Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its Internet search and research tool DEVONagent. The new version cleans up the user interface, comes with an improved see-also algorithm, is faster, and fixes some bugs. The updates are free and recommended for all users.

DEVONagent is DEVONtechnologies' answer to the information flood: a research assistant equipped with artificial intelligence. DEVONagent Pro 3.9 introduces a new Inspectors pane unifying several other panes. It gives users access to page properties, objects retrieved by scanners, and related pages. Properties include the author's name, the page description, keywords, and more. The retrieved objects such as, e.g., links, images, videos, or RSS feeds are presented in actionable lists. Therefore users can conveniently extract and re-use them. Finally, the See Also Inspector shows related pages from the archive, search runs, or retrieved from web search engines.

Further workflow enhancements include a new menu option to remove all search results from a selected domain. DEVONtechnologies has also heavily revised menus and keyboard shortcuts. This makes researching with DEVONagent easier and faster.

READING MAGIC-Learning to Read Through Advanced Phonics Games for iOS - Published on 02/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Preschool University today releases a huge update for READING MAGIC for iOS. This app provides practice in reading 3-letter words. It is designed to enhance phonological awareness through learning games using sounds, pictures, and letters. The app has three games in one app. This app provides children the opportunity to blend letter sounds they hear to make words, segment words they hear into their component sounds and to read complete words.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Preschool University today is proud to announce the release of a huge update to READING MAGIC, their 23rd education app, which provides practice in reading 3-letter words. Designed to enhance the phonological awareness that is the key to reading mastery through learning games, the app employs interactive sounds, pictures, and letters. The update features new menus screens and new game screens to deliver clearer presentations and gameplay so that learning will be more effective for children. The update includes new categories and an organized system of tracking progress. There are three games included in this app which deal with reading and the two skills necessary for successful reading; blending and segmenting.

Blending is taking individual letter sounds and combining or blending them into a meaningful word. It could be called "auditory reading" or reading just by sounds with NO letters. This can be a difficult task for beginning readers and requires practice and patience to understand thoroughly. The process of turning /c/ /a/ //t/ into "cat" is a neurological challenge for emerging readers. It may take some practice to develop this skill, but the time spent is well worth it. Blending is the best way of preparing a child for the much more difficult and essential skill of segmenting.

In Skill 1 Listening, there is a large empty space at the center of the screen. At the bottom of the screen, there are three white sound rectangles. As each one of these rectangles is tapped, a sound is heard, and the corresponding letter is shown that makes that sound. The tiles are to be tapped from left to right. The child is to listen to the sounds and blend them together in his mind and say the word, "cat." The child is to turn the sounds of c..........a.............t into a "cat." After the child has blended the word in his mind, he can tap on the big empty box at the top of the game screen. When the box is tapped, a picture appears and the word is announced by the app. There is an ear icon button on the left center side of the screen that can be touched to have the sound tiles sound off in sequence from left to right.

Segmenting is one of the most important skills children need for successful spelling, reading and writing. Segmenting can be difficult. One way to look at segmenting is that it is spelling words using the sounds of the letters rather than the names of the letters. Segmenting is a skill and exercise that is unknown to most parents and even many educators, and yet, "The best predictor of reading difficulty in kindergarten or first grade is the inability to segment words and syllables into constituent sound units (phonemic awareness)." (Lyon, 1995). Segmenting is closely associated with spelling. Segmenting is taking a word and breaking it up into its sound parts. In segmenting, the sounds and not the names of the letters are used.

In Skill 2 Speaking, the skill of segmenting is practiced. There is a large picture of an object at the top of the screen. There are three white rectangles tiles that are at the bottom of the screen. The name of the word that is the picture is spoken by the app, "dog." The goal is to break the word down into its simplest component sounds. The child pronounces the word aloud and then says each phoneme or letter sound that makes up that word as she touches the white rectangles in sequence.The child is to tap each sound tile in sequence as she says each sound of the word. The child is to tap the first tile as she says the sound, "d." The child is to tap the second tile as she says the sound, "o." The child is to tap the third tile as she says the sound, "g."

The Reading mode should ideally be used only after practicing and becoming proficient at Skill 1 Listening and Skill 2 Speaking. The reading mode is designed to encourage reading and discourage picture guessing by keeping the picture hidden until after the user taps on the empty picture frame. That way, children can read the word without being distracted by the picture.

