Speaking Times Tables HD for iPad - really simple and fun multiplication - Published on 10/23/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mindwarp Consultancy Ltd today introduces Speaking Times Tables HD 1.0.0, their new children's math app for Apple's iPad device. With immediate feedback a key feature, Speaking Times Tables HD offers children an interactive spoken word approach to learning important multiplication skills. The screens showing the problems use bright, vibrant colors and feature fun and engaging sounds with a cute monkey theme. The beauty of the app is that is uses a real voice, like a parent reading to the child.

County Durham, United Kingdom - Do kids know learning multiplication can be really simple and fun? Chances are they don't. Mom and Dad don't know either. That is because a new way for young children to learn this part of math has just become available through an interactive app for iPad from Mindwarp Consultancy Ltd.

Speaking Times Tables uses interactive testing to provide real-time ways for children to measure their understanding of multiplication. The young student sees which problems are answered correctly and which are mistakes, and Speaking Times Tables allows them to try their incorrect answers again. Families will be able to test the new teaching method at no charge during the first week of availability.

Speaking Times Tables HD for iPad uses the spoken word, interactive learning and multiple choice testing. The screens showing the problems use bright, vibrant colors and feature fun and engaging sounds with a cute monkey theme. Some other developers have utilized speech for the same purpose but their products tend to depend a great deal on lots of text and are not as easy to use and comprehend. The way the new app works can be seen in the video.

The child is able to listen, learn and then be tested. Immediate feedback is a key feature. If a sum is wrong the app shows the correct answer right away which helps them remember it. Speaking Times Tables is totally devoted to its basic purpose, teaching young children multiplication, and has no links to email, web pages, advertising or in-app purchases.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 15.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time, Speaking Times Tables HD 1.0.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. The free launch period will only be in effect the first week of product release. After that the cost of the app is $1.99 (USD).

Tax and VAT Rules are Changing for App Developers in 2015 - Published on 10/24/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paddle's e-Commerce platform makes it incredibly simple to sell digital content like apps, games, eBooks and creative resources. Starting January 1st 2015, VAT and tax laws within the EU change, meaning a big impact for developers and sellers of digital content online. Paddle has published an overview of what developers need to know about the changes to VAT. The company is also introducing helpful guides and tools to assist developers with this change.

London, United Kingdom - Starting from 1st January 2015, anybody selling digital content will need to charge VAT at the rate of their customer's country, as opposed than their own country. According to Pollen VC, 63% of developers are unaware of the changes and 35% don't know what to do about it [1]. To help with this, Paddle, an e-Commerce platform for digital products, has published an overview of what developers need to know about the changes to VAT in January 2015.

Paddle has also published a free VAT calculator, showing the rates applying to sales of digital content from 1st January 2015 in the 28 EU member states. Developers selling exclusively through marketplaces like the iOS App Store, Mac App Store and Google Play Store should not be affected by these changes because Apple already handles VAT on behalf of its vendors and Google looks to be doing so by 1st January 2015.

However, developers who sell direct to their customers will be liable for handling VAT - they will need to identify their end customer's location in order to determine the correct VAT rate to apply. There are also changes to the filing regime - instead of filing a single return in the country in which they are VAT-registered, vendors will need to submit an additional return which aggregates all sales made in other EU countries (under mini one-stop shop (MOSS) simplification regime). Otherwise, they will need to file returns in each EU country in which they sell.

Paddle's e-Commerce platform makes it incredibly simple to sell digital content like apps, games, eBooks and creative resources. Developers selling with Paddle don't have to worry about VAT liability since Paddle handles it on their behalf. Paddle's SDKs for Mac and Windows give developers have an easy way to manage their trial versions, licensing, payments, analytics and more.

Charlotte, North Carolina - einstein's legacy v2.0, LLC is proud to announce the release of MovieBriefs 1.3.1, a video utility for creating image contact sheets from your movies. MovieBriefs extracts up to 400 images and displays them in an onscreen grid. MovieBriefs, not only prints and exports overview images, users may also create slide shows and share images via e-mail or with popular internet services like Facebook and Twitter. The MovieBriefs 1.3.1 update includes enhancements to slide show playback, improved timing accuracy, a new movie info panel, and adjustable image output sizing.

"With this release, we sought to refine the user experience for media services professionals, video content creators and editorial production staff who use MovieBriefs to summarize their video content," says Douglas A. Welton, einstein's legacy Chief Product Officer. "We added new features for slide shows and timing, but we've also simplified many of the most common tasks."

MovieBriefs 1.3.1 includes the following key features:

Contact Sheets:
When MovieBriefs creates a contact sheet, you control the portion of the movie to be used and the number of rows and columns displayed on the final contact sheet.

Movie Segments:
The MovieBriefs time range slider gives you control over what portion of the clip will be used to generate the contact sheet. You have the option of using just part of a movie or choosing to use the whole thing.

Slide Shows:
MovieBriefs creates a standard OS X slide show from the images used to compose your contact sheet and display them on any screen connected to your system.

Sharing:
Once you have created a contact sheet, MovieBriefs allows you to share the image via e-mail, using popular internet services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) or with local applications like iPhoto or Aperture.

More Sharing:
Contact sheets may be shared by dragging the image from the MovieBriefs document window and dropping it onto a desired application. You may also copy an image and paste it where you need it.

Time Display:
If you rest your cursor over a frame in the contact sheet, MovieBriefs shows the display time for that frame as a standard OS X tooltip.

System Requirements
* Mac OS X 10.9 or higher
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MovieBriefs 1.3.1 is available for $9.99 (USD) from the Mac App Store (in the Video category).
