Glimpse lets you use every webpage as iOS8 Widget - Published on 02/06/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

APPenzeller announces Glimpse - Webpages in the Today View 1.01, their recently launched widget for iOS8. Glimpse pushes the limits of the iOS8 Notification Center even further by letting the user add any webpage to it. The app provides the user an easy way to track their favourite webpages with one swipe, effectively turning this Notification Center Widget into a true internet browser. It is possible to choose a specific area of the webpage that should be displayed in the widget.

Frankfurt, Germany - APPenzeller is proud to announce Glimpse - Webpages in the Today View 1.01, their recently launched widget that pushes the limits of the iOS8 Notification Center even further by letting the user add any webpage to it. Glimpse provides the user an easy way to track their favourite webpages with one swipe, effectively turning this Notification Center Widget into a true internet browser.

The user can see all their favourite webpages with a swipe down in the Notification Center. Want to see if there are news? If there is something new on a favourite webpage? If a long awaited product is available to order or check the used mobile data? All of this is possible by adding a webpage right within Glimpse with a few taps. It is possible to choose a specific area of the webpage that should be displayed in the widget. Another use of the iOS8 extensibility is the Safari Action Extension that lets the user add a page directly from Safari to the App.

In this Widget, the page can be refreshed at a given interval depending on user settings and the current connection (WiFi or Mobile). So Glimpse avoids unnecessary drain of battery or data usage. If no refresh is made, the widget displays a cache image of the website. On reload, the website is live in the Notification Center. When an interval is too long or the user wishes to refresh immediately, there is a option to refresh the widget manually. Furthermore, the webpage can be opened directly in Safari to see the full page.

Features:
* Add a Page to the Notification Center
* Scroll and zoom to a certain area of the page
* Remembers the page position, so that it is always in the right place
* Individual refresh intervals for Wifi and mobile data
* Open webpages from inside the Widget
* Add a page directly from Safari with the Glimpse Safari Extension
* Many options

When adding a webpage, it is possible to scroll and zoom to a certain area of the page. The widget remembers this position, so that it is always in the right place (Note: Glimpse works best with mobile optimised webpages). The app is not restricted to one webpage. A user can add a unlimited number of pages and navigate between them with controls in the widget.

Currently the app is localised in English and German. More languages will come with future updates which are already in development. The next update will possibly use future Apple products. More info on this will be posted soon.

* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus

Zenify - Train Your Mindfulness To Improve How You Experience Life - Published on 02/06/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer, Levon Terteryan today announces Zenify. We believe many problems in life are the result of living life "on autopilot" with our unconscious at the controls. Zenify retrains you to live with more self-awareness and mindfulness through short meditative assignments and brain training exercises. These are designed to rewire your neuronal circuits and equip you to live more consciously and grounded in the present moment. The result is an improved ability to live a better life.

Austin, Texas - Independent developer, Levon Terteryan today is pleased to announce his new app Zenify for iOS and Android devices. At some point in your life, you've likely heard someone say, "My head just isn't into this," or that person's "head isn't in the game." Remarks like these often accompany instances of low performance or unfulfilled expectations in the context of business or athletic performance. However, "not having your head in the game" can certainly have a tremendous impact on many aspects of life, especially the overall quality of someone's human experience.

Zenify is a new mobile app that helps users unlearn what they have learned and retrains them to live with more self-awareness and mindfulness in everything they do. It works by interjecting short meditative assignments and brain training exercises throughout a user's day. These activities are designed to "rewire" your neuronal circuits and retool your instincts to live more consciously in the present moment.

"I've practiced mindfulness training and meditative techniques for a long time and have helped others discover the many benefits of it. It's a passion of mine," says Zenify founder Levon Terteryan, a career entrepreneur. "My goal with Zenify is to make it easy for people to discover the benefits of mindfulness training and integrate it into their busy lives in a very 'organic' way, through their smartphone."

Mindfulness training isn't just the domain of philosophers and gurus. Though we can credit Buddhism for curating the concept through the centuries, the practice itself is non-religious in nature, and a large and growing body of scientific research is validating its ability to boost human performance and well-being in a wide variety of ways.

"The frantic pace of life shows no signs of slowing down, and as technology continues to become a bigger part of it, people on a large scale will need to be even more intentional about tending to the needs of their human nature," adds Terteryan. "The brain training exercises and mindfulness meditation techniques in Zenify give people a really easy way to do that. Our goal is not necessarily to change people's lives...but to equip them to live life in an awakened state of consciousness that allows them to experience the full splendor of life and gain the best possible perspective on their own unique human existence."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 7.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Zenify Premium - Meditation, Clarity and Mindfulness 1.0 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.There is also an Android version available on Google Play.
