Houston, Texas – Vidicons LLC, the US-based video equipment company, has recently launched an updated version of the Vidii – iMessage Video Sharing app. The app enables users to share video clips, and memes to enhance their conversations in the iMessage app, making conversations much more fun and interactive.

“Emojis could get boring,” says Co-founder Mr. E.L. Mont, “but Vidii video clips give you the perfect way to express your feelings by sharing video clips that truly match your mood.”

Indeed, with the Vidii app, users can do much more than sharing the same old emojis to express their feelings or react to a post. The app offers thousands of short video clips in HD format, enabling users to have spontaneous conversations that are lively and fun. Each video clip is the size of 1 or 2 tweets, which saves users time as well as data.

“All you need to do is start typing a thought, dialogue or even an actor’s name to find hundreds of clips that exactly sum up your mood. You can also explore various titles and stream them on multiple devices whenever you find time,” explains Mr. Mont. He adds that “The app has crossed 11k downloads within 3 months of its launch. It shows how much users appreciate the ingenuity we have put into their conversations with an easy to use app that utilizes an emotion-based AI engine.”

Here are some of the features that users love in the Vidii app:
* Search videos by simply typing an emotion, quote, movie/TV series or an actor’s name
* Search and share your favorite movie clips and dialogues to express yourself better
* Discover new movies and shows by clicking on the title. Instantly stream on your phone or view on another device later in your free time
* Create your own reaction video “folder” by saving your favorites to access them quickly when texting

New features after the upgrade include:
* Send requests to have your favorite shows and characters added to Vidii
* Enjoy a more intuitive interface to share the app with friends
* Find a handy ‘how to use’ guide to fully enjoy the app
* Enhanced control functionality for improved user experience

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 10.0 or later
* 6.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Vidii – iMessage Video Sharing 1.2 is currently available for Free on the App Store in the Entertainment category.

The founders – E. L. Mont, Rama Lahori, and Paul Martin made Vidii app although it could be looked at as just another chat app that lets you send messages or videos, share pictures and post to your social networks like any other messaging app, its more than that. It’s not about sending videos or even replacing text…it’s about shared personal experiences. Vidii is about fun and a great way for friends to quickly put a smile on each other’s faces during the wonderful craziness of life like only movies and shows can.

Shenzhen, Guangdong – AudFree is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of AudFree DRM Audio Converter for macOS and Windows. As one of the most popular music streaming services, Apple Music has already surpassed 40 million subscribers so far and this data is fast increasing every minute.

With an Apple Music subscription, users can download any song from Apple Music to devices with an Apple ID. However, many users found that Apple Music songs can play on authorized devices by Apple only. In other words, even if they have subscribed to Apple Music, they can’t enjoy our Apple Music playlists on other media players or burn them to CDs.

“Although DRM is a useful method to protect the artists’ rights, it’s an unfair trade for users who are restricted to play purchased songs on Apple supported devices only. Therefore, we developed a practical Apple Music DRM removal tool to enable customers to bypass DRM restrictions and play them everywhere freely,” said Charles, the sale manager of AudFree.

AudFree DRM Audio Converter’s Features and Benefits

3. Play Apple Music streams on multiple popular devices offline
4. With User-friendly interface, convert Apple Music at 30X faster speed
5. Preserve original ID 3 tags and other metadata information
6. Lifetime free upgrade and 100% secure

With these powerful features, Apple Music subscribers can transfer DRM-free Apple Music tracks, playlists and albums to any device for enjoying, such as iPod, Zune, Sony, and other portable players. In addition, users can keep all Apple Music files on devices permanently even without an Apple Music subscription. Apart from Apple Music, this smart software works well with iTunes audiobooks, songs, and Audible books.

Somerville, Massachusetts – Independent development team Bit Lasso today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Reveal 2.0 for macOS, the important update to their popular and easy-to-use application that allows users to quickly search and view their PowerPoint and Keynote slide decks. Reveal allows users to save time and frustrations when searching for a particular slide.

Before the release of Reveal, PowerPoint and Keynote users were forced to spend extended periods of time looking for slides to re-use in new presentations. Reveal also saves time by preventing the need to re-create content that users already have.

“If you work with slides, you often open a large number of files and folders, looking for one particular slide. For years I felt the same pain,” shares Bit Lasso founder Mitch Haile. “I wasted hours! In frustration, I would regularly give up and recreate the slide, wasting even more time. Finally, I did what any rational person would do: I quit my job and created the solution I needed!”

Reveal works with both PowerPoint and Keynote slide decks. The application detects how your slides are related and automatically organizes them during a search. Everything happens automatically, eliminating the need to manually build libraries, tag files or organizing slide decks. Reveal adjust to the way users work with their presentations, not vice versa.

