Intuit app offers payment reminders on iPhone, iPod Touch

Intuit

Intuit said it has a new application called MoneyDue. The free app can turn business appointments into payment reminders on iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

Intuit Inc. said Thursday it has a new application called MoneyDue. The free app can turn business appointments into payment reminders on iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

The app converts calendar appointments into payment reminders. It allows small business owners, for example, the ability to see payments they owe and those that have been received through their calendar appointments.

“One of the biggest problems facing small businesses â€" contractors, freelancers and tutors â€" is that they don’t get paid fast enough,” said Yumi Clark , a director for the Intuit PaymentNetwork in a prepared statement. “MoneyDue allows users to turn time into money by reminding customers to pay when services are due. The app helps busy small business owners professionally manage money flow from their smartphone.”

The app also allows small business owners to send e-bills.

Mountain View-based Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU) specializes in business and financial management technologies for small and mid-sized businesses, financial institutions, consumers and accounting professionals.

Distimo Launches AppLink For Mobile App Publishers, Details Strategies For App Store Success

This month, app store analytics firm Distimo [1]  is taking a step back from analyzing the details of mobile app trends to survey the larger landscape of the app stores themselves. While some of the new entrants to the app store market have launched and failed over the past few years, others like Amazon’s Appstore, have proven to be more successful. Today, many mobile developers are publishing to multiple stores, Distimo notes, which has led the company to launch a new product called AppLink [2] , a short URL service that leads consumers to a landing page for the app in question.

And, as always, the company has released new findings [3] related to app store trends, this month offering up advice on different strategies for app store success, whether developers are focused on high user numbers, revenue or niche markets.

AppLink’s Launch

Today, Distimo is launching AppLink [4] . The service is an alternative to solutions like App.net [5] or GetJar [6] , in that it offers a URL which can be tweeted, shared on Facebook, or used in any online or print marketing campaigns. As with its competition, clicks on the URL turn into actionable insights about a mobile app’s distribution. Likewise, it can help developers track how many consumers want an app on a yet to be supported mobile platform.

Also included with the service, is a web presence which offers an app screenshot, description, pricing info and links to all the different platforms where the app can be found. Visitors to the site can click the “get this app” button to have a link emailed to them or they can scan a QR code. Twitter and Facebook buttons then allow visitors to share the app with their friends. As you would expect, when visitors click on the app’s link from their mobile devices, AppLink automatically directs them to the correct app store.

Distimo says the biggest differences between this and other similar services is that its free and the pages are created automatically using app store data (no need to upload files/screenshots). Plus, AppLink ties into the Distimo Monitor service, which tracks app stores and ad networks in one dashboard.

1.3 Million Apps!

The debut of AppLink ties in nicely with the theme of Distimo’s report, which this month delves into the strategies related to cross-platform app store publishing. Distimo charts out the growth of the various app stores, starting in 2010 (as opposed to iPhone App Store’s launch in 2008, with just 500 applications â€" oh, how times have changed!).

Today, there are 590,000 iOS apps (500K+ work on iPhone, including iPhone-only and Universal apps) and over 400,000 Google Play (Android) apps, Distimo estimates. Combined with the other top app stores (BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and Amazon AppStore), the total number of mobile apps now reaches 1.3 million. Google Play is the most rapidly growing store, and Windows Phone is growing fast too, but the latter only hosts 70,000 applications as of April 2012. Meanwhile, Amazon’s Appstore grew 10% in the past month, and now has 35,000 applications available. BlackBerry App World, sadly, “appeared to come to a halt,” says Distimo.

Cross-Publishers

While 1.3 million applications is a lot of apps, Distimo points out that’s not the number of unique apps. Facebook, for example, has numerous mobile versions, as do other top publishers like Rovio (they of Angry Birds fame). Even smaller publishers who hit it big start to go cross-platform, as we witnessed yesterday with Flipboard , and recently with Instagram, pre-acquisition .

