Sidney (BC), Canada – Corporate Smalltalk Consulting Ltd has announced Well Logs 1.8.9 for iPad, an update to their unique app for the petroleum industry that enables viewing of extremely large Well and Mud Logs in either PDF or TIFF formats. Capable of displaying documents as big as 11 inches by 100 feet at 230 dpi, the app relies upon proprietary technology from its LargeViewer app to import, store, pre-render, tile, scale, and scroll very large images on any iOS device, there is no reliance on backend services or internet access required for viewing your well log.

Well Logs is the only iOS app on the market to have the capabilities to load and view oil & gas wireline well log TIFF and/or PDF images. With wireline well files up to dozens of feet long, most apps do not have the capacity to allow such images to load without crashing. Well Logs has made it a priority to specifically handle such unwieldy files. Of course, the advantages of viewing well logs that are 17 inches x 65 feet, or land maps that are 4 x 18 feet on an iPad rather than a paper document are significant. On-site viewing and discussion of paper documents no longer presents the inconvenience it once was, plus this reduces costs associated with the original printing process as paper and ink are costly items.

Well logging, also known as borehole logging, is the practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole. The log may be based either on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs) or on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole (geophysical logs). Well logging is done during all phases of a well’s development: drilling, completing, producing, and abandoning. Well logging is commonly used to document the presence of oil and gas, groundwater, minerals, and geothermal sources, as well as during the process of conducting environmental and geotechnical studies.

Feature Highlights: * Designed especially for the petroleum industry to view large Well and Mud Logs on iPad * Capable of displaying documents as big as 11 x 770 inches at 230 dpi * Uses LargeViewer technology to import, store, pre-render, tile, scale, and scroll very large images on any iOS device * Handles Land Map files 4 x 18 feet (or larger) * 8x zoom, horizontal & vertical scrolling * Advanced memory management permits display of images over 640 megapixels in size * Pre-rendering allows smooth scrolling and display * Cached Dropbox support. * Accelerated multi-page PDF & TIFF fax file reading for support faxes and PDF documentation * Supports more than 35 different graphics file formats

In addition to well logs, the app also provides accelerated multi-page PDF & TIFF fax file reading, plus compatibility with all of the image formats supported by Corporate Smalltalk Consulting Ltd’s LargeViewer technology: AVS, BMP, CUR, DIB, FITS, GIF, ICON, JNG, JP2, JPEC, JPEG, JPG, MAT, MIFF, MTV, MVG, PBM, PCX, PGM, PICT, PIX, PNG, PNG8, PNG24, PNG32, PNM, PPM, RLE, SGI, TGA, TIFF, TIF, TIM, VIFF, WBMP, WPG, SBM, and XPM.

“I know of no other iOS app that can successfully manage the strenuous demands that are made on mobile devices in displaying well logs and mud logs,” commented company Founder John McIntosh. “If you are involved in borehole logging of any kind, Well Logs is a must-have app.”

Device Requirements: * iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch * iOS 5 ready * 9.7 MB

Pricing and Availability: Well Logs 1.8.9 is $19.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Business category. Review copies are available upon request.

Sidney (BC) Canada – Corporate Smalltalk Consulting has announced Maps 1.8.9 for iPad, an update to their Navigation app that provides an advanced document viewer that accommodates highly detailed documents at high magnifications. Maps with its proprietary LargeViewer technology allows rapid scrolling and minimal drawing lag times for large charts and massive PDF documents.

Ordinary iPad document viewers slow to a crawl or simply crash and scrolling is extremely difficult when working with large maps or completely give up when dealing with wall maps. Maps has been specifically designed to provide effortless, real-time scrolling both horizontally and vertically, and quick zooms in and out. The app features TIFF, PDF, and Dropbox download compatibility, quick-view thumbnails, multi-tasking support, and either iOS and/or OS X based pre-rendering.

Employing accelerated PDF viewing logic, combined with CSC’s newest TIFF decoder, it facilitates the pre-rendering of files into LargeViewer format. All pre-rendering need be done only once; thereafter, converted files may be opened and viewed easily. While pre-rendering can be done within the app, CSC recommends their free, Mac OS X LargeViewer Helper for batch pre-rendering. Pre-rendering is done at 2x, but users can render finely detailed charts at 5x, enabling instant zooming in at 40x magnification.

