ZooGue Announces 3 New Thin yet Functional iPad Cases - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based ZooGue today announces the release and redesign of the highly sought after Case Prodigy made for iPad Air and iPad mini. With tablets evolving, becoming lighter and thinner, ZooGue took on the challenge of creating what's by far the most versatile, stable and secure cases on the market to date. The redesigned cases are approximately 40% thinner, 25% lighter and have an additional angle added for extra convenience. ZooGue will also offer a new 3 ring binder case for the iPad Air.

Laguna Hills, California - ZooGue today is proud to announce the release and redesign of the highly sought after Case Prodigy made for iPad Air and iPad mini. The redesigned cases are approximately 40% thinner, 25% lighter and have an additional angle added for extra convenience. The Thin iPad mini and Air Case Prodigy Elite will provide enhanced protection by encompassing the tablet in a plastic shell protecting the corners from harm. With the addition of the shell, the tablet is also free of any obstruction to the bezel of the tablets. Considering the redesigned cases will still provide the same stable and secure use of the magnetic kickstand, and allow access to all buttons and ports, ZooGue believes these cases will offer unsurpassed benefits that competitor cases do not provide.

Owner Tim Angel states, "Our newest elite design is a huge accomplishment for us and we are proud to call this new design our best case ever." In keeping with the idea of updating designs, ZooGue will also offer a new 3 ring binder case for the iPad Air. With the rave reviews received over the original BinderPad, ZooGue felt it necessary to introduce the iPad Air 3 Ring Binder insert case. This nylon exterior with microfiber interior case fits into any 3 ring binder turning it into a protective case for the iPad Air. The thin, light design can also be used to hang the iPad for viewing. Available July 11th, the Elite cases and 3 Ring Binder cases are now available for preorder at ZooGue online.

KlickOrder Wins Tech Cocktail's DC's Hottest Startup Competition - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KlickOrder won Tech Cocktail's DC's Hottest Startup Competition on June 5th, 2014 in Crystal City, Virginia. Founder grew up mopping floors and stocking shelves of his dad's convenience store. Now he wants to make convenience high tech. The KlickOrder app helps people searching for restaurants find reviews and restaurant information for 500,000 restaurants across the country. KlickOrder has over 300+ restaurants in the DC area set up for ordering take out and delivery through the app.

Alexandria, Virginia - Joe Keum, founder of KlickOrder, has produced a restaurant app that combines food and convenience. His company was recognized as DC's Hottest Startup at a Tech Cocktail Competition on June 5th, 2014. The company has been invited to the next level of competition that takes place in Las Vegas in October of this year.

The KlickOrder app helps customers browse a database of 500,000 restaurants across the United States and 10,000,000 restaurant food pictures, read reviews, and get detailed mapping and restaurant information. In the DC area the app can be used to order take out and delivery by clicking on menu items displayed on the app.

The app launched in November 2013 with a handful of Georgetown restaurants signed on for take out and delivery ordering over the smartphone. Now Mr. Keum's business has grown to 300+ restaurants including restaurants in Alexandria, Arlington, Dupont Circle, GW University area, and College Park of the DC metropolitan area. KlickOrder is currently planning to expand in the Richmond, VA area.

The KlickOrder app also allows customers to receive loyalty points from KlickOrder as well as from individual restaurants on the app. Loyalty points are gained automatically on the app upon each meal purchase.

"Having spent the last two years in restaurant kitchens, observing the take out and delivery process, I have learned that it is a very tough business. Delivery management takes place in a few very busy hours and the restaurants that do it well are extremely hard working." says Joe Keum, the Founder of KlickOrder.

Mr. Keum is familiar to the food and convenience business having grown up helping out at his dad's convenience store every weekend as a child. "I remember countless weekends mopping the floors and stocking the shelves from morning to evening. It helps me to relate when I walk into a restaurant and watch the restaurant owner managing his or her business," says Mr. Keum. Now, he supervises the orders of thousands of customers in the DC area staying up until the late hours tracking take out and delivery orders. His aerospace engineering background from the University of Virginia allows him to incorporate a high tech angle to the business of convenience he grew up observing as a child.

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

KlickOrder 3.8 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Food & Drink category.

Comic App Halftone 2 Adds Video - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Halftone 2, an Apple Editors' Choice and App Store Best of 2013 winner, has added video to its popular app for iPhone and iPad. Halftone 2 re-imagines what it means to turn your photos into professionally-themed comic book pages on a touch device. The update makes it easy to turn photo pages into high-definition movies with dynamic camera movement, professionally designed captions, and fun sound effects. Version 1.3 also includes 50 licensed sound effects that can be assigned to each photo.

Sammamish, Washington - Halftone 2, an Apple Editors' Choice and App Store Best of 2013 winner, has added video to its popular app for iPhone and iPad. The update makes it easy to turn photo pages into high-definition movies with dynamic camera movement, professionally designed captions, and fun sound effects.

