Symbol - Blow It! The First Multi-Sensory Mobile Game - Available Now - Published on 04/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paris based indie mobile app development studio, Turtle Mam Mam today introduces SYMBOL 1.0, the first multi-sensory casual game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Symbol is about connecting shapes or colors with a twist: avoiding hot symbols. Blow on your device's microphone to make the symbols fly away! Featuring state of the art graphics and sounds, this addictive game looks, sounds and feels like no other. The blow feature is a world first in the casual games industry.

Paris, France - Turtle Mam Mam, an indie mobile app development studio based in Paris, today is proud to announce the launch of the first multi-sensory casual game. Symbol is about connecting shapes or colors with a twist: avoiding hot symbols. This addictive game - with state of the art graphics and sounds - looks, sounds and feels like no other. The blow feature is a world first in the casual games industry. The game's monetization concept is also unprecedented, since it offers in-app purchase options that can be defined as "purely positive."

"Symbol opens a new era in casual games" say Sebastien and Yasmina Lecomte, founders of Turtle Mam Mam studios," It's the first game that requires you to think, touch, look, feel, listen, but also blow! The game is simple and minimalist, it will challenge your brain and provide you a unique adrenaline-charged experience, involving multiple senses." It's main goal is for all players to feel emotion.

The gameplay is easy: connect symbols matching colors and/or shapes, without ever touching a hot symbol, or the game is over. 3 game modes are available: "clock" - be fast and connect as many symbols as you can in 2 minutes, "20 moves" - be strategic and use your 20 moves, and "infinity" - unlimited moves and timing... but remember: the game can stop at any moment if you touch a hot symbol! Use "coolers" to get rid of hot symbols whenever you need, and experiment an exhilarating feature never seen before: blow on your device's microphone to make the symbols fly away! Feel the realistic gravity effects. Listen to a beautiful and soothing melody inspired from jazz music and randomly but harmoniously created by your actions. Choose an atmosphere: each of them offer stunning artwork and sounds.

Symbol is a free app and also carries a whole new monetization concept, never seen before in the game industry. It's not based on limitations or holding the player hostage: along with optional game modes and extra coolers, users can buy "atmospheres" to give the game a whole new flavor, following their desires and affinities. "We did not want to create a frustration or even fear, as many games do, we think that users should be able to decide whether or not to support a game, and should be driven by positive choices, not the opposite.", assert Sebastien and Yasmina Lecomte.

Features:
* 3 game modes: clock / 20 moves / Infinity
* Blow feature to make the symbols fly away
* 5 atmospheres: Original, India (free), America (in-app purchase option), Zen (in-app purchase option), Nature (in-app purchase option) - more coming soon
* Stunning graphics & sound effects
* Online leaderboards
* Multiple skills levels

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (*)
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 25.4 MB

(*) Due to the lack of built-in microphone in iPod touch gen 1, 2, 3, the blow feature for those devices can only be activated by finger-touch gesture.

Pricing and Availability:
SYMBOL 1.0 is free with in-app purchase options (Infinity game mode, atmospheres and extra coolers) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. The Android version will be available shortly on Google Play.

The DayBell app helps to keep time for important periodic activity - Published on 04/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent iOS developer, Ivan Rublev today introduces DayBell 1.1, his new auto-repeating timer app for iPhone and iPad. DayBell automatically notifies the user of a set period of time during the day. The app helps take a daily activity on schedule. Set the notification period, select a sound, and hit the Start button. With 14 preset sounds or the ability to choose a song from device's music library, it's possible to configure notifications that are easy and comfortable to accept.

Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation - Take a daily periodic action on a schedule with notifications from the DayBell app. This app can help to take medicine, cook, walk with dog, service a machine at the factory, or do any daily periodic action in time.

The user sets the notification period, selects a sound, and hit the Start button. When the time has counted down the DayBell app notifies the user with the sound and the alert. Then the countdown automatically starts over again, unless the user hits the Stop button.

The DayBell app is intended to notify user of only one daily activity - most important one. The other less important things can be scheduled around the most important one manually. This keeps the interface of the app simple and pure. "Everybody is responsible for organizing their own activities. The DayBell app tries to help with the most important one." - says app's developer Ivan Rublev.

