Atsumeru - The GIF and Reaction Image Management App - Now Free to Try - Published on 08/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie software developer, Sascha M Holesch today announces Atsumeru 1.2, an update to his popular image organizer for iOS. Offering a complete package for collecting, organizing and sharing images, Atsumeru was made specifically to help users manage animated GIFs and other reaction images for private viewing as well as for sharing. Images can be added by importing them from the iPhone's photo roll, the clipboard, a designated folder in the user's Dropbox or by doing a Giphy powered search.

Aizuwakamatsu, Japan - Independent software developer, Sascha M Holesch today is pleased to announce the newest update of Atsumeru for iOS, which had been approved for release in all regions. Atsumeru was made specifically to help users manage animated GIFs and other reaction images for private viewing as well as for later sharing with others.

The 3 main problems Atsumeru is solving are:
* Finding and collecting (animated) images
* Organizing a collection of images
* Sharing images from a collection

Images can be added by importing them from the iPhone's photo roll, the clipboard, a designated folder in the user's Dropbox (if they chose to link the application to it) or by doing a Giphy powered search.

Once images are inside Atsumeru, they can be conveniently renamed, starred and tagged. Atsumeru comes with a set of predefined categories to quickly access favourites or only browse all collected animated GIFs. More tags can be easily created and assigned to images. This becomes very handy after the number of images in Atsumeru grew significantly: Tags and image names can be searched for with the integrated search functionality.

After selecting an image and watching it in Atsumeru, a simple tap on the share button in the bottom right enables sharing via iMessage and email as well as Google and Twitter. Atsumeru can upload animated GIFs to Twitter natively as well as sharing them via Dropbox link. For services not yet directly supported it is also possible to upload an image to Dropbox and copy the share URL to the iPhone's clipboard to paste into any other App on the user's device.

"There is a plethora of Apps out there to manage photographs, but the market of good Apps for us people who love animated GIFs and reaction images is rather small.," explained Sascha Holesch. "We want to collect fun images to use them in conversations with our friends or share them otherwise to express feelings and make statements. Atsumeru is free to try. I want everybody who is into reaction images to be able to have a look at Atsumeru. I believe especially the organisation capabilities, the ease of sharing, as well as the support for image formats other than GIF makes Atsumeru very attractive."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.1 or later
* 4 MB (+file size of collected images)

Pricing and Availability:
Atsumeru 1.2 is free to try for a collection size of up to 10 images and is localised into English, German and Japanese. This limit can be removed with a small In App Purchase. It is available exclusively through the App Store in the "Photo & Video" or "Entertainment" category from August 15th.

Visual to-do App Orderly undergoes major update - Published on 08/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tekton Technologies today announces Orderly - Tasks and To-Do Lists 2.5, a major update to their popular productivity app developed for iOS devices. Exclusively designed based on how the human mind visualizes to-do lists, Orderly features nice simple gestures, adding even more convenience and ease of use as well as auto adjustment of fonts based on the amount of content. Featuring awesome themes and location based reminders, Orderly makes sure that a task never goes unnoticed.

San Jose, California - Tekton Technologies today is thrilled to announce the release of Orderly - Tasks and To-Do Lists 2.5, a major update to their productivity app exclusively designed for iOS7, with nice simple gestures, and auto adjustment of fonts based on the amount of content, adding even more convenience and ease of use for users of this App. Featuring awesome themes and location based reminders, the App makes sure that a task never goes unnoticed.

Once a to-do is created, it is displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all their To-Dos, expand and contract them with pinch gestures, edit items, change their priority, mark them as complete, or swipe them to delete. The app includes two full-screen bookshelves, Home and Work, allowing users to keep To-Dos posted according to priority and location.