In Skill 3 Reading, the blending and segmentation practice from the first two skill levels is put to use. Words of two to four letters appear on the bottom of the screen with one letter in each rectangle. Consonants are red, and vowels are blue. The large square is empty. Many students will see the word and read it immediately. For those who need help, they can touch each letter to hear its sound. To verify his answer, the child, touches the large white square to reveal a picture and to hear its corresponding word being pronounced by the app. Skill 3 Reading incorporates the skills learned during Skill 1 Listening and Skill 2 Speaking, and cements the connection between the letters and sounds, the letters and the word, and the word and the illustration to which it refers.

READING MAGIC can help a child's future reading success by focusing on the key skills of blending and segmenting using only CVC (consonant - vowel - consonant) words, such as cat, box, and pig. In the first part of the app, the menus have words categorized by middle-vowel sounds. In the second part of the app menu, the words are sorted by categories rather than by vowel sound. The app has more than 200 words with the paid version or with an In App Purchase from the free version. The paid version also has options for voice choices, font styles, font colors and lesson tracking.

ABC READING MAGIC gives children solid and direct experience with letters and sounds to help build their phonemic awareness skills. It helps improve childrens' phonological processing ability, guiding them towards becoming great readers. The educational app has three skill levels for reading development: Blending, Segmenting, and Reading.

Feature Highlights:
* Fun app for preschoolers that concentrates on reading 3-letter words

"This app series uses the best methods for teaching children how to read, by starting with blending and segmenting," said Hestia Abeyesekera, Ed.D. of Kinderhaus of Musik. "A team of educators using accelerated learning techniques and Montessori principles developed this fun app, which your child will enjoy using as they learn," stated Richard Colombini of Preschool University. "It has been tested and successfully used with preschoolers."

Filmster: Find The Best Films On iTunes - Published on 02/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer, Maxime Gabella today announces Filmster for iOS devices. The app searches iTunes for films that were in competition at top international film festivals. It then creates a list of available films specifying the awards that they won. The user can choose between four major events: Cannes, Venice, Berlin Film Festivals, and The Oscars. Upcoming versions of Filmster will involve more festivals (Toronto, Sundance, Tribeca) and more award ceremonies (BAFTA, Cesar).

Lausanne, Switzerland - Independent developer, Maxime Gabella today is proud to introduce Filmster for iOS devices. The app searches iTunes for films that were in competition at top international film festivals---Cannes, Venice, Berlin---and at the Oscars. It creates a list of available films specifying the awards that they won. All film enthusiasts can benefit from this quick and enlightened way to find gold on iTunes.

Looking for a good movie on iTunes can turn into a challenging experience. The homepage is flooded with movies sorted by release date or genre, but only very few of them are genuinely interesting. The "Bestsellers" are promoted blindly, regardless of their (dubious) quality. Even though it is not possible to use it in the search, some qualitative information is provided by the "Ratings." However, they are averaged over many contributors, which dilutes their critical relevance.

Filmster is designed to boost iTunes search engine. It relies on film festivals and award ceremonies, whose vocation is precisely to select the most exciting films in the world. The user can choose between four major events: Cannes, Venice, Berlin Film Festivals, and The Oscars. The search can be refined with the categories of awards and the years (1981-2014). Filmster then generates a list of films satisfying these criteria, and tapping on one of them redirects to the iTunes Store in the user's country (adjustable in the Parameters). Just like in gold panning, dull films spilled out and only the gold remains!

"Quantitative classifications by bestsellers, popularity, or average ratings do not accurately reflect the quality of the films they are promoting. It makes much more sense to trust specific cinema experts to select truly fascinating films," said Maxime Gabella, creator of Filmster.

Upcoming versions of Filmster will involve more festivals (Toronto, Sundance, Tribeca, and more) and more award ceremonies (BAFTA, Cesar), as well as top-film lists by celebrated directors.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* Size: 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Filmster 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. The app works best with iTunes Stores in English or other European languages.

"We completed Tempi's design and beta-testing. Now we are ready for production and plan to have Tempi in customer's hands by June 2015," said Vencipio President Arif Quronfleh. "We cannot do this without the support and pledges from backers on Kickstarter. Funds are needed to begin manufacturing and buy components in large quantities to ensure that Tempi will be available at the affordable price we designed it to be."