Remove the duplicates from the system, and there are “only” 980,000 unique applications, which means that every app is published 1.3 times on average. The graph below shows the interconnectivity between the stores, as determined by analyzing the top 300 most popular free and paid applications. For example, the proportion of top apps in Google Play which are also available in the iPhone App Store is 37% (or 222 applications).

You can also see how interconnected the iPhone and iPad Stores are, for obvious reasons, as well as how Google Play connects with Amazon’s Appstore. BlackBerry App World and Google Play stores are strongly tied, too.

Distimo found the 10 most successful cross-store publishers to be Rovio, OMGPOP, Gameloft, Electronic Arts, Google, Microsoft, Apple, ZeptoLab UK Limited (Cut the Rope), Disney and Adobe. 

Cross-Publishing Strategies

The firm wrapped its report with a detailed section on the “how to’s” of cross-store publishing, offering three different strategies for app publishers to pursue: 1) focus on a high number of users, 2) focus on revenue and 3) focus on a niche market.

High Users

To achieve high user numbers, free apps (but of course) do better, as the free volume in all stores is a minimum of 10 times higher than paid volume. Developers can then choose to monetize apps via ads or premium offerings/in-app purchases. However, Distimo advises developers not lock up essential portions of the app under an in-app purchase if high user numbers is the strategy, because usage will be lower and reviews may be bad.

For this strategy, Google Play is also the best place to start because of its higher volume. (The average daily volumes in the iPhone and iPad App Stores are 82% and 20%, respectively, of that in Google Play). To secure over 50% of the free downloads market, developers need to target two stores: iPhone and Google Play.

High Revenue

For developers focused on revenue, country choice comes into the picture. The free vs. paid ratio in the U.S. iPhone App Store is 11x, but in China it’s 50x.

Distimo recommends a strategy of targeting the iPad App Store, followed by iPhone, then Google Play, Windows Phone, and Amazon. The iPad App Store should come first because of the higher selling price, making each iPad user more valuable (i.e., profitable) than others.

A two-store strategy is needed to achieve more than 50% of the potential one-off revenue, but this time, developers should target iPhone and iPad.

Developers should also consider in-app strategies to maximize revenue. The iPhone’s in-app revenue is higher than the iPad’s. While Amazon only recently introduced in-app purchases to its Appstore, the paid volume history indicates these users are willing to pay (more so than Google Play users, that is). Below, the revenue distribution among the different monetization options per store.

Want to know why there are so many iPhone apps? Says Distimo, with this strategy, publishers can secure more than 50% of the revenue by focusing on the iPhone App Store.

Niche Market

Finally, Distimo looks at focusing on a niche market. Educational apps are more popular on the iPad, for example, but in many categories, the Google Play store will deliver the most free download volume. The exceptions, in addition to Education, are News Stand (iPad), News (iPad), Games (iPhone), Entertainment (iPhone), Lifestyle (iPhone), Books & Reference (iPhone), Travel & Navigation (iPhone) and Sports (iPhone).

We know app stores. Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store marketplace filled with equally fragmented information and statistics. Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores have clearly shown since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution. The app store model offers an enormous opportunity for developers to get their content out and dramatically improves content discovery by consumers. However, the mobile market...

New PNDs, new Free iPhone App in France

French mapping portal Mappy is pursuing its development in the navigation market with the launch of a new iPhone application and a new range of Mappy-branded Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs).

On Wednesday Mappy launched the second version of their free iPhone navigation software. After a first version released in December 2011 with AND maps, the French mapping brand is coming back with the same software (from NDrive) but this time with TomTom maps, a more premium offering that is likely to rejoice users.

While the navigation software from NDrive works well, the minimalist integration of PagesJaunes local search (the parent company of Mappy) is a bit clunky, as it is a very basic integration of the PagesJaunes Mobile website into the IOS app.

