Will the app be available for the iPad, or Android phones? Yes, we’re working on both iPad and Android versions, but I don’t yet have a timetable for these.

What about the book? Will it be revised? Yes, a new edition of the book is in the works too, and due out next spring (though delays are common in book publishing).

Please let me know how you like the app—and don’t forget to rate it and write a review in the app store!
