5-Star Reviewed Text and Video Messaging App: BlueChatBox Now Updated - Published on 09/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer, Tony Jiang announces BlueChatBox for iOS and Android, a no-cost messaging app that lets users engage in text or video chats with up to four friends, or with any other member(s) of the BlueChatBox community. The app features guest access, anonymous posting, optional location sharing, multiple backgrounds and emoticons, passcode protection, a temporary friend classification, and more. Users can even communicate across language barriers, even if they don't speak the same language.

Cupertino, California - BlueChatBox, the unique no-cost messaging app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices that earned a perfect 5-star review from The iPhone App Review, has been updated with a wide range of enhanced features, including multiple new background choices, guest accounts, anonymous posting, improved video, and optional location sharing.

Published in late 2014, BlueChatBox enables users to engage in text or video chats with up to four friends, or with any other member(s) of the BlueChatBox community who is in a chatty mood - whether they're located nearby or on the other side of the world. And since the app is available at no cost, users who take the text chat route don't have to worry about getting dinged to death by dreaded SMS fees.

In addition, BlueChatBox integrates with Google Translate's API so that users can communicate across language barriers and make new friends - even if they don't speak the same language. And as noted above, this cross-border communication takes place without incurring any costs.

Users can also check out public chats - there are usually dozens or hundreds running 24/7 - to engage in interesting conversation, fun exchanges, or passionate (but civilized) debate. Users can also use the handy Globe View to find group chats in specific locations around the world, or see which ones are generating the most approval via a public chat rating system. Groups can involve a handful of users, to well over 50.

Also of note is the app's unique distinction between "Friends" and "Temporary Friends". When chatting with the latter, users can avoid revealing certain private data, such as their phone number. The app will also automatically unfriend them from a Temporary Friend if there's a significant lapse of time without active messages. Other key features, including new enhancements in the latest version, include:

* Full guest access and the option to post anonymously
* Optional location sharing
* A simple and streamlined interface
* An array of chat backgrounds, including customizable options
* Plenty of emoticons to decorate any message and make it more personal and interesting
* Several customizable status icons that let users express their mood
* Passcode locking to prevent unauthorized access
* Male and female avatars for public chats
* World feeds that let users share their favorite pictures across the globe

"BlueChatBox is unlike any other messaging app, and since releasing it we've had overwhelmingly positive feedback from both users and independent reviewers," commented Tony Jiang, the app's inventor and chief developer. "And now in the latest version, we've made it even more fun and exciting to connect with old friends, and make new ones - and all without paying a cent!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7 or later
* 30.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BlueChatBox (v51) is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Social Networking category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

ArtistInfo Goes Mobile with iOS Release - Published on 09/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Metason launches the first release of ArtistInfo for iOS along with an update of ArtistInfo for Mac, the popular artist browser and music discovery application. ArtistInfo provides album credits for music played in iTunes, Apple Music, as well as Spotify by presenting musicians, band members, biographies, played music instruments, discographies, composers, producers, and performed musical genres. My Favorites' can be synchronized via iCloud and shared with friends via Social Media or AirDrop.

Zurich, Switzerland - Metason today is proud to announce the first release of ArtistInfo for iOS, a port of their popular album credits, artist browser and music discovery application for Mac OS X immediately available on the App Store for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

ArtistInfo delivers album credits by presenting a concise overview of artists involved in musical releases. Band members, musicians' biographies, played music instruments, discographies, composers, producers, and performed musical genres are displayed in detail. ArtistInfo provides album credits for music played in iTunes, Apple Music, as well as Spotify. By enhancing the listening experience with contextual complements on musicians and bands, ArtistInfo favorably celebrates the role of the artists.

