> This is my first iOS app release.

Wow! Color me very impressed. Not only is the app itself fluid, functional, and well-designed, but I'm sure it's the first of many you'll be releasing on iOS.

If you don't mind my asking: what resources did you use to learn iOS development? How long did creating this app take you?

Furthermore, what did you use for the main webpage? It's very well-designed--I probably wouldn't have clicked-through, otherwise.

I haven't had a chance to use the app yet, but I'll let you know when I do :)

Haha, thanks! I watched the WWDC sessions to learn about the frameworks, features and see the intricacies of Interface Builder. And then spent a lot of time in iOS developer docs, stackoverflow, and cocoacontrols.com.

For the website, it was designed in photoshop, and coded using Zurb Foundations, SASS and Skrollr.js.

I'll be doing a post on how I got started on iOS and lessons I learnt to help others get ramped up quickly. So look for that in the next few weeks!

Awesome, thank you!
