Easton, PA – Announcing that Matthew Berry, the developer of Soccer Dad, has released the latest update for iPhone and iPod touch users. The application is a new tool that eases some of the administration challenges that come with coaching a kids’ soccer team and adds an element of fun, too. In addition to helping with regular tasks such as managing information, players and schedules, Soccer Dad makes it easy to communicate with parents, organize events and snap photos. The app has also been optimized for the iPhone 4′s retina display.

Soccer Dad is the result of practical experience in the field. Developer Matthew Berry is the father of eight children, all of whom he coaches in soccer. “Frustrated by a lack of tools for making the job of a volunteer coach easier, I decided to build an app for that,” says Berry. Now, he finds his coaching duties less stressful and more fun and efficient.

With Soccer Dad, coaches are able to use their iPhone or iPod touch devices to keep track of stats and player contacts, create schedules and rotations, take pictures with a device’s camera to link to players, and organize events. The app streamlines a fair and efficient management of multiple teams throughout a season.

When setting schedules for games, practices, events or when rescheduling, Soccer Dad will mark the dates on a user’s calendar so they can be seen in a glance for quick referencing.

These are some of the features offered in the Soccer Dad application:
* Fairly and efficiently manage and organize multiple teams by season
* Easy access of player contact information – quickly communicate with parents
* Organize events and have them display in your iPhone calendar
* Keep track of volunteers
* Replace your stopwatch and clipboard – lets you know when it’s time to change players, even if it’s in your pocket.
* Send emails without ever leaving the app
* Use the camera and photo library for player pictures
* Optimized for the iPhone 4 retina display

With the new iPhone 4 hitting the market recently, Berry has ensured that Soccer Dad is prepared for making full and best use of the device’s amazing retina display. All of the technical capabilities aside, the most important feature of Soccer Dad is probably that it allows soccer coaches more time to enjoy the kids and watch them improve and grow in the sport.

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

Pricing and Availability
Soccer Dad 1.1 is only $2.99 (USD) 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.

New High-Resolution iBook Gives You All the iPad Help You Need

Author: editor | Filed under: News

Jerusalem, Israel – Announcing that Shannoga, the developer of HiBye, has just released the latest update for iPhone and iPod touch users. HiBye 1.4 is a contact manager like no other app in the app store because it uses the device’s native contact list instead of creating the headache of a second phone book for users to have to search through. The main benefit of this app is the timer feature for temporary contacts. This allows contacts to be archived or completely deleted after a period of time determined by the user. New contacts are added directly to the list via a “Dummy” feature that is unique to this app.

To quickly add a new contact without opening the app, users simply edit the “Dummy” contact that is unique to HiBye. Here they can also set their preferences for the timer, the timeout alert and other settings. When they’re finished, the new contact will appear in their existing list of contacts. When the timer runs down, the user will get an alert and, depending on the settings they chose, HiBye will automatically archive or delete the contact from the list. Archived contacts are saved within the app so they can be easily retrieved if needed, and are viewable on a single list.

HiBye 1.4 features include:
* Apply a timer amount to your temporary contacts
* Edit the timer and categories at any time
* Get an alert when a contact is about to expire, to reset the timer or delete the contact
* See all your timed out contacts in one list; no more searching for individual contacts throughout your regular contact list
* Archive unused contacts, and retrieve them again later with one click
* Preset a default timer that will apply to each new individual contact that is added
* Create a note that will assist you in remembering that contact later on
* All contacts are saved in the iPhone address book, and are all synchronized and backed up into all other devices
* Add up to 8 categories to help organize your contacts
* Categorize all your contacts by group, location or category
* Add contacts from other devices such as computer, mobile me, Google contacts, or any other contact source that is synched with your iPhone
* Use “HiBye Dummy” to add phone numbers from your incoming/outgoing call lists or email

Contacts can be arranged by group (client, sales leads, suppliers etc), location, or category, making it easy to recognize who is calling, and what they might be looking for before the user answers the call. To make it even easier, users can attach notes to each contact to remind them where they met them or who they are.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 0.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
HiBye 1.4 is only $1.99 (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.

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.

Pinehurst, North Carolina – The Assessment and Development Group International (ADGI) announces the release of SuperSell 1.0, a new app for iPhone and iPod touch users. SuperSell draws heavily from ADGI’s extensive experience in sales force development to help account managers, consultative, and relationship sales people create sales strategies complete with specific tactics tailored to each buyer’s motivation, communication style, and worldview.

Complementing any sales training, SuperSell teaches sales people how to understand and adapt to buyer differences, and how to situationally modify what they say and what they do to best meet the expectations and preferences of each of their buyers. The sales strategies are uniquely generated through the app’s comparative analysis of the traits and behavioral styles of the sales people and their buyers.

Two ADGI proprietary tools, the OMS Questionnaire and the Interaction Style Checklist, power this app. The user completes the OMS Questionnaire as a first step (about 7 or 8 minutes), which generates two comprehensive reports describing the user’s Interaction Style (communication and interpersonal behaviors) and the user’s selling style, including how to leverage that style most advantageously to improve personal performance. The user then completes the very brief IS Checklist on each buyer, creating a report on each buyer’s behavioral style, a strategy report of considerable depth and scope, and a Q & A report addressing additional selling considerations for that buyer.

Users can enter as many buyer contacts as their mobile devices will hold. Contact data can be keyed in manually or pulled from the Contacts app on the phone. Once created, Contact reports are available for review and can be emailed to produce hard copies. A comprehensive tutorial is also provided in SuperSell, which explains how to use the app and the Interaction Style behavioral model in selling interactions.

Designed to help sales people increase sales and earnings and improve personal productivity, SuperSell offers many additional job performance and career benefits:

* SuperSell shortens selling cycles and helps sales people use their time more efficiently
* SuperSell strengthens customer relationships to provide additional protection against competition
* SuperSell builds closer, more long-lasting and more mutually beneficial buyer-seller relationships

In account management and consultative selling, the quality of the sales interaction is the most significant variable affecting sales results. As in so many other things where the devil is in the details, it is the subtleties of how the sales person communicates and behaves that make the difference. SuperSell uncovers these critical subtleties that are so important and presents them in direct, easy-to-read reports that can be reviewed while waiting for a sales appointment.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 1.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SuperSell 1.0 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please identify your websites or blog when making a request.
