Leaping Bytes Releases MapPocket v.2.7 Update - Take Your Maps Anywhere - Published on 05/08/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leaping Bytes has released MapPocket 2.7, an update to their iOS map application that helps save on roaming charges while traveling. MapPocket is a quick, intuitive and convenient way of using maps on the road without an Internet connection. Users can choose maps from one of four providers: Google, Mapquest, Bing or OpenStreetMap. MapPocket allows to share recorded maps with all your devices using iCloud or DropBox. Version 2.7 introduces brand new Help that covers every aspect of MapPocket.

Silver Spring, Maryland - Leaping Bytes today is pleased to announce the release of MapPocket v.2.7, an update to their map application that can help you to save a lot on roaming charges while traveling. MapPocket allows you to put online maps in your pocket, so you can use them later without an Internet connection.

Whats New in MapPocket v.2.7:
* Brand new Help covers every aspect of MapPocket
* DropBox integration upgraded to the latest version of DropBox API
* Significant performance gains in importing map from the Cloud
* It is possible now to delete a map from the device, but leave it on the Cloud.

MapPocket is a quick, convenient and feature-rich way of using maps on the road without an Internet connection. There are number of reasons why you may want to use MapPocket:
* If you go abroad and want to avoid roaming charges (while using maps)
* If you go "into the wild" where, most likely, you will not have any Internet connection (with some cell providers "wild" could mean "just around the corner")
* If you own an iPad or iPod without a cell data plan and going to wonder into an area without free WiFi
* And you can save some trees by not printing your maps anymore

Before you go offline, plan your expedition using an intuitive interface. At any moment touch one button to start recording what you see. MapPocket will remember all tiles you viewed. Once recorded, maps will be available any time without the internet connection. You can choose maps from one of four providers: Google, Mapquest, Bing or OpenStreetMap. If you go to Paris you may want to choose a "roadmap" view, if you go to the jungles of Amazonia you may prefer a "satellite" view.

Recorded maps are easily shared between all your devices using iCloud or DropBox. You can record a map using convenience of a large iPad's screen and later you can access the same map on your iPhone. While planning expedition (online), you can use standard search functionality to locate points of interest. Even when offline, you can use built-in GPS to pin-point your exact location on a recorded map.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 10.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MapPocket 2.7 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Navigation category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced that MEI Portico, a branded landing view and custom storefront solution for apps built using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, is now available for purchase. Portico makes it easy for tablet-app publishers to configure multiple gateways for showcasing user-targeted content, organizing issues for easier navigation and purchase, presenting dynamic news or social media feeds, and much more. MEI Portico is available for purchase now.

Jenkintown, Pennsylvania - Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced that MEI Portico, a branded landing view and custom storefront solution for apps built using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, is now available for purchase. Portico makes it easy for tablet-app publishers to configure multiple gateways for showcasing user-targeted content, organizing issues for easier navigation and purchase, presenting dynamic news or social media feeds, and much more.

When a user launches an app built with Portico, the custom landing view is presented first, rather than the default Adobe DPS library view. Based on privileges that the app publisher defines and configures, only selected folios and other content will be shown, accessible or featured within that user's Portico view.

MEI has worked closely with Adobe on DPS since before the software became publicly available more than a year ago. Now as then, MEI is the leading Adobe DPS reseller worldwide by a large margin. MEI has provided numerous customers with specialized tablet-development work, including workflow optimization, training, design development and other professional services. This vast experience and hands-on interaction helped MEI tailor Portico's robust feature set to its users' needs.

"More than any other Adobe DPS distributor, MEI has made it possible for a large variety of tablet publishers to create rich, engaging content that readers love," said Craig Roth, senior vice president of sales at MEI. "Our unsurpassed expertise in this field helped us build the best custom storefront solution available for DPS tablet-app publishers."

The experience is managed on the fly through the Web-based MEI Portico Admin interface. In addition to user privileges, other Portico elements can be modified via this interface, including issue categories, featured content settings, live stream displays and more.

All changes published through the Admin interface are reflected immediately, without requiring the publisher to redeploy the app.

