Perg, Austria - Ergonis Software today is proud to announce the release of Typinator 6.7, a new version of their popular text expander. The new version focuses on scripting - it makes Typinator itself scriptable plus adds new options for using scripts in expansions.

Beyond these languages, Typinator also supports all scripting languages that you can use for shell scripts (such as Bash, Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby).

Using scripts does not require any programming knowledge. Just select an item from the Scripts submenu to insert a script marker in an expansion. You can download some useful predefined scripts from our Download Extras web page, and programmers can easily extend the scripting repertoire of Typinator with even more features like stock quotes, calendar functions, time zone calculations, clipboard manipulation, URL processing, dynamic signatures, context-sensitive code fragments. The possible uses are virtually unlimited.

Typinator is a powerful, yet elegantly simple solution that boosts your productivity by automating the process of inserting frequently used text and auto-correcting typing errors. Across all applications, it detects specific sequences of typed characters and automatically replaces them with text snippets, graphics, URLs, dates and special characters.

To celebrate the new mission system and the new content of the game, vidiludi also reduced the price drastically, while the game is in Steam's Early Access state.

Immune is a cartoon survival online game for PC and Mac with humorous and satiric references currently in Early Access on Steam. The game is developed and published by the indie game developer vidiludi games & entertainment, who aims to make Immune a combination of retro top-down MMORPGs like Tibia(TM) and modern survival games like DayZ(TM) or Rust(TM). Immune takes place in a dangerous environment following an outbreak of a devastating pandemic leaving only a handful of survivors.

Offering PVP and PVE, players must scavenge, hunt or grow their own foods, while avoiding or fighting off the dangerous mutants and gasmask wearing NPCs, doing everything they can to avoid the infection by shooting everyone sick or immune in the face. Discover, build, or occupy shelters and houses and craft tools, harvest resources and collect ammunition and weapons required to survive the onslaught of enemies.

uBar 3.0 for Mac OS X - The Custom Dock Replacement for the Mac - Published on 10/06/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brawer Software today announces the release of uBar 3.0, an important update to their popular app and window manager for Mac OS X. The app allows users to quickly launch and manage their apps, all via a convenient visual interface. Users can create powerful shortcuts, and quickly open files with a simple drag-and-drop of a file or folder onto the bar. Version 3.0 brings the ability to position uBar on any side of the screen, offers custom dial timepieces, and visual window previews.

Toronto, Canada - Brawer Software today is proud to announce the release of uBar 3.0, an important update to their popular app and window manager for Mac OS X. uBar allows users to position it whichever side of the screen they desire, quickly launch apps, view window previews, view custom clocks, view calendars at a glance, add powerful shortcuts, drag and drop folders onto apps, quickly quit apps, and more. Users can boost their productivity with uBar, by customizing the app to fit their workflow.

uBar is a Dock replacement that can be placed on any side of the desktop, even the top or bottom. Users can quickly load apps, or easily see which apps are running. Switch to an active app or quickly close an app, with just a click, with no need to search for it on the desktop or in the default OS X Dock. Users can also add apps to the Favorites section on uBar, allowing them to quickly launch their most used apps or files.

"The Dock was great when it was released in 2001. But, today you need more power and greater functionality," says Edward Brawer, President of Brawer Software. "uBar can be configured as a convenient dock or task bar for OS X, and its customization features allow anyone the flexibility to use uBar in the way that best fits the way they work."

Features:
* All Positions (New) - Users can position uBar on any side of the screen: bottom, left, right, or top
* Window Previews (New) - See a visual preview of the windows within by just hovering the mouse over an app
* Timepieces (New) - Built-in or custom dial timepieces can now display above the calendar when hovering over the clock area
* Activity Mode - Hold a custom modifier key to see CPU and Memory usage for Apps
* Multi-monitor Support - Users with multiple monitors can set uBar to display on the screen of their choice
* App Badges - uBar displays red App badges that you can read
* Easily Spot Unresponsive Apps - Unresponsive Apps display a hatched red background
* Drag-and-Drop - Simply Drag-and-drop folders and files onto Apps to quickly launch them
* uBar Menu - List Applications, System Preferences, and custom Apps and Folders
* Favorites Area - Users can add their favorite apps, folders, and files to the Favorites area
* Clock Area - The clock area displays the day, date, and time
* Hover Calendar - Hover over the clock area to display the Calendar
* Expandable Rows - Drag the edge to expand uBar up to five rows in height
* Themes - Themes display as System (i.e. Automatic), Light, Dark, Platinum Neue, Now Playing, or Custom
* Sizes - Set the size of the uBar Dock to Automatic, Small, Medium, Large, or Huge
* Pinning - Pin or unpin uBar to any corner of the screen
* Application Order - Show Applications by Launch, Alphabetical, or Manual Order. They can be excluded as well
* Window Grouping - Set window grouping to Always, Never, or Automatic

uBar offers more features than ever before. Version 3.0 adds the ability to place uBar on any side of the screen, just like the stock OS X Dock. However, uBar one-ups the standard Dock by allowing itself to be placed at the top of the screen. uBar also offers a beautiful timepiece for display above the built-in calendar, as well as offering powerful Shift-Click Shortcuts for closing windows and apps.

