HiraKata Quiz for iPhone released

January 15, 2009 Comments Off

I have released an iPhone version of my hiragana and katakana quizes. My intention is to link together the web version of the quizes with the iPhone so that you can keep track of your progress and continue your learning, whether you are on the bus or sitting at your computer. It is called HiraKata Quiz and it can be found on the app store here.

Times Tables 1.1 upgrade

December 21, 2008 Comments Off

A new version of Times Tables for the iPhone/iPod Touch has been submitted and approved by the app store. This release focuses on improving the results shown at the end of each quiz. The main changes are: the questions are now individually marked with a star given for each answer that is correctly given on the first attempt and a star is given to the times tables (or multiplication tables) that are correctly answered.

This marks the start of my efforts to improve the results view. If you have any comments or suggestions please write to me or instead use getsatisfaction.com to share ideas and raise issues.

iPhone apps

I have released a couple of iPhone/iPod Touch apps recently but have yet to create a space for them on this website. It has been an interesting experience developing for the platform even if I haven’t quite go my head around Objective-C. It certainly isn’t the same as programming for BeOS or Ruby on Rails (or C# & .net) but it is a decent language.

If anyone has any suggestions then please feel free to contact me at kumo@kumo.it with any ideas. Also I am looking for translations for my Roman Numerals application (external link to itunes) so if anyone would like to help out I would be most grateful. I have Italian, Korean, and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) so far.