Features include:

QuizFlick Jr - A Truly Social Quiz App - Published on 02/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Happi Papi today released QuizFlick Jr, a new form of quiz app where kids and adults can compete on equal terms. The tabletop game is a true social game where 1-4 friends or family members battle it out on the same device rather than playing against anonymous opponents on the Internet. The game adds an extra dimension with built-in flick games by competing for balls by answering quiz questions. QuizFlick Jr will draw trivia players online back to the kitchen or break room table.

Tampa, Florida - Renowned learning apps developer Happi Papi has today released a new tabletop quiz app concept where everybody can compete on equal terms. Breaking away from today's traditional trivia app format of playing a faceless opponent over the Internet, QuizFlick Jr instead pits kids against parents, subordinates against bosses and boyfriends against girlfriends in a social gaming experience on a shared device.

In addition to besting your opponents face to face in a game of trivia, QuizFlick Jr adds an extra dimension with built-in flick games. Simply put, players compete for balls by answering quiz questions. Once a player has won 10 balls the game moves on to part two where all players try to score points by flicking their earned balls against different goals.

"We love trivia but with QuizFlick Jr we didn't want to create just another quiz app," says Patrick Larson of Happi Papi. "Instead, we wanted to create an app where people of all ages could show off on equal terms," Patrick continues.

Happi Papi's way of leveling the playing field was to create two sets of trivia questions, one for younger players and one for older players. They also designed flicking games to add a dimension that caters to the non-trivia buffs in your party.

"We are in the app business," says Patrick Larson, "but we still want people to interact with each other in the real world. For that to happen you have to create a game that is both quick and fun and also gives people of different abilities an equal opportunity to gloat," he continues.

If Happi Papi will be able to draw trivia players online back to the kitchen or break room table remains to be seen but the concept looks interesting. The fact that kids now have a way of showing their parents how much they actually know should be enough for QuizFlick to be considered for family game night.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.1 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5, 6/6�Plus
* 33.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
QuizFlick Jr 1.0 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

NoteStream Launches 2.0 Update, Creates Unparalleled User Experience - Published on 02/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based NoteStream, Inc. today announces NoteStream 2.0, an update to its innovative learning app for iOS devices. NoteStream was specifically designed to enable users to find, enjoy and follow long-form articles and blogs easily on their mobile devices. Version 2.0 provides readers with an enhanced user experience and navigation capabilities, unprecedented control over in-app push notifications and improved search functionality.

Irvine, California - NoteStream(TM), the innovative learning app designed to enable users to find, enjoy and follow long-form articles and blogs easily on their mobile devices, today announced the launch of NoteStream version 2.0. Available via the Apple(R) App Store, NoteStream's latest update provides readers with an enhanced user experience and navigation capabilities, unprecedented control over in-app push notifications and improved search functionality.

Founded in 2014 by Richard and Michelle Forsythe, the NoteStream app presents content known as NoteStreams in sequential, short, easy-to-read segments known as Notes. Ideal for consumption on a mobile device, unlimited NoteStreams can be saved in a user's personal file box, are accessible in any order, always remember the user's last place, and once downloaded, are available offline. Key features of NoteStream version 2.0 include:

* The Power Wheel(TM) - the innovative Power Wheel allows users to navigate the app in an intuitive way. In addition, the Power Wheel makes it simple to share a NoteStream via social media and offers the ability to bookmark a particular note for easy access later.

* Push Notification Control - NoteStream provides readers with unprecedented control over push notifications by allowing them to set the frequency of in-app notifications to either immediately, daily or weekly.

* Red Crumbs(TM) - with the introduction of Red Crumbs, users have the ability to "follow the trail of crumbs" to find new and updated content within the NoteStream app, offering a clearly marked trail to new content from the user's favorite authors.

* Author Profiles - authors will now have the opportunity to contribute as both a primary or secondary contributor, allowing those who write for multiple publications to have their work featured on NoteStream either as part of the publication or individually. Each NoteStream clearly displays its author along with their respective background or biography.

* Explore Page - designed to inspire and encourage discovery, the Explore Page allows each subject category of interest to be sorted in one of four ways: by rating, newest, author name or A to Z. Additionally, readers can choose to follow authors via the Author Profile in Explore or even at the end of each NoteStream.

