iBeacon-Enable Your Next Meeting with Bleu Meetings and a Free Beacon - Published on 08/31/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Bleu Meetings conference service uses a online service and iBeacon technology to modernize the way people receive meeting information. Attendees install a Passbook pass from the Bleu Meetings conference service on their smartphone and the pass is available on the lock screen when in range of the beacon. Meeting information on the pass can be updated at any time. A free beacon is provided when you sign up for the 30 day trial and it can be used with all of the Twocanoes Labs proximity apps.

Naperville, Illinois - Twocanoes Labs is changing how people attend meetings with its iBeacon-enabled Bleu Meetings conference service. Using an online service and their own line of iBeacon hardware called Bleu Station beacons, attendees use their smartphones for meeting check-in and information. Gone are the days when meeting attendees print out check-in information, directions, and an agenda to take to the meeting.

With Bleu Meetings, attendees tap a link to install a Passbook pass directly onto their smartphone (both iPhone and Android are supported). The attendees automatically receive updates right on the pass and are immediately notified of the changes. The Bleu Meetings conference service includes a free Bleu Station Beacon to enable the attendees' pass to appear on the lock screen when they arrive at the venue, and directs attendees to the correct meeting room. The organizer uses the Bleu Meetings conference service to update the passes already installed on attendees' smartphone, and to send notifications directly to the attendees lock screen for timely updates.

For an attendee of a meeting, getting meeting information is simple and modern. After registering for a meeting, a link in the confirmation email is received by the attendee. When the attendee taps the link from the invitation email, a meeting pass is installed from the Bleu Meetings conference service. The front of the pass contains all the critical meeting information, such as name, time, and location. The back of the pass may contain detailed information on the meeting, such as an agenda, list of speakers, or feedback links.

Once the attendee arrives the meeting and is near the beacon, the pass shows on their lock screen for easy reference and check-in via a barcode on the front of the pass (required for larger meetings). Once at the meeting, the attendees receive meeting notifications on their lock screen. The front and the back of the pass are updated with news and information throughout the day by the organizer.

For the organizer, Bleu Meetings makes it simple to keep participants up-to-date with meeting information. The organizer uses the Bleu Meetings service to create a customized pass that contains all the important information about the meeting. Each pass has a unique barcode for each attendee for quick and easy check in. The organizer updates existing passes installed on attendee phones by changing the pass information in the Bleu Meetings conference service. The changes are then automatically sent to all attendees. The organizer sends messages directly to the attendees lock screen for urgent updates.

The organizer can easily deploy Bleu Station beacons with the free Bleu Meetings iOS app (available on the App Store). The organizer plugs in the AC-powered beacon near the front of the venue, and the Bleu Meetings iOS app configures the beacon based on the meeting information in the Bleu Meetings conference service. The setup doesn't require any technical knowledge to set up the beacon, and the organizer is assured that the beacon is sending out the correct information and.

The Bleu Meetings conference service has a free 30 day trial and comes with a free beacon that uses Apple's iBeacon technology. After the first month, the service costs $4.99 per month. The free beacon also works with many of the free proximity apps from Twocanoes Labs. The Bleu Meetings conference service can be cancelled at any time. Sign-up is quick and easy at the Bleu Meetings website.

bluespots - Free: A Social Discovery App to bring people together - Published on 08/31/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

bluespots - Free is an innovative app with the express purpose of bringing people together. Sometimes, it can be frustrating if you're out at a crowded bar trying to connect with friends, or make new friends. This app is designed to bridge that divide and turn a potentially disappointing night out into a time you'll never forget. This app has a lot of potential if you're trying to connect with new people. This is a free app and it's compatible with the iPhone 4s and above.

Bangalore, India - Brainstorm ideas.life today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of bluespots 3.1, an update to their popular social networking app developed for iPhone devices. Providing real-time location updates, including distance and direction, bluespots allows users to discover their friends around them. If a user's friends are using the bluespots application they will be able to discover friends and their friends will discover them.

Connect With People at Your Favorite Hotspots:
There are so many different social interaction and communication apps it's difficult to keep track of them all. Whether you're looking for a dating app, a simple messaging app, or a full blown social meeting place there are bound to be dozens of apps available and they're generally free. That makes it hard to decide what the best ones are, and making the right choice generally comes down to a little good old fashioned trial and error. In this context bluespots - Free is a must have app.

