**[UPDATE April 28th] Washem is now available in the Google Play Store for Android devices.**
**[UPDATE April 21th] Washem got rejected by apple: Read at the end about why Apple dismissed the app.**
In this post you can read on how it took me just over 26 hours and 30 minutes to submit my app idea to the AppStore.
The best ideas are about scratching your own itch, and that was exactly what my idea was about: helping my kids to wash their hands properly.
The result after 27,5 hours is Washem: an app that helps kids (and adults) to properly wash their hands.
About Washem
Washem is a small app that uses video animations (actually, it’s looping animated GIFs), and a countdown timer to guide kids (and adults) through the steps of PROPERLY washing their hands.
