IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SlothMedia, LLC today announces KosmicMath 2.1.1, an update to their very popular educational app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. KosmicMath is a space exploration game that uses NASA imagery, themed animations and sound affects creating an immersive educational experience. Two modes of play, Mission and Drill, encourage children to master their math tables and chart their progress. At the heart of KosmicMath is a proprietary problem generation algorithm which mimics human instruction.

Redmond, Washington - Our AppVentures Super Mom Kathy introduces us to an out of the world iPhone/iPad Math system, KosmicMath. KosmicMath was first introduced in 2009. Six years later it rocks the Solar System with a new update. KosmicMath has been used by parents looking to give their child a boost in math table practice while relieving the tedium from repetitive problems. Put the repetitive nature to math facts to work in your child's life and it will reward you with peace of mind that no matter how crazy education becomes - your child will have a solid foundation of math facts to carry them forward.

KosmicMath is a 5 player, mathematical drill instruction application built to support and reinforce mathematical tables and educational scope & sequence requirements covering preschool through 4th grade on the iPad. (see KosmicMath Family for iPhone/iPod-touch version).

KosmicMath is a space exploration game that uses NASA imagery, themed animations and sound affects creating an immersive educational experience. Two modes of play, Mission and Drill, encourage children to master their math tables and chart their progress.

In mission mode, players are urged to demonstrate mastery over basic mathematical operations as they travel through the solar system collecting alien trophies and visiting NASA web sites. In Drill mode, players are given a pop quiz which is individually scored, emailed and archived along with the problem set, player answers and statistics about the players responses. Data from mission mode and drill mode is saved for each player, synchronized to other iPhone, iPOD-Touch or iPAD devices and archived into the KosmicMath web portal for parent and teacher analysis of player performance.

At the heart of KosmicMath is a proprietary problem generation algorithm which mimics human instruction, by generating problems that are always appropriate to the player's grade and experience level. KosmicMath's problem generation algorithm tracks all student success and failures - constantly adjusting to each players' unique learning requirements. The KosmicMath problem generation engine automatically adjusts the player's difficulty and settings as they progress through 25 increasing levels of challenge.

Children are promoted when scoring 80% or higher across all required operands for their grade level. Promotion increases the problem number size and problem difficulty by reducing the amount of time allowed for answering the problem. In addition, the number of correct problems is increased as the student shows proficiency in the lower number sets; thus continually challenging the student towards demonstrated mastery of their elementary math tables. KosmicMath supports 5 promotion levels: Cadet, Navigator, Co-Pilot, Commander and Admiral.

KosmicMath Features:
* Family edition: 5 players and all 5 grade levels (preK through 4th grade)
* Two modes of operation: Mission & Drill
* Multi-level reward system encourages continued play
* Problems generated follow the Scope and Sequence operation and number sets approximating the school year
* Problem generation algorithm will not generate problems outside of a students current grade and experience level
* Problem generation algorithm self monitors student performance and adjusts difficulty striving for mastery
* Detailed and summary performance tracking by player
* Email notifications of progress and rewards
* Email notification of completed drills with problems and player answers
* Player roaming capability - allows players to pickup any licensed KosmicMath device and continue their play where the last left off

KosmicMath monitors player response gathering and reporting each player's performance indicators including: mission scores and drill / test results. Player performance data is individually maintained for up to 5 players. The KosmicMath web portal provides a unified student dashboard which displays Mission and Drill progress over time and for each player. Performance graphs show children's mathematical proficiency by operand and within their learning requirements for each grade level.

Android vs iOS - for indie developers there's no contest - Published on 09/07/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fledgling UK game developer Zero Ideas has identified iTunes as the only marketplace where a new independent producer can realistically make its mark. iTunes - the less crowded marketplace with the more stringent review process, allows a developer with a high quality, unique offering to stand out. The company recently released Clever Clocks 1.0.2, a puzzle game where each level is composed of buttons and clocks; each button turns a combination of the Clocks.

