Lisbon, Portugal – Lisbon based developer, Jorge O’Neill has announced that, to celebrate the Holiday Season, Namer – The Origin of Names 2.0 is now available for purchase on the App Store at 50% of the regular price. In the easiest and simplest way possible, ‘Namer – The Origin of Names’ allows the user to find, save and share the origin and meaning of personal names. Version 2.0 has been completely redesigned to take advantage of iOS7’s new look and architecture, while still backward compatible with older system
Several Apps where already available on the App Store, that showed a list of personal names and some sort of descriptions. However, most seemed to have a combination of blunt interfaces, sparse or inaccurate name descriptions, or tons of non-sense names just for bragging rights of the sheer number of names provided. This lack of good Apps available in its category was seen by the App development team as a great opportunity for the development of ‘Namer – The Origin of Names’.
“I believe that this kind of ‘single task’ mobile App, has to do what it does in the quickest and simplest way possible, at the risk of loosing the user’s attention and interest” says Jorge O’Neill, the Lead Developer in this project. “It should also be pleasant to use: it should be aesthetically appealing and provide full functionality without requiring from the user any additional learning than what is needed to operate the device where the App is installed”.
With that in mind, ‘Namer – The Origin of Names’ was developed with the goal of making the simple tasks of finding, viewing, storing and sharing meaningful name descriptions, as simple and enjoyable as possible. The greatest relevance and dedication however was given to content. An accurate and meaningful name origin/meaning database was built by researching several different sources.
Version 2.0 released today further enhances the look and feel of the App, by providing a completely new interface design that takes advantage of iOS 7’s new look and architecture, while still maintaining the backward compatibility with older systems