Menus are too small and too many clicks have to be performed for a driving usage. In addition to that, a pop up - asking the user to agree to allow PagesJaunes to use its location - is displayed for almost every search, quite annoying. These issues already found in the previous version could have been corrected to get a more polished interface.

Nevertheless the application is currently number 1 in downloads in iTunes in France, pushed by a massive web banner campaign on the homepage of Mappy’s portal today (i.e. in April 2012 the portal enjoyed an average of 580,000 unique visitors per day and 8 Milllion in the full month according to audience monitoring firm Mediamétrie).

The monetization of the application still appears to be work in progress, thus far limited to the local search module that displays banner ads, most of them geo-targeted.

Premium content such as other countries maps, traffic, speedcam, etc... are not yet available on the embedded store which unfortunately looks as empty as a soviet era russian department store.

BreatheMate Helps Users Feel Relaxed With Extra Energy And Health Boosts

Cupertino, California â€" Sports competitors, successful business people, high-profile celebrities and anyone who wants to improve their overall wellbeing and quality of life have all benefited from completing breathing exercises on a regular basis. In addition to providing extra energy and health boosts breathing patterns also recharge cells with the maximum amount of oxygen as well as improve the endocrine system and metabolic processes in the human body.

The health benefits of regular breathing exercises have long been studied by science and the breathing technique contained in BreatheMate is based on the commonly recognized 1:4:2 (breathe-in, hold, breathe-out) pattern. Now, anyone with an iPhone can easily and efficiently benefit from using this breathing pattern several time a day, with the convenience of an intuitive app that is within reach at any time of the day.

Users can set their preferred hold-breath-time before beginning an exercise, and once started the color-coded dial clearly and precisely illustrates the 1:4:2 breathing pattern that should be followed. Users then simply need to breathe-in (1 interval), hold (4 intervals) and breathe-out (2 intervals) for the indicated time during 10 cycles in order to complete the refreshing and health benefiting program at any time of day.

Â"Inspired by the overall benefits of simple breathing exercises demonstrated at the 2011 UPW Anthony Robbins conference we wanted to create an app which allows anyone to complete the same exercises using an easy-to-follow process,Â" commented Maxim Cherepovitsyn, Founder of SpreadCode. Â"Using our vast experience of innovative software design and development we have created the BreatheMate app, which ensures breathing routines can be a rewarding part of everyones daily routine.Â"

BreatheMate, the breathing exercise assistant, is available now for iPhone as a free download in the App Store.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BreatheMate 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category.

Canadian Mobile Start-Up Fongo Inc. Eliminates Need for Voice Plans

CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO, May 31, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.

Ontario based start-up Fongo Inc., whose backers include VC firm Tech Capital Partners, and a handful of storied Canadian investors, have become Canada's fastest growing mobile telecommunication company.

Fongo has successfully installed its free calling applications on hundreds of thousands of smart phones and devices and foresees over one million Canadian subscribers to their products by the end of 2012. Fongo's popular free calling mobile phone app - Dell Voice became the #1 social networking app in the Apple App Store, shortly after launching in February. By the end of 2012, approximately one in seven smartphones in Canada will be using Fongo as a voice and messaging platform.

Fongo's suite of free calling platforms are on track to save Canadians over $100 million by offering free calling and free premium services like voicemail and call display. Fongo works by routing calls over the user's Wi-Fi or 3G data connection, eliminating the need for expensive voice minutes. Fongo users have reported saving between $10 to $80 a month on their mobile bills by eliminating the costs for domestic, long distance, local airtime minutes, and voice mail fees.

Fongo's mobile apps feature a free Canadian phone number, free local and long distance calling, free voice mail, free call display and are available in all Canadian provinces and on Apple iPhones, Android smartphones and iPod/iPad devices. Fongo's support for BlackBerry smartphones will be released end of June 2012.

Fongo is closely affiliated with Fibernetics, a VoIP based CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier), which chose to spin out Fongo after discovering the demand for its free calling app through a regional beta test.

