+
+Since we released the Android app we've had dozens of folks asking if there is a version for iOS, and our answer has
+always been, "No, we don't have any developers who have iOS devices and can write iOS apps. Then, a few months ago
+we were approached by Daniel Borges Ferreira da Silva, who is an OpenLP user and develops iOS apps, who offered to
+develop an iOS remote just like our Android remote.
+
+Daniel worked hard on planning the app, wrote out workflows, mocked up screens, designed logos, and eventually had an
+app to show for it all. After that he started a beta programme to make sure he hadn't created any devastating bugs.
+
+After a very successful beta programme, I am proud to announce the public release of the OpenLP Remote for iOS. We've
+aimed for feature parity between the iOS and Android apps, so if you find a feature on one and not the other, please
+let us know so that we can fix that.
+
+At the moment, the OpenLP Remote for iOS is not adapted for iPad, but this is currently in development.
+
+We would like to extend a huge thank you to Daniel for stepping up and volunteering to take on the task of developing
+this app. Daniel spent time and money designing and creating a smooth user experience. His passion, expertise and
+attention to detail shine through this fantastic app.