The app allows anyone to quickly find the window they're looking for with the new Windows Previews feature. If an active application has more than one window, users will see an indicator in the upper right-hand corner of the icon in the uBar Dock. The windows can then easily be viewed by clicking the application to open the window menu, or simply hovering the mouse pointer over the icon to view the windows. (If enabled). By holding a hotkey on the keyboard while hovering the mouse pointer, users can easily view an app's CPU utilization and its memory usage.

uBar's size can be easily adjusted, offering up to 5 rows to display apps and folders. This makes uBar easy to use, no matter what how many apps are being used. Applications show as easy-to-read badges, as the active app is highlighted, while hidden apps show as grayed-out. A quick Control/Right-Click of the mouse or trackpad, and and an alternate menu pops into view, from which users can use to quickly quit or hide the app, or even add the app to their Favorites area. The Favorites area provides a handy location to place any most-used applications for quick access. The built-in Desktop and Trash icons make controlling the Desktop a breeze.

uBar has found acceptance in the world of enterprise, with people at a number of companies using it daily on their Macs. These companies include: Apple, Google, Facebook, HP, Salesforce, Sequoia, Tumblr, Volvo, Yelp, and many more.

"uBar is first and foremost an OS X App, which means that every detail is thoughtfully executed and beautifully rendered," continues Brawer. "While uBar is compatible with OS X 10.9 Mavericks and OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it is also completely ready for the latest version of OS X, 10.11 El Capitan."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.9 Mavericks or higher
* 64-Bit Processor
* 8.7MB

Pricing and Availability:
uBar 3.0 is only $20 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the Brawer Software website. Current uBar 2 users can purchase version 3.0 for $10 USD. Volume licensing information and review copies are available upon request.

Guess & Spell Halloween 1.0.1 - Holiday-Themed Spelling Game for Kids - Published on 10/06/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Whopping Apps today announces Guess & Spell Halloween 1.0.1, an important update to their simple and entertaining Halloween-themed spelling app for the iPad. The game teaches children how to spell by asking them to reveal an image, and then to spell the word the image clue represents by entering it on-screen. The game offers a timely Halloween theme, making learning fun. The game offers 60 different images and words to guess. Version 1.0.1 streamlines the app icons and contains small bug fixes.

Kirkkonummi, Finland - Whopping Apps today is proud to announce the release of Guess & Spell Halloween 1.0.1 for the iPad, an important update to their simple and entertaining spelling app for kids that sports a spooky Halloween theme! The game helps children to learn how to spell words by asking them to guess the displayed image and then spell it out on-screen using the supplied letter blocks. Halloween is all about parties and fun, and Guess & Spell Halloween continues that theme, but with a strong educational twist.

Guess & Spell Halloween offers 60 different images and words for kids to guess, and the gameplay can be set to various lengths. Once an image is displayed, players try to spell the answer to the image clue by tapping on the correct letters. Once the word has been correctly entered, the game continues with the next image clue. If the word is entered incorrectly, the child is prompted to try again. The game ends when all of the images have been guessed. The game doesn't keep score; it simply concentrates on providing a fun learning environment for children.

"With the Guess & Spell series of apps, we aim to make learning fun for children," says Mikko Toykkala, owner of Whopping Apps. "By including colorful graphics, fun sound effects, and gentle spoken prompts, Guess & Spell Halloween puts the emphasis on learning, not on keeping score. It turns the iPad into an entertaining learning experience, with a timely Halloween theme, that kids will love!"

The game has 60 different images and words to guess. You can set the game length in the settings. All these settings are behind a hidden parental gate, and you even disable the teacher's/parent's menu from the device settings. You can also switch the sound effects on or off, (spoken hints are still heard), but also mute the whole device if you want to keep the gameplay completely silent. The teacher's menu includes a three-minute instructional video and written instructions for adjusting the settings.

The app's outstanding feature is its scalable and adjustable hint system. Parents can tweak the settings to suit their child's age and capabilities. This makes the app perfect for pre-Kindergarten kids with practically no reading skills, all the way up to 2nd graders with full reading and spelling abilities.