"Portico is ready today for app publishers who want to optimize their Adobe DPS content," Roth said. "Our solution makes it possible to create customized, targeted gateways for all readers, users, sales reps, members - there can be a unique experience for everyone accessing the app."

Availability:
MEI Portico is available for purchase now for users of the Enterprise edition of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. For publishers who want to enhance their tablet output with functionality beyond the standard template, MEI's creative services team can help develop specialized Porticos with custom features. For more details and purchasing information, contact an MEI sales representative at 215-886-5662 or sales@maned.com. To learn more about Portico, visit MEI's website.

About Adobe Digital Publishing Suite:
The Adobe Digital Publishing Suite enables the creation of immersive reading experiences that combine the visual impact of print design, the flexibility of the tablet format, the immediacy of touch interaction and the engagement of interactive elements such as video, audio and animated infographics.

SmartDay for Mac Beta Now Available, Syncs to iCal, iOS apps, Cloud

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Tue May 8, 2012 9:31 am (PDT)



SmartDay for Mac Beta Now Available, Syncs to iCal, iOS apps, Cloud - Published on 05/08/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SmartDay Mac, an integrated calendar and organizer designed for wide-screen Macs, iMacs and MacBooks, is now available for public beta. The app uses advanced logic to schedule tasks directly into the free time in one's calendar, and offers easy control over task prioritization and time management. SmartDay integrates with the company's cloud hub, mySmartDay.com, to sync with their top-selling iPad organizer, SmartPad. SmartDay Mac automatically syncs both events and reminders from iCal.

Seattle, Washington - SmartDay Mac, an integrated calendar and organizer designed for wide-screen Macs, iMacs and MacBooks, is now available for public beta. The app uses advanced logic to schedule tasks directly into the free time in one's calendar, and offers easy control over task prioritization and time management. SmartDay integrates with the company's cloud hub, mySmartDay.com, to sync with their top-selling iPad organizer, SmartPad.

Minimalist Design:
SmartDay Mac takes a minimalist approach by docking to either side of the computer desktop, allowing it to run unobtrusively next to other applications in your workflow, providing a quick and easy way to stay informed and on-task throughout the day. "Our first app, SmartTime, was on the iPhone. It now has almost a million downloads. We looked at the expansive screen real estate on the Mac and decided to design SmartDay as a companion to all of the other things you're doing during the day," explains Michael Jardine, the managing partner of Left Coast Logic. "Think of SmartDay as a valet - always there when you need it, discretely hidden when you don't."

Smart Sync to Cloud:
SmartDay Mac automatically syncs both events and reminders from iCal, but the beauty is in how it integrates them together into its own calendar. "Nobody else integrates tasks and events directly into the calendar like we do," says co-founder James Reynolds. "SmartDay is the perfect companion to iCal because it takes the information you already have, and makes it Smart. Even better, now we have our own web-based organizer with the same innovative design. Now your integrated calendars can be connected from SmartDay on your home and office Macs to mySmartDay.com on any browser, to SmartPad - and soon to an iPhone version as well."

Fold-out List view with GTD and projects:
The app features a fold-out list view that displays tasks either in a consolidated list with filters, auto-sorts and context tags; or by project category. Tasks in the consolidated list can be dragged up and down to change order, and are automatically divided between "Do Today" and "Do Later." One of the most useful filters is called "GTDo" and is based on the GTD philosophy of "Getting Things Done." It shows only the top task from each project, combined into one view. When the user marks a GTDo task as 'done', the next task from that project automatically flows into the view - and on into the Calendar. A project feature tracks % complete for each project category.

Intuitive drag and drop:
SmartDay offers intuitive drag and drop to and from its components. For example, dragging an event from the day calendar up into the mini month navigator changes its date. Dragging a task from the list into the mini month calendar assigns a new deadline. New events can be created directly in the calendar by clicking on the time line. A task in today's calendar can even be assigned to a specific time by dragging it onto the time line.

