Regrettably, I will be removing Dicewords and Dicewords-X from the App Store later today. A lot has changed since the day I wrote them in terms of device screen sizes, even for iPads, and iOS internals. Due to the way they were written they weren’t expecting all those different sizes and Apple now require all …

New app released!
Hello everyone, I’ve just had my first ever macOS app approved and it’s now available on the Mac App Store. It’s a writing tool and it’s called 1000 Words. Free-writing is a technique to help getting you writing instead of thinking about writing by just sitting down and typing anything that comes into your head …
WordPress 5.0
Version 5.0 of WordPress (I use it to create this blog) has been released along with a new theme, cunningly named Twenty Nineteen. I thought, let’s live on the bleeding edge shall we, so now we are!
A Podcast mention for Identicode
I was surprised and thrilled the other week when Jamie Anderson (son of Gerry) and Richard James, co-hosts of the brilliant Gerry Anderson Podcast read out my email about Identicode in Pod 25.

Shiny new website
Thanks to my lovely and talented partner I now have a revamped and redecorated web site. I’ve had the previous design for about 5 years I think so it’s great to give it a facelift. It is a flexible layout that adjusts gracefully from the screen of an iPod touch to a Macintosh. It also …

Bargain and Identicode now updated on the App Store

Finally, some updates on their way to Apple!
Apologies for the delay, but I’ve started a new day job and it’s five days a week! That means less time available for apps, but have no fear – I plan to keep my apps available for the latest devices for as long as seems feasible. Because I haven’t updated some apps for at least …

Yes – I’m still here!
I know I’ve not posted for a while with any news but with nothing to report there were no posts! However, things are happening now – quite a few things in fact. Firstly, I’m working through each of my iOS apps to ensure that they play nicely with iPhone X. So far, Bargain is ready …
Dicewords V1.5 now in the App Store
Dicewords and Dicewords-X updates are now available. This fixes a bug introduced in V1.4 where the dictionary setting set in preferences was ignored by the app. Sorry about that. Enjoy the update.
