This game is pretty simple but still challenging. You start with a ball and some different shapes and use the shapes to get the ball to the flag. Sounds simple, but here’s the catch: The app was developed by a 14 year old in 8th grade. The app is free for iPhone & iPad and has a few more levels that can be purchased for $0.99. What’s even more amazing is that it was once the most downloaded free app in the App Store. Read More

Follow him on Twitter In late 2010, Apple approved 14-year-old Robert Nay’s app, Bubble Ball, for publishing on the App Store, where it quickly racked up 2 million users and, for a short while, even wrested the ever-popular Angry Birds from its perch at the top of the download charts. It’s a staggering achievement for a young teen with no formal programming experience -– never mind education. No skills. Nada. Zip. Nay used an application called Corona that essentially allows users to build smartphone apps using a graphical interface, eliminating the need of any coding skills. He’s a pioneering user of the next generation of platform dependencies — innovations upon which further innovations can be built. The term “platform dependency,” referring to products and services that Read More

By Blake Grundman on January 19th, 2011 We may have finally located Cliffy B's long rumored illegitimate offspring! Thinking back as far as I can remember, I can’t even begin to recall a time where Angry Birds were not dominating the top position on all of the App Store’s Top 25 Lists.  Regardless of whether you prefer the free or full version, it is safe to assume that is has graced the home page of virtually every iOS device in existence.  For this simple reason, the application has had a choke-hold on the lists seemingly forever.  Well, at least that was the case until last Thursday. On that fateful day in January, a seemingly unknown app by the name of Bubble Ball rocketed to the top of the Free App List, bouncing Angry Birds Seasons Free from atop its lofty post.  For any developer this would be a feat of momentous Read More

Knocking a king off the throne has never been an easy feat, and in the app world, Angry Birds was that king. Angry Birds has spawned a series of toys, videos and games and it was our top pick for iOS apps in 2010. It held the number one spot for free games in the iTunes App Store for quite some time, but now it has been dethroned by Bubble Ball, an app created by 14-year-old Robert Nay of Spanish Fork, Utah. Talk about a David vs. Goliath tale. ABC News reports: “I was pretty astonished,” Nay said about the game’s success. “When I released it, I didn’t think it would do so well.” Nay’s mother, Kari Nay, said that like most young teenagers, Robert and his friends enjoy playing games on their iPods. But Robert started building a game of his own after a few friends suggested he give it Read More

Posted 01/17/2011 at 6:14am | by J.R. Bookwalter Don’t worry, Rovio -- your spot at the top of the paid iPhone apps chart is secure for now. But that free version of Angry Birds? Not so much, thanks to Bubble Ball, the work of a 14-year-old eighth grader from Utah. All Things Digital’s Mobilized blog is reporting on the newfound success of App Store developer Robert Nay, whose Bubble Ball game released on December 29 has already toppled even the mighty Angry Birds -- at least on the free app chart. The real surprise here is that Nay is a mere 14 years old. According to Mobilized’s Ina Fried, Bubble Ball is a physics simulator game created by the eighth grader which “challenges players to use objects and gravity to guide a ball to its destination.” Nay developed the app over a couple of months (presumably not during school hours) and Read More
