The latest iOS application I wrote for my day job — Phil & Kirstie: House Hunter — was released last week. For those of you keeping count, that's two so far this year. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Slow down there, Stu. It's because of prodigiously productive sods like you that I have to wade through thousands of titles looking for that one fart app which is right for me." Point taken. I'll try to pace myself a little more slowly for the rest of the year (although I may have to medically-induce a coma to do so).
I won't be offering any insight into the development of the app, because if I tried I'd probably get very unprofessional very quickly and start using phrases likely to denigrate web monkeys who think they'll have a go at designing iPhone apps, not to mention the general "just do us a copy of this other app" mentality which seems to prevail these days. Instead I will simply link to this video and leave it at that.
(The app also has its own Twitter account — @HouseHunterApp — but I won't be following it. The app and I don't really have much to say to each other. It knows why.)
Still, one of the nice things about working on something so comparatively high-profile is you get featured in the App Store — although they could have gone with a more interesting image. I wanted one of my Creative colleagues to sex it up by PhotoShopping an explosion into the background, but they refused. (Or rather, they just ignored my e-mail. Typical. I mean, come on, ladies. How long would it have taken one of you? It's probably just a single button click.)
