Baby Shapes: New App For Babies Not Just Another Digital Baby-Sitter - Published on 08/21/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Interactive Coconut today introduces Baby Shapes 1.0, their new app for iOS & Android. Baby Shapes has been developed with the assistance of early childhood specialists to provide quality visual stimulation for infants. Intended to be used with a parent or professional closely supervising the infant, this app is not just another digital baby-sitter. The app has been designed closely with industry experts to best stimulate the infant in this crucial period of intellectual & physical development.

Melbourne, Australia - Interactive Coconut today is proud to announce "Baby Shapes" for iOS and Android. Baby Shapes has been developed with the assistance of early childhood specialists to provide quality visual stimulation for infants. Intended to be used with a parent or professional closely supervising the infant, this app is not just another toy or digital baby-sitter. The app has been designed closely with industry experts to best stimulate the infant in this crucial period of intellectual and physical development.

Baby Shapes is presented in stages, representing different phases in infant development. Infants are introduced to basic shapes in high contrast colors. As the stages progress, more shapes and colors are introduced and the infant is rewarded for interacting with the shapes. Audible stimulation has also been considered thoughtfully in the presentation of the stages. Sounds of tranquility and nature are presented to relax the infant and help inspire their curiosity and interest.

Professional features are available for parents and professionals interested in taking advantage of the full potential of Baby Shapes. A statistics module is available to illustrate the progress of the infant over time. A variety of relevant charting options are available, from total taps, to average time per tap, and average time per color. As all infants are unique and respond differently to different stimuli, an additional professional feature permits the user to generate a stage with customized options for the infant. Customization ranges from how the infant can interact with the shapes to the color of the shapes.

Baby Shapes began life over a year ago. "A friend had a baby who was diagnosed with Cortical Visual Impairment and he couldn't find an appropriate app that provided relevant and quality visual stimulation for his son," said Craig Grummitt, director of Interactive Coconut. "With Baby Shapes we wanted to provide an app that could assist infants in their development, customizable to their individual needs."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.0 or later
* Android Phones & Tablets with operating systems v. 2.3.3 or later
* 12 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Baby Shapes 1.0 is free to download and available through the App Store and Google Play worldwide. The app offers two in-app purchases, both valued at 2.99 USD or equivalent in local currency. Configuration provides the ability to generate a user-configured stage, tailored to the unique needs of the infant. Statistics provides access to detailed chart information regarding the progress of the infant.

New Star Walk 2 for iOS Features Stunning Design: 3D Deep Sky Objects - Published on 08/21/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vito Technology today introduces Star Walk 2, the next generation of company's best-selling stargazing guide. Redesigned from the inside out, the new Star Walk 2 is a much faster and smoother app, that combined with a cleaner and simpler interface delivers an effortless journey through thousands of stars, comets, and constellations. All-new exclusive handcrafted artwork for constellations, inspired by minimalist low-poly art and stunning new sound effects create an unforgettable stargazing tool.

Alexandria, Virginia - Vito Technology, the award-winning developer of educational apps for Android and iOS, today launched Star Walk 2, the next generation of company's best-selling stargazing guide, that has surpassed 10 million downloads to date. New features include all-new interface design, true-to-life 3D visualization of constellations, deep sky objects, and man-made satellites.

Redesigned from the inside out, new Star Walk 2 is a much faster and smoother app, that combined with a cleaner and simpler interface delivers an effortless journey through thousands of stars, comets, and constellations. All-new exclusive handcrafted artwork for constellations, inspired by minimalist low-poly art and stunning new sound effects create an unforgettable stargazing tool.

Important addition to the app was made in cooperation with scientists of Braunschweig University of Technology, who have been working on volumetric visualisation of deep space objects. As a result of this partnership, Star Walk 2 is the first astronomy guide to introduce plausible three-dimensional models of planetary nebulae.

Star groupings of the 88 officially recognised constellations are also presented in volume. Users can see them as separate entities, turn them around and take a look from the other side. Complemented by articles on connected myths and history, this is the most comprehensive collection of information on constellations.

Star Walk 2 is a sequel of the well-known Star Walk app that was released back in 2008 and has acquired more than 10 million users across the world on iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle, and Windows Phone. It's been an educational best-seller for over five years and won multiple awards, including Apple Design Award in 2010. Star Walk lets you easily find and identify thousands of stars, satellites, and comets in real time. Using built-in digital compass and motion tracking, this stargazing guide turns your phone into a full-on planetarium.

New In Star Walk 2:

All-new stunning design

* Exclusive handcrafted artwork for constellations, inspired by minimalist low-poly art

* Dwarf planets, comets, and asteroids*
* Man-made satellites*

* Available through In-App Purchase. Constellations are available for free for limited time.

