Application Developers - pimp your wares here, BUT READ THE RULES

    We seem to have a number of Boardsies developing apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I would like to give as much support as possible and facilitate discussion about the whole area of developing such apps.

    With that in mind, feel free to pimp your app in this thread. But, and I can't emphasise this enough, read the rules before you post.

    1. Your first post on Boards.ie MUST NOT be in this thread. In other words, don't sign up purely to advertise your application
    2. You are allowed one post per application in this thread. Use a different post if you have more than one app
    3. No discussion in this thread - use a different thread for discussion on a particular application
    4. Don't advertise your application in any other thread
    5. Use the template below to provide details
    6. Feel free to add in screen shots

    Thanks to Kinetik^ for the idea on the format. See here for an example on how it works on the Console modding forum.

    Please use this template:

    App Name: Perfect Matchmaker
    One line summary: an iPhone App for testing 'relationship' compatibility with a sneaky twist
    Min. OS version required: 3.1.2
    Price: 0.79 EUR
    Available from: App Store
    Link to store: http://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/perfect-matchmaker/id337623905?mt=8
    Detailed description:

    Perfect Matchmaker is an application that lets you scan the fingerprints of two people and find out how compatible they are for a loving relationship.

    Two people place a finger each on the screen and the application scans them for several seconds before revealing how compatible they are from 0% to 100%.

    Of course, this is a prank or joke, as the real secret is that the percentage compatibility depends on where the 'start the matchmaker' button is pressed... Further to the left gives a lower score, further to the right gives a higher score.

    Have fun with your friends and family as you 'analyze' their relationships with existing or possible mates!
