Power APP updated their multifunctional QR Reader for iOS to V 2.6 - Published on 06/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power APP optimized their multifunctional QR Reader for iOS with the latest version of Xcode, making it run smoother and and giving it a better overall performance. The app also allows to create own QR-codes with a logo in the middle. The advantages are better compatibility with the newest iOS and a more complete and smoother testing of the finished app before releasing it. Features of QR Reader include AirPrint support and direct access to URL.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Power APP announced an update of their multifunctional QR Reader for iOS to version 2.6. While not offering a lot of new functionality, the app was being optimized using the newest release of Xcode. The advantages are better compatibility with the newest iOS and a more complete and smoother testing of the finished app before releasing it.

"Sometimes my devs really surprise me with what they do. Telling me that they are releasing an update for an app just because they can is pretty bold. But then I liked to hear that they were able to ensure better compatibility with the newest iOS and that testing the app can be extended while running smoother at the same time," was the reaction of Christian Schaffner to the latest update of QR Reader when he was told about by his team.

QR Reader for iOS does not only recognize almost any type of QR-Code or barcode and EAN code, it also allows to create own QR-codes with a logo in the middle. "Originally I was hesitating to allow logos and images in the QR-code, since this is not covered by any standard. Our team agreed to a compromise between what's possible and stability and readability of QR-codes. The maximum size of a picture in a QR-code is limited by the maximum setting of the error correction," explains Christian Schaffner.

Main Features of QR Reader:
* Scanning and creating of standard QR-Codes
* Reading Barcodes in almost any known standard
* Creating Custom QR-Codes with image
* AirPrint support
* Scan History
* Direct access to URL
* Direct access to adresses on map

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

Pricing and Availability:
QR Reader - Scan, Create and Read QR Code with Logo / Icon 2.6.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Presentime Synchronized Presentation Timer for iOS 7 Gets Even Better - Published on 06/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Midnight Oil Enterprises, LLC has released Presentime 1.4, an exciting update to their remotely controllable countdown clock app for speakers and performers. Presentime's multipeer synchronization allows a device at the podium to be adjusted on the fly by a moderator or colleague in the audience. The update includes: consolidated timing control buttons, larger time-remaining digits, overrun bells/vibration options (every 30 seconds), and support for landscape orientation on iPhone & iPod touch.

Amherst, Massachusetts - You control the time! Gone are the days of holding up fingers or minutes-remaining signs for the presenter to notice. Gone are the days of interrupting speakers to tell them that they are out of time. Midnight Oil Enterprises, LLC has released Presentime Synchronized Presentation Timer 1.4 for iOS, an update to their remotely controllable countdown clock for speakers and performers. Presentime is an easy-to-use presentation timer app with a unique difference. In addition to operating as a stand-alone timer, Presentime can be used as a broadcasting Master Timer or synchronized with a Master Timer. The Presentime app uses iOS 7's Multipeer Connectivity for direct device-to-device interaction, so a device at the podium can be adjusted on the fly by a moderator or colleague in the audience. A quick glance at the Presentime app from time to time is all that is needed to adapt to the time remaining.

The 1,4 update makes Presentime even easier and more intuitive to use, the timer digits more visible from a distance, and adds some new overrun-notification options. "We worked hard on the original design for Presentime to create the most useful, easiest to set and adjust, and intuitively natural stand-alone presentation timer that we could imagine, and then we added multiple-device synchronization to it," says Midnight Oil Enterprises co-founder Dan Corkill. "We incorporated a number of context-based prompts, available actions, and subtle visual feedback into the user experience to make operating Presentime quick, clear, and resistant to mistakes. For example, irreversible actions such as ending a timing session require longer, 1-second touches, so accidentally touching the screen isn't an issue."

"We have continued to refine our original Presentime design, guided by wonderful feedback and suggestions from our users. Visual changes and suggested new features had to come together seamlessly and without adding complexity or distractions to the user. As a result, the Presentime 1.4 update is significantly more substantial than we planned, but we're thrilled with the results! I think Presentime 1.4 is the best speaker clock available anywhere - with or without remote control capabilities."

Using Presentime is fast and easy:
To set the presentation time, simply touch the Set button and then slide your finger up and down on the time display, Time-remaining alert settings are adjusted by sliding the yellow, orange, and red alert marks left and right. Then touch the Start button to begin timing.

