Make your Grade with Grades. Exclusive Preview and Giveaway.

This afternoon was full of mystery and intrigue. Adventure and possibilities. Mexican and and iPhone-app’ness. Over fine Spanish cuisine, I met with iPhone developer Jeremy Olson (@jerols on Twitter – if you aren’t following him you should) who runs a great blog over at Tapity.

For a few hours, we discussed all things iPhone and iPad, covering everything from marketing, to design, to an app I’d like to share with you all today. Students rejoice, because the age old question of, “What do I need to make on my test to get an A?” has finally ben answered.

Meet Grades.

With this sneak peek comes more than just another iPhone application. While the concept and implementation seems simple enough, the sheer amount of visual depth is something that has to be seen in person. There’s just a lot of striking details that I really appreciated all throughout the app, and without giving away any secrets, let’s just say you’re bound to find a hidden gem or two. It’s beautiful. It’s functional. It’s a must have application for students that’s not out yet, but it’s coming soon.

Perhaps I’ve wetted your whistle, but what if I told you we’re giving away three copies before this app even makes its debut? By following the rules below, you can win this application on launch day. There’s not a better way to make an intro, is there?
