A developer's thoughts
Despite considerable pressure to open up the iPhone to external agencies, Apple have resisted and explained why, Let’s hope that other companies stand up to be counted as well. If this is forced through it would be the start of a very slippery slope. Customer Letter Be aware that in time that link may break …

Apple have now approved version 1.3 of Dicewords (and Dicewords-X) for sale. 🙂 PLEASE NOTE – Updating to V1.3 will lose any save game or puzzle in progress at the time the update was installed. This happens only once so hopefully it will be a very minor inconvenience. The main change is that the Demo screen has …
I saw this review today on the App Store: I like point and click games but this is painfully slow and not intuitively designed.

It also ensures that after finding a bargain and you clear one field and press Compare that it resets the screen to a correct appearance. Enjoy finding those bargains.
Apple now have three of my apps in their queue(s) to review. Due to some unplanned last minute changes to Dicewords and Dicewords-X I have not yet sent those two to Apple but I hope that will happen in the next few days, if not then next week. Mostly all were running fine anyway but I’ve …
I’m checking that all my apps will work fine with iOS 9 which is expected to be released in September. All apps have had small tweaks, a few enhancements and even a new feature or two! Mostly though I’m happy to say that everything pretty much carried on fine without the need to do anything …
I’m now running iOS 9 and all my apps are looking good except for Identicode which looks as though it was designed for a 3.5″ screen! It will be sorted before iOS 9 is released, have no fear. I will be incorporating a few of Apple’s new features into some of the apps where it …
