Film Quiz Version 2.0 released

It took its time, but Film Quiz Version 2.0 is now available on the App Store. Previous versions of the App took only about five days to get looked at and then an hour to be actually reviewed. Version 2.0 took about 7 days and then 6 hours to be reviewed.

New features include:

  • You have 15 seconds to answer a question
  • Game Center leaderboards have been added to compete against friends
  • App includes iPad version
  • Loads more questions added
  • Various bug fixes and memory leaks fixed

Have fun!

Film Quiz Version 2.0 submitted

I had originally intended to submit version 2.0 last week. But having been really busy I didn’t find any time to create a load more questions. I had also decided to have two versions of my App. A free one with adverts and a paid for one without adverts.

So on Monday and Tuesday night I decided to crack on and make the final push to get it to the Apple App Store. I forgot how time consuming creating new questions and coming up with alternative answers can be! After a lot of brain work I managed to create a load more.

I then had a thought about the Free vs. Paid for App idea. Every few days I check how many times my App has been downloaded and how much revenue iAds has produced for me. In the last few weeks iAds has generated quite a bit. So, it’s a trade off. Can a free App with iAds generate more money than a paid for App? I think in my case I’m going to stick with iAds and the free version, even though I had made the effort to add code to my Film Quiz Project to generate the two versions.

The two previous releases have taken about 5 days to get approved. Hopefully Version 2.0 will be just as quick.

New idea for an App

After my mate Steve saw the success of my Film Quiz App he got his thinking cap on and came up with an idea for a new App. We can a quick chat about it yesterday and it looks promising. It would probably fall under the category of a ‘Life Style’ App. It’s going to take a few months to get something together. I’ll be doing the coding, Steve will be doing the ‘other’ side of it.

Until then it’s all hush hush.
