0.3.0 + Take 2 = 0.3.1

I got my test iPod Touch yesterday and was able to dig down the problem Locations v0.3.0 had within 30 minutes. Nice. So here you go: Locations 0.3.1 is now again supporting (as far as I know) all devices in all versions. Am I wrong? Let me know in the comments.

Locations 0.3.1 is available in STE repository which is part of the community sources available by default when installing the Installer.app. Please support Ste by donating for his hard work. Since I bought an iPod Touch especially for testing purposes, donations would also be very much appreciated!

Thank you and enjoy

Update: Sadly there are some (new) known issues with this release:

  • [new]: Main “Locations” list view is too short, the last location is only visible by half
  • [known but detected only now]: Search does not show any results, if the user switched on another search result page with a previous search
  • [new]: Massimo reported that adding more than 7 locations manually will result in the following message: “not pointing to a valid image” (not able to confirm that one yet). Just got another report that the issue is solved after the iPod rebooted.
  • [known]: Scrolling too much (in my case 99 times) in the widescreen mode crashes the app

Another update is in the air

I have a new version of my iPhone application “Locations” read, which introduces lots of big and small changes and enhancements :-)

This is in the air:

  • Compatible with iPhone >= 1.0.2 (tested 1.0.2 and 1.1.3), same should go for the iPod touch
  • Enhanced User Interface (e.g. smooth scrolling, but don’t scroll too fast!)
  • Auto update webcam images on startup
  • Save an image, send it via eMail or set it as wallpaper
  • Preview a webcam in search
  • Page through the search results
  • Search webcams near your current location! (Might require you to run LocateMe once after each reboot before using this feature in Locations). Thanks to Erica, Saurik and Hisper!
  • Performance enhancements (first run after update will take some time though!)
  • lots of minor bug fixes
  • A big thanks goes to three60guy for lots of testing (with 1.0.2 firmware)!

The new version 0.3.0 is available via Installer.app on STE’s repository (Thank you STE for your work and support!). Please donate to him and also to the developers of iPhone applications you use (even mine). Thank you.

Now, wanna see it? Check out the video after the break and lets here what you think in the comments…