Dave Bullock, President of Fongo said, "Fongo is the first company to solve the puzzle of how to offer free calling, and how to do it profitably. The response from Canadians has been overwhelming and highlights the huge appetite for reducing or eliminating mobile phone bills in this country. Our latest iPhone free calling app was installed on nearly four per cent of all iPhones in Canada, after only 90 days, and we've only scratched the surface of what Fongo will be releasing in coming months."

Harvey Carroll, president of Grip Limited and a Fongo Advisory Board Member said, "Fongo has created a customer adoption platform that is catching the attention of some of the most coveted brands in North America. With Fongo, a new and highly intuitive media was born out of perhaps one of the oldest, not to mention most expensive utilities out there - the phone. Fongo is providing consumers with exceptional value and a great experience. With the incredible number of users switching to their various apps, they are undoubtedly disrupting the marketplace."

John Stix, Chief Marketing Officer of Fongo stated, "We are well on our way to hitting north of a billion mobile page views based on our rate of customer adoption and are preparing to launch new products and platform enhancements. Giving our partners the ability to connect with our customer base increases the user experience, and continues to drive the cost of communications to zero. We are already saving our customers hundreds of dollars a year, which translates into an intense amount of loyalty." Stix added, "Our partners are chosen based on what the average Canadian consumes each and every day - technology, a vacation, groceries and so on and by providing savings, goodwill gets put back into the brand responsible for delivering it."

About Fongo Inc.

Fongo Inc. is a next generation digital communication platform that delivers the end of voice costs for smartphones in Canada. Fongo's application works on any iPhone, Android based phone and soon, BlackBerry. Users receive a new Canadian telephone number, free long distance calling to most Canadian cities, unlimited airtime, voice mail, caller ID and many more free features. The Fongo voice platform is supported with a sophisticated ad media delivery platform and in-house intellectual property that ensures a content rich user experience while potentially saving the user hundreds of dollars per year on voice costs. Fongo enjoys privileged access to Fibernetics, a Canadian CLEC that owns and operates its own coast-to-coast network in Canada. For more information visit:

Everything You Need to Know Before Dropping Your Paycheck on the iPhone 3GS Smart Phone, Computers And Technology

Later iPhone models sell like hotcakes, however they cannot compare to the long-lasting popularity and features of the iPhone 3GS Smart Phone. The iPhone 3GS Smart Phone remains a very popular phone to get, and it is affordable as well due to new iPhone releases. High quality in every way, the iPhone 3GS Smart Phone may not be as good as the latest iPhone’s, but it still packs a punch in regard to features and benefits.

If you’re a reader it is good to know that it is possible to read books on your iPhone 3GS. The Apple App Store has the iBooks app for free and it gives you immediate access to more than 200,000 books. Many of these books are free, but even the ones you have to pay for are a lot cheaper than buying a hardcover or paperback. You can even download the app for the Kindle which works for the books in the Amazon Kindle store. This means that when you are the owner of an iPhone 3GS, there is no need for a separate Kindle or any other e-book reader because your phone will fulfill that purpose for you. The one drawback, of course, is that the screen is a lot smaller, so if you’re an avid e-book reader you may still want a Kindle, or perhaps an iPad for this purpose.

Storing, editing, and sending your photos from your iPhone 3GS Smart Phone is one of its best features. Taking and organizing photos has never been easier; simply categorize your photos by place, face, or event. Editing your images is a breeze â€" simply download additional apps to your smartphone so that you can edit them exactly the way you want. Images can be cropped exactly how you want them â€" all you have to do is download the Crop for Free application for your iPhone. To make your images look even better, there is an app that you can download called iRetouch Lite. Whether you are editing a single photo, or groups of photos all at once, you can do this using applications that are downloadable to your iPhone.