"Customers are constantly looking for ways to add more action to their homemade comics and scrapbooks," says Mike Swanson, Founder of Juicy Bits. "With the new video feature, Halftone 2 users are literally one tap away from seeing their photo pages as exciting movies and only a few taps away from adding a soundtrack, customized camera movement, and creative sound effects."

The new functionality enables users to configure the order that the virtual camera visits each photo on a page, the speed and motion of the camera, and how long the camera hovers over each image.

The update also includes 50 licensed sound effects that can be assigned to each photo, including growls, crashes, instruments, vehicles, and background ambience. An in-app purchase is available that adds 50 more sound effects to the mix.

A unique "auto stretch" feature allows users to choose a soundtrack for their video and have Halftone 2 automatically shorten or lengthen the movie to match the length of the song.

Final video is exported at up to 720p high-definition and can be saved to the camera roll for later use or sent directly to Facebook, Dropbox, or other compatible apps.

Halftone 2 makes it easy to create multi-page comic and scrap books by assembling photos from Facebook, Flickr, and the photo album. Users can add filters, customize page layouts, add speech and thought balloons, position captions, place some WHAMs, BAMs, and POWs, and share their creations with the world. The app is localized for English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.

Pricing and Availability:
Halftone 2 (v1.3) is currently available for $1.99 USD on the App Store. Halftone 2 is a Universal app that runs on iPad 2 (or later) and iPhone 4 (or later) with iOS 7.0 (or later).

Labyss 1.0 - Help Roklyss Collect Stars In Complex New Puzzle Maze Game - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Jerome Cabridens today introduces Labyss 1.0, his brand new puzzle game for iOS devices. Labyss is both a maze and puzzle challenge of 3 worlds and 45 levels. Users play as Roklyss, the little creature who must collect the stars within each world in as few moves and as little time as possible. Roklyss only stops moving when he hits a wall so players must choose their movements wisely to solve the puzzle. Roklyss must also avoid touching his evil twin or the game ends.

Paris, France - Independent developer Jerome Cabridens today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Labyss 1.0, his brand new puzzle game for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. With bright colorful graphics and animations, Labyss is both a challenging maze and puzzle game. Users play as Roklyss, the little creature who must collect the stars within each world in as few moves and as little time as possible.

Each level of Labyss displays three stars that must be collected by Roklyss. These stars are situated in different labyrinth locations. What makes Labyss more challenging is that Roklyss only stops moving when he hits a wall. Therefore, players must choose their movements wisely to solve the puzzle as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Roklyss also has an evil twin who appears on certain levels and blocks Roklyss' ability to collect the stars. Roklyss must navigate around the evil twin without touching him to achieve his goals. If Roklyss touches his evil twin, the game is over.

Feature Highlights:
* Beautifully complex and addictive puzzle game
* 3 different worlds
* 45 challenging levels
* Unlock bonus levels by collecting all stars
* Progressively becomes more challenging
* Compete against the clock
* Choice of swiping or tapping to control movements
* Retina display support
* Game Center support

Labyss features 45 different levels of gameplay within the 3 worlds of Mercurium, Terrarius, and Saturnios. Players must complete all levels of one world before moving on to the next. If a player earns three stars on all 15 levels of the world, special bonus levels are unlocked. At the end of each level, points are calculated by how few moves were taken to solve the puzzle and collect the stars. Time bonuses are also awarded if the player completes the puzzle quickly. Labyss is also Game Center-supported so players can earn achievements and issue challenges to their friends.

"In high school, I was already passionate about programming and starting to create my own games on my graphic calculator - a TI 82 Stats FR," explains independent developer Jerome Cabridens. "I began researching puzzle games on the Internet and programmed a very early, rudimentary version of Labyss. It only had ten levels but my friends in class loved it. Several years later, following my studies in programming, I remembered that early version of Labyss and began thinking how cool it would be to program a version for smartphones with great graphics, engaging animations, and improved navigation control. In 2013, I started the Labyss project, choosing the iOS platform since I already had an iPod touch. Eight months later, I am thrilled that Labyss is available on the App Store and look forward to adding more levels and challenging gameplay in future versions."

Supported Languages:
* English and French

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

Pricing and Availability:
Labyss 1.0 is only $1.99 USD (or equivalent in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

Pixite LLC launches Union 1.1 with more precise blending tools - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixite LLC today announces Union 1.1, an update to its pioneering photo enhancement app for iOS devices. Offering a clean, intuitive interface and capabilities for high level image stacking, editing and masking, Union lets anyone quickly and easily replace backgrounds and combine photos in unique and creative ways. Easily layer, blend and combine images to create surreal, creative compositions. Version 1.1 emerges with new updates that support more precise editing and subtler masking.

