Embrach, Switzerland – RIAMS Software, an innovative new mobile applications development company, has today announced its excitement over the successful recent release of PadDraw for iPad devices running on iOS 4.0 or later. This new children’s coloring app allows youthful users to either color pictures in one block at a time, fully by hand, or utilizing a mixture of different tools and methods. Featuring beautifully rendered original drawings, PadDraw is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for $0.99 in the Entertainment Category.

PadDraw sports an original professionally drawn picture book that features simple to color-in images, while offering children a simple cohesive narrative about a boy who loses his puppy that young kids are sure to enjoy as they color one image after the next. Furthermore, the app incorporates over a dozen unique coloring pages, three different coloring modes, and five different brush sizes to keep things fresh for users as well. The application also features an eraser tool that allows users to erase specific portions of their drawing. If young artists want to erase all their work and start on a page from scratch, they simply turn on ‘Edit’ mode and shake the iPad, it couldn’t be simpler.

The three coloring modes that PadDraw includes range from Easy to Hard. Easy mode allows kids to colorin whole sections of drawing with the touch of a finger, while Normal mode allows them to hand color-in portions of their drawing with a special feature that doesn’t let them color outside the lines. The most true-to-life variant is the app’s Hard mode, which charges children with coloring in their pages without any automatic assistance from the app itself.

Once a piece is finished, kids can simply start over on a new page or save their colorful drawing directly to the iPad. There’s not many app that are as helpful in encouraging children’s artistic development as they are in making themselves accessible to their youthful user demographic. PadDraw is one app that kids will love not simply because its engagingly vibrant but because its made with their needs in mind as well.

“Fake-A-Message allows you to fake multimedia messages as well as program elaborate replies for fake conversations” said developer Ed Williams. “Other fake texting applications only allow simple notifications.”

Users of Fake-A-Message are finding numerous ways to put the app to good use. Some use it for entertainment, shocking friends with salacious pictures from former Congressmen or shamed athletes. Others use of the ‘Random Excuse’ button to generate an urgent text summons to facilitate a an early exit from an unwanted situation. Regardless of how you use Fake-A-Message, it is clearly a handy utility to have.

Orem, Utah – Juicy Development today is pleased to announce an update to the popular iPhone and iPod touch application, Police Scanner 2. This update optimizes the speed of the app, allowing better backwards compatibility with older devices.

Police Scanner 2 is an application that lets users listen to police, fire, and EMS activities around the world. “Since many of our users are police and firefighters, we understand just how crucial the connection is to our app,” said Tod Hadley, CEO of Juicy Development. “With this update, users can use older devices while running our app on Apple’s latest OS.”

With thousands of national and international EMS streams, Police Scanner offers the largest selection of police, fire, and emergency services streams available for the iPhone or Android platform in one application.

“Because our customers depend upon our application for up-to-date emergency information, it’s crucial that we provide as much coverage as we possibly can,” said Hadley. With over 25,000 daily users and streams in eleven countries, Police Scanner is the most far-reaching emergency stream application in the iTunes store.

As additional stations, counties, and cities are added, the database is automatically updated and the stream instantly becomes available to all Police Scanner users. Police Scanner uses the location-aware technology built into the phones to help users locate streams near them, or allows them to search through a list of all available streams from around the world.

Anyone who discovers a compatible stream can simply email the company or send a message through the company web page. New streams will usually be added within a few days

Police scanner 2 is a must have for on-call volunteer fire fighters, news crews, emergency responders and hobbyists. Fans of Police Scanner are now able to purchase Police Scanner gear in the Juicy online store.

Prague, Czech Republic – TappyTaps today is pleased to announce its new version of ‘Geotag Photos Pro 2.8’ – an iPhone and Android application for easy and automatic geotagging (adding location information) of photographs taken by any (DSLR or compact) camera. The new version was created by focusing on less battery power consumption, so with this version it is possible to record locations for more than a day. ‘Geotag Photos Pro 2.8’ provides many new functions, like notifications when the GPS signal is lost or when the timezone is changed. TappyTaps have also developed a new version of its desktop application, which allows geotagging of photographs completely off-line.

Geotagging of photographs is getting more and more popular – with support of photograph-organization software (Apple iPhoto, Aperture or Google Picasa) or social online services (like Flickr) – it helps people improve the organization of their photographs and share them with location data. However, most cameras cannot record the location itself, as this would require a costly, built-in GPS. ‘Geotag Photos Pro 2.8′ provides a simple solution for this problem. It uses the GPS capabilities of the iPhone to record a log of the user’s location at specified intervals. TappyTaps’ desktop application then uses the uploaded log to match log entries with the time each photograph was captured by any (DSLR or compact) camera.

About a year ago TappyTaps released its first version of Geotag Photos, and with its increasing popularity new features are continually being implemented into both iPhone and Android versions. “We are getting increasing feedback from our users. And when there is a request for the same feature from more customers – and if it makes sense – we simply implement it”, said Jindrich Sarson, CEO of TappyTaps. That is the reason for the new notification facility – many people run Geotag Photos all day and, sometimes, they are in places with poor or no GPS signal. In this case, Geotag Photos notifies the user and he can act on it – for example to catch a stronger GPS signal by just walking closer to a window if he is in building. Geotag Photos Pro is also used by many professional outdoor photographers who are, sometimes, in locations with a poor Internet connection. But now, the new version of the desktop application works entirely without a network connection.

Feature highlights:
* Geotag Photos Pro 2.8 enables the addition of geospatial metadata to digital photographs taken by any (DSLR or compact) camera
* Precise locations are logged at user-set intervals by the iPhone or Android application
* Geotag Photos Pro offers various logging modes, from continual to manual. The TappyTaps’ desktop application matches logged location data with photographs taken by any camera and saves the location data in a standard metadata format
* The desktop application supports all major operating systems (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux), and the portable part of the application can run in the background on both iOS 4 or Android
* It supports JPG and RAW file formats (more than 20 file formats – such as NEF, DC2, DCW, …), and can export the location data to GPX standard format by using iTunes file-sharing function or by e-mail
FREE lite version is available – for customers to test all the features before deciding to buy

Supported Languages:
* US English, Czech, French, German, Slovak and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Geotag Photos Pro 2.8 is only $3.99 (USD), and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photography category. The Lite version of Geotag Photos is free. An Android version of Geotag Photos Pro is $3.99 as well and is available from Android Market. Geotag Photos Pro is now available in English, German, French, Spanish and Czech languages. Review copies are available upon request.
