Wallpaper Maker a simple tool to make custom wallpapers for iOS - Published on 04/18/14
There is a well known issue with iOS7 that it crops photos if they set as wallpapers. And there is no way to make the image fit into the screen. Independent developer, Oleg Kolokolov has announced Wallpaper Maker 1.2 for iOS. This simple app allows positioning of the images freely. Any scaling and any rotation is possible. You can even make up a photo collage using several images from your photo library if you want. A simple app serving a simple purpose.
Tomsk, Russian Federation - A friend of mine once told me that she doesn't like the way iOS7 auto-crops the photo when it is set as wallpaper because significant portions of the image appear cut off. And there is no way to make the image fit perfectly into the screen. After googling for a while I immediately stumbled into the fact that it's a common problem. Many people don't like this behavior in the newly released iOS7. Some even wanted to revert back to iOS6 just because of that.
It is related to the new parallax effect that was introduced in iOS7. The effect requires the background image to be a bit larger than the screen area. The worst cropping occurs if the image has different proportions than the iPhone's screen and that means - almost any image you might want to use as a wallpaper will be affected, even those taken with the iPhone itself.
Independent developer, Oleg Kolokolov has announced Wallpaper Maker 1.2 for iOS. This simple app allows positioning of the images freely. Any scaling and any rotation is possible with it. You can even make up a photo collage using several images from your photo library if you want. A simple app serving a simple purpose. The app has instantly received lots of positive feedbacks and was rated with 5 stars mostly. I really hope this app will be useful indeed for many.

LinkOptimizer 4.8.13 for Adobe InDesign Improves Startup Process

LinkOptimizer 4.8.13 for Adobe InDesign Improves Startup Process - Published on 04/18/14
Zevrix Solutions has announced LinkOptimizer 4.8.13, a maintenance update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer allows to reduce the size of InDesign links and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data. It also performs image color conversion and sharpening, converts file formats and more. The new version improves the app's startup process and ensures that LinkOptimizer menu in InDesign can be created when multiple versions of InDesign are open.
Toronto (ON) Canada - Zevrix Solutions has announced the release of LinkOptimizer 4.8.13, a maintenance update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.
The new version fixes an issue in which the LinkOptimizer menu, which lets users launch LinkOptimizer directly from InDesign, could not be created when multiple versions of InDesign were open. With previous versions, users had to close multiple InDesign copies to avoid an error during InDesign's startup.
LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:
* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK
* Apply color profile
* Merge layers and delete hidden ones
* Resave JPEG images as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop Action on each image
* Reimport images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position
As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround, and cut costs through faster processing.
Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix website for $259.95 USD (Light version: $179.95) as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 4.x users and $130 to upgrade from previous versions. LinkOptimizer is available for Mac OS X 10.5-10.9 and works with Adobe InDesign and Photoshop CS3-CC.

Common Core State Standards(R) Grade 3 & 4 Math Practice Test Launches
A new article has been published at prMac.
Common Core State Standards(R) Grade 3 & 4 Math Practice Test Launches - Published on 04/18/14
Bright Minds LLC's two new apps - Common Core State Standards Grade 3 Math Practice Test, and Common Core State Standards Grade 4 Math Practice Test - help kids improve their math proficiency in: Operations & Algebraic Thinking; Number & Operations in Base Ten; Number & Operations-Fractions; Measurement & Data; and Geometry. Both apps are designed with rich graphics and word problems that take advantage of the iPad's enhanced display area and native interactive functionality.
Cupertino, California - Teachers and parents who want to give kids an interactive and results-focused way to enhance their math proficiency in: Operations & Algebraic Thinking; Number & Operations in Base Ten; Number & Operations-Fractions; Measurement & Data; and Geometry can download two innovative new apps from Bright Minds LLC: Common Core State Standards(R) Grade 3 Math Practice Test and Common Core State Standards(R) Grade 4 Math Practice Test.
Designed with rich graphics and word problems that take advantage of the iPad's enhanced display area and native interactive functionality, both apps provide grade 3 and grade 4 students (respectively) with full coverage of the critical areas identified by the Common Core State Standards initiative, which are being adopted by various States and School Districts to test student proficiency:*
Grade 3: developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100; developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1); developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area; and describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.
Grade 4: developing understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends; developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers; understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry.
