Future Apps Celebrates First Year on the App Store!

July 29, 2009

It is hard to believe that just a year ago today our first App, Distance Meter, went on sale on the App Store. It has been one great ride leading this company from its humble beginnings into one of the leading software development companies on the iPhone platform in such a short time.

 

We have had one phenomenal first year. Future Apps has released six core applications in the past year, all of which have ranked number one in their respective categories. Distance Meter has been the number one GPS based workout application since release and continues to do well. Our conversion app, iConvert, with its ingenious user interface has been the overall number one selling unit converter on the App Store for the past year.  One of our newest products, iSpeak Language Translators, have enjoyed being the top downloaded language/translating apps since release. The app’s key selling feature, its ability to speak back translated phrases using a high quality text to speech engine, has been an overwhelming success with our users. We now support eleven languages, with many more coming soon!

 

We are very proud on the success of our first year on the still fledgling, and somewhat chaotic, App Store, but we are not stopping there. We have some exciting plans in store for the rest of 2009 and 2010 that will keep Future Apps at the spearhead of iPhone development. We have been hard at work at a complete ground up redesign of our first app Distance Meter, that will build on the success of the original app with many new features. Look for Distance Meter 2.0 on the App Store in the coming weeks! We also have some exciting new updates for our iSpeak language apps that will redefine the term “The Most Advance Mobile Translator.” These are just some of the projects we are currently working on, and have many new products in our pipeline based on the new technologies introduced in iPhone 3.0 and the new iPhone 3GS!

 

Stay tuned for another great year, and we thank all our customers for making this year such a great hit for all of us at Future Apps.
