Wecapser Launches Augmented Reality Social Network for iOS - Published on 06/23/15
Paris based Wecapser has announced Wecapser 1.0, its mobile social networking app for iOS devices. Using Augmented Reality (AR), Wecapser allows users to create and share multimedia content via virtual geolocated containers called caps. Caps are geotagged virtualized containers visible in 3D through the smartphone screen using Augmented Reality. Caps are anchored to a specific location helping Wecapser to concentrate all the memory on the place where the caps have been created.
Paris, France - Wecapser has announced the release of Wecapser 1.0, its mobile social networking app for iOS devices. Using Augmented Reality (AR), Wecapser lets users create and share multimedia content through virtual geolocated containers called caps. Caps are anchored to a specific location helping Wecapser to concentrate all the memory on the place where the caps have been created.
"Caps are a new private, secure and fun way of sharing multimedia, recommendations, moments and points of interests," said Jerome Boisson, Co-founder and CTO "Caps can also be public, and thus viewed and shared with every user of the app."
Features:
* Reliable, private and really secured.
* Truly innovative and fun new way of sharing.
* Share multimedia content and recommendations.
* Evolutive and flexible.
* It's really easy to use.
"And Wecapser is a clean social network!" Boisson added. "Our users' privacy really matters, so we won't sell any personal information, pictures, etc... Your data is yours and yours only".
What is augmented reality?
Augmented Reality is a technology that blends, in real time, real-life images or videos streams and digital media, such as 3D objects, sounds, videos.
"We are confident about our business model and our growth potential." Says George Vessiere, Co-founder and CEO. "Our B2C and B2B platform will be released in Q4 2015. According to a 2014 report from Juniper Research, annual revenues from mobile AR services and applications has already generated more than $1 billion."
Why Wecapser?
Wecapser was created because we believe that our lives are all about places, emotions and moments, and we felt that there was room for a social network built around those values. "Imagine parents in 2025 with their 10 year old daughter passing by the hospital where she was born. They decide to re-open the caps which contain the memories of her first moments. Imagine their joy and happiness as they go through that caps again." Says George Vessiere. "Some moments and places are life changing events and some are not, but Wecapser has been created to keep track of all of them, the public and the private ones."
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 6, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 36.2 MB
Pricing and Availability
Wecapser 1.0 is free, and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. Coming soon on Android devices through the Google Play Store.

BatchOutput PDF 2.2.14 Improves Print Workflow Flexibility - Published on 06/23/15
Zevrix Solutions has released BatchOutput PDF 2.2.14, a feature update to its solution to automate PDF printing with watched hot folders on OS X. With BatchOutput PDF, users only need to drop PDFs into hot folders and the files will be printed automatically using the assigned output preset, saving users the time and effort of printing the files manually. The new version adds an option to process files under workflows where PDF files initially arrive to hot folders with an alternative file extension.
Toronto (ON) Canada - Zevrix Solutions has announced the release of BatchOutput PDF 2.2.14, a feature update to its PDF printing automation solution for Mac OS X. The software allows users to print PDF files from watched hot folders, saving the time and effort of opening and printing each document manually.
The new version adds a preference to move non-PDF files to the errors folder or leave them in hot folder. The latter option lets users utilize workflows where PDF files initially arrive to hot folders with an alternative file extension, which can happen when remote workers upload PDF files via an FTP connection.
"This is one of those apps that you never knew you needed until you spend a day using it," says Glen Saville, a designer from Hornchurch, UK. "If you handle a large number of PDFs daily, this will save you a lot of time, without a doubt."
BatchOutput PDF offers reliable, robust and affordable solution for users of any trade, whether it's print, publishing, graphic design, education or financial sector:
* Print PDF files automatically from watched hot folders
* Create hot folders for different print settings
* Work with other programs while BatchOutput PDF runs in the background
* Detailed output history
* Specify password for encrypted PDFs
* Save time and hassle of printing each PDF manually
In addition to the single-user version of the program, Zevrix also offers BatchOutput PDF Server that can serve unlimited users on a network.
Pricing and Availability:
BatchOutput PDF can be purchased from Zevrix website for $24.95 USD (Server version $99.95), as well as from authorized resellers and Mac Apple Store. The update is free for licensed users of version 2. Trial is also available for download. BatchOutput PDF requires Mac OS X 10.5-10.10 (some features require Mac OS X 10.7 or later).

