SenGram - Sentence Diagramming

April 24, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - We have added 64-bit support, so those "This app will slow down your computer" warnings should be gone, for good. - Also, we have shortened the app's name, and added a shiny new icon to mark the occasion. - Have fun! We love hearing all your fabulous stories about how you have used it at your schools and home-schools.

- Adjusted the display proportions of the topic guides. The topic guides are now much more readable. - Remember to take a look at the 60 new puzzles in the 'verbals' section.

- New level with over 60 (!) new puzzles is available for purchase from the 'SenGram Store'. This new level covers: infinitives, gerunds and participles. The SenGram Store is found by clicking the 'Buy' button in the main puzzle list. - We believe that around 80% of iOS users are already using iOS 7. The SenGram interface has therefore been updated to iOS 7. As a consequence, iOS 7 is now a minimum requirement.

By popular demand, we have added puzzle-completion tracking. You will now know which puzzles you completed successfully (a 'trophy' image), which puzzles you failed to answer (a 'bomb' image) and in respect of which puzzles you peeked at the answer (a 'life buoy' image). Your original result will be tracked even if you return to the puzzle again. You can, of course, press a button on the first screen and remove all tracking information. In addition, we have added some improved support for screen rotation. Finally, thank you to our customers in Japan who have been spreading the word about SenGram.

This release has some relatively minor improvements: - Improved app screen rotation performance. - addition of a 'rate this version' reminder feature. Your continuing support is appreciated. - some minor interface/speed improvements.

Major upgrade! * Level 2 has been released – 90 new puzzles + topic guides on adverb clauses, adjective clauses and noun clauses! * 'SenGram Maker' has been released on the Mac app store! SenGram Maker allows anyone to create SenGram puzzles. If you have a Mac, please download SenGram Maker and place your puzzles online (and let us know about them). * The 'about' section on SenGram's front page has a link to a website which demonstrates how SenGram puzzles you create with SenGram Maker can be placed on the web for others to enjoy. * While solving a puzzle, remember to use the 'Word Lookup' feature to learn what function a word serves in our sentence, and to learn about other ways the word can be used. * If you enjoy SenGram yourself and/or are pleased with how your students are using this application, please let others know. The more that people purchase and enjoy SenGram, the greater our incentive to continue developing it!
