New Abundantly App Offers Inspirational Daily Goals for a Rewarding Life
Brisbane, Australia – To help people who sometimes feel too pressured by everyday life or are looking for more personal fulfillment, Just Nudge today introduces Abundantly, its first app for iPhone and iPad, designed to motivate users to “live life abundantly” through simple goals and reminders that help bring more meaning to daily life.
“Abundantly can help you live a more rewarding life overflowing with happiness, love, kindness and tranquility,” said Michael Ransley, Director of Just Nudge, who created the app along with his wife Kylie. “You are given simple goals each day to enrich, enlarge and empower you to live a life of abundance.”
Aside from helping users enrich their own lives, Abundantly also aids others through charities chosen by the app creators. 10% of all the app’s profits are donated to selected charities monthly. Some of the charities that Abundantly donates to include Kiva and charity: water.
Abundantly was inspired by the developers’ own experiences over the last four years. After a hectic six months which included moving to another country and having a child, husband-and-wife team Michael and Kylie Ransley found themselves pressured and unable to enjoy their days like they used to.
The couple found a way to remind themselves how to live a more fulfilling life through daily reminders and tasks. Slowly, they began to incorporate small goals to accomplish during the day to help them appreciate their new life. This led to a positive and welcome change in their home, their family and even themselves.
In the Abundantly app, users can read a new thought-provoking goal every day and take the first steps toward a more rewarding life. The app fits into a user’s schedule by providing daily reminders and small goals to complete at their own pace to help them enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
“Our goal with the app is simply to help people from all walks of life remember to live life each day abundantly,” Kylie Ransley said. “Our dream is to use social media to mobilize people all over the world, and joining together we can make our world a better place.”
Features of the Abundantly app include:
* Small goals for big changes – Users read a new thought-provoking goal every day and take the first steps toward a fuller life
* Personalize the goals – Inspirational goals are available for every stage of life, including if users have a partner or child
* Daily reminders – To help users achieve their goals, they can set a reminder for each morning or any time
* Flexible goals – Abundantly fits into even busy schedules, letting users check off goals as they achieve them
* Celebrate achievements – The app shows statistics of how many goals have been completed, motivating users to tackle the next goal
Device requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1 or later
* 4.2 MB
Pricing and availability:
Abundantly is currently available for sale worldwide through the App Store in the Lifestyle category for $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies). Review copies are available upon request.

Pocket Tools Offers 7 Popular Utilities in One Lightweight App
Chandler, Arizona – CreativeMotion is proud to announce the release of their new all in one application, Pocket Tools. Offering a versatile combination of seven popular utilities, Pocket Tools sacrifices no amount of quality with its powerful execution and great, yet simple functionality. With this in mind, these utilities are condensed into a conveniently concise package.
Provided with the app are the following:
* Flashlight
* Plumb Bob
* Surface Level
* Ruler
* Caliper
* Protractor
* Unit Converter
Apple’s iPhones and iPods are very flexible devices, and developers have found many ways to adapt its features into applications outside of just making calls and listening to music. Pocket Tools was developed with strong considerations to usability and convenience; by analyzing the application market and surveying users, these tools and utilities were specifically chosen to provide a compilation of the most usable features that are available, and to package them into one powerful application. How each tool maintains its synergy with the rest was also an important factor in its development, and many of these tools integrate well with each other in the tasks they complete, whether it is design, construction, homework, or repair.
Each tool is fully functional and has many features that are common in stand alone versions:
* The plumb bob maximizes accuracy by providing an integrated camera and movable target lines
* The surface level contains hold functions for easier movement between areas of measurement
* Advanced calibration programming is integrated into the application for increased accuracy in the plumb bob and surface level
* Angle measurements are available in radian and degrees for all related functions
* The ruler is extendable for measurements longer than the device
* The ruler’s measurements are available in both inches and centimeters
* The ruler can be flipped or reversed to enhance versatility
* The caliper uses a digital display that reads in inches and millimeters, and contains precise centimeter rulings in the graphics area
* Over 90 different unit conversions in 13 different categories are available
All functions are activated via an interactive tool selector. This selector was intuitively designed to avoid accidental movement during usage of the program. The menu can be hidden or shown by swiping to the left or right on any non functional area with two fingers. The option to auto hide this menu after a specified duration, rather than use manual swiping, is also conveniently available.
All in one applications often provide reduced functionality by focusing on the quantity of individual tools. Pocket Tools strives to avoid this sacrifice, and provides a number of features atop a rich and pleasing graphics setting. By combining so many apps into one, Pocket Tools allow users to avoid cluttering their screens with a several different app icons. By utilizing efficient and optimized programming, Pocket Tools is only 10 MB, being very lightweight considering its functionality and saving valuable hard drive space.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod running iOS 4.0 or later
* iPhone 4 for LED Flashlight Utility
* iPhone with camera functionality for integration into Plumb Bob utility
* 8 MB Hard Drive Space
Pricing and Availability:
Pocket Tools 1.0 is now available for $0.99 USD and can be purchased worldwide using the iTunes store. A fully functional, ad driven free version is also available.

