We have developed an iPhone/iTouch version, and have submitted it to Apple for approval (1/29/10). They say that 98% take 7 days for approval. Since this is a more sophisticated program than the simple games, it may take longer. It should work on the new iPad, but we haven’t tested that yet.
As currently designed, the iPhone Editions will come with a default set of 5 tools (different for each Edition), and licensed laptop users can add additional tools by syncing. Look under the Solutions/iPhone Version to see screenshots.
We’ve searched the Apple App store and there is nothing even remotely as advanced or easy to use. You can add comments, change observees during a single observation, email reports with graphs right from the iPhone. Syncing to the computer version adds tools, more report types, uploading of classrooms, etc.
All four Editions are approved and available on the iTunes App store. These will run on the iPhone and iTouch. The iTouch is the same as an iPhone but without the phone capabilities or contract. Both work with Windows as well as Macs.
We are currently in the process of adding two new templates for creating tools in all the advanced Editions of eCOVE. These will add an entirely new dimension to eCOVE. Stay tuned…..
