PromptSmart Launches as First Teleprompter App with Voice Recognition - Published on 08/14/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Belleau Technologies LLC today introduces PromptSmart 1.0, a revolutionary app that transforms your iPhone or iPad into a fully functioning teleprompter. PromptSmart takes the stress out of public speaking. With VoiceTrack voice recognition technology, PromptSmart will follow your every word during your speech, automatically scrolling as you speak. For less structured presentations, stay on-point with the built-in digital notecards to make sure you address important topics seamlessly.

New York, New York - PromptSmart, the new teleprompter app available for iPad and iPhone launches today as the first voice-guided public speaking aid with VoiceTrackTM proprietary voice recognition technology. VoiceTrack(tm) is a breakthrough in mobile voice recognition technology. It seamlessly follows spoken words and pauses during a speech, adjusting the speed of scrolling text in real time based on the speaker's actual words and pace. Because the speaker is in total control over the scrolling, PromptSmart delivers a more intuitive experience than even traditional teleprompters and needs no speed calibration. Additionally, the voice recognition processing is completed on the device itself eliminating the need for an internet data connection.

PromptSmart also recognizes that many speakers prefer to use notes to guide their talks rather than full texts. For this style, PromptSmart includes a digital notecard feature which enables users to stay on-point with functionality to create, rearrange, and set optimum viewing parameters for notecards.

Whatever the style of the speaker, PromptSmart delivers professional tools with cutting edge technology and an easy-to-use interface. PromptSmart is the ultimate presentation companion to de-stress any public speaking occasion in business, at school, on the campaign trail or anywhere else.

Select features of PromptSmart include:
* VoiceTrackTM proprietary voice recognition: PromptSmart follows vocal cues, adjusting scroll speed according to the user's pace and position in the text (no data/ internet connection required)
* Easy to use: PromptSmart is ready to go as soon as it's downloaded, no need to calibrate
* Place-holding: Go off script? PromptSmart will standby until the speaker returns to the text
* Customization: Adjust fonts, text sizes, text color, etc. Set timers, scroll speeds and more
* Speeches on the go: Download .docx or .txt files from the cloud or email and PromptSmart automatically transforms them into speeches and/ or digital notecards
* Voice recording: Record and practice speeches. Play them back to note improvements

Founder and CEO Eric Sadkin on PromptSmart: "From my time coaching MBA students in public speaking, I saw an opportunity to significantly improve the speaking experience using today's mobile technology. PromptSmart aims to be the most advanced, accessible speech aid for any speaker."

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

Pricing and Availability:

PromptSmart was born out of a passion for public speaking. As a Communications Fellow at Wharton Business School, PromptSmart CEO and Founder Eric Sadkin coached and mentored students in the art of public speaking. Realizing that many orators would be better supported by an intuitive, speaker-controlled teleprompter and a way to digitally create and display notes, Sadkin also recognized that today's mobile devices could address these needs. With these in mind, PromptSmart was created. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2014 Belleau Technologies LLC. All Rights Reserved.

StockXloader 4 gets a free update to fit Yosemite, plus a new feature - Published on 08/14/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BragIt releases version 4.2 of StockXloader. StockXloader is a native Mac OS X application for fully automated downloading of stock market quotes and indexes to the technical analysis program ProTA or ProTA Gold from BeeSoft, or to MS Excel or iWork Numbers, or you can drag & drop a text file for import into other applications. It can collect quotes for many stock exchanges in the world. The free update to version 4.2 brings compatibility with hte new Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, plus a new feature.

Stockholm, Sweden - BragIt today is proud to announce the release of version 4.2 of StockXloader. It is a native Mac OS X application for fully automated downloading of stock market quotes and indexes from Yahoo! Finance to the technical analysis program ProTA or ProTA Gold from BeeSoft, or to MS Excel or iWork Numbers, or you can drag & drop a text file for import into other applications. The free update to version 4.2 brings compatibility with Apple's upcoming OS - Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, plus a new feature.