Features:

Real-Time Motion Tracking:
As you hold your phone up and point it towards the sky, Star Walk 2 follows your motions using the built-in gyroscope to match the map on your screen to the stars seen from your location. Easily find any star, constellation, or satellite in the sky by tapping Search. Star Walk will indicate the direction to look in.

New Point Of View:
Unlike on a plain photograph, every star in Star Walk 2 has coordinates. That means you can look at objects, for instance, a constellation from any vantage point in space, not to mention the ultimate accuracy of your map for your exact location.

Now And Later:
Star Walk 2 gives you accurate daily data on current moon phase, time of sunset and sunrise, and elevation of planets. With just one slide you can see how the sky will look later tonight or throughout the year.

Pro Stargazing:
Special night-time soft red mode will help you preserve night vision when stargazing with a telescope. You can see the sky in X-Ray (and 5 more filters) to study the invisible structure of the universe. Live tracking for over 8,000 satellites will help you catch iridium flares, and detailed articles will satisfy the most curious inquirer.

Language Support:

Vitamin-R Pomodoro tool syncs between iOS devices and Mac versions - Published on 08/21/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

publicspace has brought Vitamin-R, its powerful time boxing solution, to the iPhone. Vitamin-R breaks down large, vaguely defined tasks into a series of short time slices of between 10 and 30 minutes, each with specific, easily reachable and actionable objectives - helping to improve focus and overcome procrastination. This latest version features seamless synchronization between the Mac and iPhone version allowing users to track their time slices whether they are on their desk or on the move.

Canach, Luxembourg - publicspace has brought Vitamin-R, its powerful time boxing solution in the Pomodoro Technique tradition, from the Mac to the iPhone. Vitamin-R creates optimal conditions for your brain by structuring your work into short bursts of distraction-free, highly-focused activity alternating with opportunities for renewal, reflection and intuition. The built-in task logging and analysis features create positive momentum towards productivity by providing you with visible feedback on your progress and achievements.

Today's latest release introduces Dropbox sync between the iPhone and the Mac version. This new feature allows users to capture time slices whether they are working on their desks or on the go. Dropbox sync can be used to sync between multiple Macs, iOS devices or simply as an off-device backup method.

Slices Up Daunting Tasks into Manageable Chunks:
* Vitamin-R breaks down large, vaguely defined tasks into a series of short "time slices" of between 10 and 30 minutes, each with specific, easily reachable and actionable objectives. During these time slices it keeps you focused on accomplishing only this one objective and provides you with mechanisms for dealing with interruptions, poor concentration, etc.

Gets You Started:
* Vitamin-R concentrates on getting you started allowing you to break through the resistance of procrastination and create a positive feedback loop of small achievements that get you closer to your ultimate aims. You will experience less stress caused by looming deadlines and a lack of clear direction, thus enabling you to enjoy guilt-free breaks that allow your intuition and creativity to emerge.

Keeps You Focused:
* Vitamin-R features an array of highly configurable visual, audio and speech notifications that get you back to your task as soon as your attention starts wandering.

Effective Task Switching:
* Task switching is a big, but often unavoidable productivity killer. So when you need to switch tasks Vitamin-R will make it as efficient as possible and help you pick up where you left off later on.

Productive Breaks:
* Regular breaks are not for slackers. In fact, taking regular breaks is especially important for people who work with high focus. Vitamin-R's timed breaks make sure that your renewal break does not turn into a free afternoon and the "priming" technique allows your intuition to work overtime before you even start on a time slice.

Find Your Rhythm:
* Each one of us is different. Finding out what works best for you is the key to true productivity. Vitamin-R gives you the tools to gain awareness of where you spend your time and what works for you. Armed with this new knowledge, you can eliminate unproductive work patterns and discover the work rhythm that suits you best.

Make It Your Own:
* Vitamin-R plugs into your life rather than trying to take it over. You can use it occasionally to overcome procrastination or mental blocks or re-organize your entire working life around the concepts that it embodies.

Ideal for Pomodoro Technique:
* Vitamin-R provides everything you need to implement the Pomodoro Technique: sophisticated timer, log book and analysis components.

Always in sync:
* Multiple iOS devices and Macs can be kept synchronized easily with Dropbox sync
Attention Deficit Disorder:
* Vitamin-R was never specifically designed with ADHD "suffers" in mind, but many ADHD-ers have found Vitamin-R's approach to focusing attention particularly valuable.

Students:
* Vitamin-R is used by many students, especially in Medical School (who will get the joke) to revise for their exam and help them achieve to the best of their abilities.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Vitamin-R for iPhone 1.0.7 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.

Perth, Australia - Kabuki Vision today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Dressed 1.0 for iPhone. Dressed is a fashion app that lets users keep track of their entire wardrobe and plan new outfits within a virtual closet. A user's own clothing, shoes, and accessories can be managed in Dressed and the app will keep track of details like brand, color, season, function, and custom tags.

