Sorry for the late post! I’ve been really busy with my 9-5 job, and working hard to get some updates out and new apps! April has been a pretty regular month.

The Blackberry 10 Jam experience

Given that I am signed up as a Blackberry developer, I got a free pass to the Blackberry 10 Jam in Orlando! Because of my 8 to 5 job I was in the area so last week I signed up and attended two days of conferences. This was a really cool experience since it’s the first…     Read more »

Language Flashcards reviewed in Droid Idol

The language flashcards app was recently reviewed by Droid Idol! What is this, you ask. Droid Idol is a website that reviews apps and declares a weekly winner.

First BlackBerry app is live

BlackBerry announced a while ago that they were giving away free PlayBooks to Android developers who published their apps for their PlayBook tablet.

Monthly report – March 2012

It’s this time of the month again! As you might have read, about 2 weeks ago I uploaded an important update to my flashcard apps. I can already see the positive ratings increase, but I believe that it wasn’t in time to cause a significant increase in revenue for this month. We’ll have to wait…     Read more »

Language Flashcard Updates

I just finished uploading version 3.0 of the Pro flashcard apps! This was a LOT of work, as it includes a bunch of updates and improvements both on the user interface and on the back end which I’m hoping successfully addresses some of the negative comments I’m getting. Since it has changed significantly, I also…     Read more »

Software as a Living named best of Android blogs

I was notified a few days ago that this blog was named one of the best of Android blogs by the Frugal Dad blog. I believe saying this is an overstatement, but hey! This motivates me to try to improve it and hopefully publish useful stuff.  I even got this cool badge. I personally believe…     Read more »

Monthly report – February 2012

As I mentioned in my last post, last month I was unable to work on my apps as much as I wanted… actually almost not at all. However this was an interesting experiment in making money through passive income. I’m still working out which pieces of information are worth sharing in these monthly reports and…     Read more »
