Language Learning App Mind the Gap Nominated for Best App Ever Awards - Published on 05/27/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The language learning App "Mind the Gap" by science-to-touch has been nominated in this years Best App Ever Awards in the category "Best Educational App". Mind the Gap is a new word game and English language learning app that focuses on a holistic approach to language. It challenges its users to reconstruct word fragments in authentic English texts. The iOS app crosses the borders of word game and language learning tool and help its user to gradually improve his or her language skills.

Munich, Germany - "Mind the Gap" is a new language learning app created by the German label science-to-touch. The app intentionally links two genres: word game and language learning app. It was nominated as a final nominee in the category "Best Educational App" in a public selection process for this year's Best App Ever Awards. Since 2011 The Best App Ever Awards are organized by the popular app review site 148Apps and aim at selecting the best and most innovative apps in a number of categories.

On the one hand "Mind the Gap" is a puzzle type word game similar to popular word guessing games. The main difference: Missing words are to be guessed from their authentic context. The app offers hints, and can be played without time pressure or in an arcade mode.

On the other hand the app is designed to improve the user's awareness of popular and authentic english language patterns. The app is based on a collection of over 500 hand-selected texts coming from different areas such as science, sports, art, music, literature and many more. The texts cover trivia and interesting facts from many different areas of human culture, life and science. The main task is to fill in missing parts of words and to reconstruct the original text by this. The percentage of destroyed words varies from 30% in the entry levels to 90% in advanced levels. Mind the Gap hereby enforces an idiomatic language use as it tackles almost all potential trouble zones of language learning from grammar to vocabulary.

"The app is a father-daughter co-production that originated from the desire for training material for so called cloze-tests, which are frequently used to test and train the language abilities of students. During development of 'Mind the Gap' we made the experience that finding the right insertions for missing words sometimes requires Sherlock Holmes like reconstruction abilities and can become a really entertaining task" says Professor Richter-Gebert, one of the two developers of the iOS app. As the author of several award winning software projects designed for the general public he has become an expert in combining authentic content with a fun, relaxing or challenging user experience. In 2012 Professor Richter-Gebert launched the creative geometry drawing app "iOrnament", which is rated 5 stars on the App Store in 14 countries.

The main features of the app include:
* Word guessing in authentic english texts
* Animated hints by removing letters form the keyboard
* Huge database of 550 texts
* Interesting trivia from all parts of human culture, life and science
* Arcade mode with idioms, proverbs and common sayings
* Automatic correction of results
* Built-in access to language dictionary
* Personalized statistics of success
* Full game center integration
* Color themes
* Integrated Help functions

"Turning a serious test scenario into a fun game was the greatest challenge. We included fun elements as for example a Tetris like arcade mode in which you must reconstruct idioms, proverbs and common sayings under time pressure. You must try to survive as long as you can and crack new high scores. Working on up to seven sentences at the same time really challenges your multitasking skills" comments Angela Gebert, second year English student and co-producer of the app.

Mind the Gap combines a fresh and motivating learning environment with an effective, casual learning method for every day. Each of the topics is decorated with hand drawn sketches, that create an atmospheric entry to the specific topic. "Mind the Gap is dedicated to all language lovers looking for a challenging high quality timekiller-app and to everyone who seeks for an easy way to improve his or her English step by step" concludes the app author Professor Richter-Gebert. The public voting for the Best App Ever Awards is open until July 3rd.

Device Requirements:
* iPad, iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 53.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mind the Gap 1.2 is $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Education category.

It is a collection of projects which are aimed at interactive visualization of science. The basic philosophy behind the project is that visualization and interactivity makes content accessible, understandable and fun. The Mind the Gap App is the second release of science-to-touch.

Find New Friends at Nearby Venues in Real Time with the LupUp App - Published on 05/27/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LupUp Ltd today releases LupUp 1.1, its new app which helps iOS and Android users meet cool new people in popular social venues around their city. As soon as a user enters a LupUp venue, they can instantly see who else is there, and interact with the people they see through instant and photo messaging. Aside from just helping its users make new friends, LupUp partners with its venues to get offer exclusive, customized discounts for app users.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands - LupUp Ltd today is proud to announce the release of its new app named LupUp which helps iOS and Android users meet cool new people in popular social venues around their city. As soon as a user enters a LupUp venue, they can instantly see who else is there, and interact with the people they see through instant and photo messaging. LupUp's list of venues includes the hottest bars, nightclubs, malls and social hotspots around New York and Chicago, and they're adding new locations daily.

Inside the app, LupUp's map function shows users the coolest places to dine, shop, and drink in their city, with an emphasis on atmosphere and quality of people. Aside from just helping its users make new friends, LupUp partners with its venues to get offer exclusive, customized discounts for app users. "Our goal is to create real life friendships. This means connecting our users and then giving them a reason to meet up face to face. We do this by providing them with awesome discounts on food, drinks and even personalized sales on their favorite brands at the mall" said Kasper Jakobsen - CEO LupUp Ltd.

LupUp is the ultimate icebreaker application. Everyone can recall a moment where they have seen someone out in public who they thought would be interesting, but missed the opportunity to connect with that person. LupUp lets you avoid asking yourself "what might have been?"

