GPS Locator & iFlashlight Pro {Optimizations}

The winter holidays, I started working again on some of my iPhone apps. To be more specific I made some improvements on the iFlashlight Pro app, which made it a little bit faster. The backside LED opens faster.

As for GPS Locator, I made some improvements on the code, which won't make any notable improvements on the performance of the app. They primary concern me, the main and only programmer of my apps, which made the code more reusable and easier to maintain.

I intend to make improvements on the speed and the battery consumption of GPS Locator, however this won't happen until the end of March (of 2012 of course), since my schedule is already full.

GPS Locator {Minor Update}

I haven't updated any of my apps since this summer, I had made some minor improvements, but I didn't have enough time to test it and upload. Now I finally made one small change on the UI of GPS Locator and I managed to upload it. Right now we are waiting for Apple's approval...

GPS Locator {fix}

I noticed some comments noting the annoying review alert, which appears each time you open the application. This happens always, unless you hit YES upon prompt. So, I decided to fix it, the next release will contain a fix regarding this annoyance.

Ranking!

Yesterday, GPS Locator finally reach one more top. First it was the Chinese market, where GPS Locator managed to get to the "Top Free Navigation Apps" and now is Greece. It finally reached #1, after weeks of moving from #2 to #4 and back, now GPS Locator is #1 in "Top Free Navigation Apps".

I would like to thank all of those who downloaded the app and tell them, that I will continue to support it, till I reach the best state possible. Also, don't forget to update today, to the new version 2.0. It will be released in a few hours from now.

GPS Locator v2.0 is ready and it will be released tomorrow! The update will remain free as most of you know, but also there is not going to be any change on the price for new customers. It will remain free, as always...

I hope you will enjoy the new update. :)

GPS Locator v2.0 {Ready}

The final 2.0 version is ready. The final tweaks have been made and potential bugs have been fixed successfully. The last touch is a new "guidance" section, which will provide information on how to use the app and its new recording feature. The last step will be the review by Apple.

V2.0 has been tested on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs on version 4.3+ and it works perfectly, I assume that it works on iPhone 3G as well. I also have tested the GPS Locator on 4.1+ on the iPhone simulator with success.

I am certain, that the new graphics will be adopted with ease by the users. The most significant changes appear on the feature buttons. The buttons are now part of a slide menu, which keeps the user interface clean and tidy removing any distractions. You can now spot the information you need faster and effortless.

GPS Locator v2.0 is almost ready, the final version is working perfectly; it only needs a few tweaks in terms of the UI and the data manipulation. I hope at the end of the next week I will be able to upload it for review.

I have already started testing it, but I will need a few more testers. So, if anyone wants to contribute on the testing phase of this version, he/she can contact me for more information.