Version 2.0 allows users to view hundreds of slides during searches, quickly throwing away unwanted search results, allowing them to zero in on the slides they want, all in a matter of a few seconds. Users can also view neighboring slides, extract images from their slides, and begin new searches by image, slide variation, file paths and file and folder names, and much more.

Reveal works well with Mac screens of all sizes, from a 12-inch MacBook up to a 27-inch iMac Pro. Users can quickly view up to 1,000 slides, easily zeroing down to their needed slides.

Who Uses Reveal?
* Professors and researchers use it to prepare lectures for classes and presentations for meetings.
* Marketers and graphic designers can use Reveal to find and compare slides.
* Sales professionals can customize slides for their customers, preventing “slide sprawl.”

Users can easily compare slides by sending them to the Reveal compare window with a simple keystroke or click of the mouse. Users can send a single slide, or an entire group of slides to the compare window, where they can jump to a deck in Finder or open them directly in PowerPoint or Keynote.

Reveal is economical, there is no need to sign up for an account or to pay a monthly subscription to access their slide decks. Plus, Reveal keeps your information safe and secure, right on the user’s hard drive, eliminating cloud storage-related worries.

Features Include:
* Limit searches to specific folders, file name patterns, or date range.
* Immediately jump to any slide directly in PowerPoint or Keynote.
* Open multiple search windows – retaining one set of results while searching another set.
* Don’t want to search by keyword? Instead, view all the slides related to a particular deck.
* Jump into any parent folder in the Finder or start a new search for the slides within that folder.

Unlike a “Spotlight” search in Finder, where users only see the presentation slide covers, a Reveal search displays the actual slides, not just the first slide in the deck. Users can view different versions of the same slide grouped together, offering the ability to jump directly to the slide they want.

Reveal makes it easy to find crucial information that’s normally buried in PowerPoint and Keynote presentations. This is especially true for users who have multiple versions of the same slide or presentation.

“It’s frustrating when you can’t find a slide you want to use. It’s a time waster to look for slides manually, and if you end up re-creating a slide, you’ve wasted even more time,” continues Mitch. “With Reveal, I’ve created a new way to find your slides rapidly, so you can build your best materials and be the most dynamic presenter you can be. Every time.”

Device Requirements:
* macOS 10.12 Sierra or Later
* macOS 10.13 High Sierra Compatible
* 301 MB Hard Drive Space

Pricing and Availability:
Reveal 2.0 is only $129.00 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the Bit Lasso website. Review copies are available upon request.

Tokyo, Japan – GINKAN Inc., managing company of SynchroLife, the new social restaurant review service with AI and a token economy, has announced a business alliance and seed round with Tokyo Stock Exchange listed Ceres Inc. (TSE: 3696), one of Japan’s leading blockchain investment companies. For this seed round Ceres Inc. were joined by Fujio Komura (Former CEO of Cybird Holdings) who also participated in GINKAN’s angel round in 2017. This 720,000 USD (80 million Japanese yen) seed round was an allocation of new shares. Including the angel round, GINKAN has raised one million USD to date.

Through this new partnership, GINKAN and Ceres hope to find synergy between Ceres’ mobile point media with over 3.5 million users and GINKAN’s blockchain technology based services and development.

About Token Economy & AI Based Social Restaurant Review Service “SynchroLife:”
SynchroLife is a social restaurant discovery service where users post reviews of their experiences dining out. SynchroLife’s restaurant recommendation system uses artificial intelligence to analyze and learn each user’s dining preferences based on their reviews and activity within the app. The service then personalizes search results and recommendations to guide users to the best restaurants from their database of over 170,000 reviews.

SynchroLife’s Hong Kong based management company SynchroLife Limited held an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for their original cryptographic token the SynchroCoin (SYC) in September 2017. Since the ICO, SynchroLife has been developing a token reward system that allows users who post restaurant reviews in SynchroLife to earn SynchroCoin as a monetary incentive and reward for their quality content. SynchroLife integrated these new features in the service on August 2, 2018, successfully launching the world’s first restaurant review platform with token rewards and a cryptocurrency wallet.

SynchroLife plans to continue development of new features to allow users to exchange SynchroCoin tokens for dining tickets and coupons, to pay for meals at participating restaurants, and to create a semi-autonomously growing platform. SynchroLife is available for use in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, and has already seen users register in over 82 countries with restaurant reviews posted in over 48 countries. SynchroLife currently has a strong user base in Japan but aims to grow globally as a platform to help users share their great dining experiences from around the world.

SynchroLife and managing company GINKAN were also recently chosen as part of Plug and Play Japan, the Japan branch of one of the world’s largest accelerators born in Silicon Valley.

