New Appiness iOS app marketing guide could not come at a better time - Published on 10/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marketing is what separates the winners from the losers in the App Store. Plenty of free information on app marketing already exists, but the new Appiness guide from Bright Newt has given iOS developers a step-by-step plan for effectively marketing their apps without breaking the bank. With cost-per-acquisition numbers trending upward over the past six months, Appiness couldn't come at a better time. A how-to marketing guide for turning duds into profitable apps.

San Ramon, California - Several different ad and promotion networks publish their cost-per-install (CPI) numbers and have reported an upward trend in recent months. Chartboost, for example, showed an increase from $1.99 per install in March 2015 to $2.21 in June 2015. Fiksu reported a $1.79 CPI in November 2015. These numbers represent a huge problem for iOS developers.

To help address this problem, Bright Newt has released Appiness, an iOS app marketing guide. Appiness could not come at a better time. In June 2013 Distimo reported that an app needs 23,000 downloads per day to rise to the Top 50 Free Overall. This means that app developers face a $35,000 /day spend if they want to achieve any real visibility.

"Most iOS developers simply can't afford the development and ongoing optimization costs required to build a freemium app," said Kyle Hartman, Chief Newt at Bright Newt. "And once they do finish an app, they can't afford to advertise and can't get their revenue-per-install high enough to make back their money. It's a Catch-22."

The Bright Newt team wanted to give iOS developers a hand by providing a how-to marketing guide for turning duds into profitable apps. Plenty of free information on app marketing already exists, but Appiness provides step-by-step instructions for inexpensive tactics, as well as "true tales of appiness" from successful developers.

The Appiness guide comes in three different packages at three price points - Basic Appiness for $38, Extra Appiness for $69, and Total Appiness for $118.

Each package comes with an assortment of other tools and resources, such as submission and launch day checklists, comprehensive spreadsheets of app review sites and app-related services, various templates, and interviews with thought leaders in the mobile industry.

The bottom line is this: Scrappy marketing is what separates the winners from the losers in the app business. If iOS developers make a unique, beautiful, and entertaining (or helpful) app, and then execute a smart, inexpensive marketing plan, then their apps will gain visibility, get more downloads, and make more money. Appiness is the winners' new, not-so-secret weapon.

App Tamer 2.1 makes El Capitan cooler, quieter and more power efficient - Published on 10/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Clair Software delivers an update today for App Tamer, its Macintosh utility that manages applications to deliver more efficient CPU usage, increased battery life and quieter operation. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This version delivers compatibility with El Capitan and improves support for a number of applications.

Denver, Colorado - St. Clair Software today is pleased to announce the availability of a free update to its App Tamer utility for Mac OS X. App Tamer 2.1 delivers compatibility with Yosemite and improves its support for a number of applications. Changes include:

* Compatible with El Capitan
* Updated support for NetNewsWire, the App Store app, Go for Facebook, Leaf, Reeder and Fluid browsers
* Improved "Show in Finder" so that it works with system daemons and other non-application processes
* Refined the logic that detects when App Tamer is having trouble monitoring Chrome's download activity
* The AppleScript command for turning autostop on and off now returns the old setting as its result

More about App Tamer:
Some Mac applications, especially web browsers, continue running tasks or animations even when they're supposed to be idle in the background. This can consume valuable processing power, reducing battery life and producing heat that increases fan noise. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses these applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This frees your CPU and reduces power consumption.

App Tamer comes pre-configured to automatically manage Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Spotlight, Time Machine, Word and many other apps when they're in the background. And customizing it for other applications is just a mouse click away.

Pricing and Availability:
App Tamer will operate on any Macintosh running Mac OS X version 10.7 or higher. You can try App Tamer free for 15 days. A license to continue using it after the trial period is $14.95 (USD). If you bought App Tamer 2.0 this update is free. If you purchased App Tamer 1.x after July 1, 2013 the update is also free. If you purchased your license before that date you can upgrade for $7.95 (USD).

Assembly 1.0 for iOS Harks a New Era of Graphic Design - Published on 10/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixite LLC announced today the launch of Assembly 1.0, the easiest, most powerful vector design app for iOS devices. Assembly lets users create beautiful logos, characters, icons and illustrative scenes using professional level tools in a simple package that anyone can design with. The key to simplifying the design process and at the same time producing beautiful artwork is Assembly's unique building block approach to design, a concept refined through the input of professional graphic designers.

