Delete Hundreds Of Photos And Videos In Seconds With SwipeDelete 1.0.0 - Published on 12/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PS Professionals today introduces SwipeDelete 1.0.0, their new utilities tool for iOS devices. SwipeDelete helps users free up storage space by providing quick and easy deletion of photos and videos from devices. Using the common swipe gesture, users can review their library of photos and videos to determine whether they would like to trash or keep them. SwipeDelete includes a failsafe that confirms the deletion of all selected photos and videos before they are removed for good.

Sewickley, Pennsylvania - PS Professionals today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of SwipeDelete 1.0.0, their new utilities tool for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. SwipeDelete helps users free up storage space by providing quick and easy deletion of photos and videos from devices.

After receiving permission to access the user's photo library, SwipeDelete presents a simple and intuitive interface with clearly marked directions. Automatically loading from oldest to most recent, the image or video appears in the screen and the user must swipe left to trash it or swipe right to keep it. Immediately following the swipe, the next image or video in the user's photo library appears. This swipe gesture allows for a quicker review and deletion process for the user.

Anytime during SwipeDelete's review process, the user may change their mind about retaining or deleting a photo or video. SwipeDelete includes a failsafe that confirms the deletion of all selected photos and videos before they are removed for good. If a user accidentally deletes a photo or video, they can choose "Keep," which is highlighted in green at the bottom of the page, and the photo or video will be saved. To permanently delete all photos selected using SwipeDelete, the user must tap the "Trash" prompt highlighted in blue at the bottom of the screen. A pop-up box will confirm the action.

Feature Highlights:
* Intuitive and simple User Interface
* Quickly deletes photos and videos with swipe gesture
* Frees up valuable storage space
* Automatically loads oldest photos and videos
* Swipe left to delete and swipe right to keep
* Ability to restore any accidental deletions
* Ability to share status via Facebook, Twitter, E-mail, and Messaging

"SwipeDelete is the fastest and easiest way to quickly delete old pictures and videos from your device," explains Scott Pulkowski of PS Professionals. "Device cameras continue to get better and better, which leads to larger file sizes. Larger file sizes means less space on your device. You could delete the pictures and videos one by one in the device's default Photos app, but that would take ages. SwipeDelete offers the quickest and easiest solution to freeing up valuable storage space."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 0.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SwipeDelete 1.0.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Review copies are available upon request.

Conquer The Solar System With Exciting New Puzzle Game - Atmosflares 1.0 - Published on 12/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TotenDev Studios today introduces Atmosflares 1.0, their new space puzzle game for iOS devices. With retina graphics and a simple touch interface, Atmosflares challenges players to link and explode flares in two modes of gameplay. Career mode offers over 60 levels as players conquer the Solar System. Gameplay is infinite in Survival mode and allows players to explore all 14 worlds at once. Atmosflares features special strategic powers, realistic scenarios, and is Game Center supported.

San Paulo, Brazil - TotenDev Studios today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Atmosflares 1.0, their new space puzzle game for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Atmosflares is a colorful and fast-paced game that challenges players to link and explode flares through a simple touch interface. Combos can be achieved with a swipe of the finger and for each combo of colored flares, players earn points and stars to achieve a high score. The more combos of flares that the player can make, the higher the score they can earn.

There are two modes of gameplay in Atmosflares: Career and Survival. In Survival mode, players have infinite gameplay and can explore all 14 realistic worlds within the Solar System. Career mode offers over 60 challenging levels that once successfully achieved, unlock additional realistic worlds that they can explore. Each level is procedural-generated so gameplay is different every time the user plays the game. Additionally, each of the 14 worlds is presented with its own reality-based scenario in optimized retina graphics and high quality sound effects and music.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple touch User Interface
* Two main gameplay modes: Career and Survival
* Over 60 levels of gameplay in Career mode
* Infinite gameplay in Survival mode
* 14 different realistic worlds to explore
* Procedural-generated levels
* Earn strategic powers that increase difficulty
* Over 40 different Achievements to earn
* Game Center-supported
* Exclusive high quality soundtrack and special effects
* Issue challenges and compare achievements with friends
* Optimized retina graphics
* Additional worlds and special powers also available as in-app purchase
* High score tracking and gameplay stats
* Game tutorial

To increase the challenge, Atmosflares contains strategic powers that are stored in the player's virtual backpack and can be collected during gameplay or in-app purchase. There are 8 good strategic powers that make the game easier to play. At the start of each level, players may choose up to 3 good strategic powers that they can activate during the level with a single tap. Some good strategic powers can override the effects of a bad strategic power. Players can refer to each strategic power and its counterparts in the Info area of the Power Selection screen. These good strategic powers include:

