Jono David’s Jewish Geography App Free for 24 Hours
Posted by Ruth Ellen Gruber
Follow JewishJournal.com on 
The Japan-based photographer Jono David has used some of his thousands of images of Jewish heritage sites around the world to create a “Jewish Geography” game played via an ITunes app…. He has just let me know that the app can be downloaded for free—but just for 24 hours, from 7:00 p.m. Monday, April 16 to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 17, 2012, Japan Standard Time.
Here’s what Jono says:
Jewish Geography. You know the game. Or do you? Uniquely different than the familiar “Do you know so-and-so?” degrees of separation kibitzing, this fun and challenging app quiz game measures by how many degrees you’re separated from your own Jewish geographical knowledge. Challenge yourself or compete against friends and family. The more you play, the more you’ll know, and the fewer degrees you’ll be separated from Jewish Geography!
Game description, features, and device requirements @ http://www.JewishGeography.co/
Preview on YouTube (time: 00:00:38) http://youtu.be/d5N9Fl5T-hc
PURCHASE on iTUNES:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jewish-geography/id498428257?mt=8A fun product by JonoDavid LLC featuring the photography of Jono David from his HaChayim HaYehudim Jewish Photo Library (HHJPL).
Thank you, and happy Jewish Geography playing!
Jono
