easy! A deluxe brainteaser! 1.1 - Hectic Logic Quiz Challenges Players - Published on 08/19/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer, Jan Essig today introduces easy! - a deluxe brainteaser 1.1, an important update to his fast-paced logic game for iOS devices. easy! throws rapid-fire questions at players, requiring a quick answer while also exercising the logic center of their brain. Players have three seconds to answer by swiping right for true, and left for false. Version 1.1 offers 6 new types of questions and statements, an improved kids mode, optimized gameplay, extended social media sharing, and more!

Mannheim, Germany - Jan Essig today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of easy! - a deluxe brainteaser 1.1, an important update to his fast-paced logic game developed exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. easy! throws rapid-fire logic questions at players, requiring them to answer within three seconds by swiping their finger right for true, or left for false. The game's fast pace requires players to answer quickly, while also pushing them to exercise the logic center of their brain. The update brings 6 new types of questions and statements, optimized gameplay, an improved kids mode with an extended answer time limit and its own leaderboard, and more!

The concept of easy! is easy to learn, but tough to master. Players are faced with an extremely short three second period of time to answer, as the questions fly at a fast and furious pace. Is this a country? Is this edible? Is this yellow? As well as logic questions, players are also faced with math and image-based problems. After 5 correct answers, the theme changes. Answer quickly and correctly, or it's Game Over!

What's New in Version 1.1:
* Added 6 new questions/statements. Each with 30 correct and 30 false answers
* Optimized all 1.200 answers for North American language & culture
* Extended Social Media Share Options: Share your score via Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, or Email
* Added full Russian & Turkish language support in addition to the English & German support
* Added an option to invert answer swipe direction
* Two different fonts available: Select your favorite font for the answers from the settings options
* Improved kid's mode: Thinking time can be extended by 2 seconds, children also have their own leaderboard
* Optimized gameplay + improved tap & swipe handling

"While easy! proved to be a quite popular game, we found that children sometimes needed a bit more time to answer," says developer Jan Essig. "In version 1.1, we added an improved kid's mode that extends the time for answering, making the game more enjoyable for the younger set. easy! is now a challenging, brain-teasing game for all ages, making the app more accessible for everyone. Meanwhile, adult players of easy! will still find the same familiar gameplay, with an even greater level of challenge, as they are faced with 6 new question/statement types that will frustrate them even more than before!"

Players will find that the most challenging feature of easy! is the way the game seamlessly shifts gears with every five correct answers. Users will be faced with whether a set of math questions are correct, (or incorrect, watch out for that!), and then see the quiz suddenly move right into a batch of true or false, "Does this taste sweet?" questions. Just when a contestant can get their mind around a way of logically approaching a certain group of questions, the game switches gears on them, and goes off on a completely different line of questioning.

easy!'s Game Center integration allows players to easily see how well their score compares with those of their family, friends, or even complete strangers from around the world! With the addition of a kid's leaderboard, children can see how well they compared to other competitors their own age. It's also easy to challenge others players to join in the fun, so now anyone can compete to prove once and for all who in their group thinks on the fly the fastest. Players who show long-term dedication to the game could see themselves leap to the top of the Leaderboard.

Features:
* 20 questions and statements
* 30 false answers and 30 correct answers respectively
* 3 seconds to think
* Swipe right for true, swipe left for false
* Merciless rating system
* Intuitive controls
* A Purple Monster
* Entertaining sound effects
* Colorful graphics
* Challenge friends and family
* Game Center Leaderboard
* Entertaining and challenging fun for all ages

easy! is fun for the whole family. Kid-friendly questions and answers make the game safe to play for any age group. The game's Purple Monster mascot, colorful graphics, humorous sound effects, and extended 5 second answer time limit make it a great game for younger players. Meanwhile, the tricky, continually shifting lines of questioning, along with the advanced 3 second answer time limit, make it an entertaining challenge for teenage and adult players.

easy! has proved popular with players in a number of countries, ranking several days as the number one trivia and logic game in 12 countries! Easy! spent three weeks at number one among trivia and logic games in Germany, and spent several more days in the top five overall in that country. App Store customers have also given glowing reviews to easy!, with over 100 five star ratings.

The development of easy! was a family affair. While developer Jan Essig worked on illustrations, animation, and app development, his five-year-old son created the monster sounds, his seven-year-old daughter researched the questions and answers for the quizzes, and his wife worked on graphic design for the overall app.