The DayBell app indicates the time of the next notification and the countdown. When the app is running in the foreground it prevents the screen from dimming (if the appropriate option is not disabled in the app's settings). This allows user to see the countdown at every moment. The DayBell app supports all sizes of iPhone & iPad screens and all device orientations. It makes it possible to put the device where it is comfortable for user to watch the screen.

The DayBell app works in the background and continues to notify the user from the notification center unless they stops the app manually. One noteworthy feature is the possibility to select any song from device's music library as the notification sound. This feature is available in the Extended edition.

Language Support:
* U.S. English and Russian

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, 3.5" and 4", or iPad
* Supports iOS 6.x or iOS 7.x
* 10 MB

Pricing and Availability:
DayBell 1.1 is available on the AppStrore for free from 8 April 2014 in the Health & Fitness and Utilities categories. The Extended edition is available via in-app purchase for $4.99 (USD).

P22 Type Foundry Announces Wedge - A Font by Architect Bruce Rotherham - Published on 04/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

P22's newest release, Wedge, is the singular vision of one man. Spanning decades, the design of this font by noted New Zealand architect Bruce Rotherham took the history of the Roman letter into full consideration. Despite ultimate rejection for production into metal type, the design was realized as intended and is now released in digital form. Over sixty years after it was first conceived, Wedge is now available from P22. Introductory sale pricing is available through April 30th, 2014.

Buffalo, New York - P22 Type Foundry and the International House of Fonts (IHOF) proudly announce Wedge- A Font by Architect Bruce Rotherham. P22 Wedge is the singular vision of one man. Spanning decades, the design of this font took the history of the Roman letter into full consideration. Despite ultimate rejection for production into metal type, the design was realized as intended and is now released in digital form.

Noted New Zealand architect Bruce Rotherham (1926-2004) was inspired by Herbert Bayer's 'universal alphabet' created at the Bauhaus in 1927. While he admired Bayer's pure geometry, Rotherham felt it was 'virtually unreadable'. The Bauhaus-inspired inclination for architectural publications to use sans serif faces provoked Rotherham to consider how a readable Roman book face might be approached using some of Bayer's same principles of simplification, but also retracing the evolution and use of the Roman form in an analytic manner.

The Wedge alphabet was started in 1947 when Rotherham was an architecture student at the University of Auckland. In 1958, after years of development and consultation with his father, who was a master printer, Rotherham approached Monotype to consider producing his typeface for commercial release. After some back and forth with Monotype, and despite trial proofs being made, the design was politely declined for being too much of a 'specialist face'.

Rotherham continued to practice architecture in New Zealand and Great Britain for over thirty years. By chance, he heard the BBC radio show Science Now discussing the topic of computer typesetting. Not content to give up on Wedge, he contacted the item's producer, Adrian Pickering, at the University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science. Pickering worked closely in collaboration with Rotherham in the production of the digital version of the face. The type was shown posthumously for Rotherham in the 2009 exhibit Printing Types: New Zealand Type Design since 1870, held at Objectspace, in Auckland.

Over sixty years after it was first conceived, Wedge is now available from P22. Introductory sale pricing is available through April 30th, 2014.

P22 Type Foundry is an independent design house that creates computer typefaces inspired by art and history. The company is renowned for its work with museums and foundations such as the Guggenheim, the London Transport Museum, The Philadelphia Art Museum of Art and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to ensure the development of accurate historical typefaces that are fully relevant for today's computer user. P22's attention to historical accuracy, along with acknowledgment of the source material, has made it a go-to source for iconic and important fonts. P22 is currently comprised of 4 distinct collections, each with a unique typographical focus. Copyright (C) 2014 P22 Type Foundry. All Rights Reserved.

Dogalize, the First Ever Veterinary Telemedicine and Social Network App - Published on 04/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Business Competence introduces Dogalize, a social network for dog owners. Users can create a profile for themselves and include information about their four-legged friends such as Name, Breed, and Character. The app then allows users to connect with other owners and see how they take care of their dogs. The application is also the first to feature veterinary telemedicine where one can find
consultation when a dog has an issue. Dogalize also includes geolocation to locate parks, kennels & more.

Milan, Italy - Do you have a four-legged friend? Are you constantly sharing stories and pictures of your dog? Are you always on the hunt for dog-friendly places? Are you looking for people to connect with that share your passion for dogs? Do you wish you could speak to a veterinarian whenever you have questions about your dog's health? If you said yes to any of these questions, then you need to download Business Competence's latest app, Dogalize.