Guess & Spell's Hint Game System Works Like This:
* The speech synth speaks the secret word
* Players can "bomb away" some of the extra letters
* Place a correct letter. The hint places a letter in its correct space

The game can be configured as to the amount of hint letters, so it can be set that it always gives two letters - no matter how long the word is - but also so that at least one letter will be left empty, no matter how short or long the secret word is. Hints can also be set to appear dynamically, when the child guesses wrong.

The game's settings are hidden in the iPad's Settings menu, so adults can adjust the difficulty of the game according to their child's capabilities. Here, adults can adjust the gameplay length, the language, rate, and pitch of the speech in the game, and also adjust the hint mode by setting the maximum number of letter hints, speech hints, and more. The teacher's menu button can also be turned on or off.

Spoken hints can also be set to become available after the first wrong guess. If the player hears the word, but is still guessing wrong, bomb away letter hints will appear. If the guess is wrong again, then the place letters hint will appear. The settings can be individually disabled or enabled, to set the challenge to whatever level is preferred. The speech synthesizer settings are also customizable, and can be set to various English accents, including US, UK, AU, IE, and ZA accents.

Guess & Spell Halloween is just the first app in the Guess & Spell app series. Whopping Apps is working on Guess & Spell Animals, which will include over 150 images and words about animals. More apps are on the way. Version 1.0.1 streamlines the app icons and contains small bug fixes.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 63.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Guess & Spell Halloween 1.0.1 is only $1.99 USD (or equivalent amounts in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Review copies are available upon request. A free version of the app - Guess & Spell Halloween LITE - is also available in the App Store.

Now Available - Salt & Pepper 2: A Surreal Salty Physics Game - Published on 10/06/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dallas based Appdore today introduces Salt & Pepper 2: A Surreal Salty Physics Game 1.0, their new physics-based game for iOS devices. Enjoy dozens of beautiful single and multistage puzzles. The concept is simple; draw paths to lead the spices to their bowls. This sequel is a crazy and challenging physics game that will be enjoyed. The game features Game Center leaderboard and achievements, and is now available for free, with limited ads when a level is failed.

Richardson, Texas - Appdore today is proud to announce the immediate release of Salt & Pepper 2: A Surreal Salty Physics Game, their simply beautiful physics game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Salt & Pepper 2 features over 100 multistage levels. The levels in part 2 have a similar vibe as Salt & Pepper 1, each featuring a unique layout with multiple goals. In order to complete the level, freely draw paths that will lead the spices to their bowls while staying within the drawing level of that level.

There are more simple asymmetrical layouts this time around that may cause some anger, however since this free version doesn't have any freemium penalties and play timers, you will be free to retry as many times as necessary to complete a level. Just like Salt & Pepper 1, the salt will go into the white bowl and the pepper will go into the black bowl, simple and gradually challenging! To keep the pace faster, each bowl only needs about 10 grains of their respective spice to fill a bowl. There are still no specific paths for these levels as it doesn't involve a grid system. Your solution may or may not work for other players. The progression this time around is to be more of a fair challenge, new obstacles and annoyances will appear, however each stage is passable within 75 seconds.

Salt & Pepper 2: A Surreal Salty Physics Game features an optional donation/level pack called "Salt Divided!" that focuses on salt. This level pack offers 40 multistages within 25 levels that offers more challenging gameplay that removes pepper and has salt doing everything such as being converted into all the other spices. This simple change creates more strategic planning to complete each level. And as a bonus for players, the 1.1 update will include 25 more levels featuring new spices and multistages, available in the first week of November.

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

Atlanta, Georgia - NetSpot, the award-winning wireless network survey app for Mac, has released a new build on version 2.4. NetSpot 2.4.623 includes three new features: AP indicators in 3 new sizes, option to export only the surveyed part of your map, and the ability to easily copy network's name MAC-address into clipboard.

NetSpot 2.4.623 also has enhanced how you add custom aliases to networks in the sidebar, map calibrations usability, and how the heatmap is generated on Retina displays. On the previous version, there were some reports of unusual signal level values when using OS X 10.10 but this has now been resolved. Wording for loaded map dimensions has been corrected along with what was causing occasional crashes in full-screen mode. The double-clicking behavior in the sidebar, the error caused by creating a custom group with a duplicated name, and some random exceptions in Discover mode have all been addressed and resolved in the newest release as well.

NetSpot is available in Free, PRO and Enterprise editions. The Free version is perfect for the home user that does not need advanced features like report exporting, AP alias management and active scanning. NetSpot Free version is preferred by the CNET Technical Editor as seen in In pursuit of the perfect Wi-Fi network. The PRO version offers advanced features for network professionals. The Enterprise version is designed for companies that need multiple users and installations. NetSpot received a MacWorld Editor's Choice Award in 2012. For more information visit NetSpot online.
