It will work on the iPad but probably only take up half the screen. No 
fear; there is a button to make the app full screen.

You can use i phone apps on your i pad, but the screen area is usually the same 
size as it is on the i phone.

Sometimes, there will be an option to blow up the app screen so it fills your i 
pad screen, though.

I have both, and I haven’t had any trouble running i phone apps on my i pad, 
just be aware of the smaller size.

Re: DoItWrite 1.0 for iPhone from Draconis Entertainment

2013-11-17 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Josh,
You stated that punctuation might be in a future version of DoItWrite.
I can predict that there would be problems with learning punctuation marks.
How does the phone distinguish between an accent, grave accent and a comma,
or a dash, hyphen and an underscore?
Then some of them are very complex such as the and sign and at sign.
Is the quote sign, two marks like commas or just one?
And can you do left and right quotes?
And what does a carrot look like? A jay with a peaked hat?
I'm guessing most people only need to know how to make the period for most 
short messages.
Phil

2013-11-16 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Josh,
I bought DoItWrite and it's great!
I love the Automatic feedback and coach via voice over and sound effects.
It would be nice to have a score of how many times you got each letter 
correct.

And how about a tutor of punctuation marks?
I didn't notice that they were included.
I didn't try the game yet.
Thanks,
Phil

Firstly, really cool app! I wrote that entire first sentence, except 
punctuation, with handwriting! That's totally awesome! I've had some issues 
with VoiceOver interpreting the letters instead of the app, but over all, I'm 
really impressed. I'm having lots of fun, too. Lol I get lowercase q and d (or 
is it b.org? ), mixed up all the time. It's great, though.


Thanks,
Ari

Hi Phil,

Our plan has been to add punctuation in an update if the app proved popular and 
there was demand for the punctuation category as well.

Thanks for the feedback. We hope to be able to add some features in the future, 
and these are good ideas. 

We welcome any other feature suggestions.

Re: DoItWrite 1.0 for iPhone from Draconis Entertainment

I, too, would greatly appreciate a punctuation section of the app. I have no 
idea how to write any kind of punctuation except maybe a period, and even then, 
I'm not quite sure where it goes in relation to the letter to which it's next. 
I learned most of my print letters from licence plates, which was fun. I also 
got to play with those cutout plastic magnetic letters that had braille on them 
when I was a kid.

Anyhow, awesome app!


Thanks,
Ari