The extraordinary simplicity, practicality, and design of Orderly sets it apart from the many To-Do apps available. Having concluded that pinches and swipes are ergonomically more efficient than taps (which require hitting a target button), Tekton Technologies has employed the fundamental principles of human factors to design a To-Do list app that is highly efficient, instantly informative, and accommodates to the daily needs of real people. With its intuitive gesture based commands, the learning curve for the app and all its features is about one minute.

Feature Highlights:
* Gesture driven interface
* Visually move tasks on the board view
* Never miss a task, with powerful Location based reminders
* Cloud sync now enhanced with Box platform
* DropBox sync tasks across multiple devices
* Automatically re-prioritises your To-Do tasks based on the day
* Pinch to zoom in/out, to have a quick glimpse of the To-Do
* Automatic reminders and management of your daily to-do lists

"Orderly - Tasks and To-Do Lists is the most natural way to create your To-Do lists using simple iPhone gestures," states Tekton Technologies. "All your tasks and to-dos is presented as simple visual list notes, so that you can create to-dos and post them on your board. This App allows you to prioritize your to-do tasks, without the hassle of misplacing a note or forgetting an item, just because there are too many to-dos to manage. The best part of the app is that Orderly automatically prioritizes your to-dos by moving around those list notes."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 5.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Orderly 2.5 is now available at a price of $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available on request.

Modular 1.06 Free for iOS - Groundbreaking, Virtual Analog Synthesizer - Published on 08/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pulse Code today announces an update to Modular 1.06 for iOS, its studio-quality, virtual analog synthesizer, featuring 30 different modules, band-limited oscillators, and oversampled filters. Far more flexible than fixed synthesizer designs, the app lets users interconnect and independently control Source, Filter, Amplifier/Routing, Modulation, Envelope, Effect, and Special modules. Ideal for synth enthusiasts, it provides all the advantages of modular synthesis in an expandable app.

Trabuco Canyon, California - Pulse Code today is proud to announce Modular 1.06 free for iOS, its studio-quality, virtual analog synthesizer, featuring 30 different modules, band-limited oscillators, and oversampled filters. Far more flexible than fixed synthesizer designs, the app lets users interconnect and independently control Source, Filter, Amplifier/Routing, Modulation, Envelope, Effect, and Special modules. It looks, acts, and sounds like a hardware modular synthesizer, providing musicians with pulse width modulation, oscillator sync, 4-pole ladder filters, and 1V/oct filter tracking. Modular supports Audiobus, SoundCloud, and CoreMIDI, as well as AudioCopy, so that the user's music-making workflow is streamlined and integrated. Ideal for professional musicians or beginners, it provides all the advantages of modular synthesis in an expandable app.

Feature Highlights:
* High fidelity, virtual analog synthesis, using band-limited oscillators, and oversampled filters
* Audiobus 2 and background audio modes
* CoreMIDI control with external devices or internal sequencers
* Beautifully rendered graphics
* Dynamic workspace with intuitive navigation
* Optional modules available individually or as a Module Bundle
* 10-octave keyboard with classically styled arpeggiator
* Extensive in-app help with detailed module descriptions and guides
* Record and export live performances to SoundCloud, AudioCopy, email, and iTunes file sharing

Modular creates sound primarily through subtractive synthesis. In subtractive synthesis, a harmonically rich sound source is modified by subtracting unwanted harmonics to make the desired sound. Source modules consist of oscillators and noise generators; Modifier modules include filters and effects; Amplifier modules change the loudness of the sound over time; envelope generators and low-frequency oscillators are used as Controller modules; and Routing modules allow users to split, combine, fade, or invert signals between modules.

