Hi Game Salad,
Just thought I would announce my latest release to hit the App store "ALPHABET MAGNETS" for the iphone.

Children can learn to create simple words with these fun and colourful fridge magnetic letters, promoting play while developing imagination and physical skills.

If anyone would like a Promo code then please PM me here and I would be happy to send you a code:

    Hmm,
    As I see, this game wasn't made with GS, right?
  • JCFordJCFord Member Posts: 785
    This app was all made using Game Salad!
    If your thinking that it wasn't because of the keyboard - I created and programmed that myself in Game Salad!

    It's a different style of keyboard not a qwerty! ;)

    I'm new to gamesalad and your game (or should I say app) looks fabulous. It looks like you fooled a lot of people with your pro style images for the keyboard and switches. I really envy you. How long did it take you to make this and how is it going on itunes?

    Good luck JCFord!

    if you still have a promo.. i have a 6 year old kid who would love to test it out!
  • JCFordJCFord Member Posts: 785
    @ Jake thanks for your post. I've been working on this for several months fitting it around a full-time job, so all-in-all its probably taken a little over 1 month from start to finish. I always create my own graphics, but it helps being a creative designer. The apps only just come out so it's a little too early to know how the sales are going, but I'll keep you posted.

    @ Kirk1234 - I have emailed you a code - thanks.

    @ Chicop - I have PM'ed you a code hope your daughter likes it!

    If anyone else would like a promo code or to swap reviews then drop me an email at: hello [at] jason ford . co . uk and I will email you back.

    As always, thanks for the support

    Heya Sir, Nicely done, congrats!!

    Just one comment about the non QWERTY keyboard..
    You mentioned you made it a bit 'easier' for kids,
    but be aware kids these days, already at a VERY young age, are using real life keyboards.
    Wether in daycare, school or destroying mine at home AARRGGHHH!!!

    All that to say, I think it's rather confusing (for kids), instead of it being the generous help you intend it to be...

    I can imagine though when kids are only just learning the alphabet, like really at the very first beginning, it's useful to see the characters in the correct ABC order, but besides that, when it looks like a keyboard, better stick to the true keyboard layout. (besides, they would probably sing the alphabet way before ever having seen/read it, so the ABC in the right order is not even of that much importance)

    So I would advice to throw in a second keyboard, QWERTY style, so they have a choice.
    This would also add more functionality to your app, an ABC learning app AND a fridge magnet app!

    Good luck with sales though!!
    [UP] father of 2 little... AARRGGHH!!! lol!

    Congrats man, that looks just awesome.
  • JCFordJCFord Member Posts: 785
    @ Up, thank you for your comments - The reason I went with the ABC keyboard layout was the app was tested at my local daughters local infant school and although the school provides access to PC's the younger children found it much easier to construct words with the ABC keyboard layout rather than a traditional keyboard layout where they were left searching for the next letter!

    However, your suggestion of adding both options is a valuable one, and will look to implement it in a future update as it will be very easy to do. thank you.
