Karelia Software Ships The Hit List for iPhone 2.0 - Published on 12/22/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Karelia Software today releases The Hit List 2.0 for iPhone, with "Today" and "Upcoming" hit lists taking center stage in this new and completely re-imagined version of its popular task management app. Now for the first time, The Hit List for iPhone includes fast and reliable synchronization for individuals also using The Hit List for Mac. The Hit List for iPhone 2.0 represents an exciting new design of The Hit List for iPhone, including iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Pasadena, California - Karelia Software today releases The Hit List for iPhone version 2.0, a new and completely re-imagined version of its popular task management app. Now for the first time, The Hit List for iPhone includes synchronization for individuals also using The Hit List for Mac. In addition, The Hit List for iPhone version 2.0 represents an exciting new design of The Hit List for iPhone to take advantage of the new design and advances of iOS 8 and the iPhone, including iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

More than a new modern visual aesthetic, the new app design now feels, works and behaves in a way that today's iPhone users find natural. The Hit List for iPhone 2.0 includes workflow changes that make working with tasks, faster, easier and a pleasure to use.

Now, the "Today" and "Upcoming" hit lists are front and center. Task entry is fast and easy from anywhere in the app. Swipe left on a task to Delete, Move or to Cancel a task; swipe right for shortcuts to setting the start date to today, tomorrow or next week. A single tap presents a task's card, including a disclose arrow to set priority or repeat, and a simple down swipe dismisses the card.

Subtasks can now be added directly from a task's card. Dates can now be set from a new inline calendar that scrolls for faster access to far off task dates, or from the presented shortcuts to clear a date, or set to today, tomorrow or next week.

"We're pleased to release The Hit List for iPhone 2.0," said Dan Wood, president of Karelia Software LLC. "The usability improvements make short work of entering tasks quickly. The included sync service will make sure any individual who also uses The Hit List on the Mac stays up to date wherever they are working, or playing. Our goal was to make starting easy, provide useful features that stay out of the way, and all the power a serious GTD fan might need."

Designed for today's interrupt-driven and busy life, The Hit List handles personal task management with a perfect balance of app power and ease of use. Using The Hit List is as easy as making lists on a Mac and/or iPhone, and powerful enough to let you plan, move on, and then act at the right time. The Hit List includes access to its own fast and reliable sync service for individuals to keep tasks and lists in sync between desktop and mobile devices.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5, 6/6 Plus
* 4.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Through Dec. 31, 2014, The Hit List 2.0 is offered at the introductory price of $9.99 USD (regularly $14.99) or equivalent amount in other currencies, and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. This includes access to the sync service for synchronization with The Hit List for Mac (sold separately).

The Hit List for Mac is available for $49.99 (USD) from the Mac App Store or directly from Karelia Software. Through Dec. 31, 2014, The Hit List for Mac is available directly from Karelia Software for $34.99 (regularly $49.99, a $15 savings) by using the promo code "BetterTogether" on the Karelia online store.

This New Year, put a dead bird in your pocket - Published on 12/22/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based developer, Alaric Cole today announced that the popular Deadline will be free starting this Christmas Eve. A top 10 paid Health app, Deadline 1.2 uses HealthKit to predict your date of death. The app was meant as a motivator to take life by the reins, and to improve health by seeing exactly how it can affect your lifespan. It looks at a number of factors to give you a statistically accurate prediction of your maximum age. The app will be free beginning on December 24th, 2014.

San Francisco, California - Independent developer, Alaric Cole today announced that the popular Deadline will be free for the first time starting Christmas Eve. A top 10 paid Health app, Deadline 1.2 uses HealthKit to predict your date of death. The app was meant as a motivator to take life by the reins, and to improve health by seeing exactly how it can affect your lifespan. It looks at a number of factors to give you a statistically accurate prediction of your maximum age. Deadline uses statistical information to attempt to determine what could be your date of expiration, but of course no app can really accurately determine when you will die, so consider this a way to motivate yourself to be healthier (and consult a physician as necessary).

