It’s time for an update of Headlines2. I currently work pretty hard on fixing some small reported bugs and glitches and also include some new things in the next version. It will take a few days, but here are the already finished fixes and changes.

The changes will be (subject to change…):

  • [FIX] small glitch with article read pull down switching the article to fast
  • [FIX] current position (read count) in the article pop-up is now updated also in WebView
  • [ADD] Font size in list view is now selectable, we included three settings (small, medium, large) and need your feedback as soon as it’s available if the sizes fit your requested needs
  • [FIX] Some german translations
  • [ADD] You can now edit the title and URL of saved RSS feeds
  • [ADD] You can now reorder your RSS feeds and CustomNews searches
  • [FIX] Some small bug fixes that we found during the last few weeks

It’s currently planned to submit the Version 2.0.2 to HP next week.

Also I will change the reduced price back to $3.99 with this update, so if you haven’t bought the App yet for only $1.99 you should be fast to get a 50% rebate.

More info about Headlines2 is available here.

Yep, you read it right, another update for our MBTA transportation app for webOS.
We missed a few small things, no bug fixes just enhancements this time!

We added full HP Pre3 support and re-added the availability for the Touchpad in the HP AppCatalog again. We missed the little check box in the last update. Sorry about that.

Now the few lucky owners of a Pre3 can use the full screen of 480×800 without the black bar at the bottom to wait for trains & busses in the Boston Area. Enjoy!

 

Headlines2 is featured in latest HP newsletter

We were really surprised as we read the latest HP App News January issue, that we got via mail from the HP Newsletter subscription service.

There is Headlines2 featured in the “App special deals” section. The price is currently at $1.99. Now for a few more days, we decided to keep the price a little longer that low as we got featured. So if you haven’t you should grab a copy before the price is back at $3.99.

Track My Transit – Boston update

We just submitted an update for “Track My Transit – Boston” to the HP AppCatalog right in for the cold winter time.

This is update changes the colors of the prediction screen to be more readable in sunlight. So the dark blue is gone and changed to a lighter blue, that’s better readable on the dark background and therefore in daylight.
Also included are a number of small bug fixes with the T-Alerts system and some small performance improvements.

The update should be available in the next few days in the catalog and is for all the phones from Palm (Pre/Pre2, Pixi) and HP (Pre3, Veer)

More info about Track My Transit can be found here.

 

Long overdue update of MyLove

MyLoveI just submitted a long overdue update to one of the oldest apps from The CodingBees in the Palm HP AppCatalog. It’s the 2nd released app and was our first paid app back in May 2010.

It’s a simple and fun app, no productivity one like most of the other apps available.

The update includes only minor changes:

  • fixed a bug where webOS 2.x devices can’t launch the app
  • adjustments to fit the Pre3 screen size

nothing more, really :-)

Version 1.2.1 should be available soon. More info here

So to give you a short status on Headlines2 I’ve made a short video to show you how to read articles in Headlines2.
