Revision Aid Improvements - Sneak peak

The Revision Aid editor is currently being worked on, the above screen shot show a sneak peak of the coming changes, a more sleek silver edit scheme and the ability to add upto four images to any question, multiple choice or single answer.

The user will simply press on an image and then browse the image library on the device to browse,edit and select.

During a Quiz Me Quiz the user will be shown a small image icon that can be pressed to zoom into the added question images, then touch again to return back to icon view.

This will add a lot of value to the app enabling graphics to be added for everything from driving test quizzes to fun film quizzes, add four images for the quiz taker to choose from for an answer.

The online editor will also have the ability to upload images as well in future updates so watch this space.

The current major update is due to finish over the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for this in released updates.

I would love to hear users thoughts on these additions so please feel free to contact me with any suggestions.

iTouch problem resolved

It turns out the installation issue for the games was due to the 1st generation iTouch, settings in the store had the 2nd generation option auto-selected, I have changed this to 1st and 2nd generation compatibility which I am happy to say has resolved the issue.

All games can now be installed on 1st and 2nd gen iPhones and iTouches.

iTouch App Store

I received an email from a user who has had an issue installing an iSpot game on the iTouch, this was news to me as the apps have always installed on the devices before ok, all releases are tested on both the iPhone and iTouch devices before sending to Apple to review.   I have contacted apple regarding the issue and they are usually very good at resolving these technical issues, I shall post an update as soon as I hear when this issue has been resolved.  

This only effects iTouches and not iPhones.

Thank you to the user that has brought this to my attention.

Watch this space for updates on the problem.

Revision Aid - Web site update

Online quizzes can now have a private status set against them, I had an email this morning asking for this function and it seemed like a good essential function to have in the system. I made this a high priority as some personal quizzes are sensitive and should not be shared in the public library.

This function has now been added and available to use.

The following are the changes to the system to accommodate this change:

> Personal Library summary now has the public/private status.

> When creating a quiz you can set the quiz as private an enter password (for future app use which is not available yet).

> Quiz summary has the ability to switch the public/private status.

> The public library will NOT show our private quizzes.

I would like to encourage people to share any quizzes but understand why some quizzes should remain private, I have therefore added to my list the introduction of a password when downloading quizzes, this will apply to any private quiz and will be available in the iPhone app in upcoming updates.

The ability to enter a password in the online editor is already available however this has no real function until the iPhone app is also available.

iSpot updates

I've been busy working on images for the iSpot game range and now regular updates will be available with a minimum of 10 additional images per game every month.

I will also be looking to add an online element to the game once each game has the full 100 game images and the All Sports version a total of 400 images.

Revision Aid Updates

V1.12 of Revision Aid is now available to download and includes the much improved editing, more functionality updates are on the way, watch this space for more information.

Revision Aid - Changes submitted

The latest changes have been submitted to the App Store and will be available pending the App Store review process later next week.

The changes include better editing, previously the popup keyboard would obscure the answers while in edit mode and this has been fixed with a auto screen scroller so the editing component is always visible.

The button sized have also been increased and thus made more responsive.

The help page layout has also been improved, before part of the layout may be obscured depending on the window mode.

A notification has also been added to the splash page to bring the users attention to the online editor to ensure the user is fully aware of this available free functionality.

Thank you so much for all your feedback, watch this space for announcements of more features and updates to come.
