I am currently finalizing the iOS4 bug-fix update, and will be submitting it to Apple in the morning. This will serve as Version 1.5, as it combines elements of Versions 1 and the almost-completed Version 2. It will return to the App Store as soon as it has been approved.

Some of the updates included in Version 1.5 include:
- Corrected and updated text with new content, especially for Type on the Web
- HD graphics for iPhone 4 Retina Display
- Bouncing menus (yay!)
- General interface updates, new icon, and all-around prettier to look at
- Type Anatomy graphics can scroll side-to-side between terms
- Type Anatomy images have been updated, and some new terms added
- Font Size Ruler can now scroll the full text at any size
- Font Size Ruler includes more typefaces
- Faster page loading, and generally more-responsive UI
- Minor bug fixes
- Graphic updates to this site to reflect the new UI will arrive when the app has been approved

Thank you all for your patience in this matter, I greatly appreciate it, and look forward to spending more time on making Version 2 the best app I can. In the meantime (I’m sorry, shameless self-plug…), play a few rounds of The Font Game.

As of today, The Typography Manual has officially been in the App Store for one week. I am in awe at the responses we’ve received, and hope to build in all the suggestions and feedback to make the app even more useful.

On Wednesday, July 15th, we were the #5 paid Reference app in the US iTunes Store, and are still in the top 20. We’ve been featured on Gizmodo, Design Observer, Kottke, Coudal Partners, Cult of Mac, and many design and personal blogs. We’ve been mentioned constantly on Twitter, and I hope word continues to spread!

I am working on a blog post about creating the app, which will be posted in the next day or so, along with some mockups for Version 2. The next two weeks will be slightly busy as Andrew and I both pack up to move, but the first week of August will have more details of what’s in store for the future.

Thanks to everyone that has downloaded The Typography Manual!

Wow! The response has been absolutely fantastic so far. I get goosebumps reading all the comments. Thank you all for loving this precious child of mine as much as I do. I can’t wait to implement your suggestions and ideas, and show you all what I have cooked up for the future of the manual.

The Typography Manual is now available for purchase!
