The most beautiful app in the app store?*

Short update: The Goddess Tarot iPhone app is ready to go, and has been submitted to Apple for approval. Generally speaking, it takes about a week to ten days to get a response. Right now, I’m a bundle of nerves as I wait to hear back. Frankly, it’s a bit like publishing, except that the likelihood of being approved by Apple is far higher than the probability of getting a book offer from an unsolicited submission.

Nonetheless, it’s easy to obsess over What May Go Wrong in these situations. This is despite the fact that I did everything I could to create a great app:

~ I studied Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines to the nth degree.

~ Hired a good developer to code it;

~ Worked and worked and worked;

~ And, most of all, tried to make something really special and beautiful that people would want to have on their iPhones and iPod Touch.

In the meantime, I’m working on getting ready for the app launch, which is set for August 1, 2009. As part of my preparations, here’s a video showcasing the many properties of The Goddess Tarot app. The music is by Altri Stromenti from an album entitled Italian Music of the 17th Century. Enjoy!

(*My developer suggested that I position The Goddess Tarot app as the most beautiful app in the App Store. I hope it will be!)