About Ceres Inc;
Ceres Inc. manages a digital point service that allows users to exchange their points to cash, digital money, and other assets. Ceres was quick to see high affinity with their traditional digital point services and the growing blockchain industry, which has lead them to become one of Japan’s leading companies investing in cryptocurrency and blockchain related technology. Ceres has been aggressively investing in a wide range of blockchain related projects since 2015, and their portfolio includes Bitbank and Mercury cryptocurrency exchanges, the Ethereum blockchain game “Kuriputon”, and more. With their investment in GINKAN, Ceres hope to further promote their cryptocurrency and blockchain related projects and create new synergy through cryptocurrency and blockchain related technology.

Funding with a Token Equity Convertible (TEC):
As part of this business alliance and seed round between GINKAN and Ceres, the allocation of new shares also contains a token equity convertible (TEC) for GINKAN’s subsidiary company SynchroLife Limited’s cryptocurrency token SynchroCoin. This allows the investing parties to exit even if GINKAN is not listed on the stock market or sold, by choosing to convert their equity into tokens.

The growth of ICO fundraising has allowed many startups to raise funds without giving away shares but companies who choose to do an ICO must deal with the tradeoff that traditional funding becomes difficult after ICO. However, using a token equity convertible with funding resolves this issue and allowed GINKAN to hold a traditional seed round and form a business alliance even after their subsidiary company raised funds through ICO.

GINKAN Company Information:
Company Name: GINKAN Inc
Representative: Founder & CEO Tomochika Kamiya
Location: Bikuseru Shinjuku 1F, 7-26-7 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 160-0022 Japan
Established: December 2015
Capital: 300,000 USD (32,250,000 Japanese yen, including reserve funds as of the end of March 2018)

Ceres Company Information:
Company Name: Ceres Inc
Representative: President Satoshi Takagi
Location: Setagaya Business Square Tower 24F, 4 Chome-10-1 Yoga, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, 158-0097 Japan
Established: January 2005
Capital: 15,740,000 USD (1,749 million Japanese yen, as of the end of March 2018)

In this transition period as ICO fundraising becomes more commonplace, GINKAN and Ceres hope their flexible fundraising style will serve as an example to assist other startup companies and contribute to the further growth of a new global token economy.

Alexandria, Virginia – Batelz app, a social video hosting app designed by tech startup Solo Tekk LLC was recently featured on America’s top TV show, Newswatch, that discusses emerging technologies, travel, and entertainment. The video was broadcast on July 23rd at 7AM ET/PT on the much-loved AMC channel that also airs the gripping TV series, The Walking Dead and it could be watched again on online.

Mrs. Candice Armstrong-Addison, Founder of Solo Tekk, conceptualized Batelz to provide individuals a global platform to display their skills.

“Today, we live in the folds of a virtual world. The younger generation is so ensconced in technology that they hardly have time to go out and pursue their passions. Batelz is designed to encourage and motivate users to explore their passions and showcase their skills to the world. It could be dancing, singing, acrobatics, miming, or any other skill you are good at-the app helps you win adulation for your talents, grow a following, and also challenge other users to compete in a healthy environment,” explains Mrs. Candice. “There’s always an audience for every skill, and Batelz app lets performers find that audience instantly!” she adds.

Batelz has approximately 10K users since its app store debut 6 months ago and the number is constantly increasing. Aimed at fostering social connections through safe and fun video challenges, it has become a hub of entertaining content where users can search for new performers, praise their talent, and follow them.

How it works?
The video hosting app allows users to engage in safe online and offline challenges. Users can enter a live challenge for a duration of 90 seconds or pose an offline challenge by creating an offline video and posting it. Similar to the popular reality shows on television, the original and challenger videos appear side by side in a single window for viewers to act as judges and assign claps to the video they found better. The user who receives the maximum predetermined claps first wins the challenge.

Performers can also cultivate a fan following by creating offline videos and uploading them. These videos are open to challenges from other users, and the winners receive virtual rewards that keep them motivated to perform better each time.

“Unlike most social networks that encourage virtual relations, Batelz creates a platform that allows people to share their talents and engage with each other in a more active fashion,” adds Mrs. Candice.

The minimum age requirement for registering with Batelz is thirteen years.

Features:
* Live Batelz: Users can engage in spontaneous 90-second online challenges with the Live Broadcast feature.
* Offline Batelz: Allows users to create their own offline videos and challenge other users. The app also shows trending leaderboards under the originating video.
* Virtual Rewards: Challenge winners earn interesting virtual rewards.
* Build Followership: The app allows users to garner a follower base.

Device Requirements for iPhone:
* Size: 114.4 MB
* System: Requires iOS 10.2 or later.
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Device Requirements for Android:
* Size: 31 MB
* System: 4.4 and up

Pricing and Availability:
The app is currently available for Free on the App Store in the Social Networking category and also available for Free on the Google Play Store in the Social category.