San Diego, California - Pixite LLC announced today the launch of Assembly 1.0, the easiest, most powerful vector design app for the iPhone and iPad. Assembly lets users create beautiful logos, characters, icons and illustrative scenes using professional level tools in a simple package that anyone can design with.

"Many aspiring creatives have trouble making meaningful artwork with the graphic design software out there today," says Pixite co-founder, Eugene Kaneko. "If you're a professional or have the time and money, software like Adobe Illustrator is a fantastic tool for design. The downside is it's complicated and hard to master, because it encompasses so much. We were determined to build an app from the ground up that is both easy enough for design newcomers to master, yet deep enough to become an essential tool for seasoned designers. The outcome is Assembly."

The key to simplifying the design process and at the same time producing beautiful artwork is Assembly's unique building block approach to design, a concept refined through the input of professional graphic designers. The Pixite development team observed that the best designers would build basic shapes or templates that were repeated, deleted, and combined to create their final work. Based on this, the team was curious whether providing basic, well-designed shapes can elevate the work that non-designers can produce and also provide a shortcut for professional designers without sacrificing the quality of their work.

Exploring this concept, the team hired a group of talented graphic designers to craft basic shapes that could be used for general design work as well as ones around specific themes like space, nature, animals, floral, robots, and cities. With enough variation in shapes, an infinite number of designs of different styles are possible. With that in mind, Assembly comes installed with over 180 shapes and the option to download many more from inside the app. Work submitted by test users from around the world proved that the building block approach delivered on the promise of better design across the board at any skill level.

One of the challenges to the building block approach was connecting shapes precisely and quickly on the artboard to create a design. In response, the development team built an intelligent snapping system that helps align edges, rotate shapes to certain angles, match sizes of various shapes, and create circular designs, all without being overbearing or hindering the design process.

As Assembly users built more intricate and complex artwork, it became obvious that a multi-select and grouping feature was needed to make changes across multiple shapes, make copies of finished objects, and lock down specific design elements. Taking full advantage of the touch device, Assembly uses a novel yet intuitive hold-down-and-drag gesture, a first among graphic design apps, to multi-select and group shapes.

Another challenging but often ignored aspect to graphic design is choosing the right color combination for each project. Assembly corrects this by providing pre-made color palettes that fit the need of almost any design. More seasoned designers can create an unlimited number of custom color palettes using the color swatch or eye-dropper tool. The quality of work that people are able to produce because of the Assembly color palette system is exceptional.

Designing in Assembly means that anything created in the app can be scaled infinitely without losing image quality. Designs can be blown up to fit an iPhone screen, t-shirt, poster, wall, or even a building. Assembly's infinitely zooming artboard also means that designs in Assembly can be highly detailed and extremely large. Assembly work can be exported as high-resolution images in JPEG and PNG formats as well as SVG vector format, allowing professionals to open their designs in desktop applications like Adobe Illustrator.

Anticipating that for many, Assembly will become their go-to design tool, the Pixite team has included project management features like project exporting and automatic iCloud syncing and backup. The exporting of projects through email and text messaging lets artists collaborate with others using non-destructive Assembly project files. iCloud syncing allows artists to work on a project on multiple iOS devices and backs up Assembly files automatically so that they never go missing.

The breadth of artwork that Assembly can create is staggering, ranging from black and white lineart that takes advantage of the built-in stroke options to colorful illustrative sceneries using themed shapes and shadows, to abstract geometric designs overlaid on colorful landscape photographs that can be loaded directly onto the artboard. Simple to use yet fully equipped with tools for professional designers, Assembly is poised to democratize the graphic design industry.

"When we handed Assembly to our testers we didn't know what to expect. We were immediately floored by the work people were sending in. Many of these people had no prior experience in design and yet they were the ones creating the most amazing work. I think that speaks to how exceptional Assembly is," explains Eugene Kaneko.

