As part of iFlash Touch being submitted to the App Store, I am going to be posting details about the app all throughout the week. Stay tuned, as each day will bring more information!

You may be wondering how you will get decks into iFlash Touch? I spent a lot of time deliberating between a few options, and settled on using the existing wireless network in your home. So, to sync between iFlash and iFlash Touch, all you need to do is select your device from a toolbar menu:

Then, once you’ve exported the deck, it’ll show up in the list of decks on your iPhone!

… and that’s it! From here you can study all the decks you have on your iPhone.

Tomorrow I’ll post some screenshots detailing how your decks will look in iFlash Touch (the good stuff). :)

iFlash Touch 1.0 was submitted today for review in the iTunes App Store! That means that, if no surprises come about, it should be available for all to download for free in the next week. :)

Just a quick note on why iFlash Touch is taking so long. It isn’t because of any particular show stopping issues with iFlash Touch or iFlash itself. Rather, it’s because I’m a full-time college student who has to place my studies as priority number 1.

I can’t emphasize enough how much it hurts me to think about how long iFlash Touch has taken. I recently dropped a class just to find some time to work on it, and am now hoping to submit version 1.0 to the App Store in the next 3 weeks.

I’ll end this note with some good news: iFlash Touch is going to be 100% free when it’s released in the App Store! It’ll require iFlash for the Mac, naturally, but if you already own iFlash then you’ll be able to export to your iPhone/iPod touch for free.

Thanks again everyone for your patience. I’ll update again once iFlash Touch has been submitted to the App Store.

It’s been a while since my last post, and I thought I should update everyone on how iFlash touch is going. Well, it’s going… well! The first private beta has been sent out and I’ve been receiving awesome feedback from the beta testers (thank you all!). I didn’t have much time to work on iFlash touch during the holidays, but now that they’re over I’ll have some quality time to spend getting it up to speed.

I hope to release it within the next month or two, pending any show-stopping issues.

Thanks for your patience! I know it’s been a long wait, but I hope the final product is ultimately worth it :-).

Update (12/9/2009): I’m not accepting any more applicants. Thanks to everyone who emailed! I will be updating this blog with iFlash touch developments, so stay tuned!

In a few weeks I’ll be sending out a beta of iFlash touch, and I’d like to get as many beta testers as I can!

If you’d like to help beta test iFlash touch, please send an email to <email removed> containing both your device ID and a sample deck from iFlash you plan on exporting, and I’ll add you to the beta list if there’s space! If you’ve emailed me before about beta testing, please email me again at the above address with your device ID :-).

Follow these instructions to get your Device ID, if you’re not sure what it is.

Thanks everyone!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the “iFlash” app in the App Store isn’t made by me! I’ve contacted the author of that app to sort things out :-).

Thanks to everyone that let me know!

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update on iFlash touch development. I’ve had more time to work on it recently, and have made some good progress getting the card show up and running. It truly feels incredible to flick through your cards… much better than I could have imagined!

Anyways, things are still in a kind-of-crazy state, but that’s how it always is with software development. I’ve had an application icon designed, and I think it looks amazing (!), but I’ll preview that at a later date once I’m closer to release :-).

I’m currently aiming to have a beta ready by mid-to-late December. I’ll post more about that once I’m ready to begin the beta program.

Thank you all for your patience! I know that iFlash touch is taking longer than expected, but I hope it’s (ultimately) worth the wait!

- Davey

So I’m currently working with an artist to figure out what the icon for iFlash touch should be, and I wanted to as a quick question from everyone :-).

When you think of knowledge and learning, what immediately pops into your mind?

Any responses would greatly help! Thanks! (and yes, I’ll have another post detailing the current status of iFlash touch soon).

- Davey

This is long overdue, but here’s a first look of iFlash touch running on an iPhone. Please don’t take this as an indicator that it will be released soon, because it is still far from complete, but do know that I’m actively working on it!  :-)

Anyways, enough talk. Here it is!

Nothing too exciting yet, but it’s a good start (especially considering how my original sketch for this screen looked). You’ll notice that the Deck Library is going to be built right into iFlash touch, so anyone, whether they have iFlash on the Mac or not, will instantly get access to over 2,500 decks. Pretty awesome!

I’ll be revealing more screenshots as development continues, so stay tuned!

Hey everyone,

So I’ve converted back to WordPress for my blog. I liked Chyrp, but upgrading it was too much of a hassle to keep using it. Unfortunately, during the conversion process all existing comments were lost, but feel free to leave new ones!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about iFlash on the iPhone, and unfortunately I don’t have much to report. I’ve been busy doing an internship at Apple for the last 3 months, which has put a damper on my plans to have a working version out soon. I’m hoping to find some time to work on it soon though, and I’ll try to blog about it more regularly once there’s more to see.

If anyone’s interested in seeing the mockups, I could probably find a way to get those posted as well.

Thanks!