Once timing, the Start button changes to a Pause/Resume control. In addition, the allotted time can be adjusted up or down in thirty-second amounts by using the two time-adjustment buttons that appear in context. The total time added or removed is indicated below the countdown display. The time-remaining alert settings can also be adjusted during the presentation, if appropriate. As the time remaining drops below each alert setting, the display background changes color to alert the presenter. The alerts can be augmented with optional sound and, on iPhones, vibration.

Timing is stopped by touching the End button for one second, and preparing for the next presenter begins again by touching the Set button. Default allotted and alert-time values can be adjusted in the app's Settings screen, so setting up the next in a series of equal length presentations requires touching only the Set and then the Start buttons.

Becoming a Master Timer:
Simply select Master Timer on the segmented mode control. That's it, your device is now acting as a Master Timer. The displayed four-digit connection ID is used by other devices that want to synchronize with your device.

Synchronizing with a Master Timer:
Synchronizing devices is equally simple. All that is needed is to select Synched on the segmented mode control and then enter the four-digit connection ID of the Master Timer.

Synchronized, on-the-fly adjustment:
Meeting chairs or directors can pause the Master Timer if the presenter is interrupted and even adjust the time remaining on the fly, if appropriate. Changes made at the Master Timer device are reflected at all synchronized devices. Synchronization uses iOS 7's Multipeer Connectivity framework, which enables direct device-to-device discovery and connection via WiFi or bluetooth without a network connection or bluetooth pairing. Direct synchronization is ideal for venues without internet access.

Major features:
* Three operating modes -
1) Stand-alone timer
2) Broadcasting Master Timer
3) Synchronized with a Master Timer
* Direct device-to-device discovery and synchronization via WiFi or bluetooth without a network connection or bluetooth pairing
* Adjustable yellow, orange, and red time-remaining alert settings and time-expired notification with optional sound or vibration
* Quick time and alert setting using gestures
* "Night" mode for darkly lit rooms
* Overrun bells option (sound and/or vibration every 30 seconds)
* A "really stop now" bell button in Master Timer mode that sounds and vibrates on synchronized devices (so a presenter has no excuse for continuing!)
* Landscape orientation option on iPhone & iPod touch with double-tap start/pause gesture and 1-second-touch set/reset/end gesture

Additions and changes in Presentime version 1.4 include:
* Larger time-remaining font and elimination of leading hours digits when they are zero
* Consolidated timing control buttons (now only 2 main control buttons)
* New landscape orientation option on iPhone & iPod touch with double-tap start/pause gesture and 1-second-touch set/reset/end gesture
* New overrun bells option (sound and/or vibration every 30 seconds)
* New Master Timer connection ID regenerate button in Settings
* Replaced individual default alert time sliders in Settings with Presentime's panning alert-marks control
* Replaced alternating timer overrun background colors with a non-alternating purple background
* Subtler tinted/shaded background colors

Supports all devices running iOS 7 or later. Ad hoc peer-to-peer wireless networking requires:
* iPhone 5 or later
* iPad Air or 4th generation
* iPad mini
* iPod touch 5th generation
* Universal Application
* 1.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Presentime 1.4 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. It is a free upgrade from earlier versions.

Madison, Wisconsin - Educational Gaming Company, Blue Moon Learning, today is pleased to announce the release of Chester & Flop's Flying Numbers Adventure for iPad and iPhone; a challenging and fun adventure game that teaches integers, decimals, and fractions to children ages 6-9 years old.

Set in the context of a flowery meadow, children playing Chester & Flop's Flying Numbers Adventure join Chester the butterfly and Flop the bunny on a trip to their garden. Along the way children are challenged to compare and sort integers, decimals, and fractions by tapping the screen to guide Chester and his number over or under oncoming numbers. After surmounting 10 numeric hurdles in each level, children reach the garden where they can feed Flop his favorite vegetables, direct Chester to the flowers, and interact with nature by sliding the clouds, setting the sun, drawing constellations in the night sky, and more.

Flying Numbers is packed with learning and fun, including 36 levels designed for children ages 6-9 years old by a team of both Montessori and public school teachers. Early levels begin with Common Core Standards, while later levels provide greater challenge with exposure to fractions, decimals, and even negative numbers.