Dogalize is a social network for dog owners. Users can create a profile for themselves and include information about their four-legged friends such as Name, Breed, and Character. The app then allows users to connect with other dog owners and see how they take care of their dogs.

However Dogalize is not an ordinary run-of-the-mill social network. The application is also the first to feature veterinary telemedicine. If your dog is in need of an immediate veterinarian consultation, Dogalize will connect you with an available vet via video call. This communication feature is also available for friends on your social network, meaning you can show off your dog's talents in real time.

"Video call, the free vet call, and the social network is exactly why Dogalize needs to be a part of every dog-owners' daily life," said Sara Colnago, CEO at Business Competence. "Dogs are a part of the family, and we want people to have a community that will appreciate their dog as well as support them."

The app's resources also extend beyond veterinary telemedicine. Through geolocation, users can easily find dog-friendly places like parks, kennels, restaurants, and pet shops. This eliminates the wide Internet search, because geolocation focuses on where you are.
With Dogalize, you'll never have to worry that you're annoying friends with your dog posts. Everyone on the network, including veterinarians, wants to know how you're four-legged friend is doing.

Features:
* Find friends and see how they take care of their dog
* See kennels registered in our Partner area
* Chat using emoticons and share photos and videos
* Video call friends for free and share experiences with your dog in real time
* Geolocation: Search and geolocalize friends, dog-friendly places with the integrated Google Maps system
* Check In: Share your exact location in your posts
* Voice call or video call available veterinarians

Device Requirements:
* iOS Requirement: 5.1 or later
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* 27.3 MB
* Language: English
* Also available for Android 3.1 or later
* Android size: 22MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Dogalize App is available for Free in the iTunes App Store in the Lifestyle category. It is also available on the Google Play store.

iBank for iPad 2.1 update now half price through April 10 only - Published on 04/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IGG Software, Inc. today announced the release of iBank for iPad 2.1, a significant update to its powerful personal finance app for iOS 7. Free for users of earlier versions, the update delivers an all-new search function, auto-complete for data entry, and improvements to account handling, category management and investments, as well as over 20 fixes. Available from the App Store immediately, iBank for iPad 2.1 will be half-price - $10 off - through April 10 only.

Putney, Vermont - GG Software, Inc. today announced the release of iBank for iPad 2.1, a significant update to its powerful personal finance app for iOS 7. Free for users of earlier versions, the update delivers an all-new search function, auto-complete for data entry, and improvements to account handling, category management and investments, as well as over 20 fixes. Available from the App Store immediately, iBank for iPad 2.1 will be half-price - $10 off - through April 10 only.

"This is iBank for iPad's most significant release since version 1.0," says IGG's president, Ian Gillespie. "With fast search and faster data entry, it's better than ever for seeing your complete financial picture: to know where your accounts stands, to plan ahead for expenses, to budget for more savings and to invest for a more comfortable future."

iBank for iPad 2.1 now allows users to:
* Search all transactions globally or by account
* Adds type-ahead functionality to auto-fill transactions with payees, as well as categories and amounts
* Introduces new sections to manage Categories, Securities and Payees

iBank for iPad also distinguishes itself from other finance apps in several significant ways:

* iBank's clean interface presents accounts in one or more custom books, organized as needed. With a tap or a swipe, users can access accounts; get details on transactions, budgets or investments; edit or search transactions, delete info and more.

* Investment management has never been more elegant. It's easier than ever to review trades, positions, history, performance, realized and unrealized gains, market value and more. Portfolios update as changes are available, and users can drill down for security details with a tap.

*IGG's own subscription service, Direct Access, delivers instant account updates from thousands of financial institutions worldwide, via Wi-Fi or data connection, with no prompting by the user - any time and anywhere.

* Simple yet sophisticated budgeting is a key component of iBank. Schedule regular income and bills, set targets for other earnings or expenses, track spending by assigning categories to transactions. Users can check budgets with a tap, compare current performance to previous months, review old budgets, sync budgets to iBank 5 for Mac and more.

* IGG's commitment to privacy and security is paramount: iBank for iPad is ad-free. There are no third-party services offered to users. Customer data and financial records are never stored, accessed, aggregated or analyzed in any way that benefits IGG or any other marketers. And IGG never sells, trades, rents or shares customer information.

