Pay Off Debt for iPhone – New Features to Assist with Debt Reduction

Tempe, Arizona – Announcing Parallel Focus LLC, the developer of Pay Off Debt, has released version 1.2.3 for iPhone and iPod touch users. The application systematically helps consumers repay creditors faster using the debt snowball method. New features just released in the latest Pay Off Debt update means users can now easily record custom payments and optionally have the app issue payment reminders.

Pay Off Debt was developed with one purpose in mind – to help users free themselves of some of their financial burden. “After becoming ‘debt-free-but-the-house’ myself, I wanted to help inspire others to become debt-free,” says Jackie Beck of Parallel Focus.

Beck’s application is based on the debt snowball method of debt reduction, which involves choosing one debt to target and apply extra money to while making minimum payments on the other debts. Consumers realize a steadily decreasing balance until the balance on the first debt is paid off entirely. Once one debt is gone, the monthly amount that previously went toward it is added to the minimum payment of the next debt, and so on. Each debt gets a progressively larger monthly payment.

The snowball method results in much faster debt reduction, which is not only good for relieving financial burden but also for providing encouragement and motivation. Pay Off Debt has been designed to be the perfect tool to help.

“I used to obsessively check my debt reduction progress and thought an app would be a handy way to do this. Also, it would make it easy to figure out the planned debt-free date using the debt snowball method,” explains Beck. The Pay Off Debt app does those two things and much more.

Pay Off Debt’s latest update includes two new features which allow users to easily record custom payments and gives them the option of having the app issue payment reminders. These features are in addition to the already outstanding functions available:

* Freedom to prioritize debts by organizing the debt snowball in the order of choice
* View progress bars on each debt for motivation and encouragement
* View starting and current balances to monitor progress
* See estimated time left to pay off each individual debt* View the “planned debt-free date”
* Compare and contrast how long it would take to pay off all debts if the user was NOT using the debt snowball
* Email the snowball information to up to four different email addresses
* Password protect the app if desired for privacy
* Record payments made for real-time progress
* Users may temporarily change the payment amount for a debt for increased flexibility
* The Configure Snowball screen allows any additional amount available for debt repayment to be put toward the first debt in the snowball
* Pressing the Record Min. Payment button on the first debt in the snowball automatically records the additional amount entered on the Configure Snowball screen
* The current balance for each debt is automatically estimated based on information input by the user. (Please note that this is ONLY an estimate. To keep exact records, users should consult statements and enter the actual current balance manually on the Edit Debts screen.)
* Allows users to select English, French or Spanish and one of five different currency types (Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Yen or a custom currency.)
* Tutorials are available online

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 2.0 or later
* 0.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pay Off Debt 1.2.3 is only $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

My Groups 1.2 for iPhone Brings Mass Texting To The Masses

Anthem, Arizona – Announcing that Light Switch Applications, the developer of My Groups, has released the latest update for iPhone users. My Groups 1.2 is an innovative and straightforward app that’s designed to ease the burden of Contact List Monotony, while streamlining and organizing your contacts in an easy to navigate format. My Groups 1.2 has the functionality required to manage social connections, yet is simple enough for non-techie people to use and love.

My Groups is advanced enough for the social world, but the user won’t need to be a computer engineer to be able to use it. Even those users with limited or no technical abilities can maneuver through it easily. My Groups gives people everything they could ever want in an organizational tool, while providing them with other straightforward and functional capabilities.

That was the goal of Brian Schmidt, CEO of Light Switch Applications. It was his quest to make an organizing app that would make finding contacts much easier without having to go through the entire list of contacts which is usually featured on mobile devices. Schmidt states, “This app was birthed from the frustration of organizing and effectively communicating with my personal, work, church, volunteer and social contacts. Before My Groups all my contacts were mashed together into one address list. When I would search for my family, I would have to sift through the piles of contacts with the same last name; therefore making communicating with my contacts an even more difficult task. Also, solving this issue was only half of the issue. I knew that if I created an app and expected my non-tech savvy wife to use it, it would have to be simple straight forward and functional”

Features that make My Groups 1.2 an invaluable productivity tool include:
Organization
* Create multiple groups of contacts
* Assign contact to more than one group
* Assign custom icon/picture to a group for easy identification
* Customize the arrangement of groups
* Allows multiple pages of groups
* Extended functionality to include, company….
* Add additional contacts to a group
* Delete contacts from a group
* Backup contacts in vCard and CSV file

Communication
* Export contact information for the entire group in CSV format
* Share groups of contacts via vCards
* Mass mail entire group with a push of a few buttons
* Mass text entire group with the push of a button (Standard texting, messaging, and data rates apply.)

Navigation
* Familiar iPhone navigation
* Enhanced navigation capabilities

One of the most highly anticipated additions and functions to this update is the ability to mass communicate with groups of contacts via email or text messaging. This convenience will greatly improve communication between individuals, and revolutionize the way that people correspond with one another.

The trait that truly sets Light Switch Applications apart from other manufacturers is their dedication to their users. It is Brian Schmidt’s goal to continually strive to give their users complete satisfaction. “Light Switch Applications is dedicated to making the complicated simple by leveraging common user interface interactions that are familiar to users resulting in a fully functional application that meets the needs of the community. Backed by our honor to support and assist user for all our applications. The other issue that people are experiencing these days is the “dead” app. An iPhone app that has been launched and can be purchased but no support what so ever. Proving support to our users is a driving force within our company. Our desire is to offer support that is a class above our competition. We see our relationship with our customers as a long term one, one that will grow over time. We are not in this just for the quick win.”

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4
* Requires iPhone OS 4
* 0.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
My Groups 1.2 is only $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
