Announcing Orchid Album for Mac

“Orchid

After releasing Orchid Album on the iOS App Store in 2014, and Orchid Album for PC last year, I continue to get emails asking when the Mac version will be available. I’d initially thought the Mac market was too small to support an orchid collection app, hence my focus on the PC version. However, if your emails are any guide, it seems like there’s decent demand for a Mac version.

Well, today I’m pleased to announce my plans to bring Orchid Album to the Mac!

The app will contain the same features as the PC version, including transferring your database to and from the iOS version via WiFi. Like the PC version, I plan to support multiple languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. I’m not sure yet whether I’ll release it on the Mac App Store, or only direct via my website. Please let me know if not having a Mac App Store version is a deal-breaker for you.

Orchid Album for PC Preview

Track your orchid collection on your Windows PC – Coming Soon!

A few months back I announced my plans to bring my popular iOS app, Orchid Album, to the Windows platform. Development is progressing nicely, so I thought I’d give you a quick peek at the progress so far.

The PC version includes most of the same features as the iOS app, with the addition of printing, enhanced search capabilities, and data transfer to and from the iOS version over WiFi. The app will be localized into all the languages supported by the iOS app, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.

To use Orchid Album for PC, you’ll need a Windows PC with a version of Windows from XP up through Windows 10.

I’m planning to release Orchid Album for PC for direct sale via my website. It’ll be available for download as a free trial version, with similar limitations to the Lite iOS version. The full feature-set can be unlocked via purchase.

I don’t yet have a firm release date, but I’m aiming for the first Beta version to be available by the end of 2015.
