iOS 7 Updates!

Just an update on some updates!

These apps now have been reimagined for iOS 7. A few have been live on the App Store for a little bit now, but one was just released today, TravelSpeakr Mini for iPhone + iPod touch.

Apps now updated for iOS 7:

Tuneful Tiger
Tuneful Tiger HD
Cinematic Cheetah
Apptical Albatross
YWA Calculator
TravelSpeakr Mini

But I'm not stopping here! At some point, all my iOS apps will be reimagined for iOS 7.

New logo!

In transitioning to simpler and cleaner interfaces for all my apps, I thought it only made sense to do so for my logo.

It didn't take long to make, but I think the simplicity of it gives it a level of impact not displayed by my previous logo design.

Cinematic Cheetah... Next in line!

Well underway, Cinematic Cheetah 1.4.0 is the next of my applications to receive an iOS 7 redesign. I have already completed a great deal of the transition, having now finished all of the visual redesigning. All that's left to do now is to redesign the code for the application to take advantage of some of the new features in iOS 7.

I will post again once the update goes live, so stay tuned!

The Year Of Conversion

This year, I will be spending a fair amount of my development efforts updating all my existing iOS apps to fit the new look and feel of iOS 7, as well as to take advantage of new features in the new operating system.

So far, Tuneful Tiger for iPhone and iPod touch has been successfully re-designed for iOS 7. I must say I am quite happy with the update so far, especially with the number of existing users that are updating to the newest version available. As a bit of a side note, there is one feature relating to images that I have been testing for a little bit now, that will be added to Tuneful Tiger for iPhone and iPod touch in the very near future.

The next app that will be updated for iOS 7 is Tuneful Tiger HD for iPad. This is well underway, and I am very pleased with the current progress. I think with this update, the Tuneful Tiger family of apps (iPhone/iPod touch, iPad, Mac) will become even more unified. Yet another side note, I hope to add in iCloud synchronization to the Mac version very soon. I realize it has been a long time since I said I would add it, but I ran into some difficult bugs to overcome. I now believe I should be able to implement the iCloud syncing without any issues.

Beyond the Tuneful Tiger apps, I think the next two logical apps in line for an iOS 7 update are Cinematic Cheetah and Apptical Albatross. After those two apps are updated, I will systematically work on each of my iOS apps, until they are all updated for iOS 7.

Thanks for reading and following along with me! I have never been more excited to be a developer for iOS or the Mac. iOS 7 and Mavericks truly represent a new shift in Apple's platforms!

Tuneful Tiger for Mac - 1.1.0 Now Available!

It has been a few days since it has been released on to the Mac App Store, but Tuneful Tiger 1.1.0 is now available. 

This is quite a significant upgrade, bringing both an improved flatter UI, as well as some new features. The new features relate to OS X Mountain Lion and it's built in sharing capabilities. Now, Tuneful Tiger takes full advantage of the sharing features. You can now easily share a song's info by Email, iMessage, Twitter or Facebook with the click of a single button. 

Of course, Tuneful Tiger 1.1.0 is still fully backwards compatible with OS X Lion. 

If you haven't already, get your free update today. If you don't yet own Tuneful Tiger, check it out on the Mac App Store!

Tuneful Tiger for Mac - Big Update On The Way!

Version 1.1.0 has just been completed and uploaded for final review! This update has been in development for a fair amount of time, but the timing seemed right to finish it up and submit it now.

Primarily, I was waiting to determine if there were any design change decisions that I would want to make. Ultimately, I did decide to drastically change the look and feel of Tuneful Tiger for Mac.

With the advent of OS X 10.9 Mavericks and iOS 7 nearing us, I decided to create a simpler, flatter design for Tuneful Tiger for Mac. I must say, I think this design does help quite a bit in making the experience more user friendly.

Also, in the process, I think I may have come up with the look that I want to use in the iOS 7 update for Tuneful Tiger.

I'll post again once the update for Tuneful Tiger for Mac goes live!