Mac Backup Guru 5.0 Offers Improved Data Backup Options for Mac OS X

Mac Backup Guru 5.0 Offers Improved Data Backup Options for Mac OS X - Published on 06/23/15
Auckland based MacDaddy has announced Mac Backup Guru 5.0, an important update to their innovative backup app for Mac OS X. Mac Backup Guru offers direct drive cloning, synchronization, and incremental snapshots of data. Users can backup small amounts of files and data, or entire drives full of data. Version 5.0 offers an improved interface, faster and more stable cloning ability, more intuitive scheduling, improved incremental snapshots, and better performing background synchronization.
Auckland, New Zealand - MacDaddy has announced the release of Mac Backup Guru 5.0, an important update to their innovative backup app for Mac OS X. Offering direct cloning, synchronization, and incremental snapshots, all 3 functions can handle backups from small amounts of files and data or entire drives full of data. The version 5.0 update brings an improved interface, faster and more stable cloning ability, more intuitive scheduling, improved incremental snapshots, and better performing background synchronization to the app.
"Mac Backup Guru was developed simply because of our own needs for a backup utility like this," explained Ben Slaney of MacDaddy. "We couldn't find anything like this on the market, so we decided to create it ourselves. The result is an easy to use, yet flexible backup utility that offers more features than other utilities of its type for Mac OS X."
Direct Cloning:
The Direct Cloning function creates an exact duplicate of a folder or disk. Direct Cloning easily makes a direct copy of anything a user tells it to copy. Users who have attempted to make a backup of their System folder by simply dragging & dropping the folder to another drive know that method simply doesn't work. Mac Backup Guru can easily make an exact copy of anything marked for backup, whether it's terabytes of data, or the complex folder hierarchy of the System folder.
Synchronization:
Synchronization is the answer if a user already has a partial backup of their data and wants to make sure that all of the folders and files that are different between the source and destination are included in the backup. Synchronization performs this by only copying the files that have changed. If it finds any files on the destination disk that are no longer on the source disk, it moves them to the trash. The result is a clone of the source directory,
Incremental Snapshots:
If a user were to make a complete backup of a 500GB hard drive each time, it would require a multiple terabyte capacity backup drive to hold even just a few backups. Incremental Snapshots allow users to store multiple backups of their drive by storing only fresh copies of the files that have been changed since the previous backup, and the rest are hardlinks to the previous backup. This allows multiple backups using only a fraction of the space needed for a full backup each time, while appearing as a full backup. If you browse through an incremental snapshot in the Finder it looks just like a full disk duplicate. If you were to do a "Get Info" on 10 of them they'll tell you they're using 10TB of space - for a 1TB drive. That's what makes Incremental Snapshots so useful. Users can have multiple "full" backups of their drives, yet use only a fraction of the actual space on their backup drive.
Features:
* Simple, reliable utility to create copies of files
* Incremental Snapshots, which use about one tenth of the space of a standard backup and are about 10X faster
* Copy & Paste a bootable drive in the Finder (OS X 10.10 and higher)
* Easy to use, animated user interface
* Resumable Backups - Interrupt and start your backups again at any time
* Automatic Backups - Backing up a hard drive becomes simply a matter of plugging in a backup drive
* Synchronized Backups - Any new items are copied to the backup; any items not on the source are moved to the destination drive's trash
In OS X 10.10 or higher, Mac Backup Guru offers its own improved version of Copy & Paste in Finder's contextual menu. This allows users to copy an entire bootable volume and then paste it to another HFS+ volume, creating a bootable volume. All metadata and permissions are kept fully intact, and the Copy & Paste functions are also resumable.
Update Highlights:
* Improved Interface
* Improved incremental snapshots
* Faster and more reliable cloning ability
* More intuitive scheduling
* Better performing background synchronization
Mac Backup Guru makes keeping important files backed up easier than ever. It will run in the background, making bootable backups of the Mac file system, while users work on other things. No more waiting for a backup to finish before getting back to work. The app can even run scheduled backups so there's no need to worry about remembering to backup any new work. A backup can be scheduled for any time of day, and Mac Backup Guru will run a backup of the selected data at the scheduled time. If the app isn't running at the scheduled backup time, Mac Backup Guru will start up in the background and begin the backup.
Making bootable backups with Mac Backup Guru is a breeze. Simply select a volume to backup, and then select the destination volume. The app will make a bootable copy of that volume. Anyone can boot their Mac from an external backup by simply holding down the Option key while their Mac boots up. Users can then select the external drive, and boot their Mac from it.
Mac Backup Guru is intelligent. If the backup drive isn't attached to the Mac when it's time for a scheduled backup, it's no problem. Backup Guru will automatically run the next time that drive is attached. Backup Guru will also notify you if there is a pending backup when it opens. Restoring is even easier; simply select the backup to restore from, and then select the drive to restore to. Mac Backup Guru does the rest of the work, quickly restoring all of the data to the destination drive.
"We have striven to make using Mac Backup Guru as easy as possible, while also working to offer the most comprehensive backup system available for the Mac today," continued Slaney. "We think version 5.0 is the best version yet, and we think our customers will agree."
System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.9 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 5.3 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Mac Backup Guru 5.0 is $39.00 (USD) and is available directly from the publisher's website. A free trial download is also available. Review copies are available on request.

