We are really excited to have recently released the update to Felt Board app for the iPad. We are very grateful to our friends and colleagues who have helped us beta test the app and also for reviewers, educators and parents who have come forward with suggestions over the past year for improvements to the app. Large app updates can be a lengthy process, and we really appreciate your patience and support.
We are also extremely grateful for the new and updated reviews of the app in iTunes. This helps tremendously!!!