In addition, both apps feature two tests that provide a range of questions, from simple quizzes to challenging multi-step problems. The tests are automatically scored at the end - with incorrect answers conveniently highlighted - so that teachers and parents can easily identify specific learning areas that require further instruction and attention.
Aside from the apps' extremely robust and well-developed curriculum and instructional design, what makes them so remarkable is how easy and fun they make the learning experience - a factor that the developers say is critical for capturing the fleeting attention of young learners.
"Frankly, it doesn't matter how powerful or useful a learning app for kids might be, if they don't enjoy using it, then they'll tune out and switch off," commented a spokesperson from Bright Minds LLC. "That's why we spent so much time developing, testing and refining the overall interactive experience, so that kids would love using the app whether they were in the classroom, or in the comfort of their own home."
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.5 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Common Core State Standards Grade 3 & 4 Math Practice Test 3.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Kids Go Medieval With Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles for iOS
A new article has been published at prMac.
Kids Go Medieval With Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles for iOS - Published on 04/18/14
Jump App has introduced Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles - Premium 1.0, their new interactive sticker book app for iOS devices. Recommended for kids ages 5 - 9, this app encourages creativity and an interest in history as children create epic battlefields with sound and animation. There are 5 different scenes that can be populated by a variety of character stickers including knights, jousters, and dragons. There are also many medieval items such as catapults and battering rams.
Bialystok, Poland - Jump App has announced the release and immediate availability of Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles - Premium 1.0, their new interactive sticker book app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Recommended for kids ages 5 - 9, Sticker Play encourages creativity and an interest in history as children create epic battlefields with stickers.
"If your child loves the medieval times then you have to check out Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles," recommends Super Mommy to the Rescue (28 Mar 2014). "This is an amazing app that we seriously could spend hours playing. The possibilities are endless."
Feature Highlights:
* Colorful and kid-friendly User Interface
* Basic controls for intuitive and ease of use
* 5 different scenes to choose from
* 115 different knights, animated items, and sounds
* Ability to manipulate items (i.e. reduce, enlarge, rotate, and flip)
* Ability to save epic battlefields as an image to device
* Scenes are auto-saved
* Recommended for kids age 5 - 9 years old
* No in-app purchases
* Parental controls
* No rules - only free play and great fun!
Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles contains 5 different scenes where children can create their battles. After choosing a scene, kids can select from 115 different characters and medieval items to populate their scene. The choice of characters include knights in a variety of poses, a king, a queen, jousters, trumpeters, dragons, and many others. There are also several different medieval items including catapults, cannons, tents, flags, and battering rams. All of the characters and medieval items will play a relevant sound effect when tapped. They also include an animation. For example, the catapult tosses rocks when tapped.
"Jump App is well known for putting out quality apps that are open ended and stir creativity and imagination, and Sticker Play is one of my new favorites," says Jo Booth of Teachers with Apps (27 Mar 2014). "With all the pressures in education today, we tend to be goal oriented or data driven, and it is refreshing to see apps such as this that push the boundaries to think outside the box. If planning a PBL on medieval times or myths and legends, I would certainly consider using this app to plan out play visually, especially for costumes and sequence of events."
Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles allows children the ability to easily and intuitively manipulate the stickers. After selecting a sticker from the menu at the top of the screen, kids can move the sticker by simply dragging it in position. Each sticker can be resized by pinching it to make it larger or smaller. To flip the sticker around, kids can simply tap the image twice. When the child leaves the battle scene, all of the stickers are saved so the child can pick up from where they left off. Kids can also save screenshots of their battlefield to their device.
"I believe the real value of the app is in its opportunities for language and literacy development," comments Sarah DeBellis of The Appy Ladies (27 Mar 2014). "A lot of discussion can take place while children are 'playing' in the scenes, and the variety of medieval props and characters means there is a lot of opportunity for vocabulary development. Children who have difficulty with writing activities may find it easier to create a story as a series of scenes first. Although this app is aimed at younger children, I can see it being of use to older children with special needs. The subject matter is historical (with a bit of fantasy tossed in) and interesting, and the stickers and scenes are not too childish for older students."
Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles features a Parental Control section that allows adults to control the sound, screenshots, and the ability to clear all scenes. Social media and external App Store links are listed in this Parent Control section and are, therefore, inaccessible to kids. There is also a series of illustrations that demonstrate how to manipulate the stickers for reference.