As always, users have full manual editing and entry capabilities, including the ability to split, schedule and categorize transactions; the ability to move different financial "books" between devices; multi-currency support; and many more powerful finance management tools. The app can be used by itself or in conjunction with iBank for Mac, and takes full advantage of the iPad's latest dual-core and graphics processors, its high-resolution Retina Display, and landscape and portrait modes.

For automatic updating of transactions, new users of iBank for iPad can try Direct Access for free during a 30-day trial. Maintaining the service can cost as little as 11 cents a day: just $4.99 per month, or $39.99 for an annual subscription; all options are available via In-App Purchase. Users of iBank for Mac can sync all transaction data directly from the desktop app to iBank for iPad 2.1 over Wi-Fi or a WebDAV server, with or without a Direct Access account.

A top-selling, top-grossing iOS finance app since its debut in 2012, iBank for iPad has been called "a stellar full-featured financial app" by macworld.com. Regular price at the App Store is $19.99, and the app requires iOS 7 or higher and iPad 2 or later.

yummico Unveils New Ebook, ScreenTime, To Help Manage Digital Activity - Published on 04/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

yummico launches its new preschool series, The Adventures of Ash & Ollie, ScreenTime, for iOS. In ScreenTime, the boys want to play on dad's computer. But what are the rules? The Ash & Ollie series focuses on the social, emotional and behavioral skills children need for success in school and everyday life. The curriculum revolves around a myriad of childhood development issues parents deal with every day. Life lessons are seamlessly integrated into the action inside the story.

New York, New York - With kids everywhere immersed in digital devices - smartphones, computers, tablets - many parents struggle with how to manage their screen time. yummico, the children's media company co-founded by children's media veterans Traci Paige Johnson (Blue's Clues) and Robert Mowen and feature filmmakers Caroline Baron (Capote) and Anthony Weintraub, is releasing the interactive e-book ScreenTime. Written by Baron and illustrated by Paige Johnson, ScreenTime is an ally for kids and parents as they navigate the complex, blurry world of how much time is enough.

The first title in yummico's new preschool series The Adventures of Ash & Ollie, ScreenTime, launches for iOS on the iTunes App Store and for Android on Google Play ($2.99). ScreenTime is produced in collaboration with Fingerprint and playable on Fingerprint Play --the first kid's mobile learning and entertainment network.

In ScreenTime, Ash and Ollie can't wait to play games on Daddy's phone or on the computer. But how much time is too much, and what are the rules? Respecting their parents' rules, the boys do their chores and then get to explore and play on their devices. Before they 'turn out like zombies for staring too long,' they go outside to join their 'own social network' - a play date.

Enhanced features on the ebook include animation and games with rich, page-turn animations and touch-and-swipe interactions.

Featuring two mischievous brothers, the Ash & Ollie series is a fun and funny buddy adventure, using visual storytelling and physical comedy to frame stories that focus on the social, emotional and behavioral skills children need for success in school and everyday life. For Ash and Ollie, every day begins in an ordinary way, then explodes into a world of imagination and exploration. Ash & Ollie's curriculum revolves around the myriad of childhood development issues parents deal with every day - sleep, sibling rivalry, sharing, following rules, understanding feelings, confronting fear, screen time, etc. Life lessons are seamlessly integrated into the action inside the story, allowing kids to learn positive lifestyle habits for themselves, while setting up the structure for parents to speak with their kids about these issues.

yummico launched in 2013 with the critically acclaimed and award-winning app Yummilloo Rainbow Power, the first in the Yummiloo musical food adventure series. Yummiloo Rainbow Power received top ratings from reviewers such as Common Sense Media and was 'New and Noteworthy' on the iTunes store for over thirty weeks after its release. Yummiloo Rainbow Power has received numerous awards and accolades, including Parent's Choice, National Parenting Publications, Creative Child Magazine, Parent Tested, Parent Approved (PTPA) and Indie Prize Showcase.

yummico has teamed up with New York's WNET, America's flagship public media outlet, to develop a public media project focused on nutrition and healthy behavior and featuring original digital content from Yummiloo. The company also recently announced a partnership with Sprout, the first dedicated 24-hour preschool network and DHX Media, the family entertainment creator, producer and licensor, to develop and produce original 11-minute interactive appisodes of the new yummico series Edison the Invention Detective.
