Roman Numerals 1.4.1

kumo — Sat, 15 May 2010 14:35:51 +0000

I am working on an improved version of Roman Numerals with more conversion options and possibly an iPad version, however I wanted to focus on some of the issues that people have been having. This small update adds auto-repeat to the delete button so that it is easier to clear MCMXXVII from the screen instead of shaking your iPhone or iPod Touch.

TimesTables 2.3.3

kumo — Sat, 15 May 2010 14:29:51 +0000

The TimesTables iPhone app has been recently updated to 2.3.3. The main two features in this version are that it will automatically start the app with the last player, and it will also show the last quiz that was played so that it can be played again easily. If you have downloaded 2.3.2 then you will need to download 2.3.3 because this fixes a bug where the highscores were no longer selectable.

TimesTables 2.3.1

A new update to TimesTables should be available in the appstore. This version is a minor update that allows the question presentation to be mixed up. Previously there was the option to decide how to present the questions because in different countries the times tables are shown differently, for example:

1×7, 2×7, 3×7, 4×7, 5×7, …
7×1, 7×2, 7×3, 7×4, 7×5, …

Now, on the configuration page, there is the option to mix these up so that the questions can appear in either way. Sometimes it is easy to learn that 2 times 5 is 10, but what is 5 times 2?!

TimesTables 2.3

kumo — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 10:06:24 +0000

Times Tables has been updated to 2.3. This version adds support for multiple players, each with their own highscores, unlocked tables, and progress. If you have more than one child or want to use it in a classroom setting then this upgrade means that you can you let each child play without having to reset the progress or highscores each time.

Roman Numerals 1.4

kumo — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 09:24:39 +0000

Roman Numerals has been updated to 1.4. The main feature of this version is copy & paste. With this you can, for example, convert a roman numeral, copy the conversion and paste it in email, or copy a roman numeral from a webpage and paste it directly into the app without having to type it out.

You need to have upgraded to at least iPhone OS 3.0 (on either an iPhone or iPod Touch) to use this update, because copy and paste doesn’t work with previous versions of the iPhone OS.

TimesTables 2.1

kumo — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:59:19 +0000

TimesTables 2.1 has been approved by the app store and should now be available. This version adds 11x and 12x questions to each of the tables and also tries to simplify the way that information is shown so that is understandable even if the child cannot read yet.

The 11x and 12x questions are not enabled by default and this must be performed by using the Settings program and selected the 11x and 12x option.

I have also added a page on facebook and on uservoice where you can submit requests or vote on existing ideas.

TimesTables 2.0.2

kumo — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:26:11 +0000

A new version of TimesTables has been approved by the app store and should be available shortly. In this update it is possible to reset the high scores and the unlocked tables. To do this you must go into Settings and choose either “Reset unlocked tables” or “Reset highscores”.

In case you weren’t aware in the Settings you can choose whether the questions appear as 7×1=7 or 1×7=7 so that you can match how your child studies them in school.

Flurry of updates

kumo — Wed, 13 May 2009 22:42:44 +0000

This post is a bit late, but quite a few of my iPhone programs have been updated in the past week or so. Times Tables, Learn Time, Learn Time Lite, and Roman Quiz have all received a number of fixes and improvements.

My favourite change is the animated menu that I added to Learn Time and Learn Time Lite. The user is still presented with a table view from which they choose the starting level, but there is an animated fish swimming from side to side.

I will be releasing a new version of Times Tables soon that will allow the highscores and unlocked tables to be reset — useful if you are trying out the program and want to delete your highscores before giving it to your children.

LearnTime 1.2

kumo — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:54:23 +0000

In the following video you can see some of the new features of LearnTime. There is a new mode called “free play” that allows the child to play with the clock and see what time it is. I have also tried to make the program more appealing by adding sounds and animations on the game menus. I have a couple more things that I would like to add but I will add these in hopefully the next version. I do plan on adding another couple of themes so if you have any requests please contact me at kumo@kumo.it.

As always there is a demo version of LearnTime (LearnTime Lite) that allows you to try out the first two levels (essentially the hours and 15 minute intervals) and this is also available on the app store.

Roman Numerals 1.3 upgrade

kumo — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 06:16:05 +0000

The latest version of Roman Numerals has been approved and should be available on the app store. This version adds a must requested method for clearing the inputted numbers in one go and extends the Arabic to Roman numerals converter to generate larger numbers in an archaic format, for example, 1661 can be represented as (I) I) CLXI.

To use this new format just select the 2002 -> MMII tab and press the bottom left button with the ((I)) I)) symbol.
