ThinkMac SoftwareiKanji 1.4 is here!
It’s been awhile but iKanji 1.4 has landed! The first change you’ll see is the redesigned welcome screen and if you’ve not purchased yet you’ll be greeted with the new trial limitation and registration system. Rather than limit which kanji sets you can practice, iKanji now limits you to running the app for 10 minutes at a time. As with iKana 2…
On the Mac App Store
I’m really excited that the Mac is going to get an App Store. Why? It’s been getting ever harder to get any attention for new Mac products since the iPhone came out. With the iPad now too it’s near impossible. Just look at the TUAW on any given day, it’s all iOS all the time. With the Mac App Store that may…
iKana 2.0.1 is out
No matter how long you spend testing something a few bugs always seem to find a way to get out into the wild, sadly iKana 2 is no exception. Embarrassingly the two problems primarily affect the registration experience and your ability to download new upgrades through the application itself. So if you were puzzled at seeing an empty grey box appearing after…
iKana 2 says「こんにちはみなさん」
Meet iKana 2, more refined, smarter and better looking than ever before: iKana has just completed a major makeover and it’s now better than ever before. Not only will it teach you hiragana and katakana, it now has an ongoing role as your personal vocabulary tutor. Spiced up with some Leitner based spaced repetition goodness and wrapped in a beautiful and playful…
iKana touch in the Apple Store
If you go past an Apple Store any time soon take a look at the iPhone window display – you may just spot iKana touch’s icon among various other apps. It’s all part of a display showing off all the apps you can get on the App Store. It’s an honour to be included 🙂 This is from London’s Regent Street store…
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…
Feeder 2.0 from Reinvented Software
I’m happy to announce that Feeder 2.0 has been released today by Reinvented Software. Feeder is a great app for publishing RSS feeds, be it for podcasts, news, Sparkle or anything else you can think of. I use Feeder for my Sparkle appcasts and the ThinkMac news feed. Sparkle as you may know powers the ‘check for update’ feature in a huge…
It is done
Won’t be too much longer now ^_^ Update iKanji touch’s product page is now online with videos and screenshots.
InstantGallery 2 update
I really should stop promising software in ‘x’ amount of time because I’m a bit hopeless with deadlines when it comes to software. Needless to say InstantGallery 2 will be fashionably late. It will however seriously rock your world if you want to make amazing photo gallery based websites. I’ve put together a quick videocast to demo how I’ve incorporated lots and…
NewsLife Beta 3 is here
Beta 3 has been a long time coming, mostly due to a crush of icon work that has refused to let up since January. But finally today it’s out. It’s not a massive update by any means, but now the Sparkle update framework is in there it should be easier to roll out incremental updates every few weeks. Beta 3 addresses the…
