IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FlipBox Games today announces Falling Fox 1.2, an update to its popular game for iPhone, iPad and iPad touch. Simple and easy to pick up, Falling Fox is a free fall arcade game.

The list of changes include two brand new stages, a new skill called Spirit Blade, new power-ups and costumes. Version 1.2 also includes numerous bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and cosmetic upgrades.

Singapore - FlipBox Games today is proud to announce the release of Falling Fox 1.2, an update to its popular game for the iPhone, iPad and iPad touch. Falling Fox is a free fall arcade game featuring Roki the Fox, an adventurous treasure hunter. One day, he came across a treasure map left inside a chest. The map showed an island with the words 'Gold Coins' written on top, triggering Roki's interests. However he will soon find out that getting those gold coins will not be so easy. Also, there's something big going on behind the scenes. Just who is that sinister cat that calls himself the Mysterious Trader?

Falling Fox uses a game mechanic that is not widely popular. Unlike most vertical games that depicts the player going from bottom to top, Roki will start from the top and fall to the bottom.

The ShopSavvy update includes sales information from over half a million retail partners, up from less than 40,000 last year.

"People don't want to sort through emails from 10 or 20 different stores each month to track the products and brands that they are interested in. We don't just aggregate deals on the store level but down the product SKU level to help users who check for sales and deals daily. We make it possible for consumers to get the information they want on just the items they want, with all the sales in one place," said ShopSavvy CEO John Boyd.

Using ShopSavvy to follow those brands or a particular SKU, the shopper can be notified when any store is having a sale, without having to check all the stores that sell those brands," explained Boyd.

Perhaps the most powerful update in this summer's release is the brand new product screen. This screen aggregates local and online prices, reviews videos, images from over 500,000 retailers well as tips and reviews from the ShopSavvy community.

New product screen features:
* See the up-to-the-second best price so users know exactly how much they're saving
* Swipe left/right on products to see the previous/next products in the set you're viewing - This enables comparison shopping with ease and puts the very best deals just a swipe away (currently iOS only)
* More photos and videos for products than ever before, users can tap the large photo on any product to see them all full screen
* Users can read long-form reviews and ratings of products
* See recent activity
* Check out related recommended products
* Tips and reviews from the global ShopSavvy community in new global social feed (crowd sourced deals)

"ShopSavvy will remain the leading app for in store price savings, but we've also evolved into a complete and customized service for consumers to save time and money," added Boyd.

PopChar X 6.6 supports Unicode 7.0, shows characters in Unicode context - Published on 08/19/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ergonis Software today released PopChar X 6.6, a new version of the company's award-winning tool for efficiently exploring fonts as well as finding and inserting special characters. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. PopChar X 6.6 supports the brand-new version 7.0 of the Unicode standard, is prepared for Apple's next-generation Mac OS Yosemite, and offers a list of further improvements and enhancements.

Perg, Austria - Ergonis Software today released PopChar X 6.6, a new version of the company's award-winning tool for efficiently exploring fonts as well as for finding and inserting special characters. PopChar X 6.6 supports the brand-new version 7.0 of the Unicode standard. Unicode 7.0 integrates 2834 new characters, and PopChar 6.6 can now identify these new characters by their names.

Among these characters are the new currency symbols for the Russian ruble, many other symbols, as well as approximately 250 emoji symbols, most of them deriving from characters in widespread use in Wingdings and Webdings fonts. An improved "Scripts and Symbols" layout also better matches the definitions in the Unicode standard. The new Unicode standard has been defined only recently, and fonts that support it have yet to be developed, but PopChar 6.6 is already prepared for releases of fonts that contain the new characters.

PopChar has been available even before the Unicode consortium was founded, and has been supporting the Unicode standard since 2002. In fact, PopChar has become indispensable for everyone dealing with special characters and different fonts, since Unicode fonts have evolved to contain tens of thousands instead of hundreds of characters per font.

PopChar X 6.6 also introduces a new feature "Show in Unicode context" that lets you easily search for a character and then view this character in its Unicode context. This is very helpful to find similar other characters in the neighborhood within the Unicode table.

In addition, PopChar X 6.6 offers many other improvements, like faster display of the character table, internal streamlining gaining further efficiency improvements, preparation for Apple's next-generation operating system Yosemite, and more.

Visit Ergonis Software's website to view the list of improvements and enhancements contained in this release and to download a trial copy.

PopChar solves a problem faced by every technologist and multi-lingual worker. Inserting special characters into application documents can be frustrating and results in a steady loss of productivity. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document right away. Starting with PopChar 6, you can even take a new look at fonts from a designer's perspective - see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets.

System Requirements:
PopChar X 6.6 requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer, is fully compatible with OS X Mavericks (10.9), and prepared for OS X Yosemite (10.10).

Availability and Ordering:
PopChar X can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website. The upgrade to PopChar 6.6 is free for anyone who owns a valid license for PopChar X 6. Upgrade paths are available for owners of older licenses. See the company's web site for information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers. Instead of purchasing PopChar separately, customers can save money by ordering the Ergonis Productivity Bundle, which also includes the text expander Typinator and the keyboard shortcut helper KeyCue.

