NetSuxxess publishes Contract and Subscription Management App for iOS - Published on 05/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NetSuxxess GmbH today introduces NetSuxxess Contracts 1.01, its new contract and subscription management app for iOS & Android. NetSuxxess Contracts lets consumers keep a watchful eye on their contracts & subscriptions. It allows consumers to have all documents at their fingertips; allowing them to put their consumer rights into practice, such as timely canceling, make claims under guarantee, warranty clauses as well as saving money. The app also supports associating consultants with contracts.

Frankfurt, Germany - NetSuxxess GmbH today is thrilled to announce the release of NetSuxxess Contracts 1.01, its new contract and subscription management app developed for iOS and Android. Millions of contracts exist without being actively managed. Losing track of contracts, subscriptions and cancellations costs consumers in the U.S. billions of dollars per year.

The GSA Federal Citizen Information Center recommends in its 2014 Consumer Action Handbook saving any information the seller gives to the consumer, such as order confirmation number, product description, delivery date, cancellation policy, privacy policy and warranties.

The new NetSuxxess Contracts app for iOS lets consumers keep a watchful eye on their contracts and subscriptions. The app allows consumers to have all documents at their fingertips. Now they can put their consumer rights into practice, e.g. cancel in time, make claims under guarantee or warranty clauses and save money.

The Florida Bar states: "If a contract provides a right of rescission, in order to cancel such a contract, you must give written notice of cancellation within the time provided by the contract or by law and it must be in the form required." Often consumers fail to give notice in time because they lack an overview of their contracts and its deadlines. If they react late they often miss the required form, e.g. they only call the seller instead of giving written notice, and this also may cause severe problems proving the cancellation happened in time.

The Florida Bar continues: "Each year, Florida residents lose money because they do not understand contracts when they enter into them or what to do when the other side breaches the agreement. In many of these cases, the advice of a lawyer would have prevented the loss of money."

Therefore the app also supports associating consultants with contracts. The consumer can easily contact the associated consultant by email, e.g. its lawyer or senior friends, and ask about advice.

"Consumers can easily become victims of large companies' professional customer retention management when they lose track of their contracts and obligations," explained Michael Kubert, CEO of NetSuxxess. "They end up with several contracts for the same service, or have forever prolonging subscriptions for things they don't need more. Our app brings the consumer back on the driver's seat. Contracts and subscriptions are the key to build private wealth and reduce debts."

The app provides the following functions:
* Managing contracts, subscriptions and cancellations
* Managing relations with business partners and consultants
* Updating the status of each contract (e.g. "signed" or "to be cancelled")
* Assigning a monetary value per period to each contract (e.g. 100 USD/month)
* Assigning critical dates to each contract (e.g. "prolongation date")
* Attaching important contract pages to each contract (using Camera or Photos)
* Sending emails to business partners and consultants (e.g. for cancellation)

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

Pricing and Availability:
NetSuxxess Contracts 1.01 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category. NetSuxxess Contracts supports several languages, including English, Spanish, French and German. There is also an Android version available at Google Play and Samsung Apps, and a Kindle version available at the Amazon App Store.

Tower App Set To Revolutionize How We Interact On Social Media - Published on 05/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Diego-based Tower App Development, Inc. today announced their share offering on AngelList to raise capital to complete the development and launch of their mobile app. Tower is a dynamic mobile application that connects mobile users anywhere in the world. Tower removes the "interaction distance" by facilitating a social environment based upon personal relationships and interactions. Tower will be a free download available for Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile around September 2014.

San Diego, California - Tower App Development, Inc., a San Diego-based software company, today announced their share offering on AngelList to raise capital to complete the development and launch of their mobile app - Tower - that is set to re-write how the world interacts on social networks. Tower is a dynamic mobile application that connects mobile users with the people in their dorms, residential buildings, office buildings, barracks, neighborhoods, hotels, cruise ships, even resorts... anywhere in the world mobile users want to get connected they can!

In today's social media ecosystem, although social media participants can make friend requests and share pictures of food and pets rather easily, the Tower team found that it's quite difficult to actually make friends they can interact with outside of the social network. The Tower team found that there really is an "interaction distance" between social media participants and the friends they make online.

Tower removes that "interaction distance" by facilitating a social environment based upon personal relationships and interactions. With Tower, not only will users be able to increase their interaction with their online friends, but they'll also be able to create group-specific privacy controls, create event notices, text/voice/video chat, share pictures and videos, search for users, post updates to various feeds, connect via Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, and post free notices in the classified section.

"What we found, after a thorough analysis of the social networking ecosystem, was that there exists an 'interaction distance' between you and all of your online friends. It's not the users' fault, though. Social networking users have perfected the ability to make friend requests and share media, but users haven't been given the tools to take their social media experience to the next level," says Tony Silva, CEO of Tower. "Tower removes this interaction distance and gives users a powerful tool that allows them to create a three-dimensional social networking experience. Basically, we are making social networking...well...social!"

Tower's offering on AngelList is staged to raise $2 million dollars so that the Tower team can complete the development of the mobile app as well as create an infrastructure that will allow the team to easily scale. Beta testing is set to begin in July 2014. Tower will be a free download available in the Android, Apple, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile stores around September 2014.
