Itemtopia - More than just receipts, warranties and recalls - Published on 09/21/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Itemtopia Inc. has launched their free cross-platform app Itemtopia for iOS and Android. This next-generation application instantly notifies consumers if any item they own has been recalled (all vehicles and all consumer items) and allows consumers to attach receipts, warranties, photos and notes to each item at any time during the life of the item's ownership. Itemtopia therefore becomes a consumer's life with the things they own.

Ottawa, Canada - Itemtopia Inc. is helping consumers get instant recall notifications on the things they own with a cross-platform app for iOS and Android. This simple application is designed to replace their shoebox full of receipts and warranty information and put this information at a users fingertips.

Itemtopia is free, because the company sees the larger opportunity in helping consumers get a handle on tracking things about their items. Its interface makes it easy to select a category for an item such as vehicles, appliances, electronics, collectibles, services and more. After adding an item, consumers are able to snap a photo of their receipt and instantly attach it to their item's profile. Rather than display a list of all receipts, the photos are attached to a specific item - making the information organized and easily accessible. Beyond receipts, consumers have the ability to attach their warranty information, service records or even instructional videos.

If you're at the hardware store and need to know which filter fits your fridge, Itemtopia knows the answer.

Most importantly however is recalls. This major safety issue has been front and center in the press recently, and no solution has tackled the problem of notification the same simple way as Itemtopia. Just add an item, and Itemtopia scans all of its sources, and presents notifications if it finds any matches. It's powerful, instant and could well save your life - or at the very least allow you to bring it in for service.

In one great example, a user added a new ATV by Arctic Cat, and the system was able to immediately pinpoint a gas line issue under recall, before the dealer told them to have it repaired.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 12.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Itemtopia 3.06.01 is Free (with no ads) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Social Networking category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play, as well as a web app on Itemtopia's official website.

Itemtopia 3.06.01: http://itemtopia.com
Web App: https://app.itemtopia.com
Download from iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/app/id952405279
Download from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itemtopia.app&hl=en

Media Assets: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/peyavvl457ey8ga/AAAO2hsaxj4PpwUeHA1DgfgZa?dl=0

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, Itemtopia Inc. was founded by entrepreneurs who have built and deployed Item Tracking applications for some of the world's largest corporations, including Boeing, Airbus, Canon and Toshiba. They have used this combined experience to create a company focused on creating item tracking software for consumers, in order to make people's lives easier. The company is focused on making the promises of the Internet of Things mean something to every day people. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2015 Itemtopia Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Magnetola 1.0 for iOS - Music Player App with Sound Softener - Published on 09/21/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dublin-based indie software developer, Hovik Melikyan today introduces Magnetola 1.0 for iOS devices. Stylized as a vintage compact cassette player, Magnetola is the first sensory-friendly music player that can play tracks either unaltered or, for more sensitive ears, slightly "softened." Magnetola's unique audio softener filter can smoothen the rough edges of individual instruments, as well as it can follow the overall dynamic of the song and suppress sudden big attacks.

Dublin, Ireland - Independent software developer and entrepreneur, Hovik Melikyan today is proud to announce the release of Magnetola 1.0 for iOS. Stylized as a vintage compact cassette player, Magnetola is the first sensory-friendly music player that can play tracks either unaltered or, for more sensitive ears, slightly "softened."

Magnetola's unique audio softener filter can smoothen the rough edges of individual instruments, such as the drums or electric guitars, as well as it can follow the overall dynamic of the song and suppress sudden "big" attacks (think the beginning of Pink Floyd's The Wall). The player also features sliders for adjusting highs and lows (that's shelving filters in technical language). You can either boost or cut off high and low frequencies to your liking; we call these parameters "silk" and "wool" respectively.

Children and adults on the autism spectrum and those with sensory processing issues may find Magnetola's audio filters especially useful. You will appreciate the softener if you have good headphones; in fact once you find your favorite combination of the three sliders - the softener and the shelving filters - you can get addicted to it!

Of course you can listen to your music in its original, unaltered form: when the app is started for the first time, all sliders are in their neutral positions that don't affect the audio in any way.

Magnetola plays songs from your music library and features a library browser stylized as a compact cassette collection.

Have fun with the Fast Forward/Rewind functions that work almost exactly like on the old good compact cassette players. Pressing both buttons simultaneously does something, too.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.3 or later
* 3.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Magnetola 1.0.6 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Music category. Magnetola is also available for OS X in the Mac App Store.

U2C or Your Second Chance app helps missed connections meet up online - Published on 09/21/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Miami based Armstrong Santiago announces Your Second Chance 1.0.6 for iOS, a GPS-enabled app that allows "missed connections" to locate one another and begin conversations via U2C's secure messaging system. U2C members complete a personal profile that includes at least one photo. Member profiles provide background information and relationship preferences about each user and can upload a maximum of four images. U2C has a messaging function to encourage conversation between members.

Miami, Florida - Armstrong Santiago announces the release of the app, Your Second Chance or U2C. The GPS-enabled app allows "missed connections" to locate one another and begin conversations via U2C's secure messaging system. Your Second Chance or U2C is free-of-charge and available for download in the App Store.

Miami-based businessman Armstrong Santiago worked with software developer APPrende Labs to develop the concept: "I first thought of the app when I was living and working in New York City. Every day millions of people take the subway, and everyone is rushing to get to where he or she needs to be. There were many times that I would see an attractive woman on the train but because I am shy I never started a conversation. Instead, I would watch and hope each morning that she would sit or stand next to me so that I would get another opportunity to talk to her. The idea behind Your Second Chance or U2C came from that experience."

U2C members complete a personal profile that includes at least one photo. Member profiles provide background information and relationship preferences about each user and can upload a maximum of four images. Your Second Chance or U2C allows registered users to "check-in" using the GPS function and will be able to see if other U2C members have visited the same location within a four-hour time-frame.

"The check-in feature built into Your Second Chance makes it easier for "missed connections" to find one another online," says Armstrong Santiago. "If you didn't have a chance to introduce yourself or to finish a conversation you started, you can easily review other members' check-ins at the same location and then reach out with a polite, private message via Your Second Chance or U2C."

U2C has a messaging function to encourage conversation between members to facilitate meetups without requiring the exchange of personal contact information.

Jerry Phillips, a software developer and co-founder of APPrende Labs says, "We want Your Second Chance users to feel at ease. Your Second Chance helps people that have already seen or met one another find that special person again. Personal photos and complete member profiles enhance control and privacy for all U2C members, so there's no wondering if the person in the profile photo is really who they say they are. And users can choose to accept or decline messages from other members and also block or report other members via the U2C app if needed."

Your Second Chance encourages membership from singles in the hetero and GLBT communities. The U2C app is enabled for global GPS check-ins, and Facebook logins.
