Buy The Track Identification Iphone & Ipod Touch App
This weekend and this weekend only we’ll be having a 30% off sale on the MyNature Animal Track app and the MyNature Tree Guide App. We’re having the sale to celebrate the update of the Tree Guide in which some technical issues were addressed. If you have been on the fence on picking up our nature apps no is the time to take advantage of this weekends special. Once Sunday evening August 29th rolls around we’ll be going back to the regular pricing of $6.99.
Happy Hiking !!
I’m finally happy to say that version 1.1 of the MyNature Tree app is ready for sale in the App Store. The MyNature Tree Guide is a identification tool for over 190 trees found across North America. Version 1.1 of our tree app addressed a crashing problem with use on the iPhone 4. We’ll be running some special free app give aways over the next few days through Twitter and our Natureguides page on Facebook. Happy Hiking !
I can finally say that the new build of the Tree Guide is complete and has been submitted to Apple earlier today. I’m fairly confident that they caught all the issues with the first version. The crashing issue with the iPhone 4 has been corrected. The programmers had also found several memory leaks that were also addressed. The approval process for Apple could take anywhere from 7 to 20 days to complete. Thank you for your patience and as always…. Happy Hiking !!
Received a new Binary on the Tree Guide this morning, so far so good. I need to check one more thing on Thursday morning with the programmer and if all is well on that end we should be all set to resubmit to Apple. I feel pretty good about this one but still keeping my fingers crossed. I also heard that the Animal Track update is just about ready also. That’s going to be a great update and I’m sure you’ll love it.
I think this is Binary number 3 to fix the Tree crashing problem. I rejected it again today. I don’t know if my programmers read my blog so I better play nice. I do give them credit, they weren’t the ones that built this app. So here I am throwing them into the middle of someone else’s written codes that weren’t written correctly and they have to find the errors. The good news is they have said they fixed the iPhone 4 crashing problem. I have to take their word on that since I myself only use and test on the iTouch. Unfortunately in correcting some problems some things got shuffled around other places in the app, luckily I found them before I approved this version. Also since it’s been so long trying to fix this I need to have them set this new build up so people can save their Field Journal notes before they delete the app and install the new build. I know if I don’t have this available for users that I will get hell from a few people. I’d rather get back to the positive reviews than put another app with problems back out.
If you were wondering who built the current app with all the bugs that would be a business called A-1 Technologies out of NYC. I’m so glad they responded to my emails on the crashing issue….not…. they didn’t even have the courtesy to do that. They started off good but went downhill fast and weren’t the experts they built themselves up to be. I would never get involved with them for app development or anything else for that matter. So if you can please be patient just a little longer the Tree app fix it’s coming. I just want to make sure there are no problems this time.
After several days of testing and checking the new binary of the Tree App I suggested to the programmers that they needed to do another correction that I was having trouble with on my iTouch. They have checked the new build on the iPhone 4.0 for the repeated crashing issue and have told me that has been corrected. One of you was kind enough to write down how the steps to make the app crash using the iPhone 4.0 and they could not repeat that procedure with the new build…. definitely great news. I should have a new build to look over this Thursday and I think we will be good to go after that. I can’t wait!!!
Today I received a new Binary to look over from my programmers. I’ll be checking it out all weekend for bugs and hopefully it is good to go on Monday for a resubmission to Apple. I have learned the Tree app does run quite differently on different devices. I rarely have had an issue with my iTouch however I understand the iPhone4 it repeatedly crashed. I do look forward to getting the issue straightened out as soon as possible. Once it is corrected 100% then I would love nothing better than to address some of the reviews that have been left. Thank you all (most of you) for your patience. Happy Hiking
MyNature Animal Tracks: The first comprehensive field guide to animal track identification available utilizing smart phone technology.
Today I spoke with our new programmer and he has identified the problem with the Tree app crashing. It seems the original programmer left some open code within the app that did not allow some tree images to re-size. The size of the images used in succession were making the app crash. I was given a tentative date of this Tuesday that the problem should be fixed. Once corrected it has to go back through Apple for the verification and approval process which means an added 4 to 14 days until the new debugged version is out. I will continue to update you as things progress and I would like to assure you that I can not wait to get this issue solved.
It’s come to our attention that there is an issue with the Tree app crashing. We would like to assure anyone who is experiencing a crashing problem that we are aware of it and trying to fix the problem as quickly as possible. There were some issues with crashes during the design process but we was assured they were resolved before the app was released. As we are finding out obviously that wasn’t the case and we have moved on to another programmer to resolve the issues. I appreciate your patience during this time and hopefully within a short time we will be back to having the best Tree ID app on the market.
