Next Version submitted to the App Store

Version 1.2 has been submitted to the App Store.
This version includes:
  • Custom Training Sets 
  • Fixed and Random word lengths 
  • Delay before audio starts when training 
  • 90% training goal marked on graph 
  • in app options for feedback and support
Hopefully with this new version I'll get some direct feedback.
I'm looking for suggestions about how best to utilize the screen on an iPad for the 2.0 version.

Social Media

Beginning to integrate Social Media into the next version of Morse Elmer.
Mostly as a method to increase direct feedback on the app... Right now there's no way to respond to user comments in iTunes.  So I'm going to provide additional channels for them to reach me.

100 Downloads!!

Submitted the 1.0 version in late January... 100 downloads by April!  Not bad...

starting version 1.2

Well I've gotten some good comments on version 1.1 and have come up with a tentative list of features for the next version:

  • Add a line on the Progress Graph at 90%
  • Add a visual 3-2-1 countdown before the training starts
  • add a setting to choose between fixed/random length words in training
  • add a feedback  section to settings and add website/blog lengths to help
  • custom training set so you can focus on trouble characters.
  • bugs fixes
some things I'm considering for 2.0
  • iPad version, if I can figure how to utilize the space
  • in app text entry while training
I really want to get people to provide me direct feedback so I can improve Morse Elmer.  The comments in iTunes don't really cut it.   Starting with version 1.2 I'll hopefully improve that with the various additions for feedback

One reason I'm interested in feedback is I'm all for making a universal version to include the iPad, but I need suggestions on how to take advantage of the  screen real estate.

More to come
