Two Apps: Riidaa and TangoGo

It actually feels weird to finish two side projects in quick succession, but here we are - I've recently launched two iOS apps and they are both now available on the App Store:

Riidaa I had been looking for a simple PDF/Text reader app on the app store and was bothered that they were all based on in-app purchases or subscriptions. I simply want to read PDFs with some sort of bookmarking capability, not get into a long-term relationship with the developer. So at the end, I wrote my own. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases. No tracking. No bullshit. It keeps one bookmark for each document you open, so it can remember your progress, but nothing is ever shared with anyone.

TangoGo If you believe you can quickly create words out of random letters and you thrive under time pressure, TangoGo is for you. Pick the letters that create words with high letter scores (scores are based on traditional letter games) and the score increase also extends the available time. A fun game to waste a few minutes while waiting for the bus.
