Selfie:Wars turns the Photo Trend into an Outrageously Fun & Risque Game - Published on 09/25/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PunchBoom Games releases Selfie:Wars 1.0, their new game title for iOS devices. Selfie:Wars lets you share your own selfies and view others, but there is an insanely fun catch; each selfie is obscured or scrambled. In order to view the original image, you must play and win one of four games chosen by the selfie-ographer. The game creates fun, special moments shared privately between a couple, as well as creating lots of laughs as families, friends and colleagues enjoy the fanfare and photos.

Istanbul, Turkey - With all of those selfies posted around the world, you'd think someone would have thought of Selfie Wars sooner - but now, Onsel Akin at PunchBoom Games has done it! The app creates new excitement and intrigue for millions of users, who can set up game questions and quizzes you'll have to answer in order to see that silly or special selfie that you've just been dying to share.

"Think of a scenario where a girl sends her selfie to her boyfriend," explains Akin, co-founder of the PunchBoom enterprise in Istanbul. "Her boyfriend must beat the games she chose to see his girlfriend's selfie. The game creates these fun, special moments shared privately between the couple, but it's also creating lots of laughs as families, friends, colleagues and teammates enjoy the fanfare and photos."

Games like "Selfie Quiz" and "Selfie Crush" are easy to use from your iPhone, and you can log in from a Facebook or email account in a snap. Set up one of the four games like "Burning Giraffe" - it requires you to safely fly a flappy giraffe through an obstacle course first - and your selfie shot will be obscured or scrambled until the game is "won." The user also may view other Selfie Wars shots posted from around the world. But the app offers other alternatives, too, including anonymous settings - you can send your selfie to a friend or the planet, but it remains a mystery when using the Selfie Wars settings.

Features:
* Four fun games with high-quality graphics, color and production elements
* Easy access via Facebook or email login
* Privacy settings that allow you to remain anonymous, even from Facebook friends
* A special couples' quiz-game feature, where you write the questions personally

The app is designed for adults and children ages 12 and older, and may include mature or suggestive themes that include mild profanity, or references to alcohol or sexual content.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* OS requirement: iOS 7.1 later
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* Size: 54.8 MB
* Language: English

Pricing and Availability:
Selfie:Wars 1.0 is currently Free and available worldwide through the iTunes App Store in the Games category. Get started right away with your selfie-ography.

PunchBoom was founded 1.5 years ago in Istanbul. Our first game is Tas Devri, a word game in Turkish. After the release of Tas Devri, we created Wordozoic, a word game also, in English and it follows an archeological concept. Wordozoic helped us raise an investment, so we came up with the Selfie Wars idea. We have a small but efficient team consisting of 3 game developers, 2 designers and our cat and dog. We are now working on a massive multiplayer game, hopefully will be released next year and it was also our dream from the start. All Rights Reserved.

Conferencia Launches - One Touch Conference Call and Smart Calendar - Published on 09/25/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Folio3 announces Conferencia 1.5, a one touch conference calling and smart calendar app for iPhone and Android smartphones. Conferencia provides business users with access to all the right information about their meetings in one simple and easy to use app, whether they are in the office or on the go. It simplifies the process of joining any conference call from a smartphone, without having to remember or enter phone numbers and audio pins.

Cupertino, California - Folio3, a leading mobile software solutions provider, announced the launch of its new app Conferencia, a one touch conference calling and smart calendar app for iPhone and Android smartphones. Conferencia provides business users with access to all the right information about their meetings in one simple and easy to use app, whether they are in the office or on the go. It simplifies the process of joining any conference call from a smartphone, without having to remember or enter phone numbers and audio pins.

Today's business professionals often have to attend meetings or make conference calls from their smartphones while on the move. Dialing into conference bridges, notifying colleagues when someone is running late, noting down action items, or accessing key information about a meeting can be quite cumbersome. Conferencia eliminates this hassle by automating these functions so they can be performed with one or two taps, instead of having to switch between multiple apps or remembering and dialing lots of numbers. It also integrates with major CRM platforms such as Salesforce and NetSuite.

* Agenda View - shows all calendar events from the device and CRM (Salesforce, NetSuite) calendars
* One touch dialing into conference calls
* Call or notify (via email or SMS) meeting participants with a single tap
* Calling card support - dial contacts and conference bridges using calling cards to save costs while traveling
* Record voice and text notes for any meeting
* Modify concall dialing sequences for unusual conference call patterns using an intuitive wizard interface

"As a frequent traveler myself, I know how difficult it is to manage conference calls and meetings while on the road," said Adnan Lawai, CEO of Folio3. "While there are other conferencing apps, none of them focus on the solving the key problems in an intuitive way for the user. After using Conferencia for a few days, it's hard to go back to using the default Calendar, Contacts and Dialer features of my smartphone."

Conferencia automatically picks up all the user's calendar entries and shows all conference call and meeting events in a convenient agenda view. Users need only to tap the call icon or act on the reminder to dial into their conference calls. Conferencia also allows users to instantly call, text or email attendees without having to look up their information in their contacts and to use calling cards to automatically dial international numbers. Users can even record and save notes against recently concluded calls and meetings, so action items and next steps are never forgotten. The app's features include:

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

Pricing and Availability:
Conferencia 1.5 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zaplin Music announces the release of triqtraq for iPad. The app is a mobile music sequencer for musicians or DJ's who want to make music on the go, or improvise live. Triqtraq comes more than 400 counds and users are able to record your own sounds with the microphone, or import their own samples. The updated version has new iPad interface. New customers can buy triqtraq for a discounted price until the end of September.

Amsterdam, Netherlands - Zaplin Music releases an iPad version of triqtraq, the award-winning app for mobile music creation.

New customers can buy triqtraq for the special iPad introduction price of $2.99 / Euro2,69 / GBP1.99 until the end of September.

Triqtraq is a mobile music sequencer for musicians or DJ's who want to make music on the go, or improvise live. The one-window interface of triqtraq was designed with speed in mind. A four channel groovebox allows for instant beat creation, and a set of effect faders encourages to shape your sound in real-time. Because all fader movements get recorded in the loop instantly, it is possible to come up with entire songs by improvising.

"We wanted to create a tool that makes it easy to come up with new grooves and melodies, without compromising a deep level of control," says developer Sebastian Schatz. "While beginning musicians get along with triqtraq quickly, more experienced users enjoy to explore the effect automation possibilities and flexible rhythm programming."

In addition to more than 400 sounds that come installed with triqtraq, it is possible to record your own sounds with the microphone, or import your own samples. The iPad version of triqtraq comes with a set of new tutorial videos that can be watched on the Triqtraq website.
