IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paragon Software Group today announces the "Lost in Translation, Found in a Dictionary" contest. Travelers are invited to share a funny experience from a trip abroad where cross-cultural communication went horribly wrong. Entrants are invited to share what happened when they attempted to order a meal, get directions from a local, or check in at a hotel in another country. Entering is easy; simply comment on the "Lost in Translation, Found in a Dictionary" post on the Slovoed Facebook page.

Freiburg, Germany - Paragon Software Group (PSG), developer of Slovoed talking dictionary apps - the trusted line of dictionaries and reference applications for mobile devices, tablets, and PCs - is happy to announce the launch of their "Lost in Translation, Found in a Dictionary" contest. All it takes for travelers to enter the contest is to share a funny experience during a trip abroad where cross-cultural communication went horribly wrong. The "Lost in Translation, Found in a Dictionary" contest is open to all travelers who would like to share the hilarious and confusing situations that arose during their travels abroad due to a cross-cultural communication gap.

Slovoed talking dictionary apps aim to be the best way to avoid any confusing situations while traveling abroad, offering more than 180 dictionaries for over 35 world's languages, available for in-app purchase. Users can preview a full wordlist and 100 sample translations of each dictionary before buying. The app allows users to quickly and easily navigate through and try out dictionaries for a number of languages, including Arabic, Vietnamese, Czech, Swedish, Turkish, Uzbek, Latin, Hebrew, Spanish, Italian, and more. Users will also experience great advanced search, learning and translation features.

"Entrants simply share with other travelers their trip abroad, and any humorous situations that occurred when they tried to communicate with the locals. Such as ordering what they thought would be a delicious dish, but it turned out to be a stomach-turning disaster," says Paragon Software Group PR Director Katia Shabanova. "Or, how about the time they asked a local for directions to one location, but wound up at a completely different place? Tell us what happened next. Did everything turn out all right in the end?" Anyone who shares their tale of travel miscommunication with PSG will win a license for any of their Slovoed talking dictionary apps (available for 35 languages for Android, iOS, OS X, Windows PC).

The full text features in Slovoed talking dictionary apps allows users to look up words more efficiently throughout the whole dictionary, with content including headwords, idioms and usage examples. Wildcard search allows users who are unsure of the exact word spelling to use "?" and "*" symbols to replace the missing letters. The handy Morphology module allows anyone to translate words in any grammatical form (for German, English, French, Spanish and Russian dictionaries).

Features:
* Copy words or phrases from other apps to instantly look them up in the dictionary
* List of similar words in case of misspelling
* Search for anagrams, e.g. tab/bat
* Hyperlinks between articles and directions
* No Internet connection required, simply download the dictionary once
* Favorite articles to quickly access and revise frequently searched words

Slovoed talking dictionary apps offer audio pronunciations recorded by native speakers, making it easy for users to master their spoken language skills for any of the languages offered. Full linguistic information is included, making Slovoed a must-have app for any language scholar for English, French, Spanish and Russian dictionaries. Flash card quizzes allow users to add new words to flash cards, memorize them, and test their knowledge until they get it right. The app also includes a handy converter, allowing users to quickly understand foreign units of measure when traveling in a foreign country.

The "Lost in Translation, Found in a Dictionary" contest runs on Slovoed Language Universe's Facebook page from May 28 to June 1, 2015. To enter the contest, entrants simply submit a short story in the comments section under the "Lost in Translation, Found in a Dictionary" post.

Any Apple Watch owner can now quickly view the Pomodoro timer information on their wrist, without the need to take their iPhone out of their pocket to view it. This makes keeping track of the time remaining much more efficient.

The basic five steps of the Pomodoro Technique are:
* Define the tasks that you'll be working on
* Set the Pomodoro timer to X minutes (25 minutes by default)
* Start working and continue until the timer rings
* Take a short break (usually 3 to 5 minutes)
* After four Pomodoro alarms, take a longer break (15 to 30 minutes as a rule)

"Before Pomodoro Time Pro, users were forced to use a low-tech approach, using a mechanical timer, paper and pencil," says XwaveSoft owner Denys Yevenko. "However, by making use of the Pomodoro Time Pro app, users can quickly enter their tasks, configure breaks, and track their progress with just a few simple taps and swipes on the screen of their iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch."

Users can also track the time left, and take short breaks when notified to by the app. They can also track their tasks on their iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac, as Pomodoro Time Pro syncs all the information about tasks over all of their devices, making it easy to set goals and to keep track of their tasks, no matter which iOS device or Mac computer they're currently using.

