At 3pm EDT today, StepWise Improvements: Walking is live in the Apple App Store. This app has been a labor of love, to help me get more exercise in, and step away from the computer or desk. As an indie developer, I love apps that are: Hopefully, this app scratches your itch too!

Getting ready to Launch
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working hard in the evenings and weekends to get my app, Stepwise Improvements, ready for launch.

I highly recommend you check […]
