Asking - Make online surveys or forms on your fingertips - Published on 10/15/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wenjoy Technologies has released Asking 1.2.0, an app service for mobile survey on iOS devices. Build a questionnaire on your fingertips in just 5 minutes, and send it to friends or customers via WhatsApp or messenger to collect feedbacks. The questionnaire can be answered on any platform or system. All survey results are pushed back to your iPhone immediately. The statistics of the answers are computed in the clouds so the entire process is completely free from doing statistics manually.

Hsinchu, Taiwan - Wenjoy Technologies has released Asking 1.2.0, an app service for mobile survey on iOS devices. Understanding the views of customers is absolutely an important thing no matter what industry you are in. Of all the means, questionnaire is the most effective and direct way to get customer feedback. However, the cost of commissioned market research is not affordable by small businesses or SOHO workers. There are lots of inconveniences in using traditional questionnaires - for example, handing out questionnaires to customers, collecting answered questionnaires or manually filing and doing statistics. These can all be reasons for low response rate or failure to obtain the real opinion of customers.

As a matter of fact, if the questionnaire is not complex and the way to answer is simple enough, customers are usually willing to spend some time to help. There should be a better way to solve this problem when mobile phones already have entered the cloud era today. Asking, the new questionnaire platform Wenjoy recently launched provides such a solution. Although there are other online questionnaire services on the market today, most of them are web-based, and using them on the small screens of mobile phones is relatively inconvenient.

Asking is an online questionnaire service completely designed for mobile platforms. It can be used to create all kinds of questionnaires more easily and directly on mobile phones or tablets. Not only does it increase mobility, the real-time survey results can also be viewed anytime. Through Asking's intelligent questionnaire analysis system in the cloud, more can be revealed about customers' issues and needs.

Asking provides many basic question types commonly used by questionnaires, such as multiple choice question with single answer, multiple choice question with multiple answers, free-text-input question, drop-down menu, measurement scale question and identity question. Image and video can be inserted into the questions. If the text contains an URL, the system will automatically retrieve it and turn it into a clickable link. To distribute the questionnaire, simply pass the link of the questionnaire to a surveyed party through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Line, WeChat, SMS, or email. The questionnaire can be answered on any platform or system.

Ease of answering definitely translates into high response ratio. Asking also provides the capability to convert questionnaire link to QR code, so it can be printed out for even more alterative usages. Viewing the results of the survey is also another major feature of Asking - in addition to clearly identifying the system of the respondents, the statistics of the answers are computed in the clouds, and the results are shown in statistical charts in the terminal.

The entire process is completely free from doing statistics manually, and is updated in real-time. Moreover, if it is desired to collect more samples from outside of the circle of friends, Asking also provides a public market research area, which can host user-produced questionnaires. A user can set the number of surveys to collect and pay accordingly. Other users can come to this area to answer the questionnaire and earn cash points.

Wenjoy has been providing all sorts of innovative solutions in the mobile platform. This time, the brand new service is launched in iOS version first. Currently, members of the free version can use most of the functions, while the fee-based members of the professional Edition and the Elite Edition can have access to more advanced features.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Asking 1.2.0 is Free (with In-App Purchases) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Total Football and Tiki Taka styles meet in this mobile game - Published on 10/15/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer, Migoi Studios today introduces Total Tiki-Taka 1.0, a casual football game for iOS and Android. Total Tiki - Taka combines the elements of Total Football and Tiki Taka styles in a casual, one touch game. Take control of your favorite teams and master the art of passing in this frantic passing game. Total Tiki-Taka puts you on the football training grounds where real players are made. The game has 14 international teams to play with with individual leaderboards for every team.

Thane, India - Independent developer, Migoi Studios today announces the release of Total Tiki-Taka 1.0, a casual football game for iOS and Android devices. Total Tiki - Taka combines the elements of Total Football and Tiki Taka styles in a casual, one touch game.

Total Football and Tiki Taka styles have been on the opposite end of the footballing spectrum since each of them gained success in their own way. Total Football was made famous by the dominant Dutch team of the 70's with Johan Cruyff leading this revolution in world football. The fluid positional changes, which characterized total football became a man-marking nightmare and lead to swift and decimating victories against many of the top teams of the period for the Dutch.

Tiki-Taka on the other though derived from Total football misses the crucial positional changes and focuses on possession based football with short passes meant to wear down oppositions. Although around for some time, tiki-taka really become a style to be marveled and modeled upon during Pep Guardiola's term at Barcelona. Supporters of both of these systems claim theirs to be the better one. General opinions perceive that Total football is beautiful to watch while the fact that Barcelona enjoyed it's best trophy-laden period playing the Tiki-taka under Guardiola cannot be ignored.

Total Tiki-Taka integrates the cores of both these decorated footballing styles in this casual one touch game. The game takes place in the training grounds of the teams, an area not seen in most games. At the start, we see 6 players run out to the field and stand in formation around the center of the pitch. The game starts off with the ball being passed to one player and the user has to tap on the player who is about to receive the ball to keep the session in progress. The players will keep changing positions randomly and this is what the user has to keep an eye out for as it is very likely that the user will tap on the wrong player and earn cusses from the other on field players.