To compliment the app's update, NoteStream's website will also be getting a makeover. In conjunction with the launch, the NoteStream website will now include author profiles, as well as full NoteStreams. Authors and their respective NoteStreams will be linked, allowing users to browse online content more effectively. Users will also have the opportunity to add NoteStreams to their mobile app directly from the website.

"Mobile devices and apps account for more than half of the Internet usage in the U.S.[1]," said Michelle Forsythe, CEO and co-founder of NoteStream. "Not only are we now seeing mobile exceed PCs in terms of how users are accessing the Internet and information, but we are also now understanding the impact that mobile devices and apps themselves have on how we consume content. Studies show nearly 90 percent of time spent on mobile is spent in apps[2]. Mobile responsive websites simply aren't good enough. NoteStream metrics have shown that 73 percent of users that start a NoteStream will finish it, even with longer content. By continuously adding new expert contributors to the NoteStream app, we are providing users with wide-ranging categories for exploration, and giving bloggers, writers and journalists a powerful platform to engage with their readership via mobile."

MailRaider is bigger, better and in your pocket - Published on 02/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Have you got old e-mails archived somewhere? Have you ever wished that you could read your old Microsoft Outlook .msg or winmail.dat files on your Mac, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch? Wish no more - because MailRaider is now available on iOS as well as Mac OS X. It can open files written by Outlook and extract the attachments. MailRaider Pro adds more power, support for additional mail formats, including Winmail.dat (TNEF), and the ability to extract email to XML and MBOX.

London, United Kingdom - MailRaider was the first application available for the Mac capable of reading Microsoft Outlook files and it's still the essential tool for anyone upgrading from a Windows computer to Mac - no longer are all those email files lost and unreadable.

MailRaider Pro added support for additional mail formats, including Winmail.dat (TNEF), and the ability to extract email as XML so that you can process it later using tools of your own. MailRaider Pro can automatically extract your Outlook files into the most appropriate format - so Message files are extracted into Apple Mail format (or your email client of choice), appointments are extracted into Calendar format and addresses are extracted into Contacts format. Better yet, if you have many emails to extract then you can choose to extract them in bulk - and save them to MBox format for import directly into your Mail client.

MailRaider and MailRaider Pro are now joined by MailRaider for iOS. It's the same essential tool, but in your pocket.

You now know that MailRaider is powerful - but how easy is it to use? With a configurable user interface, the answer is 'very easy'. On the Mac, you can configure MailRaider with the tools that you need - and hide the tools that you aren't interested in. MailRaider is as personal as your email. MailRaider Pro can, of course, display your email with the formatting intact - but if you prefer your email to be plain and stripped of all unnecessary content then you can choose to display your email without formatting as well.

MailRaider is beautiful too, with high resolution custom icons that shine on your Retina display equipped Mac or iOS device. It's even beautiful on Macs without Retina screens - no attention to detail has been spared in providing the best user experience.

Searching through your emails is as easy as falling off a log. MailRaider Pro has support for QuickLook (so that you can read your email without loading MailRaider) and Spotlight (so that you can easily search for the Outlook file that you need).

Full help is provided on all MailRaider functionality. If you're stuck for an answer, check the help files. If you're still none the wiser then explore the 45RPM Software forums and start a discussion about your problem. If neither of these facilities answer your questions then just send them an email. Whichever way you slice it, they've got you covered.

MailRaider for Mac isn't Anglocentric either. In addition to English, MailRaider is localised into French, Spanish and German - and not just for the application itself either, the help files are fully translated too. On MailRaider for iOS there isn't any need for large amounts of text in the UI - and icons are universally understandable.

System Requirements (Mac):
* Requires a 64bit Mac (most Intel Macs built in 2007 or newer)
* Running Mac OS X 10.6 or newer
* 20 MB free disk space

System Requirements (iOS):
* Requires any iOS device running iOS 7.1 or newer

Of course, all 45RPM Software benefits from exceptional support - you'll never be left feeling forgotten or unloved. If you've got a problem with any 45RPM Software applications then let them know (on the support forums, via twitter or via email) and they will help you out. And whichever version of MailRaider you choose, there are no hidden costs in the form of costly in-app upgrades.

Our most popular applications are Locamatic (since 2007) and MailRaider (since 2009) - but USBleat (2013) has proven surprisingly popular in Holland and Japan.
