Yes!!! It was about time… Really frustrating procedure of accepting a utility app. Apple wanted to remove “Free Memory” and they manage to spent 2 months on postponing the release!!!
I don’t know why… but those two months belong to the past. Now to make it up to you, I’ll spare few licenses to the lucky ones!
Download Version 1.00 for iPhone

It seems that statistique will take a while to be released!
Apple rejected it because of the “free memory” functionality. I had to remove the “free” button so I can be accepted. More like a tracking utility of memory and battery.
Anyway…
“Your application, Statistique, is requiring unexpected additional time for review. We apologize for the delay, and will update you with further status as soon as we are able.”
I assume that it will be out soon…
Hello again…
Few things before I go…. (Yeap back to Greece via Heerenveen :P)
I finish working on the Laboratory, it was an amazing year-out and now I am back to university. I really want to say “Thank you” to my University (DMU) for giving me the opportunity to study and furthermore, to work on their research lab.
Anyway, hopefully free time will come to work in all the apps…
Have fun ;)

A really painful procedure and I think you notice that everywhere…
Due to number of apps that are submitted to the App Store, it’s taking some time to check the apps and approve them or worst reject them depending on there criteria.
They currently say that 88% of the submissions are checked within 14 days.
So, they need about 16 days for 100% = (88/14) * 15.9090909091
Am I right? Who’s Fooling who???? Statistique is day 18 ;)
I woke up in a really good mood today, it’s one of these days (15 of August) that I am usually in Greece but not this year due to my work in the university… so I will share 10 promo codes for Greek Radio. ;)
Feel lucky to read the post first… and have fun…
The purpose of this post is to explain few things about Greek Radio.
So far I received dozens of emails with similar (kind-of) requests!
Let’s start with WMA/ASX stations. The application doesn’t support these kind of streams and the rest of the Greek Streams (Mainly stations from Athens) are encoded on a windows media format. I am trying to inform the owners of the stations and convince them to stream on different format as well.
I am still waiting for responses, I don’t know whether they consider it or not, but the amount of potential listeners is huge. (If you want to know the exact number you can contact me.)
The other request is to make Greek Radio play on the background!
I wish I could, but is impossible, Apple forbids background processing and there is nothing I can do for that.
Thanks for your time…
Well if have donated on the past on any project here at nscoding you can request for an App store promo code (I think is US only, but still there is a way to use it outside US) for Greek Radio or Statistique (check the post below) that will be out soon.
Yours faithfully…

Here it is ;) the website is almost ready and the application is in “review” by Apple. (You know what that means, endless waiting…)
You can see a short preview of the application! Any comment will be great, if anyone reads this blog anyway, ;)
Stay tuned for promo codes ;)
When I first got my first Mac (Mini intel, a gift from my beloved aunt), apparently I wasn’t that experienced to code for the Mac but the purpose was to start with Java or C and eventually “try” to learn Cocoa.
When there isn’t anyone around you to show some basic stuff, not code but how to use Interface builder and Xcode, it can be a pain…
So a mac mini was great to start trying to develop and also install windows to work on my visual basic assignments for school. After a certain period of time my Mini had other issues, it was extremely slow and it couldn’t handle my pressure (metaphorically).
Then, my parents got me a Macbook Pro as gift (I know, like a dream came true) and the price of the computer somehow affected me (in a good way) and I’ve started to trying even more.
Finally, success…
Yeah, I wrote my own app (iDMG), it was fantastic, I was so proud that I was wasting every free minute just for that. But there was a bad side-effect because of that. It was during my exams and I didn’t revise… ;)
I still remember developing iDMG 1.25 till 7:30am while I had an exam at 8:00am. The exam went well but it could go better.
My point:
I am trying to find out if a developer needs a high-end computer or not? It seems like a no to me, my brand new macbook ‘hehe’ is doing perfectly so far…
iPhone development, when it comes to Application (not Games) usually there is not any lite (trial) version for people to have a chance on trying a product before they even buy it.
As a result, people having a bunch of apps and I assume, they realize that they don’t use many of them… They just have the apps in the itunes list…
What are the criteria?
Name -> Icon -> Screenshots -> Reviews
It seems to me that Promotion and User Interface are the keys for success? Am I right? I don’t know, but I tend to figure out soon…
Best marketing?
Pretty obvious is the iTunes store. If you have the chance to be in a list like “new and noteworthy” or “top paid” is the best advertising you can ever have…
Functionality?
Is it the approval process from Apple that ensures functionality?
