We knew it was coming, we just didn’t know when! Austria and Germany now have access “paid” apps in the adroid market.
How do I know? Well, I just checked Froogloid’s google checkout account for a2b and we have received sales from both Austria and Germany! 3 European countries now have paid apps support ~ UK, Austria, and Germany.
Hey everyone, I’ve been meaning to post about this for some time now but Chris P, Simmone, and I have been heads down lately with Key Ring and some other stuff. The good news is Key Ring is moving right along :) For those of you that downloaded a2b via the android market, you likely saw an email I sent last week explaining some of the new features. This post will expound upon on that email and will include screenshots. Enjoy :)
On a related note, thanks to everyone who provided positive feedback on the android market regarding the latest update. Your feedback is VERY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU!
Manually enter location. Select “save location” => “map” tab => menu => “manually enter location”.
GPS Settings. You can now configure GPS to automatically turn off when you exit the application. Go to the home screen => menu => “settings”
New Home Screen Background Graphic. We wanted more contrast between the save and find buttons and the background. Hopefully this new background will do the trick :)
Turn by Turn / Driving Directions. You’ll now have the option to navigate to your saved location using turn by directions. Unfortunately it’s against google’s terms of service to integrate turn by turn directly within a 3rd party application otherwise we would have a built a custom view. Nonetheless, google maps seamlessly integrate with a2b. Select “find location” => select the location you’d like to navigate to via the list => find “map” tab => menu => “Driving Directions”
Email Saved Location. Once you’ve saved a location you can share it with anyone you’d like via email. If you’ve taken a picture and/or created a free text note this will also be sent when emailing the location. Select “find location” => select the location you’d like to share via the list => find “map” tab = menu => “email saved location”
Update Menu. When you download an updated version of a2b you’ll now be able to reference what updates were made. Go to the home screen => menu => “updates”
Several UI Enhancements. Progress circles between screen transitions, pop up toast for playing audio, background color for find map tab distance, manage application description, and various other tweaks.