New in Version 4.2:
You can now move the folder that contains your ticker lists and temporary items to a location of your choice. It could e.g be Dropbox if you want to have all files synchronized between two computers.

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite compatibility: Because of changes in how Yosemite treats background processes, StockXloader 4.1 could halt indefinitely when it has downloaded all items. Version 4.2 of StockXloader solves that in a robust and backward compatible way.

Mac OS X 10.10 brings several changes to the graphics and the layout of buttons and size requirements of text fields etcetera. StockXloader 4.2 has been adapted to make it fully compatible, avoiding any clipping of graphical or textual items etcetera.

Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Mac OS X 10.10 brings new security requirements where Gatekeeper no longer accepts applications signed in Mac OS X 10.8. StockXloader 4.2 supports the new requirements.

Features Of Stockxloader:
It collects historical quotes and "snapshot" quotes of the latest price values for today (delayed intraday values). This way you can build your own database of ticker symbols containing historical quotes for the open/high/low/close of each day, plus current-day snapshots. You can get data for any stock exchange in the world that Yahoo! Finance carries quotes for.

StockXloader 4 builds on years of experience with StockXloader 3, but is completely rewritten with new functionality. It has a very rich ticker list editor, with which you can create any number of lists containing ticker symbols. You set the category for each symbol, such as stocks, indexes, mutual funds, futures. For each ticker symbol you can also give its full security name, supply a comment, disable or enable this particular symbol in this particular list. It supports full multiple undo. All this information is imported into the program of your choice when you download & import, along with the actual quote data and its dates/times converted to your local settings and time zone.

StockXloader 4 keeps track of the last date you got quote values, and it does that individually for every ticker symbol, so the next time you download, it will fetch quotes starting after that date. So if a particular symbol lags, StockXloader will pick up where it was left last time. You can also see in your ticker list the last date, individually for each symbol. For snapshots, you can even see the last trading time for the given price data, displayed according to your local time zone and in your language's format.

System Requirements:
Fully optimized for Retina Macs with high-resolution graphics and text. Compatible with Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10), Mavericks (10.9), Mountain Lion (10.8), Lion (10.7) and Snow Leopard (10.6). Security: StockXloader 4 is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate, so the Gatekeeper in Mountain Lion will check this cryptographic signature and find that this software comes from an identified developer, and has not been modified on the way to you.

A full and completely uncrippled version of StockXloader 4 can be tried out for evaluation up to 60 days.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shredder Chess today announces Chess Online @ ShredderChess.net 1.2, an update to their award-winning chess game for iOS devices. Chess Online provides casual and competitive online gameplay for players of all levels and abilities. Players can compete in tournaments, play or watch games, and view ELO ratings.

Dusseldorf, Germany - Shredder Chess today announces Chess Online @ ShredderChess.net 1.2, an update to their award-winning chess game for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Recognized as one of the best chess programs in the world, Chess Online provides casual and competitive online gameplay for players of all levels and abilities.

"I was very impressed with the way this app was illustrated," reports Emma Mitchel of MobiAppsReview. "Chess is a very old traditional game and I was pleased to see that the developers made the decision to stick to traditional colours and design with the graphics of this game. I really was very impressed with this app and would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of strategic games and enjoys a challenge." (27 Oct 2013)

With a traditionally-designed interface, Chess Online provides a full immersion into the game of chess. Users can play Chess Online within the app itself or within a browser. In addition to offering users the ability to challenge the computer or an opponent of similar abilities to a match, Chess Online allows users to simply engage in the role of bystander and watch another game in progress.