"If you child likes to play with knights, this is the perfect app for them!" says Sebastian Bachorzewski, founder of Jump App. "Sticker Play: Knights, Dragons and Castles has no rules - only free play and great fun! Kids can really use their imagination and cultivate endless possibilities as they create their medieval battlefields. It's a great toy for every little knight. An Android version will be released very soon."
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 102 MB
Pricing and Availability:

Enterprise IT Managers Increase Controls for Mobile
A new article has been published at prMac.
Enterprise IT Managers Increase Controls for Mobile - Published on 04/18/14
According to a survey conducted in the fourth quarter of 2013 by the Enterprise Device Alliance, enterprise IT professionals are increasing the management control over their organizations' mobile devices. By exploiting mobile device management (MDM) capabilities, by emphasizing secure authentication, and by replacing laissez faire BYOD approaches with Corporate Owned - Personally Enabled (COPE) policies, they are securing employees mobile devices and protecting corporate resources.
Santa Clara, California - According to a survey conducted in the fourth quarter of 2013, enterprise IT departments are increasing their management control over the increasing number of mobile devices in their organizations. By exploiting the mobile device management (MDM) capabilities provided by Apple and other mobile OS providers, by emphasizing secure authentication using Microsoft Active Directory, and by replacing laissez faire BYOD approaches with Corporate Owned - Personally Enabled (COPE) policies, they are securing employees mobile devices and protecting corporate resources.
In the third annual survey conducted in November and December last year, IT managers responded to questions about the number and type of mobile devices in their organization, the applications used on these devices, and the policies their organizations were using to protect corporate and customer data on or accessible from those devices. The results were reported in a webcast on December 18, 2013 that is currently available on the Enterprise Device Alliance web site.
Among the findings:
* Windows 7/XP are still dominant across all organizations, but the respondents report that 10 percent of their users now have Windows 8 compared to one percent in 2012
* For the first time 100 percent of the respondents said they have Macs in their organization
* The iPhone continues to be the preferred smartphone in corporate environments, and the iPad is the preferred tablet
* More than 25 percent of the organizations are implementing or piloting COPE policies to deploy and manage their mobile devices. However, 41 percent have no plans regarding COPE
* Consistent with the results from 2012, 71 percent prefer using Microsoft Active Directory for authentication
* MDM is now widely used to administer mobile devices, in 60 percent of organizations compared with 38 percent at the end of 2012
* Enterprise Apps are replacing consumer Apps for the sake of security and increased productivity
"From the survey results we believe that organizations have moved beyond the ignoring and playing phase and are acting on the need to manage and secure the mobile devices that access their corporate and customer data," said T. Reid Lewis, president of the EDA and vice president of business development for Acronis. "The trends have been consistently toward more involvement of IT with mobile devices. "
The survey also showed that:
* Blackberry 10 and Windows phone are barely present - less than 5 percent adoption
* laptops continue to be the preferred system over desktop systems
* More enterprise applications - with email leading - are being installed on mobile systems
* IT's primary concerns about security are: devices get lost or stolen and government regulations related to securing data must be adhered to
* The number of organizations securing their data access with mobile file management has doubled year over year
In a webcast now available, T. Reid Lewis discussed the full results of the survey with Ryan Faas, a journalist, blogger and industry consultant. The webcast and a copy of the summary of the results are available at the link below.

* Ability to play games offline (access to the Internet is required to view movies)
The White Siberia adventure is divided into 24 parts corresponding to 24 squares of the board. Each part begins with an animated film that tells a portion of the story up until Naomi and Boris the Pilot experience some kind of difficulty. The player must solve a puzzle to help Naomi and the Pilot overcome their difficulty and for the story to continue and game to advance.
The player is given three opportunities to solve each puzzle, represented by 3 hearts on the screen. Players who solve the puzzle without losing any hearts win a heart that glows in the box for that game. If the player fails to solve the puzzle during all three opportunities, the adventure cannot continue and they have to repeat the game. If the player fails the same game a second time, Naomi offers the choice to repeat the game again or advance to the next field without solving the puzzle.
The adventure contains 4 levels of 6 games each. The last box of each level has a secret message that must be decrypted by keys that the player has collected during each of the level's previous games. Each time the players picks up a key, a yellow light bulb lights up over their square on the board. If the player has not picked up the key, they can return to that square's puzzle and play again.
