Integration New Media, Inc. (INM), a leader in building engaging digital experiences, today announced the release of the new iPhone application built for SOSgarde (http://www.sosgarde.ca), a popular website that connects parents with local babysitters, nannies, senior caregivers and pet sitters. Available for free in the iTunes store, this French app enables mobile moms and dads to instantly find babysitters and nannies wherever they are. Canadian parents-on-the-go can enter their residential postal code to tap into a pool of over 11,000 sitters across the country. Parents can then short-list sitters from their local neighbourhood, view the sitters’ detailed profiles and choose the one that best fits their needs.

A record-breaking 20 million iPhone and Android devices were activated, and 1.2 billion applications were downloaded between December 25 and December 31, 2011, and the use of smartphones among mothers is also growing at an exponential rate.

According to the 21st Century Mobile Mom® Report, adoption of smartphone use among mothers has risen 64% in the last two years. More than half of the 5,000 women that were surveyed said they purchased a smartphone as a direct result of becoming a mom. They now spend more time on their smartphones than they do watching television, listening to the radio, and reading magazines and newspapers.

“Parents are increasingly using smartphones and other mobile devices to manage their hectic parenting and work schedules,” said Paulina Podgorska, founder, SOSgarde. “They are using apps today to find a restaurant and book a reservation, now they can take the next natural step and use the SOSgarde app to find a sitter on-the-go and immediately contact them to arrange for care.”

Using their iPhones, SOSgarde gives parents full access to a large database of 11,000 plus sitters that are registered to the website, covering all of Quebec as well as other parts of Canada. Parents can quickly search for sitters in their neighbourhood, view the profile of each sitter, and conveniently call or send an email to the sitter directly from within the SOSgarde application.

The application is designed from the ground up with mobile users in mind. Very user friendly, it focuses on the most common tasks that parents need access to and keeps the data on-screen to a minimum for easy review and scanning. The app’s simple search functions, easy-to-scan information and ability to immediately connect with sitters by both phone and email make this application a must-download for busy parents.

Availability and Pricing
The English version of the application, SOSsitter, will be available shortly. The SOSgarde iPhone app is available today for free in the Apple App Store.

As more people own smartphones, it is important to create mobile marketing apps that focus on three key principles: immediacy, simplicity and context, according to a new research report by Forrester. With this in mind, Doobons.com has launched its new iPhone/iPod/iPad app as a discreet and easy way for patients to instantly locate nearby medical marijuana dispensaries and other resources. The easy-to-use medical marijuana app is already earning rave reviews from users, and has a five-star rating—the highest rating available in iTunes.

The Doobons.com website was just launched in November 2011 as a way to simplify online searches for medical cannabis resources and make medical cannabis approachable to all adults, even those with no previous experience with the medical marijuana industry. As a smartphone app, Doobons offers an even more convenient, on-the-go tool.

“Mobile apps are a necessity—people are always on the go and not in front of their laptop,” said John, founder of Doobons.com. “We launched the app 10 days ago, and without even marketing it, over a hundred people have downloaded it—and the number of daily downloads is growing fast.”

The Doobons app’s simple interface allows users to quickly find resources like dispensaries, doctors, lawyers, delivery services and discounts in the immediate area. Users can either allow their device to use geolocation to pull up medical marijuana resources nearby, or search by city name or zip code and customize the type of search results in the settings tab.

Users can also choose to have the app display search results as icons on a Google map or as a list. A single click on a location reveals contact information and directions to the business. The simplicity and usefulness of these features make the app highly recommended by users, who describe it as “easy to use” and “extremely handy.”

Doobons.com was designed to be convenient and to appeal to everyone, including those who are new to the world of medical cannabis. While most of today’s online medical marijuana directories are designed for patients who already know at least something about using medical marijuana, Doobons.com is designed to be user friendly for patients of all ages and experience levels.

Doobons.com is more than just another online medical marijuana directory. The site’s News, Resource, and Blog pages provide valuable information and advice for patients and caregivers. The information posted helps new patients learn about the ins and outs of the world of medical marijuana, and existing patients stay abreast of developments.

The five-star-rated Doobons app is now available for free on the iTunes app store for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad that runs on iOS 4.3 or later.

W3 Mobile has just finished development of the Live Gooroo App, and it’s good news for users with PC troubles. Users don’t have to be a tech savvy “Gooroo” either. The app has a very user-friendly interface and provides helpful FAQs and support resources to assist users. It has multiple programs for diagnosing and repairing computers and includes anti-virus and anti-spyware utilities.

