i've updated Babble Expert with a new version. It works on a Mac now (need someone to test for me) and also workes with the Self Serve clues.
2:20 am

Spread the word. To get it - there are links on the right of the Self Serve Clues page.

Hi Lickety - so now I have 3 downloads - what next
2:28 am
licketySplitAUS
Only need to download it once. Then you have to run it. You may need to Trust it though - as Windows prompts that
2:28 am
licketySplitAUS
It'll install like any other program
2:29 am
licketySplitAUS
I haven't tested the MAC version yet - so if someone installs and runs it, please let me know how it goes

@LicketySplitAUS. I was able to download the Mac app, push it from downloads to the apps folder, but I couldn't open it. The error message was "Apple could not verify "Babble Expert" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy". The only two options were "done" and "move to trash".
1:13 pm
MollyL
Try emailing Lickety, he doesn't always read here.
1:19 pm
hokie carla
you can bypass it, parisla. I have had to before. there are several steps so might be easier to google "mac won't download due to apple not being able to verify". that brought up the steps for me.
1:21 pm
hokie carla
if that doesn't bring them up and you want more help, I can post on my profile later how to or you can email me in the address in my profile. gotta run now for golf!