The Essentials:
Before you can get started using this app, you'll have to enter your 10 digit phone number, which is used as a tool to connect you with other app users that are nearby. The app also uses Bluetooth technology to find people in the area so you'll need to make sure it's turned on as well, before you attempt to use the app. Once you've done both of these things, you'll be asked to allow the app to access your contacts so that it can match you with any of your contacts that already use the app. The rest is up to you. Bluespots - Free will also allow you to connect with any other users that you haven't met that are close by - as long as they've made themselves visible.

This is a very simple app to use. The main body of the app is a news feed that will show you any nearby users that have made themselves visible, as well as your existing friends that are in the area. It includes their basic information such as a snapshot, their phone number, how far they are from you, and what direction they're traveling towards. It also allows you to connect with them via text message, phone call, or WhatsApp. You can poke your nearby friends. It does work well if you're hoping to run into friends that you might not have known were at the same club - as long as they're using the app too.

If you're looking for a simple social media connection tool to help you hook up with people while you're out and about then Bluespots - Free is a must have option. This app uses Bluetooth and Geo location to discover and connect you with other users that are nearby. It doesn't require clear skies, and even works inside buildings. It doesn't require any Bluetooth pairing or configuration. Users just need to keep their device's Bluetooth and location services on. Since it is based on Low Energy, it is optimized for power consumption and will not drain the device's battery. bluespots can discover and notify users even if it is running in background.

"Ever wondered when you are in a busy place like shopping mall, market, restaurant, club, bar or a pub and wanted to know who is around or wanted to discover your friends nearby. bluespots is an answer to this," explained Dushyant Gaur, founder of Brainstorm ideas.life.

wobinich - Share Location Coordinates in a Platform Independent Message - Published on 08/31/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Simian Productions announces the immediate availability of wobinich ("whereami" in English), an iOS App that allows users to easily share their location in a platform independent message. If a recipient doesn't have a smartphone or the sender doesn't know what kind of phone the recipient has, sharing a location is difficult. Based on Apple's iOS Location Services, wobinich allows a sender to share his latitude and longitude coordinates via an SMS message with a couple of clicks.

Feldkirchen, Bayern, Germany - Simian Productions announced today the immediate availability of wobinich in the Apple App Store. Mapping software on smartphones has dramatically changed how we view our world. Finding and routing to an address is as simple as a couple of clicks. However, sharing a location with a recipient who doesn't have a smartphone is challenging. Apple Maps sends a user's location as a VCARD that contains an embedded URL that either opens Apple Maps to display the user's location or allows the recipient to save the sender's location as an Address Book contact.

In sharing a user's location, there are two scenarios where smartphone-based Apps are limited:

* The sender would like to let someone know where they are, but the recipient does not own a smartphone (or the sender does not know what kind of mobile phone the recipient has)
* The sender's current location cannot be described in terms of a normal, street address - "I am currently on the I-15 somewhere between Victorville and Barstow..."

wobinich ("whereami" in English) directly addresses these issues. Using Apple's iOS Location Services, wobinich allows the user to send his location coordinates to a recipient via a platform independent, SMS message (as long as the sender has at least a GSM connection, he can send an SMS).

If a data connection is available, the user can choose from any of the other messaging services he has configured on his iOS device: Mail, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.

The recipient is sent the sender's coordinates in four formats:
* Latititude and Longitude - for input into a GPS device
* Apple Maps URL - clicking on the link will open Apple Maps (iOS or Mac OS X)
* Google Maps URL - clicking on the link will open Google Maps (if available on the recipient's device)
* Street Address - if a data connection is available and the user's location can be deciphered

The sender can also personalize the message before sending it.

With just a couple of clicks wobinich allows the sender to share his location in a platform independent message. As long as the recipient has a GSM telephone, he can receive and then enter the sender's coordinates into a GPS device.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.4 or later

New Revolutionary Music App, TurnTable, Reinvents the Music Player - Published on 08/31/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Andrew Kaz today introduces TurnTable 1.0, his new Music Player app for iOS devices. TurnTable aims to be the new Graphical Interface for music. Scroll through a quilt of Albums, flick through full-screen Records, and scroll through charts of Artists, and their discographies. Tap an Album, and it's just like an album; the track titles "printed" right on full-screen album art. It's like an analog music collection, but made more accessible than ever, the best of both worlds.

New York, New York - Andrew Kaz, veteran in the Apple software scene, today is proud to announce the release of TurnTable 1.0 for iOS, his new app that serves to re-invent the Music Player. TurnTable is the Music Player reinvented, reimagined around the Album. Scroll through a quilt of Albums, flick through full-screen Records, and scroll through charts of Artists (and their discographies). Tap an Album, and: It's just like an album, the track titles "printed" right on full-screen album art. It's like an analog music collection, but made more accessible than ever, the best of both worlds. TurnTable aims to be the new Graphical Interface for music.

