“I was reading a dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything” said Steven Wright, an award winning actor and writer. Having this thing for dictionaries, I totally agree with Steven and I am sure many of you will too. My tryst with dictionaries began way back in my school days when Miss Gomes would insist on our carrying a dictionary to class. Those were the days. But what joy! Here at Global Delight I get to work with dictionaries again! Yup, I am referring to WordDigest, the English Dictionary, Thesaurus and Spell Checker app for the iPhone/iPod touch. All of you have loved this app, now you have more reasons to love it. WordDigest v1.2 is out  with a sleeker and nicer UI and additional features. Have a look at what the UI looks like now:

From the screenshots you may have guessed what the new features might be. Lemme list them down:

# Words of the day: Five random words appear as you start the application. Click on any one of them and their meaning appears. You can go back to the Words of the Day by clicking on the Featured tab in the menu bar.

# Crossword and Anagram Solver: Crossword enthusiasts are going to love this feature. Type in the answer pattern and a list of probable solutions will appear.

# Tab customization: With this feature you can choose to re-arrange the menu items thus giving you a lot more flexibility.

# Pull up Menu button: When you use the Dictionary feature, on selecting a word, you will notice a pull up menu button appearing. Once chosen you have an option of favoriting the word, send the word and its meaning via mail, make notes if any or use the web to know more about that word.

# Notes: An interesting feature of the new version is the ability to make notes against any word. You can thus note anything interesting that you may have come across for that word.

# Mail: Enables you to instantly send the meaning of a word across via email.

WordDigest is not just a Dictionary, it also has an amazing Thesaurus and Spell Checker. Now if that wasn’t enough, I have something else to tell. I have saved the best for the last. WordDigest is on SALE!!! A 50% off! Yes, you can now grab a copy of WordDigest v1.2 with all the cool features at just $0.99 only! Hurry to the App Store and grab your copy of WordDigest today ‘cos this offer is on just for a limited period!

Miss Gomes would be so proud of me! *Sniff*

Peace!

Phew! What a week this has been. With Wisen Up out on the App Store, it’s been one roller-coaster ride. It’s really nice to see this personality quiz cum infotainment app picking up steadily. Yeah, and we owe it all to you, of course. Do show us your support by downloading the app, rating it and giving us your feedback, so that we can work on improving it. There are some great reviews on Wisen Up, which I shall cover in my next post. This post is mainly dedicated to tell you what we have been upto and what’s up.

First, what we have been upto. Of late, there have been some problems faced by some of our users of Voila Mac screen capture tool after updating to the latest version 2.1. Also, we have been testing Voila on Snow Leopard and also in the OS upgrade scenarios. Well the good news is, in most of the cases we have been able to identify the issues, a big thanks to our Customers who have been cooperative in troubleshooting. The bug fix is in progress and hopefully in the next few weeks we should have an update ready for release. So go ahead, continue using your Voila, bug-free (pun totally intended ) and send us some of your creations. We would love to showcase them on our site and on Flickr.

Just recently I downloaded some great High Quality videos using Web2 Delight. To make things even better, we have slashed the price of Web2 Delight to $9.95! Isn’t that just fab? It’s amazing how you can download your favorite videos from any video sharing sites from one location. I have created my own collection of some of my favorite videos using the organizer in the application.

We have released a new version of WordDigest, an English dictionary, thesaurus and spell checker app for your iPhone and iPod touch. This useful reference app has got a facelift with new interface along with some new features too. You can now add quick notes to the words, solve Crosswords and Anagrams on the fly, and learn few new words everyday. It’s a free update to the existing users, while the new users would pay just $1.99. The new version is available on the App Store, download it now and don’t forget to send us your feedback.

Well, next is what’s up. Hmmmm….. I shan’t tell you anything yet. Let’s see how good you are at guessing. Here’s the hint to what we are upto next:

Not really great at Cryptography, but there’s always a first time.
So keep guessing what’s up.
Until then, Peace!

Writing a post titled ‘An Aplology’ is never a good feeling. Putting this apology in context, version 1.1 of WordDigest that got through to the App Store had an expiry date set to it which rendered the app unusable from midnight April 4th 2009 onwards. We are painfully aware of how much this inconvenienced our customers who paid for the application and now cannot use it until version 1.1.1 hits the App Store. 

We have already fixed this issue and submitted the new version 1.1.1 on April 6th to Apple. This version is in review and hopefully would be approved in the next couple of days.

A lot of hard work has gone into making WordDigest a product that would be cherished by its users and it is really unfortunate that an error of such magnitude managed to slip by us unnoticed. Processes have been reviewed, appropriate preemptive measures are in place and now we would like to apologize to all our customers for the inconvenience caused. We regret that this ever happened.

In an effort to brighten up the somber mood of this post we would be giving away 20 promo codes for version 1.1.1 of WordDigest. We would list them out in another post as soon as the version 1.1.1 goes live (we can generate them only after a new version is available). While we do realize that this does not appease those of you who have already purchased the app we felt that we should do something more than just issue a written apology.