There is one really great and innovative app but it won’t be of interest to you if you aren’t a runner. On the other hand, it may even motivate you to start running, which is a healthy activity for anyone to do. This is the Nike+ app which both Nike and Apple worked hard to create. There is a sensor that you can place into your Nike running shoe that will connect to a receiver within your iPhone (and iPod). This allows you to keep track of your progress when you run -your speed and the distance you cover. With the addition of a Bluetooth headset you are able to talk on the phone while you run too. The Nike+ app is currently being given away for free, but this may be a limited time offer.

The quality of features that are included with the iPhone 3GS smart phone are generally expected from any product that is designed and produced by Apple. People that cannot stand being behind the current trends might prefer the iPhone 4 over the iPhone 3GS. If, however, you’d prefer to save some money and still get a smart phone with many great features, the iPhone 3GS may be just right for you.

Fat Birds Build a Bridge!
By Estelion - download for iPhone [2]

Your aim in this puzzler is to build bridges across 60 colourful levels so that a series of rather large (read: fat) birds can go about their merry business.

Naturally, given the birds's weight, your constructions will have to be incredibly stable and strong, so it's not a case of throwing a few logs together.

Your mission will see you visit five unique areas: the Red Desert, the Caverns of the Eternal Night, the World of Snow, the Caves of Ice, and the Everburning Tropics.

Big Win Soccer
By Hothead Games - download for iPhone and iPad

Big Win Soccer allows you to create your very own dream team, train them up, and compete against opponents from across the globe.

The coins you earn as you play can be used to purchase Bronze, Silver, and Gold card packs, which contain new players for your team. 

You can, of course, also amass tons of coins through in-app purchases if you wish to move a little faster.

Facts And Features Of The iPhone 3GS Smart Phone

With so much being said about the iPhone 5 being released, it is super easy to forget that there are quite a lot of older and lower priced models like the iPhone 3GS smart phone that are out there. In fact, this is a great time to purchase this particular phone since AT&T has such great deals on them these days. Of course, before you spend money on this or any of the smart phones that are out there, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with all of the most important features.

The days of calling and receiving phone calls from your phone or over â€" smartphone technology allows you to do a lot more with your cell. To make sure you never get lost, the iPhone 3GS Smart Phone has a GPS system ready to use. GPS units that are in cars are very useful, yet you should also have one with you in case you are trying to find your way in a metropolitan area while walking. The app that you will need is called the Maps & Compass application â€" just download it and you are ready to go. Finding North is no problem at all using this app. Finding a place to go has never been easier using the Maps function on the app. So if you’re walking around an unfamiliar neighborhood, you can type in something like “hotel” and the nearest hotels will appear on your map.

The iPhone 3GS gives you many options for storing, editing and sending photos. Taking and organizing photos has never been easier; simply categorize your photos by place, face, or event. To make your photos look better than ever, download apps that can help you with editing and processing your images. The Crop For Free app, for example, does just what the name suggests, allowing you to easily crop any of your photos to your satisfaction. To make your images look even better, there is an app that you can download called iRetouch Lite. You can even edit multiple groups of images by downloading the right apps to your iPhone.

You can find one really great app that works fantastic if you are a runner. On the other hand, it may even motivate you to start running, which is a healthy activity for anyone to do. This app is the Nike+ app which is a joint effort from both Nike and Apple. You place a sensor in your Nike running shoe and it connects to a receiver that sits in your iPhone (it works with iPods too). The app tracks your progress in terms of your speed and how much ground you cover. When you add in a Bluetooth headset you can talk to people while you are running. The Nike+ app is currently free but that might be a limited time offer.

The iPhone 3GS smart phone is a classic device that Apple created and holds up perfectly well against other phones. You may want to compare it to later models such as the iPhone 4 and determine if it’s really worth it to pay a lot more for features you may not even use. On the other hand, if you are very intent on having the most recent iPhone you would be better off waiting until the iPhone 5 is released.

Intuit Launches MoneyDue App to Turn Calendar Appointments into Payments

Today, Intuit announced a new iPhone app called MoneyDue that turns calendar appointments into billable services, with payment reminders and the option to send E-bills through the Intuit PaymentNetwork.

