In the past, we used to interview all the authors, when they published their Kwik made apps. With more and more apps getting into the stores, this practice became impossible to be done, reason why we decided to create our Showcase to, at least, highlight everybody’s work. We are happy to announce that we will interview App of the Month winners, as well as authors with distinguished works or services. Hopefully these interviews will inspire others to follow their lead while creating great content. Today we talk to Nuriza, from LogiTales. She is the author of “Zala and the Treasure Cave”, my “current favorite” storybook made with Kwik 🙂 …

App of the Month: Kids Song Planet
Facebook survey votes (less than twenty votes) did not make justice to the great apps made with Kwik in July. Hopefully this will change in the next months, when people gets familiar with the new App of the Month Award. Kids Song Planet is one of the best apps made with Kwik to date. The illustrations are gorgeous, animations are perfectly timed and the songs selection is addictive. The team from Mooblegum did indeed a great job. With more than 100 interactive elements in 6 songs, 2 mini games, and with the possibility to play the tune together with the song, users will have hours of fun playing! The sing…

Saying that, I am re-publishing all the demos I have to check if the new code works as expected and, I need your help to check what “real people” are doing with Kwik. If you have a project following the requirement list below, let me know: Your…
