IMMEDIATE RELEASE

nag! 1.0.1 by GroupCal, LLC lets anyone easily and enjoyably send themselves, individuals or groups a text reminder at anytime, and with any repeat interval. What truly makes nag! a must-have app is that it delivers reminder notifications via in-app notification, or SMS for those without the app. nag! also offers an archive feature. This no-cost app features in-app and SMS notifications, as well as the ability to check whether a reminder was read/deleted.

Cupertino, California - People who want to send timely reminders about absolutely anything to friends, family, colleagues, classmates, or anyone else in their Facebook and phone number contact social network - or who want to be on the receiving end of helpful reminders - can now head to the App Store, and download the world's easiest, fastest and most social reminder app: nag!

Developed by GroupCal, LLC and available at no-cost, nag! lets anyone send individuals or groups (which the app calls "mobs") a text reminder at anytime, and with any repeat interval, such as once a day, every 6 hours, every hour, and even every 2nd Sunday of the month at 4 pm. The user can also edit the message, time, and repeat interval if needed for both self and outside reminders.

What truly makes nag! a must-have app is that it delivers reminder notifications via in-app notification (for those with the app) or SMS (for those without the app). What's more, users who send a reminder can check the status to see if it has been read or deleted by its recipient. Nag also offers an archive feature which lets users keep the most important messages on intervals and in storage while clearing the inbox.

However, because reminders are sent and received in real-time, nag! also functions as a personal social network messaging platform that can be used to plan events, send jokes, comment on sporting events, or have any other kind of text discussion anytime, anywhere with a single friend or a mob of thousands.

Furthermore, nag! Is now available as one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly watch apps available on the new Apple Watch App Store.

New No-Cost Word Game WordGenius! hailed as the Ultimate Brain Teaser - Published on 10/05/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WordGenius! 1.04 by JN Interactive AB is a simple to understand, extremely addictive, and wonderfully fun word game that is astonishingly tough to master. Users are presented with various, randomly-arranged letters that they must swipe in order to spell a set number of words. There are seven levels arranged by degree-of-difficulty, and each awards successful users with a haul of Genius Points. A key feature that makes WordGenius! unique is that there is only one way to solve each puzzle.

Cupertino, California - Boggle and other word game lovers who are looking for their next big challenge, can now head to the App Store or Google Play and download the new no-cost app WordGenius!, which some early reviewers are hailing as the "ultimate brain teaser." Created by JN Interactive AB and available at no-cost, WordGenius! is simple to understand, extremely addictive, wonderfully fun - and astonishingly tough to master. In fact, only a few users so far have managed to finish the entire game.

As noted, WordGenius! is refreshingly simple to understand, which means that users will be playing and having fun instantly vs. spending hours trying to figure out how to get started. Here's how it's played:

Users are presented with various, randomly-arranged letters that they must swipe in order to spell a set number of words. There are seven levels arranged by degree-of-difficulty, and each awards successful users with a haul of "Genius Points":

* Turtle: (2x2 grid = 4 letters; 10 Genius Points)
* Rabbit (3x3 grid = 9 letters; 30 Genius Points)
* Cat (4x4 = 16 letters; 50 Genius Points)
* Parrot (4x4 = 16 letters; 70 Genius Points)
* Dog (4x4 = 16 letters; 90 Genius Points)
* Panda (5x5 = 25 letters; 120 Genius Points)
* Camel (5x5 grid = 25 letters; 140 Genius Points)

As would be expected, Turtle is quite easy, and more of a way to get users familiar with the gameplay. The middle levels are suitably tough, but not impossible. The upper levels, however, are mind-bendingly difficult - and as noted, very few users have made it all the way to Camel and finished the game.

What's more, a key feature that makes WordGenius! unique from other word games is that there is only one way to solve each puzzle. For example, if a user must find three words to complete a level, there is only one possible solution (i.e. only one way to use the letters correctly to spell all three words). However, there are multiple ways to spell one word or two words. As a result of this brilliant twist, users must always "think ahead" - because the letters they're using to spell word #1 might actually be needed to spell word #2 or #3.

If they can't spell all of the required words with the remaining letters, users will have to start over. Or if they wish, they can activate a hint and keep playing - provided that they have hints remaining.

"People around the world have fallen in love with WordGenius!", commented Jean Can of JN Interactive AB. "It provides endless hours of fun, and there's always a challenging puzzle ahead!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 11.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
WordGenius! 1.04, the simple and highly addictive new word game, is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.
