SwimExpress Stopwatch 2.2 for iPhone – Lite and Update – Website Syncing

Dallas, Texas – Announcing that Volatile Works LLC, the developers of Swim Express Stopwatch 2.2 have released an important update. The Swim Express app uniquely offers data collection, calculation and storage to help swimmers improve their athletic performance. Thanks to this latest update, users benefit from more accurate formulas for computing stroke efficiency and a new website where they can upload, store and analyze data.

In addition, Volatile Works LLC announces their release of Swim Express Lite 2.2. This free version is fully functional and comparable to Swim Express 2.2 except for a small number of archive options.

Alex Weidemann, co-founder of Volatile Works, was inspired to develop an app for swimmers who are serious about their training, “As a coach and swimmer myself, I created this app for swimmers and swim coaches who want to take their race data to the next level. Sometimes knowing the lap times isn’t enough. Stoke rate and distance per stroke are factors that must be considered when determining swimming efficiency. Swim Express 2.2 and SeetheSpeed make this possible now.” SeetheSpeed is the name of the website that developers are now offering free access to for Swim Express purchasers. The app syncs with the site to allow the user’s collected data to be uploaded and saved. Information can then be retrieved from archives to be examined and to track improvements.

Swim Express is an invaluable tool for anyone serious about competition swimming. It turns an ordinary iDevice into a coaching assistant. Of course, it offers accurate stopwatch functioning but it does a lot more. The app has an easy to use interface with start, stop and split features which can be activated by pushing the device’s volume buttons. Users can now track, store and analyze lap and stroke rate and distance, as well as other important information that offers clues to performance improvement.

Features:
* Stopwatch and stroke efficiency calculator in one
* Gathers and displays data then stores it for later review
* Unlimited number of organized trials lists can be saved
* Data lists can be uploaded via free website syncing with SeetheSpeed.com
* Tracks lap times, stroke rate, speed and estimated distance per stroke
* Uses volume buttons on side of device for quick and easy use of Start/Stop/Split
* Just press ‘Stroke’ or shake the device at the completion of each stroke cycle and press ‘Split’ on a flip turn to use
* Get additional information on overall efficiency thru coaching analysis

Swim Express Stopwatch is bound to change the way swimmers train, equipping them with a modern, more comprehensive way to handle the details that matter most. Using the app frees a coach up, so they can watch the swimmer. The application will do the work, calculating all of the data that is crucial for tracking trials and striving for optimum performance. Swim Express Stopwatch is the only app available in the iTunes store that can collect and display stroke efficiency data.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iPhone iOS 3.0 or later
* 0.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SwimExpress Stopwatch 2.2 is only $2.99 (USD) (currently includes free website syncing) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

LociMobile Launches GPS Tracking 1.1 for iPad – Locate and Communicate

Los Angeles, CA – Announcing GTX Corporation, the developer of GPS Tracking, has just launched a new iPad version of their tremendously successful application. As it roars past 425,000 downloads in eighty-two countries and hits number two on iTunes’ social networking Top Grossing Apps list, GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO.OB) subsidiary LOCiMOBILE’s GPS Tracking app has just launched on Apple’s iPad(R), offering an iPad-specific full-featured version for about the cost of a grande latte, $4.99.

GPS Tracking App – from the leader in two-way GPS tracking systems – is dedicated to parent company GTX Corp’s guiding principle, “With You.” GPS Tracking brings people together, locating family, friends and co-workers. GPS Tracking isn’t a toy. It isn’t a game. It offers privacy, lets users share and upload pictures to Facebook and Twitter and simply said, it’s the most direct, purest, location-based check-in app on the market. GPS Tracking is cross-platform compatible with LOCiMOBILE’s GPS Tracking apps installed on other devices and smartphones such as Apple iPhone(R) and iPod touch(R).

What will users be able to do with GPS Tracking? One click and kids can find each other at the mall, amusement park, anywhere. Parents can keep track of their children at school, with friends, or on the go. Employers can use it to keep tabs on employees in the field, or at conventions. Friends can find each other at graduation, a concert or across the country at a new collage. These are the edible fruits of GPS Tracking’s promise, deemed a futuristic concept in science fiction movies only a few years ago. Now this game-changing concept has fueled an explosion in location-based check-in technology – but GTX Corp has been a leader in this space for eight years – putting GPS tracking technology in the hands of athletes, health care professionals – even in shoes – and now, perhaps everyone with a smartphone.

“We’re delighted to launch our GPS Tracking app on the iPad,” says GTX Corp CEO Patrick Bertagna. “It provides industry standard location-based check-in to iPad’s projected 10 million devices, expands our brand onto Apple’s estimated 100 million i-Phone, Pad, and Pod user base and of course adds another commercial product to our revenue stream.”

iPad is the latest innovation that has helped propel Apple to a market capitalization in excess of $200 billion, just behind Microsoft, who famously invested $150 million in Apple back in 1997.

Analyst/commentator Steve Kanaval, of World Market Media concludes, “This is a unique space with wind at its back and certainly the apps market is a niche to watch.”

Device Requirements:
* iPad, 3G iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 1.5 MB for iPad; 1.2 MB for iPhone and iPod touch

Pricing and Availability:
GPS Tracking 1.1 is only $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
