Kid-Do Timeline, the Groundbreaking Routine Assistant Now Updated - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gepemat LLC has released Kid-Do Timeline 2.0, an update to their children's lifestyle app for iOS and Android devices. Kid-Do Timeline makes schedules and routines accessible and fun for kids, which turns events like bedtime and getting ready for school from a stressful ordeal, into a smooth operation for everyone - including proud and relieved parents. Daily tasks that kids usually avoid become a game they are eager to participate in. The groundbreaking app has been updated with sound.

New York, New York - As almost every parent has experienced, telling young children to "finish playing in 10 minutes" or there are "only 5 more minutes until bedtime" can be frustrating for everyone. While parents might feel their children are uncooperative, the concept of time itself is too abstract for young children to understand. Fortunately, this obstacle can be effectively and enjoyably overcome thanks to the recently updated app Kid-Do Timeline.

Developed by Gepemat LLC and available for Android, iPhone and now iPad, Kid-Do Timeline is a groundbreaking app that displays the passing of time in a child-friendly way. Horizontal bars of color - "Activity Timelines" - move from right to left across the screen, simply illustrating time passing as children fulfill given activities and routines. Caregivers can easily set up daily and weekly routines on the timeline with pre-programmed activities represented by colorful and easy-to-identify illustrations. Activities include daily such tasks as "brush your teeth" or "put your shoes on".

Kid-Do allows kids to easily see, understand and appreciate:
* All of their upcoming activities, which are clearly lined up end-to-end
* How much time has progressed for each activity
* How much time remains for each activity
* How much time remains until the end of a routine
* When a routine is complete

What's more, each Activity Timeline is set against appealing landscapes and cozy rooms, which change as time unfolds. This creates a warm and engaging experience for children, who naturally learn better and faster as they are enjoying themselves. Daily tasks that kids usually avoid become a game they are eager to participate in. The latest version of Kid-Do Timeline now includes exceptional sound as well, which enhances the overall experience and adds to the fun.

Other Kid-Do Timeline special features include:
* The option for children to swipe their screen and see the next activity - which is a potent source of motivation to usher them through tasks they don't enjoy
* Over 50 built-in activities to choose from in 5 categories: "meals," "getting ready," "bathroom/washing up," "bedtime," and "other activities"
* The option to create an unlimited number of custom activities outside the array of pre-programmed choices
* The option to pre-set run days and times and receive notifications before routines begin
* A "quick routine" feature that's ideal for spontaneous or unplanned activities
* The option to pause or rearrange activities
* No ads or in-app purchases of any kind

"We're parents with small children, and we developed the Kid-Do Timeline for our kids, because we saw them struggle to manage their time," commented the app's creators. "Whether getting them through their morning routines or sending them off to sleep, the Kid-Do Timeline helps make schedules and routines accessible and fun for kids, and helps them understand that the less time they waste now, means more time doing what they like later!"

In addition to assisting younger children in understanding time, the timeline is also effective for other children who struggle to manage time, stay focused on the task at hand, and/or stick to routines.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 87.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Kid-Do Timeline 2.0, the groundbreaking activity routine assistant for parents that is now updated with sound, is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Tracker Buttons Lets Users Easily Track Virtually Any Aspect of Life - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TrackerButtons has released Tracker Buttons Pro 1.4, an update to their popular productivity app developed for iOS devices. Tracker Buttons by TrackerButtons lets users quickly create three types of buttons - count, value, and duration - to track and manage various activities of their life. The new no-cost app also features tagging, overviews, enhanced privacy, usage history, and more. Version 1.4 updates the minimum iOS version required to 8.0 and fixes a rarely occurring bug.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Professionals, organizers, busy moms, students, athletes, and anyone else who wants to easily track and manage virtually any aspect of their life, can now head to the App Store and download the must-have new app Tracker Buttons by TrackerButtons. Available in both a Lite and Pro version, Tracker Buttons lets users quickly create three types of buttons to track and manage various activities: COUNT, DURATION and VALUE:

* The COUNT button lets users count anything they wish, so they'll always exactly know - rather than have to guess - how many times they've completed an activity. For example, users can count how many times they've exercised, how many glasses of water they've drunk, and so on.

* The DURATION button functions like a stopwatch, and lets users track the time spent on any activity. For example, users can precisely track how long they've spent surfing the web, watching TV, speaking on the phone with friends or customers, and so on. Clicking the button starts the timer, while clicking it again stops the timer.

