Bulk Purchases

I've noticed that there have been a few bulk purchases of a few of my apps over the last couple of months. The iPad Science RSS app seems to be the most popular. I'd love to hear from anyone who has made one of these bulk purchases. I'm very interested to know what they're being used for. Perhaps I can enhance some of my apps to be more useful depending on the needs of bulk purchasers.

Inspect Tor - Update

The update is now in the App Store. The app now covers the time period between Aug/2009 and Aug/2011. It's been a while between updates and I hope that the next one will be sooner rather than later. There should be at least one more before the end of 2011.

Update - Inspect Tor

I've been working on an update to Inspect Tor that will include inspections up until August 2011. There have been some issues with the data and Google hasn't been very co-operative. Those are some of the reasons why it's been so long. Anyways, it should be submitted this weekend and hopefully available some time in the next week.

New App - Medicalpedia

I released a new app a few days ago. It's another themed Wikipedia app called Medicalpedia and it's focus is the Medicine category of Wikipedia. This is an excellent category and the app has all the features of my other Wikipedia themed apps. The link is in the list on the right hand side of this page.

Some jerkface gave me a single star and bad review in the American store. His complaint is that there is no search in the app. He obviously doesn't understand how Wikipedia works, because if he did he'd know that there is a search box on each page that the app renders. I could have built a search but I saw no reason to duplicate functionality that already existed. I don't mind criticism and I don't mind if people don't like my apps. People have told me to my face that they don't like my apps and I'm fine with that. What I don't like is people trashing my apps for no reason. I am very clear about what my apps are and what they do in the descriptions and to give me one star because they don't have a feature that someone thinks they should have, (and in this case do have), is just being a major league idiot.

New App - Sportspedia

I have a new app out. It's another Wikipedia browser, this one is sports themed. It's listed on the right hand side of this page. I'm getting towards the end of the Wikipedia browsers. I have two or three more in mind and then that's it and I'll have to find a new project to move on to. If anyone reads this blog and has any suggestions for a themed Wikipedia browser they'd like just let me know.

Updates

More updates have been approved by Apple. Biblicalpedia has been brought upto date. This weekend I'm hoping to update the rest of the Wikipedia browsers.

I've been experimenting with giving some of my apps away for free for a limited time over the last few weeks. I gave the iPhone MegaTech and the iPhone EnvironRSS away for a day each. I will continue to do this. I will announce my next give away here sometime in the next week.

New Apps - Sciencepedia and Artpedia

The last two apps I had waiting for approval were approved today. They are Sciencepedia and Artpedia. You can find links to them in the usual place. I hope you like them.

I've started updates on existing apps. The updates add Read It Later functionality and in some cases update the app info text.
Religionpedia and Histopedia updates have been submitted and I hope to get the rest of the apps updated over the next day or two.
