A huge update for the Lilypie, Daisypath and PitaPata iOS Apps, I have added a Today extension for iOS 8 and made a lot of bug fixes and stability improvements for all platforms.

Double click on the widget if you want to change the tickers displayed. Single click on the widget if you want to refresh the ticker or cycle through a set of tickers.

There are now three Home Screen Widgets to choose from. A Compact (original) size which will show 1 ticker, a Compact Double size which shows 2 tickers and a larger Standard version (1 ticker only).

In Rubble Maker a once peaceful valley has been invaded, it is your job to strategically demolish all the buildings without blowing up any bunnies. Different buildings will require one to seven detonations. Once a building is reduced to rubble, life starts to return, so don't blow up the rubble.

You can try the game for free, then for around $1 you can unlock the full game to play all 192 maps and have the option to generate an unlimited number of random maps.

Rubble Maker is Ad free.

I am now working on the iOS version for iPhones and iPads.

If your device supports it, the widgets can also be added to your lock screen.

NOTE: You may need to remove and re-add the widget for it to work correctly.

Lilypie: Assisted conception ticker

I have created an Assisted Conception event ticker with a variable time scale for people trying to conceive using IVF, IUI, ICSI, GIFT or any other form of assisted conception. For instance, you can count down to your next embryo transfer, starting injections or days left until your pregnancy/beta test. Or you can count from your last stim.

You can set the time scale as long or short as you like, the scale is based on the start or stop date you set.

Sky Field : Free android app

We have added a new free Android App to our Google play store called Sky Field. Sky Field is a beautiful maths puzzler, to soothe your eyes and give your brain a workout.

In Sky Field you aim to reach the target number from the 6 random numbers supplied. Just like the "numbers" part of the TV show "Letters and Numbers" or "Countdown" you can choose your number combinations from big and small numbers.

Soothed by the gently scrolling sky field you may be surprised at how solvable problems become. Once you get on a roll it is very rewarding.

Sky Field is free to play and there are no Ads. For $1 (one US dollar) you can unlock 16 Achievements as well as the Statistics sections of the game. This is a one-time purchase and the only in-app purchase in the game.

Android Apps for Lilypie, Daisypath and PitaPata

We have created Android Apps for Lilypie, Daisypath and PitaPata that you can purchase through Google Play. The Apps let you create and use tickers on your Android device without an Internet connection.
With the App installed on your phone you can display the tickers as a widget on your Android device's home screen and when you are online you can publish the tickers to sites such as Facebook, Google+, Blogger etc.

On the home screen widget you can always see which event is coming up next, and click to refresh and cycle through your tickers.

Purchasing the app gives you free access to a library of ticker packages with lots more hand drawn images to choose from when you create your tickers.

There are more details on the Google Play pages including a current list of the ticker packages: Lilypie, Daisypath and PitaPata App pages.

Daisypath: Single mother vacation sliders

I have drawn some new single mother sliders for the Daisypath Travel and Vacation slider.

Facebook App update

We have made a change to all of our Facebook Apps so that when you Publish the ticker to your Facebook feed, it posts the full ticker as a Photo, previously it posted as a thumbnail to your newstream.

The Photo is a cached copy of the ticker image, it doesn't update. Whenever you want to see, or publish the latest ticker image you can go to your App canvas page on Facebook.

A link to your App canvas page will appear in the left column of your home page.

You will also see the App icon in the top right menu when you are in another application.

Here are links to each of the App canvas pages on Facebook:
Lilypie App
Daisypath App
PitaPata App
LilySlim App
