Unfortunately, I am hearing reports that MathTerms does not run under iOS 8. I had tested it with prerelease versions of iOS but it fails to load and run under the latest iOS 8.0.2. I am investigating and looking to fix… In the meantime, I have suspended downloads from iTunes. UPDATE: Unfortunately, I have not …
I was perusing Apple iOS documentation the other day and thought I’d check my “Sales and Trends” graphs for MathTerms for iPad. Downloads have been pretty flat for the last year as I have not updated or promoted MathTerms 1.x. Much to my surprise, on May 13, 2014, there were over 50,000 downloads! I consulted …
I *finally* finished my port of MathTerms for “generic” Android devices. I had previously done specific implementations for Amazon Kindle Fire and B&N Nook but now have a version for Android tablets and high-resolution smart phones. I reworked the layout code to detect screen resolution and orientation — to provide better layout and legibility. I …
There has been a lot of press coverage and law-suits flying over app privacy concerns and data usage. MathTerms does not currently (in version 1.x) include a policy inside the app or on associated Help pages. Very simply put, MathTerms collects NO data on usage and has NO internet connection.

I did a quick look at download statistics for MathTerms at iTunes, Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I was way surprised! I expected many downloads for iPad and not so much for Android.

Barnes and Noble is preparing an educational apps initiative. Seemed like a good time to make sure MathTerms works well on the Nook. I’ve done a bit of updating to the UI and fixed a couple of minor layout issues. Should be submitted for the Nook Storefront very soon…
I finally finished the Android version of MathTerms. Its my first Android app and I had my challenges learning all-things-android as well as wrestling with different versions of the Appcelerator Titanium SDK. I spent considerable time ensuring that MathTerms would run well on different resolution tablets. While primarily intended for the very popular Kindle Fire, …
MathTerms now available in the Amazon AppStore for Android Read More »
I’ve been making good progress on porting MathTerms to the Android OS with the goal of running on Amazon’s new Kindle Fire device. It should also be able to run on the Nook when done — I hope 😉 I have most of the logic and user interface implemented. Here are a couple of screen …
MathTerms was written using Appcelerator Titanium so that I could deploy on iOS devices or Android devices. It does need substantial screen real estate, however, to see graphics and text — i.e. is really designed for tablets. Amazon has finally announced the Kindle Fire. I am in the process of porting to Android. As Amazon …
The iPad appication, “MathTerms” is now live and available on iTunes. For more information and support, you can use the top navigation menu to go to Apps -> MathTerms. It took a week after submitting the app to Apple to get into the review queue but only about a day to actually review it. I’m …