Feature Highlights:
* Traditional and non-distracting User Interface
* Ideal for players of all strengths and abilities

* 5 kinds of time control: Blitz, Bullet, Standard, Correspondence, and Hour Glass

"The Bobby Fischer of chess apps - undoubtedly the best," claims Best Apps. "(Shredder Chess) isn't one to just brag and hand your rear-end to you and leave you laying in a ditch, it wants to nurture you into a grandmaster. There's an adjustable playing standard that learns from your performance to match you against a computer player of relatively equal standing." (5 Jul 2011)

There are five different kinds of gameplay available in Chess Online with games categorized depending on the total estimated time they will complete. Bullet games are very fast, live games that usually conclude within 3 minutes. Blitz are the more traditionally-timed online games and finish within 5 and 15 minutes. Standard games typically last from 30 minutes to several hours. Correspondence are the marathon-style of untimed gameplay that usually last days.

Chess Online also features a special time control known as Hour Glass. In Hour Glass, both players start with a minute on their clock. While the clock of the player to move winds down, the clock of his opponent reloads. Both players need to play close to the same speed to maintain an even advantage. In all categories, Chess Online offers recommended time controls but players can customize them or opt not to use them as well.

"If you are interested in really upping your chess skills," advised Campbell Bird of 148 Apps, "Shredder may be exactly what you need, and you can consider your money well spent. Shredder Chess does more to actually teach players new strategies and how to improve their game than any other chess app I've seen." (10 May 2013)

Chess Online offers chess tournaments in each category every hour. Players can earn Tourney Points and climb the Chess Online leaderboard by competing against an opponent and winning the match. Tournaments are conducted in a round-robin, double round-robin, or swiss style. Chess Online also allows users to review details of upcoming or completed game and share them on Facebook, Messaging, or as a web link. Chess Online provides an integrated experience with the ability to send messages to fellow players, chat during the game with opponents, and receive push notifications for important events like incoming chat messages or when their opponent has made a move.

Chess Online publishes in-depth statistics of results so players can improve their game. By using the "My Analysis" tool, players can try their ideas on a chess board and gain insights on the consequences of a certain line or move. Players can also view their Elo ranking, which is a common rating system in chess. Chess Online also allows users to view Tourney and Elo ratings of their friends and other Chess Online members.

Version 1.2 includes several modifications to increase functionality and improve gameplay. Chess Online provides players the option to disable personal live game challenges and to turn on/off the "Show Legal Moves" setting. The update also features better tournament support and better feedback in the event of a bad connection.

"Whether you're a pro player or a novice, Chess Online @ ShredderChess.net is the game for you," says Eiko Bleicher of Shredder Chess. "Chess Online offers more interactive gameplay options than any other app and provides more in-depth gameplay feedback so you can track and improve your Elo rating.

Always BHappy App Boosts User Moods One Challenge at a Time - Published on 08/14/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The iOS app Always BHappy prompts users each day to dedicate a few minutes to the interest of improving their quality of life and general happiness in a way that's uplifting and fun, and sure to bring a smile. Diary proposals in the form of a daily challenge were developed in part by communication and psychology professionals geared toward inspiring actions that result in positive feelings. Users are also rewarded for the completion of daily proposals with points.

Madrid, Spain - The iOS app Always BHappy prompts users each day to dedicate a few minutes to the interest of improving their quality of life and general happiness in a way that's uplifting and fun, and sure to bring a smile. Diary proposals in the form of a daily challenge were developed in part by communication and psychology professionals geared toward inspiring actions that result in positive feelings.

Aside from the inevitable "fuzzy" feelings, users are also rewarded for the completion of daily proposals with points, all designed to help users feel more confident, positive and enthusiastic. Users get a free "proposal" every day, which might be something as simple as "Call a relative you never talk to and wish him or her a good day." Users earn badges for each proposal completed, and the proposals are grouped into themes called "happy packs." Users can choose these prepared packs that include categories such as sports, pets, business, couples, adventures and many others. The areas were specifically designed to achieve a balance of happiness in many areas of life.

The completion of challenges also earns users various badges throughout their journey. Each badge corresponds to a milestone within the application. For example, the user receives a badge after the first task is completed. Further, people are able to share the badges on social media to let their friends know how they've been trying to improve and possibly even to inspire happiness.