Hove, United Kingdom - Fledgling UK game developer, Zero Ideas has identified iTunes as the only marketplace where a new independent producer can realistically make its mark. iTunes - the less crowded marketplace with the more stringent review process - allows a developer with a high quality, unique offering to stand out.

Zero Ideas has experienced first-hand the main benefit to a small developer of prioritizing Apple users: "Apple places challenging requirements on a developer, with high standards of quality control," explains CTO Luke Jobling. "It means there's a tendency for people offering a less creative idea - or a game that's not perfectly integrated - to choose other channels."

For its first release, Clever Clocks, independent developer Zero Ideas has produced a distinctive puzzle game of neon buttons and dials, covering an ample 3,600 levels. In a game that genuinely aims to offer something new and different from other puzzle apps, the goal is to align the dials (or 'clever clocks') via judicious clicking of buttons to turn the clocks in various directions.

Zero Ideas' Visual Experience Lead David Watson explains the dilemma facing producers of original content who can be drowned out by competitor noise on Google Play: "Once users have seen our game, they can easily identify that there's a new idea behind it. The problem for guys like us is that on Play Store there's a significant amount of content that appears similar, all vying for the user's attention. Until players have waded through the various games it's hard for them to tell that most of them are basically the same, and not necessarily anything new or unique."

In contrast, the user-friendly App Store makes it easy for players to locate quality games. Apps are ranked using a complex algorithm based around downloads and Apple's review system can influences users to download apps with great ratings and reviews.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1.1 or later
* 29.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Clever Clocks 1.0.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Tune Sweeper 4 Now Identifies Apple Music Tracks in iTunes - Published on 09/07/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wide Angle Software today announces Tune Sweeper 4, an important update to their iTunes clean-up utility for Mac OS X. Tune Sweeper helps keep iTunes music libraries clean and organized. The app not only keeps iTunes libraries duplicate free and free from missing files, but also fixes missing artwork and track information too. Version 4 now identifies tracks from Apple Music, making it easy to see which songs will vanish from iTunes if users cancel their Apple Music subscription.

Stafford, United Kingdom - Wide Angle Software Ltd, a company known for creation of the popular iTunes clean-up software, Tune Sweeper 4, announces an outstanding new software feature. Tune Sweeper 4 now identifies tracks from Apple Music, making it easy to see which songs will vanish from iTunes if users cancel their Apple Music subscription.

The newly improved Tune Sweeper 4 has some unique features that makes it useful to music lovers worldwide. The previous versions of Tune Sweeper 4 enabled users to remove duplicate and missing tracks from iTunes, download missing artwork and fix incorrect track Information, as well as add music to iTunes and view iTunes usage statistics.

Most recently however, developers at Wide Angle Software noticed that if music is added to iTunes using the Apple Music streaming service, the Apple Music tracks are seamlessly merged with the rest of users' iTunes library. As the Apple Music tracks appear as part of users' regular music collection, it can be difficult to identify these from the rest of their purchased music. Users whose free 3-month Apple Music trials are due to expire soon, and those who are considering canceling their subscription, especially those with large music libraries, may be wondering which tracks in their collection were added by Apple Music.

Adding to it's rich feature set, Tune Sweeper 4 now enables users to identify Apple Music tracks in iTunes, so they can quickly determine what music would vanish were they to cancel their subscription to Apple Music. Tune Sweeper 4 can also help users make an informed choice as to whether to subscribe to Apple Music at the end of the free 3-month trial. Tune Sweeper runs on a Mac or PC and will display a complete list of tracks and albums that were added by the Apple Music streaming service. Using Tune Sweeper, users can even visit the albums store page in iTunes quickly by selecting the albums shown in Tune Sweeper, enabling users to purchase individual tracks or albums, rather than opting for a monthly Apple Music subscription.

Tune Sweeper free trial also enables users to view duplicate and missing tracks in iTunes as well as view their iTunes usage statistics. A full version of the software is required to remove duplicate and missing tracks from iTunes as well as fix incorrect song data and missing album art. The program is available in English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese languages. It is updated regularly to enhance the feature set and the product updates as well as friendly customer support are provided free of charge.