Chester & Flop's Flying Numbers Adventure includes a horizontally scrolling number line ranging from negative 100 to 1000, and an interactive visualizer providing kids with a pictorial representation of each integer or fraction.

Chester & Flop's Flying Numbers Adventure perfectly balances entertainment with educational value, holding children's attention as they learn.

"There is so much we can do now, with this amazing technology that kids hold in their hands, to make learning and play one and the same, " explains Steve Glinberg, Blue Moon Learning's Founder and CEO.

"With Chester & Flop's Flying Numbers Adventure I aimed to provide children with an immersive and exciting educational game where they can grow their understanding of numbers while they play. When I watch my daughters play with determination and celebrate their successes as they progress from one level to the next, I know I have accomplished my goal."

With its pristine graphics, memorable music, and enchanting characters, Chester & Flop's Flying Numbers Adventure offers children ages 6-9 a delightful and engaging way to expand and apply their knowledge of integers, fractions, and decimals.

Visit Websites with VisuSurfer - QR Code Not Required - Published on 06/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iRead Solutions Inc. today announces VisuSurfer for iOS. The app makes it easy to automatically browse web addresses from printed text in magazines, posters, business cards, signs, flyers, newspapers - anywhere. A user moves their phone to the printed text and VisuSurfer automatically actions it after multiple identical readings - within a second or two - no typing - no tapping. It is QR code convenience with printed text.

Ottawa, Canada - iRead Solutions Inc. today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of VisuSurfer 1.0, a new productivity app developed for iPhone. VisuSurfer provides an easy way to browse websites from printed web addresses - without typing or tapping. The app features advanced OCR technology that automatically takes action within seconds to quickly and accurately recognize web addresses.

Printed phone numbers, web and map address exist in many places. QR codes were invented to permit computer technology to easily and accurately detect information and are used in many places so people can easily browse to a website. However, humans cannot read these codes and there are many places where printed websites exist without a QR code. Today, VisuSurfer give users the ability to experience the same convenience from QR codes with normal printed text.

"When reading a newspaper or magazine advertising, I can now visit a website immediately, by simply placing the phone over the printed web address and VisuSurfer browses to it automatically," said Mona Regner, president of iRead Solutions Inc.

The OCR technology in the app detects printed text very quickly. VisuSurfer provides a simple single purpose function, which recognizes web addresses from printed text. User interactions with this app are minimal - move the iOS device so it can see the printed text of interest (tapping to focus if necessary) and wait as little as a second for the data to be recognized and take action. It is that simple.

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

Pricing and Availability:
VisuSurfer 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Maintain Releases Cocktail 7.5.2 (Mavericks Edition) - Published on 06/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Maintain has released Cocktail 7.5.2 (Mavericks Edition), the latest maintenance update for users running OS X Mavericks. Cocktail is a general purpose utility for OS X that lets users clean, repair and optimize their Macs. This version adds ability to change tool tip display delay and ability to disable App Napp. It also contains improvements on the "Clear DNS cache procedure" and addresses an issue in which Cocktail may fail to restart Core Audio daemon.

Ekero, Sweden - Maintain has released Cocktail 7.5.2 (Mavericks Edition), the latest maintenance update of Cocktail for users running OS X Mavericks 10.9. Cocktail is a general purpose utility for OS X that lets you clean, repair and optimize your Mac. The application serves up a perfect mix of maintenance tools and tweaks, all accessible through a clean and easy to use interface. Cocktail's features are arranged into five categories that helps you manage various aspects of your computer. It also comes with an automatic Pilot mode that allows you to simply press a button and relax, knowing that Cocktail will take care of the rest.

What's New:
* Added ability to change tool tip display delay (Interface - General)

Tool tips are little floating yellow tags of explanatory text that appear when you move the mouse pointer over an application button or other onscreen item.

* Added ability to disable App Napp feature entirely and system wide, for every single application and process (System - Misc)

App Nap is an energy feature that causes inactive applications to go into a paused state, helping to reduce power usage. While the idea of "napping" background applications to save energy seems like a good one overall, some users may not want their background applications interfered with and would prefer to manage their Mac's power usage on their own. You will need to restart the computer in order for changes to take effect.
