Revision Aid - The next phase

The Revision Aid app is having a full overhall with the development, all the ideas collated over the last year from Schools, pupils and professionals out there we have a clear view of what you want to see.

The aim of the next phase development will be to have a simple to use interface while having a very rich set of functionality. Interface brainstorming is currently underway and now is the time for any suggestions you would like to see in the new version.

We have also deceided on the technology for the next phase of the web site, this will also include a greatly enhanced interface and funtionality set, both the app and web site will see some fantastic changes over the coming year.

The free version of the app has of date of posting reached the top 100 in the UK for the education section, this was very pleasing as it is incredibly hard to get noticed in the app store now there are close to 100,000 apps in the app store. Much of the last two months have been focused on a new strategy to take the application forward and hope you enjoy the fruits of our labour in the coming months.

  1. Hi Jason, where are you collating the ideas?

    Would like to see

    . multiple possible correct answers for the "single/text answer" option

    . something to solve the problem that if you forget to check the answer and go on to the next one, the unchecked answer is marked as wrong ("back" key / popup reminder)

    . some sort of "enter" key to enter your text answer - at the moment I'm touching the top of the screen where the title is to exit the keyboard mode and check the answer, is that a feature?

    . maybe some sort of space for an introduction page at the start of the text explaining what it's testing

    . information that the subject and title can't be the same on two tests, or you can't download both

    . some way to change the title on the editor after entering it

    Have you seen/used Hot Potatoes before? Maybe that might spark some other ideas. http://hotpot.uvic.ca/

  2. Oh, and can you make the randomising optional?