The user interface of Dressed is designed for fun and ease of use. Garments are manipulated directly by using intuitive touch gestures, and immersive animations are used throughout the app.

"We're especially proud of is the interactive animations, like the way the garments realistically swish and sway as you interact with them," says Adam Shaw, developer of Dressed. "It's the kind of app that reminds us of how fun fashion can be."

Dressed supports a number of easy ways to import images of garments into the app. Images can be imported from the iPhone's photo library, camera, or copied from any web source. Additionally, Dressed provides a large assortment of image templates which represent a variety of common garment styles. Template images can be filled with colors and patterns.

Dressed was created by husband-wife team Adam and Kara Shaw. The idea for Dressed first came about years ago when Adam, a seasoned software developer, was brainstorming ideas for his first app to create for the App Store. His then-girlfriend Kara, a marine biologist and fashion maven, suggested an app that would help her keep track of her clothing and plan new outfits. Together, Adam and Kara refined the idea and designed how the app would work. The end result is Dressed, an app that is literally years in the making.

New iOS Children's Reading App Powered by Nuance Voice Recognition - Published on 08/21/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based app developer, Sprite Kids today introduces Speaktacular Sight Words Edu 1.0, a revolutionary app available exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Using intelligent voice recognition powered by Nuance, Speaktacular Sight Words allows kindergarten through third grade children to use their own voices to recognize and properly pronounce words from three unique word lists critical to reading development. Voice input complements the widely-used touch interface on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, enabling the app to hear, correct, and track the word read by the child.

Fremont, California - Award-winning children's app developer, Sprite Kids today is thrilled to announce the launch of Speaktacular Sight Words, available exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Speaktacular Sight Words is a revolutionary app that allows kindergarten through third grade children to use their own voices to recognize and properly pronounce words from three unique word lists critical to reading development. The app is powered by the NDEV Mobile developer program from Nuance Communications, a leading provider of voice and language solutions for businesses and consumers around the world.

In Speaktacular Sight Words, voice input complements the widely-used touch interface on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, enabling the app to hear, correct, and track the word read by the child. This automates the learning process, while leveraging an underutilized sensory input available on smart devices. It encourages children to use and develop their speech skills, which otherwise they do not develop when interacting with these devices. Children not only familiarize themselves with new words, but learn to actually read them and articulate them.

Speaktacular Sight Words features three word lists critical to learning to read: the Dolch Sight Words, Academic Vocabulary Words, and Trouble Words. Compiled by leading educational experts, the Dolch Sight Words list includes 220 words 95 nouns encountered in children's books and are critical during the early stages of reading development. The Academic Vocabulary word list includes 287 academic vocabulary words that meet Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and are traditionally used in academic dialogue and text. These words are commonly used to help students understand oral directions and classroom instructional dialog, as well as comprehend text across different content areas - including math, science, and social studies/history. The Trouble Words list includes 125 words that special needs children often need extra help learning.

"For the first time in the children's app market, we've been able to utilize the same world-recognized voice recognition software that powers some of the world's most powerful brands, and applied it to one of the most critical skills in the learning process; teaching children to read and correctly annunciate their words in an interactive and exciting format where they're rewarded for their efforts," said Sprite Kids Founder Nikita Kapoor.

Traditionally, parents and teachers have used flashcards or lists to teach children the most frequently used words. Instead of showing children flashcards over and over again, Speaktacular Sight Words features more than 700 commonly used words that are taught to children by Miko, an interactive monkey avatar who encourages them to advance by capturing their attention.

Miko guides children through the articulation adventure by instructing each child to read a word on the screen. First, he listens and understands the word read by the child using Nuance's voice recognition technology. Then, he provides them with encouraging feedback in smiles or by shaking his head if the spoken word is pronounced incorrectly.

Parents and teachers can choose between two settings: a teaching mode where a child is read a word and asked to repeat it or practice mode where a child can read and learn independently. After reading five words, children are given a puzzle to solve which motivates them to learn five more words. As they progress, they are given new games and puzzles to complete.

Parents and teachers can individually see the progress of one child or an entire classroom with an innovative word-tracking option that automatically flags words a child is struggling with. Up to 30 user accounts can be established per app, allowing a parent with several kids of different ages or a teacher of an entire class to see the results and progress of each child independently. For words read incorrectly, the educator can hear what the child said when they read the word aloud. This allows parents and teachers to help the child review the troubled word and keep track of progress. Words to be read are displayed with the Dyslexia Font to make it easier for readers with dyslexia. A Custom Word List feature lets users create their own word list by choosing the words from all of the available word lists.

"Sprite Kids' Speaktacular Sight Words App will forever change how teachers and students learn and practice the invaluable reading component of mastering sight words," said Jayne Clare, special education professional and co-founder of Teachers with Apps. "Speaktacular Sight Words is engaging, informative, and, most importantly, advantageous for students and teachers."
