The B-Rhymes Pro iPhone app has just been released on the app store.

The most frequent request I get from users of the standard B-Rhymes iPhone app is to make it not require internet access so that you can find rhymes on your iPod Touch, or when you have no service etc. So I had to do it. I managed to figure out how to fit these millions of rhymes into a reasonably sized app. On top of that I threw in full rhymes in addition to slant rhymes. This adds millions more rhymes, sometimes thousands for a single word (eg. words ending in -tion).

It was hard but I found the way, involving lots of data compression, and it has arrived in the app store a slender 42MB. OTOH, that’s 42 million bytes of rhymes.

All this for $2.99, which I hope I’ve convinced you is a deal.

The B-Rhymes Android app just hit 10,000 downloads.

B-Rhymes Android app - 10k downloads

The B-Rhymes iPhone app is up to ~12,200 downloads. From server logs, I can see that on any given day, there are about 500 different people using the mobile apps. Now whenever anyone says “Who would want words that almost rhyme.” I say there’s at least 20,000 people, also you need to listen to more hip-hop.