San Diego, California - Pixite LLC's newest photo enhancement app immediately attracted an enthusiastic fan base after its April 2014 launch, offering a clean, intuitive interface and capabilities for high level image stacking, editing and masking. This week, Union 1.1 emerges with new updates that support more precise editing and subtler masking. Mobile graphic design photographers and hobbyists will both appreciate Union 1.1's new features, which include:

* All new settings panel with high precision slider to adjust brush settings
* Ability to change brush sizes to accommodate different editing needs and finger sizes
* Ability to change brush opacity for better control and subtle masking effects
* Zoom window for previewing magnified edits. The zoom window follows your finger, so that images are not blocked by the photographer's finger while editing

"Right away, Union users recognized the app's versatility, ease of use, and ability to support highly creative photo enhancement and editing," said Union creator, Ben Guerrette. "These updates make that process even more simple and exciting. The new zoom window moves your finger out of the way."

Union's intuitive design helps users easily layer, blend and combine images from their iPhones or iPads to create surreal, creative compositions. To start, photographers load a background image, solid color or transparent layer; then, load a foreground image. Users can make adjustments for brightness, contrast, temperature and color saturation levels with a precision-focused slider.

The app's Magic Wand allows for real-time adjustment, streamlining editing. Artists can complete both larger scale section and very small erasures with simple tap-delete functionality. Masks can be shaped, scaled, rotated and placed according to preference.

Tools can be easily and temporarily swiped away for a clear view of unfinished images. Completed Union images can be saved in full-resolution format, exported, and shared on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or via email.

Union Features:
* Adjustable brush size and opacity for better control, precision and subtlety
* Zoom window for distraction free editing. Preview magnified edits without your finger blocking image sections
* Advanced real-time masking with specialized, high-precision erasure
* Both shape and image based masking with image adjustment, scaling and blending tools
* Easily produce double-exposure effects for radically surreal, spacious compositions

Device Requirements
* iPhone or iPad with iOS 7.0 or later
* 30 MB

Pricing and Availability
Union 1.1 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo and Video category as a universal app.

SubEthaEdit 4 debuts in the App Store with UI inspired by OS X Yosemite - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TheCodingMonkeys today announces SubEthaEdit 4.0.1, an update to their popular collaborative editor for OS X. SubEthaEdit kickstarted collaborative editing with its immediate and easy way to connect and work on text. After a bit of radio silence, SubEthaEdit is back with a fresh user interface that already anticipates some of OS X Yosemite's translucent UI features. The new release also fixed bugs, added features and moved to the Mac App Store for a more modern purchase and update experience.

Munich, Germany - A powerful text editor - on your own or together with friends. The app that started the collaborative editing revolution is back with a brand-new interface, ready for the future. Write articles, code, notes or meeting minutes with friends - wherever they are.

SubEthaEdit kickstarted collaborative editing with its immediate and easy way to connect and work on text. In 2003, it won an Apple Design Award for its intuitive interface. In its fourth major version and first paid update in ten years it debuts in the Mac App Store.

SubEthaEdit can work without any Internet connection. Rendezvous networking makes it easy to just collaborate without the hassle of setting up connections and jumping through hoops to see each other. No complicated setup, browser or Internet required. Of course SubEthaEdit also supports collaboration over the Internet. Send invites via iMessage or Email via Mac OS X's sharing services. The app takes care of the complicated stuff like mapping network ports in your router and making the document available, leaving you able to concentrate on what matters: Your text.

SubEthaEdit is also the first text editor in the Mac App Store that does not require exceptions from Apple Sandboxing rules, as far as we know. In addition to all its collaboration features, it's also a real work horse editor suited for the lone code warrior.

Features:
* A fresh UI, ready for the future of OS X
* Reindenting
* Syntax Highlighting for ActionScript, bash, C, C++, CSS, ERB, Erlang, Go, HTML, Java, Javascript, LaTeX, Lua, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and XML
* Collaboration over the Internet or the local network
* Read-only mode for network documents
* Public and private network documents
* Regular expression search and replace
* Extensive support for converting and reading text-encodings
* Bracket matching
* Autocomplete on demand
* Word counter, invisible characters and many more

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.9 Mavericks or higher
* 64-bit processor
* 11.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SubEthaEdit 4.0.1 is $29.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Developer Tools category. App Store review codes are available upon request.

TheCodingMonkeys was founded by students in 2003 who set out to win an Apple Design Award. Which they did! SubEthaEdit, the first usable collaborative text editor was awarded this highest honor of Mac software development and did kickstart networked editing, like we also see today in Google Docs or Etherpad. We've worked on a few other projects since then, and even managed to win another Apple Design Award in the process. With the advent of the iPhone we have also started developing iOS games, like the award winning digital board game Carcassonne.
