Custom iPhone/iPad App Development Services I am all about building apps, from functional design to interface design though implementation, testing, launch and updates, every app I make is a handcrafted work of art. I have experience building educational apps, games, shopping apps, medical apps, kiosk apps, 3D visualizations, local and remote database integration, openGL, physics, sound, gestures, location/maps, in-app purchases, image manipulation, sound manipulation, dynamic ads, animation, twitter/facebook/email integration, etc. If you can dream it up, I can build it. |
