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.

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.

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.

Rocket Scientist and Programmer Launch First Mobile Game - Cannon Cat

San Francisco, CA    Apr 26, 2012

[prMac.com] San Francisco, California - Loqheart, a two-man game studio, is testing whether the combination of a genius programmer and a rocket scientist can make a blockbuster mobile game. Their first mobile game, Cannon Cat, is a cute 2-D action-adventure game that follows a heroic cat flying through the sky from cannon to cannon, whose mission is to save all the flying fish from an Evil Emu. This epic story, easy one-tap gameplay, and 80+ levels are available now for free on the App Store for all iOS devices.

So why did this unlikely duo get together to make mobile games in the first place? When asked, David said, "I left rocket science surprisingly because it was too boring and lacked the creativity and innovation I got into engineering to pursue. Mobile games is much more exciting and allows me to explore far more parts of my brain."

It was at a Facebook game startup, that David met Don, a seasoned game developer, where they immediately connected on their passion for creating games. They soon quit their jobs and formed Loqheart, to create their own mobile games.

But you can tell from their first game, Cannon Cat, their science backgrounds haven't left them completely. Peppered with flying robots, portals, floating islands, and air cannons, Cannon Cat's world is clearly born from the minds of technology and science-fiction enthusiasts. And yet this game has all the cuteness and casual fun that will appeal to any fan of Angry Birds or Tiny Wings. With only one-tap to launch the cat, timing is everything in this game. It starts off easy enough but gets challenging for even a seasoned gamer.

When asked what inspired this wacky world of Cannon Cat, Don jokingly replied, "We actually created Cannon Cat in one week. The prototype at least. It was just a cat with a blue cape flying from one cannon to the next. People loved it. And from this simple prototype we crafted an entire world around it." David added, "And we wanted to surprise and break people's expectations. That's why in our world, fish can fly, islands float in mid-air, and cats save fish instead of eating them."

Games after all are a place where the impossible can happen and people can feel free to take risks. And it's no wonder a rocket scientist and game designer got together to take the ultimate risk, making it big with a cute little mobile game.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3.0 or later
* 17.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cannon Cat 1.0.3 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

SYS Activity Manager 3.0 for iOS - Mobile Device Memory Optimization

brooklyn, NY    Apr 10, 2012

[prMac.com] Brooklyn, New York - Appsware today is pleased to announce SYS Activity Manager 3.0 for iOS, an update to their Utility app that helps identify memory being used on a mobile device, allowing users to free up memory space, monitor 3G and Wi-Fi network speed, optimize battery life, and speed up device performance. The updated version is the only application of its kind in the App Store that supports the new iPad, and it is a Universal app, optimized for display on all iDevices. By providing users with information on current memory usage and an auto-stop of unnecessary background applications, SYS Activity Manager will help users extend battery life, test their Wi-Fi/3G networks, and accelerate the performance of their iPhone, iPad touch, or iPad.

Owing to their multitasking capabilities, there are cases where applications that appear to have been closed actually may remain running in the background, limiting the performance of an iDevice. SYS Activity Manager locates, displays, and auto-closes these applications, freeing up device memory and enabling a faster running device. SYS Activity Manager can find the memory and battery draining applications that other apps cannot. It generates a graphic and data representation of Wired, Active, Inactive, and Free memory allocation, providing users with a real-time view of the memory status of their device. In addition, the app provides Process details, information on Free and Used disc space, Battery Life status, and Network particulars. With its easy-to-use graphical user interface, the app is intuitive and completely "non-technical."

Having applications that are not currently being used running in the background of a mobile device can drain battery and reduce the speed and performance of a mobile device. This can be a frustrating experience as users rely on optimally functioning mobile devices for their business and personal lives. Fortunately, the information and functionality that SYS Activity Manager provides allows users to easily identify and close these applications, providing optimal device function and battery life. Memory optimization apps perform two related jobs. One, they scan the device, looking for applications that are running, despite not being currently in use on the device. And two, they allow the user to close unnecessary applications identified in the scan. SYS Activity Manager performs both of these functions with a single button, making this a maintenance task that can be performed quickly and effortlessly.

SYS Activity Manager 3.0 for iOS is part of a new breed of memory management and optimization apps for three important reasons. First, SYS Activity Manager is uncomplicated and easy to use. The user is provided with real-time accurate information and can easily identify and close running applications. There are no Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced memory management methods. There is one simple default that works flawlessly. SYS Activity Manager instructs users to identify open applications by double-clicking on the Home button, highlighting the application the user wishes to close, and closing the application.

The second reason SYS Activity Manager represents a new kind of memory management app is that its scan will find memory draining applications that other apps miss. Third and last, SYS Activity Manager displays current information in real time, while the app continues to scan.

Feature Highlights:
* Mobile device memory cleaning
* User-friendly graphic interface
* Easy adjustments for optimal battery life and device performance
* Scan for memory usage, applications running, in real time
* Visualization of Wired, Active, Inactive, Free memory allocation
* List display of running background applications and other system processes
* Multiple visual displays detailing battery status and use
* Configurable full charge & battery maintenance alerts
* 100% charge notification, effective for users in a rush
* Accurate time-to-charge displays
* Visualization of disk space status and usage
* Detect cellular data network & Wi-Fi network connection status
* Internet connection speed test

SYS Activity Manager provides detailed information beyond current memory usage. The Process tab of SYS Activity Manager features a list display of running background applications and other system processes. It instructs users on how to close and manage background applications to reduce the load on the CPU, battery and memory. The Disc tab provides a visualization and data summary of disc space and usage. The Battery Tab allows users to adjust battery health and perform an accurate, 3-step charge process. It supports full cycle and trickle charging and features multiple battery detail visual displays, alarms to indicate charging status, 100% charge notification, and more. The Network tab detects cellular data network & Wi-Fi network connection statuses, displays IP & MAC addresses, and Internet connection speed test.

"SYS Activity Manager is the simple, stress-free way to improve the battery life and speed of your mobile device," stated Appsware's Taslim Sohel. "Unlike other data memory optimization programs that are difficult to learn and use, SYS Activity Manager works as soon as it's launched. Never unnecessarily drain your battery again."

* U.S. English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
