I understand that 2 more apps are going to be added. I don't know what they are but I am hoping for "moves in the field" & "dance".

Dance was already added!  Everything I'm reading says 12 apps and they are at 12 now.  I can't find anything specific.

The ibook "Counter Intelligence" sounds interesting.

The apps are only for the Basic Skills "tracks."  Moves in the Field isn't a standalone track within the Basic Skills program, although the lower-level Moves patterns are scattered through the Freeskate levels.  

It would be great if they were to create an app for the Moves patterns, but given the history of Moves videos, someone would contest them immediately, saying they weren't up to test standard.

I downloaded the dance app a few minutes ago. It is worth 2 bucks to me, all of the patterns are shown and a sample of the dance with music is there somebody else needs a refresher.

It's not that I would ever forget a pattern or step......really, I don't need it for myself...it's for somebody else..

Hope the app is coming to Android at some point. More reviews are greatly appreciated!

I got dd the artistry in motion app because she doesn't have this class offered locally.  It is really...lame.  There are 4 -5 videos in each of the 4 levels.  It really was a waste of 1.99.  Coaches have no fear - this can not replace anyone.  She will never use it. 

She LOVES Sk8 Sport though.  A great use of 19.99!  As much info as a book!  The videos are sharp with straight forward instruction.  Little fun games.  Some areas need to be fleshed out some, but a solid resource.