Feature Highlights: * Innovative document viewer accommodates highly detailed maps * Maps allows display of image documents up to wall size posters * Reads over 50 different image file formats, and many MS office formats * Displays and paginates large PDF files, up to thousands of pages * Support for TIFF/FAX files with variable page sizes * Dropbox file download compatibility * Acts like a USB memory stick * Responsive H/V scrolling and zooming through large documents * Sophisticated Cache Manager allows user control of cached Dropbox files * Supports multi-tasking, allowing pre-processing to be done in the background * Improved logic for dealing with multi-page PDF books

A major convenience feature of Maps is its Dropbox compatibility. The app has read-only Dropbox capability; it will never change or delete a Dropbox stored file. In addition, the app provides a sophisticated Cache Manager. This gives users complete control over files that have been stored in cache memory, allowing mirroring and later use of the Dropbox folder, even when there is no Internet connectivity.

Device Requirements: * iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch * iOS 5.0 or later * 13.1 MB

Pricing and Availability: Maps 1.8.9 is $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Navigation category. Review copies are available upon request.

MocoSpace has announced the results of their new “Y U Play?” study that tries to answer the question of just why people play mobile games, anyway? The answer for the majority of people appears to be just pure entertainment. 34% of people like to play mobile games because “the games are fun,” and 32% do it because they are bored, or want to kill time.

The interesting part of the data here is the way that a significant portion of the mobile gaming audience considers mobile games a distraction from boredom, more so than as a kind of entertainment source.

This may be why games that encourage short-term play sessions tend to do well on mobile in particular: because people are just looking for something to enjoy just when they’re trying to pass time, as much as a source of entertainment.

However, the number of people that are playing games for more pure gaming reasons still comprise a significant part as well, with an additional 10% playing games for the purpose of competition. So, the market of mobile gamers who want intense experiences should not be neglected either, because they do exist.

A variety of other responses were listed for why people play mobile games. 9% play to meet new people. 3% even play to flirt in the games, which is not something that most people would realize that is happening. Only 3% play because they are always on the go, though 6% play to try something new. Mobile gaming may not be a replacement for traditional gaming for those who are on the go, but does appear to represnet a significant concern for players.

As well, with about 25% of players enjoying mobile games because they can play with other people, social features may need to be something that game developers put an emphasis on – a lot of people enjoy games primarily to compete and communicate with other people, as much as they enjoy playing the games themselves.

Korean publisher GAMEVIL, which has surged on to the international market in the past few years on iOS and Android, are successfully making a transition other companies are finding difficulty with: free-to-play games and in-app purchases, as they’re making more money than ever thanks to leveraging these new moneymaking techniques on mobile.

The numbers don’t lie: GAMEVIL is growing massively, having made 16.6 billion KRW ($14.3 million USD) in revenue, and a net profit of 5.2 billion KRW ($4.5 million USD) for the first quarter of 2012. Their income grew 160% from the past year’s same quarter, and net profit grew 105%.

In-app purchases were a large part of their revenue: 91% of revenue was from these purchases, especially as their flagship franchises like Zenonia and Baseball Superstars have gone from being paid titles supported by in-app purchases, to being entirely funded by them. Third party titles published by GAMEVIL, such as IDEABOX’s Plants War, are also a fundamental part of their business, and many of them are free to play as well. In fact, 11 of GAMEVIL’s 16 games scheduled to be released in the second quarter of 2012 are going to be developed by third-parties. They have a $10 million Partner Fund to help finance the development of these third-party titles.

GAMEVIL is making this transition as their business has seen a massive transition in the past few years. Where their games were once originating on feature phones in Asian markets, now 92% of their revenue comes from iOS and Android. As well, they’re shifting into the global market in a big way, as revenue from outside Korea grew by 473% year over year.

GAMEVIL has shown an ability to transition well in a market that is shifting regularly – and they have done this while simultaneously expanding their operation internationally. Other publishers have had difficulty shifting into the free-to-play space alone, while GAMEVIL is growing and adapting to multiple challenges at once.

San Jose, California – First Light Design’s (Distant Suns), Founder and President, Mike Smithwick, will be live tweeting and blogging about his experiences at the upcoming launch of the unmanned Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX, marking the first time in history that a commercial company will attempt to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station. Launch is scheduled for Saturday, May 19 at 4:55 am Eastern Time. Mike will be tweeting (@distantsuns), posting to Facebook and blogging in the day prior to the launch and then in real time as it happens.

“I have had the good fortune of being invited to witness the launch of the Falcon 9/Dragon mission at Cape Canaveral,” said Mike. “This will be my seventh launch, having seen Apollo 11, 15, and 17 take off, two shuttle missions and the Cosmic Background Explorer. Few things are more spectacular than an Apollo-Saturn V (at night no less), but any orbital launch is exciting nonetheless. This one will have an excitement all it’s own – a commercial vehicle delivering a cargo to the International Space Station, something only a few governments have ever accomplished.”

