Demo/Free version of Tire Pressure App

[Allan in Portland]

Greetings,

For those that would have liked to share the Tire Pressure App with friends, but felt a little sheepish about making semi-frivolous purchase recommendations, we have created a Demo version. No ads. Just a slight de-tune on the feature set.

Get it at Google

As for the iOS version that a number of people have asked about, hard saying. We are making slow progress on the apps which we hope will actually pay the bills, so it's hard to say when we'll be ready to switch from Android to iOS development. That said, and without implying any promises, a secret part of me would really like to get it done for Christmas.

Regards,

-Allan

Any update on this? I'm still looking forward to an iOS version!

Yeah, to be honest it's fallen off the RADAR.

tl;dr (as the kids say these days) -- writing apps for Android isn't nearly as turn-key as popularly purported. Well, it can be, but the results are rather unimpressive to look at. I don't know how true that is for iOS, but what it means is that our Android apps are taking a lot longer to develop than originally expected. That means we haven't had time to loop around and investigate iOS in any real technical depth necessary to port the Tire Pressure app to it.

Another consideration is that Amazon has announced a plan to rain a few millions of free money down on their customers. Actually, it's not free money, it's scrip redeemable only for apps in their app store. So, for they are really raining it down on the Android developers with their customers deciding how to allocate the money. Details are thin and very sketchy, but the program is supposed to start in May. May also coincides with the end of the school year, which also coincides with the start of summer school. :-) Since our core goal is to make educational apps we are going to be concentrating on those through the end of May so as to capture as much of Amazon's free money as possible. ;-) Wish us luck.

Not that you asked, but I'm pretty proud of it, so if you want to see our math app you can check it out at:

So far as I've found, we're the only ones that are using the touch screen as a virtual piece of paper. Seemed an obvious thing enough to do. In hindsight I think I know why we're the only ones. It's obvious, but hard. :-)

If you've read this far, thank you. Ask me again in mid-June. By then we'll know if we're ever going to loop back around and pick-up iOS. If you know an iOS guy feel free to point him at the idea. I won't feel like I've been poached. Actually, if you know an iOS guy have him send me an email! :-)

Cheers,
-Allan