Free Beta:
SmartDay Mac is available free for public beta and runs on any Mac with OS X 10.7 or above. It will retail for $29.99 on the Mac App Store. Access to mySmartDay.com is free to users of SmartDay Mac, SmartPad, or SmartNotes.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 15.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Smart Pad w/Cloud Sync 2.2 is $19.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Top Camera - Maserati of camera apps for the iPhone - on sale now

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Top Camera - Maserati of camera apps for the iPhone - on sale now - Published on 05/08/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Top Camera has an excellent HDR, High Dynamic Range, feature, Video recording in HD, an artistic Slow Shutter Mode with Light Trail effects, and the use of Folders for file management make it unique among camera apps. Additional features include: 4 Picture Quality settings, Burst Mode, 4 Camera Timer settings, Virtual Horizon, Exposure Box, Focus Box, Geotagging, picture alignment Grid, White Balance, Stabilizer, and Digital Zoom. Top Camera also supports operation in both portrait and landscape

Lodz, Poland - Top Camera has an excellent HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature, Video recording in HD, an artistic Slow Shutter Mode with Light Trail effects, and the use of Folders for file management make it unique among camera apps. Additional features include: 4 Picture Quality settings, Burst Mode, 4 Camera Timer settings, Virtual Horizon, Exposure Box, Focus Box, Geotagging, picture alignment Grid, White Balance, Stabilizer, and Digital Zoom. Top Camera also supports operation in both portrait and landscape orientations, includes iTunes File Sharing, and saves images to its internal Gallery, the iOS Photo Library, or both.

Top Camera incorporates a highly sophisticated, user-selectable focus zone feature, as well as user-selectable exposure zone. This means that iPhone photographers can optimize focus for any part of the photo, and set the exposure by locating that zone that produces the best results. Users just drag the purple box on the screen to the area they would like to have in the sharpest focus. Then they grab the green box and move it around in the frame to find the optimal exposure setting for the scene.

Top Camera's advanced HDR capabilities extend this feature to a range of iOS devices (any device with a built-in camera), overcoming Apple's limited support for only iPhone 4. According to Apple, "Now you can take great photos that capture a wider range of light intensity using the new high dynamic range (HDR) setting. After selecting HDR, just point a device at your subject and shoot. iPhone/iPad automatically captures three photos of the scene - each with different exposure levels. Then it layers the shots together to create a single photo that combines the best elements of each shot and more accurately represents the wide range of light in the scene. Both the regular shot and the HDR photo appear in the Camera Roll."

The app also incorporates a new Slow Shutter Mode that brings the compact iPhone even closer to the capabilities of a DSLR camera. Set to Automatic, Slow Shutter Mode produces a blur around moving objects, while maintaining a perfect exposure. Set to Manual, it allows shooting in extremely low light without a flash. And using the Light Trail setting produces pictures where moving lights, such as cars at night, produce time-lapse, trails of light.

General:
The app was designed in cooperation with Artist / Photographer David Scott Leibowitz to incorporate the highest quality in every detail. An extraordinary amount of time was spent designing the interface, to make it as beautiful and intuitive as possible:

* Both portrait and landscape orientation are supported
* File sharing integration
* Save images to the internal gallery, the iOS Photo Library, or both

Camera:
In shooting mode, the app provides a host of visual aids to help users take the best photograph possible. Controls are quick and intuitive: one indicator for focus, and a second indicator for exposure. The photographer now has the fine adjustment camera controls missing from the iPhone's camera:

* Video recording
* Live adjustments: contrast, brightness, saturation, temperature
* Shot stabilizer
* Timer mode
* Burst mode - rapid burst (about 6 photos per second) for low and medium quality
* HDR (High Dynamic Range) - Auto and Manual mode available, it uses the align algorithm
* Slow Shutter - Auto, Manual, and Light Trail Modes
* Digital zoom slider
* AWB - Auto White Balance with optional lock
* Screen Button
* Picture alignment grid
* Virtual Horizon - provides a visual leveling bar to keep images perfectly straight
* Exposure box
* Focus Box

Not A Basement Studio was started in January 2010 when Ken Luong, Khoa Nguyen, and Hieu Tran were getting bored with the university's curriculum and WoW's raiding nights. Being avid manga fan, they looked to the App Store for something to cure their boredom. That's when the idea for our first app came about. Four months of hard work and countless (actually 120) sleepless nights, Manga Rock, a manga reader for the iPhone, was released. Greeted with much love, and hate, the app received close to one million download on the app store. Two years later, joined by more like-minded and passionate people, we are now making awesome apps for the iOS App Store, making life better, one app at a time.

