7stacks v1.5 beta 1

For a while, I wasn’t sure I’d get to this point, but, here it is! Version 1.5 beta 1 will be the new foundation for 7stacks, at least for a while. If you see this update, and think “Not much has changed”, then I’m sorry to disappoint, but there’s a reason.

Coming up for air

I’ve been busy hunkered down in Casa de Alastria, clacking away on the keyboard like a madman. And the fruits of my labor are about to be revealed. I’m about to release 3 apps .. 2 new apps and 1 update. First, the update is to Speedy Shopper 2.0. Circumstances beyond my control have caused me to have a severe delay in the development of this. But Beta 1 has been used by...
