I read on the ANG email list that Sandy Arthur's new book, Shapes of Needlepoint, is now available for download as a smart phone app. It looks like it is available from iTunes and from Sandy's website for iPhones (not Android phones) and iPads. It works for some iPod Touches also. I would email the author if you have a 3rd generation iPod Touch but the 4th generation Touch probably works with this. Check to see if your device is running OS 4.2 before you pay for this.

UPDATE: I've heard from folks who use this on their iPads. They say it runs, but you have to click on 2X to resize it and it doesn't look as good on iPads as it does on iPhones. Just so you know....

Resolution on Sandy's is the same quality as Ruth's apps and Suzy's app --- on the iPad, in other words poor when the image is enlarged. None of them have been customized for the iPad, so they do not rotate when you turn your device. It would be so lovely to have an upgrade.
Thanks for the information, Randi! It is greatly appreciated.
