iHear version 1.0.0 has been approved by Apple and is now in the App Store. This app contains a total of 95 sets of pictures and sounds. In this game, a grid of pictures is displayed and each picture has a real sound associated with it. When a sound is played, you must find the picture that matches the sound and tap it.
iHear helps kids to:
1) Sharpen their active listening and concentration skills.
2) Improve their observation and sound discrimination skill.
These skills are basic fundamentals for language, listening, and reading.
Pomotion Code, iPhone
Apple’s promotion code redeeming process is not as easy as you might think. Here are the steps:
1. Go to your PC or Mac’s iTunes. This is the biggest confusion. You can not redeem any promotion code from iPhone/iPodTouch.
2. Click on “iTunes Store” on the left,
3. Make sure you’re in the root of ITunes directory
4. On the right, in the “Quick Links” section, there is a “Redeem” link
Here are 3 iPattern Kids promotion codes for the first 3 visitors.

When I submitted iPattern Kids to Apple, I had to set the “Availability date” for the app. I have heard Apple’s app approval process is quite long - some developers said their apps were approved in three weeks, and when they finally had them approved, their apps were buried ten pages into the “New Releases” list in iTunes and nobody was able to find it. So I set iPattern Kids’ availability date to one month in the future.
It turns out at least for my app, not that bad. One week after I submitted, I got the much-awaited email from Apple saying that iPattern Kids was approved. I reset my availability date to that day, and within a couple of hours, it was in iTune. Mission accomplished!

My first iPhone app, iPattern Kids, is now in iTune app store.
I started iPattern Kids development in January. My son just turned three and loves to play with iPhone during our travel time. When I browsed through the app store and tried to get something to entertain him, I didn’t find many tot friendly and educational apps. He played a lot of big kids games instead, but I was not happy so I decided to create one that’s suitable for younger kids.
iPattern Kids is a little kid’s game. It was designed to entertain and educate tots on basic skills. I put in simple patterns and geometric shapes so kids can learn to organize and identify them. My son also learned to “predict” the next element in a repeat pattern using the app. His favorite part is the firework comes after he has finished a level.