Free Modules:
* VCO-01 - band-limited, voltage controlled oscillator
* VCF-01 - 2-pole, resonance, low pass filter with frequency modulation
* VCA-01 - amplifier with an initial level knob and control voltage/gate
* MIX-02 - combines three input signals into one output
* SPLIT-03 - splits one input signal into three output signals
* INV-04 - utility module that inverts the input signal
* LFO-01 - low frequency oscillator used as a control voltage source fed to other modules
* EG-01 - standard attack, decay, sustain envelope generator
* EG-02 - standard decay envelope generator
* DELAY-01 - standard delay effect module
* BOOL-01 - applies one of three Boolean functions to two input signals
* RING-02 - ring modulator that multiplies two signals together
* SH-03 - standard sample and hold module
* Keyboard - basic synthesizer controller with built-in arpeggiator

Optional Modules:
* VCO-11 - advanced, band-limited, voltage controlled oscillator
* VCO-12 - advanced, analog modeling voltage controlled oscillator
* VCO-13 - advanced, super wave oscillator
* NG-17 - noise generator that outputs both white and pink noise
* VCF-11 - advanced, 2-pole, resonance filter with individual low, band, and high-pass outputs
* VCF-12 - 4-pole, resonance, ladder filter with low-pass output
* VCA-11 - improved amplifier module over the VCA-01
* XFADE-12 - crossfades two signals and outputs the result
* PAN-13 - mono to stereo panner
* LFO-11 - advanced low frequency oscillator
* EG-11 - standard attack, decay, sustain, release envelope generator
* SLEW-13 - slew generator that smoothes out the transitions of an incoming signal
* EG-16 - advanced DELAY, ATTACK, HOLD, DECAY, SUSTAIN, RELEASE envelope generator
* DELAY-11 - advanced, delay effect unit
* DIST-13 - distortion effect module
* RING-16 - ring / amp modulator
* SH-17 - advanced sample and hold

"What makes Modular special is the audio and visual experience you have with it," emphasized Louie Iturzaeta of Pulse Code, Inc. "The beautifully minimal menu systems and interface, and the ultra-realistic synthesizer graphics are just the beginning. The real beauty is not what you see, but what you hear. Pristine and punchy oscillators that sound great, even at the extreme ends of the frequency spectrum. It starts with band-limited oscillators. Not just traditional methods of band-limiting, but band-limiting that enables each note you play to have the maximum number of harmonics without distorting. Every detail of the audio has been analyzed to provide you the most amazing sound possible, with buttery-smooth filter sweeps and resonance so stable you can use the filter as an oscillator!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 38.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Modular 1.06 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.

Birthday and Special Event Date Reminder App: Birthday Board Updated - Published on 08/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Birthday Board 2.0.0 from Superdik trading b.v. lets users store, organize and remember the birthdays, anniversaries or special event dates of everyone they care about. Users can choose from among five beautiful design themes. Version 2.0.0 of the unique no-cost app now features the option to send a virtual greeting card via email or Facebook, the ability to sync data across multiple iOS devices, and an enhanced birthday countdown.

Cupertino, California - Fans of Superdik trading b.v.'s brilliant, no-cost app Birthday Board can now head to the App Store, and download the new version 2.0.0 to enjoy an array of cool new features that add a whole new world of functionality and fun. For those who aren't yet familiar with the app, Birthday Board lets iPhone and iPad users store, organize and remember the birthdays, anniversaries or special event dates of everyone they care about, such as family members, friends, colleagues, classmates, and the list goes on.

Users simply choose from among five beautiful design themes - "Flat", "Glass", "Plastic", "Paper" or "Photos" - and then import contacts and birthdays from their Facebook account, or from their Contacts application. They can also manually add contacts in a matter of seconds, as well as edit the data (name, gender, birthday, photo) of any entry.

Plus, since the app let's users create multiple lists (a.k.a. "birthday boards"), organizing entries is a breeze. For example, users can create a birthday board specifically for family members, another just for Facebook friends, another for colleagues at work, and so on. Navigating from one board to another takes a simple swipe.

Once the app is populated with data, then the real fun begins because Birthday Board features a remarkable built-in countdown timer and alarm, which ensures that users never miss a birthday, anniversary or special event data again. It's perfect for everyone from social butterflies who lose track of a multitude of names and dates, to the notoriously forgetful among us who never seem to remember important dates until they've passed - by days, weeks, or sometimes even months.