* A building block approach that allows everyone to do graphic design
* Over 180 shapes that can be combined to create an infinite number of unique designs
* More themed shape packs available for download in the in-app store

We knew there had to be a better way, and thought we could combine the immediacy and transparency of apps like Uber and Airbnb to create a mobile-first ticketing platform. Our vision for Stubblr is to tear down the barriers established by traditional marketplaces, and create a safe environment that empowers buyers and sellers to transact directly in real-time." Users are already embracing the new approach, awarding Stubblr with dozens of 5-star reviews in the App Store.

Stubblr Features:
* Post ticket requests and deals
* Find buyers and sellers around you with geo location
* Instantly chat with users to negotiate and transact
* Social profiles for verification
* Digital payments and buyer ticket validation

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

Pricing and Availability:
Stubblr 1.0.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. An Android version to shortly follow.

DriveDx 1.4.1 for Mac - Save yourself from Data Loss and Downtime - Published on 10/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BinaryFruit today announces the immediate availability of DriveDx 1.4.1, its latest solution for SSD and HDD health diagnostics and monitoring. The most important new feature is support of external USB/FireWire drive S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic on OS X El Capitan. DriveDx 1.4.1, most likely, is the first app on the market that has this feature. Because DriveDx tracks more indicators of impending failure than any other product on the market, users will get advanced warning before their drives fail.

San Francisco, United States - BinaryFruit today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of DriveDx 1.4.1, its latest solution for SSD and HDD health diagnostics and monitoring. The most important new feature is support of external USB/FireWire drive S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic on OS X El Capitan (10.11), as all previous solutions are incompatible with new OS X System Integrity Protection (SIP) functionality. DriveDx 1.4.1, most likely, is the first product on the market that has this feature.

As OS X does not have a comprehensive drive health indicator, DriveDx fills a critical role in measuring the overall health of both SSD and HDD drives. Because DriveDx tracks more indicators of impending failure than any other product on the market, users will get advanced warning before their drives fail. This will allow them to take action to avert the failure, and save themselves from resulting data loss and downtime.

Unlike many other drive health diagnostics utilities that simply check built-in S.M.A.R.T. status, DriveDx performs overall drive health diagnostics using drive health indicators (like SSD wear out / endurance, reallocated bad sectors, offline bad sectors, pending sectors, I/O errors, and more) that most closely correlate with drive failures according to the statistics reported in the latest researches focused on identifying drive failure trends. This gives a user a comprehensive picture of a current drive health status and enables foreseeing potential problems with drive failure and loss of sensitive data. Moreover, DriveDx shows this information on a user-friendly Mac-style interface in an easy-to-understand format.

"Here's a DriveDx triumph. DriveDx showed my just out of AppleCare iMac with two pre-fail conditions for the hard drive. Made appointment and took it to Genius Bar yesterday. Tech looked at DriveDx and was very impressed. Even though out of warranty - they replaced the drive without question," said Michael Sidoric, CapMac User Group Treasurer, ex-Vice President of CapMac.org. "God knows how many dollars and troubles DriveDx saved me since I had several vital FinalCut projects on it."

DriveDx is a combined drive health analysis and forecasting tool. It monitors and analyses changes to S.M.A.R.T. attributes in order to continuously evaluate drive health status and predict drive failures. In addition to "Failed" and "OK" drive statutes DriveDx supports "Warning" and "Failing" statuses indicating that a drive is in a pre-failure status and backup of sensitive data is highly recommended.

DriveDx performs both SSD and HDD health diagnostics. Moreover, it uses a separate set of indicators for SSD and HDD to monitor drive health status. This is particularly important as SSD works different from HDD, and requires a different algorithm to check its health status. Also, SDDs typically are more dependent on firmware than HDDs, and DriveDx has been programmed to support many versions of firmware (please see our website for a complete list of supported firmware).

DriveDx allows configuring the delivery of customized drive status and free space reports by e-mail and therefore does not require user presence to inform about drive status changes. In addition DriveDx can launch built-in drive diagnostics self-tests. Drive self-tests will help to quickly identify if the drive is faulty.

DriveDx is the first utility of its kind to have a real user-friendly Mac-style interface. It is organized in a way that allows a user to view and understand drive status and its performance at a glance. User can switch between different view modes to drill up or down data related to drive health, including S.M.A.R.T. indicators and attributes, drive statistics and errors.

