Dolphin and Whale Songs to bring them in Like Duck calls - Published on 04/03/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minnesota based Osmic Research Co. updated its Talk With Fish 1.0.11 (Free for limited time). It now includes 14 whale and dolphin songs and over 80 FishCalls for 25 species of game fish. It's perfect for bringing more fish to table and whale watching. These Fish Calls are the actual underwater recorded spawning calls, fish feeding sounds and bait vibrations. The Swedish Navy mistook underwater Herring Farts (included in the app) in Stockholm Bay for Soviet Spy submarines. Just plug in iPhone.

Duluth, Minnesota - Osmic Research Company has updated TalkWithFish 1.0.11, an innovative app that includes over 80 Whale, Dolphin and Fish Calls for 25 species of game fish. New, in the app, are 14 Dolphin and Whale songs to draw these cetacean mammals in for close encounters. The Fish Calls are the actual underwater recorded spawning calls, fish feeding sounds and bait vibrations that attract predator fish to the fisherman's dock or boat. Herring Farts are one of the app's Fish Calls used to catch any fish that feeds on herring. The Swedish Navy mistook Herring Farts heard on their hydrophones for Soviet Spy submarines plying Stockholm Bay .

Fishermen have used underwater sounds for thousands of years to attract fish. Aristotle described using fish sounds 2000 years ago and Homer discussed sound attraction for catfish (Janko 1900). My father, a commercial fisherman on the Mississippi River, used oar slaps to bring catfish to his setlines. Fish hear and feel the sounds and vibrations of food creatures and sex objects, before they actually see them. Fish produce sounds by "stridulation," which is the grinding of teeth and spines. They can also use "sonic muscles" to beat their swim bladder like a drum. Some fish are named for the sounds they make, like the croakers, the drums and the grunts. Whales communicate over hundreds of miles with sound.

The Fish Call sound tracks on the Talk With Fish App can call fish to your boat, dock, bank fishing or ice fishing area from over 100 yards away and excite them into a feeding frenzy. Check with local regulations. The cat fishing "clonk" sound has been so successful on the Danube in Europe, it has been outlawed in certain places. (Solymos 1965)

Check with our web site for instructions and videos on how to use this new, digital age fishing tool. You can obtain an underwater speaker from us, or use your own earphone or speaker. Plug the underwater speaker into the earphone output of your iPhone, iPod, or iPad and place underwater, in your fishing location.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 60.24 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Talk With Fish 1.0.11 basic app and 36 fish calls, including the Whale and Dolphin songs will be Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports category from now through the end of April. The "Freshwater, and Complete Pack will be price dropped to $0.99 (USD). Visit our web site to see this app in exciting fish catching action.

Order of Operations by iDevBooks 1.0 - New Math Learning App for iPad - Published on 04/03/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Finish-based iDevBooks today introduces Order of Operations by iDevBooks 1.0, a new educational math app for iPad devices. Order of Operations helps users learn and practice applying the Order of Operations concept to mathematical expressions. Users can evaluate random and custom expressions with exponentiation, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction operations on integers and decimals. Levels of difficulty can also be set to challenge the user and enhance learning.

Espoo, Finland - iDevBooks today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Order of Operations by iDevBooks 1.0, a new educational app for iPad devices. Order of Operations was designed to help users learn and practice applying the order of operations concept to mathematical expressions. Users can evaluate random and custom expressions with exponentiation, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction operations on integers and decimals.

Feature Highlights:
* Clean, comfortable, and distraction-free User Interface
* Evaluates random and custom expressions
* Over 100 trillion different expressions to evaluate
* Order of Operations tutorial
* Vast array of settings to determine level of difficulty
* Ability to set the maximum number in each expression
* Group operations in nested parenthesis
* Set animation speed
* No ads or in-app purchases
* Wrong answers are not penalized
* No timers or counters
* No user tracking

Upon launching the app, users may choose to either learn about the Order of Operations or immediately begin evaluating expressions. In the Explore the Rules section, Order of Operations displays rules visually instead of mnemonically. Using a hierarchy of operators triangle known as the "boss triangle," the order of operations is displayed using a pyramid. At the top of this pyramid are exponents, multiplication and division signs are in the middle, and addition and subtraction signs are at the bottom. By tapping on each section of the pyramid, users receive a brief tutorial on the order of operations concept.

To begin practicing, users select Evaluate Expressions. Under Settings, the user can determine the exact level of difficulty for each random problem. Users have the option of setting the maximum amount of numbers in each expression, the appearance of the animations, and which symbols to use. There are also settings that allow:

* Multiplication
* Divisions
* Exponents
* Multi-digit numbers
* Decimals
* Parenthesis
* Nested parenthesis

Expressions are evaluated one operation at a time. Users simply tap the operation to solve. If the user taps an operation that cannot be solved, the app explains why it was the wrong choice. There are no penalties for wrong answers.

The solution for the current operation appears in the correct place after each step. For example, when the user solves 4 - 1, the number 3 appears in the correct place and the balance of the expression moves down. This teaches the user that only one part of the expression is solved in each step. It also helps reiterate that the complexity of the initial expression does not matter since the equation is solved one operation at a time.

"Esa Helttula has developed an invaluable math resource." reports Teacher With Apps (16 Oct 2011). "iDevBooks - Educational Math Apps, by Esa Helttula, are par excellence when it comes to educational tools!" Teachers With Apps also awarded their Certified Developer Badge of Distinction to iDevBooks in 2013, to recognize the developer's educational math apps which they deemed exemplary in content, presentation, execution, and overall user experience.