It’s Official! Models do have brains
Sydney, Australia – What do you think of when you see the words “fashion model”? Great looks, no brain. Living off her pretty face but not capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. Although this is the popular cliche we use to keep ourselves smug, the fact is that the most successful models understand they are in business and need a good amount of business nous to survive.
Pretty faces are a dime a dozen. Relying on photographers and agents to run their life is not enough for those who want to get ahead. Like any self employed and highly motivated person, being organized, in the loop of the latest news and on top of everything will keep them in full throttle, well ahead of the competition who all believe that original cliche themselves.
Kitegirlapps takes a sneaky peak into what apps you’d typically find on a successful model’s iPhone.
Model. (Kitegirlapps) – When an agent pays a model they automatically generate an invoice on the model’s behalf. This iPhone app allows the model to keep track of the jobs they’ve done, see what net total they’ll get after commission and check the jobs off as they are paid.
Itrans NYC Subway (Adam Ernst) – Whichever city a model is located in or heading for, timetables and maps of public transport are crucial to get around go-sees, auditions, shoots and shows. Apps like this give you the routes, street maps and times of arrival into each station.
Calvetica Classic (Mysterious Trousers LLC) – A model cannot live without a well organized and detailed calendar of appointments. Calvetica allows for time zone support, pop up notifications with a snooze button, color coded events, multiple calendars and integration with iCal and Google.
My Style Fashion Assistant (New Vision Interactive LLC) – an easy to use wardrobe organizer and trip planning packer. Models can use this to swipe through photos of garments to build their next audition outfit or plan what to pack for a trip.
Marie Claire (Zinio LLC for Hearst Communications Inc.) – This is a free app with in app purchases to buy monthly digital issues of Marie Claire fashion magazine. There are articles with matching videos a paper magazine can’t offer, plus all the superb tips and photography you’d expect from a top class magazine. Particularly impressive on iPad.

New York, New York – App Impulse today is pleased to introduce TimeStation 1.0 for iOS devices with front-facing cameras, their new Business app that allows employers to track, manage, and export employee attendance data from multiple locations. Featuring cloud based technology, TimeStation can function offline and sync when an Internet connection becomes available.

Similarly, employees at multiple locations can record their attendance on two different iOS devices, and all information will be compiled online.

* 1.6 MB

D3S DSLR 1.1 for iOS – Min-U Guide a Complete Reference to Nikon DSLR
Portland, Oregon – Independent developer Ken Tidwell is pleased to introduce D3S DSLR v1.1 for iOS, another in his series of popular Min-U Guides to Nikon DSLRs. The app provides quick, easy access to information by allowing the user to “drill down” through a topic, just like using the camera menus, until they find exactly what they need. For example, a new photographer may want to find out how to set the camera’s self-timer so he can appear in a group shot.
From the app’s opening screen the user selects the topic Custom Setting Menu from among six other chapter headings, then they pick Timers from five other choices, and finally they choose Self-Timer from four other listings, where step-by-step instructions are found. A convenient alternative to carrying bulky, printed reference material, the app also includes a handy list of D3S Quick Specs, a troubleshooting checklist, error messages, supported standards, digital photography & DSLR lens glossaries, CF card capacity calculator, handy whiteboard and an iPad Camera Kit overview.
The opening screen of this Min-U Guide consists of seven main chapter headings, each including a replica of the icon used on the D3S for that menu. The six Menu chapters include: Playback (modify playback settings and manage photos an movies), Shooting (configure D3S shooting options), Custom Settings (fine-tune camera settings to your liking), Setup (basic camera configuration), Retouch (create trimmed or retouched copies of existing images), and My Menu (your custom menu and options). The seventh chapter, [More], contains miscellaneous info (D3S specs and glossaries, error messages, etc.) Touching any chapter activates a push transition, where the next page enters right to left, pushing off the current page. Similarly, touching any topic on the second screen activates another transition. This smooth, visually appealing iOS based navigation system makes moving up and down the hierarchically arranged menus and sub-menus quick, intuitive and enjoyable.
D3S DSLR v1.1 achieves an ideal balance between comprehensiveness and clarity. Instructions contain no unnecessary verbiage, and no unnecessary steps. The goal of the adage “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler,” has been achieved here with excellent results. Even when dealing with concepts prone to obfuscation (480p vs. 576p vs. 720p vs. 1080i), the Guide is always factual, straightforward, and easily understood. The app is a universal binary, and displays in the highest, native resolution on every iOS device. In addition to Playback, Shooting, Custom Settings, Setup, Retouch and My Menu, this ‘D3s’ guide features a ‘MORE’ menu that includes:
* Troubleshooting
* Error Messages
* Quick Specs and Supported Standards
* Glossaries
* Lens Information
* Nikon Product Preview
* IPad Camera Kit Overview
* Whiteboard (iPad version only)
D3S DSLR also offers useful DSLR Calculators. Know exactly how many images based on either FX or DX format (with image file type), will fit on CF memory cards from 4GB to 128GB in size. Also provided are: ‘Depth of Field’, ‘Dimensional Field of View by Focal Length’ and ‘Angular Field of View’ calculators.
Independent developer Ken Tidwell, creator of the Min-U Guides series, commented, “Now you can spend your time shooting more amazing digital photos instead of carrying and digging through lengthy reference materials. D3S DSLR v1.1 is organized in the same manner as the D3S camera control menus, meaning that while you use it you also learn more about using your D3S.”
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 3.1.3 or later (iOS 5.0 tested)
* Universal Application
* 9.4 MB
Pricing and Availability:
D3S DSLR v1.1 is $5.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. D3S DSLR v1.1 is current with Nikon D3S v1.01 firmware. Review copies are available upon request.