Customize to maximize productivity:
* Pomodoro duration
* Short break duration
* Long break duration
* Number of Pomodoro between long breaks
* Target number of Pomodoro per day

Features:
* Now supports Apple Watch
* Manage your tasks
* Track your progress throughout the day, week or custom period
* Fast and easy goal tracking
* Possibility to start/pause/skip the current Pomodoro
* Original ticking sound (optional)
* Custom alarm sound or vibration
* Alarms sound even if the app is in the background
* Interactive notifications
* Widget in the Notification Center
* Full synchronization between iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac
* One universal app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch

Using Pomodoro Time Pro 1.3 allows users to easily use the Pomodoro technique of getting things done, achieving their goals faster and more efficiently by breaking down tasks into timed periods of activity, followed by short breaks, helping users to power through distractions, gain better focus, and get things done in short periods of time, with frequent opportunities to pause and relax.

24U releases 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In 5.0 for FileMaker Pro 14 - Published on 05/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

24U Software today releases 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In 5.0, a major upgrade to their popular FileMaker plugin for Mac & Windows. 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In enables FileMaker Pro 14 to display dynamically created professionally looking OS-native error messages, input dialogs, and progress bars in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. Version 5.0 takes full advantage of the 64-bit architecture, as well as offers better stability when multiple copies of the plug-in are accidentally installed at the same time.

Prague, Czech Republic - 24U Software today is proud to announce a major upgrade of 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In to enable FileMaker Pro 14 to display dynamically created professionally looking OS-native error messages, input dialogs, and progress bars in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes.

24U SimpleDialog Plug-In 5.0 has been rewritten to use the latest OS technologies and take the full advantage of the 64-bit architecture, so that it works well with FileMaker Pro 14 and the current and future versions of OS X and Windows. Other improvements include better performance and better stability when multiple copies of the plug-in are accidentally installed at the same time.

Major changes introduced in the version 5.0:
* Full compatibility with FileMaker Pro 14 in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes
* The dialog displaying and handling core updated to use the current OS technologies
* Resolved collision of multiple copies of the plug-in being installed

Other recent changes and new features:
* Full support for text styles in dialog fields (except for color on Windows)
* Dialogs can be updated on the fly without dismissing and re-displaying
* Conditional popup menus

About 64-bit architecture:
FileMaker Pro gained support for 64-bit architecture with the release of version 14. Users can choose whether to use FileMaker Pro 14 as 32-bit or 64-bit application. However, if plug-ins are used they must match the architecture of the FileMaker Pro application. It will take some time before all plug-ins are updated to support 64-bit architecture natively. So, if a user needs to use 32-bit plug-ins with FileMaker Pro 14 it is necessary to run FileMaker Pro in the 32-bit mode as well. On a Mac it is as easy as opening the Get Info dialog for the application and enable the option to run the app in 32-bit mode. On Windows the appropriate architecture needs to be chosen before installing the FileMaker Pro 14.

24U SimpleDialog Plug-In 5.0 addresses the need for different architectures by providing versions for both 32-bit and 64-bit environments, letting users use the version that suits better their actual needs depending on other circumstances.

About 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In:
24U SimpleDialog Plug-In allows FileMaker solutions to interact with users via professionally looking dialogs to provide excellent user experience with minimum development effort. Since its first release back in 2001 the plug-in has grown to a feature rich user interaction addition for FileMaker solutions, while still retaining its ease of use and offering syntax that's as simple as the dialog it is supposed to display.

Most customers use 24U SimpleDialog primarily to save development time and provide better user experience in their solutions...

Vincenzo Menanno, director of FileMaker development at Beezwax, said at FileMaker DevCon 2014: "The biggest value that we get with SimpleDialog is creating solutions that look professional, keep the user informed, and provide us with a great solution for our clients. SimpleDialog is very easy to use and once we use it we use it over and over."

Paul de Halle, CEO of Linear Blue says: "One of the reasons we really like the 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In is not just it's ease of use but its added value to the solutions that we develop for our clients. It allows us to put a level of functionality in some systems, that would not be possible with anything else."

System Requirements and Compatibility:
24U SimpleDialog Plug-in 5.0 requires Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer and FileMaker Pro 12 or newer. Recommended is Mac OS X 10.10 and FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced or newer.

Windows XP SP3 and FileMaker Pro 12 are minimum requirements for using the plug-in on the Windows platform. Windows 7 or newer and FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced or newer are recommended.

At least FileMaker Pro 14 is necessary to take advantage of the 64-bit architecture. Older versions of the plug-in are available for FileMaker Pro versions 4 through 11.