* Unicolor - tints all flares the same color
* Slow Motion - slows time down
* Oracle - reveals the quantity and colors of upcoming flares
* Ninja - destroys all bad powers launched in the level's remaining time
* Lucky Guy - increases the chance of same colored flares and multicolor flares
* Freeze Multiplier - freezes the multiplier value
* Double Multiplier - doubles the current multiplier value
* Capsule - protects all flares from Heavy Rain and Windy powers

There are also 8 bad strategic powers that make the game harder to play. The player must avoid tapping on these bad strategic powers or they will be triggered instantly. These bad strategic powers include:

* Bleacher - bleaches colors of flares making it harder to form combos
* Fast Forward - speeds time up
* Windy - increases wind which makes flares change direction and fade more quickly
* Bad Ninja - destroys all good powers launched in the level's remaining time
* Bad Luck - decreases the chance of same colored flares and multicolor flares
* Mini Me - makes all flares tiny and hard to select
* Bomber - explodes bomb that will break combos and spread flares across screen
* Heavy Rain - causes rain to fall and flares to fade faster

Atmosflares has over 40 achievements that range from Beginner to Expert levels. There are achievements and leaderboards in both the local and online Game Center versions. Within the Profile section, Atmosflares maintains a local high score leaderboard, tracking of all achievements, and the player's gameplay stats. Online and local leaderboards allow players to compete against friends or themselves.

"We're very excited about the release of Atmosflares," says Gabriel Debes of TotenDev Studios. "It's been in production for almost two years and is our company's first game. We've filled it with all the bells and whistles that make a game great like stunning graphics, an amazing soundtrack and special effects, and a challenging objective. With Atmosflares, players can test their endurance and agility exploding flares, dodging evil powers and earning the highest score to climb the leaderboard.

He continues, "Exploring space and exploding flares is fun, but can be challenging. That is why Atmosflares is filled with achievements for the player to collect within and without Game Center. We believe Atmosflares offers a fun, new challenge that gamers are going to love!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6 or later
* 185 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Atmosflares 1.0 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available upon request.

Woodland Preschool - A Quirky New Educational App for Preschool Kids - Published on 12/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based indie developer, Philip Atherton announces Woodland Preschool 1.1, an update to his educational app developed for iOS and Android devices. Beautiful illustrations and design give life to this new educational app for preschool kids. Woodland Preschool features cute creatures and simple games to teach kids basic counting, colors, shapes and letters. Version 1.1 adds a new privacy policy in order to make app available for the preschoolers for whom it is intended.

Chester (Cheshire) United Kingdom - Independent developer, Philip Atherton is proud to announce the release of Woodland Preschool 1.1, an update to his educational app developed for iOS and Android devices. Beautiful illustrations and design give life to this new educational app for preschool kids. Woodland Preschool features cute creatures and simple games to teach kids basic counting, colors, shapes and letters. Version 1.1 adds a new privacy policy in order to make app available for the preschoolers for whom it is intended.

"I am a father of 2 young children living in the UK, explained Philip Atherton, developer of Woodland Preschool. "I have noticed that my son picks up a lot of knowledge and manual dexterity from the apps and media he uses. As an illustrator and someone who enjoys seeing his kids learn, I decided to make a cute little app that would educate in a friendly and encouraging way. I built the app from scratch and illustrated it. I also provided the audio. It is entirely a one man labor of love. It currently has four sections of play and an achievement page to record progress and rewards. Purchasers of the app will get all the future updates and expansions included in the original price. I already have 2 more sections in production."

Features:
* Learn numbers 1-12
* Match colors
* Draw shapes
* Draw letters
* Earn/Share achievements

There is an achievements page where your child will gather stars that they have earned by playing the games. Games are inspired by the Montessori system of education with children learning independently and by discovery.

"Having supervised my son using a large number of kid's apps, I have noticed that ads are simply too easy for a child to click, this navigates them away from the content that they are meant to be viewing and into unknown, third-party content," continues Atherton. "Kids like to learn and turning it into a game really engages them and helps them to develop. This is something I am passionate about and I enjoy having the opportunity to help kids learn."

Language Support:
* English and German

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 4 or later, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 8.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Woodland Preschool 1.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Education category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play. Basic numeracy, drawing shapes, color recognition and writing the alphabet are included thus far with other educational areas in the pipeline. There are no ads or in-app purchases and there never will be.

