Kindergarten Math and Literacy App Bundle

With the release of Learn to Read I created a kindergarten app bundle which has the Learn to Read app as well as the Kindergarten Pattern Completion app.  It is neat because both of these apps have a pattern recognition theme.  The math app is obviously a pattern completion game, but the reading app also is using pattern identification to pick out similarly spelled words.  The bundle gives you a dollar off discount.  Enjoy!

Learn to Read is Available for iPhone and iPad

I had started working on a port of this app over a year ago, but got distracted and never finished, but I had a customer email me begging for an Apple version as soon as possible.  I hadn't got as far along on it as I had hoped, but I did have enough time to get it in working order and release it.  I also added some cool new features (that will be included in the Android versions as well) including a new animation that is displayed when the correct answer is tapped.  

The other main new feature is one that I find very intriguing.  I came across a website of a person who had created a free font called OpenDyslexic that has been found to be easier to read by some people who have dyslexia.  I figured it would be a good option for a Learn to Read app and I am interested to hear if any children do benefit from the different font.  

App Bundle on the iPhone and iPad

Apple released a new feature where you can bundle apps into groups and sell them at a discount.  I created a bundle of the two math pattern game apps, so you can get them both for ~$3.  Enjoy!

App Friday Will Be Exciting Tomorrow

Open Face Chinese Poker for Android and iOS

I'm taking a little tangent from developing kids apps and am developing an app for adults.  The game is Open Face Chinese Poker and right now there is no Android version, so I am trying to target that part of the market as soon as I can.

I put up a new site, openfacechinesepoker.corvidapps.com, to keep the two genre's separate.

Kids Christmas Pattern Game is Free

I have decided to keep Kids Christmas Pattern Game free, at least for the time being. Enjoy!!!

ChorePad Facebook Party

ChorePad is hosting a Facebook party meaning free codes for apps from an assortment of developers will be appearing all day starting at 9:00AM EST.

I have two contests going on.  See if you get lucky and can grab a free code right now for Sequences, Counting and Patterns, or at 9:30AM PST for Kids Pattern Recognition.

Kids Sequences, Patterns and Counting Math App is Available

Observing, comparing and categorizing are foundational skills for math, science and literacy.  In this game kids practice counting by 1's, 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's as well as puzzling the solution to various patterns and sequences that change in size and shape.

On App Store (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch),  Google Play, Nook Apps (TM),  Amazon Apps and coming soon to Nabi.

What's going on

We raised $29.30 for Hurricane Sandy. I wish it had been more, but thank you to everyone who bought apps during those two days.

In other news, Apple, suddenly and without warning, changed its policy and no longer allows me to use a DBA (doing-business-as) name in the App Store, so if you are looking for Corvid Apps in the App Store you will not find it. Search instead for Laura Bangerter. I'm not sure when, if ever, I will get around to converting my business from a sole proprietorship to a corporation. :S

Today and Tomorrow All Proceeds Will Go to Hurricane Sandy

I have teamed up with a group of other indie app developers to fundraise money for Hurricane Sandy relief.  All the proceeds from both my apps, on all platforms, sold on November 8th-9th, 2012 will go to the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy.    View the special Jellybean Tunes App Report for a list of all the other apps and developers participating in this fundraiser.