* The VALUE button lets users associate a specific custom value (i.e. number) with an activity, and then keep track of that value on an ongoing basis. For example, users can associate the value "200" with their favorite Starbucks beverage to denote the number of calories. Then every time they drink one, they simply input the item/value pair (e.g. "Frappucino" + "200"), tap the VALUE button, and easily keep track of the calories on an ongoing basis. Or, users can simply re-name the VALUE button itself (i.e. change it to "Frappucino") and tap it each time.

At the same time, Tracker Button's user interface, layout and color scheme are all designed to enhance clarity. As such, there is no clutter or information overload, despite the fact that the app can store and track an enormous amount of data.

Other Tracker Buttons special features include:
* The option to add 5 different types of information to each button/activity: Text Note, Audio, Video, Picture, Location, and Alarm
* A helpful "Summary" function on the home page, that displays a brief calculation of activities associated with values; Users can modify this display to see totals over a period of time (e.g. day, week, month), as well as identify averages over a period of time
* A special "Privacy" button that lets users mark certain activities as confidential or sensitive; Once toggled, access to such activities and any association information is only available to users who have the passcode; Users can also hide/un-hide private buttons (un-hiding requires the passcode)
* The option to review usage history (date, time, added tags, button information), which can be exported as a comma delimited zipped file
* The option to change button colors, styles and shapes

"Sometimes, life can be difficult to manage and keep in control - there are only so many hours in a day to get everything done," commented a spokesperson from TrackerButtons. "The good news, however, is that Tracker Buttons makes it easy for users to track almost any aspect of their life. It's extremely flexible, very powerful, and yet incredibly simple!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 6.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tracker Buttons Pro 1.4 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Tracker Buttons Lite (Ad Supported) is also available at no-cost from the App Store.

Introducing MetroKit 2 - A flexible and customizable metronome for OS X - Published on 12/18/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Nikolas Konstantakopoulos from Granny's Audio, has announced MetroKit 2, a flexible metronome suitable to practice any instrument. Equipped with speed & rhythm trainers, fully customizable beats and accents, and a new unique feature "Track Mode", it can create from simple exercises to the most demanding progressive rhythmic practice exercises. Supporting custom beat divisions, MetroKit 2 can help even the most demanding musicians to go a step further.

Rethymno, Greece - Indie developer, Nikolas Konstantakopoulos from Granny's Audio, has announced MetroKit 2, a flexible metronome suitable to practice any instrument. Equipped with speed & rhythm trainers, fully customizable beats and accents, and a new unique feature "Track Mode," it can create from simple exercises to the most demanding progressive rhythmic practice exercises. Supporting custom beat divisions, MetroKit 2 can help even the most demanding musicians to go a step further.

MetroKit 2, is an advanced metronome, with lots of new and extra features. It includes 3 modes, "Simple," "Trainer" and "Track."

Simple Mode:
Just set a tempo, time signature and practice over it. You can also set a bar limit, that stops MetroKit when it is reached, in order to practice over specific time.

Trainer Mode:
Speed - Practice your speed and rhythm. Set a starting tempo and a goal tempo, and the increase (or decrease) steps

Rhythm:
MetroKit includes a Rhythm Trainer, that mutes it after a specific number of bars for a user set number of bars e.g. hearing 3 bars and mute 1.
Train your rhythm stability and perception.

The trainers can work together for more difficult rhythm and speed practicing.

Track Mode:
To fully customize your practice, MetroKit introduces a "Track" mode. There, you can add sessions to you overall practice that each one start after the other. For example:

1. Start with a warm up session of a low 90 BPM and simple 4/4 rhythm for 64 bars.
2. Continue with a speed training session to advance the tempo e.g. advance 5 BPM every 4 bars until it reaches 140.
3. Add a rhythm training for 32 bars.
4. Rest for 16 bars at a low tempo practice.
5. etc.

Each session can be a "simple mode" session or a "trainer mode" session.

Extra Features:
* The tempo ranges from a very low 30 BPM to a very fast 480
* Time signature can be up to 32 / 32nds with a lot of variations (9/8, 11/16, 7/4 etc.)
* Every beat can have up to 9 subdivisions allowing very complex rhythms

Every beat's subdivisions are independent, meaning on a 4/4 rhythm, the first beat can have 4 subdivisions (16ths) the second one 5 subdivisions, the third 1(just a quarter note) and so on.

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.6.6 or later
* 34.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MetroKit 2.0.4 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Music category. For any problems with the applications, feature suggestions, collaborations proposals or just to say hi, we are happy to hear from you!