One of the biggest problems facing small businesses -- contractors, freelancers, and tutors -- is that they don't get paid fast enough," said Yumi Clark, a director for the Intuit PaymentNetwork. "MoneyDue allows users to turn time into money by reminding customers to pay when services are due. The app helps busy small business owners professionally manage money flow from their smartphone."

MoneyDue, for iPhone and iPod Touch, is available for free in the iTunes app store. The app syncs with your calendar to turn appointments into money owed. You simply add a dollar amount to the title of the event on the calendar and import it into MoneyDue. The app will ask you to pair it with a contact and then add it to their account as an amount due.

All you have to do is make sure calendar events have a dollar amount in the title.All you have to do is make sure calendar events have a dollar amount in the title.The app also tracks payments made by cash or check, and you can send E-bill reminders to clients through the Intuit PaymentNetwork [1] . This online payment service allows small business owners to send invoices with a payment link, so clients can pay online via bank transfer or credit card.

Customers can send a one-time payment as a guest, or set up recurring automatic payments. Bank transfers cost 50 cents per transaction, and credit card payments are charged 3.25 percent. There are no setup, monthly, or cancellation fees -- just the per-transaction fees. Intuit PaymentNetwork also syncs with QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online.

For some other payment processing options, check out our recent mobile payment-processing service roundup .

Hands on with MoneyDue

We had the opportunity to get an early look at the app on an iPhone 4, and it looks good. All you have to do is remember to include a dollar amount in the event title when creating an appointment on the calendar. It can be a one-time appointment or a recurring appointment.

MoneyDue shows how much you've been paid and who still owes you.MoneyDue shows how much you've been paid and who still owes you.When you open MoneyDue, you'll see a summary of how much you've been paid recently, how much you are owed, and a list of who owes how much. Tap on a client with a balance, and you'll see a list of the individual charges, buttons to add new charges or payments, and a button to send an E-bill.

There are also buttons to add a new charge or payment from the home screen, in addition to a button to import charges from the calendar. MoneyDue scans the calendar for appointments in the next 60 days that have dollar amounts attached to them and allows you to choose which ones you'd like to import.

The next step is to pair each event with a contact from the phone's contact list. This is the part where I wish there were a bit more automation and filtering. You choose from the phone's full contact list, which means you must mix your client list with all of your personal contacts. Also, there is no way to batch pair similarly named appointments or recurring appointments. You must go through each appointment and link it to a contact individually.

Calendar events are imported individually.Calendar events are imported individually.It doesn't take long and it's not a big deal if you only have a handful of weekly clients, but my average studio load of private violin lessons is around 30 students per week. That's more than 200 appointments to click through in a 60-day import. The vast majority of those are recurring weekly lessons, and it would be great if the app could associate a client with a recurring appointment, so I would only have to connect them to the first calendar event and it would automatically connect the rest.

Once that is done, tracking and recording payments is easy. When you select an individual client and tap the "New Payment" button, the app assumes that you are being paid the full amount on the current date, but both of those fields are editable if that's not the case. You can leave a note about the payment and choose whether it was paid by cash or check. MoneyDue syncs with Intuit PaymentNetwork to automatically record E-bill payments that were made online.

E-bills allow you to send extra reminders to pay.E-bills allow you to send extra reminders to pay.You can also add new fees to a client from within the app, but that will not add an appointment to the calendar. This can be useful if you need to charge a registration fee or some other fee that is not directly linked to a specific appointment.

Overall, the app is clean, straightforward, and easy to use. It would work best for someone who manages a handful to a dozen or so appointments a week and already keeps their calendar and client contact list in their iPhone. It does an excellent job of bridging the gap between having a calendar of appointments and keeping track of who still owes you for which appointment. The convenience of E-bills also means you don't have to bring up money in front of kids during their lessons; it can all be done online, outside of the lesson time.