Fortunate Bear Announces Illuminate 1.2, the Mac Window Switcher

Fortunate Bear Announces Illuminate 1.2, the Mac Window Switcher - Published on 05/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California-based Fortunate Bear today announces Illuminate 1.2, an update to its application and window switcher for Mac OS X. Illuminate allows users to find the right window right when they need it. Illuminate also provides extensive and customizable shortcuts, so everything can be done via the keyboard. Version 1.2 improves the window switching functionality, adds tab support for Chrome, the ability to exclude certain applications, and options for sorting windows.

Castro Valley, California - Fortunate Bear today is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Illuminate 1.2, an update to its application and window switcher for Mac OS X. Illuminate 1.2 improves the window switching functionality by consolidating many of cycle modes into one, assigning it a more obvious keyboard shortcut, reducing the number of keystrokes, and allowing window switching without UI. The update also adds tab support for Chrome, the ability to exclude certain applications, and options for sorting windows. The update is free for existing customers, $9.99 for new customers, and is available from Fortunate Bear's online store or Apple's Mac App Store.

Cycle Windows, the primary way users cycle through windows and applications in Illuminate, has received a major overhaul in the 1.2 update. First, Cycle (All) Windows and Cycle (All) Tabs have been consolidated into one feature: Cycle Windows. Cycle Windows cycles through all the windows and tabs, but they're now grouped by application. The Cycle Windows keyboard shortcut default has been changed to Option-Tab, since it can now be used to switch between applications by cycling through windows and tabs. Additionally, sticky mode has been turned off by default, so the user can switch windows with fewer keystrokes. Finally, the user can specify a delay between when the keyboard shortcut is pressed and the UI shows up. This means the user can quickly switch between windows or tabs without the UI flashing up or having to wait on it.

The 1.2 update also adds other often requested features. In addition to being able to recognized and switch to Safari tabs, 1.2 adds the ability to see and switch between Google Chrome tabs. Also, the user can now exclude certain applications from showing up when switching between windows, and can also change the order the windows appear in: either by last accessed or alphabetical.

1.2 also includes some more minor updates. These include optimizing the layout the cycle windows UI so that more of the space is used by the window thumbnails instead of being wasted. Also, the update includes some stability fixes for crashing bugs.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* Intel based Macintosh
* 2.1 MB of disk space

Pricing and Availability:
Illuminate 1.2 is $9.99 (USD) and is available through Fortunate Bear's online store or Apple's Mac App Store. Review copies are available upon request.

Rayner Software releases NetShade 5

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed May 9, 2012 3:02 am (PDT)



Rayner Software releases NetShade 5 - Published on 05/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California-based Rayner Software LLC today released NetShade 5 for Mac, the latest update to its popular web anonymizer app. NetShade works by routing your Internet connection through an intermediary proxy server. This prevents your IP address from being sent to the sites you visit, providing a layer of privacy protection and a different geographical point of access. Version 5 is a major rewrite of the NetShade code across the app, as well as built on a new server architecture.

San Jose, California - Rayner Software LLC today is pleased to announce the release of NetShade 5 for Mac, the latest update to its web anonymizer app. NetShade works by routing your Internet connection through an intermediary proxy server. This prevents your IP address from being sent to the sites you visit, providing a layer of privacy protection and a different geographical point of access. NetShade provides access to a user-sourced list of public proxy servers, as well as its own dedicated servers. NetShade currently runs 6 proxies - 3 in the U.S. and 3 in the E.U.

New Features:
Version 5 of NetShade is built on a new server architecture, and logins and passwords are no longer required to access the NetShade proxy. The previous version relied upon the OS X keychain to store login and password information for proxies, but various system-level bugs often caused this method to fail. The elimination of passwords in version 5 removes this susceptibility to the keychain's bugs.