The game has 14 international teams to play with with individual leaderboards for every team. Each team has to be unlocked by completing a series of small missions. Occasionally the game will throw in a power up which will aid you in achieving a higher score.

Device requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 46.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Total Tiki-Taka 1.0 is free, and is available worldwide through the App Store in the Game category. An Android version is available through the Google Play Store.

DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. DEVONthink and DEVONnote help its users classify and organize documents effortlessly with unique artificial intelligence. Version 2.8.7 brings compatibility changes for OS X El Capitan, a faster and more reliable synchronization, and improved Evernote import. The updates are free and recommended for all users.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - OS X El Capitan is out and DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.8.7 add some necessary changes for it. In addition the built-in synchronization both between Macs and from Mac to iOS has been overhauled for reliability and speed. Importing or indexing files is up to twice as fast as in previous versions. DEVONthink 2.8.7 improves taking over notes from Evernote by grouping attachments and cross-linking them. It imports all images regardless how they were originally created by Evernote.

Other improvements in DEVONthink 2.8.7 include more comfortable navigation within PDF documents, better PDF printing, and fullscreen support for videos from web views. The extension of text files containing tabular data is no longer changed which increases the compatibility to third-party applications. Rebuilding databases retains all dates and directly imported email messages, e.g. dragged into DEVONthink, support additional metadata. An automatically updated user agent string improves compatibility to modern websites on OS X Yosemite and El Capitan. Finally, the Markdown and SkimNotes engines have been updated to their latest versions.

The updates also bring further internal optimizations and bug fixes that improve their performance and reliability.

"DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.8.7 bring the usual compatibility fixes that are necessary when Apple releases a major new version of OS X. But that's not enough for us so we added an update for both Mac and iOS syncs as well as better import from Evernote. It's a multi-device multi-app world and every release of DEVONthink and DEVONnote will bring more improvements here to make it easy to keep your documents at hand at all times," comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

SOOMLA Announces 3 Partnerships to Expand Rapidly Growing GROW Network - Published on 10/15/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leading in-game data platform, SOOMLA is announcing 3 new partnerships to expand growth of its burgeoning GROW data network. Partners include gaming giant Chukong, creator of the popular Cocos2d-x game engine. SOOMLA's technology will enable partner platform developers to predict user spend likelihood in current games, and to drive next-game design based on data-driven recommendations. SOOMLA's unified API transforms complex integrations into one line of code.

Tel Aviv, Israel - =SOOMLA, a leading in-game data platform, is announcing 3 new partnerships to expand growth of its burgeoning GROW data network. Leading the list of new partners is gaming giant Chukong, creator of the popular Cocos2d-x game engine. SOOMLA's technology will be incorporated into Chukong's new SDKBOX live operations platform to empower Cocos2d-x developers with paying user insights. With 5000 live games and a soaring rate of 30% adoption of GROW, SOOMLA expects this partnership to attract thousands of new games into its data sharing community.

Earlier this year after securing its $5.5 million series A round, SOOMLA launched the GROW data network to help developers spot "whales", top spending users, in their games. The integration with SDKBOX will enable game developers to uncover user spend likelihood and drive marketing decisions with this data. Kai Zhao, general manager of Chukong USA commended the partnership and said: "We're happy to expand SDKBOX offering with SOOMLA, a company that shares our passion for open source technology and developer communities".

The new offering by SOOMLA is a collaborative data network for mobile games that analyzes deep user behavior to spot loyal users and top spenders. GROW harnesses cutting edge algorithms to predict how likely users are to pay in a specific mobile game based on their in-app purchase history in other games. Developers who opt in to the network share their data and in return unlock user-level insights that drive critical marketing decisions.

Leveraging behavioral data from thousands of games in the GROW network, SOOMLA also offers a new game recommendation service that combines data analysis and expert consulting. When a game hits certain usage volume, its users are analyzed in overlapping games to produce an insights report. The service enables game studios to make data-driven decisions for designing their next title to appeal to their user audience.

The cooperation with Chukong is only one piece of the puzzle. SOOMLA is also partnering with key in-app purchase tools prime31 and Stan's Assets to expand its network offering. As Yaniv Nizan the CEO, explains: "We initially built the GROW network to serve our community but as we launched we received requests from developers who are using other IAP solutions to join the network. We are allowing developers to choose their IAP plugin and independently decide if they want to participate in GROW and send data to the community".

This announcement comes on the heels of an increasing race to in-app purchase data land grab. On September 21st 2015, rival game engine Unity announced new in-app purchase features for its next release. Unity also hinted that they are after the data by explaining that the IAP feature will report directly to their Analytics platform. SOOMLA's take on the data stems from its community oriented, grassroots approach to technology. As an open source shop, the company is manifesting its sharing philosophy to democratize mobile analytics. While Unity has yet to speak publicly of its strategy around in-app purchase data collection, it is hard to say whether developers will benefit from the collective data pool, or will Unity rather keep the data closed. "We truly believe in empowering developers with each other's data, and we're challenging Unity to join hands with us as well," says Nizan.