Making bootable backups with Mac Backup Guru is a breeze. Simply select a volume to backup, and then select the destination volume. The app will make a bootable copy of that volume. Anyone can boot their Mac from an external backup by simply holding down the Option key while their Mac boots up. Users can then select the external drive, and boot their Mac from it.
Mac Backup Guru is intelligent. If the backup drive isn't attached to the Mac when it's time for a scheduled backup, it's no problem. Backup Guru will automatically run the next time that drive is attached. Backup Guru will also notify you if there is a pending backup when it opens. Restoring is even easier; simply select the backup to restore from, and then select the drive to restore to. Mac Backup Guru does the rest of the work, quickly restoring all of the data to the destination drive.
"We have striven to make using Mac Backup Guru as easy as possible, while also working to offer the most comprehensive backup system available for the Mac today," continued Slaney. "We think version 5.0 is the best version yet, and we think our customers will agree."
System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.9 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 5.3 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Mac Backup Guru 5.0 is $39.00 (USD) and is available directly from the publisher's website. A free trial download is also available. Review copies are available on request.

American Fork, Utah - Izatt Apps has announced the 3.1 release of its flagship app, MileBug - Mileage Log LITE, which adds Push Notifications and a bit of polish to the new MileBug Cloud and updated UI.

Escape the Void - an exciting new endless-flyer for iPhone and iPad

Escape the Void - an exciting new endless-flyer for iPhone and iPad - Published on 06/23/15
Berlin based indie-software developer, Patrik Budenz has announced Escape the Void 1.0.2, his minimalistic new endless-flyer game designed for iOS devices. Set in a minimalistically designed world, players pilot a tiny spacecraft through fast approaching barriers and obstacles. As the spacecraft's speed increases, players have to react faster and faster. In order to keep things interesting, there are five game modes, different Game Center Leaderboards and many Game Center Achievements.
Berlin, Germany - Indie-software developer, Patrik Budenz has announced the release of Escape the Void 1.0.2, his minimalistic new endless-flyer game designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Players must navigate past fast approaching barriers by rotating and tilting their device, thus both requiring fast reactions and sensitiveness.
In most games, players navigate by tapping their fingers on the device. Escape the Void instead makes use of the device's tilting sensors for navigation: Set in a minimalistically designed world, players pilot a tiny spacecraft through fast approaching barriers and obstacles. As the spacecraft's speed increases, players have to react faster and faster. At the same time, players' ability to subtly manipulate their device is tested - too fast or strong movements will result in a crash!
Players can collect bonuses in order to slow down the pace of the game (for a short while), to get farther or to increase their score. In order to keep things interesting, there are five game modes, different Game Center Leaderboards and many Game Center Achievements.
Future updates will introduce new game modes (e.g. a time trial mode in which players should try to go as far as possible in a given time), extra lives and new bonuses that help to get farther.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 4S or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 29.8 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Escape the Void 1.0.2 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