With Live Gooroo™, users can save time, cut costs and fix issues themselves through an automated computer repair process. Live Gooroo provides a simple menu for users to fix problems and optimize performance on their computers with just the tap of a button. This new Mobile App is the first of its kind and has some very useful repair utilities for PCs.

Automation is the key. The simple button commands in the app do all the work for users without the usual point, click, open and download. More importantly, the mobile device is running on a separate OS protected from viruses, problems and inconsistencies of desktop troubleshooting and has a knowledge base of resources at your fingertips.

An important component of this technology relies on the targeted toolset of repair routines. We developed a set of routines to handle most of the day to day issues that affect computers. This includes performance, Windows errors, memory, storage problems, security, software, hardware, viruses and spyware.

Designed to take advantage of the iOS5’s ability to track location-based contacts, iKeepInTouch is an innovative free new app that helps users keep in touch with their important contacts, schedule meetings when they are, or will soon be, near their contacts’ location, and even steer clear of contacts they’d prefer to avoid.

When used as a reminder app, iKeepInTouch lets users create alerts for select contacts based on specific intervals (monthly or annually), or specific dates (meetings, birthdays, anniversaries, and more). Plus, after receiving a reminder alert, iKeepInTouch’s intuitive interface makes it easy for users to place a call, send an email, write a text message (SMS or iMessage), or even place a FaceTime call.

When used to track contacts, iKeepInTouch lets users know when they’re in close proximity (1-50 miles) of selected contacts, such as their home, place of work, or any other location entered into the address book. Users can then either try and schedule an impromptu meeting, or if they wish, change direction so that they avoid bumping into their contact.

“iKeepInTouch is designed to make it incredibly easy and effective to get automated, location-based reminders, alarms and alerts for contacts,” commented Jerome Leroy of H2Apps, the app’s co-creator. “And since we’ve made it easy for users to import their address book contacts, there’s virtually no set-up time. Users simply download the app, import their contacts, enter in their reminders by event, time or location, and they’re all set. It’s the kind of time and stress-saving app that’s ideal for everyone, from business professionals, to busy moms, to students and more.”

iKeepInTouch, the innovative app that uses the iOS5’s new ability to track location-based contacts, is available now for free download in the App Store.

Weather Trends International (WTI), the global leader of actionable year-ahead business weather guidance for retailers and manufacturers, today announced the release of their consumer year-ahead weather forecasting app for Android (available in the Android Market).   The new app, wt360 Pro, allows consumers to access global weather forecasts up to one year in advance, an achievement which no other weather app can currently claim.

Presently, most weather sites and apps offer consumers a 1- to 10-day weather forecast, enough for short term weather planning.  WeatherTrends360.com utilizes WTI’s unique math-based statistical forecasting methodology that was previously only available to their clients such as Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Target and Johnson & Johnson, to determine weather-based financials and retail purchasing.  However, now this information is available to consumers and small businesses alike to make weather planning easy for anyone.  Consumers can now book vacations and timeshares, plan weddings, arrange golf and tennis dates, plan their best garden party days and more, months ahead without weather worries.

WTI’s flagship site, WeatherTrends360.com, projects high and low temperature, rainfall and snowfall trends up to a year ahead for more than 6.4 million locations in 195 countries with industry-leading 80%+ accuracy, as verified by an independent auditing firm.  WTI has a 94% client retention rate over the past 9 years due to its accurate and reliable information.  Additionally, the company has received 12 business and technology awards and in 2009 was listed as No. 5 on Forbes’ list of America’s Most Promising Companies.

“We are proud to release an Android version of our popular iPhone app that Gizmodo named App of the Day and C/Net called a ‘weather crystal ball’,” said Bill Kirk, chief executive officer of Weather Trends International.  “According to a recent comScore survey, Google Android just reached 46.3% of the market share, and as a long-time trusted weather information provider to more than a hundred marquee companies, we knew it was time to extend our reach to this audience.”

The app is poised to become the ultimate weather destination by providing both long- and short-term (day-to-day) global forecasts with weather maps that are not available anywhere else.  The site features monthly, daily and hourly forecasts; a customizable email alert system that delivers personalized weather information; a weather planner and 14 different global weather maps tracking various weather-related items including lightning, wave heights, UV indices and sunshine hours.

wt360 Pro is available in the Android Market for 99 cents.  The website provides full access to all information with a free membership.

In a world where weather events are making headlines almost daily, the need for accurate, year-ahead weather information is greater than ever, and WTI delivers.
