iVolution Word Game

We're back, Baby! Finally updated our game to work on the newer 64-bit devices. Sorry it took so ridiculously long.

Corrected the point value on the letter V to 9 points.

Added links to our other word games.

**Update 1.30**

Changes to fix (fingers crossed) the issue of scores/words getting assigned to the wrong player during some Online Classic matches.

The purple "Check" button can now only be pressed 1 time at the end of turns of Online matches.

Please let us know about any problems you uncover. Tap the "Help" button on the starting screen, then tap the "Email Us" button.

Thanks,
Jay & Julia

*****DICTIONARY*************
As for the dictionary not working under iOS 7, here is what you need to do:

1) Press the dictionary button in iVolution.

2) Tap the blue word "Manage" on the lower left of the pop up screen.

3) Download either (or both) the "New Oxford American Dictionary" or "Oxford Dictionary of English" by tap on the Cloud icon to the right of option. For some unknown reason, the "Apple Dictionary" does not work!

4) After the dictionary downloads, tap the blue arrow "<" on the top left of the screen.

5) Tap the word "Done" on the top right of the screen. The next time you use the dictionary button, you will now see a definition.

Developer Update 6_4_2013
*********
We are aware of an additional crash bug that can occur when taking your turn in an online match. We have submitted the fix to Apple and it should be available for download in about 1 week.

*******************************************
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 5_31_2013

At long last, I have found and fixed the nasty crash bug that happens after selecting a new word seed!! The update will hopefully be available for download in about 1 week.

In the meanwhile, please use this workaround: After you select a new word seed ONLY touch the purple check button. Do not touch the blue semi-transparent graphic with the word iVolution on it that slides up and covers the bottom keyboard letter tiles. Touching this "keyboard cover" area on the screen after selecting a new word seed will cause the app to abruptly shut down.

Thanks so much for your patience and support.