"You're going to die. We all will. But what if you knew how long you had left? Could it motivate you to be healthier?" asks Alaric Cole, developer of Deadline. "Deadline uses Health Kit data to give you an estimate of the date and time you will expire. You can often change the date by living a healthier lifestyle. Watch the ticker... Hint: You can usually change the date! Despite being an extremely popular app, with coverage on Health.com, Time Magazine, Business Insider, The Next Web, The Huffington Post, Gizmodo and more, there is disagreement with this use case of HealthKit."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5, 6/6 Plus
* 6.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Deadline 1.2 is currently $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category. It will be offered for free beginning on December 24th, 2014. This is a great chance to get a top ten paid app for free. Give the gift of health for yourself, or for those you love. Bonus: Deadline will be available for the Apple Watch this spring!

Basel, Switzerland - ConIT AG today is proud to announce AppZapp Notify and its free PC and Mac tool available for download. What is the present value of all my downloaded Apps? For the first time, you can now receive a quick and simple answer to this interesting and exciting question. After opening the program, it automatically recognizes the iTunes library and the scan for Apps may be initiated.

The identified Apps are displayed in a list. Before transferring the collected information to the AppZapp account, the user has the option to review it once again. After depositing the data in the AppZapp account, the result is available in AppZapp Notify (iPhone) and AppZapp HD (iPad) under "My AppZapp" > "MyApps".

A simple click on the calculated total value at the bottom right displays a detailed analysis that can include app categories, for example. Even our developers and editors were astonished about the result. Many developers periodically reduce their Apps or even offer them entirely free.

AppZapp's sync tool offers the user the fantastic opportunity to carefully examine his App library - entirely free. This is a tool that any App enthusiast should definitely check out.

AppZapp Notify App for iPhone: AppZapp Notify is perfect for anyone that has plans to expand his App collection in a budget-friendly, or even free fashion.

eiiEntertains releases health and fitness app for Stand Up Paddleboards - Published on 12/22/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based eiiEntertains today introduces SUP Trails 1.0 for iOS, a new sports/health and fitness application for stand up paddleboarding. SUP Trails tracks your route and key statistics, gives audio feedback "as you paddle," publishes active calories used with the iOS health app, includes cloud sourced weather reports, keeps a history of your workouts and allows you to share your route to Twitter, Facebook and to other SUPTrails users via its private cloud database.

Scarborough, United Kingdom - eiiEntertains today releases a new sports and fitness application for Stand Up Paddleboarding. SUP Trails 1.0 tracks your route and key statistics, gives audio feedback 'as you paddle', publishes active calories used with the iOS health app, includes cloud sourced weather reports, keeps a history of your workouts and allows you to share your route to Twitter, Facebook and to other SUPTrails users via its private cloud database.

"During the summer, we were frustrated by the lack of any 'purpose built' stand up paddle boarding health and fitness apps available in the iOS App Store. If we ran or cycled there were loads we could use, but for stand up paddle boarding there was nothing," explained Tim Teece, designer and lead developer. So we went ahead and built one that did everything we needed. We liked it so much we are releasing it so that any paddle boarder or paddle surfer out there can finally see how their technique and fitness is improving."

eiiEntertains took the basic concept from 'I want to know where, how fast and how long I paddle' to something significantly bigger, and the app evolved to include features such as:

* Key statistics recording including speed, distance and altitude
* On map route display including speed changes - detailed enough to show you when you catch a wave
* On screen compass and heading display
* Personal SUP Trail history
* Share and view routes with users around the globe
* Cloud sourced weather conditions wind, waves and weather.
* Information resources : Introduction to paddle boarding, Boards, Fins, Terminology, Technique Tips, Surfing Rules
* Measure in Kilometres, Miles, Nautical Miles
* Audio as you paddle feedback (works with music playback if required)
* Share routes to Facebook and/or Twitter
* Integrated with Health app, we use your latest body weight values combined with your route details to post estimated calorie usage per trail

"The best part of writing this app has been having the opportunity of testing it from the cold waters off the North Yorkshire coast, to the warm seas off the Islands of Florida," explained Tim Teece, designer and lead developer. "We have stacks more features that we want to add in the next few releases, for example we are currently working on an integration with the Apple Watch, and we are working out how to use of some of the more advanced movement sensors in the latest iPhones to allow you to analyse and improve your technique in greater detail, so there is much more to come."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5, 6/6 Plus
* 5.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SUP Trails 1.0 priced at $1.99 (tier 2). It available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports and Health and Fitness categories.