When the game is solved, Naomi's piece advances to the next square on the game board and the film continues. The puzzles are designed to rely upon observation and reflection rather than speed and skill. However, if the player solves the puzzle within a certain time, they are awarded the clock achievement and a clock icon appears on the board. Users can repeat any game they have already played and attempt to collect all hearts, clocks, and light bulbs.
As an educational resource, the puzzles featured in White Siberia offer players an opportunity to develop a variety of skills including:
* Observation: Games to stimulate concentration and sustained attention
* Memory: Games to develop the ability to remember visual and sound elements
* Logic: Games to exercise the capacity to match, reasoning and deduction
* Orientation: Games to develop the ability to position and move in space
* Language: Games to exercise language skills: reading, understanding and writing
* Music: Games to stimulate the ability to hear and remember sounds or melodies

"Monster High has a wide variety of ways for fans to interact with its characters, but Mattel came to us because they wanted a mobile game experience different from anything else currently out there," said Philippe Erwin, CEO of BluBox. "We've merged the brand's unique twist with familiar match-three gameplay in Ghouls and Jewels, and think the result will not only entertain current fans, but expand the Monster High consumer base to completely new audiences."
In Ghouls and Jewels, you're the newest ghoul in school. You'll need help from your beasties to navigate the horrors of high school in this freaky fab puzzle game. Fan favorites like Frankie, Draculaura and Clawdeen will guide you through over 100 creeperific puzzles as you collect creatures for crushing power-ups, buy killer boosts, match jumpy jewels and gore-geous gems. But first, you'll style your Monster High avatar in hundreds of to-die-for fashions and accessories.

time2words for iOS - Minimalist Text Clock Is Now Donationware
A new article has been published at prMac.
time2words for iOS - Minimalist Text Clock Is Now Donationware - Published on 04/18/14
HELIOSapps has announced time2words 2.1 for iOS, its minimalistic clock that displays the approximate time as text, is now donationware and will be offered as a free app forever. time2words can transform any large screen display into video art and features portrait or landscape orientation, white letters on a black background or the reverse, and localization for eight languages. Viewers relax as the staggered text fades from "almost two thirty" to "two thirty" to "just after two thirty."
Munich, Germany - HELIOSapps has announced the release of time2words 2.1 for iOS, an update to its minimalistic, multilingual clock that displays the approximate time as text. Now offered as donationware and free forever, time2words can transform any large screen display into video art. Internally accurate to the second, time2words also features orientation in portrait or landscape mode, white letters on a black background or the reverse, and localization for eight languages. A marvelous objet d'art on any iDevice, viewers relax as the staggered text fades from "almost two thirty" to "two thirty" to "just after two thirty." By converting the time into an elegant text read-out, the pace of living decelerates and users are free from the tyranny of the sweep-second hand and digital readout.
Version 2.1 includes several performance optimizations and some adjustments for iOS 7. However, the most striking change is that the app has been converted to "donationware." When users like the app, they are given the opportunity to "tip the developers." These donations will help contribute to the app's further development.
Feature Highlights:
* time2words is now donationware and FREE forever
* Time can be displayed in eight languages: English (American or British), French, Spanish, Italian, German, Bavarian-German, Austrian-German, and Swiss-German
* Two display modes: white on black or black on white, which complements white iDevices perfectly
* Display brightness is adjustable
* Hour gong (can be switched on/off)
* Custom time can be set (convenient while traveling)
* Device's auto-lock feature can be deactivated (so that time2words is permanently switched on)
* Shows the current time with an accuracy of plus/minus two-and-a-half minutes
* Draws the line between day and night at 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight, respectively - either noon or midnight will light up
* With an iDevice and an Apple TV 2/3 (or a HDMI adapter), you can convert your TV into a stylish clock
* time2words runs as a Universal app on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch
time2words succeeds both aesthetically and functionally. Every two-and-a-half minutes, the modern display gracefully changes, and two, three, or four words light up from a permanent collection of 25. time2words will be appreciated by those who love great design and appreciate how inanimate objects in the environment impinge on behavior. Its unexpected, idiomatic method of conveying the time of day has the effect of de-emphasizing the passage of time. Therefore, people are more likely to enjoy one another's company, chat, and decompress with time2words on display.
