The postcards can be sent via e-mail, shared on Facebook, or saved to a user's Photo Library to be viewed or shared later.

iPhone App Responds To Parents' Pleads For Help With Kids' Screen Time

Layton, UT    Jun 18, 2012

[prMac.com] Layton, Utah - Screen Time has received great reviews from users and bloggers in its inaugural year and now its developers are releasing much anticipated updates based on feedback from parents. Beginning this week with a top priority feature, parents will now be able to add screen minutes manually. But "there's more to come", Rod Liberal, creator of Screen Time says "I've received hundreds of emails from parents who love the app. They've provided great ideas for improvements and new features to help with maintaining healthy screen time habits for their children."
Screen Time has also received numerous positive reviews from prominent bloggers around the Web:

An app that motivates my kid to clean his room? I am so in." - Cool Mom Tech

"Impressive features that many parents will appreciate I'm sure." - Bibsy @ itsMyi

"Parental management the 21st century way!!! This is an application that we will be using frequently and can help any type of family." - Andrea @ Applicable2U

A sneak peak into upcoming features include iCloud integration, weekly allowance, graphs and reports, and a highly requested iPad version.

Rod Liberal, developer of ScreenTime, says the thinking behind ScreenTime is simple. "Essentially, kids are able to bank their time and trade those minutes for customized rewards. In turn, they learn delayed gratification and long-term savings concepts. Some studies show that children in the United States watch an average of three or four hours of television every day, my own kids included. That's why we created ScreenTime."

ScreenTime allows parents to set up a daily allowance of minutes of screen time for each child. It enables the parents to track when and where each minute is being spent with an easy-to-use, intuitive iPhone application. Kids are also able to "earn" more television and computer time by doing chores, completing school work, helping a sibling, or by any other means determined appropriate by the parent.

"The very best part about the application is it is fully customizable," continued Liberal. The screens, tasks, rewards, and time allowances can all be modified by the parent or guardian to suit the needs of the family."

Liberal's own children's time managing experience helped create the concept behind ScreenTime. The application is centered around a parent or guardian's ability to help children combine all of their daily media interactions into one single system. "ScreenTime is not just a time tracker. It's a tool that gives parents and children consistent and reasonable daily expectations for watching tv and playing video games."

About ScreenTime:
ScreenTime is an innovative new iPhone application that tracks the minutes each child interacts with the television or computer every day. It encourages children to spend less time watching television and more time doing other more productive, healthy activities.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Screen Time - Media Time Manager 1.2 is $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. For more information, please visit ScreenTime online.

dateOften Launches Interests-based Mobile Social Dating App for iPhone

San Francisco, CA    May 07, 2012

[prMac.com] San Francisco, California - Over the past decade, social network sites such as Friendster, then MySpace, and now Facebook-Instagram have seen hundreds of millions of users discover, connect with each other, and explore each others choices, preferences, interests and activities. Fundamentally these social network sites have changed everyone's social fabric.

So, is online dating fabric evolving, or is it stuck in the 1990s?

Since 1990s, online daters have seen the likes of eHarmony, Match, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish, and more recently Facebook-based turned stand-alone app, Zoosk. The purpose of these web-tethered dating sites is very clear, however, any meaningful substance and richness these web-based dating sites offer to our dating lives and dating relationships is questionable. Personal profiles with fill-it and forget-it questionnaires, answer-and-post questions, get grouped in to statistical (percentile) groups, turn our qualities in to a shopping list, get a wink, and send a flirt.

Is this really helping today's singles dating lives, their dating relationships, is this all daters can get?. Isn't it true, that today's single dater is socially networked, savvy, sophisticated, uses #hashtag tweeting, prefers URL-link-shortening and is an urban smart dater.

Lets fast-forward to 2012 - Introducing dateOften, a new mobile social dating app; first-of-its-kind dating app which brings real time dating to local singles, by leveraging daters 'Social Interest graph', all with the ease and convenience of their mobile phones. Since it's interests-based, the dating app delivers a superb foundation to dating singles; using this to better understand each other and really get to know each other; thus enriching their dating lives and dating relationships.

