I don't clear understand your question. The app works on iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad (Apple).

I think what he is trying to say is that iPhones/iPod Touch/iPads etc are not very common in India; not many people (especially students) have access to it!

So is there any other platform on which the software can be run?

e.g. Nokia - Symbian?

We've just crossed another milestone: this thread was viewed 50,000 times ! (Ok, maybe 5K are mine :))

By the way, we are working on 1.5.1 update and something interesting will be added. It's still too early to say how much time it's going to take, but we do our best to finish it in a month.

Another thing that we are going to add in 1.5.1 update is a very useful tool for non-native English speakers - word translation on-a-fly (integration with Google's dictionary). More screenshots and info will be available closer to 1.5.1 release.

Best,
Walker

We are close to include GMAT Club's flashcards to iPhone/iPad apps (GMAT ToolKit and GMAT Club). So, soon you will have an easy and convenient way to work with the flashcards.

Quick update on what's going on in our innovation Lab.
It's the first time we break our rule of <1-month update. For 1.5 years in the AppStore we were updating the app 28 times. The reason why we made a stop is that some essential improvements are on the way and they take time. I guess it's going to take 3-4 weeks to finish all we have started. I told about some of them earlier such as flashcards and integration of google's dictionary but another one is not less essential and I would like to keep a small secret here. :)

Please, keep informing us on what you think about the app and how could we improve it.

Best,
Walker

Looks like a fantabulous suite of apps. Many thanks are in order.

Is there any way those of us who don't have iPods / iPads / iPhones can use? Say, perhaps on a PC, Android phone, Windows phone etc?

We are almost done with 1.6.0 update and it's time to show a couple of screenshots. I start with Google dictionary integration that allows to translate words form questions to your native language or look for explanation in English. It will be extremely useful for non-native English speakers.

That would be awesome, because I am and Android fan (wouldnt leave it for Apple, ever) and I have searched countless times for an App that would allow me to spend less time playing angry birds, and more time studying for GMAT. lol

Let's continue to reveal what to expect in GMAT ToolKit 1.6.0.
After Kritzer's comment about the app: "Worked as an excellent error log for the official books. Great collection of resources. I wish I could filter the OG by subject or tag, though.", we've added tag search in the Book tool. Just enter a tag or tags and you will get list of all questions within one section. Here is a screenshot:

Finally flashcards come to GMAT ToolKit (1.6.0 update, iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone)!

We worked hard to make them smooth and simple. All movements/animation are close to natural (flipping and moving) and there is only one button "I know" to make your experience with flashcards simple and straightforward. If you tap "I know", the probability of appearance of the flashcard decreases. No right/wrong/guess buttons that might confuse you - just one simple button and everything else will be done by the app. Not all GMAT Club's flashcards will be available in 1.6.0 but we are going to add all of them in next updates.

There is also a dozen of other small fixes/improvements (Thank you for feedback!) and one very big news is still waiting its time to be announced :)
