My First App, AU all N, Now Live In The iTunes App Store

I'm very happy to announce my first app on the iOS platform just went live on the iTunes App Store!  The app is called AU all N, and it's an inside look at Auburn University, with a focus on its football program.

This was my first attempt at creating an app and learning the development process.  Still excited from Auburn's National Championship victory last month, I decided to build the kind of app I would like to have as a fan.  If you enjoy college football, you'll likely appreciate this app's overall vision.

You can download the app here.  Full description of AU all N below.

AUBURN all N:  An App for the AU Family

The all N app serves to put your favorite things about Auburn in your pocket.  Independently crafted by an Auburn alumnus, all N is a curated look at the university and its football program.

AU all N consists of four areas with the following features:

     - Auburn Photos

     - The War Eagle Legend

     - Music of Jordan-Hare Stadium
