The first app is already being used by parents & children in 29 countries and 47 states.

Dayton, Ohio - Character Counts, LLC today is proud to announce the second generation of its successful app Creating Character "in Kids." The app is designed to instill good behavior, responsibility, discipline and morals in children ages 5-9. The first generation of the app is already being used by parents and children in 29 countries and 47 states.

"Think of this app as a chore and behavioral chart delivered on a 21st century mobile platform" said Todd Duplain the company's founder. This app is the tool parents need to establish clear rules and expectations with their children who are in their elementary school years.

Why Creating Character "in Kids"?

"After several years of the typical family chaos in our home, my wife and I decided we needed to create a more peaceful environment where our children understood our expectations and started to reflect our value system. So after much trial and error we created a tool that would define daily responsibilities & behavioral expectations and measure progress toward those goals. This tool became Creating Character "in Kids" which has significantly improved our children, our home and our own lives. Since the app's release to the public, it has been very gratifying knowing that parents and children from all over the world are now using this tool and striving to teach and instill positive character in our youth. "

What are the Upgrades in Version 1.1?
"We received very positive feedback from the users of version 1.0 but felt we still needed to improve upon several components of the app" Duplain said. "First, we have completely overhauled and simplified the user setup of the app to make the first time user's experience significantly faster and more user friendly. Second, we have added some additional unique and creative Goals, Rewards and Consequences that will give parents and children even more ways to form good habits and ultimately good character."

Bonza Word Puzzle - A New Type of Crossword - Published on 02/25/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brisbane based Minimega Pty Ltd. today announces the up and coming release of Bonza, its new game title for iOS devices. Bonza is a new type of crossword where players arrange word fragments to complete each puzzle. Simple and easy to learn, the game requires word power, spatial skills and a bit of trivia mixed in. If you like a good word challenge and you enjoy pushing boxes around with your fingers, then you'll love Bonza Word Puzzle. Bonza Word Puzzle will be coming in March 2014.

Brisbane, Australia - Minimega Pty Ltd. today is pleased to announce the up and coming release of Bonza, its new game title coming to iOS in March. Bonza is a new type of crossword where players arrange word fragments to complete each puzzle. The game requires word power, spatial skills and a bit of trivia mixed in. It's simple and easy to learn but gets tricky for even the most savvy Wordies. If you like a good word challenge and you enjoy pushing boxes around with your fingers, then you'll love Bonza Word Puzzle.

Free Daily Puzzles:
You'll be able to solve puzzles that are based on current events. They celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous people e.g. On February 14 you can solve a "Valentines" themed puzzle. In addition, new puzzles are designed and added on the fly. So if something big happens in the news, you'll be able to play a relevant puzzle the next day.

History:
In early 2013, MiniMega set out to re-invent the traditional crossword and design an experience for modern Wordies. After some experimentation with pencil and paper and a few touch screen prototypes, the idea evolved. The result is Bonza, a game that requires players to arrange word fragments to solve each puzzle. It's a super simple, fresh approach at a timeless puzzle concept. An Alpha version of the game caught the attention of Screen Australia, who then helped fund the production of the game and support its development.

Features:
* A new type of crossword
* Free Daily Puzzles based on current events
* Easy to learn but gets challenging
* Stunning minimalist art style
* Relaxing ambient soundtrack

Bonza Word Puzzle will be coming in March 2014, and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Bubble Boy Girl Mania 1.2 - Combines the Fun of Two Games into One - Published on 02/25/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bidhobby today announces Bubble Boy Girl Mania 1.2, an update to their popular game for iPad devices. Bubble Boy Girl Mania is a blending of Match 3 and Tetris-style games. As triads of different colored bubbles descend, players must try and match 3 of the same colored bubbles by moving them left, right, down fast, or changing their order. Two modes of gameplay allow one player (Boy mode) or two players (Boy and Girl mode) to compete on a single device.

Wilmington, Delaware - Bidhobby today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Bubble Boy Girl Mania 1.2, an update to their popular game specifically designed for iPad devices. Bubble Boy Girl Mania combines the challenge of Match 3 and Tetris-style games. As triads of different colored bubbles descend, players must try and match 3 of the same colored bubbles by moving them left, right, down fast, or changing their order. There are two different modes of gameplay.

