Revision Aid - Update



I have posted an update for this app to clear out the 'Enter Answer Text' on touch, this was highlighted in a recent review in the app store, it was nice seeing a well thought out review written by someone who had given some suggestions on some good improvements. 

Number Crunch updates submitted



The ability to turn off the intro animation has been added, this was highlighted in the recent review on www.iear.org.

The responsiveness of the buttons has also been improved, they were acting a little sluggish since the new animations have been introduced but this is now much improved, the update V2.02 will hopefully be available in a weeks time pending the apple review process.

I Education Apps Review for Number Crunch




Number Crunch V2 got its first review yesterday on an up and coming educational apps review site and it was nice to see some constructive comments.  I had thought of creating a video myself to show off the various features and may well do so anyway but having an independent review of the app is much better and helps to give people an unbiased view of the app before buying.

I will be spending more time on this soon to address the points in the review such as disabling the intro video, the introduction of a free play or practice mode with no countdown clock as this can be too much pressure and distracting for some, adding more stats for teachers as this game can also be used as an educational aid to improve maths and I will also be looking at creating a version for the younger player.

The review has certainly given me some valuable feedback and has also recommended it for personal and school use which was good to see.


Pod cast  Select episode 20 for the Number Crunch review.

The review site www.iear.org offers an opportunity for teachers and developers to work together to provide educational apps for the iPhone.
