LetterWorks for iOS Builds Printing and Reading Skills - Published on 03/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michigan based Alphabet Galleries, LLC introduces Letterworks 1.0, its new educational iPad app. Designed for ages 2 and up, this early education app teaches the alphabet and handwriting skills. There are over 100 original drawings of letters made out of animals, plants and everyday objects. By hearing the words read aloud, children learn to pronounce them. The app includes phonics and a writing pad to practice printing letters and words.

Ann Arbor, Michigan - Alphabet Galleries, LLC is pleased to announce the release of Letterworks 1.0, its new educational iPad app. Designed for ages 2 and up, this early education app teaches the alphabet and handwriting skills. There are over 100 original drawings of letters made out of animals, plants and everyday objects. The app includes phonics and a writing pad to practice printing letters and words. LetterWorks builds strong printing skills 8 ways:

1. Phonics
2. Vocabulary
3. Printing practice
4. Upper and lower case
5. Letter names
6. Letter shapes
7. Positive feedback
8. 8 different themes

Discover letters made out of animals, plants and everyday objects. LetterWorks has over 100 original drawings. The eight different cursors include a question mark, space shuttle, butterfly and more. Adults can tap the info button to read about the objects hidden under the letters.

"As the programmer," said Joe Sokolov, "I wanted to build a letter game where there is no way for children to make a mistake. The cursors guide the strokes for each letter, helping develop the coordination needed for successful writing. If the child picks up a finger while tracing the letter, the cursor waits until it is touched again. This is especially helpful for very young children and anyone with coordination challenges."

"As the artist," Leslie said, "I want children to be able to enter a world of beautiful letters. We created some letters out of familiar objects, like ice cream and some out of unusual ones, like kelp and Saguaro cactus. By hearing the words read aloud, children learn to pronounce them. When an adult reads the info about the objects, the child's vocabulary is expanded."

"Nine-tenths of education is encouragement," wrote Anatole France. LetterWorks provides positive reinforcement with on-screen celebration as the letters are completed.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 63 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Letterworks 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Educational category.

High Noon 2 Challenges You To Become The Ultimate Gunslinger - Published on 03/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent games developer and publisher, Happylatte announces High Noon 2, a major update to their critically acclaimed real-time free-to-play mobile dueling game. High Noon 2 is the sequel to High Noon, which has been downloaded more than 12 million times and has claimed the #1 spot as the top grossing game in more than 20 countries. The recent changes bring Gangs, new powerful duel items and extreme missions to the world of this thrilling western epic.

Beijing, China - Independent games developer and publisher, Happylatte has just released a major update to their critically acclaimed real-time free-to-play mobile dueling game, 'High Noon 2'. The recent changes bring Gangs, new powerful duel items and extreme missions to the world of this thrilling western epic.

"We're very excited to bring the Gangs feature to High Noon 2," says Bjrn Stabell, CEO of Happylatte, "We have an extremely competitive and dedicated player-base, but so far they could only battle for top rankings and rewards on an individual basis." That didn't stop players from forming "unofficial" groups outside of the game though, as Stabell explains: "On our forums and social media, it quickly became clear people loved to form groups and battle each other as teams. The Gangs feature is therefore a natural addition based on our player's feedback."

Besides the new Gangs feature, this latest update offers a host of new additions: a range of more powerful duel items have been introduced, such as the Quadruple Dynamite and black bullets to give your ammunition some extra punch. A few swigs of Tequila can now help you heal those nasty wounds and you can customize your character with threads like the Native Warrior or Miss Indiana Outfit. The game also has improved Facebook integration, making it easier to s***list your friends and challenge them to a shootout.

Based on the Unity3D(TM) engine and available on both iOS and Android, "High Noon 2" is the sequel to High Noon, which has been downloaded more than 12 million times and has claimed the #1 spot as the top grossing game in more than 20 countries. High Noon 2 allows you to collect reward money and customize your character with an almost unlimited number of possibilities. You build your reputation and then protect your status as the bounty on your head attracts deadly competition from across the globe. Opponents are eliminated by improving your quickdraw, aiming, and reloading skills, with innovative gesture controls that make your smartphone feel like a gun. The game world now even includes a Blackjack table, in which you can beat other players to a game of cards when you're tired of shooting it out.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 96.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
High Noon 2 (v1.5.6) is free to play and available now on both iOS and Android. For more information, go to Happylatte or follow Happylatte on Twitter @happylatte.

High School Students Launch Kickstarter to Change Music Education - Published on 03/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Two high school seniors are launching a business on Kickstarter next month. They will be the youngest Kickstarter users legally allowed to launch on the site. It is an inspiring story demonstrating passion and curiosity. The site will teach guitar in an entirely new way utilizing custom software built by co-founder Jack, who began developing apps at age 14 and built a tablet at age 12. His best friend and co-founder, Brian, is a self-taught master of guitar who created the modern curriculum.

Alexandria, Virginia - Two high school students are changing the way you learn music.
Jack and Brian are two high school seniors at Gonzaga in DC, who founded PickupGuitarClub.com, an online school to teach guitar in a way never before seen. Their site combines the best of today's technology with the joy of great music like Wagon Wheel, Ho Hey, Sweet Home Alabama, Semi-Charmed Life, and much more. These songs are taught through a game-inspired interface. It's like playing Guitar Hero for real guitar.