Many believe, a dater's choices, preferences, interests and activities closely mirror his or her evolving personality, and as such dateOften app proactively learns and captures these choices, preferences, interests and activities from a dater's, 'Social Interest graph' over a period of time. Leveraging this time collected information, dateOften builds a dater's true, rich-personality profile which is presented to other dateOften singles. Certainly, this information is not static information, merely displayed by dots and pixels on a back-lit screen. Of course, dateOften dater's profile is dynamic, evolving and presents real Interests and Activities.

With dateOften Mobile Dating app, daters can wave bye-bye to clicking their keyboards, yet again, after a long productive day at work using their hard-wired PCs. In fact, Mobile dateOften daters can Enchant (chat with) their dates during work hours, discretely and frequently.

It's refreshing to see dateOften singles, 'Admire' (regard another person with warm approval) other singles. Every dateOften dater can 'Introduce' their dates to friends, or discretely to their friends-of-friends. As simplistic it may sound, daters earn virtual coins (date) for 'Admires', 'Introductions', for 'Inviting' their friends, as well as for their unique 'Check Ins' and their 'Ratings' of interesting places they hangout or visit. Mobile push-notification and personalized emails, keeps daters eagerly engaged with each other.

"We are very excited to introduce our new mobile social dating iPhone and iPod touch app for today's and tomorrow's dating singles. Dating Singles will love to discover and explore each others real interests and activities; this is an excellent foundation to initiate and grow their dating relationships," says Bharati Adkar and Bobby Bhurji; the co-founders.

iPhone Cyber-Bully App Reaches 3 Million Users

 

 

[prMac.com] Gilbert, Arizona - Dapper Gentlemen are very excited with their app Ugly Meter, which is being publicized as an alleged "Bully Tool". Ugly Meter has got 3 million downloads on iTunes app store and shows no sign of slowing down. As the app advances popularity, parental groups and media outlets alike are annoyed that the app, which takes a picture and scans it using facial recognition, generates derogatory and hurtful comments based on your 'ugliness score.'

"Your face looks like it was in the dryer with a bunch of rocks" it might say, or "When you walk past a bathroom, the toilet flushes." These remarks and photos can then be posted on social media networks like Facebook or Twitter, possibly without the victim knowing.
 

Now that the Ugly Meter has reached the 3 million users mark, bullies are allegedly using it nationwide in many of our public schools, most likely under the radar of school administrators and staff. 

"The existence of the Ugly Meter application does make clear the increased need of kid’s education related to technology as the age at which individuals are exposed to the Internet and applications steadily become younger. ... In the school environment, educators should also look out for their students' well-being."

Dr. Gwenn O'Keeffe, author of "Cybersafe: Protecting and Empowering Kids in the Digital World of Texting, Gaming and Social Media", seems to agree. "There's a fine line between teasing and razzing one another, ... [This app] is just hurtful. It could have crushing blows on kids with low self-esteem. There's just nothing good that could come from an app like this."

Awareness Technologies, a cyber-tool development company that many parents use to monitor their kid's online activities, issued a warning to parents saying, "A newly released $0.99 iPhone app called "The Ugly Meter" is the latest tool that creates chances for cyber-bullying, the online pandemic causing severe emotional and psychological pain to children across the nation. ... Apps like The Ugly Meter are ripe for cyberbullies to use in tormenting their peers."

So far the creators of the app hold that its purpose is for 'fun' and 'humorous purposes'. One of the creators, Jo Overline remarked to news outlets: "All of our insults are PG-rated. We kept it pretty clean on purpose. There will always be bullies out there and we can't control what they do. Parents need to take responsibility for their own children and stop trying to blame the media."

For better or for worse, in this modern age of instant messages and social media it's becoming more difficult to find a space not occupied by the thoughts and opinions of others.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, 4G iPod touch
* iPad 2 Wi-Fi, and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 11.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Ugly Meter 2.76 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
