ThinkMac SoftwareiKanji 2!
Joining NewsLife and iKana, iKanji is the 3rd ThinkMac Mac app to graduate to version 2.0! It’s been under development for a good few months and it’s great to finally have it ready to put into your hands. As is starting to become the new normal, I find myself with a completed product ready to ship but with the Mac App Store…
iKanji touch 1.6
The iPhone 5 is now upon us and it brings with it a new taller 4 inch screen with 16:9 aspect ratio. As you may expect I’ve been hard at work updating iKanji touch and iKana touch to make use of this new screen real estate. iKanji touch 1.6 with support for the new iPhone and iPod touches was submitted to the…
Back story : how iKana 2 was designed
The most obvious change in iKana 2 is the new visual appearance. After spending a lot of time working with iOS — and with all the media focus these days being on the iPhone and iPad — it’s hard to ignore its influence. Far from being a purely cosmetic change, I think this new UI significantly enhances the usability of iKana. What…
Well picture this – NewsLife 1.5
Christmas has come early for NewsLife users, version 1.5 is now available for download! The big new feature in this update is the Picture Tile mode which you can see in the above screenshot. NewsLife already looks for any images that appear in article summaries and displays a little thumbnail – but wouldn’t it be awesome if you could browse a feed…
iKanji 1.3.1 fix released
I’ve just released a quick fix for iKanji 1.3 that addresses a problem using the test modules under Snow Leopard (only a blank window would open when choosing a test). Click the ‘Check for Updates…’ option from iKanji’s main menu to download and install it. Apologies for not spotting this sooner!

I want to get iKana 2 ready for the ‘back to school’ season so it’s slated for a September release. iKana 2 features all the cool…
App news and new forums
It’s been a little while since I last blogged so I thought it was high time to tell you about an upcoming new version of iKanji touch! This update adds more stroke animations, adds a new help book and generally makes some improvements. The new help section gives you an overview of what kanji are and where they came from and explains…
iKanji touch App Store Feedback Q & A
People often leave complaints, requests or questions in App Store reviews where I can’t reply to them. This is a major source of frustration to me and many other developers. I’ve decided that for now I’ll use this blog to respond to some of the things people have written which will hopefully be helpful to me and you. I may edit the…
It is done
Won’t be too much longer now ^_^ Update iKanji touch’s product page is now online with videos and screenshots.

If you follow ThinkMac on Twitter then you may have noticed about five weeks ago I tweeted “NewsLife 2 submitted to the App Store!”. Unfortunately as of the time of writing its still stuck in review. Now from what I hear from other developers the review time on the Mac App Store (MAS) is longer than on the iOS store. For that…
