blockBUZZter 1.1!

The updates I made to blockBUZZter for BUZZWOO! just made it to the App Store! You'll be happy to know that blockBUZZter has English support now, so if you were hesitant before because the game was only available in German, hesitate no more! Version 1.1 also has OpenFeint achievements, so there are interesting goals besides just getting a high score. It's still free, so go get it!

The story behind iFonts

I needed the list of available fonts in iOS to send to my designer. I searched the web and found that there are lots of iOS font lists out there (iosfonts.com, blog posts, Stack Overflow), but who knows if they're up-to-date or were ever right in the first place? At some point, every one of them will be forgotten, neglected, and become obsolete. I wanted to be absolutely certain that the list I sent to my designer was correct for the latest version of iOS. iFonts guarantees that - it uses public APIs to determine the available fonts, so you know you're getting the current list when you run it on your device. Most importantly, it has a handy email feature to send the list to a designer or developer. No need to bookmark a web page. No need to create a list on your computer that'll quickly become obsolete. Just run iFonts and you instantly have the list that's guaranteed to be up-to-date for your version of iOS. It's that simple.

iFonts Price Change

Inspired by this article, we've changed the price for iFonts from free to 99 cents. iFonts is a valuable app - it's a great way to email the list of available iOS fonts to a developer or designer - so it's worth the 99 cents it now costs.

Get it on the App Store.

Blog Action Day 2010

It's hard for me to believe there are almost a billion people in the world who don't have clean water. To help them get it, you can donate or start a fundraising campaign at charitywater.org.

Today is Blog Action Day 2010, so if you're a blogger, you can raise awareness by sharing this with others.

Fonts for iPad & iPhone

Excellent article by Michael Critz on what fonts are available on iOS. If you have an iOS device, you can view and email the list of available fonts with iFonts, but if you don't have a device, this article is a great reference.