"With the decision to make time2words 'donationware,' we are trying to explore new ways of generating revenues from our apps," says Jan Schulenberg of HELIOSapps. "In an ever tougher app market, it is not easy to stand out and get new customers to buy your app. On the other hand, just 'giving away' an app certainly is not a solid business model. So we decided to provide all potential new users to download the app free of charge and decide for themselves what the app is worth to them. Here at HELIOSapps, we strongly believe in the quality and value of our apps, and are certain users will as well."
Display Language Support:
* English (American), English (British), French, German, German (Northwest), German (Southeast), Bavarian German, Austrian German, Swiss German, Italian, and Spanish
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, iPod touch (3rd, 4th and 5th gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 1.6 MB
Pricing and Availability:
The clock that writes time - time2words 2.10 - is free (forever!) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

Self Defense App Reveals Practical Jiu Jitsu Techniques to Stop Bullying
A new article has been published at prMac.
Self Defense App Reveals Practical Jiu Jitsu Techniques to Stop Bullying - Published on 04/18/14
Pro Code Media has introduced Self Defence Trainer for iOS. Brought to life by 30+ year trained mixed martial artist, Professor Robert LeRuyet, Self Defense Trainer intertwines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Combat Sambo. This fusion is regarded as a military grade Jiu Jitsu, and taught to elite military and police forces around the world. Get video demonstrations of the exact punches, throws, kicks, holds and strikes that can be used to take an assailant down in the 10 most encountered attack situations.
Vancouver, Canada - It's 2:30 a.m. and Jim is walking to his car after a night out at a local pub with a few college buddies. A block away from his car, a couple of older teens notice his slight stumbles. They mark him as easy robbery prey and begin an unprovoked attack. While many under the same circumstances would fight back, most would be either beaten into submission or worse. But according to the creators of MMA Street Fighter - Punch Self Defense Trainer app, there is a way for Jim not to become a helpless statistic.
Brought to life by 30+ year trained mixed martial artist, Professor Robert LeRuyet, Self Defence Trainer intertwines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Combat Sambo. The fusion is regarded as a military grade Jiu Jitsu, and before Self Defense Trainer, it was taught to elite military and police forces around the world. Users get video demonstrations of the exact punches, throws, kicks, holds and strikes that can be used to take an assailant down in the 10 most encountered attack situations.
"These aren't your average UFC fight techniques. In fact, you probably won't see any of this on the next Ultimate Fighter Championship," said the creators of Self Defense Trainer. "Professor Robert LeRuyet teaches how to get out of real-life danger... which has nothing to do with the entertainment you see on television. While mixed martial arts moves are appropriate in the ring, they're definitely not as effective outside of it."
In the videos, LeRuyet covers how to deal with common attacks like the push, the headlock, the hay-maker and several other attacks. He shows users how to react quickly regardless of the time of day, weapons involved or surroundings. And it can all be learned within hours of getting the app.
Language Support:
Self Defense Trainer supports English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish languages.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 21.8 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Self Defense Trainer - Martial Arts Jiu Jitsu 1.0 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Sports category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Presence remote file access app substantially drops price
A new article has been published at prMac.
Presence remote file access app substantially drops price - Published on 04/18/14
Presence 3.0.1, the remote file access app for Mac and iOS, has had its price reduced to $4.99 for a three month subscription, with a 14 day free trial. Presence provides internet access to all of a Mac's files from iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC, plus file and folder sharing with other people and remote viewing through the Mac's camera. The Mac app has entered the App Store for the first time, and the iOS client has been updated with a fresh look for iOS 7.
Wellington, New Zealand - Presence, the remote file access app for Mac and iOS, has had its price reduced to $4.99 for a three month subscription, with a 14 day free trial. It previously had a one-off cost of $40. The Mac app has entered the App Store for the first time, and the iOS client has been updated with a fresh look for iOS 7.
Presence provides internet access to all of a Mac's files from iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC - securely and from anywhere. Files and folders can also be shared with other people. This is ideal for sending large files or for giving someone access to part of your Mac. You can also look through your Mac's camera from anywhere in the world.
Presence puts your Mac in the cloud rather than copying files elsewhere, making it a more flexible and private alternative to Dropbox and other cloud services.
What's New:
Presence's change to a subscription model has lowered the price of entry to $4.99, making the app accessible to more people. It previously required an outright purchase of $40 for a permanent licence.