DropSync 3 for Mac released - Simpler, Faster, Folder Updating - Published on 12/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mudflat Software releases DropSync 3, a completely redesigned and vastly improved version of its popular folder management software for the Mac. DropSync is for web developers, photo professionals, or anyone with big sets of files on multiple hard drives, web servers, or network shares. DropSync can watch a source folder and update in the background. The app is smart about doing work in the background and keeping its memory footprint low. It's basically a better way to copy collections of files.

Melbourne, Australia - Mudflat Software has released DropSync 3, a completely redesigned and vastly improved version of its popular folder management software for the Mac. DropSync is for web developers, photo professionals, or anyone with big sets of files on multiple hard drives, web servers, or network shares. It's basically a better way to copy collections of files.

At the core of DropSync 3 is its powerful browser that lets users see a pair of folders side by side, even if one folder is on a remote server (via SFTP). Items can be selected for include and exclude directly in the browser and an update from one side to another initiated by clicking the corresponding arrow. Previews show exactly what will be changed, and when you're done checking previews, DropSync can watch a source folder and update in the background. DropSync 3 is smart about doing work in the background and keeping its memory footprint low. It won't break a sweat with tens of thousands of files, and if you're updating over ssh it will minimise the data that gets transferred.

New Features in DropSync 3:
* Completely redesigned user interface that is simpler to use and frankly much better looking
* Configuration options galore, and a sweet new interface for adjusting all those switches and dials
* Include or exclude folders at any level in the hierarchy directly in the browser
* The app is now fully sandboxed so it cannot touch your files unless you tell it to
* Fully compatible with OSX Yosemite

It is ideal for:
* Updating on-the-go documents to a USB stick
* Mirroring a website from a remote host to your local computer or vice-versa
* Web development - Edit files locally and have them automatically and efficiently uploaded to a server
* Duplicating files like photos, music and websites to a second computer, external hard drive or remote server
* Backing up files to a remote server - Works with any server that supports SSH, SFTP and Rsync

Despite its name, DropSync has little in common with hosted syncing solutions like Dropbox or iCloud Drive. DropSync gives users super-powers when it comes to copying/updating folders, but it won't take total control of the process. Instead, it makes managing file collections safer (with previews), faster (with incremental updates), and more customisable (with includes/excludes and custom rsync options).

DropSync is also one of the few folder updating applications that makes accessing remote computers via ssh a first class citizen. Users can simply enter their login details and will instantly be able to browse and select folders on a remote server. It also integrates nicely with the keychain, so passwords are stored securely and there is no need to setup public/private keypairs.

Although casual users need never look beyond the main window, DropSync is also designed with power users in mind. It's apple scriptable so you can integrate it into existing workflows. DropSync also embraces its command-line heritage. It is, at its core, a GUI for the popular command-line tool rsync, and exposes the full power of this tool to advanced users via a comprehensive suite of customizable options.

"I'd personally like to thank every user who sent feedback or requested support on DropSync 2" said DropSync's creator, Ira Cooke, "We thought long and hard about all that feedback and came up with a design for DropSync 3 that eliminates confusing choices, while at the same time offering greater customisation and flexibility."

Pricing and Availability:
After two years of development, DropSync 3 has been released on the Mac App Store. Until the end of December it is available at a discounted price of $8 (USD). It can be purchased through the Mudflat Software website or the Mac App Store. A free, fully featured trial is available for download from the Mudflat Software website.

The app supports all popular image formats, including RAW files, DNG, JPG, TIFF, PNG and more. No matter how you store your images, Snapselect lets you trim your photo library to just the great images you know you want.

Del Mar, California - Macphun Software, a leading innovative photography app developer with over 25 million users worldwide, has today announced the launch of Snapselect. A new smart way to quickly pick your best images, Snapselect easily gets rid of unwanted photos and even saves disk space on your Mac. Whether you use iPhoto, Aperture or Lightroom to manage images or simply keep your photos in folders, Snapselect lets you trim your photo library to just the great images you know you want.

Snapselect is an easy-to-use app, which anyone who takes a lot of photographs is going to find useful.

Paul Muzok, CEO of Macphun said, "For many photographers, taking images is a joy but having to sort through them all afterwards is something they just can't face. We know that many people just leave well enough alone, meaning that so many great photographs of fantastic family occasions or memorable moments are left buried on a hard disk! With Snapselect, the process of separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to images is made not only easy, but fast."

How does it work?
Starting by importing photos from your photos folder, library or external drive, Snapselect will use patented image recognition technology to automatically group similar images and duplicates, as well as sort all photos by the time they were taken for convenient viewing.