The reason LupUp has so much potential is because unlike other dating and social networking apps, the people you meet on LupUp are real people in the same venue at the same time. This means that users can sit and make new friends from the comfort of their own table or bar stool, and if it goes well, they can actually meet that person face to face.

Features:
* In-app Venue Map
* "Who's Here" discovery mode
* Send Friend Requests before contact
* Text and Photo Messaging

"We've been astounded by how our special offers have helped our users to make new friends" said Jakobsen. "Sometimes all it takes is 30% off a bottle of champagne to get two people, or even a group, to meet up and make friends."

Dallas, Texas - Dripthat LLC today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of dripthat 1.01 for the iPhone, a revolutionary new app for sharing photos and videos, delivering new ways to be creative with the content people love to share. With its advanced photo and video sharing features and attention to privacy, dripthat is a complete social content sharing app, giving people total control over what content is included, who can see it, and when it is shared.

The photo and video content that floods other social media becomes a trickle of meaningful content when shared using dripthat. The dripthat app allows people to easily find and arrange images and videos into story albums and share them in a new and exciting way. For the first time, people can also take videos and sequence them together with photos in shareable albums. Early dripthat users praise the app's ease of use and control features that save them time and make sharing and receiving content more enjoyable than ever.

"Dripthat makes it really easy for us to share content with the public as well as with close friends and family," said Andres, father of the Eh Bee family, a pioneering social media celebrity with more than 1.7 million followers on Vine, and an early dripthat user. "Being a family on social media today is time consuming and dripthat's unique platform makes it easy to manage and distribute our content even when we are on the go."

ADDING TEMPO
Books have chapters, television programs have episodes, and comic strips have panels. With dripthat, a person can not only choose what content to share, but arrange it in a specific order and set a tempo for when each new photo or video appears in the stream. The interval that content can be "dripped" can be mere minutes to as long as 90 days. Photos and videos in albums can also be shared all at once.

Features:
* First app to combine photos and videos in the same album
* Superior privacy settings ensure content is seen only by the people selected to view it
* Adds tempo to content sharing, letting people select when their content is seen
* Combine photos and videos in the same albums
* Superior privacy settings
* Hide specific people from being seen on lists of followers
* Unique in-app camera that creates albums that are immediately shareable
* Edit videos, crop photos or add filters before sharing
* Share content with specific people or groups without awkwardly defining relationships or permanently placing people in circles
* Precision sharing controls - photos and videos in "shareable" albums can be shared, downloaded and saved as screen shots; items in "not shareable" albums cannot
* Easy search and discovery of content and people to follow

People can direct their photo and video content to specific individuals or groups of people, better assuring that content is seen. People can also turn on and off feeds in order to see albums from only the people they want. Content can be shared privately or publicly, and the content creator can allow or prevent their images and videos from being re-shared to third parties.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 11.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Dripthat 1.01 is free available worldwide, exclusively through the App Store i the Photo and Video category. Android and Windows Phone versions are expected later this year.

PopChar X 7.1 - extended support for emojis and improved installer - Published on 05/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ergonis Software today released PopChar X 7.1, an improved version of the company's award-winning tool for finding and inserting special characters and exploring fonts. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. Version 7.1 offers improved support for emoji characters, comes with an improved installer, and offers many other enhancements and fixes. This update also introduces a new shape finder, which lets you find special characters simply by drawing their shape.

Perg, Austria - Ergonis Software today releases PopChar X 7.1, an improved version of the company's award-winning tool for finding and inserting special characters and exploring fonts. PopChar X 7.0 introduced the new shape finder, which lets you find special characters simply by drawing their shape. In the meanwhile, users and reviewers alike have already praised the shape finder as the best feature ever since the first release of PopChar nearly 30 years ago.

Version 7.1 offers extended support for the emoji characters, which are so popular today. When an emoji character is not available in the current font, it is now shown in the Apple Color Emoji font, which avoids empty cells in the PopChar table. Also, PopChar now shows the names of the Emoji skin tone characters.

The new version also highly improves the convenience of getting informed about and installing new versions. When a new version is available, you can now check the new features and enhancements before downloading the new version. The built-in installer has been adapted to new functions and appearance of Yosemite and helps with purchasing and updating licenses when the current license does not cover the new version.

PopChar X 7.1 finally adds many further improvements and enhancements that improve overall stability and compatibility with Yosemite and third-party applications like Filemaker. Visit Ergonis Software's website to learn more about the changes in this release and to download a trial copy.

PopChar solves a problem faced by every technologist and multi-lingual worker. Inserting special characters into application documents can be frustrating and results in a steady loss of productivity. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document right away. Starting with PopChar 7, you can even find special characters by simply drawing them.

System Requirements:
PopChar X 7 requires Mac OS X 10.6 or newer and is fully compatible with OS X Yosemite (10.10).

Availability and Ordering:
PopChar X can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website. The upgrade to PopChar X 7.1 is free for anyone who owns a license for PopChar X 7 or purchased a license for PopChar X 6 on or after March 1st 2014. Upgrade paths are available for customers who purchased their license before that date. For information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers, see the company's web site. Instead of purchasing PopChar separately, customers can save money by ordering the Ergonis Productivity Bundle, which also includes the text expander Typinator and the keyboard shortcut helper KeyCue.