SOOMLA raises $5.5M to help game developers catch whales
A new article has been published at prMac.
SOOMLA raises $5.5M to help game developers catch whales - Published on 06/22/15
SOOMLA, the leading in-app purchase SDK for mobile games, is announcing its Series A funding of $5.5 million. With new funding and 400 million end users, SOOMLA is setting out to build the GROW platform, the first cross-game data sharing network. Today SOOMLA is launching its first data product - the Whales Report. Mobile game developers can leverage the free platform to spot paying users, commonly referred to as "whales," and take action on their first session.
Tel Aviv, Israel - SOOMLA, the leading in-app purchase SDK for mobile games is announcing its Series A funding of $5.5 million. With new funding and 400 million end users, the startup is setting out to build the GROW platform, the first cross-game data sharing network. Mobile game developers can leverage the free platform to spot paying users, commonly referred to as "whales," and take action on their first session.
Backed by angel investors until recently, the startup has received its newest investment from an undisclosed multi-billion dollar online gaming corporation. The publicly traded gaming giant recently made two other acquisitions in the mobile space and is investing in SOOMLA to complement the portfolio with a data platform. The recent investment joins a trend of gaming corporations such as Nintendo, Baidu and Tencent all penetrating the mobile gaming market by investing and acquiring mobile gaming companies.
To sound the data horn, today SOOMLA is launching its first data product - the Whales Report. This product allows game developers to pinpoint users already paying in other games, hence highly likely to pay in their game too. This user-level insight is enabled by harnessing crowdsourced data across thousands of games in the GROW data network. Once game developers know users who've paid in other games, they can start targeting them with push messages, in-game campaigns and even adaptive gameplay experience.
Spotting payers early on turns the retention economics on its head. "Think about your game's seventh day retention. You lost a lot of users, but many of them actually paid in other games," says co-founder and CEO Yaniv Nizan. "We know exactly who these payers are and how much they pay, so we can put a number on how much money is left on the table," continues Nizan.
The Whales Report works on the premise of data sharing. Developers can gain access to the platform by agreeing to share data back with others in the network. The company anticipates that this model will drive the product to viral growth, as each game that joins enriches the dataset for everyone else.
A recent report from app marketing firm Swrve shows that 0.15% of mobile gamers account for 50% of all in-game revenue. Ironically, in an industry that is so dependent on whales, there are no means for identifying these lucrative users. SOOMLA is bridging this gap by combining data from thousands of companies. "Our approach is that gaming companies have a lot more to gain by sharing resources. Both our open source framework and the GROW network are based on that realization," says Nizan.
Unlike existing solutions that track data in only one game, the data platform developed by SOOMLA analyzes user behavior across a whole network of games. Developers who opt-in gain actionable insights from other games, not only theirs. "We're committed to building communities around technology," explains Gur Dotan, co-founder and VP Marketing at SOOMLA. "We've seen 10x value for developers collaborating on code, and we're re-creating that synergy around in-game data."
SOOMLA's journey began three years ago when the three founders noticed inefficiencies in the way mobile games were being developed. Free-to-play was on the rise with in-app purchase as the leading monetization strategy, yet all developers were building their monetization logic from scratch. The company created the SOOMLA Store SDK to simplify in-app purchase and adoption took off instantly. Since then, the store SDK has evolved into the SOOMLA framework, a full technology suite which interweaves in-app purchase, level design and social sharing to create engaging and monetizing games. Today the framework is backed by a thriving community of worldwide developers, all sharing the same goal of standardizing mobile game development.
