I recently visited the Museum of Brands in London where an exhibition is currently celebrating 60 (yes, 60!) years of Thunderbirds and 50 years of Space: 1999. It’s a great trip down memory lane and well worth it if it’s your kind of thing and is open until the end of February 2026. Sitting there …

Updates at last!
Well, it’s been a while hasn’t it? iOS 26 was the catalyst I think – a new look to iOS, the first since iOS 7, made me think that an update to all three apps was needed. Mostly, this is just to make them all compatible with the latest OS and also to “clear the …
Identicode 2.0
A new feature for you secret agents out there – use the camera to grab those encrypted messages and quickly get to decoding! Previously you have had to enter the coded messages by hand but now Identicode can take advantage of the swanky tech in your device and extract the text for you and enter …
Touchy feely
There’s a new update to Identicode which can be enjoyed by those of you with newer phones – there is now a little physical feedback when tapping the buttons which just adds a little more realism and, let’s be honest, fun, to the app. There is also another tweak for everyone in that when you’ve …
All apps now updated!
Well, I wasn’t expecting to update everything, but due to the new website, the links in Bargain and Identicode needed updating too. Also, I’m not able to change the links on the App Store without submitting updates, so here we are! 🙂
Identicode crossword from TVC21
I was reading an old copy of the wonderful TV Century 21 and chanced upon a whole page devoted to Identicode, including a crossword! I’ve included the page below so that you can try it for yourself. Something I’ve considered adding to Identicode is text recognition using Apple’s vision framework, that way that large chunk …
Identicode V1.7 update
Good things come in threes! This update is purely to make the app much more Dark Mode friendly as Apple urge us developers to do. It’s the right thing too. Dark Mode adoption on my other two apps has been fairly standard, but given the frivolous and retro fun side to Identicode I’ve gone a …
Identicode V1.6 released
Hello everyone – an update to Identicode with a few small tweaks is now available. These changes include the removal of the name and link on the main screen as they’ve now been moved to a new Help menu, a small punctuation fix and a minimum requirement of iOS 12.
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. I didn’t know if it might be considered an inappropriate ‘plug’ given that it’s a third-party product (as in, not available at …
A new podcast for all you Identicode fans
If you’ve downloaded Identicode already, or are thinking of buying it (go ahead, I’ll wait 😀), then you’re probably a Gerry Anderson fan, as am I. After all, it was my love of the TV Century 21 comic back in the 1960s that inspired me to write the app when I got hold of some old …
