This is a mini post just to reduce the alarm level from my last post! I believe that the issues I mentioned will only happen for me, not you dear users (or potential users), as the existing apps were not built for OS 27 and so will simply run as they did previously on the …

iPhone Duo compatibility
Well, there’s a good news and bad news sandwich for my apps on Apple’s latest iPhone! The first good news bread slice is that my latest app, Pressured, runs really nicely. It was written using Apple’s very latest SwiftUI language and it shows. There are a few visual changes I will make, but it works …
Identicode training and a crossword!
I recently found this page in an old copy of TV Century 21 which I thought those of you with the app might enjoy. There’s an assignment and a crossword for you to decipher. I hope you enjoy it.
An Original Identicode
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 …

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 …
