Degels App


Finally, we have done it!  After several failed times in the last five years trying to develop an app and have it approved by  the Apple developers to post it in the App Store,  I can finally say we made it!

This app that we are officially launching in February 2013, took us approximately four months to develop. It’s called “Degels”. The word degel actually means flag in Hebrew. The “S” at the end is  the word in plural in English. Degels is an educational and entertainment app. Is a very basic game where you paint all the flags of the world. The app is completely free and is now available in the AppStore  Check it out!


Here is how it works!

Below is the menu that shows the flags distribution. You can select one or more continents to play. The screen shot is in Spanish, but the game is available in English, Hebrew, and French. After you select the continent, select the level of difficulty and if you need, the Help menu.  With the Help menu the name of the country appears at the top and the uncolor flag. If you don’t select the help it will appear as a small picture with the silhouette of the country in the background. Then just press GO!

Here is an example of how it will appear without the help:


And here is an example with the help:

                


Each flag will have thirty seconds to be drawn. Depending in how fast you complete it correctly you will make more points.
After you complete the whole set of flags your final score appears and the option to share it in the app’s website. The screen looks like this:

Some flags have a lot of details. For example, the Venezuelan flag has eight small and white stars in the middle. When this occurs you just place white circles, the system will read it. Also, white is a color! You actually have to use it too.  If not the system won’t capture it as correctly.


Here is our Profile in iTunes:



Degels is available to use in iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch,

Here is a small video playing Degels,


Please, give me your personal opinion on this app. I want to improve it and fix any mistakes.

Good luck playing!
