Hi Walker,

I can't wait to try out this app. I am actually going to buy an iPad very soon and the GMAT ToolKit will be my first app on it.
Do you guys have stats about how many you sold total/ over time / by version?
Any way to know whether people use it on 1/ iPhone 2/ipod Touch 3/ iPad 4/a combination of those?

Can you actually 'sync' the data (scores, history of tests results, etc...) between multiple devices?

I use it on the iPad more frequently, in combination with the Bamboo stylus on the scratchboard that is part of any in-app ebook or OG tracker.

You can manually sync your data between devices, if you email yourself the raw data (option easy available within the trackers). You then copy paste into the app. It's not automatic, but it's easy enough IMHO.

I also just realized the great value of the timer. If I wanna do Sackmann's questions, I can use the app's timer to keep track of those questions, or any other questions from other books.

As for the usefulness on the iPhone: it's nice to have your MGMAT ebooks available anywhere you are. I have my iPhone with me more frequently than the iPad. The game is nice for on-the-way-practice and the hard quant questions are good too, though I prefer using the iPad's scratchboard (bigger). If you wanna practice on the iPhone I highly recommend MGMAT's free flashcards, they don't require any heavy sketches / calculations that would require a scratchboard. The questions are of very good quality and you can track your progress / practice different content areas etc.

Hi Greg,

We keep only general stats and what I know for sure that GMAT Toolkit is the best selling GMAT prep app over 2 years (it's true). People use it on different devices but recently we have started to move away from supporting old iOS versions. Currently the app requires iOS 4.2 or later and we going to keep 4.2 as the least supported iOS for awhile. (roughly 98% of all active iOS devices use >=4.x iOS and 79% - >=5.0 iOS).

Yes, you can transfer data between devices. Now, it requires some manual work but we are working on version 2.0 that will allow you to synchronize data seamlessly between devices.

Best,
Walker

ADDED: Thanks Jkf

Heads-up: Apple is still reviewing the 1.6.14 update. I hope the update will be approved tomorrow or in a few days.

Yes, GMAT ToolKit 1.6.14 is available for download.

Now you can work on particular questions in the OG Traker tool. For example, if you in the search field enter "1, 5, 12, 16, 22, 26", only those questions will be visible and you don't need to jump over questions you don't want to answer. It's particularly useful together with MGMAT books or any other books that have references to the OG guides. Thanks bgpower for the suggestion!

Couple of questions...

1) Do you still need to purchase the Manhattan GMAT e-books if your already have purchased them (through a course, for example)?

2) Under Practice, I chose to scan in more questions from the Club. In te end, it appears that around 500 more questions were loaded. Does that seems right? It did seem to scan up to 400-500 and then drop back down to around 200 a couple of times.

1) I had the same question a while ago, and MGMAT told me that this is not possible. I ended up selling my hardcopy books and then I purchased the ebooks within the app.

2) I think you have to do a number of questions until you can download new ones.

1) We asked MGMAT about that and unfortunately you can't get e-books for free even if you already have them through other channels.

2) The app keeps no more than 100-125 unanswered questions of each type downloaded from the forum. As you progress through them, you will be able to get more (up to 3000-4000).

Thanks,
Walker

Hi All,

We have good news for those of you who use Android-based devices. Although I'm personally not a big fun of Android (all these differences between devices such as different screen sizes just drive me crazy). After numerous posts like "When will I get GMAT ToolKit for Android?" we finally have found a great developer who is going to work full-time on porting GMAT ToolKit. Instead of porting all functions (it can take a lot of time and I think it's not going to happen this year) we are going to start with the most important tool - the Practice tool. So, wish us luck :)

By the way, GMAT ToolKit 2.0 that we are working on will be able to synchronize data between not only iOS devices but also Android devices.

Best,
Walker

Hi All,

Our Flashcards app is featured this morning #3 in the What's hot (Business, iPad) list in iTunes!

The app (Flashcards [+]) is also one of the built-in tools in GMAT ToolKit.

Dear walker,

Thank you for the wonderful app. I am starting to use it for my GMAT prep. I love everything, and for my starting point, the flash card is used most. I have one question/request: Is it possible that in the new update you provide a way to import flash card from a text file created on a computer/laptop, which is usually faster than typing directly on any iDevice.

Thank

Hi AnnB,

Thanks for your words and great idea!
Unfortunately you can't import flashcards directly to the app in txt format right now. At the same time there is a way around it: you can import txt data to quizlet.com or use quizlet.com to create a custom deck on a computer/laptop and then export to the app (using search by name).

Best,
Walker
