Google Umbono initiative

admin — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:11:08 +0000

Tappnology applied to enter the Google Umbono program. We were up against some tough competition but we are pleased to say that our application has been moved forward to the final round. We are now in the TOP 10 and have been invited to a live pitch session on the 25th of July at Google Umbono. Wish us luck!

The idea we used to apply for Google Umbono happens to be our latest project. A soon to be not so secret universal Twitter app for the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone.

We can’t wait to show it off at Google Umbono. Keep your socks on because soon we will reveal this revolutionary application to the world.

Tweetwallsaver v1.6 not yet online

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:19:44 +0000

This has to be the longest wait ever. The new tweetwallsaver with improved features and with fixes addressing the dreaded signin bug is not yet ready for download. We submiited it to Apple but it is still undergoing Apples review system. We were hoping it would take less than 7 days but as it stands looks like this will be approved by this coming weekend. We ask those awaiting this update to please be patient.

Reported Tweetwallsaver bug- crash upon sign in: FIXED

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:01:22 +0000

Great news, the long awaited fix to the dreaded signin bug has now been FIXED! An update will go live on the iTunes store soon after their review process is done so be patient a while longer. This at most will take 2 to 3 days. We will keep you updated.

How was this fixed you ask? To avoid the techno-babble we scraped our twitter engine to the barebones and rebuilt it from the ground up to incorporate the newley introduced twitter integration feature in iOS5. Thanks to Apple this made work less difficult for our programmers.

Thats not all! You talked and we listened. This update introduces a new feature many of you have been asking for! You can now manually select the photos that appear in the photo mode by picking them from your photo gallery instead of the default mode that used to load all your photos.

Also in this update:

Improved overall app stability and performance especially with certain video transitions

Fixed text display overflow bug encountered with very long tweets

Other minor bug fixes

Monday rant: Photoshop layer hell

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:19:05 +0000

Photoshop is great and all but could they please introduce a search function in the layers menu… I try to group and arrange things as best as possible but its no fun going through literally hundreds of layers…

Reported Tweetwallsaver bug- sluggish performance

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:27:32 +0000

A small number of users in particular those with iPad 1 or iPads that are almost filled to capacity have reported sluggish performance. Our team is working on optimising tweetwallsaver to be less memory intensive. This fix is going well and will be incorporated in the same update addressing the other reported issue of the app crashing upon attempting to sign into Twitter.

Reported Tweetwallsaver bug- crash upon sign in: Progress update 1

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 07:00:06 +0000

We are still working on a fix for the reported bug thats causing Tweetwallsaver to crash whenever certain users attempt to sign in.

We are suspecting that it is something to do with changes on Twitter’s end and this has adversely affected certain user accounts when accessed through our application. As evidence of this, users experiencing the crash that have kindly gave us feedback have been able to sign in successfully without problems on the same device BUT using different accounts from family and friends.

Therefore the way forward at this time is for us to rewrite and update some of our code to cater for apparent changes on Twitter’s end. However time will be needed for us to test these new changes to ensure that the app is functioning as desired. Again we apologise for any inconvenience

We will keep you regularly posted. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
