A bug fix release of Vegas Mate, 3.0.1, is now in the App Store. This update deals with a few problems that were discovered after 3.0 shipped. It also reduces memory consumption in a few places and includes re-worked input controllers for several of the trip related screens. It was nice to be able to [...]
Breastcancer.org’s “Breast Cancer Diagnosis Guide” is now available in the App Store. I worked on this app with Foraker Design, providing the programming end as well as helping design the UI. If you or someone you know is dealing with breast cancer, this app will provide you with valuable information to help you through a [...]
Happy to say that development of Vegas Mate 2.7 on the iPhone is wrapping up. This release includes a bunch of new stuff including full Retina Display support, better iOS 4 support (it is now required), an improved photo viewer, weather information and a lot more. It’s gonna be a great release. Hopefully it will [...]
Been awhile since I posted an update. Since then, Vegas Mate 2.6 for iPhone and version 1.2 for the iPad have both been released. The iPhone version especially was a long time coming and I’m happy to have it in the store. The next update will likely be a 2.6.1 release to support OS 4.0′s [...]
My partner in the Bombora project sent me a link to another app in the Weather category on iTunes. We’re constantly looking at what our peers are doing – some have some great ideas and there’s nothing wrong with being pushed forward by someone else’s solution to a coding or UI problem. This morning’s link was [...]
I’m very interested in iPad development – I’ve been going through the SDK for a few days, thinking about it in depth. That said, I think Vegas Mate really fits the phone/mobile concept very well, more so than it might on a larger screen size like we see on the iPad. Vegas Mate will run on [...]
Over the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about porting Vegas Mate, one of my iPhone apps, to other platforms, specifically Android. I see a future where Google and Apple both have significant market-share and thus if the goal is to make mobile apps a real livelihood, it’d be a good idea to be on [...]
Version 1.0 of SBClick has hit the App Store. This is an app I’ve been working on for those guys for a few months, as well as on some backend Web tools built with Ruby on Rails. This app, along with the most recent version of Bombora, both use the HTTPRiot framework on the iPhone [...]
Here’s what’s going on at the moment: A major new release of Vegas Mate, 2.0, is in approval with Apple and has been for weeks. This has been pretty frustrating as they have rejected it several times on the grounds it contains explicit content. This due to the fact I have rated it 17+. Hopefully [...]
The 2.0 version of my app, Vegas Mate, is entering beta testing in the next week or so. The 1.x branch used SQLite and FMDB for persistence while 2.0 has been entirely re-written to use Core Data. This means that VM2 requires iPhone OS 3.0 but after working with Core Data, I’m very comfortable with [...]