After the launch, Mike will head back to California to live tweet the solar eclipse on Sunday, May 20.

Budapest, Hungary – The Gamma Project has announced they are temporarily dropping the price of my Travel Assistant, their popular productivity / travel app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. my Travel Assistant is a professional app for global travelers that integrates into a single, convenient package a smart, multi-currency expense tracker with automatic currency conversion, a 156-currency monetary exchange rate converter and a 51-language translator. The sale ends once the update appears in the AppStore.

The upcoming major update brings several enhancements:

* Ability to share application data among devices – Easily share trips between all your devices or backup application data to your desktop computer.

* Localized number formatting – All numbers will appear nicely formatted based on your device’s settings.

* User Interface improvements – The app now provides a more unified user experience. The app’s main color scheme is applied to all UIs. Additionally, a new calendar has been introduced which makes it easier to quickly select or update the date of trips and trip items.

Designed as an intelligent assistant for international travelers, the app stores all expenses in both the local and converted, home currencies. With a high-end, dark wood-grain GUI, the app includes no instructions for use; all operations are intuitive and trouble-free. One-time set-up includes entering the user’s language, home currency, and the frequency of exchange rate updates. The designers have paid great attention to human factors.

For example, English, Spanish, French, Italian and German appear in their respective places in the scrolling list that appears by touching “Your Language”, but the group of five most common languages also appears at the head of the list. Similarly, the app defaults to US dollars, with the yen, euro, swiss francs, british pounds and Canadian dollar leading an alphabetical list of 156 different currencies.

Set-up complete, the home page displays four buttons: Travel Expenses, Currency Converter, Translator, and Quick Add. A summary of the last expense is also shown on the main screen for convenience. The quick add function allows fast expense entry, and goes straight to the entry page of the last trip.

Travel Expenses is the heart of the app, and the Travel Expenses page contains an artfully designed scrolling list of all trips ordered by date by default. The order of trips and expense items can be customized. The user may substitute any photo or graphic for the generic icon displayed with each travel expense listing, which includes the trip’s label (i.e. the country or city), the description of the expense (e.g. work, personal, etc.), the date and the total amount of all expenses, automatically converted to the user’s home currency.

Selecting any entry brings up an itemized listing of each individual expense for that particular trip. When entering an expense in the local currency the user may enter a description using the pop-up alphanumeric keyboard, or choose a predefined category. Included, with appropriate icons, are: Transportation (Flight), Cash Withdrawal, Taxi, Local Transportation, Hotel, Camping, Fuel, Road Tolls, Souvenirs, Food & Drink, Treatment (Hospital), Shopping, Entertainment, Additional Fees, and Other. Sums are entered using the built-in, multi-function calculator. Both the trips and the expenses scrolling list is fully editable, and displays individual expenses in both local and home currencies, plus the date and description. Expense items also display the corresponding category.

The currency converter function features side-by-side odometer displays for going from any one of 156 currencies to another. The large entry keypad also includes a calculator function. Results are displayed in the dual odometer highlight window with the currency listing. For example, entering 1,555 displays “Japanese Yen – 1,555 JPY” on the left cylinder, and “US Dollars – 20.202 USD” on the right.

The translator function employs two text fields, each with a labeled flag beside it. The user selects his native language/flag and enters the word or phrase to be translated in the text field. The translator supports copy and paste functionality, allowing translation of eMails or web content. Selecting any of 51 languages displays the translation in red type in the second text field.

Feature Highlights: * Retina Display Ready – for both the iPhone and the new iPad * Universal app – get it once and run it at full resolution on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad * Analytics view on the iPad version, showing on what types of services is the most money spent * Appealing, user friendly interface with Retina Display support (high resolution) * Easy-to-use expense management at home and abroad – no matter what foreign currencies have been used – even if multiple currencies have been used during the same travel * Organize expenses by topic for specific categories, trips or projects * Use custom photos as thumbnails for itemized expenses (take photos or load images from your photos library) * Easily edit, reorder or delete trips and entries * Use custom photos as trip thumbnails * Automatic conversion between the type of currency paid and the user’s native currency * Share expenses via in-app, eMail function as a nicely formatted table and as CSV attachment; The csv file can then be loaded into spreadsheet applications for further processing * Universal currency converter supporting 156 currencies * Translate words and phrases between 51 languages, with “copy and paste” support * Built-in Calculator * Auto-refresh of exchange rates (configurable interval from 1 hour to 1 week, or manual) * Expenses stored in both the local and converted, home currencies

The word and phrase translator supports the following 51 languages: English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Galician, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swahili, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh and Yiddish.

