WeezLabs Enhances SamsungCNC Machine Tools Mobile App

prmac.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:06:23 +0000

May 17, 2013

Los Angeles, California - WeezLabs, Inc. recently announced the release of SamsungCNC 1.1 for iOS. It's a free mobile app that greatly assists machinists and engineers in finding Samsung CNC Machine Tools, including lathe machines and vertical machines, according to their needed specs. Now also included in the app is a Dealer Lounge which helps in obtaining the recommended tools.

When Samsung began their machine tool division in 1989 they made it their mission to "locate, secure and deliver the most appropriate machine tools for the job". Dynamic International originally created the SMEC iPad/iPhone app to help machinists and engineers to find such high-end SamsungCNC machine tools that would meet specs, but Dynamic International found that not only could the the original design of the SMEC app be taken further, but having submitted their app to the Apple iStore several times with no success of acceptance, they also found they needed help in getting app design up to par with the Apple App Store requirement.

WeezLabs specializes in the design of mobile applications for iOS and Android smart devices and their portfolio was a clear indicator to Dynamic International that WeezLabs was able to take their SMEC machine tools app concept and extend its feature set. Dynamic International contacted WeezLabs and the app was quickly enhanced, made more graphically appealing and transformed into a spec assisting tool that machinists and engineers should cherish. Due to the WeezLabs programming design, it was also quickly accepted by the Apple App Store.

Dynamic International found that working with WeezLab was as much help as it was a pleasure. Kevin Layo of Samsung MachineTools said of the team at WeezLabs, "Every night I sent the guys at WeezLabs a new update for my
app and every morning it was implemented flawless. I highly recommend them for making your App a reality, great prices and fast work."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 2.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SamsungCNC 1.1 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Business category.

Tiny Utopia Launches Soda Star

prmac.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:06:17 +0000

May 17, 2013

Austin, Texas - Tiny Utopia, LLC today announces the launch of its newest mobile game, Soda Star 1.0, a fast-paced sorting puzzle game for ages eight to adult. It is currently available for $1.99 USD on the iTunes, Android, and Google Play stores.

Soda Star lets players control a soda bottling plant gone haywire as they grow their soda empire by unlocking levels in a constantly expanding bottle factory. Players sort bottles and pack them into similarly colored crates by switching levers to ensure bottles get on the right conveyer belt. They progress through increasingly challenging levels that reveal new and rare items such as magic soda, coffee breaks as well as pitfalls and difficulties.

"We're really excited about the launch of Soda Star," said Tiny Utopia Founder and Lead Developer Neal Nellans. "Soda Star expands Tiny Utopia's audience by including younger players for our indie games. While there are lots of mobile games for preschool children and adults, the preteen audience has not had many appropriate options that are also cool. Parents want positive games for their children but we wanted to make a game that was fun and challenging for adults as well. Soda Star is fun for everyone."

While the audience might be new, Tiny Utopia's seamless design and dazzling visual art remains. Every bottle and factory is rendered in beautiful 3D graphics by the powerful Unity 3D game engine. The game features stunning cartoon-like special effects and an original stereo soundtrack with real cartoon recordings. Soda Star demoed and received rave reviews at the SXSW Gaming Expo in March.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad

Learn Mathematics with PocketCAS 3.2 - Update Plus 50 Percent Discount

prmac.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:25:28 +0000

May 17, 2013

Windeck-Rosbach, Germany - EUROCOMP has announced PocketCAS 3.2, an update to its powerful mathematics software for iPad and iPhone. PocketCAS is a very advanced computer algebra system which makes iOS devices capable of calculating mathematical problems in just seconds. The main target groups are scientists, engineers, teachers and students. Version 3.2 adds several new features like implicit plotting and prepares support for iCloud syncing. It is discounted by 50 percent for a short while.

PocketCAS is a very advanced computer algebra system which turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a device capable of calculating complicated mathematical problems in just seconds. The main target group are scientists, mathematicians and students. PocketCAS makes their everyday work a lot easier. Apart from calculating symbolic derivatives and taylor series expansions as well as plotting cartesian and polar functions, PocketCAS computes symbolic integrals, simplifies expressions and does advanced linear algebra. A vast amount of more than 500 functions enable PocketCAS to solve almost every mathematical problem.

The integrated function plotter makes it easy to visualize formulas. Users can graph cartesian as well as polar functions without having to worry about plot settings. Ease of use has always been EUROCOMP's main goal developing software. PocketCAS ships with nine tutorials. There's also an easily accessible and clear searchable list of all available functions. The list is combined with examples and syntax information for almost every available function.