"I feel that this holds significance like the iPod. It's not a new device, but this is software that may prove as important, since it offers a human interface for music. Apple's app is sterile. TurnTable can change the way people play their music & will interact with their devices in the future to play music, daily.

"I believe that it represents where music software will move."

"Especially now with Apple Music, the music experience is going to be a lot more important. Apple adopted my other app, Classics/iBooks, I wouldn't be surprised if they 'took note' of this, with their new venture into music."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 0.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TurnTable (v1.0) is offered at the special introductory price of $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category. Please visit the TurnTable website to see the graphical user interface in action. If you are interested in a copy of the app for evaluation or review purposes, please reply to this from your work email, and by all means, let us know if you write about our stuff.

Andrew Kaz is a longtime independent developer, having been on the Apple platform for over a decade, passionate about human interface before the iPhone was introduced. He played a role in bestselling, award-winning Mac app Delicious Library in 2003, at the age of 13. Before that, he was selling software from a young age. At the age of only 13, a sole programmed effort sold 50/copies per day and made $5,000 in the first month - long before the App Store existed, and before Apple dominated the market, when their market share was dead. In 2008, at the age of 18, he released Classics with partner Phill Ryu. Classics rose to top of the iPhone charts, was featured in Apple's TV ad, and in 2009 adopted in the form of their new core app, iBooks, like Classics.

Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King 1.1.0 is Out - Published on 09/01/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Haypi Co., Ltd today announces Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King 1.1.0, an update to their popular war strategy MMO for iOS devices. Set in the Middle Age, things are so restless in this kingdom of magic and darkness. Save your people from suffering and chaos; construct a new superpower from the ruins; expand your realm and protect it from invaders. Version 1.1.0, comes with newly added contents, adjustments and smart optimizations.

Shanghai, China - Haypi Co., Ltd. today is thrilled to announce the release of Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King 1.1.0, a major update of their latest hit for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. The new patch version is 1.1.0, and it comes with newly added contents, adjustments and smart optimizations. The creative developer Haypi very often releases updates, but this big update does make a difference, and really pleases the fans.

In Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King 1.1.0, the loyal users feel happy with the big changes. Haypi now takes great care of the old players. In their honor, the buildings in the home city can be upgraded up to Lv.25. Many sciences in the College can also be developed to Lv.25, which gives significant advantage for the biggest fans. The choice of Sciences in the College has been enriched with new Sciences, including Defense facilities and Healing. Another leap forward is the great new graphics of the World Map. They really look like real, and take players to the magic Haypi world, with a bit of Middle Age flavor.

Haypi has also done a lot of feature adjustments. The new version allows for a better organized way of city defense. Directly through the Defense option, players can choose not to attack when plundered. These common tactics replace the separate plunder defense and attack defense settings. In addition, Marching Speed-up is modified to reflect a decrease in the percentage of marching time, instead of reflecting a number of minutes. Generally, there is a better coordination of Marching speed.

In Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King 1.1.0, there is also a better coordination of functions. For example, during war, no armies can leave the city, etc. Now the estimations in battles are done better, so that the attacker will loose less troops, while the defender will suffer bigger losses of soldiers. To ensure better fairplay, the Sorcerers' damage to Royal Knights and Hoplites are weakened, so these type of soldiers can improve their significance in the game. After the enemy's city has been captured, the enemy soldiers can be massacred. The loyalty of the city determines the army counts.

In order to prevent such massacres, the enemy can use the newly added Royal Spot function. Players now can dispatch their soldiers to a special spot, where they can escape from massacres. Resurrection rate and attack difficulty in royal spot is decreased. The Resurrection function of the plundered towns has also been optimized. The developer Haypi has further improved the fairness of the game. To begin with, for a fun gameplay, now it is also possible to protect some resources. The Resource Lock Function is added. (Through this function, some of the defender's resources will be locked when the attacker's troops are no less than 1/5 of his and also the marching time is less than 30 minutes.) Besides, defense minister can contribute and boost the city defense.

Haypi really loves their fans. Players are happy, and Haypi is glad to share the joy from the new big update of Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King. The Haypi Community is together again, united through this amazing game. It is actually the new brother game of Haypi's signature game Haypi Kingdom. Anyone who liked Haypi Kingdom, will just love Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King 1.1.0 ! This fascinating iOS MMO is available for free download from the App Store.