“Let’s just say that the average fan of Indian motion pictures, and the Indian movie world overall, has an incredibly voracious appetite for all of the latest celebrity information, rumors, and news – and our goal in creating our Galatta mobile application was to make sure that these fans do, right in the palm of their hand, have access to the latest, the most compelling, and the most entertaining news,” said Venkatesh C.R., the CEO of Galatta Media. “We have, literally, put the latest information right at the fingertips of fans. We’re excited. This is a great app. We have done a great job focusing on the right style; the right interface. And we’ve also worked to ensure that the news itself is consistently entertaining and informative – and always shareable.”

Galatta app was developed with clear-cut, user-friendly navigational elements to ensure convenience and easy reading, and provides an option with which users can save their favorite stories to read at a later time. A search function is included to make sure users can get the information they want, when they want it, and, best of all, fans of the Indian movie world will get the comfort of knowing, after purchasing Galatta app, that they will always be the first to know of the latest news, developments, and rumors swirling around Hollywood, and the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi movie industries.

Lundy has compiled a vast amount of information about the British Peerage and European royalty, harnessing new technology with every computing cycle. “I started off using FoxPro, then transitioned to making it available on the web, now I see the iPad as the perfect medium to explore this type of data.” Digital maps enable users to explore genealogies across hundreds of years. “With such a volume of information, the presentation is critical,” says Lundy, “Working with the team at MEA Mobile we developed an interface platform we’re very proud of.” Users navigate through an intuitive animated chart and can search by surname, location name, or via a map interface. “It’s still a work in progress,” explains Lundy “We’ll be expanding and evolving on a regular basis and so look forward to feedback.”

Users can see if any of their ancestors are listed among the aristocracy or see how many descendants Queen Victoria has alive today. Free access to the records is available through an ad supported version. A paid version without ads is also available. “We’re excited to transition this unique part of history into the mobile space,” says Bruce Seymour, Managing Director of MEA Mobile. “The thoroughness and dedication Darryl Lundy has committed to the Peerage project is extraordinary.”

Cheltenham, United Kingdom – The games publisher Funbox Media is pleased to announce the release of TweetDAQ for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, a free app that charts performance on Twitter recording weekly figures and all time highs across a number of measures. The app works by plugging into Twitter’s Open API, and recording the latest account information every time it is loaded.

Number of tweets, retweets received, new followers and several more figures are listed to give some measure of Twitter performance and leader boards and Game Center integration make it a very competitive pastime.

Victoria Hatch, director of Nyx Digital, the developer of the app said, “Like many things, the idea for this was conceived in conversation with friends. A few of us were discussing Twitter and how many followers we each had. I really wanted to see how I was doing each week and the app developed from there.”

“Originally the idea was to provide a means of keeping track of a Twitter account; how it ebbs and flows from week to week but we realised early in development how much fun was to be had in comparing stats so we built leader boards and integrated it with Game Center and the game element really took shape from there.”

“We’re really keen to see how it evolves; how people use it. We want the feedback we get to really shape the direction the next iteration takes. Its an open project and we’re excited to see where it goes!”

Features: * Game Centre Integration * Leaderboards * Invites * Unique stats such as ‘Sphere of Influence’

Device Requirements: * iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad * Requires iOS 5.0 or later * 3.3 MB

Reading, United Kingdom – Independent developer MH Riley announces Debt Manager 1.5 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Debt Manager is aimed at people who are in debt and looking for a way out. It utilises the Debt Snowball method to illustrate a simple and highly effective technique for debt reduction. This helps to organize, track and pay off multiple debts in the cheapest and fastest possible way.

Simplicity of use is key and is achieved using a clean UI, in-context help and an ongoing tutorial to guide the user through the process. This enables the user to focus on the output rather than the input. We understand that a picture speaks a thousand words, so in addition to the payment schedules and display of interest and time savings, there is also a full suite of interactive reports. These allow easy visualisation, letting the user ‘see’ their debt reduce.

The app also offers several more advanced features. Some of these include: * Tracking of payments and visual progress indicators * Extra payments can be made against each debt * Multiple payoff strategies (e.g. Lowest Balance First, Highest Interest First) * Support for Introductory Rates (e.g. interest free for 6 months) * Trying out What-If scenarios * PDF and HTML exports * Payment due notifications * Credit Card Balance Transfers * Passcode protection * Backup and Restore of app data via Dropbox

Device Requirements: * iPhone, iPod touch and iPad * Requires iOS 4.0 or later * 9.7 MB
