Pro Altimeter - Barometric Altimeter App for iPhone 6/6+ and iPad Air 2 - Published on 11/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virginia based Hunter Research and Technology today introduces Pro Altimeter 1.0, a new barometric altimeter app for the iPhone 6/6+ and iPad Air 2. Pro Altimeter has a simple interface based on the design of pocket altimeters and wrist altimeters used by explorers and outdoor adventurers. The app offers multiple calibration modes including the import of METAR data from airports within 100 miles (160km) of the user's location anywhere in the world.

Williamsburg, Virginia - Pro Altimeter is the newest app from Hunter Research and Technology, developer of the popular outdoors apps Theodolite, Pro Compass, and Nav Camera. Pro Altimeter uses the high-fidelity barometric pressure sensor in new iOS devices (iPhone 6/6+ and iPad Air 2) to measure and compute altitude.

Pro Altimeter has a simple interface based on the design of pocket altimeters and wrist altimeters used by explorers and outdoor adventurers. Barometric altitude and GPS altitude are displayed in large easy to read numbers, showing units of both feet and meters, and giving realtime accuracy estimates from the hardware. At bottom are calibration and display mode buttons. The display offers a highly-readable daytime mode with black digits on an LCD-green background, and a reversed night mode that is easy on the eyes in dark conditions.

Proper calibration is necessary to measure altitude from barometric pressure (this is why a pilot "dials in" the cockpit altimeter before taking off). Pro Altimeter offers four different methods for calibration, including GPS altitude, manual altitude entry, manual pressure entry, and METAR reports from local airports. With the tap of a button, Pro Altimeter will locate the five closest airports within 100 miles (160km) of the user's location anywhere in the world, and pull in METAR data for calibration.

Once calibrated, Pro Altimeter keeps track of the time since its last calibration. Because weather and local barometric pressure change over time, the app will warn users when 12 hours have elapsed since the last calibration by flashing the "CALIBRATE" button.

Pricing and Availability:
Pro Altimeter is available in the Navigation section of the iTunes App Store for $0.99 USD (or equivalent in other countries). It is a universal app that runs on the iPhone 6/6+ and iPad Air 2, with iOS 8.0 or later. More information, including screenshots, is available on the Hunter Research and Technology website.

Blue Whale Apps and NACD Release Cognition Coach iPad App - Published on 11/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The National Association for Child Development and Blue Whale Apps announced today the release of a new iPad app, the first in a series created to develop and build basic cognitive abilities. "Cognition Coach-NACD Simply Smarter for Toddlers to 3 Years" is designed to help establish the foundation for both typical and special needs children that develops their short term and working memories--basic keys to language development, learning, and thought.

Wellington, Florida - The National Association for Child Development (NACD) and Blue Whale Apps announced today the release of the first in a series of Cognition Coach apps. The app follows the same easy to use and successful format of previous NACD Home Speech Therapist - Apraxia apps.

The Cognition Coach app establishes the foundation for children who are neurodevelopmentally functioning at the level of a six-month old to a neuro-typical three year old. This app takes children from the basics of learning how to identify pictures to sequentially processing up to three objects. Cognition Coach is designed to jump-start children by building sequential processing skills, the building blocks for developing short term and working memory.

"What makes this app so powerful is it places in the hands of parents, educators, and therapists a simple, fun tool that through its six levels can be used to build invaluable basic cognitive skills for both neuro-typical children and the full range of special needs children as well," said Bob Doman, the Director of The National Association for Child Development.

"NACD designed this app on the heels of our very successful NACD Home Speech Therapist apps, knowing that the foundation for language development is cognition. Parents and therapists alike must understand that language development is largely a reflection of cognitive development," said Lori Riggs, Speech-Language Pathologist at NACD.

Whether a parent is teaching a child to identify first pictures, or a therapist is teaching a child how to distinguish between two items, or an educator is teaching a child how to process a sequence of up to three items, the six levels of this app can facilitate it all. NACD's international work with typical and special needs children identified a need for such a tool and the resulting app is filling that important role for parents, educators, and therapists alike. The app also provides tracking for multiple children.

Cognition Coach is designed to be used one-on-one by parents as an interactive and fun part of a child's day or as a tool for educators and therapists in formal sessions. Adults using the app with the child are an integral part of the educational process, providing guidance and reinforcement. Multiple short sessions, which are exciting, rewarding, and fun, used over time produce the required frequency, intensity, and duration to significantly impact a toddler's developing brain.

Leading experts know and parents find out more every day, the power of the iPad and other interactive touch devices are extremely effective when used by the parent and therapist.

"NACD's programs have changed the lives of tens of thousands of children from around the world. Cognition Coach needs to be in the hands of every parent with a child under three. We are proud to have helped create this latest NACD tool," said Gregg Weiss, CEO of Blue Whale Apps.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 28.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cognition Coach - NACD Simply Smarter sequential processing for toddlers to age 3 (v1.0) is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category.

Crick Software launches new accessible keyboard for iPad and iPhone - Published on 11/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Assistive Technology specialist, Crick Software has announced SuperKeys Assistive Keyboard, an innovative new accessible keyboard for iOS devices. The SuperKeys Assistive Keyboard was created to support users who have difficulty targeting small keys. The unique design gives users just seven large keys to target instead of more than 30 small ones. Keys are grouped into clusters containing up to seven characters. The user taps a cluster to enlarge it, and then chooses a letter from the cluster.

Westport, Connecticut - Assistive Technology specialist Crick Software has announced the launch of an innovative new accessible keyboard for iPad and iPhone. The SuperKeys Assistive Keyboard has been created to support users who have difficulty targeting small keys; the unique design of SuperKeys gives users just seven large keys to target instead of more than 30 small ones. There are significant benefits for people with low vision too; all the keys are in the standard qwerty layout, and use a large, accessible font.

Keys are grouped into clusters containing up to seven characters. The user taps a cluster to enlarge it, and then chooses a letter from the cluster. Intelligent word prediction and the ability to create customised keyboard shortcuts speed up the writing process.

Crick Software's developers have used their 20+ years of accessible software expertise to create this unique approach to keyboard accessibility: "Until now the only option for people with physical challenges was switch access; SuperKeys offers a powerful alternative to users with mild to moderate challenges, with only two taps required for each key input." says the company's CEO John Crick. "There's also lots of support built in for the many people who, whether due to a medical condition or simply old age, have real trouble seeing the keys on their device. It has so much potential!"

Pricing and Availability:
SuperKeys Assistive Keyboard 1.0.0 is available for GBP6.99/$9.99 as a standalone keyboard for the iPad and iPhone. For more information contact Crick Software on 01604 671691, email, or visit them online.
