Dear Lacemakers, I was recently privileged to be able to test David Leader's Beta version of "Lace" on my iPad Air! I had installed the iPhone version earlier this fall and was impressed, but having the program enhanced for the larger iPad screen really makes it even better!
The program is spectacular, to say the least! Pictures of each piece of lace are clear and beautiful, and large enough to be able to see the distinguishing features! (If you used the iPhone version on your iPad, as I did, you could click to increase the size of the pages, but this resulted in a loss of resolution.). The information is organized in several different ways, making it very user friendly. You may also explore many types of grounds found in lace, as well as the definitions of broader types of lace made. Having such a comprehensive source so accessible is wonderful! The best part is that new information can be added as it becomes available to David. For those who already have the phone app, you'll notice an excellent addition on the iPad app: there is a tiny globe in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, and tapping this while looking at a piece of lace will show you a map which indicates where the lace was traditionally made. I love this feature! It is very interesting to see the subtle similarities and differences in laces from various locations. The program is now available in the App Store, and if you have an iPad, you can download it! It is well worth the $2.99! Thanks David, for all of the work that went into this and thank you Jean... I know you were very involved in the project as well!
