About
GRoink came to life as an iPhone application because of a collaborative effort between three companies
interested in finding out how hard it would be to build an iPhone application.
- Publigence provides consultancy services
focused on strategic product management, usability and user experience design and the translation of technology
knowledge into human language. Because most technology could be so much simpler.
- SampleSumo combines music software development,
intelligent audio processing, web technologies and hands-on experience with music creation tools to build
innovative solutions for end-users (musicians, gamers, producers, ...) and media-industry companies.
- Big Boom offers creative services to transform how
people look at and interact with web sites, software applications, printed material and more. Conceptual
thinking and practical creative implementation are intertwined and reinforce each other to create big booms.
Price
GRoink is initially free to download, but requires an in-app purchase of $0.99 / 0.79€ to enable the full
set of images. This was important to us for a number of reasons:
- We spent a significant amount of time creating GRoink and we believe that merits some reward. The price
we ask isn't high - consider it a token of your appreciation.
- As we wrote GRoink to evaluate how hard the process was to create an iPhone App; asking money for it so
that we could evaluate that part of the process as well, was an important factor in this exercise.
- We have seen similar applications out there that use advertisements in the application to keep it free.
We believe displaying ads in an application for children should simply not be done; we hope
you appreciate that.
Should you feel GRoink isn't worth what we ask for it, you are of course free not to buy it. We will surely find
a way to console our signature pig...
