Project Management for iPad – Simple Genius

by editor on 26. Jul, 2010 in news

Dublin, Ohio – FourthFrame Technologies today is pleased to announce a new suite of apps for project management on the iPad platform building on the success of their flagship app Project Pad. The suite, named Simple Genius, is headlined by Project Pad which has been renamed to Simple Genius Project, compactly: SG Project. SG Project supports building and monitoring task-based project schedules and sports table and Gantt-style views familiar to professional project managers, but usable by anyone.

With Apple’s iPad selling 3 million units in just 3 months it is clear that the unique new platform is a winner. And not just for playing games and surfing the internet. Business apps are some of the top sellers and many business people are leaving their now-seemingly-clunky laptops in the office and using iPads on the go. App developers for the new platform are having a difficult time satisfying the voracious appetite for truly good business apps.

FourthFrame Technologies hit a sweet spot early on with their first project management app, Project Pad, which has ranked steadily in the top 20 business apps for iPad. Ty Jacobs, Principal and co-founder of FourthFrame reports that the app sold in 43 countries in just the first week alone. “The demand has been amazing. Apple’s distribution platform and market penetration have rapidly afforded FourthFrame a worldwide presence. Every day we receive and respond to emails from customers around the globe.”

Despite its success, Project Pad had a latent problem with its name that emerged when Apple stopped approving iPad apps with the term Pad in the name. “Our vision all along has included a full suite of easy-to-use apps supporting project managers and it became clear that the branding had to change in order to realize that vision,” said Jacobs. FourthFrame adopted the new moniker Simple Genius for the suite and Project Pad has now become Simple Genius Project. “SG Project is what the cool kids will call it,” quipped Jacobs. “Very importantly to us, the thousands of loyal Project Pad customers will not have to re-purchase the app. SG Project is making its debut at version 1.4, simply a free update to Project Pad version 1.3. When customers download the free update the app will just appear with its new name and branding, plus over a dozen new features.”

FourthFrame is also committing to add at least 3 additional apps to the Simple Genius family in the coming months, which is good news for mobile project managers. The app suite will provide consistent and familiar interactions for managing the various aspects of projects. Based on the rapid uptake and positive response to SG Project so far, FourthFrame has the design know-how and technical chops to deliver.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 2.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Simple Genius Project 1.4 is $9.99 (USD) and available now worldwide exclusively on the App Store in the Business category.

Mr. Moneybags: First IOU App to Support Uneven Splits & Partial Payments

by editor on 26. Jul, 2010 in news

San Jose, California – Bacon Bear Productions today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Mr. Moneybags 1.1, a beautiful iPhone/iPod touch application designed to track personal IOU’s and aid users in quickly collecting on those debts later. Mr. Moneybags is the only app that lets you publicly “Shame” your friends (via Facebook) into paying back the debts they owe you as well as the only app to support uneven splits and partial payments. Unique features of Mr. Moneybags include:

* Tips & Splits: Easily calculate tips and split bills from within the app. Mr. Moneybags is the only app of its kind that also allows for uneven splits for those times you have the salad and your friend has the filet mignon

* Payment Tracking: Keep records of your friends’ full and partial payments. You can even log payment methods and view detailed payment histories

* Contexts: Organize debts into “Contexts” that are associated with a preferred currency and people in a “favorites” list. For example, when entering a new IOU in your “Trip to Mexico” context, Mr. Moneybags will automatically use the preferred currency of “peso” and suggest the names of your travel buddies from the context’s “favorites” list

* Consolidation: Save time with Mr. Moneybags’ innovative mechanism for streamlining complex IOU payback. Even a four-person trip can quickly become complicated with over 16 payer/payee combinations, but with just a single tap, Mr. Moneybags generates a system in which all debtors pay a single “consolidation master”, who handles payback. This system reduces the number of transactions and makes settling debts among your group effortless

* Debt Reminders: Send a gentle reminder email or even post a “Shame” to a friend’s Facebook page to let him (and everyone else) know that payment is due ASAP

“Mr. Moneybags was designed to make the mundane task of entering IOU’s easy and the collection part fun,” said Jeff Lee, Bacon Bear’s CEO. “Thanks to full address book integration and a customizable ‘favorites’ list, IOU entry is a snap. Collecting on those IOU’s is just as easy. A single tap can send a gentle reminder email or, for those who need a bit more encouragement, post a “Shame” to a friend’s Facebook page”

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 2.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mr. Moneybags 1.1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies), as well as a free ad-supported download and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category.

Seattle, Washington – DistinctDev, Inc. today has just announced “Food Fight”, the 4th section of their hilarious and wildly popular brain teasing iPhone game, The Moron Test. In keeping with their philosophy of adding great free content updates, the DistinctDev team has added over 45 free questions with more than 100 steps on both the iPhone and Android platforms.

The Food Fight section introduces many more of the features that players have come to love about the series. There are awesome new characters (including a “Dow”, a dog-like cow), hilarious question types, and challenging new game mechanics. “Our biggest requests from fans are for new sections, leaderboards and randomized tests. We’ve added them all!” says Mike Monaco, Co-Founder and COO of DistinctDev. The iPhone version now includes all new global leaderboards, achievements, and an “Extra Credit” series of mini-games that generate random questions to test speed, memory, and reflex.

Food Fight is the most ambitious update so far for The Moron Test. “We love that our seasoned players are becoming more and more familiar with our sense of humor, but they’re also getting savvy to our tricks”, says Berkeley Malagon, President and CEO of DistinctDev. “This is by far the hardest section we’ve ever created. At this point, we have to stump players who think just like us!”