Partners in Rhyme Lite 1.4 for Mac OS - Four Games That Teach Rhyming - Published on 08/19/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minneapolis based Preschool University today introduces Partners in Rhyme 1.4 for Mac OS X, their seventh educational app on the Mac OS X store that help young children learn the important skill of rhyming. Utilizing proven Montessori principles, Partners in Rhyme helps build strong phonemic awareness skills and helps develop foundational reading skills. Four learning games offer different fun ways to practice and learn rhyming for young children.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Preschool University today is pleased to announce the release of Partners in Rhyme 1.4 for Mac OS, their seventh educational app designed to help young children learn the important skill of rhyming. This app utilizes proven Accelerated Learning Techniques and Montessori principles. Partners in Rhyme helps build strong phonemic awareness skills and helps develop foundational reading skills through entertaining and interactive games. The app's four different learning games all help develop rhyming skills in different ways. Children are hearing the sounds of words and matching rhyming pictures, or discerning whether or not certain word and picture pairings rhyme.

Preschool University apps have been among the most popular, free reading skill apps on the Mac App Store. They have even made it to the top ten list. According to Preschool University President, Richard Colombini, "Rhyming is a great way to begin phonemic awareness with young children. Rhyming games help children develop phonemic awareness by allowing them to focus on the sounds most easily discernible in words: the final sounds."

Partners in Rhyme operates in portrait orientation. From the Home Page, users can select one of the four games.

The first mode of play is 'Line Matching:'
A secondary menu is brought up after leaving the main menu page. On this new page, users determine if they would like to do 'Line Matching' with either 6, 8, 10 or 12 objects. After deciding this and choosing one of the four options, the app user will then be brought to a page with a column of pictures on the left and a column of pictures on the right. Each picture will say its name when touched. The object is to connect a picture on the left with its rhyming counterpart on the right by connecting the two pictures with colored yarn. A success is revealed by the pictures staying connected with the colored yarn. An incorrect guess will have the yarn disappear. Play continues until all of the pictures are connected. Then a new screen will appear just like before with pictures on the right and left to match. After successfully clearing five screens, stars will flash across the screen and gameplay is done, and the user can return to the home menu.

'Matching' is the second mode of game play:
After touching the 'Matching' icon on the main page, the app user is brought to a menu where they can choose to match 6, 8, 10 or 12 objects. After choosing one of the four options, the app user will hear the app voice say, "Find the matches." The app user is brought to a screen where they see some photos and watch as they disappear into pink cards with stars on them. If one of the game cards is touched, it will sound off a word as the picture is revealed. The app user must then select another card. If the two cards have words that rhyme, the cards will vanish. If the two cards do not rhyme, the photos will spin back to the pink cards. Gameplay continues until all of the matches are found, whereupon, stars dance and twirl on the screen. The user can return to the home menu by tapping the home icon.

'Do They Rhyme' gives children a fun way to listen and discern if two words rhyme:
From the main menu the user taps on the 'Do They Rhyme' icon. The app voice announces, "Do they rhyme?" The user is brought to a page with a "yes" hand and a "no" hand at the bottom of the page. There are two blank boxes next to each other. First one picture and then another fill the space. The app announces "hat" as the first picture appears, and "cat" as the second picture appears. The app user is then to tap on the correct hand below since these two words do indeed rhyme. If the user taps the yes hand, it will spin around as a bell sounds off, and two more words will appear. If the user chooses the no hand for the hat/cat combo, then there would be an error message, and the no hand would grey out. The user would need to tap the yes hand to finish this screen, and go onto the next screen. There is a counter in the lower left of the screen that keeps track of how many items have been completed. Gameplay can continue until the user is done. The counter easily tracks over 100
rounds. When the user is done with this game, they can tap on the home icon to return to the main menu.

'Which Set Rhymes' is the fourth game on Partners in Rhyme:
After touching this icon on the menu page, the user is brought to a page with two pictures side by side on top of the page, and two pictures side by side on the bottom of the page. Pictures appear in the boxes as their words are sounded out by the adult female voice of the app. In the top two boxes appear a frog and then a dog. In the bottom two boxes a frog appears and then a photo of a boy yelling. The app says, "frog, dog. Frog, yell." A token appears in the middle of the screen. The app user is to move the token to the correct rhyming pair, in this case the frog and the dog. Placing the token anywhere on the game tile, where the two side by side pictures reside, will be seen as a success. The token will twirl as a bell sounds off and new pictures appear. If the user guesses incorrectly, the token will grey out, and bounce back to the center so that it can be placed correctly. The user must place it on the correct pair for gameplay to continue.

Feature Highlights:
* Four learning games provide practice in hearing and listening for rhyming words
* All pictures will say their word when touched
* Different levels of difficulty can be chosen
* Learn to match rhyming words