In Boy mode, a single player has to match 3 or more bubbles of the same color in the box on the left side of the screen. With each match, the box on the right side of the screen adds rows of bubbles. If the player matches 3 bubbles, only one row of bubbles is added to the right box. If the player matches more than 3 bubbles, two rows of bubbles are added to the right box. The goal is to fill the right box with rows of bubbles before the left box fills up. When the box on the right is filled, the player moves on to the next level. If the left box fills up first, the player loses that level.

In Boy mode, each bubble is given a certain value. During gameplay, the user needs to determine which bubble color gives them a higher score and try to match as many triads of that color as possible. Players can play endlessly in Boy mode and share their scores via Facebook. They can also accept challenges from other players to beat their scores or earn achievements.

In Boy and Girl mode, players can go head-to-head with another player and compete on the same iPad. First, each player selects a box. Like in Boy mode, each player attempts to match 3 bubbles as the triads descend from the top of their box. When one of the players matches 3 bubbles, it will change the colors of their rival's descending bubble triad. If one of the players matches more than 3 bubbles, it adds a full row of bubbles to their opponent's box. The winner is the player who fills up their opponent's box full of bubbles first.

Feature Highlights:
* Colorful and simple User Interface
* Single and two-player enabled
* Endless gameplay
* Share score on Facebook
* Ability to change button placement for ease-of-use
* Gameplay leaderboard
* Receive challenges from other players to beat their scores or earn achievements
* In-app purchases of boosts available to increase score
* No ads

Bubble Boy Girl Mania also offers in-app purchases of boosts to achieve higher scores. These boosts will remove 5 rows, remove all rows, or reduce the speed of the game. To apply boosts, users simply tap the boost's icon. Players can purchase as many boosts as they want, however they can only use one of each boost per level.

"Bubble Boy Girl Mania is an amazing new game concept," says Sergio Martinez, owner of Bidhobby. "It combines the fun of Match 3 games with the challenge of Tetris-style games. Users can enjoy endless gameplay in the single-player Boy mode. They can also purchase the two-player Boy and Girl mode and challenge their friends or family members. One of the most exciting aspects of Boy and Girl mode is that players can compete on the same iPad at the same time. It's an all-in-one game that can entertain for hours." He adds, "Minor bug fixes were made in Version 1.2 of the game."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* iOS 4.3 or later
* 38.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Bubble Boy Girl Mania 1.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. In-app purchases of additional modes and boosts are available.

Enterprise Device Alliance Members Support iOS 7 - Published on 02/25/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The member companies of the Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA) have announced their support for Apple's iOS 7 in enterprise environments. The member companies are committed to providing support for iPhones and iPads that use iOS 7 in enterprise and business deployments with a Windows IT infrastructure. Enterprise-class organizations can now use solutions from the members of the EDA to leverage their Microsoft Windows IT environments to provide file access to iOS devices.

Santa Clara, California - The member companies of the Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA) have announced their support for Apple's iOS 7 in enterprise environments. The member companies are committed to providing support for iPhones and iPads that use iOS 7 in enterprise and business deployments with a Windows IT infrastructure. The Alliance members help organizations solve multiple business challenges by providing multi-platform solutions. Absolute Software provides persistent endpoint security and management solutions; Centrify provides identity and access management; and Acronis specializes in mobile content management, including file sync and share on mobile devices.

Enterprise-class organizations can now use solutions from the members of the EDA to leverage their Microsoft Windows IT environments to provide file access to iOS devices and management services to meet IT security and standards.

"The pervasive use of iPhones and the emerging adoption of iPads in large organizations means that IT administrators need to be able to secure and manage the devices while still helping their users get services," said T. Reid Lewis, president of the EDA and vice president of business development for Acronis. "The Alliance members provide solutions that help IT management leverage their current expertise and infrastructure to streamline the deployment, integration, and management of Apple's popular mobile devices in the enterprise environment."

In a recent survey conducted by the EDA, IT administrators asserted that over 80 percent of large organizations are deploying or piloting iPads. The inevitability of widespread adoption of iOS devices has these administrators concerned about security and management. (See the link to the Survey Results.)

