Helsinki, Finland - App developer Musopia, with more than 1 million iOS users and music top 10 positions in 49 countries, has teamed up with one of the world's biggest guitar manufacturers, Samick Music corporation, in an effort to create a greater community of guitar players by offering the popular FourChords guitar teaching app free with the purchase of any Samick, Silvertone or Greg Bennett guitar. The free Samick sponsored VIP Subscription is available in US from February.
FourChords has a dead-simple interface that boils popular songs down into digestible chunks. It starts by naming the main chords used, diagramming how to form them and letting the user play back a sample to hear what each chord sounds like. Once familiar with them, guitarist can play along with the song as the app flows through each chord in a Guitar Hero-style timeline that stays in sync with the music.
"There are a lot of people who would love to play guitar but find it too difficult and time consuming. Most of them end up quitting and casting aside their dream", said Paula Lehto from Musopia. "Now there is perfect anti-quit tool available: FourChords is a fast-track for learning to play new songs. The songs have been re-arranged into easy version to played only with few simple chords. In fact, all the 900 songs in the songbook can be played with only 13 chords."
"While Samick has long been known as a great guitar manufacturer, we also understand how critical it is to connect with new and future players," stated Tony De La Rosa, Product Manager/Artist Relations. "The FourChords app looks as cool as a video game, is easy to use, and is mobile - the perfect combination for connecting with a culture that wants and expects mobile access to just about anything that's displayed on a screen. It really helps our customers to get started and enjoying playing cool songs with their new guitars as soon as possible."
This candid co-operation between mobile solutions and traditional industries brings valuable benefits to the customers, in this case beginner guitarists who seek a way to learn to play their new guitar in a fast and fun way.

Pomodoro Time 1.0 - Time and Task Management Tool to Boost Productivity - Published on 02/04/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XwaveSoft today introduces Pomodoro Time 1.0, their time management app for iOS devices. Designed specifically to boost productivity by using the Pomodoro Technique. The app provides a mix of timeboxing, timed rest stops, task management, a goal completion list, and customized productivity analysis. Users can view and compare weekly or monthly progress of total time spent on tasks to accurately adjust actions to be more efficient. Use either iPhone or iPad � all devices always stay in sync.
Odessa, Ukraine - XwaveSoft today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Pomodoro Time 1.0, their new time management tool for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Input tasks and manage progress using the Pomodoro Technique, a method of combining timeboxing with rewards to rest. Helpful tools such as alarm notifications, customized break options, and an overview of exercises per week make monitoring progress easier than ever and helps users stay focused, while enhancing productivity.
The Pomodoro Technique is based on the idea that individuals are more likely to produce results and complete activities with a break down of work into intervals of 25 minutes, separated by short breaks. Pomodoro Time allows users to customize task duration outside of the standard timeframe to fit individual needs, from 5 minutes to 60 minutes with customized breaks in between. After a few pomodoros are complete, users may take longer breaks to revive focus and energy.
Pomodoro Time is great for anyone looking to chart and optimize time for executing tasks. The application allows users to view the amount of completed tasks versus projected tasks and the average duration it takes to complete assignments on a weekly basis. Users can compare success rates week to week with a graph that offers users a visual perspective of progress.
Perfect for personal errands, business projects, student assignments, educators, house chores, health and fitness routines, or just about any responsibility that requires an assistant to help complete to-do lists. Essentially, Pomodoro Time offers a unique strategy to keep users' attention on the goal for longer periods of time without the common burn out. The idea is to hard-wire individuals to take short breaks in between tasks with longer breaks permitted after a few pomodoros have been completed.
Professionals can use Pomodoro Time to allot timeframes for answering morning emails or toggling between projects for multi-tasking success. With strategic rest-stops, the app increases productivity by decreasing loss of focus. At a glance, users will see a timer displayed for the current task at hand and notifications will sound when an action is required. Users have the flexibility to start, pause, or skip the current pomodoro and move onto another as priorities change throughout the day and users may need to toggle between tasks.
Feature Highlights:
* Manage tasks
* Track progress throughout the week, month or custom period
* Set and track targeted number of tasks to complete
* Customize task and break durations
* Ability to start, pause, or skip pomodoros
* Custom alarm sound
* Alarm sounds while app runs in the background
* Interactive notifications
* Widget in the notification center
* Syncs between iDevices
* One universal app for iPhone and iPad
Pomodoro Time continually runs in the background to let alarms sound so users will never miss a deadline. Alarms can be customized, while the task timer defaults with an original ticking sound (optional). For extended functionality, Pomodoro Time also offers a widget in the notification center. Users can sync the application across iPhone and iPad for an organized and succinct working environment. Pomodoro Time can be present wherever it is needed, allowing users to rest assure that responsibilities will not be forgotten.
The color scheme offers an optimistic view on daily time management by helping to reduce the mundane necessity of completing one's chores. The minimalistic interface reduces the frustrations of compiling to-do lists and several post-its, while breaking from a task to check the clock (then dwell on the clock... and so on). It also helps to keep users focused with a simple, but powerful display of the timer, which distracts users from wanting to take a few minutes to socialize or peruse the Web when faced with a tedious, but important job.
"When taxed with a project assignment, we noticed that people from all industries and personality types became anxious and counter-productive when faced with the notion of balancing many priorities with short deadlines," said Denys Yevenko, CEO/Founder of XwaveSoft. "our goal is to provide people with a powerful productivity tool, combining the Pomodoro Technique, to make time management a breeze. Ultimately, to re-train individuals to give their body and brain the needed rest to re-group and stay productive for longer periods of time."
Supported Languages:
Pomodoro Time 1.0 supports English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese languages.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* iOS 7.0 or later
* 11.8MB
Pricing and Availability:
Pomodoro Time 1.0 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available upon request. Complete information about countries, cities, categories and subcategories, units and currencies the application contains can be found on XwaveSoft's homepage.

* Manage tasks
* Track progress throughout the week, month or custom period
* Set and track targeted number of tasks to complete
* Customize task and break durations
* Ability to start, pause, or skip pomodoros
* Custom alarm sound
* Alarm sounds while app runs in the background

* Widget in the notification center
* Syncs between iDevices
* One universal app for iPhone and iPad
Pomodoro Time continually runs in the background to let alarms sound so users will never miss a deadline. Alarms can be customized, while the task timer defaults with an original ticking sound (optional). For extended functionality, Pomodoro Time also offers a widget in the notification center. Users can sync the application across iPhone and iPad for an organized and succinct working environment. Pomodoro Time can be present wherever it is needed, allowing users to rest assure that responsibilities will not be forgotten.
The color scheme offers an optimistic view on daily time management by helping to reduce the mundane necessity of completing one's chores. The minimalistic interface reduces the frustrations of compiling to-do lists and several post-its, while breaking from a task to check the clock (then dwell on the clock... and so on). It also helps to keep users focused with a simple, but powerful display of the timer, which distracts users from wanting to take a few minutes to socialize or peruse the Web when faced with a tedious, but important job.
"When taxed with a project assignment, we noticed that people from all industries and personality types became anxious and counter-productive when faced with the notion of balancing many priorities with short deadlines," said Denys Yevenko, CEO/Founder of XwaveSoft. "our goal is to provide people with a powerful productivity tool, combining the Pomodoro Technique, to make time management a breeze. Ultimately, to re-train individuals to give their body and brain the needed rest to re-group and stay productive for longer periods of time."
