18 Puzzle 1.2

As a follow up to 14 Puzzle, on Nov. 5, 2009 I submitted an update to 18 Puzzle that Apple dragged thru approval for 20 days. Release date loophole is closed for sure, yet some manage to get to the front page still.

14 Puzzle 1.2

To test "release date hack" I released an update to 14 Puzzle early October 2009 (Oct. 15?) that got approved on Oct. 27, 2009. Luck would have it that right around the end of October 2009, Apple closed "release date loophole" that apparently everybody but me were using.

iSpell Casa

iSpell Casa was the test app for an update adding in-app purchases of new lessons. It was submitted for review on 9/28/09 and was hanging in review for 3 weeks. In-app purchase receipts are logged on my server, so I could see when Apple is testing. There was no receipts logged for iSpell Casa. Moreover, in-app purchases were broken, yet on Oct. 20, 2009 the update was approved.

iSpell House

New lesson "Things around the house" of English iSpell was released.

Светофор

Светофор is a game similar to Magic Cylinder and classic soviet puzzle. Unlike Magic Cylinder it was approved Mar. 29, 2009 or right around April when App Store become swamped with crap-ware. As a result it sold almost nothing past the first two weeks. Comparing to sales of Magic Cylinder it is quite obvious that App Store game was over right around April, 2009.

14 Puzzle 1.1

On Mar 22 14 Puzzle received first update mainly to be up to date with source tree. The app was buried so the update was pointless.