Features of the new releases of ArtistInfo for Mac and iOS include:
* Album credits about musicians, composers, and producers
* Portrait photo, biography, discography, and band relations of artists
* In sync with iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify
* Playback of discovered music via iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Rdio, and Youtube
* Management of favorite artists and albums among OS X and iOS devices via iCloud
* Sharing of links to artists and albums with friends via email, social media, and AirDrop

"ArtistInfo is motivated personally," explained Philipp Ackermann, developer of the ArtistInfo App. "While enjoying my digital music collection at home and mobile on the go I always missed the information about performing musicians, played music instruments, band membership, and all the rich context information about artists involved in the albums I love listening. Todays digital tools for managing and streaming music are mainly song-oriented by favoring tracks and playlists. But discovering music through musicians, band members, artist networks, and album credits is still my preferred way to dive into the musical world."

ArtistInfo uses Web Services and data sources such as Wikipedia, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Metason, and iTunes Store to mash-up relevant information on musicians, composers, producers, albums, instruments, and musical genres. Within ArtistInfo most liked artists and albums may be managed in a 'My Favorites' list - independent of having tracks locally in the iTunes music collection. 'My Favorites' lists are synchronized among all personal iOS and OS X devices via iCloud. Users can share their favorites with friends via email, social media, and AirDrop. Such personal tipps are sent as rich messages with portrait or cover image, detailed text, and a direct link to load the recommendation within the receiver's ArtistInfo App. Playback of discovered artists, albums and songs is achieved by a simple click. Music playback is first looking for corresponding songs in the local iTunes collection. When not found ArtistInfo will check the availability of songs in Apple Music or Spotify. If still no
song is found ArtistInfo is searching on Youtube.

Pricing and Availability:
ArtistInfo for iOS will run on iOS 8 and later. It is available for free world-wide on the App Store in the category Music. ArtistInfo can be upgraded from the free to the unlimited version as an in-app purchase priced at 1.99 USD/1.99 EUR/2.00 CHF (or equivalent amount in other currencies).

ArtistInfo 1.3 for Mac will run on OS X 10.9 and later. It is available for purchase world-wide on Apple's Mac App Store in the category Music at appstore.com/mac/artistinfo. ArtistInfo is priced at 5.99 USD/5.99 EUR/6.00 CHF (or equivalent amount in other currencies).

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TheKeptPromise is pleased to announce the release of Create Booklet 1.2, an update to its popular booklet printing app for Mac OS X. Create Booklet allows anyone to create a booklet from almost any file from within almost any software. Thanks to the manual duplex feature, the user saves money, time and paper when printing many pages. MacUpdate's most downloaded booklet app adds requested features like Page Numbering and Creep Compensation, as well as an improved layout and help.

Ratingen, Germany - TheKeptPromise is pleased to announce the release of Create Booklet 1.2 for Mac OS X, an update to its app and PDF service.

New in 1.2:
* Straight Order
* Page Numbering
* Creep Compensation
* Auto help when you need it

When version 1.1 came to the App Store, it was the first app to allow printing duplex booklets on any printer, using the manual duplex method. After the release, TheKeptPromise listened very carefully to their user's requests. As a result, Create Booklet 1.2 added numerous small improvements as well as features like Page Numbering, Creep Compensation as well as an improved layout and an extended help section.

Thanks to the new help section, tips show up automatically at the very points the user needs it.

Create Booklet is ready for Mac OS X El Capitan.

Features:

* Create a booklet from any app: Open Create Booklet directly from the print panel
* Direct PDF editing: Add Empty pages, add images, add complete PDFs, reorder pages, remove unneeded pages
* Page Numbering
* Creep Compensation
* Auto help when you need it
* Save a booklet to a new PDF
* Select output print format and orientation
* Layout your PDF to the final output size using zoom and position setting
* Reverse booklet page order (allows right to left documents usage!)
* Split thick booklets into multiple thin ones
* Easily staple booklets: Create Booklet adds staple marks on the first and last page

Why did we develop Create Booklet? "When you have to print a lot of pages, a booklet is much more fun to hold and read. So we decided to create a tool that elegantly integrates with whatever the users intend to print, thereby saving them time, money and paper. Any booklet is just a click away with Create Booklet. It's really that easy", says Christoph Vogelbusch, CEO of TheKeptPromise.
