We have released an update to Keep Your Word, that assures full Snow Leopard compatibility.
You can download it from this link, or just open keep Your Word and let it update itself.
And, please, let us know if you find any issue that went under our radar.
On Monday, the bambooapps crew will jump onto a train that will take us from Hong Kong to Beijing for a week of urban enjoyment and leisure, that will include visits to landmarks like the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, and a few selected bars.
We will not be able to check our email, but we will answer all our messages as soon as we come back to our headquarters on August 16th.
It’s that time of the year again.

Keep Your Word 1.6, the new update to our vocabulary and flash cards trainer, is available. You can read the release notes here, but, in short, it adds a new exercise mode, a new study mode, and some much needed usability and compatibility improvements.
You can download a 30 days fully functional trial version from the product page.
The next update to Keep Your Word, our vocabulary and flashcards trainer is almost done.
These are some of the new features:
A new exercise mode
Keep Your Word will (kindly) ask you to write the translation of a given collection of words, evaluating and tracking your performance.
A new way to review your words
The Words Carousel is a panel that can be placed on top of any other window, and that lets you review your words while working on any other task.
More layout options
A new column in the words list shows the “score” a measure of how well you know a word. Also, you can show or hide the words count in the source list.
There are some bugfixes, some usability improvements, a new help file, and some more other features that we hope you will enjoy.
Oh, and if you want to take an early look at this new release, please let us know.
Another nice review of Keep Your Word, this time by the folks behind iLoveMacApps, a blog dedicated to review Mac OS X applications, and definitely a good read.
The veredict? They like it, although they point out one the application’s weakest points: the need to bring more content to wordsparade.com (we are working on it, by the way)
Vous et Votre Mac, a magazine now in press stands in France, Belgium and Switzerland, publishes a comparison between Keep Your Word, our vocabulary and flashcards trainer, and Mental Case.
Although I think that comparing these two application is a little bit unfair for both of them, as the core functionality and workflow are not exactly the same, it is good to see how KYW gains some apreciation.
¿The verdict? Keep Your Word gets four stars.
Here comes another update to Keep Your Word, the Mac OS X and iPhone vocabulary and flashcards application.
The release notes are here, but long story short, the main new features are:
This is a free update. Grab it!
This time, at Mac App Reviews. And it seems that they do not like it too much. Ouch!
Although I do not agree with some of their comments, they also rise some valid points.
FNDMobile, the black and white development database and clock for the iPhone, has been updated.
This is going to be the last “english-only” version. A Spanish localization has been uploaded to the AppStore and is waiting for approval, and we are working on the German localization as well.
If you want to see FNDMobile in your language, please let us know!.