Edudemic Magazine chose iDevBooks math apps as among the top 20 apps and web tools of 2012. �These apps get three thumbs up from Edudemic because they�re so easy to use, and focused on making the concepts easy to learn rather than being bogged down with bells, whistles, and ads.� (24 December 2012)

"I have been a researcher of algorithm visualization at the University of Tampere where I designed educational applications that made complex algorithms more accessible to computer science students," says Esa Helttula, founder of iDevBooks. "These applications inspired the development of my math apps. I wanted to use this knowledge and develop great teaching and learning apps for children or anyone who wants to study math. Like my other math apps, Order of Operations 1.0 is optimized less around bells and whistles and focuses more on helping the students learn and practice the concept."

Device Requirements:
* Designed for the iPad
* i0S 7.0 or higher
* 930 KB

Pricing and Availability:
Order of Operations by iDevBooks 1.0 is only $3.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Review copies are available upon request.

Little Ark Interactive Launches Animated Storybooks - Published on 04/03/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Little Ark Interactive has launched "The Story of Creation" and "Daniel in the Lion's Den" for iOS devices. Presented in a lively, non-denominational manner for children 3-7, these two stories deliver an interactive reading experience with fully animated content featuring the popular stories from the Old Testament Bible. These important and timeless stories spring to life on every page encouraging readers to fully interact with all of the characters and words for hours of story fun.

San Francisco, California - Little Ark Interactive has launched "The Story of Creation" and "Daniel in the Lion's Den" in interactive form as apps for iOS devices. Originally developed as part of the highly acclaimed Living Books series by Broderbund Software, these interactive storybooks have been updated with new features and are the first two in the new Little Ark Interactive series. For a limited introductory period, both these apps are available for Free.

Presented in a lively, non-denominational manner for children 3-7, these two stories deliver an interactive reading experience with fully animated content featuring the popular stories from the Old Testament Bible. These important and timeless stories spring to life on every page encouraging readers to fully interact with all of the characters and words for hours of story fun.

The Little Ark apps have each already received a prestigious Children's Technology Review 2014 Editor's Choice Award, with an accompanying review that said these are "bible stories that come to life, in the context of a solid 'Living Book' shell. They also are an effective language immersion experience, because of the way the text is highlighted. There's plenty of slapstick humor delivered by way of the animated hotspots that could actually make religion fun."

The Little Ark storybooks include a "Read The Story" mode, allowing children to enjoy the story experience as it is read to them aloud, with each word highlighted and delightful animations that enhance the story narration and a "Explore The Story" mode that reads a page of a story and then lets kids explore inside each page before moving to the next page. In this mode, words and phrases can be highlighted individually and the App then reads them aloud to encourage word recognition and improve reading skills.

"We are thrilled to launch Little Ark Interactive and this new line of storybooks as iOS apps," said Little Ark Interactive CEO Mickey W. Mantle, "to bring these timeless stories to children around the world. We are also very pleased to have been awarded the Children's Technology Review Editor Choice Awards, which are given to 'only the highest quality children's products, worthy of their cost, and able to keep children engaged for days at a time.' Little Ark Interactive will focus on releasing stories like The Story of Creation and Daniel in the Lion's Den to help children discover a lasting love of language through story exploration and learn important lessons from the Bible."

"The Story of Creation" and "Daniel in the Lion's Den" apps are available for FREE for a limited time for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. After the Free introductory period, the Little Ark apps will be priced at $2.99 (USD) each for all tablets and mobile phones.

App "Dashboard for Google Analytics" leverages website success - Published on 04/01/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Velyoo announces Dashboard for Google Analytics 4.0. Google Analytics conversions, revenue or visitors in real-time and all at a glance on the iPhone. The app boosts the efficiency and effectiveness of busy managers, business men or bloggers. It brings Google Analytics to the iPhone and enables to quickly check and compare online KPIs with their targets, drill down to pre-segmented reports and instantly take actions for improving a website's performance.

Zurich, Switzerland - Velyoo is pleased to announce Dashboard for Google Analytics 4.0. The app brings Google Analytics conversions, revenue or metrics to a user's iPhone or iPad and allows to monitor the website's performance anytime and in real-time. An intuitive and customizable dashboard shows at a glance standard metrics or custom conversions like newsletter subscriptions or contact requests. Highlighted in red or green, it is visible right away whether one meets the targets set for today, this week or this month.

But it's not just about accessing Google Analytics KPIs in a fast and location-independent manner. A real-time view of what's happening right now on the website is another key asset of the app. The real-time report updates visitor data every other second and displays the values like heart beats on an ECG - the website's health status in the palm of the hand.

"If you're worried about your website's performance then you must check your analytics KPIs continuously and quickly, no matter where you are. This is what Dashboard Pro has been designed for: fast, real-time, intuitive and with a strong focus on conversions," one of the initiators of the app says.

Having a quick and instant overview of the important metrics is one thing. Getting the right details for answering upcoming questions is another one. Dashboard Pro drills down to more than 80 Google Analytics reports, including most of the known Google Analytics reports like browsers, cities, mobile devices, new vs. returning, referrals, search key words, adWords, content pages, events or even custom variables. The reports can easily be segmented for a professional in-depth analysis by just selecting a KPI on the dashboard. So identifying the most converting search keywords, the campaign with the highest ecommerce revenue, or the number of orders via mobile devices is just a matter of seconds. This is why the app is an extremely powerful must-have tool for managers and business men.

Features:
* Real-time dashboard and auto-updating chart
* Strong focus on individual goal conversions and targets
* Quick down drilling to more than 80 detailed reports and charts