The status and plans of the member companies' support for iOS 7 follow:

Absolute Software:
Absolute Manage by Absolute Software allows organizations to remotely secure and manage Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices. For tablets and smartphones, Absolute provides support for mobile applications, security for corporate content, and controlled network access. Customers can manage enterprise- and employee-owned devices from a PC or a Mac-based console, as well as on the go from an ultra-portable device. Absolute Manage allows IT administrators to manage desktop and laptop computers from the same console for increased efficiencies and savings.

Acronis:
From day one, Acronis mobilEcho provided support for iOS 7 on iPhone and iPad. Acronis mobilEcho is the industry's first secure Mobile Content Management (MCM) solution that meets the stringent security and management policies required by today's enterprise to turn a mobile device into a true business platform. For example, it meets the needs of highly regulated industries, such as financial services, healthcare, pharmaceutical, government, education, and energy. It complements mobile device management (MDM) vendors' basic file access solutions ensuring complete security and control of corporate information on mobile devices while, at the same time, giving end users all the necessary tools to maintain productivity. For example, MDM and most MCM solutions do not include a built-in Office editor, forcing customers to purchase separate, potentially insecure apps that could compromise the integrity of sensitive data. Many of these other, third-party apps store data in a public cloud,
which, without proper security or encryption, puts sensitive data even further at risk. Acronis mobilEcho, on the other hand, provides the ability to manage files in one secure, corporate IT-managed location.

Centrify:
Centrify Corporation delivered day one support for iOS 7 with its Centrify User Suite offering. The suite enables organizations to leverage Centrify's proven Active Directory-based security service to manage users and devices and address enterprise mobility and BYOD challenges. The Centrify User Suite solution maximizes security and visibility through centralized access management and reporting of enrolled devices and installed applications, allowing IT staff to quickly and securely bring large populations of Apple iOS, Android and Mac devices under management by leveraging existing Active Directory identity infrastructure and skill sets.

Results of Third Annual IT Survey of IT Pros on Managing Mobile Devices: http://enterprisedevicealliance.org/resource/results-of-3rd-annual-survey-of-it-pros-on-managing-mobile-devices

The Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA) was founded as the Enterprise Desktop Alliance in 2008 initially focusing on the integration of Macintosh into enterprise IT infrastructure. In September 2011, the members renamed the organization the Enterprise Device Alliance to reflect their added support for the newly popular iPhones, iPads and Android devices in addition to the Mac. The Alliance provides information to IT managers and administrators about the ways they can leverage their Windows infrastructure, management tools and expertise to easily integrate Macs, iPhones, iPads and Android devices into their organizations. Member companies include Absolute Software, Acronis, and Centrify. For more information, visit the EDA online. Copyright (C) 2014 The Enterprise Device Alliance. All Rights Reserved.

Based in Singapore - A spellbinding new app delivers an exciting game that takes players on a magical journey through an enchanted forest.

Called Starry duo, each level of the 20-level game is crafted as an individual episode of the full story and, unlike so many other games, each level introduces entirely new elements.

Starry duo challenges you to navigate your way through a mystical forest inhabited by hordes of other-worldly creatures. Players control the sorcerer and sorceress flying through the trees. Collect stars to fuel your magic wand. Collect potions and acquire powerful spells. Search for wand upgrades to ward off the villainous creatures of the forest and their evil bosses. Befriend forest "Treelings" who will help you along the way.

At launch, Starry duo will have 20 levels and be available in English, Chinese, Japanese, French and Portuguese with more languages in development.

Level 20 features "Dust Vader." Born a lowly Dust, it fed on the bodies of so many villains that it transformed into a supreme evil. It can morph between being a giant Dust and dozens of dust soldiers and is deathly. Avoid at all costs!

Created by Mono Interactive, an indie single-founder hybrid studio based in Singapore, the Starry duo app is now available to qualified reviewers for prelaunch review. The game will be unveiled to the general public on the Apple iOS App Store worldwide on 6 March 2014.

Developer Hon Tat Ong, a self-taught new media designer and developer with 14 years of experience, says, "I have a passion to use the latest technology to deliver enticing and fun experiences to people.