Their note-recognition software listens as you play and keeps you on track. The intuitive note-visualizer makes it easier than ever to follow along with the music, and interactive video lessons add a human touch. Unlike other methods, no expensive accessories are required. PickupGuitarClub.com works with any acoustic or electric guitar, Mac, PC, or tablet. Best of all, from the very first lesson, you will know how to play a song your friends will want to hear.

These teenagers are not your ordinary high school students. Jack is a self-taught developer who built his own tablet at 12 years old, published his first iPhone app at 15 earning half a million downloads, and owned his own app company by 16. Brian is a multi-talented musician, self-taught in guitar, drums, bass guitar, piano, and has performed in front of audiences at some of the top music clubs. The two met their freshman year and have been playing music ever since. Now, they want to bring their passion for music to you.

As high school students, however, their funds are limited. This is why they have turned to Kickstarter to bring this product to life. The software has been created, the curriculum has been set, and the teachers have been selected. Now, Jack and Brian need your help to fund the last part. Starting April 5th, please make your pledge on Kickstarter to support these two local high school students. With your pledge, they will film the lessons, finish the website, and launch their product. In return, you will receive your selection of a year-long membership, a guitar, or a free dinner with the founders. For more information visit the website.

Game-like progression and a competitive environment will keep users returning. Lastly, music is a joyous and gratifying experience, and we aim to have novices spend less time being frustrated and more time playing the music they love. PickupGuitarClub.com is website owned by Notable Music, LLC. Notable Music, LLC is based out of Annandale, Virginia and was founded in 2013. Co-founders, Jack Ross and Brian Abod, are experienced in the fields of technology and music. They decided to combine their passions to teach others how to play guitar.

Forget The Hashtag! Proclaims Newly Launched Mobile Startup - Published on 03/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SocialCoaster, a new mobile social network, makes its debut today in the App Store. The app, supported by a monster marketing effort, is expecting several thousand downloads in its first week. SocialCoaster is a fun and easy way to see what is happening around you at all times. The app, centered completely around user collaboration, provides a real-time & exciting new way to view and share experiences with the world without the use of hashtags.

Nashville, Tennessee - SocialCoaster, a Nashville based tech start up, just launched their highly anticipated mobile app. Founded by 25 year-old entrepreneur Jonathan Burdon, the app will provide the world with a new and exciting way to share experiences through photos.

"We have a lot of great social networks in the world that allow you to view your friends' photos; however, I wanted to create an easy and organized way to share memories with the entire world." Says Burdon. "I think the inventor of hashtags had this goal in mind as well, unfortunately, the concept has its fundamental flaws which causes it to be overused and often in the wrong context. Our team at SocialCoaster has solved this problem!"

SocialCoaster has received well over $250,000 in seed funding thus far from its Founder & CEO as well as two talented individuals who bring a high level of expertise to the team's Board of Directors. Joining SocialCoaster's board is James Grierson, Vice President of Business Development for Bluehost, a subsidiary of Endurance International Group. Also joining the board is Robert Frazer, a successful attorney and investor out of Kentucky.

When Jonathan Burdon, CEO of SocialCoaster, first spoke to me about the idea of creating a collaboration and location services app, I knew he was on to something special. SocialCoaster facilitates event management, photo-sharing and check-in features like no other mobile application I have seen." Said James Grierson, SocialCoaster Investor. "I have worked directly with Jonathan before and would describe him as a visionary leader with the rare ability to see several steps ahead. This talent has helped him find success over and over again in the technology space."

The app itself is very simple to use. SocialCoaster works by utilizing mobile devices' location services to provide users with a tailored view of what is happening around them. Members who have downloaded the free app are encouraged to create spots (pages) and events on SocialCoaster. At any given point, a user may check-in to any spot or event and instantly take/share as many pictures as they would like. The photos are combined in an organized fashion with everyone else who has ever checked-in to the same spot. The result is a large collection of photos from thousands of individuals across the world, all of which are able to share their own unique viewpoint.

Stephen Hagans, one of the app's developers, describes SocialCoaster as a universal tool to share experiences. "Our unique algorithms make the app really special. When a user loads SocialCoaster they will automatically be served with a collection of interesting photos from spots nearby. We are able to utilize the users' latitude and longitude to provide them with a real-time snapshot of what is happening around them. From our tests, this has proven to be a very exciting feature."

SocialCoaster also has multiple feeds that allow users to monitor activity coming in from a specific spot or event or even see what spots are trending! In addition to giving users the ability to connect with the world, the app also includes a personal touch. With the click of a button, a user can add as many friends as they would like, communicate with them, and monitor their friends' activities.

"What a great app idea!" Exclaimed Brad Brach, who is a professional pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles baseball team. "I've always wondered what the game experience was like for our fans. With this app I will be able to log in and instantly view photos taken from fans in every section of the stadium. I can even snap a few photos from the dugout and share my unique experience as well. No other app offers this level of collaborative experience."

The SocialCoaster team is excited to see what other unique methods individuals, businesses, and organizations will employ as they utilize their service.

"The opportunities are endless really! A few examples: Those getting married could ask their guests to check-in and take photos at the wedding and at the end of the night the couple can view the wedding from the perspective of their guests . Or, if news is breaking at a remote location reporters and news agencies could ask eye-witnesses to check-in and share their viewpoints instantly with the world. A musician could host a photo contest and ask fans to check-in to their spot on SocialCoaster and share their unique concert experience." Burdon said in closing, "I get really excited when I think about the many and varied ways one will be able to utilize SocialCoaster."

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

Pricing and Availability:
SocialCoaster 1.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.
