Hello all
Sorry for the long "leave of absence" there. Life was unfortunately becoming a little overwhelming for a while, and I wasn't able to keep up with all of my responsibilities (including this app). Like we learn in Tanya, G-d desires the "struggle" of us actively working against our yetzer hara. Apparently G-d also desires the struggle of me making this Tanya app. (As I can imagine Rabbi Taub saying, "How do you know G-d wants you to struggle? Because you're struggling!")
There are several issues with the app currently: there is a bug in the luach that makes it misapply the leap year cycle, the app hasn't been updated to iOS 4.x standards, and I haven't been able to keep up with my membership payments to maintain access to the app.
In addition to my time/money problems, those issues were complicated by the fact that I lost the source code when my computer crashed. Without the source code, I would have to rewrite the whole app from scratch. I know, you're telling yourself "didn't he have a backup?" I did... at least, I thought I did. It took me a real long time to find it, though. For a while I thought I was going crazy. But, B"H, I did just recently find my backup
Now that I have the source code again, I'm going to try to make some time to push out a new version with all the updates. I'd love to get it out before Yud-Tes Kislev, but I don't think that's going to happen. Depending on how my current rotation (OB/Gyn) goes, I'll try to finish it in the next couple weeks. If not, I should be able to do it over winter break.
Thanks to everyone for your patience. Sorry it's taken me this long to get my act together.

ReplyDeleteBut please don't leave those of us still suck in 3.x land in the cold!
ReplyDeleteGreat news, at the right time of year. This is one of the best designed Jewish apps. Hope to see more of the same in the near future.
ReplyDeleteThis is great news! I'm hoping to join the land of the touch screen and would love to start learning Tanya again. (This will inspire me to do it on the train).
ReplyDeleteHey if you put a donation link on the blog I will be happy to make a small contribution ($18). I use this app every day and I think you should be compensated for your time.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime as we near the end of the tanya the leap year and regular year have converged and the coming year is a leapyear so it seams that problem has solved itself.
Does it also help with the money if I click on the ads on the blog?
ReplyDeleteMaybe? I think over the history of the app I've earned around $5 total for all of the visits to the blog. Maybe in another couple years it will accumulate to something that Google will actually send me a check for...
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy tp pay for the 4.0 version on iTunes. It's a great app and a real mitzvah. We're pulling for u.

ReplyDeleteGood luck. I tried to download the app - but its no longer available. Hopt to see it soon. This is my first choice from the app store. And my first exploration into this since I was Bar Mitzvah 35 years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's now availible to dowload. I just downloaded it last week. So excited to learn Tanya again on my iPhone.
ReplyDeleteI see it's gone again. Is that temporary?
ReplyDeleteI had it & loved it but since updating my phone I can't find it in iTunes anymore. Please bring it back, I'd gladly pay for it.
