Lingopal makes it onto Korean TV show February 13, 2010 No Comments

It seems there is quite a popular youth-oriented TV program called ‘We Got Married’, and from what I can gather, and I haven’t gathered much, two popular celebrities are paired together and pretend, mostly in front of guests, to be married.
In this episode, a young Afghan guy visits Ga-In from Brown Eyed Girls fame (a [...]

Bugs n’ Fixes November 16, 2009 No Comments

A great weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
An unfortunate few customers of Lingopal encountered (and uncovered) a bug which completely cut off the sound of the app. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked temporarily; then the bug would show again.
It was a very frustrating bug for us to sort out, but after a great deal of [...]

Bondi Mayhem! November 4, 2009 No Comments

Bondi is a suburb in Sydney, Australia. It is the home of arguably Australia’s most famous beach, and it’s not hard to see why. It stretches a kilometre, has great surf, and according to the Sydney Tourist Guide, ‘offers topless sunbaking.’ Fantastic.
Tourists from all around the world come to visit. Here is a picture of [...]

Thai language apps reviewed - properly October 20, 2009 No Comments

It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged, and I have been stirred into action by someone a good deal more industrious than me.
Catherine (Cat) Wentworth is a young lady living and learning in Thailand. Her website, Women Learn Thai (WLT) is home to a range of “Thai language learning tips and techniques, local quirks [...]

Single-language apps now available August 6, 2009 No Comments

Yep, they’re here.
I’ve complained before about the length of time in getting apps and their updates approved, but Apple have really impressed in these last couple of rounds. Both took just under 2 weeks, which is pretty good considering the workload they must be under.
If you haven’t tried Lingopal out before then you can now, [...]

Lingopal available as single languages August 2, 2009 1 Comment

We’re making some changes with Lingopal, and we think they’ll be for the better.
1) Lingopal will be available as single language apps. In fact, German and Japanese are available already, for US$0.99. These will be known as ‘Lingopal German’, ‘Lingopal Japanese’, ‘Lingopal language name … etc.’
These work very much like the main app, in that [...]

Kia Ora from NZ July 28, 2009 No Comments

Kia ora is how you say hello in Maori, one of the many languages we’re planning on adding to Lingopal.
It’s also the title of Air New Zealand’s inflight magazine, and I’m proud to say that we have scored ourselves a mention in the Hot News section. We’re in there amongst the crocodile-skin laptop, some high-end [...]

Voyage update live; continuing concerns about Apple’s approval process July 25, 2009 No Comments

It’s been over 5 weeks since we submitted the OS 3.0 update for Voyage, and it has finally been approved. There’s understandable relief on one part, but a gnawing anxiety on another.
We are in the process of submitting a new round of apps to Apple for approval, and based on our experiences to date, I’m [...]

Delays with Voyage OS 3.0 update July 20, 2009 1 Comment

I have blogged before about the frustrations in getting updates approved by Apple. And now I will do it again.
As it stands, we currently have 3 applications available for sale: Lingopal, Flirta and Voyage. The updates for all were submitted at the same time. Weeks passed, emails were exchanged, clients became angry, and eventually the [...]