When first installed, all features are free to try for 14 days. After this, an in-app purchase of a three month subscription is required to keep Presence fully-functional. This costs $4.99. Without the subscription, Presence is limited to browsing and taking photos through the Mac's camera. The subscription does not auto-renew, but users are reminded to resubscribe before it expires.
Also new is Presence's move to the Mac App Store; the Mac app was previously only available from the developer's web site.
Existing users with permanent licences do not pay subscription charges. They should continue to use the web site version of the app rather than switching to the App Store version. These users are still fully supported and will continue to receive updates, but permanent licences are no longer for sale.
Finally, the iPhone and iPad client has been updated for iOS 7 with a fresh, uncluttered look.
Features and Use:
Presence lets a user access their Mac's files from anywhere on the internet, using either the iPhone and iPad app, or by web browser from any Mac or PC. For web access, you get an easy to remember web address (URL). After logging in, you browse through your files much like you would on your Mac itself. Files can be viewed and downloaded, and you can even take photos through your Mac's camera.
File sharing is the other main feature. This is a quick way to send files that are too large to email, but Presence also allows you to share whole folders for the receiver to browse at their leisure, downloading individual files as required. Shares are created either from the Mac itself - right from the Finder - or remotely using web access or the iOS app. Shares are sent as a web link, and are optionally password-protected.
A host of other features complete the picture, with Spotlight searches, Quick Look, email for smaller files and an image slideshow. Files can be uploaded to the Mac, even by people you share with (if you allow this).
The Presence iOS app can transfer files from the Mac to other apps on the device and back again, providing a gateway from other apps to the outside world (in apps that support this). Files can also be copied to the device for offline viewing.
Using Presence is fast, especially compared to screen sharing. Setup is easy and can be done by the ordinary user, requiring no special knowledge.
Presence is secure, using https - the same technology used for online banking and online shopping. It is also private compared to cloud services like Dropbox, as your files are not copied into the cloud to a third party server. Those concerned about online snooping may find this reassuring. Presence is not affected by the recent Heartbleed security vulnerability.
History:
Presence was first released in 2008, and changed its name from FarFinder to Presence in 2011.
System Requirements:
* OS X 10.9 or later
* 93.3 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Presence 3.0.1 (application) is free and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Utilities category. A three month subscription is available for only $4.99 (USD).

Falling Bird Flapping Downwards
A new article has been published at prMac.
Falling Bird Flapping Downwards - Published on 04/18/14
FlipBox Games has introduced Falling Bird 1.0, their next game for iOS. The game stars Tamatori, a ninja bird in training. His mission is to collect as many scrolls as possible while avoiding deadly sharp spikes. The game uses similar mechanics to FlipBox Games previous release, Falling Fox. Inspired by Flappy Bird, this is one game that doesn't go along with the 'Easy' department as well. Featuring 10 levels of difficulty, the game's speed will increase as the player descends deeper.
Singapore - FlipBox Games, a husband and wife indie game developer team, has announced the release of Falling Bird, their next game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Falling Bird stars Tamatori, a ninja bird in training. His mission is to collect as many scrolls as possible while avoiding deadly sharp spikes. One hit and it's game over.
Falling Bird takes inspiration from the recently number 1 hit game, Flappy Bird. Instead of making a direct clone like most developers, FlipBox Games decided to implement the falling mechanics from their previous game Falling Fox, with the randomness of Flappy Bird's obstacles. To kick it up an extra notch, the game's speed will increase as the player descends deeper. Altogether there are 10 levels of difficulty.
The team has also included 5 cool costumes that can be unlocked by playing the game, with more coming in the near future.
"We hope you enjoy playing this game as much as we enjoy making it. It's simple yet very challenging. As always you can follow our development progress by liking our Facebook page or following us on Twitter"

Falling Bird Flapping Downwards - Published on 04/18/14
FlipBox Games has introduced Falling Bird 1.0, their next game for iOS. The game stars Tamatori, a ninja bird in training. His mission is to collect as many scrolls as possible while avoiding deadly sharp spikes. The game uses similar mechanics to FlipBox Games previous release, Falling Fox. Inspired by Flappy Bird, this is one game that doesn't go along with the 'Easy' department as well. Featuring 10 levels of difficulty, the game's speed will increase as the player descends deeper.
