I can not say that MapPocket is a wild success, but lately we enjoyed a steady grow of revenue. I should confess that watching a trend line of revenue going undisputably up does make you feel a little bit proud.

If you develop for iOS, you probably read about "frictions" between Apple and DropBox (if not, just Google DropBox API reject).  Even if you are not using DropBox, you may want to pay attention to this.... read more