The proxy manager has been re-done, as has the overall application UI. Windows are now collapsible. Multiple proxies can be tested in a batch, and proxies can be automatically cycled on a timer. New UI sounds provide an audible representation of a server's round trip time when you test it.

Version 5 is a major rewrite of the NetShade code across both the app and the server. It requires 10.6 or higher, and is Intel only. Version 4 remains available for users on older systems.

Pricing:
Pricing for NetShade remains unchanged from previous versions. It is as follows:

$0 10 day free trial
$29 NetShade Registration, including one year of NetShade Proxy access
$19 Renew NetShade Proxy subscription for one year (not required to run the app)
$9 Upgrade from NetShade 4 to NetShade 5
$9 Enable iOS on your registration code

Independent game designer, Andrew Shapuro today introduces PlayBC 1.0, his brand new children's alphabet app for iOS. Both fun and effective, PlayBC is an interactive book filled with various objects and creatures. Each letter-panel invites children to play with what they see on the screen.

Kaliningrad, Russian Federation - PlayBC is a brand new alphabet app for kids that is both fun and effective. It is developed by an independent game designer Andrew Shapuro, a co-founder of ThunderStorm Games. The app is available on iPad and iPhone. Colorful graphics and clever mini-games provide hours of edutainment at its best. The app can be used as a game as well as an effective learning tool. Children can play it alone or study together with their parents.

The app itself is an interactive book filled with various objects and creatures. Each letter-panel invites children to play with what they see on the screen. When kids tap or slide the ball it jumps and bounces. When they touch a kitten it purrs or plays with a ball. If they tap the snail it hides in its shell and waits for some time just like a real one. Plains fly, animals make funny sounds and volcanoes erupt when kids tap, slide or tilt the device.

Objects on the screen encourage children to experiment. Everything they see can be interacted with in different ways. Every new panel starts with the pronunciation of the letter and the word shown in the picture. The voice-over is done by a speech professional so it is clear and easy to repeat. Navigation through the app is simple and toddler-friendly. There are only 4 big buttons that even small children can't miss. After kids familiarize with the alphabet there are several ways to test their knowledge in the form of quiz games. The graphics of PlayBC is full of bright colors, smooth animations and real world physics while sound effects are cute and fun.

"The development team behind PlayBC believes that education and entertainment should go hand in hand. Our test groups show that children enjoy playing PlayBC a lot. They learn the alphabet fast having fun along the way. With the worldwide release of our product we hope that even more little users will be able to learn the ABCs while interacting with our app." said Andrew Shapuro, designer of PlayBC.

Wed May 9, 2012 4:01 am (PDT)



Jumbuck Launches RaboDirect PRO12 Rugby Competition App - Published on 05/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jumbuck Entertainment, a leader in premium community-building mobile applications, today announced an exclusive partnership with the RaboDirect PRO12 rugby competition. The partnership includes the immediate availability of a full-featured iPhone application to enhance the interactivity and access fans can enjoy with their favourite teams, players, and other fans. The customized application is available for free on the Apple App store.

Melbourne, Australia - The new RaboDirect PRO12 app from Jumbuck inncludes a variety of interactive features that provide up-to-the-minute information on players and matches, direct links to social media channels, and opportunities for fans to engage around their hero players' own social media, and with each other. It is based on the unique social media integration features enabled with the Jumbuck HEROES(TM) platform.

The administrators, Celtic Rugby Ltd., and RaboDirect, main sponsors of the 12-team competition, which includes clubs in Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales, chose Jumbuck for its experience in building, hosting and managing safe, moderated social media networks for its global carrier partners. Jumbuck now leverages that expertise and capability through its new multi-faceted HEROES(TM) platform. The solution provides sports leagues and teams and entertainment rights owners a means to deliver deeper fan engagement and sponsor brand reach.

The resulting user-generated content (UGC) and celebrity-generated content (CGC) creates a compelling high-traffic destination, for brand participation, across a valuable audience demographic. These facets cumulate to provide increased monetization and revenue generation for all stakeholders. The HEROES platform is delivered within a state-of-the-art User Interface (UI) with intuitive navigation controls that put all the exciting content within easy reach.

