    Celebrating ART 4.4 approval!

    We have finally released and got approved ART 4.4. version. It took us 2 months to make it. We hope you will like it. There were 2 major problems in 4.3 which we addressed in 4.4:
    1. Some users had regular crashes on launch
    2. We removed modern artists.

    In 4.4 we have isolated the feature that made it crash on start to solve the problem #1.
    To solve #2, we added 35 modern artists, including: Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Mark Rothko, Joan Miro, Grant Wood, Georgia O’Keefe, Marc Chagall, Diego Rivera, Edward Hopper, Ernst Kirchner, Paul Klee, Roul Dufy, Henri Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky, Edouard Vuillard, Edvard Munch, Arshile Gorky, Frida Kahlo, Francis Bacon, Jackson Pollock, Andrew Wyeth, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Fernando Botero.

    As we are not allowed to use images of modern paintings without licensing and paying great sum of money in advance for every single image, we have not included images in the application. Instead we added links to online galleries and created a built-in web browser that will let you not only see pictures, but also save them for your personal use at any time. Now you can create your own galleries with even higher quality images and extend your galleries indefinitely!

    To celebrate the approval, we give away 5 promo codes:
    4F7AT3T9HY7T
    WF3LNJR47XYK

    World Countries 2.2 approved!

    Today we are celebrating approval of version 2.2.! We spent at least 3 weeks working on it and almost a month to get it through to the appstore.

    The major improvement there is integration of OpenFeint. We have most of all features of OpenFeint used in World Countries: Leaderboards, Achievements and Challenges.
    The most interesting feature is Challenges. It’s might be a bit unusual, but once you learn how to use it, you will definitely like it.

    After every quiz or flag game you will be offered to send your game as a challenge. If you do that, it means you will send exactly the same questions (for quiz) or flags (for flag games) to your opponent(s) and after your opponent finishes the challenge you both will see who did better.

    As usually we give away some promo codes for new users:
