Updated to Numerology and Numerology Lite have been submitted to the iTunes store for approval. I fix some errors in the calculations. Turns out you should reduce each part of a numerological calculation before adding up the sums and reducing again.
It doesn’t effect most people because the results turn out the same. It mostly effected people with master numbers in their name.
Last week I released the universal version of Numerology and its doing really well on the iPad. It’s featured in the What’s Hot section of the Lifestyle apps and # 95 on the Top Paid Lifestyle apps for iPad. Numerology Lite is # 159 in the Top Free Lifestyle apps for iPad.
Numerology is even #1 in the Top Paid Lifestyle apps in Panama and Slovenia.
The Numerology and Numerology Lite updates are now available on iTunes. They are both universal apps meaning they both run on the iPad as well as the iPhone and take advantage of the iPad’s screen.
The update to Numerology has been submitted to Apple. Should be available in a week or so. This version adds iPad functionality, fixes a bug that caused birth dates to change when time zones changed, and fixes a bug in calculating a person’s age of maturity. Also, it takes advantage of the new iPhone 4 Retina Display by providing higher resolution images and larger profile pictures.
The content issues have been resolved and Numerology is back for sale on the iTunes store. An update will soon be posted to iTunes to address some issues and make Numerology a universal app.
My source for numerological interpretations has decided they no longer want to have their work in my app, so I have temporarily removed Numerology from the iTunes store until I can find an alternate source.
If you know of a public domain source of numerological text or know a numerologist who I could hire or who would like to work with me on this app, please let me know.
In the mean time, please be patient until I resolve this. I am very close to an update which includes iPad support. The iPad version is very nice and is much easier and fun to use than the iPhone version.
See this review of numerology apps for the iPhone. Numerology is deemed the “best of the bunch”.
This morning I read a post by Erica Sadun entitled Create Shiny Buttons Easily. This inspired me to write a little app to make it easier to execute the sample code. It’s called Button Creator and you can download the Xcode project here. You can select a color by name or by the RGB color values. When you tap the Save button it will save the button image in your saved photos. If you are running it in the simulator, it will also save the image on your desktop.
This weekend I remembered some posts I had read about turning your Macbook into an eBook reader. Here they are:
The reason I was thinking of them is because I’m looking forward to getting an iPad and I’m investigating how it would look and feel by looking at my notebook of similar size and doing whatever I can to see what this device might be like.
Well, let me tell you, trying the techniques in the links above really brought it home for me. The iPad is like no other device you have used. Sure it’s like an iPhone, but the bigger screen makes it a completely different device. Turn your Macbook sideways so your screen is in your lap and the keyboard is off to your right and imagine the keyboard is not there. The screen is just begging to be touched and interacted with like a real physical thing. Using a keyboard and mouse is an indirect method of interaction. It’s like telling someone else to grab an object and do something with it. Using a large touch screen is a direct experience. You get the hold the ball in your own hands.
I’m very excited about writing software for the iPad and can’t wait to get my hands on one. An iPad version of Numerology will be in the store from day 1 and I’m investigating other ideas.
