      What's the name of the app and how are they sold? Can we fellow hubbers help him out by writing a hub about his game? Just a thought...
      Congratulations!!

         Hey Izzy
         Thanks so much for your comments and thoughts.
         
         Apps are sold on the iphone website.  If you're into word games and feel like writing an article, feel free. 
         
         The game is called wooords - it's very much like those games we all (???) used to play on the frig with magnetic letters....rearranging them to make new words.  You can earn points and play with others.  Its a VERY cool spin on an old game to bring it into the new digital age.
         
         Appreciate your comments.

            I had a look and it looks great. Unfortunately I don't have an iphone or anything so modern, so can't actually try it out. I think someone else who is more hip than me should write a review because all I'd be doing to re-wording someone else's review which isn't really the way to do it.
            It's getting rave reviews by the way!

               Thanks Izzy.  Your thoughts are much appreciated.  I agree, you need to play it to understand what its about.
               
               Glad you like the look of the game.... and so do a great many others by the reviews.

   Thanks Rob.  I hope its a success too - he deserves it!   
   
   Getting it to market took up many many hours of his weekend along with foregone holidays to get it done so my fingers (and toes) are crossed for it to be a flier!

          Congrats to your kid for getting this done and on the market - so many try and fail to keep at it long enough - good on him !!
          
          Why don't you put the game name on here so that me (and others) can go take a look at it -  it would not be promotional of course, just helping the likes of me who have no idea of what an iphone is, let alone what a game would look like !

             Hello Recommend
             How are things in your part of the world?
             You are so right its taken a very long time to get it to market, then apple needed to approve it before allowing it on their site.  All of that's done now though.  So that's another reason why I'm very excited for him.
             
             I know you have NO idea what an iphone is - me neither - () .... but just in case you do, its a word game and its called wooords.