Almost every object in PocketCAS can be printed or exported as PDF or image. Be it the whole document, a plot, an entry or just a single formula - it can be exported for use in other applications.

Special care has been taken in order to make text input a breeze. When working with a CAS, there's a lot of different functions one might want to enter (PocketCAS is a lot more powerful than a regular scientific calculator). The iPhone's touchscreen is not very large and as much space as possible should be available for the calculations. PocketCAS therefore introduces a special mathematical keyboard with different sections. When tapping a function's key, it will be entered including braces, with the cursor in between. If text was selected prior to pressing a function key, the previously selected text will automatically be used as the argument for the entered function.

PocketCAS makes it easy to compose physical formulas. Built-in constants and physical units allow to enter formulas from a textbook without having to substitute constants manually. Entering large matrices by hand can be a huge pain, so PocketCAS' visual matrix editor assists with this task.

PocketCAS is available in two different versions. For many uses, the free version PocketCAS lite may be sufficient. It serves as a great scientific calculator and allows to plot one function at a time. PocketCAS pro adds more sophisticated CAS functions like symbolic integration and advanced linear algebra and also plots multiple functions at once.

Language Support:
English and German

Device Requirements:
* iPad, iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 31.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PocketCAS lite 3.2 is free and PocketCAS pro 3.2 is discounted to $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies). Both applications are available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. For more detailed information, please have a look at the PocketCAS homepage. Qualified reviewers are welcome to ask for a free promo code. Should you find PocketCAS worth a note, we'd be more than happy to receive a short reference via email. The application icon, screenshots and more press material are available from the application's website.

Animal Alphabet Book is a Stylish Learning App for Kids Ages 2-5

prmac.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:45:17 +0000

May 17, 2013

allahassee, Florida - Anna and Ava, LLC is excited to announce that its Animal Alphabet Book 1.0 app has been approved for release in all regions. Developed by a father and his two daughters, Animal Alphabet Book is a stylish new learning app designed to help young children learn the alphabet in an easy and entertaining way.

Animal Alphabet Book was developed by Aaron Williams as a supplementary teaching material to help his daughter learn the alphabet. The app helps children learn the alphabet by sight and sound recognition. Each letter is associated with a colorful retro-inspired animal illustration. The interface is child-friendly, allowing children to simply 'turn' the pages with just a swipe of their finger. The alphabet is 'read' by one of three voice options, two of which are Williams' own daughters.

Animal Alphabet Book features vibrant colors and outstanding graphic design. Children can choose from three audio voices: a pre-school teacher, a 7-year old, or a 5-year old (letting children hear other children read the book makes it very relatable and is encouraging). They also have the choice of three learning styles: "A" (the selected voice reads the letter sound only); "A is for Alligator" (the selected voice reads the letter sound and the associated animal word); or "Alligator starts with" (the selected voice asks the user what letter the animal word begins with, leaving a pause for the user to supply their own answer). Once the user has chosen their preferred voice and style settings, the user activates the audio voice by 'turning the page' or by pressing on the letter on the screen. The sound can also be turned off when silence is preferred.

"My goal in developing Animal Alphabet Book was to create an interactive alphabet app that was easy for very young children to use, yet also stylish enough for older children and parents to appreciate," said Williams.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 55.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Animal Alphabet Book 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Education category.

i-Free Innovations and Creat Studios Send Users on a Dream Cruise

prmac.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:06:21 +0000

May 17, 2013

Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation - i-Free Innovations, a leading Russian mobile game and apps producer, together with Creat Studios, a successful developer of games for PlayStation, announce the release of Dream Cruise 1.7 for iPad, an adventure game that lets users travel the world on a luxury liner in search of a missing millionaire and his yacht. Dream Cruise combines a rich plotline and reactive gameplay with a new approach to simulation games. Unlike other business simulators, players must constantly manage their own assets (in this case an ocean-going yacht) using arcade-like gameplay; there's no need to wait for hours or days for an upgrade or new facility to progress through the game.

At the game's outset, a fabulous ocean-going yacht belonging to your millionaire relative has disappeared, and you must find it at whatever cost. In the course of your investigation, you'll get to know charming assistants, visit dozens of cities and holiday resorts, and meet famous stars as you step by step come closer to solving the mystery of the missing ship.

The main action takes place as you sail from port to port, and your goal is to earn as much money as possible as you go. To do this, you must monitor passengers' preferences, upgrade the on-board shops that are most interesting to them, close unsuccessful stores, fill empty shelves with new goods, and clear out the ship's inventory.

