We are very happy to announce, that Apple just approved our latest App “TextPal” for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

TextPal allows you to send text messages (SMS) to several people at once. We’ve put a lot of thought and hard work into this product and hope, that you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.

Official product description:

Texting is fun. It’s a convenient way to quickly share news, remind someone of something important or just keep in touch, when calling is not an option. However, sometimes you might want to send a message to several people at once and that’s where TextPal really becomes your best friend.

TextPal allows you to create individual groups and fill them with members. You can manually enter contact information or directly pick persons from your address book.

Managing both groups and contacts couldn’t be easier. Want to change a group name, add another member later, edit contact information, remove a person from a specific group or delete an entire group? NO PROBLEM. You name it, TextPal can do it!

When it comes to composing and sending your messages, TextPal unleashes its real power. Only 3 simple steps are needed – it’s unbelievable!

1) Compose your message

2) Pick recipient groups

3) Choose “Send” and confirm.

That’s it – we’re sure, you’ll love it!

Want even more? No problem, we’ve got it.

Here is a list of our most exciting features:

* Create as many groups as you like.

* Rename groups any time.

* Add members directly from your address book.

* Assign an individual contact image to every person (pick from photo library).

* Edit contact information or remove contacts any time.

* Templates: Type your message whenever you feel like and send it later.

* Custom contact sorting: decide whether to order them alphabetically by first or last name.

* Advanced in app help: useful tips and tricks teach you how to use the application.

* Detailed message information: Date/time and recipient groups also get saved and allow you to easily send any message again. On top of that you can even choose between sending it to the same recipient groups or pick new      ones.

* Both portrait and landscape support throughout the app.

* App supports iPhone 4 Retina display.

* Much, much more…

If you’re developing an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad app and get stuck, the internet definitely is your friend. You can find lots of helpful resources on different coding forums or sites like this one.

However, sometimes the information there is just not enough or you might have an idea and don’t know how to get started.
Well, this is where our new service might come in handy.

As of now, you can schedule a 1 on 1 session with one of our coders and he/she will help you.

Sessions will be held via iChat and our coder will share his/her screen with you. This way, you can exactly see what is going on and therefore learn much faster. If you like, we’ll also do a screen recording for free, so you can watch it later again and again at no extra cost.

Some session examples:

* Your first app: How to build proper view hierarchy.
* SQLite database programming.
* Server communication – How to submit and retrieve data from a webserver.
* In app purchases.
* Push notifications.
* 3D game development
* etc…

Our live coding sessions are available in both english and german language.

If you’re interested, just send an email to lindmandesignsupport[at]me.com and we’ll provide you with details on pricing, etc…
