After incorporating iAds in the latest version of Egg!, people that weren't on iOS4 were experiencing crashes. I have since fixed this issue and so regardless of what iOS you are running, Egg! will run without crashing. Thanks Mike Park for first bringing this to my attention (or should I thank Lydia?). Also, Apple seemed to push this update through much faster than normal. Thanks Apple. |

Egg! 1.2.1, now with iAds
I finally got around to updating Egg! last week to use Apple's new iAds. It's supposed to generate more revenue for developers and make developing free apps profitable. We'll see how that goes. If you haven't already downloaded Egg!, now is your chance.
Next up are graphic improvements to support iPhone4 displays, if I can ever get my hands on an iPhone4...
Also, a friend was telling her friend about Egg! So her friends downloads it and says "my kid loves it." It turns out it wasn't even my app, but a copycat app. Now I know what the original creator of the fart app feels like! Hahaha.

Egg⁴! sneak preview
It's not out yet, but it should be out any time now. Here's a little sneak preview.
7.5.10
FlashCardz 2.0 & QuoteKeeper 2.0 have been approved
I received e-mail from Apple today, that FlashCardz 2.0 & QuoteKeeper 2.0 have been approved. So look for them on the App Store. These new versions have much better stability than the previous versions (no more random crashes). If you're a developer and are waiting for your apps to get reviewed, send an e-mail to the App Review team and they will likely review your app faster (this has been my experience anyway). A new feature in both of these, includes the ability to hide individual cards or quotes. For a student this means that you can build up a stack of cards throughout the semester, then after each exam, you can hide the cards from that exam, but still have them around for the final. This also allows you to hide cards that have memorized to focus more on the ones that you haven't.
3.5.10
QuoteKeeper updated...
Capping off a productive weekend. I was able to update QuoteKeeper to benefit from some of the common changes in FlashCardz. So another app is off for review. In particular, the data handling has much greater stability; so no more random crashes. Also, added the ability to hide individual quotes from the stack (similar to FlashCardz)
2.5.10
FlashCardz 2.0 out the door
So I spent the weekend looking into some stability problems I was seeing with FlashCardz. In my frustration, I completely gutted the data handling portion of the code and reworked it. This took most of the day Saturday, and I was still having problems getting things working properly. I revisited it Sunday morning and got it to work. Since it is such vast improvement over the previous version, this new release will be 2.0. In addition to the stability improvements, I incorporated a change that will allow users to hide certain cards in the stack. I believe that this feature will greatly improve the usability of the app for users.
FlashCardz 2.0 has been submitted and is waiting for review.30.4.10
Egg⁴! is coming soon...
Egg⁴! is on it's way to the Apple App Store. I was able to get it in working order this week and just submitted it a few minutes ago. So, it should be up some time in the next week, if all goes well.
Egg⁴! is the iPad friendly version of Egg!, and lets you race against your friends and family members to see who can break open the Egg⁴! first. It is a universal binary, so it will run on both the iPad and the iPhone/iPod Touch. It will look like an ad-free version of Egg! on the iPhone/iPod Touch, but the real fun is on the iPad. In the U.S., Egg⁴! will be $0.99. On a side note, the original Egg! has been well received world-wide. It reached #1 in Indonesia, Israel, & the Philippines; #2 in Costa Rica; #3 in Poland; and #5 in the UAE. I can only hope, Egg⁴! will be as well received.