The more your passengers are happy with the quality of goods and services, the more money will accrue to your coffers. When you're in port, you can also upgrade and redecorate the ship using your acquired wealth. Success will attract celebrities to the ship - Michael Jackson may even return from the grave to help you celebrate your good fortune. Players can also complete a number of different entertainment-related tasks.

The key to success on your Dream Cruise is to make fast decisions. To make this as easy as possible, the developers have ensured that any action in the game can be performed in a single tap, so you can react quickly without neglecting important financial decisions.

The colorful graphics take a cartoon approach that will appeal to all ages. As you travel the world, your location changes, and the passage of time is simulated through a dynamic alternation of day and night.

Dream Cruise is available for download on the App Store worldwide. Download your copy today!

Ruff's Bone Receives Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice Award

May 17, 2013

San Francisco, California - Wanderful, Inc. has received the prestigious Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review for its interactive storybook, Ruff's Bone. Ruff's Bone 1.1 is the eighth title, originally published by Living Books but enhanced and updated for iOS devices by Wanderful, and the third of these titles to receive the coveted Editor's Choice Award.

Children's Technology Review honored Ruff's Bone in its May 2013 issue. Reviews measure ease of use for children, educational value, entertainment value, design features and overall product value. Ruff's Bone received a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars. The review said Ruff's Bone "is a good book meets solid interactive design, in this updated iPad edition of the classic Living Book."

The interactive story tells the tale of Ruff who eagerly awaits his Sunday bone given to him each week by his master, who throws it for Ruff to fetch. In searching for his bone, Ruff visits 12 pages each containing an exotic location filled with objects that are fun and entertaining to interact with. This includes a trip into a dark sky and a hunt on the moon to find it. His determined search leads us down a deep, dark hole, into a cave, high up into the clouds, to the bottom of the ocean and even up a ladder to another planet before Ruff finally finds his way home - with his bone.

"We are thrilled that Wanderful has been honored with the Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice Award" said Mickey W. Mantle, Chief Executive Officer at Wanderful. We are especially pleased to receive our third of these wards for Ruff's Bone, in addition to the awards we previously received for Arthur's Teacher Trouble and Harry and the Haunted House. Plus we were pleased that CTR recommended Wanderful's Tortoise and the Hare app as well."

Ruff's Bone was written by Oscar-nominated Eli Noyes, whose work includes projects for Sesame Street, HBO, Scholastic, Nickelodeon, MTV, Pixar, Disney and Oxygen Media.

As with other Wanderful interactive storybooks, Ruff's Bone comes in English and Spanish, with a 66 page Classroom Activities guide. The Classroom Activities guide is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and made available to teachers to help them integrate the App into their teaching curricula.

All of Wanderful's Apps are available on the Apple App Store and coming soon for Android devices.

Originally introduced in 1992 by Broderbund Software, Living Books were the industry's first highly interactive storybooks that were embraced by educators, praised by parents and cherished by children. Twenty years later, Wanderful CEO Mickey W. Mantle (who as Broderbund CTO oversaw the technology development of Living Books) has assembled key members of the original team, including Living Books creator Mark Schlichting, to re-invent the wildly popular interactive storybooks. The team has built an entirely new multi-platform engine to drive the story experience on the latest tablets, phones and computers, resulting in interactive storybook apps designed to meet the high standards of today's generation of digital kids and provide educational and production values that are not seen in Apps today (including original music produced by professional musicians, professional voice talent, plus animation and sound effects rivaling movie studio productions).

San Francisco, California - Loop today is proud to announce the global availability of its new iPad and iPhone app for businesses to get real-time customer feedback in the App Store and website. With Loop, businesses can survey their customers immediately on site instead of after the fact.

The business presents the customer with a tablet or places it in a visible location. "It's just too much work for most people to pull out their phones, type in a code, or remember after the fact. We created a way for people to interact with something that's right there," said Loop Co-Founder & CEO Rajit Marwah.

After downloading the app onto an iPad or iPad mini, the business can choose among survey and question templates depending on their industry or create their own. For now the mobile surveys are limited to only one page or five questions. "Consumers respond best to a simple, lightweight experience," explained Marwah.

A tablet is not required. Businesses can create a mobile survey on their phone and share it via a link, email, text, Twitter, or Facebook. All customer data is securely stored in the cloud. Once a survey is completed, the results and notifications are sent immediately to the phones of the managers and owners. From their smartphone the business can respond privately and view graphs. If there is no internet connection, the tablet still captures the customer responses and transmits them when a connection is re-established.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 8.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Loop - Mobile Surveys 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.
