Pterosaur Design Releases Visual Task Timer 2.0 - Published on 11/15/18

Pterosaur Design announces Visual Task Timer 2.0, a major update to its popular countdown timer for iOS devices. Visual Task Timer is designed to help public speakers, teachers, students and others track presentation times. It includes a number of features designed specifically with public speakers in mind including a customizable low time warning, an overtime clock, settings to prevent the device's lock screen from hiding the clock, and an easily visible, high-contrast display.

Washington, District of Columbia - Pterosaur Design is pleased to announce the release of Visual Task Timer 2.0, a major update to its popular countdown timer for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Visual Task Timer is designed to help public speakers, teachers, students and others track presentation times. It includes a number of features designed specifically with public speakers in mind including a customizable low time warning, an overtime clock, and settings to prevent the device's lock screen from hiding the clock. The large, high-contrast time display uses subtle color changes to signal time used and is easily visible from a distance.

In the three years since Visual Task Timer was released in the Apple App Store, it has become extremely popular with public speakers and educators as well as parents interested in helping their children manage time on tasks. The app has over 250 positive ratings in the App Store and an overall rating of 4.5 stars.

Version 2.0 of Visual Task Timer includes a fully reimagined user interface designed to look great on the latest model iPhones and iPads featuring rounded corners and narrower bezels. The new release also includes full support for Siri Shortcuts under iOS 12, allowing users to use voice commands to start a new timer, check the timer status, or pause and restart a running countdown.

Powerful automation features including support for Shortcuts and URL schemes allow users to manage the timer using Apple's new Shortcuts app or other iOS automation tools like Pythonesta, Scriptable, and Launch Center Pro. Finally, a Today widget provides easy access to the timer from a device's lock screen or Today view.

Visual Task Timer is 100% free and includes no advertising or user tracking. Its continued development is supported through a fully voluntary shareware model. If they choose to do so, users may support the app by buying a small in-app purchase through the Apple App Store.

App creator Erik Heitfield explains the origins of Visual Task Timer as follows. "I'm frequently required to give public speeches or make presentations. I'm also quite nearsighted, which makes it difficult for me to read wall clocks from a distance. As a result, I've long sought a simple timer app that I could just set down on a nearby desk or podium to help keep my talks from running too long. No app I could find quite fit the bill. Some are beautiful but difficult to read. Many let my phone's lock screen blank the display after a few minutes. And as far as I can tell, none provide an option for an audible low-time reminder. I designed Visual Task Timer to meet my own needs, but I've since found that it can serve many other useful functions."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 11.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 12.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Visual Task Timer 2.0 is free and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

RationalPlan 5.0 Offers Improved Web Interface and a Stronger PM

A new article has been published at prMac.

RationalPlan 5.0 Offers Improved Web Interface and a Stronger PM - Published on 11/15/18

RationalPlan 5.0 is a major release that comes with new features for the web-based interface and a more powerful project scheduling engine. The product is now able to handle those types of project plans in which certain tasks need to be delayed as much as possible. On the other hand the web interface of both the Cloud service and the Server product gets improved with several features.

Craiova, Romania - RationalPlan 5.0 is a major release that comes with new features for the web-based interface and a more powerful project scheduling engine. The product is now able to handle those types of project plans in which certain tasks need to be delayed as much as possible. On the other hand the web interface of both the Cloud service and the Server product gets improved with several features. Users with licenses older than one year are entitled to upgrade them with a 50% discount.

RationalPlan is a project management software suite that is available either as stand alone products or as a project management cloud service. It is used by individuals and by companies that need a distributed solution with concurrent access from multiple users.

Important changes for RationalPlan 5.0

RationalPlan can now handle As Late As Possible (ALAP) constraints for those tasks that need to to start as late as possible relative to the project end date. The entire scheduling engine was transformed to support this type of planning. Even the critical path detection algorithm was adjusted to comply with this major change.

Since certain parts of the application are depending on Java technology this major release also added support for Java 9 and Java 10. This is a big step forward to maintain the compatibility with the latest Java versions in order to avoid software vulnerabilities.

Starting with this release the developers of RationalPlan removed the support for the old .xrp files. This file type storage was deprecated and it is no longer being used.

For the online and server side segment:
* Critical path functionality
* Labels for task bars on Gantt chart
* A hover icon and a contextual menu for the task tree grid (Gantt & WBS)
* Project code and Client name within the email notifications
* Bug fix: do not show the work on tasks in web if the user does not have the rights to see the resources
* Bug fix: allow negative lags on web
* Bug fix: guard against non-working constraint dates for dependency driven tasks
* Bug fix: guard against the case when the project estimated start is non-working

For the On-Premise products:
* Added resource data filter and project status filter for Timesheet view
* In Timesheet view if a filter is applied for All projects then filter the resources
* Bug fix for Ukrainian translation
* Bug fix for budgets on Single version

For the web based interface of both the Cloud service and the Server product new functionality was added. Users are now able to see the critical path of the project within the Gantt chart view.