"Ultimately, the user decides whether or not to complete the challenges," said Owner Alfonso Gomez. "The application is all about cultivating happiness by forming healthy habits. It also offers a reward system to encourage the continuation and social sharing of positive actions."

All of the app's proposals are free with the exception of the theme packs, which are available for just Euro1.79. The theme packs are geared towards specific themes that are relevant to a person's goals and desires. Each pack includes 30 related proposals, and after those are depleted, users continue to receive a free general proposal every day.

The app shows a screen of current, pending and completed proposals. Because everyone has bad days, past day's proposals will remain in the pending folder so people can potentially revisit the idea of tackling them. Currently available in English and Spanish, in few days it will be available in Russian, Chinese, German, Portuguese, French, Polish, Italian.

Features:
* Daily proposals to improve mood and general happiness
* Social media integration
* User ability to earn trophies and points to earn more "proposal packs"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* iOS 6.1 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Size: 7.7 MB
* Languages Available: English, Spanish

Pricing and Availability:
Always BHappy 2.02 is available for Free in the AppStore, as well as on Google Play for Android systems with version 2.3.6. The developer of the application is Epinom as the idea and the direction of Alfonso Gomez. For the first days of September 2014, a new version of the application will be launched, including a review of the English translation, and the availability of the app in the following languages: Russian, Chinese, German, Portuguese, Polish, French and Italian.

New App Helps Middle Schoolers Navigate Their Family Relationships - Published on 08/14/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Free Spirit Publishing and Electric Eggplant announce the release of their new iOS app Middle School Confidential 3: What's Up with My Family?, the third app of the much lauded series for tweens and teens. Jack, Jen, Chris, Abby, Mateo, and Michelle - a tight-knit group of middle school friends - realize that growing up often means changes at home. The app follows the gang as they each work through some difficult family situations and learn to appreciate the people they live with even siblings.

San Anselmo, California - "What's Up with My Family?" is based on Book 3 of the award-winning Middle School Confidential book series written by parenting expert and teen adviser Annie Fox, M.Ed., and illustrated by Harvey Award-winner Matt Kindt. Designed for 8- to 14-year-olds, the app gives readers a look at how their peers handle family rules, resolve conflicts, and deal with common challenges of wanting more independence and more freedom to make their own choices. "What's Up with My Family?" puts decision-making power into the hands of readers, with eight interactive quizzes that let them choose how they would handle different family situations. Richly layered audio, cool graphics and effects, and "Meet the Cast" pages with insider information about the characters, and an Epilogue make this an entertaining - as well as enlightening - app for tweens.

Praise For The Middle School Confidential Apps:

"Through believable scenarios depicted on colorful panels, the diverse friends interact at school and in their neighborhood helping one another as they confront self-esteem, friendship, and family issues and discuss truth and courage . . . this is good-quality targeted character education." - School Library Journal

"A must-download for any digital library for 4th through 9th graders, this app series gives youth stories they can relate to with healthy messages about resolving problems, expressing feelings and understanding relationship issues . . . Electric Eggplant has set the gold standard for presenting graphic novels in the digital realm. My highest recommendation!" - Digital Storytime

About The Author

In 2009, Annie began hosting the popular podcast Family Confidential: Secrets of Successful Parenting. In addition to the award-winning Middle School Confidential(TM) series she's the author of the acclaimed parenting book, Teaching Kids to Be Good People. Her latest title, The Girls' Friendship Q&A Book will be available Fall 2014.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile app developers, Sparkle Mobiles has announced the release of Kitty Jump 2.0.43, its free-to-play arcade game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Bypass monsters by using protection which lies on the platforms in the shield form or jump on top of them. Jumps from the top are awarded with extra points. Different boosters help Kitty climb up: the trampoline doubles the jump up, the missile helps to fly fast for a very long distance, and the balloon helps to overcome the distance in twice quicker than the rocket.