"We are delighted to be working with Jumbuck to enrich the fan experience with RaboDirect PRO12. Their HEROES platform is ideally suited to deliver the type of dynamic content and deeper fan engagement we needed in a mobile app," said RaboDirect PRO12 CEO, John Feehan. "We have worked closely with Jumbuck to define a roadmap for even more exciting features which will make the RaboDirect PRO12 app one of the premier user and player engagement experiences in all sports."

"The RaboDirect PRO12 has proven itself to be in the top tier of world rugby competition and on the leading edge of marketing and fan engagement, so our solution is a natural fit for the type of two-way communication they want between fans and the teams. In addition to building fan loyalty, the Jumbuck platform benefits the competition sponsors, notably RaboDirect, through increased brand exposure and deeper fan interaction," said Andy Travers, VP of Product and Business Development at Jumbuck. "We see this as an exciting next step for Jumbuck's evolution as we take our business and technology assets in moderation, and community chat, into the fields of sport social media management and monetisation."

The new RaboDirect PRO12 app includes in the Version 1 release:
* The Match Centre - for comprehensive pre-match and live match information
* The Match Report area - for complete post-match analysis and stats
* Team-specific Club Views for in-depth information, player profiles and statistics for each of the 12 teams
* Unique Twitter integration that features 're-hydrated' conversations between players and facilitates real-time comments from fans
* All the above features are accessed through the Jumbuck mobile UI for quick links to RaboDirect PRO12 content and social media

Memory Cleaner 2.2 - Utility That Improves the Performance of Any Ma

Memory Cleaner 2.2 - Utility That Improves the Performance of Any Mac - Published on 05/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alice Dev Team today announces Memory Cleaner 2.2, an update to their best-selling computer memory utility for Mac OS X. Memory Cleaner improves the speed and responsiveness of a Mac computer by freeing wasted memory. Strongly recommended for power users who deal with many or very large files, Memory Cleaner is a one-touch solution to recoup as much RAM as possible for use. Version 2.2 sports a new menu bar icon, as well as now shows free memory in the menu bar.

Novosibirsk, Russian Federation - Alice Dev Team today is pleased to announce an updated version of their Memory Cleaner utility app for Mac OS X. Every time a file is opened, it continues to occupy some memory, even after it's closed. Our utility cleans out residue from these old files, freeing memory. The more memory is available, the faster apps will run.

Awarded 9 out of 10 stars by MacTech. According to statistics, it practically never froze or malfunctioned since initial launch nearly a year ago.

Starting June 1st, new more severe rules come into effect for Mac App Store developers. Apple created a sandbox system meant to increase user security. All new Mac apps must run inside this sandbox, and will have practically no possibility to affect the computer's behaviour. This means that app quality requirements will increase considerably. Memory Cleaner is the first app to pass Apple's moderation using the new rules. We predict that the number of apps will decrease by 30% after June 1st, since not all developers are capable of obeying the new rules.

Strongly recommended for power users who deal with many or very large files, Memory Cleaner is a one-touch solution to recoup as much RAM as possible for use. Memory Cleaner users typically recover 200 - 500 MB of Random Access Memory. This prevents slow-downs and crashes. Users only need to click on "Clean My Memory" - that's it!

A computer can sometimes freeze or stall for several seconds when using an app. The most common cause of this is the operating system searching for and freeing memory that's being wasted. Memory Cleaner is a fast and simple solution to avoid having to re-start your computer or buy more memory. More memory for apps results in a noticeably faster computer.

"There is no simple way to force OS X to let go of the memory that is inactive, and thus unavailable for use," stated CEO Stanislav Kuptsov. "Rather than allowing available RAM to drop to dangerously low levels, power users can easily run Memory Cleaner and keep their machines running smoothly."

System Requirements:
Memory Cleaner v.2.2 requires an Intel based Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.6 or greater and 0.5MB of hard disk space.

Pricing and Availability:
Memory Cleaner v.2.2 is $5.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Utilities category. Review copies are available upon request.