Pricing and Availability:
24U SimpleDialog Plug-In 5.0 is immediately available for download free of charge as a fully functional 14-days trial version, which can be activated after purchasing a license. Licenses for 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In start at $49 (USD) per user, volume discounts are available for 5 or more users. Existing customers can upgrade to the new version at 50 % off the regular prices if placing order within 14 days upon release, and 30 % off if buying later. Customers who have bought 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In on or after January 1, 2015 are eligible for free upgrade. Optional Premium Support and Implementation services are available with the purchase of 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In 5.0.

The leading iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch bilingual dictionary translates between English and Thai now offers extremely useful Apple Watch support. Lead developer Mahmud Ahsan said, "Now the dictionary will be more useful with the new Apple watch feature. Both students and travelers can use Thai Dictionary to translate nearly anything from Thai into English or vice versa."

Key Features:

Steer Physics - A Fun and Challenging One-Of-Its-Kind Puzzler for iOS - Published on 05/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Developer Kenetic Bytes today introduces Steer Physics 1.0, its new game title exclusively for iOS devices. In this challenging puzzler, players simply need to draw lines to maneuver a ball around obstacles to reach a flag. The ball needs to pick up one or more stars along the way. The rules are straightforward. The more stars players collect, the higher they score. The fewer lines they draw, the higher they score. The sooner the ball reaches the flag, the higher they score.

Coconut Creek, Florida - Kenetic Bytes today is proud to announce the release of Steer Physics 1.0, exclusively for iOS devices. Players become immersed in this challenging puzzler, where all they need to do is draw lines to maneuver a ball around obstacles to reach a flag. The ball needs to pick up one or more stars along the way. The rules are straightforward. The more stars players collect, the higher they score. The fewer lines they draw, the higher they score. The sooner the ball reaches the flag, the higher they score. Players should follow these mantras and see how they stack up against others on Game Center.

Gravity could be a double-edged sword, so you will have to use the ball's momentum or other means of propulsion to get through most levels. The ball is fragile and moving obstacles have a tendency to shatter it. This starter pack comes with 50 exciting levels filled with soothing music, amusing sound effects and even explosions. The levels may look easy at first but don't be fooled by their simplicity. Some could take an hour or more to solve and players will find themselves playing well into the night. However, if they have that special knack and happen to breeze through these levels, rest assured, we will be adding more soon.

How to play:
* Touch and drag one finger to draw one or more lines to steer the ball toward the flag
* Double tap or press Play to start or stop the ball
* To erase the lines, swipe across them with two fingers
* Collect at least one star to clear each level

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

Pricing and Availability:
Steer Physics 1.0 is Free, and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. As always, feel free to send us your valuable feedback and suggestions.

The app functions like a local forum allowing anyone to create and discover interesting local content. Use text, audio, photo and video to share with friends, family and the people around you. You may choose to post either publicly or anonymously.

San Francisco, California - Plaza, the new dynamic social network app that brings your city to life, has chosen Silicon Valley to debut its United States App Store Introduction. With a population of over 3 million, Silicon Valley is the leading start-up ecosystem for high-tech innovation and development, accounting for one-third of all the venture investment in the United States.

"After a successful Canadian launch, we knew the next stop was Silicon Valley," said Spencer Graham, Founder, Plaza Applications, LLC. "With Plaza, we created a platform that allows users to discover interesting local content to share with their city and the globe. The name Plaza is fitting since that's the center of a city where people gather and Silicon Valley is the center of high tech in the United States."

Plaza is the dynamic new social network for your city! Plaza functions like a local forum (think Reddit meets Google Maps) allowing you to create and discover interesting local content. Use text, audio, photo and video to share yourself with friends, family and the people around you. You may choose to post either publicly or anonymously. Share jokes, ask questions, post relevant updates, and make confessions. Anything you want! Plaza creates a unique community, allowing conversations that normally wouldn't have taken place to happen between different kinds of people.

Plaza Special Features:
* New: Send private messages to other users and create group chats
* Feeds from your city or from anywhere around the World
* Choose from Hundreds of Avatars that best represent you
* Post in local city or world categories
* Create niche local categories to communicate in
* Use text, audio, photo and video to express yourself
* Easily switch between public and anonymous modes

"Our original idea was to create a live feed for an entire city. Social networking is trending further towards local communication, but sometimes it can get boring seeing posts from the same people on Facebook," said Spencer Graham, Founder of Plaza Applications, LLC. With Plaza, we created a platform that allows you to get this unique perspective, to be able to see posts from any person that shares the same city as you whether you know them or not. Instead of focusing on friend lists and followers like most social networks, we focus on providing a user-friendly open forum that allows you to share with anyone. This will in turn provide a place to spark conversations that normally wouldn't have taken place. The name Plaza is fitting since that's the center of a city where people gather."
