Crypto-Chat Quickly and Securely Encrypts Peer-to-Peer Conversations - Published on 12/13/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ITAMCO's Crypto-Chat uses proprietary advanced adaptive encryption technology to go much further than other privacy apps by encrypting and decrypting messages entirely on each user's personal device, and not on a remote server, so that messages cannot be compromised, even if maliciously intercepted. The new no-cost app is perfect for anyone needing to hide messages from prying eyes. Users simply type their message, tap encrypt, and send it anyone they wish.

Cupertino, California - iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users who are worried about hackers, thieves and others snooping on their private peer-to-peer conversations, can now put their worries to rest by downloading the innovative new no-cost app Crypto-Chat - which has already been described in 5-star App Store reviews as "perfect for anyone needing to hide messages from prying eyes".

Created by ITAMCO with proprietary advanced adaptive encryption technology, Crypto-Chat goes much further than other privacy apps by encrypting and decrypting messages entirely on each user's personal device - and not on a remote server. As a result, even if a user's messages are maliciously intercepted by hackers or any other unauthorized third part, they cannot be compromised. Only the intended recipient will have the password to decrypt the message.

At the same time, all of this robust security takes nothing away from Crypto-Chat's ease and fun. Users simply type their message, tap "encrypt", and send it to a friend, family member, colleague, or anyone else they wish. Recipients with the correct password will be able to instantly decrypt and read the message. And it all happens through a very cool graphic interface that one reviewer called "a sort of matrix design that almost makes you feel like a spy".

Plus, for an extra layer of security, Crypto-Chat has been designed to automatically delete a decrypted message when users stop the app from running in the background. If they want to retain it for any reason, they have the option of taking a screenshot.

"With Crypto-Chat, users can actually see their message encrypt, which means they can communicate in confidence," commented a spokesperson from ITAMCO. "It's ideal for sending and receiving messages with everyone in one's network, from friends and family members, to colleagues and partners. Quite simply, Crypto-Chat is the smartest and best way to enjoy fun, fast encrypted conversation - anytime and anywhere!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone�5, 6/6 Plus
* 0.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Crypto-Chat 1.0.1, the new no-cost privacy app that quickly and securely encrypts conversations, is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

Major Update Popular No-Cost iOS Utility App Quick-Tap - Published on 12/13/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Quick-Tap by WildPalm Ltd. is designed specifically for iOS 8, and gives users convenient, one-tap access to their contacts, music, photos and more - all from any app, and without having to unlock their device. The upcoming version 1.1 of the popular no-cost iOS utility app also now features drag-and-drop item re-ordering and customized icon layouts. Users can access all of their favorites simply by swiping down from any app.

Cupertino, California - Current users who have fallen in love with WildPalm Ltd.'s Quick-Tap, as well as new users who have yet to experience this popular no-cost utility app, will soon be able to head to the App Store and download the new-and-improved version 1.1, which is a major update featuring drag-and-drop item re-ordering and customized icon layouts.

Specifically designed to take advantage of iOS 8's enhanced functionality, Quick-Tap gives users convenient, one-tap access to their contacts, music, photos and more. And since Quick-Tap installs to the "Today" screen, users can access all of their favorites simply by swiping down from any app. For example, in a single tap, and even without unlocking their device, users can:

* Call, email, SMS or FaceTime any of their contacts, as well as chat via Skype, WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger
* Play any track from their music collection
* Get directions home from wherever they are via Apple Maps, Google Maps or Maps Pro
* Send their current location to any contact
* Browse to any specific web page
* Capture their favorite photos from Instagram
* Launch over 2000 popular apps, and trigger specific pre-saved actions (e.g. call a contact, send a friend a Facebook message, and so on)

Plus, for added convenience and customization, the Quick-Tap features an advanced filter system that lets users:
* Display buttons in certain locations (e.g. display public transportation options when they're at work)
* Display buttons on specific days (e.g. show work contacts only during weekdays)
* Display buttons at specific times (e.g. show relaxing music later in the evening)

Also as noted above, version 1.1 offers even more versatility, as users can take advantage of drag-and-drop item re-ordering and customized icon layouts.

"The response we received from users around the world after launching Quick-Tap last September was incredibly positive, and exceeded our highest expectations," commented Nigel Grange of WildPalm Ltd. "Clearly, there is a huge demand for what Quick-Tap delivers, which is essentially a way for users to regain control over their device so they spend more time enjoying their apps, connecting with their contacts, listening to their favorite music and more - and virtually no time getting lost in a maze of confusion. And now with version 1.1, we've made Quick-Tap even more versatile, which we hope will delight our existing users and impress our new ones!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 4.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Quick-Tap 1.0 is Free and currently available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Version 1.1 of WildPalm Ltd.'s popular no-cost iOS utility app Quick-Tap will be available soon from the App Store.
