Alternative Browser YEP! for iOS now supports additional file formats - Published on 03/10/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power App AG today announces Yep! Browser for iOS8 version 1.3.0, an update to their popular web browser for iPhone and iPad. Yep! is an alternative browser for iOS with a focus on stability.

Power APP now decided to update their browser and add additional features, mainly additional sound and movie formats to ensure compatibility.

"We found that Yep! is still faster than many other browser for iOS while running more stable. But at the same time we had the feeling it needs to grow up. So we decided to give it an update and add additional functionality. Of course the main focus still is on stability and avoiding ballast that would have a negative impact on speed and performance. In fact, the most asked question from users was exactly this, to allow additional sound and movie formats." as Christian Schaffner, GM of Power APP explains.

Version1.3.0 now supports mp3, caff, aiff, ogg, wma, m4a, m4v, wmv, 3gp ,mp4, mov, avi, mkv, mpeg, mpg, flv and vob file types.

Vocab Tool App Presents the Most Spectacular Listening Feature for iOS - Published on 03/10/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Vocab Tool team today introduces Vocab Tool 1.0, its new vocabulary teaching aid for iOS. Vocab Tool offers a unique learning process which facilitates users to memorize words permanently within a short time, using various and customizable methods, tasks, tempos. An AirPlay supported Listening feature spins a globe made of words while reading them out with their meanings. Additionally, a Text search feature searches simultaneously each word of a text in the dictionary.

Budapest, Hungary - The Vocab Tool team is proud to announce the release of Vocab Tool 1.0, its new vocabulary teaching aid for iPhone and iPad. Vocab Tool offers a unique learning process which facilitates users to memorize words permanently within a short time, using various and customizable methods, tasks, tempos. The app has two never-before seen solutions to impress users: AirPlay supported Listening feature spins a globe made of words while reading them out with their meanings. And Text search feature searches simultaneously each word of a text in the dictionary.

Vocab Tool creates learning sessions based on user preferences. The words are collected in packs in the Word pack menu. Users just set the pack(s) they want to learn and learning can be started on the Learning board. It starts teaching 20 words per session, which can be changed (5 - 200 ) to as many as the user would like. The sessions contain randomly selected words from all word packs on the learning board.

Vocab Tool will teach the meaning, pronunciation and spelling of words. The engaging teaching process varies Flashcards with smiley-based ranking, 'Choose from five' exercises and spelling games. This won't stop until the user memorizes the words or taps the finish button. Then comes the Listening exercise, which is also worth watching on any iOS device or on TV. The user can listen to the last learned session, saved sessions or selection of all words (1-2000 vocab items).

Practicing and learning the words in context is essential. The Text Search feature is great to check the meaning of the learned words with 1 tap, while reading a text. All without leaving the page or searching words one by one. The app searches all words of the text in the app's dictionary and displays the meanings (shows exact matches).

Text recognition helps the Text search feature. It is a convenient way of adding text from photo to the text field. The user can take a picture directly from the app or just select one from the device. The app is preset for instant use with sample packs and sample text to try all features. But personalization is a main feature as well. Users are allowed to customize e.g:

* The learning method: 3 algorithms are available, plus unscheduled learning
* The learning speed: 5 speed level offered
* The task types: 3 task types can be switched on/off
* The number of words per listening: maximum value can be set between 1-2000
* The learning direction: e.g. from English-Spanish to Spanish-English

Adding words to Vocab Tool is surprisingly easy. Word sets, public and user sets as well, can be downloaded from Quizlet.com and Cram.com directly from Vocab Tool app. Words without limitation can be imported from xls, xlsx and csv files. The developer provides community surface where Vocab Tool packs and user created packs are available for downloading and rating. And the users can share their words via email, AirDrop, and more.

Further important information:
* The app is available in English, German, French, Spanish and Hungarian languages
* Suitable for learning words in any language
* Displays 30 days learning schedule
* Provides word searching in dictionary per language

The developer knows: learning vocabulary is a time-consuming activity, which requires engaging and personalized solutions if the student wants to stay focused and to be successful. Vocab Tool provides these main factors with really cool features, which make the app suitable for students of every age and level, demanding either pressing or slower result.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* 68.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Vocab Tool 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. There is also a Pro version available for $2.99 (USD) that offers a banner-free surface, iCloud backup and restore, option to listen to saved Vocab Tool listening files as well as the option for changing learning speed. 5 speeds are available to speed up the algorithm if someone needs fast result.

Mu System - the world's thinnest international fast-charge charger - Published on 03/10/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Made in Mind have launched a portfolio of additional UK products and are now ready to introduce the international version of the Mu, the Mu System. Crowdfunding for the Mu System went live on Indiegogo on Thursday, 5th February 2015. The Mu System consists of two parts - the charging component and an interchangeable plug section. There are four international plug attachments to choose from, including US, EU, Australia and UK.

London, United Kingdom - The Mu Classic, the UK�s award-wining charger incorporating an innovative folding-plug design, launched in 2012 and was a roaring success, winning accolades across the board including the UKTI SmartUK Mobile Innovation award in 2013. In response to the Mu's overwhelming popularity, creators Made in Mind have launched a portfolio of additional UK products and are now ready to introduce the international version of the Mu, the Mu System. Crowdfunding for the Mu System went live on Indiegogo at 9am GMT on Thursday, 5th February 2015.

The Mu System builds on the ground-breaking - and internationally patented - swivel-plug concept. Consisting of two parts - the charging component and an interchangeable plug section - the swap-in and swap-out feature allows users to insert the right plug for their location. There are four international plug attachments to choose from, including US, EU, Australia and UK. The Mu System charger will contain a 2.4Amp battery and maintain optimized charging standards of 85%, while maintaining the a compact size of 14mm, making the Mu System 70 per cent smaller than a standard plug.

