Oak Lawn, Illinois – Viaden Mobile’s Pedometer PRO GPS + app has been chosen by a teaching hospital of the Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), to be a part of its Walking Club. Pedometer PRO GPS + uses both accelerometer and GPS for tracking running, jogging and walking statistics in a more reliable and precise way.

Combining high accuracy of activity monitoring with strong motivation benefits, Pedometer PRO GPS + is fun to explore and easy to use. Distance tracking and shape monitoring features make it an unparalleled gadget for the health and fitness conscious. The best proof of the app’s professional quality and high reliability is BIDMC’s decision to use it as the official application of its Walking Club.

Given the instability of GPS signal the developers of Pedometer PRO GPS + tried their best to develop a reliable app without full dependence on GPS. This is why Pedometer PRO GPS + combines the built-in accelerometer and GPS. The accelerometer replaces GPS when the signal is not available, and GPS overrides the accelerometer data and corrects it if necessary, thus ensuring even more precision. This algorithm allows Pedometer PRO GPS + makes sure there are no blanks in activity statistics and all data is as correct as possible.

Another perk of the GPS technology is that it allows Pedometer PRO GPS + to run in the background mode, a mission impossible for accelerometer-only pedometers.

Pedometer PRO GPS + counts steps, monitors burned calories, measures distance, speed and pace, which is essential for those who adhere to a healthy lifestyle. Apart from these, it boasts a number of extra features, such as the ability to set a variety of daily goals, easy tracking of the user’s progress, simple conversion of data to CSV and its forwarding to the user’s email for further reference and the sharing feature.

“Mobile devices are entering our life in different ways, so why not make them good for your health? We’re trying our best to be an app producer that cares about your health. Joining BIDMC’s Walking Club with Pedometer PRO GPS + is one of the most important steps in this direction,” says Yuri Gurski, Viaden Mobile CEO. “Helping people all around the world achieve their fitness goals and boost their health with our pedometer app makes us proud and eager to do even more.”

Being a part of BIDMC’s Walking Club, Pedometer PRO GPS + is the ultimate device for improving cardiovascular endurance and promoting active and healthy lifestyle.

Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom – Soluble Apps in conjuction with Northern Film & Media today announce the release of ShotList 1.0 for iOS. ShotList places a professional-quality filmmaking tool in the hands of anyone putting together a movie or video shoot.

The unique new app puts the Production Stripboard system used for many years in the film industry onto mobile devices for the first time, allowing the planning and tracking of every scene of a shoot as it happens.

Filmmakers can enter as much or as little information into the app as they want. It could be simply a series of shot numbers and storyboard frames, or all of the detail which would usually be pulled from a script and entered into a production strip board system as part of the scheduling process. This powerful pocket-sized tool lets filmmakers react and respond quickly to on-the-day challenges such as weather conditions, or issues with locations or cast.

ShotList enables filmmakers to:
* Track and schedule scripted drama, commercial shoots, radio production or videogame motion capture shoots
* Add, edit, delete or re-order scenes freely across multiple shooting days – with instant updating of the total number of script pages to be shot each day
* Each scene can be clearly marked as “To Do”, “Delay”, “Cut” or “Done” as you shoot, ensuring a vital scene is not missed
* View up to 6 storyboard frames per scene for instant recall. Each frame can be marked off as it is completed
* Store hotlinked notes for each scene, for instant dial of relevant phone numbers or access to web addresses (such as location information, or train or tide timetables)
* Keep everyone informed by emailing them the latest “one-line schedule”, or exchanging updated project files with other ShotList users on your team using Dropbox

Peter Johnson, founder Soluble Apps: “When a colleague went to start work as 1st AD on a feature we were amazed to find that there was nothing at all available on the App Store like this. Shotlist is the first app to provide what every filmmaker needs to track a scripted shoot on the go.”

Roxy Bramley, Creative Manager, Northern Film & Media: “Shotlist provides a low cost, portable, digital shot-tracking solution for filmmakers. The app potentially has a global professional market and we were keen to support Peter in developing this practical, commercial product.”

The development of ShotList is partially financed by Northern Film & Media.