Also they can customize the information that can be displayed around the task bars. We are talking about details for the tasks like: task name, start and end date, completion percentage, duration, work, assigned resources or even project code. These data can be rendered in custom positions: left, right, top, bottom or center. Each user will have its own custom configuration and this is useful to have a better overview of the project.

The WBS and Gantt tables will present a shortcut icon when the user hovers the mouse over a task. This provides a fast access to a set of contextual actions(indent, outdent, move up, move down etc.) related to that task.

Within the email notifications that are sent to resources two new fields were added: the Project code and the Client name. We are talking about the automatic deadlines and late tasks notifications and the My Assignments table. This offers users a better overview of the context in which they are working.

For the On-Premise products in the Timesheet view there were added new filters. Users are now able to filter resources by custom data values and by the project status. Sometimes it is useful to focus only on those resources from a given department, or on those resources that are working on projects with the "In progress" status. If a filter is applied for All projects then the application will also filter the resources and not just the assigned tasks.

RationalPlan is offered in two flavors:

RationalPlan Cloud: A monthly payment project management solution offering a centralized place to manage the company's projects while offering collaboration through concurrent access for multiple users; a Free tier is also available

RationalPlan On-Premise: A suite of products for those that prefer to have the software installed on their machines.

RationalPlan Single Project is an alternative to Microsoft Project and the perfect solution for novice or accidental project managers.

RationalPlan Multi Project is a project management software for multiple projects, projects that are interconnected through dependencies and share common resource.

RationalPlan Project Server is the On-Premise version of RationalPlan Cloud that can be installed on users hardware.

RationalPlan Project Viewer is a free project viewer, the solution for anyone to view projects details.

RationalPlan 5.0: https://www.rationalplan.com/projectmanagementblog/rationalplan-5-0-improved-web-interface/


RationalPlan is a project management software that follows the general recommended guidelines from project management domain. It has been developed to help small and middle sized companies to plan and manage their projects. Our goal is to make the process of planning projects as short and as straightforward as possible, guiding novice project managers through each step but offering enough tools to those more experienced.

A new article has been published at prMac.

True-story adventure game Cosmic Top Secret out now on the App Store - Published on 11/15/18

Indie game studio Those Eyes and film studio Klassefilm today announced Cosmic Top Secret, its true-story adventure game for iOS devices. Best described as a hybrid of reality and fantasy told in an abstract papercraft world, Cosmic Top Secret has been seven years in the making. The game tells the incredible true-life story of Trine, and her journey to discover more about her parent's involvement with the Danish Intelligence Service during the Cold War.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Independent game studio Those Eyes and film studio Klassefilm today announced that its true-story adventure game Cosmic Top Secret is now available for download on the App Store. Best described as a hybrid of reality and fantasy told in an abstract papercraft world, Cosmic Top Secret has been seven years in the making. The game tells the incredible true-life story of 'T' (Trine, the game's lead developer) and her journey to discover more about her parent's involvement with the Danish Intelligence Service during the Cold War.

As part of the game's production, Trine interviewed her parents and their former colleagues for 7 years, building a portfolio of over 100 hours of video and audio footage. The game's dedication to accurately depicting Cold War events is such that Trine arranged meetings at the Headquarters of the Danish Military Intelligence to secure clearance on the use of the interviews and certain documents within the game.

In Cosmic Top Secret, players flick, roll and glide their way across six distinct levels, uncovering clues and completing secret dossiers by gathering over 400 collectables. Along the way, players meet a cast of colourful and unforgettable characters including Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The title has already won 3 prestigious awards for storytelling and game quality at high-profile events including AMaze Berlin, IndieCade LA and IDFA DocLab 2017. Cosmic Top Secret was also a finalist for this year's prestigious Indie Game Festival's Nuovo Award; an award that recognises distinctly artistic titles.

Cosmic Top Secret aims to bridge space between video games and documentaries by defining itself as a "Docu-game" that will appeal to any gamer. Core video game players will welcome the traditional interactive video game elements including puzzles, challenges, map navigation and interaction with other characters while less-seasoned gamers can enjoy the game's rich narrative based on documents, audio and video relating to the Cold War era.

The game's original soundtrack was also composed by Danish musician Bjorn Svin, whose tracks have had thousands of streams across all significant streaming platforms.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 1.2 GB

Pricing and Availability:
Cosmic Top Secret Game is $5.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. For more information, please contact Theo Tsangaris.
