Today geoSpark went into "In Review" status with Apple. This means they and/or their automatic systems are looking at the game for issues. If all goes well it should be approved soon.
So, starting this forum to get ready for the release. I'll be adding a geoSpark page to the web site very soon as well.

You should follow me on twitter here!
Awesome! Hope it gets approved soon :D
Oh, and hi everyone. I'm Natalia from Imangi Studios, David's collaborator on geoSpark.
geoSpark was Approved (quite suddenly) today!
Here is the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geospark/id337662397?mt=8
I am a little behind the curve on getting the web page up for it. It got approved very quickly.

The game is cool but I think it would be much better if there was a leaderboard in game, not in Feint, because, for example I play these games in my class with friends and we want to be on top of the list, but first we need a game with a list of best players :P So if there would be a possibility to to put your nick and save your score after the game and see top 10 I will be pleased :)
Sry for my English, I'm from Poland :)
But that's exactly what OpenFeint allows you to do, right?

No exactly. Only two of my friends have iphones and they don't use Feint, me either. To look on the leaderboard you need wi-fi network. There's only your score and some other people, but I don't want to see them but just scores that was maked by my friends. Sometimes i play game and make the best score, next time my friend wants to beat me and he plays on the same ipod. Feint can't show which one of my mates have played, and what score he has, and i think this is more important than global leaderboard, not just for me. :)
So . . . multiple scores tracked by multiple people on a single iPhone.
My wife was asking about this, too. Unless it was somehow implemented into the game itself, I don't know that openfeint supports it. The only way I could think would be to create multiple openfeint accounts for your friends, and even then it'd be a pain in the butt to switch users. But then again you don't have wifi in class apparently so that wouldn't work, either.
I guess what you'd need would be an old-school arcade style "enter your inititials" leaderboard? That would grow VERY old at the end of each game. If it were implemented, I would certainly want the option to turn it off.
Honestly, though, because of all of the things that openfeint DOES do, I find it hard to believe that a local leaderboard would be implemented in an update.
So . . . looks like you may just have to start paying attention in class
You and your friends could just write down your high scores . . . at least then it'll look like you're taking notes.
