Thanks guys,

FYI - there is a GMAT Prep application for the Itouch that you can buy on Itunes for around 5 to 10 bucks, but they dont explain the answers very well, if at all. This application would be great......

I have the first Alpha/beta installed on my iPod and here is the initial feedback - comments are welcome.

1. Answer choices are not clearly marked and it is a bit hard to him them with a finger so close to the edge

2. Need a summary page that would summarize number of questions right/wrong.

3. The app should remember answer choices

4. App should restart after the call and be on pause during the call

5. Links to the forum threads for each question

6. Include ability to have mini tests that could be defined by user (15 mins, 30, 45, 60, 75)

Some other minor features....

Question for beta-testers:

We have a lot of buttons at a question view. To avoid shrinking space for question text I show "add bookmark"/"Explanation" buttons only after answering the question. Nevertheless, it is not a great idea. What do you think, guys, if we get rid of tabs "Practice"/"Forum links"/"Info", add new line for buttons making them larger (at least wider) and add possibility to click "Forum links" and "Info" to main view of "Practice"?

P.S. Irajeevsingh, thank for idea to work with google spreadsheets.

By the way, Apple will introduce new version of OS 3.0. It will be possible to add local store to the application. So, users can make their purchases of additional question sets in the application. We don't need free/paid application and it is possible to sell GMATClubs test one by one.

I think this is a workable/acceptable solution as Forum Links and info are not that important of buttons, but if we add another button for "Results" or Summary, then it may be valuable to have it there. Perhaps we can have "Add Bookmark", "Explanation", "Discuss", and "More..."

The "More..." button could have the menu links that would not be visible otherwise. What do you think?

I have updated the spreadsheet with comments.
I agree we should have a diff set of footer while questions are being displayed than landing page.

Thanks

I know you are still working on this app, but has anyone thought about porting this SW for an Android app? There will be multiple companies offering Android products in the the near future.

Well, we are close to launching the application - any thoughts about a name?

How about "GMAT Tests To Go" ?