What's New in DriveDx 1.4.1:
* Improved support of OS X El Capitan (10.11)
* (!) Support of external drives diagnostic on OS X El Capitan (10.11)
* Improved support of recent SSD and HDD models
* Improved drive health diagnostic algorithms and heuristics
* Many stability improvements
* Many cosmetic tweaks and fixes
* Issues that could cause the system to freeze on certain Macs has also been addressed

DriveDx feature highlights:
* Support of modern SSDs and HDDs
* SSD lifetime left indicator
* Different routines for SSD and HDD health evaluation
* Real-time SSD & HDD health status monitoring
* User friendly and intuitive UI
* Multi-tier warning system that will inform the user about deviations from the normal state of drive attributes
* Diagnostic Knowledge Base online auto-updating
* Drive overall health rating
* Drive overall performance rating (if drive supports this subset of indicators)
* Device statistics
* I/O errors monitoring
* Drive free space monitoring
* Support of drive short and full (extended) self-tests
* Sending a warning whenever a problem with a Firmware exists
* Saving detailed drive status reports to a file
* Warning a user with pop-up notifications about errors and failures
* Displaying drive status on a status bar
* Runs natively on OS X

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer

Pricing and Availability - DriveDx 1.4.1 has 4 types of licenses that are currently being offered on promotion:
* Personal License - $19.99 (USD)
* Family License - $39.99
* Business License - starting from $99.99
* IT-Consultant License - starting from $49.99

DriveDx 1.4.1 can be purchased from the BinaryFruit website. The Mac App Store update is coming soon. A fully functional 10-day trial version is available for download at our website. Review copies are available upon request.

Introducing Liberate - Ad Block Blocker for iOS developers - Published on 10/08/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Impala Studios introduces Liberate, an Open Source ad-block blocker for app makers who want to keep their apps free. In reaction to the appearance of content-blocking software on iOS devices, Liberate Ad-Block Blocker (LABB for short) gives users the choice: allow ads or buy the app. Developers rely on advertising revenue to provide free apps. Many startups rely on advertising revenue or on the prospect of creating a large user base which can be monetised (with ads) at a later date.

Haarlem, Netherlands - Impala Studios introduces LABB - Liberate AdBlock Blocker - on GitHub. This is code for app developers to detect ad-blocking software in iOS. The first release was on the 7th October 2015 and was built in reaction to ad blocking apps such as Been Choice (c) that block advertising in native apps by routing the users over a VPN. Besides damaging app developers' revenues from advertising, these ad blocking apps can track their users' traffic and will start selling their user's attention to advertisers, introducing a new layer between the consumer and the product. Developers rely on advertising revenue to provide free apps.

Frank List, CTO of Impala Studios, had this to say: "Recently we came across an app called Been Choice, which allows iOS users to disable advertisements in native apps. Besides the privacy issues that users of this app will have, as explained on TechCrunch, we think this is a very disturbing development for all app developers, mobile users and innovation in general.

Many innovative ideas and apps are being developed by smaller or one man development companies. But precisely these small app developers will be the first ones to be put out of business because of the lack of advertising revenue. They will not have the resources to be able to handle this vital missing income. In the long run this will result in the mobile market losing an important part of their creativity.

Secondly, consider startups. Many startups rely on advertising revenue or on the prospect of creating a large user base which can be monetised (with ads) at a later date. Without the possibility of advertising revenue, these startups will have a very hard time getting any funding at all in the future, which in the end will result in even less creativity in the app market.

Not only are these ad blockers bad for our business, they are also bad for the businesses of many fellow app developers out there, bad for the end user and bad for overall technical innovation. Ad blockers like Been Choice are only really a success for the owners of the ad-blocking app, who see all the traffic being sent through their own VPN server, with the possibility to sell this very detailed personal data.

Overnight, we developed a system that detects if an end user is using an ad blocker. If this is the case we politely ask the user to disable ad blocking, or we redirect to the paid version of the app.

If all developers implement this system, we foresee that native ad blockers will not become a problem, thus benefitting the entire mobile ecosystem. Download the code on GitHub as open source. Enjoy!"
