Last weekend, I was pleased to present Spelling Champion to a group of loving mothers in Dublin area. During the presentation, I discovered a bug in the app. With this bug in place, when there is no internet connection, the app will offer an exception message and then function as pre-normal.
This does not affect the usage of the app, but it does negatively impact the overall experience with the app.
Upon returning home, I rushed to my computer. After a few hours of working, I figured out the root cause of the problem and fixed it. Before went to bed on Saturday night, I made an submission for a new release.
This submission also update the server name to the new server address, with this change, I have completed Azure migration for the server.
Besides, I also updated the promotional images I got from my graphic designer, Chris Wang.
This morning, I realized that the submission is certified my the store and it is. Now in the store. The new version number is 1.2.2.10.
Enjoy it.

Spelling Champion 1..2.2.7 is in store now
This morning, I found that my submission has passed Microsoft certification and it is in store now. (1.2.2.7). In this release, I incorporated a new set of logos designed by the talented Graphics Designer from Singapore, Chris Wang. The new set of logo is much beautiful and works well with Windows Tiles design.
The second change is Windows 8 "Share". First of all, you can share the screenshot or the app list URL to any app that was designed to be the target of the Windrows Share. Microsoft Mail is one of them. to list a few, FaceBook, Twitter, Fresh Paint, OneNote are some other share targets you can choose. In this Release, I add a sharing feature in Modules page, for you to share your Spelling Champion experience with your friends. On the Lesson page, upon completion of your lesson, you can share your practices report with other apps. the common usage of that could be sending your practice result to your parents or your teacher.
The is a small change on the lesson page as well, based on the feedback, I enlarged the font size of the hint text.
Finally, I discovered and fixed a bug related to app license. the bug only surfaces in debug mode, when it is in release mode, the app works as it should. Since it is a bug, I just fix it.
This release also establish a good foundation for orientation changes of the app. With this release, I will be able to work on all pages to make them response to the orientation changes of your device to have better user experience with the app when the app is installed on a tablet device like Surface.
As always, if you have some suggestions comments on the app, please feel free to drop me a note, I will look into it whenever my schedule allows.
thank you for your support, let's keep Spelling Champion move on...