As well as the award-wining original folding design, the international Mu System incorporates a new auto-detect chip that recognizes the device being connected in order to deliver device-optimal charge. And as with all Mu products the Mu System will be compatible for use with market leading smartphones from Blackberry, Samsung, Apple, LG, HTC and Motorola.

Made in Mind have designed the Mu System, created a prototype and have manufacturing in place. All that remains to do on the project is to create the final tooling and commence production. Crowdfunding for these final steps opens on Indiegogo at 9am on Thursday the
5th February 2015 and the fundraising target has been set at $10,000.

We are thrilled to be taking the UK Mu into the international arena. After the overwhelming support and enthusiasm we received for the Mu Classic, this international product is not only a natural progression for the company but one of many responses to
popular demand from our fans. Our company has sustained its original success with the Mu Classic through direct interaction with our fans. We are delighted to be able to continue this engagement with our audience at the beginning of this, a new chapter in our company's profile. Crowdfunding has given countless other small startups not only the freedom to raise funds independently, but the ability to directly engage with a wider audience and take their ideas to an international stage. We are absolutely thrilled to be able to interact so directly with our supporters, old and new, and can't wait to use this type of engagement to make our idea into reality.

"The Mu is going global."

Mu System prototype: Access to the Mu System prototype, along with a demonstration can be arranged! Please contact us for an appointment and we will do our best to oblige.

Made in Mind is a UK start-up company based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Founders Matt Judkins and Min-Kyu Choi joined forces in 2009 to make the Folding Plug design concept into a product reality, and the result was the exceedingly popular Mu Classic charger, now a cult favourite with design and tech enthusiasts alike. Updated versions of the Mu followed in 2014, including the Mu Duo and the Mu Tablet and a colour edit of the original classic charger. Made in Mind continues to combine commercial thinking with excellence in design, working with home-grown talent to bring brilliant local ideas to a wider audience.

Red Giant Universe Creates a New World of VFX with Version 1.4 - Published on 03/10/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland based Red Giant today has updated and expanded Red Giant Universe to version 1.4, bringing users even more visual effects options in one universal library. Expanding. Faster. Everywhere. Red Giant Universe is a community offering access to an ever-expanding library of free tools for filmmakers, editors, VFX artists, and motion designers. Version 1.4 introduces eight new tools to Universe, growing the library to include 89 unique and powerful visual effects and transitions.

Portland, Oregon - Red Giant has once again updated and expanded the Red Giant Universe to version 1.4, bringing users even more visual effects options in one universal library. Version 1.4 introduces eight new tools to Universe, growing the library to include 89 unique and powerful visual effects and transitions. The update also offers new host support for FXHome HitFilm 3 Pro, allowing users to work across multiple host apps - Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion, Sony Vegas and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve - with the same effects. For a full overview of Universe 1.4's new features, watch Red Giant's introduction Vimeo video included with this release.

The Universe Expands with Eight New Tools:
Universe 1.4 offers users four new free tools and four new premium tools, making the Red Giant library one of the most extensive visual effects packages on the market. Editors and motion graphics artists can run all 89 Red Giant effects on the GPU for lightning-fast rendering, often even producing results in real-time. New tools in Universe 1.4 include:

Premium:
* Knoll Light Transition: This transition uses animated Knoll Light Factory flares, complete with 20 unique presets to quickly move users from shot to shot. It also includes control over brightness, angle and edge feathering and a choice of a dissolve or linear wipe transition.

* Picture in Picture: Easily composite and frame one layer of footage over a larger layer with Picture in Picture. The effect includes the ability to add and customize a colored border and drop shadow.

* Texturize: This effect allows users to quickly give footage a Walking Dead-style grungy textured treatment. Texturize's seamless tiling textures make it easy to animate and bring life (or death) to any video or still imagery.

* ToonIt Thermal: Give footage a simulated look and color scheme of thermal imaging systems with this new effect.

Free:
* Magnetic Displace: This new transition pushes away or pulls in footage from a center point, distorting the footage in a circular shape. It also includes controls for direction and center point.

* Soft Edge Wipe: A linear wipe transition with an adjustable feathered edge, this effect is used for transitioning between two layers of footage using a subtle blend. It includes angle control and the ability to add a colored stroke as a part of the transition.

* Elliptical Distortion: This effect warps footage spherically, with aspect controls for elliptical options. The cropping and wrap features allow users to isolate and seamlessly warp specific footage areas. The effect also includes 3D lighting controls.

* Compare Frames: This utility plug-in splits the screen into two layers of footage, placing them side-by-side. Controls include various blend modes for each layer and an option for feathering the dividing boundary for a softer edge. It also includes blending mode options and the ability to swap the views for better comparison.

Now Featuring FXHome HitFilm 3 Pro Host Support:
Universe 1.4 makes working across multiple host applications easier than ever. The newest update adds FXHome HitFilm 3 Pro to the lineup of supported host apps, joining Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Apple Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion, Sony Vegas and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve. Now, Red Giant users can utilize their presets in any application on a situational basis to bring every project to its full potential.

"Red Giant Universe is packed full of great effects, and we're excited that thousands of HitFilm 3 Pro users now get to play with them," says Joshua Davies, CEO and founder of FXHome. "We share a common goal with Red Giant of giving filmmakers more creative power, so this is great news for everyone."

Sean Safreed, cofounder of Red Giant, says, "Red Giant is a company made up of filmmakers and visual effects artists, and we are very excited to work with the team at FXHome, who share our passion for providing powerful and creative tools. FXHome has built an incredible community and we're proud to bring Red Giant Universe, our ever-expanding library of tools, to HitFilm 3 Pro."
