like a top-notch assistant than an ordinary calendar," explains Gort. "Not only will it alert you when you try to schedule overlapping events, but it can resolve those time conflicts too. Day, week, month, and a handy list view make viewing your schedule possible from every angle."

The new features in version 2.3 are natural enhancements to the Appoint's core goal of reducing typing and making calendar entry possible with just one hand. Appoint uses the contact information, past events, and locations already present on a user's iPhone to intelligently create new events. Tap on a date to schedule an appointment, or shuffle existing events just by dragging them to different time slots on the calendar.

Appoint stays in sync with other devices by using calendar and contact information from iCloud, Google, Exchange, or any other service supported by iOS. The latest version of the app now opens turn-by-turn directions in the navigation app a user prefers, including Google Maps and Waze.

International support is extensive, with regional time and date locales for the entire world, and language localizations in English, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 19.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Appoint 2.3 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