Other Birthday Board special features include the option to:
* Share the countdown and entire birthday boards with friends via Twitter and Facebook
* See how much time is left before a particular birthday, anniversary or special event
* See their friends' Zodiac sign
* Configure exactly when they want the reminder alarm to go off
* Backup birthday boards to avoid losing contacts - even when changing a device

And now in version 2.0.0, users can easily and simply:
* Send anyone on their birthday board a virtual greeting card via email, or by posting it on Facebook
* Sync data across all of their iOS devices
* Enjoy an enhanced countdown

"Even people with a fantastic memory sometimes forget a birthday, anniversary or other special event date," commented a spokesperson from Superdik trading b.v. "And then there are millions of us who have an average memory, and find that the more people we meet and connect with, the harder it is to keep track of these key dates. Fortunately, Birthday Board makes remembering easy, fun and convenient. And now in the latest version, users can do even more!"

Version 2.0.0 has been thoughtfully designed to automatically localize the names of each month to each user's language selection (as configured on their iOS device).

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

Pricing and Availability:
Birthday Board 2.0.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

GRIDS Embarks Gamers on a Legendary Quest to Master Blocks and Puzzles - Published on 08/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GRIDS 1.04 from independent developer Peter Cholewinski is a brilliant new block stacking/clearing game that pays homage to Tetris in spirit, but delivers something totally unique, new and addictively fun. Each level features a monster who can only be defeated through a special line-clearing combo. The iOS game features over 80 unique levels, more than 10 game modes, 3 play modes, nearly 100 helpful items, over 60 tunes in the soundtrack, a monster to defeat, and more.

Cupertino, California - Many years ago, Tetris captured the minds and hearts of millions of gamers worldwide, and forever changed the gaming landscape. Since then, countless games have attempted - and failed - to capture that glorious essence. The reason? They've tried to duplicate an idea from the past, rather than create something fresh and exciting for a new generation of modern gamers. Fortunately, there are exceptions to every trend, because Peter Cholewinski has finally done what hundreds of game developers before him have failed to accomplish: create a game that pays homage to Tetris in spirit, but delivers something totally unique, new and addictively fun: GRIDS.

Available in the App Store for iPad and iPhone, GRIDS features 81 fabulously designed levels - ranging from refreshingly simple to mind-bendingly complex - in which gamers must re-position and re-orient variously sized figures (starting with 3, 4 and 5 bricks, and jumping to 6, 7 and 8 bricks as the levels get harder) in order to clear lines and score points. And that's just the beginning.

Because, in addition to letting gamers play each level as often as they wish in order to reach for higher scores, GRIDS features more than 10 brilliant game modes - such as line clearing, color matching, linked grids, and more - and nearly 100 items that can be snagged during gameplay or obtained via the shop, which help solve puzzles and overcome obstacles. And still, the world of GRIDS still has more to offer.

That's because each level features a monster who can only be defeated through a special line-clearing combo that gamers must figure out on their own (or use one of their items for a hint). It's an element that adds both fun and intrigue to an already feature-packed game. With that being said, gamers who aren't in a monster mood can run the cool monster blocker.

And speaking of features, other GRIDS goodies include:
* Extremely easy swipe and tap controls
* Awesome music with more than 60 tracks
* Crisp graphics that look great on the Retina display
* 3 unique play modes to keep things lively and interesting

"Tetris was and always will be a legendary game, and I can't count how many hours I spent stacking blocks and clearing lines," commented Peter Cholewinski. "However, the gaming world has changed a lot - especially in the last few years - and now it's time for something fresh, new, exciting and, of course, super addictive and fun. Those are the ingredients that I've crafted into GRIDS, and I hope that people around the world love playing it as much as I did creating it!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 75.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
GRIDS 1.04 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
