I’m delighted to say that my first two apps have been approved by Apple. My first one was approved last Saturday - a free app about the Irish Presidency of the European Council which starts in January 2013 (I even managed to get paid for making it!!). It was approved first time around and my customer is very happy :-). We are planning a version 1.1 in the new year where I’ll also put in a splash screen like Susan’s Film Fest one so that users will know to continuously refresh (great idea Susan, for apps that need to be updated regularly). https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/irishsemester/id585962812?l=en&mt=8 My second app was approved today - Patrick’s Kit: all you need to be prepared for St. Patrick’s Day, on March 17th. It was rejected the first time because I had submitted it with the GPS tracking on when the app had no need for that functionality (dawww! silly me!). It was approved the second time around today, just before the app store closed down… phew!!... Here’s a few promo codes. https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/patricks-kit/id583304148?l=en&mt=8 MAN3XL7EF3K4 4J366PYKM999 LWNWL97NRHWY 3KTKPYNY737F HY6LJMFYLM9W YA4EJXJKANHM 4HWERAAWR4WE 7KAWN7HP9H46 A massive thank you for helping me to achieve what last year was only a distant dream!!! @David - Buzztouch is a-ma-zing!!!! - thank you soooo much for creating the tool and the community, both of which are in a league of their own! Special thanks also to @Kittsy (fabulous support - thanks Andrew!!), @Atrain for creating the video plugin and @Susan for creating the picture menu - two plugins I love!! and for your words of wisdom on the excellent webinars. Thanks also to other folks on the forum who were so quick with answers when I was pulling my hair out trying to figure stuff out @LA, @LeonG, @Stobe (love those Buzzcasts and your webinar on from first login to Appstore - invaluable!) and anyone I've missed - Thank you! I have so much more to learn in 2013 - planning to try out Android and making an app using Aurasma. Christmas has come….and I’m one happy camper! Have a hAppy one all ;-) ... and be in touch again in the New Year! Derval

Congrat's Derval, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you ! have fun !

Well Done! -- Smug

Great Job :-) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!!!!

@Otatech - a big thank you to you too!!! You got me on the right track for the countdown!! Next year, I’ll work on making it even prettier! Grazie mille e tanti auguri anche a te!

Way to go sister! So proud of you! Way to use the plugin market ;) Happy Holidays! Sheri

@dervalo wait till you see a countdown plugin I'm working on.

Looking forward to it @Kittsy… it’ll be going into Patrick’s Kit v 1.1!! Have a great Christmas!

Awesome. I know you've been a busy critter and great to see the results. This is yet another great example of a user starting from square 1 to having a finished product in what @ 4 months? and 4 months ago you had no idea what building an app entailed? just more solid proof folks what some effort can do. Bravo. Love the circle menu in use. I have a hunch there's another new menu on the horizon that might make your 1.1 update too. Just wait until you see what he's done with that code! Go IRISH! and do they do the "Shamrock Shake" thing over there?

You got it in one @Atrain! Busy 4 months and my life has literally changed as a result thanks to Buzztouch. Thank you. Isn’t the circle menu fab? Just a row of simple green shamrocks… perfect! Very much looking forward to seeing that new code! ..eh….shamrock shake? You’ve got me there!!! Is that something MacDonald’s produces? Check out my Irish Coffee video on the Patrick’s Kit app, and you’ll never look back!!! Happy Christmas!!! Nollaig sono duit!!! and thanks again!

Good looking apps, bravo!! The Circle menu really makes the difference. Merry Xmas!!

Nice work!! they look great

Fantastic work!

Very nice, @Dervalo! Congratulations! Merry Christmas!

Nice one @Dervalo, and yes you will love @Kittsy's countsdown timer. Enjoy the Christmas break (you are allowed to check itunes connect or AppAnnie to watch the downloads pile up :) ) Lekker Bly

Great work! Loved the Irish Coffee video. Lost with the dance content. Interesting use of circle menu plug in. Merry Christmas. Mike