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

Pricing and Availability:
easy! A deluxe brainteaser! 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amounts in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available upon request.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Eightythree Technology today announces Phone Drive 6.0, a critical update to their innovative, multi-functional file management app. Featuring seamless transfer between iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Desktop devices, the newly updated Phone Drive now allows users to store files wirelessly on iOS devices and links directly with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud services as well as view or edit using convenient file viewing utilities.

London, United Kingdom - Eightythree Technology today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Phone Drive 6.0, a critical update to their innovative, multi-functional file management app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Phone Drive is a personal and secure wireless drive, allowing users to save, manage, edit and view files on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Connecting via Wi-Fi to either Mac or PC desktops allows files to be easily transferred via Finder or Windows Explorer and then viewed or edited directly on the device using a variety of included in-app utilities.

"Our simple and easy-to-use cloud management system is exclusive to Phone Drive. It's an innovative feature that sets us apart from all of the other personal utility apps on the market," said Felix Yew, Founder at Eightythree Technology. "We have seen such enormous success with this app in various countries and we are looking forward to the future as we continue to evolve our product to suit the ever-changing needs of our consumers."

Unlike the current storage facility offered by iOS, which only stores particular filetypes within individual apps, Phone Drive allows users to use their device as a virtual wireless hard drive and store almost every popular file format - from music and photographs to spreadsheets and presentations.

Built-in file viewers allow quick retrieval and editing without leaving the app, including; audio player, image viewer, voice recorder, text editor and document viewer supporting PDFs, MS Office, iWork, Text and HTML documents.

* Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIF, TIFF, ICO)
* Movies (MP4, MOV, MPV, M4V)
* iWorks (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote)
* Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
* RTF (Rich Text Format)
* RTFD (TextEdit with embedded images)
* PDF Documents
* Plain text
* Source code

When away from the desk files can be transferred directly to-and-from other mobile devices using bluetooth, whilst an in-built personal Wi-Fi hotpot allows wireless connection to any computer, even on the road. Security can be enabled using a passcode lock, whilst file transfers between mobile device and computer are also password protected.

"Phone Drive offers iOS users a wireless drive that is incredibly easy-to-use for almost infinite purposes - storing photographs, music, documents even websites." commented Felix Yew of Eightythree Technology. "Normally any unused iPhone or iPad storage space cannot be accessed directly by consumers. With Phone Drive we have designed a fully open system where users can connect to their device as a wireless drive and access files on-the-go without leaving the app as well as linking most popular cloud service Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud."

Language Support:
Phone Drive supports English, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese and Turkish Languages.

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

The new beaTunes 4.5 features an attractive new user interface fitting right in with the Yosemite and El Capitan aesthetic. Icons and controls are flat, yet stylish. OS X users feel right at home. Side and status bars are now hideable, and top-level UI selectors (Library, Inspection, ...) are located at the left edge of the application window, in order to remove visual clutter. Thanks to keyboard shortcuts for all top-level panes, navigation remains quick and easy.

Besides the obvious visual changes, tagtraum industries improved many little things with usability in mind. For example, copying a song from the Matching Songs panel to the current playlist, is now also possible via a dedicated button, instead of having to rely on drag and drop. This makes incremental playlist-building even easier.

Better Key Export:
In the audio analysis department, automatic key detection has been a beaTunes mainstay for many years. Version 4.5 adds the ability to write keys into the comment field using one of multiple built-in formats (others can be added via a plugin interface). In the key tag itself, beaTunes can now write either ID3 or Open Key data, maximizing interoperability with other apps using non-proprietary formats.
Just like key detection, ReplayGain volume normalization - the alternative to Apple's Soundcheck - has long been a valued item in the beaTunes toolbox. beaTunes 4.5 now allows choosing between album and track gain when updating iTunes' proprietary iTunNORM tag.

New Track Count Inspector:
Naturally, beaTunes' main strength, metadata correction, has also undergone some changes. Version 4.5 adds a new inspector for missing track counts. Other inspectors were updated with additional issue solutions.

Under the hood, beaTunes has always made extensive use of open source libraries. This hasn't changed. Most of these libraries were updated for beaTunes 4.5 in order to take advantage of general development progress. The main benefit: streamlined caching and thus performance improvements.

Overall, version 4.5 continues the evolution of this indispensable tool for music lovers. Clearly, it's getting more and more refined, making music analysis and library management easier than ever. beaTunes remains a must for the serious audiophile.

Feature Highlights Include:
* Musical key detection (incl. tuning)
* Automatic BPM detection (beats-per-minute)
* Automatic segmentation suitable for pop songs
* Sophisticated library inspection
* Customizable track suggestion system
